#Humanity Lee Redmond holds the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails ever on a woman, but they were ripped from her hands in a horrific accident. Lee Redmond hasn't cut her fingernails since 1979. She dips them in warm olive oil every day and uses a bottle after bottle of strengthening and polish to keep them in top condition. At their longest, her nails on both hands measured a staggering 8.65m in total - earning her the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails on a pair of hands (female). She said: "It was just a challenge to myself to see how far they would go before they started twisting out of shape. "I kept setting dates and dates that I was going to cut them and I just couldn't do it. "It's strange how they become part of you. "I think my fingernails defined me to a lot of people, I was known as the fingernail lady but to me, I would have to explain to them there really is more to me." She told a witness at the scenes th...

#Lifestyle In the streets of Lagos, a lot of funny things do happen day-in, day-out. Among the funny things that I ever witnessed myself this morning, is when a bus conductor removed his clothes inside a moving vehicle to engage in a fight with a passenger at along Ikorodu –Oshodi road. I must say that what I saw today was really a show of shame. This incident happened this early morning when I was going to my working place. As I was standing patiently waiting for a bus at our junction; Oduntan Street. An 18 sitters-bus with inscription Federal Mass Transit Bus on its body, with registration number XY 249 KTU was heading towards Oshodi was about to pass. I had to beckon on the driver to stop. The driver applied the brake and the bus came to halt. I jumped inside the bus, I sat down and drivers revved up. On the way, the bus conductor was shouting “...Osho…Osho…Osho”. With his menacing, loud, and an esoteric voice like that of street urchins known as (Area boy...

I say this because of the way some of them will respond to a certain question like in the title of this post above – what is your name? Sometimes ago, I was watching a programme tagged ‘the Gavel’ on Channel Television, while I was lying down in the bed. In the programme, Channel Television was showing all the records of the proceedings in the National Assembly.  At the hallowed chamber, any legislature member who wants to take make a presentation on the floor of the house must, first of all, in...
