| The Bank Abuja reacts to alleged head breaking incident at their club Posted: 02 Aug 2015 12:56 PM PDT  Our attention has been drawn to an ongoing rumour that a man identified as Mr. Rex had his head broken at the Bank Club in Abuja on July 5th. Even though we hardly respond to a made up story based on writer's imagination, we are quick to say the writer is on a witch-hunt mission, which we can only term self destructive.We are not oblivious of the fact that we have big competitors in this business, but we are shocked that some individuals could be so pushed to the extent of connecting us to an incident that does not involve us directly. We beg to dissociate ourselves from the incident, and for the record, The Bank is against all forms of violence, not just around where it is situated, but everywhere in the country. Our track record is straight, especially on the issue of security within and outside the club. We react thus: 1. Why have they suddenly realized the need to go to the media for an incident that they claimed happened on the 5th of July? From our record, it's almost a month since they claimed the incident happened. To us, they had to take their time to cook up the lies. 2. The writer admitted his friend had a misunderstanding with a man, whose name was not mentioned in his report. We wonder how the Bank is connected to the explanation given as to what led to the misunderstanding. The same man had admitted touching three girls on their a**es which made our security men to see them out of the club after a disagreement. We were surprised to have had him approach us with some policemen over an issue between him and his colleague he claimed had trouble with him from another club over the same issue. How can the club be blamed for his uncultured behaviour that resulted to a squabble? Instead of raising frivolous allegation against a reputable club such as the Bank, we urge the writer to advise his friend on the need to be civil going forward. 3. The same friend brought some policemen to the club the next day and the law abiding club addressed both the police and the alleged victim with all civility, hence the latest publication is continuously and witch-hunt mission. 4. We do not see any reason our club should be connected to the incident that happened outside the club, following a spontaneous reaction from an angry man. Even if our security men were to do anything to forestall such incident, it's definitely not a case that happened outside the club and spontaneously. 5. How can the same 'Rex'(we suspect) who has since been barred by our security man from coming into our club be raising a compromising allegation such as this? 6. Since then, the Bank has further beefed up its security, and will continue to assure its usual patrons to disregard the allegation. Signed: A. A ( Publicity Secretary) The Bank. |

| Read Details On Why Yoghurt Base Drink Is Good For You Posted: 02 Aug 2015 06:13 AM PDT  Is Yogurt Base Drink Really Good for You? The yogurt section in the grocery store has gotten pretty complicated. Instead of just choosing between regular and light, or fruit on the bottom versus premixed varieties, customers can now select what kind of bacteria they wish to devour with each cold spoonful. Yogurt manufacturers have long marketed the "live, active cultures" in their products, but Dannon, Yoplait and other industry giants have recently introduced new brands of specialized yogurts containing trademarked microbial strains. Scientists continue to conduct research into how these microbes may contribute to healthy living. A study published in the British Medical Journal last year supported the medicinal benefits of yogurt, though in a limited setting. It showed that geriatric hospital patients who drank a probiotic yogurt beverage were less likely to suffer from diarrhea caused by ongoing antibiotic treatment. But some nutritionists remain skeptical about the potential advantages that probiotics can offer most people. Despite its narrow range of participants, the study confirmed that probiotic yoghurt aided many of those involved. "We have shown that simply giving a probiotic drink to elderly patients who are prescribed antibiotics reduces their risk of getting diarrhea," says Mary Hickson, a research dietician at Imperial College in London and the lead author of the study. (http://www. Why is yoghurt Base Drink good for me? The health benefits of the lactic bacteria in yoghurt are well known. These include immune system support; less constipation, stomach acidity and diarrhea; lower body fat; protection against food poisoning bugs; stronger bones and fresher breath. A highly nutritious food, providing appetite-satisfying protein, and a clutch of vitamins and minerals, unsweetened yoghurt makes an extremely healthy snack. Don't pour off the whey liquid that separates from the milk solids – it's full of protein. Organic milk is more nutritious than the non-organic equivalent. Taking probiotic drink can change the way the bacteria break down the carbs you eat, a new study suggests. Researchers found that eating yogurt daily did not alter the species of microbes in the intestines of people, or mice transplanted with human gut microbes. However, when the researchers looked at the activity of bacterial enzymes in the mice's guts, they discovered significant changes in some of the enzymes — particularly those involved in metabolizing carbohydrates. The Real Deal with Yoghurt Base Drinks According to a recent Beverage Industry report, probiotic beverages are the hottest bottled drinks to claim space in your grocer's refrigerator section. Their labels say they can do everything from detoxifying the body to giving you a boost of energy. While the FDA hasn't approved any health claims for any probiotics, and these "good bacteria" aren't considered essential to our diet, probiotics have become important in maintaining a healthful gut and stronger immunity, says Jackie Newgent, RDN, CDN, author of The with or without Meat Cookbook. "Probiotics help maintain the natural balance of organisms in our intestines and can help treat and potentially prevent GI issues, such as diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and those resulting from antibiotic treatment," she says. Here's the deal on whether your gut and your wallet need to add probiotic beverages to your diet and grocery cart. From the above details, it's obvious that should join the growing number of people taking YUGO-yoghurt base drink. In fact, you have a whole lot to benefit by making it your preferred drink... Enjoy! |

| This 24 year old Nigerian lady says she's slept with 600 men Posted: 02 Aug 2015 04:33 AM PDT   "My boyfriend whom I met at Onitsha, Anambra State when I went to visit an uncle was sponsoring my education. We had agreed to get married as soon as possible. Then some people I regarded as friends started peddling wicked lies against me and without confirming if what they were saying was true or false, he called it quits just like that. They told him I had an incurable disease. So, I decided to help myself because my parents cannot do anything for me. We are poor" she explained.She also had a very interesting interview with The Sun newspaper reporter. Read that after the cut... She said that when her boyfriend walked out of the relationship, she got a job in the bar section of a hotel but her take-home pay could barely take her anywhere. So, one day, she went to a nightclub with her friends and a man took her to his hotel room. The following morning, the man gave her N15,000 for services rendered and she was hooked. Consider what she said: "They were paying me N10,000 a month and you work late hours. But if you go out to hustle in the night, you can get that kind of money within a day or two. About 600 men slept with me from last year to this year."But Beatrice is now singing a different tune. She said that she later discovered that prostitution is not as lucrative as she had thought. She said that she is tired of warming men's bed every night, adding that she wants to settle down. Below is excerpt of the conversation she had with the Sun Reporter: How much were you making per night? Sometimes N5,000 or more. Sometimes a man will sleep with you and in the morning he will start telling you stories, saying he has no money. In such situation what do you do? What can you do? You just go home. When did you start hustling? Last year. About how many men have you slept with? About 600 men slept with me from last year to this year. How many since you started? That is all, sir. Are you truly promising that you won't do prostitution again? Yes, I promise. How many abortions have you done? Two times. I'm telling you the truth. Do you have children?

How old was the pregnancy? One month. Did you tell your parents about the pregnancy? No. How long did you date the man? He was not my friend. So, what happened? My girlfriend and I were going to my uncle's place in Asaba but somehow, I lost the address of the place. So we were stranded that night; we didn't know what to do. We now met the man and told him what happened to us. He now accommodated us in his house. That night, he gave me food to eat. The following day I left. I did not know I was pregnant. Did he rape you? Something like that. The food I ate made me sleep off. Was he the first man to sleep with you? Yes. Your girlfriend also slept in the same house Yes, with the guy's friend. His friend slept with your friend? I don't know. She did not tell me. When did you get pregnant for the second time? Who did it? My boyfriend. He asked you to abort it? No. He wanted to marry me but I don't like him for marriage. How old was the pregnancy before the abortion? One month. Do you like sex? Please, why are you asking me all these questions? No. I don't. But I will for my loved one. Hope you are now using condoms? Yes. Have you done HIV test? Yes. When? Last two months. Why? Did you suspect that you were infected? How? No. Why did you go for the test? Nothing. I just went. There must be a reason for doing that. Tell me the truth Ok. A man came to seek my hand in marriage. That was why I went. Why didn't you marry him? I don't like him. How much did you save from hustling? I don't have any money, please. What did you do with the money you made? I used it to take care of my school fees, house rent and myself. How much are your school fees and house rent? My school fees is N20,000 while my house rent is N100,000 a year. It is a self-contain apartment but I have a roommate. Do you go to church? Yes. I do. After sleeping with a man in a hotel at night, you go to church in the morning? Not always. Why did you stop hustling? I'm tired of it. Is it because you are no longer making enough money? It's not like that. I want to settle down. I'm tired. You are tired of everyday sex? Yes. I want to marry. I need God's help in my life. If a man offers you like N20,000 for a night, will you reject it? Yes. I'm tired. Please sir, I need help. I only look up to God for help. When was the last time you went out on business? I can't remember the date but it was on a Sunday. I think it was in May. So, no amount of money can make you do it? Yes sir. Will you confess to your husband when you marry that you slept with more than 600 men in one year? Yes. If he is the one that will understand me, I will. You will confess before or after marriage?

Do you enjoy it? No. Why then were you doing it? I just feel like doing it some times. How does sperm taste? Please can you tell me why you are asking me all these questions? Please, I don't know. I know that I need help from God but I don't want to answer this kind of questions. Is the girl you travelled to Asaba with also a prostitute? Please I don't know. She is a student. Which school? Unilag. Have you ever been arrested by the police? No. I want to link you with an NGO that rehabilitates prostitutes. Your life will be turned around. How? I don't understand. Hmmm. Me? Permanent solution to your problem Prostitutes? That means you don't like me. Ladies looking for men to sleep with are called prostitutes or harlots. You were doing that Yes I know. But not now. Ok. You are a retired prostitute No. I'm not a prostitute. |

| From a factory worker to the world's richest self-made woman: The story of Zhou Qunfei Posted: 02 Aug 2015 02:58 AM PDT  Zhou Qunfei is the founder of Lens Technology and owns a $27 million estate in Hong Kong. Her stake in Lens Technology, which went public this year, is worth $7.2 billion. But long before all this, she worked in a factory and helped her family raise pigs and ducks for food and additional money. This is her inspiring story written by David Barboza for The New York Times. Read it after the cut...  How a Chinese Billionaire Built Her Fortune Qunfei is the world's richest self-made woman. Ms. Zhou, the founder of Lens Technology, owns a $27 million estate in Hong Kong. She jets off to Silicon Valley and Seoul, South Korea, to court executives at Apple and Samsung, her two biggest customers. She has played host to President Xi Jinping of China, when he visited her company's headquarters. But she seems most at home pacing the floor of her state-of-the-art factory, tinkering. She'll dip her hands into a tray of water, to determine whether the temperature is just right. She can explain the intricacies of heating glass in a potassium ion bath. When she passes a grinding machine, she is apt to ask technicians to step aside so she can take their place for a while.  "She 'll sometimes sit down and worked as an operator to see if there is anything wrong with the process," said James Zhao, a general manager at Lens Technology. "That will put me in a very awkward position. If there was a problem, she'd say, "Why didn't you see that?" Ms. Zhou has honed her hands-on knowledge into a world-class, multibillion-dollar operation, one at the vanguard of China's push into high-end manufacturing. Lens Technology is now one of the leading suppliers of the so-called cover glass used in laptops, tablets and mobile devices, including the Apple iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy. This year, her factories are expected to churn out more than a billion glass screens, each refined to a fraction of a millimeter. "This is an industry that requires highly sophisticated technology," says Stone Wu, an analyst at IHS Technology, the research firm. "If you have a ruler, check out how thin 0.5 millimeters is, and you'll understand how hard it is to manufacture something that thin."  In creating a global supplier, Ms. Zhou, 44, has come to define a new class of female entrepreneurs in China who have built their wealth from nearly nothing — a rarity in the world of business. In Japan, there is not a single self-made female billionaire, according to Forbes. In the United States and Europe, most women who are billionaires secured their wealth through inheritance. No country has more self-made female billionaires than China. The Communist Party, under Mao Zedong, promoted gender equality, allowing women to flourish after capitalism started to take hold, according to Huang Yasheng, an expert in China's entrepreneurial class and a professor of international management at M.I.T. And in a country with few established players, entrepreneurs like Ms. Zhou were able to quickly make their mark when they entered business in the 1990s as China's economic engine was revving up. Ms. Zhou's stake in Lens Technology, which went public this year, is worth $7.2 billion. That puts her fortune on par with the media tycoon John C. Malone and Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. Ms. Zhou isn't a celebrity chieftain, like Jack Ma, the billionaire founder of the e-commerce giant Alibaba. Few in China had even heard her name before her company's public offering this year. She rarely grants interviews or makes public appearances. An elegant woman with a cherubic face, owlish glasses and a preference for Christian Dior suits, Ms. Zhou is fastidious and demanding — "Sit up straight!" she commands of a general manager during a meeting. Yet she exudes charm and humility, a quiet recognition that things could have easily turned out differently. "In the village where I grew up, a lot of girls didn't have a choice of whether to go to middle school. They would get engaged or married and spend their entire life in that village," she said in an interview at her office, where there was a wooden statue of Mao and a 27-inch desktop Mac. "I chose to be in business, and I don't regret it."  Leaning Toward the Obsessive The youngest of three children, Ms. Zhou was born in a tiny village in the Hunan Province of central China, a farming community about two hours south of Changsha, the provincial capital. Her mother died when she was 5. Her father, a skilled craftsman, later lost a finger and most of his eyesight in an industrial accident. At home, she helped her family raise pigs and ducks for food and additional money. At school, she excelled. "She was a hard-working and talented student," Zhong Xiaobai, her former middle-school teacher, says. "I once read her essay, 'My Mother,' aloud in class. It was so moving it brought everyone to tears." Despite her academic focus, Ms. Zhou dropped out of school at 16 and traveled south to Guangdong province to live with her uncle's family and search for better work. While she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer, she eventually landed a job on a factory floor in the city of Shenzhen, making watch lenses for about $1 a day. The conditions, she said, were harsh. "I worked from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m., and sometimes until 2 a.m.," Ms. Zhou recalled. "There were no shifts, just a few dozen people, and we all polished glass. I didn't enjoy it." After three months, she decided to quit and wrote a letter of resignation to her boss. In it, she complained about the hours and boredom. Even so, she expressed her gratitude for the job, saying she wanted to learn more. The letter impressed the factory chief, who told her the plant was about to adopt new processes. He asked her to stay, offering her a promotion. It was the first of several over the next three years. In 1993, Ms. Zhou, then 22, decided to set out on her own. With $3,000 in savings, she and several relatives started their own workshop next door. They lured customers with the promise of even higher-quality watch lenses. At the new company, Ms. Zhou did it all. She repaired and designed factory machinery. She taught herself complex screen-printing processes and difficult techniques that allowed her to improve prints for curved glass. "In the Hunan language, we call women like her 'ba de man,' which means a person who dares to do what others are afraid to do," said her cousin Zhou Xinyi, who helped her open the workshop and now serves on the Lens board. Along the way, Zhou Qunfei married her former factory boss, had a child and divorced. She later married a longtime factory colleague, who serves on the Lens board, and had a second child. Her work habits lean toward the obsessive. Her company's headquarters is at one of her manufacturing plants in Changsha. In her spacious office, a door behind her desk opens into a small apartment, ensuring she can roam the factory floor day or night. Propelled to Dominance It was the mobile phone that made Ms. Zhou a billionaire. In 2003, she was still making glass for watches when she received an unexpected phone call from executives at Motorola. They asked if she was willing to help them develop a glass screen for their new device, the Razr V3. At the time, the display screens on most mobile phones were made of plastic. Motorola wanted a glass display that would be more resistant to scratches and provide sharper images for text messages, photos and multimedia. "I got this call, and they said, 'Just answer yes or no, and if the answer's yes, we'll help you set up the process,' " Ms. Zhou recalled. "I said yes." Soon after, orders started rolling in from other mobile-phone makers like HTC, Nokia and Samsung. Then, in 2007, Apple entered the market with the iPhone, which had a keyboard-enabled glass touch screen that rewrote the rules of the game for mobile devices. Apple picked Lens as its supplier, propelling Ms. Zhou's company into a dominant position in China. After that, Ms. Zhou invested heavily in new facilities and hired skilled technicians. More than once, colleagues say, she put up her apartment as a guarantee for a new bank loan. Within five years, she had manufacturing plants under construction in three cities. "She's a passionate entrepreneur, and she's very hands-on," says James Hollis, an executive at Corning, which has a partnership with Lens Technology. "I've watched her company grow, and her develop a strong team. Now there are over 100 competitors in this space, but Lens is a Tier 1 player." Lens operates round the clock, with 75,000 workers spread across three main manufacturing facilities that occupy about 800 acres in the Changsha region. Each day, the company receives bulk shipments of glass from global manufacturers like Corning in the United States and Asahi Glass in Japan. The glass is cut, ground down to size, bored and polished to give each plate a transparent finish. Then the plates are strengthened in a potassium ion bath, painted and cured. Finally, they are cleaned and coated with anti-smudge and anti-reflection films. Ms. Zhou designs and choreographs nearly every step of the process, a detailed-oriented approach she traces to her childhood. "My father had lost his eyesight, so if we placed something somewhere, it had to be in the right spot, exactly, or something could go wrong," she said. "That's the attention to detail I demand at the workplace." Lens has not experienced the kinds of labor troubles that have clouded other contract manufacturers like Foxconn. But current and former workers say the job is challenging. Much of the work is done by young women who inspect glass at different angles, trying to detect flaws. "As a quality inspector, I had to stare at those products all day long, so this is a tiring job," said Gao Zhimei, who recently left Lens Technology. "But I should say that working in manufacturing is always tiring and working at Lens is not more tiring than working in other factories." Expanding a Customer Base Lens Technology went public in March, as the Chinese stock market was booming. With the recent market collapse, the company has lost 45 percent in value, but it is still worth about $8 billion. Last year, the company notched revenue of about $2.4 billion. Profit rose 40 percent in the first quarter. But Lens gets nearly 75 percent of its revenue from Apple and Samsung, making the company reliant on just two customers. In May, at the first shareholders' meeting since the company went public, an investor pressed Lens about how it planned to maintain an edge in a hypercompetitive market that thrives on innovation. Several executives tried to answer the question. Then Ms. Zhou spoke up, saying she was prepared to diversify the company's business with production facilities geared toward higher-end glass, as well as sapphire and ceramic. After the meeting adjourned, investors piled into a bus and rode with Ms. Zhou to the Lens campus, less than a mile away. Ms. Zhou had sat quietly through much of the shareholders' meeting, but on the tour of the factory, she came alive. The shareholders hung on every word. -The New York Times |

| PureLeef body enhancement company claim they didnt pay Kylie Jenner to promote them Posted: 02 Aug 2015 01:11 AM PDT  A lot of people didn't believe her asstes were real, saying she got her butt and boobs from surgical knives, not the enhancing cream.
