Don’t Fight Ageing With Creams Alone
Many people will spend money on anti-ageing creams, facial surgical procedures and other cosmetic processes that claim to restore youthfulness or chunk off some years from their looks.
Well, some people are able to achieve temporary relief from the scrawny lines that wrinkles foist on the face, neck and the forehead — three areas of the body that readily give away, unsolicited, the number of decades someone has spent so far on this part of the divide.
Yet, experts say we can save ourselves from the feelings of helplessness that ageing — especially premature ageing — foist on us. They contend that dietary habits can either delay or speed up the ageing process, depending on what you take into your mouth.

Shocking: Confession Of A DPO About What Goes On In Nigerian Police Stations
For whoever wants to know why inefficiency is the lot of the Nigeria Police, the starting point may be to closely watch the state of things at police stations across the country.
Apart from the poor physical state of many of them, they are largely run on charity.Investigations shows that some of the police stations in Nigeria get as low as N35,000 as allocation from the force headquarters per quarter.
This is the reason why in all the states of the federation, many police stations rely on philanthropic gestures from members of their host communities and proceeds of bribery to function effectively. And that is why inscriptions such as ‘Donated by Welders Association’, ‘Community Development Association’ are constant features on many items and facilities found in many police stations in the country.

Woman Caught Hiring 'Hit Man' To Kill Husband || FULL VIDEO
Julia Merfeld, Mother, Asked Hit Man To Kill Husband Because It's 'Easier Than Divorcing Him' (VIDEO)
Unbeknownst to her, Julia Merfeld was being filmed while she matter-of-factly discussed murdering her husband with an undercover cop posing as a hit man.
How much? The 21-year-old Muskegon, Mich. woman offered $50,000 of her husband Jacob Merfeld's $400,000 life insurance policy to the supposed hit man, paid out over several weeks. When and how? Merfield was full of ideas. It could potentially look like a robbery, she suggested, should be painless (if possible) and must occur on one of two days when Merfeld would be working. She asked the fake hit man to "surprise her."
"The more shocked I am when it happens, the better," she said. And if at all possible, she requested, could he get the 27-year-old target outside before killing him? "Because it would be messy in the house," she explained.
