Article written by Jennifer Ogoo Okolo. Enjoy... "The Fat girl ends up miserable year after year. The society has neglected the fuller woman. This has resulted to fat girls feeling depressed, left-out and downcast. The average big lady spends most of their years in solitude, angry at themselves, the society and even their shadow. Many are being laugh at, ridiculed, jilted, abused and sent back indoors where they are depressed and even get fatter. The society is such a big nightmare for this group of people which is saddening." Continue... When they go for shopping which is a very beautiful and fun experience for almost every lady. But for the fat girl, it’s a rather sober experience. In many cases, sizes are deceptive to the extent that a size 12 dress will be tagged size 18. She has to through every cloth in the store before she finds what fits her. Sometimes, she ends up not seeing any flattering outfit. Again, the sadness begins.

  Liberia’s already stretched health care system has been placed under more pressure as some nurses are said to have gone on strike. The nurses, who work at the John F Kennedy hospital in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, have embarked on the industrial action to demand protective equipment and better pay. A spokesperson for the health workers, John Tugbeh said: "From the beginning of the Ebola outbreak we have not had any protective equipment to work with. As result, so many doctors got infected by the virus. We have to stay home until we get the PPEs," "We need proper equipment to work with [and] we need better pay because we are going to risk our lives." Liberia has been one of the worst hit by the disease which has spread across 6 countries in West Africa.

  1: Don't Slouch Slouching is one of the easiest ways to damage your back. In fact, little things like leaning forward for a prolonged amount of time or stooping over a sink to brush your teeth may increase pressure on your back by up to 50 per cent. The natural position of your back is straight and upright, so try your hardest to keep it that way. Good posture means that your head, shoulders, hips and feet are all aligned in a straight line, so make an effort to keep your back straight whenever possible. 2: Stay Active You may be tempted to stay in bed when your back is hurting, but studies show that activity is a better choice. Even a 20-minute stroll around the neighbourhood is enough to unlock your muscles and improve your circulation, and it also helps tone your shoulders, arms and back. 3: Use a Back Brace Do you spend most of your day in front of a computer screen? If so, you've probably found yourself leaning forward a bit too often. Back braces are excelle...

21 people have been killed in a ghastly car crash that occurred in central Ghana, local radio stations reported Monday. Three cars – a pickup, a Sprinter bus and a Glo branded vehicle - were involved in the deadly accident on Sunday. A bus driver attempted to overtake a vehicle and hit another bus near Asankare on the main highway linking the capital Accra with the second-largest city Kumasi. The third bus then crashed into the other two, but its passengers were not injured. The Ashanti Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department Commander, Peter Gyemah said 12 males and 8 females were among the casualties. It took rescuers several hours to remove the dead and the injured from the scene. Fifteen passengers died on the spot and the rest in hospital. More than 10 people were in critical condition, doctors said.

Boko Haram militants have overrun much of a northeastern Nigerian town after hours of fighting that left scores dead and forced thousands from their homes. The insurgents were initially pushed out after they launched an attack on the town of Bama, 70 km (45 miles) from the Borno state capital of Maiduguri, on Monday. They however, returned in greater numbers overnight, mounting a stronger assault on the town. Nigeria's defence spokesman was not immediately available for comment. Reuters news agency quoted sources as saying there were heavy casualties on both sides. One security source said as many as 5,000 people fled. Two months after Islamist militants in Iraq and Syria declared the area they seized an Islamic caliphate, Boko Haram has also for the first time explicitly laid claim to territory it says it controls in parts of northeast Nigeria. It captured the remote hilly farming town of Gwoza, along the Cameroon border, during fighting last month. The group...
