South Africa drought threatens 45 million people An estimated 45 million people are threatened with hunger by a severe drought strangling wide stretches of southern Africa. Emergency food deliveries are planned for parts of South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and other countries hard hit by a combination of low rainfall and high temperatures. “We are witnessing millions of already poor people facing extreme food insecurity and exhausting their reserves because of compounding climate shocks that hit already vulnerable communities hardest. They need help urgently,” said Nellie Nyang’wa, southern Africa director for the international aid agency, Oxfam. “The scale of the drought devastation across southern Africa is staggering.” Parts of Zimbabwe have had the lowest rainfall since 1981, contributing to making more than 5.5 million at risk of extreme food insecurity, Oxfam said in a report released Thursday. Zambia’s rich maize-growing area has been hit hard and exports are now banne...

The rise of "African Giant" Burna Boy Award-winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy has topped off a stellar music year with a Grammy nomination and cemented his place as this years breakaway music star. His 19 track album, African Giant, was nominated alongside music heavyweights including Angelique Kidjo and Altin Gun. He follows in the footsteps of Femi and Seun Kuti, (the sons of legendary musician, Fela Kuti) King Sunny Ade and other Nigerian music stars. It has been a standout year for Burna Boy, (real name Damini Ogulu) who has won a string of awards and sold out venues across the globe. Its all a far cry from when he was yet to attain global fame and his Coachella billing apparently displeased him. He took to social media to complain about his name being "so small" on the festival poster, and urged organizers to "fix things quick please". "I dont appreciate the way my name is written so small on your bill," "I am an AFRICAN GI...

Mancity expects decision if Mikel Arteta's will join Arsenal Pep Guardiola expects a quick decision on whether Mikel Arteta will become Arsenals new manager and says he cannot make an argument for the former Gunner not taking the job. Manchester City expect to have Arteta in the dug-out for the Carabao Cup quarter-final at Oxford on Wednesday. Citys assistant manager has spoken with senior Arsenal figures about the possibility of replacing Unai Emery. "I think it [the decision] is going to happen quick," said Guardiola. "Why not [go]? Its a good argument." Arteta, 37, took part in City training on Tuesday after two rounds of discussions with the Gunners. Gunners chief executive Vinai Venkatesham was pictured outside former Spain Under-21 international Artetas home after both flew north following Citys 3-0 win at Arsenal on Sunday. It is not yet known whether Arteta has been offered the chance to succeed compatriot Emery, who was sacked in November. G...

The Anxiety of Falling In Love It's not easy being in college surrounded by friends who take pride in falling in love while you played the role of a sympathetic witness. Yes, that's me. It's not that I didn't yearn for the attention or the affection of the opposite sex. I did. But at the same time, I believed I didn't deserve the same. The reason being simple. I was the plain Jane who looked good only when there was a movie made on her life. I was that sidekick whose only brush with love was to be the messenger of the love letters of her best friend's boyfriend. My self-esteem was all-time low and I believed that the pigeon in 'Maine Pyar Kiya' had better chances of having a love story than me. And it's the kind of fear you are scared of sharing with anyone. Sometimes, I would try my best to cover that fear with a truckload of make-up. Thus began my tryst with beauty products and every penny I got as pocket money w...

Are you in an emotionally healthy relationship? I care deeply about staying connected to my husband. I want to have a healthy, happy married life. But I don’t always successfully communicate my love and affection for him. When I ended our 10-year anniversary date by dismissing myself from the table during dessert, I realized I ride a teeter-totter of emotion in our marriage. I’m either coming in hot in anger or building a barrier that distances us to protect myself from what I feel when he doesn’t meet my expectations. Neither method leads to an emotionally healthy marriage. Emotional disconnection is an indicator of impending divorce. Most divorcees say they grew apart, largely because they “couldn’t communicate.” This is sad because the problem probably wasn’t about communication but about disconnection. My husband and I needed a lot of help to create a safe space where we could share our emotions candidly. Thankfully, we had the opportunity to attend a marriage retreat i...

Signs that he does not want you People of the opposite sex are sometimes hard to understand. When dealing with a person romantically, some red flags can be easily missed as your reasoning is clouded with romantic emotions. Some warning signs that the situation won’t end well always go unnoticed. Below we talk about author and poet Derrick Jaxn’s three clear signs that he doesn’t want you. 1. His rules or the highway This man controls various aspects of your relationship including where you two hang out, what you do when together, or even what you eat. He likes things done at his convenience irrespective of whether or not it inconveniences you. If you express your boundaries and counteract his “laws”, he starts to act distant with you. From this, it’s clear that he didn’t really want you, to start with. He just wants to have you around. You are convenient for him and that is that. He is only cool with you when you do things on his terms, but as soon as you start becoming an ...

Top 5 Christmas traditions for couples My husband and I had two Christmases together before we started having kids. That wasn’t much time to figure out our own Christmas rhythms and traditions. Once we started having kids, our Christmas began to center around them, what to buy them, and what traditions we wanted to start with them. Things haven’t slowed down and if we aren’t intentional about participating in Christmas traditions for couples, we’ll go another year without establishing our own. So this year, though we will still carry on some of our favorite family traditions, we also will start some new ones for just the two of us. Here are some of our favorite Christmas traditions for couples. 1. Open presents on Christmas Eve. Many couples live near family or travel at Christmas time. Before we had kids, my husband and I spent our Christmases alternating between our parents’ houses each year. Now that we have kids, Christmas Eve is usually spent wrapping last-minute gifts...

Do you have to work on a relationship to make it a good one? Do you have to work on a relationship to make it a good one? 2019-12-16 09:24:01 Do you have to work on a relationship to make it a good one and keep it that way? Here’s a great question someone asked last week on this topic that we thought was worth chewing on a bit… “You hear many people say that a relationship shouldn’t be ‘work.’ Is that true? If not, then what kind of ‘work’ should it be?” The definition of “work” is mental or physical effort and most of the time, people equate this effort with struggle–or trying really hard to “do” something they really don’t want to do. Often, one person wants to work on a relationship which might mean reading books or taking courses, trying some new techniques along the way… And the other person in the relationship becomes passive-aggressive either drags his or her feet or refuses entirely to participate. So if your mindset is that you have to “work” on a relationship, it’...

What it takes to be Miss World For a little girl watching Jamaicas Toni-Ann Singh being crowned by her predecessor in a surreal, tear- jerking moment, with sheer joy and glamour seeping through even the TV screen, being Miss World means being a celebrated and adored princess. But amidst the statuesque ladies, shiny crown and beautiful, glistening evening gowns lies a wealth of history and an important platform for the discussion of societal change. Both Miss World and Miss Universe are among the big four international beauty pageants. They are widely covered and broadcast by media, and are considered prestigious. Miss Earth and Miss International complete the foursome. Miss World Miss World began as a bikini contest during the Festival of Britain celebrations in 1951, and was initially known as the Festival Bikini Contest. The show aimed to get people warmed up to the idea of bikinis, which were widely regarded as controversial and indecent at the time. The first ever Miss ...

Trump, Unbowed, Uses Rally to Strike Back Against Impeachment Vote A defiant President Trump sought to grab back the spotlight in front of an arena full of supporters in Battle Creek, Mich., on Wednesday night, after spending the day holed up in the White House as the House of Representatives prepared to cast votes on two articles of impeachment against him. “It doesn’t really feel like we’re being impeached,” Mr. Trump said in his first public remarks ahead of the historic vote on his impeachment. “The country is doing better than ever before. We did nothing wrong. We have tremendous support in the Republican Party like we’ve never had before.” Vice President Mike Pence, who introduced Mr. Trump at the rally, indicated that the president wanted to wait until after the House vote to take the stage. “He wanted to wait to see that strong, unified Republican vote on the floor tonight,” Mr. Pence said. But a few minutes later, as Representative Adam B. Schiff, chairman of the H...

5 WhatsApp contacts you must delete before 2020 WhatsApp needs no introduction. It is undoubtedly the king of cross-platform instant messaging applications popular with end-users who do not have unlimited text messaging. Beyond its social networking capabilities, it has also allowed more businesses to market their products and services at no cost to their immediate contacts. One would think that with the proximity WhatsApp affords everyone and every business, it will make social interaction easier and selling and buying easier for especially small businesses but it hasn’t been largely so. Amongst so many factors, small business owners would need to take a second look at their contact list as it constitutes who appears on their Whatsapp and start considering trimming down their old contacts and adding more valuable ones that can become clients and customers. There are 5 of such contacts you as an entrepreneur should consider delisting from your contact before 2020. 1. WWShop...

Nigeria: Is the ruling party APC at war? All seem to be well with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) until recently when the #OshiomholeMustGo crusade took centre stage in the affairs and the narrative of discussion of the Party itself. Since then it has been “new week, new trouble” for the APC. The troubles within the APC seem to be beyond President Buhari himself who is even having family problems to attend to, thus far as he keeps referring Party members to the Constitution of the Party, in resolving its conflicts. The President even said to the Party leaders during a recent meeting that if they want to remove Oshiomhole from Office as National Chairman, they can go ahead and do so, by following due process as enshrined in the Party constitution. The events in recent times point clearly to show that the ranks within the APC are at daggers-drawn with themselves. The recent non-renewal of Tunde Fowler’s tenure as Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) boss on ground...

Man chops off girlfriends head with a machete Police and residents gather outside a home where Portia Ramakavhi, inset, was killed in Tshino village. / SUPPLIEDA woman who was chopped to death, allegedly by her boyfriend, was warned to file for a protection order after years of physical abuse. Portia Ramakavhi, 35, from HaMutsha village, outside Thohoyandou in Limpopo, was stabbed with a sharp object on her upper body and chopped with a panga on her head on Saturday. Ramakavhis uncle Owen Mulovhedzi told Sowetan yesterday he had on several occasions advised his niece to secure a protection order against her abusive boyfriend, fearing he would kill her one day. "She took my advice lightly. I said this because I could see the man had turned her into a punching bag. He would even beat her inside my yard." Mulovhedzi said he secured a protection order against the man earlier this year. "After he assaulted her in front of me in my yard, I went to the police and go...

YahooBoy Sets Girlfriend On Fire Money is truly the root of all evil leading to the commitment of so many dastard acts of crime against God and humanity. The love of money cuts across all race, social class and gender. It is normal for all human being to aspire to be rich and command the respect that comes with being affluent, but what is absurd is, the desire for money at the expense of another life through shady or diabolic means. The moral decadence of the present-day youth is mocking the biblical story of Cain and Abel, the evil conception of the human mind and idle hand defies reasoning, the quest in Nigeria for wealth and material acquisition calls for concern from all and sundry. In the years gone by, a ritual was synonymous with traditional worshippers with the slaughtering of live stocks to the gods during the observation or celebration of one festival or the other. That was in yesteryears, the ritualists of today, are the youths who do so not for the observation o...
