Khloe Kardashian reveals she lost her virginity at 15

Posted: 21 Feb 2016 12:01 PM PST

Khloe Kardashian in a video posted on Kourtney Kardashian's website revealed that she was only 15 years old when she lost her virginity.

'I think it was 15?' Kourtney asked her, as the two played a game called Know Thy Sister

Khloe confirmed the age, revealing she had written it on her whiteboard, but not giving any further information.


The two then revealed that Kourtney's first kiss didn't happen until she was a little older.

Asked by Khloe if she was in 5th grade - at around ten-years-old - the mother-of-three replied with mock horror: 'What? Who do you think I am?'

When Khloe asked her '8th' it then emerged she wasn't exactly sure of her age.

'I dunno,' said Kourtney. 'I remember it being a late first kiss. But I made up for it by doing more than just kissing.'

The questioning had begun on a rather more innocent note, as the two were first asked their favorite colour.

Fallen Naira: DPC advises CBN Governor Emefiele to resign

Posted: 21 Feb 2016 05:12 AM PST

The Democratic Peoples Congress DPC, has called on the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to resign following the declining state of the Naira and the Economy. The party's position is contained in a statement released by the party's Chairman, Reverend Olusegun Peters on Friday February 19th.


"The Central Bank of Nigeria under Emefiele's watch is confused and overwhelmed by the country's economic downturn. His trial and error policies in recent times are classical example of voodoo economics, if not economic terrorism. "We demand his immediate resignation and re-organization of the apex bank for effective policy formation and implementation that will stimulate the national economy and steer it on the path of growth, development, advancement and prosperity. "The present crop of top CBN officers are suffering from leadership fatigue and ignorant of effective strategies to evamp the economy and restore the value and dignity of the nation's currency, naira. "It is time for all patriotic Nigerians to stand up and be counted in the efforts to overhaul the economy and save the naira from further depreciation," the party said.

The Most Overlooked Cause Of Belly Fat

Posted: 21 Feb 2016 02:55 AM PST

This is a sponsored post...
"If you've been working out regularly and watching what you eat, but you STILL can't seem to get rid of that stubborn belly fat, there may be a "hidden" cause - and it has nothing to do with diet OR exercise. So, today I want to talk about why it's so hard for you to get rid of belly fat, explain what could be the hidden cause (most people never consider this), and give you simple and effective ways you combat your stubborn "ab flab" Alright, let's dive right in…


The reason stomach fat is so difficult to get rid of is because it's heavily influenced by your hormones.  Don't get me wrong…your stomach fat isn't the only area that's controlled by your hormones, but it happens to be the most sensitive.  

So what does this mean?
It means that exercising and eating right may not be enough to get rid of your stubborn belly fat.
And here's one hormone in particular, that most people don't even consider…which could be causing you to retain belly fat.
Your cortisol hormone. 
Cortisol is your stress hormone.  It's an important hormone that's essential for human survival.  Whenever your body experiences any type of stress (whether it be mental or physical) your body secretes cortisol, which then initiates a cascade of other physiological responses necessary for your body to keep functioning. 

You can look at it like an emergency generator.  If the main source of electricity goes out in your area from some unforeseen incident, the emergency generator kicks in to give you power until the main source is fixed.  But the emergency generator isn't meant to provide power for the long term.  And that's a lot like your cortisol.  Cortisol turns "off" many of the normal physiological mechanisms and turns "on" many temporary physiological mechanisms (the operative word being "temporary").

In a normal situation, cortisol production only lasts for a short period of time and afterwards, all metabolic functions go back to normal.  But this is where things can go wrong, because in many cases these stresses that cause your body to secrete cortisol occur way too often and stay "on" for way too long.  

When you're body experiences constant stress, it continuously secretes cortisol and that's when cortisol becomes counterproductive to your body.  And depending on how long and how much cortisol you have circulating in your body, it can seriously compromise your health and alter your metabolic process causing you to gain stubborn unrelenting belly fat!  Researchers at Yale University found slender women who had high cortisol also had more abdominal fat. 

So, if you tend to gain belly fat easily and have a difficult time getting rid of it, there's a strong likelihood that you're producing too much cortisol. 
Here are 2 questions I want you to ask yourself to see if there's something other than diet and exercise that may be hindering your progress:
  1. Are you sleeping enough? Getting enough quality sleep is the most important thing you can do to minimize stress, optimize your health and help your body to burn more fat!  During your sleep, your body utilizes fat as it's primary source of fuel.  So getting enough sleep is key to making sure that your body burns off more fat!  If you have a hard time sleeping, try reading a book (non-fiction or self improvement type of books tend to work best).  Sleeping in complete darkness also helps you sleep more soundly.  Get rid of electrical equipment like phones, computers, TV's, and radios in your bedroom (or at least switch them off when you go to sleep).  Studies have found that the less electrical magnetic field you're exposed to, the better your mind and body rests.
  1. Do you feel tired all of the time? If you're constantly feeling tired, it means you're not recovering enough. Inadequate recovery means that your body still has cortisol coursing through your body. In situations like this, it's best to give yourself a break and and let your body rest.  Your only going to do your body more disservice by pushing through the fatigue.  In fact, you'll only be increasing your cortisol production and making your belly fat even more difficult to burn off.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, cortisol may be to blame.  And if so, the solution is pretty easy…sleep, rest and recover!  Improving these three seemingly unrelated (but very important!) factors can help reduce your cortisol, so you can finally start burning fat off your stomach.

Photos: 19-year-old Chelsea prospect, Ola Aina donates all his old football boots and kits to teams in Nigeria

Posted: 21 Feb 2016 02:47 AM PST

Southwark-born Chelsea prospect Temitayo Olufisayo Olaoluwa Aina has earned the respect of many because he donated all his old boots and kits to less fortunate teams in Nigeria. Writing on Instagram, Aina, "All my old boots, balls and kits being shipped off to the motherland (Lagos Nigeria) this morning to the less fortunate #giveback #2nddrop #nigeria"


"All to "leke" Lagos Nigeria" he wrote on twitter with more photos of his donations.

Sponsored by sportswear giants Adidas, Aina was able to send a large quantity of boots he has acquired over his young promising career. The 19-year-old defender is yet to make a senior appearance for Chelsea but he's hotly tipped to follow Ruben Loftus-Cheek into the first-team set up after winning the U21 Premier League, FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League with the Blues.

The youngster came to the attention of football fans less than a month ago when he rifled in a stunning strike from his own half in an U21 game against Spurs.

Aina signed a first-year professional contract in October 2013 commiting him to the club until the end of the 2015/16 season.

Young boy's throat cut by his friends at an IDP camp in Borno (photos)

Posted: 21 Feb 2016 02:43 AM PST

According to Dan-Borno who shared these photos on twitter, this little boy was lured to a corner by some of his friends, who attacked him with a sharp object. One of them managed to cut his throat but thankfully it wasn't fatal. The quick intervention of an elderly person saved the young boy's life.

 

Dan-Borno said attacks are becoming frequent and government has to start a re-orientation of the people in various IDP camps so that we don't unknowingly breed a new crop of insurgents whose minds have become radicalized because of their circumstances...
