Twitter update.. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome becomes highest followed Nigerian on twitter
Here is something I thought I should share. Pastor Chris Oyakilome - (know him?) - is a Nigerian and one of the greatest preachers out of the West African Country that has produced many. He is the President of Believers' Loveworld Inc. aka Christ Embassy Int'l. Pastor, teacher, healing minister, TV host and bestselling author. Well in a nutshell, he has recorded another feat by emerging as the single highest followed Nigerian on twitter (everybody and their mama's number 1 social networking site) with a record 2,263,528 followers and still counting. Guess they put in some work there hehe, but all the same it goes to show the popularity and followership of the man of God. Ok. let's I forget, here is his twitter page and I hear he prays and shares the scriptures with his followers: click here to be directed.....

For the records... Unemployed Law School Student Pens Letter to Dean Asking for His Tuition Money Back
A Boston College law student unhappy with his job prospects has made the prestigious university an offer: return his money and he'll forfeit his degree.
The proposition was made in an open letter written by the student anonymously, identified only as a third-year law school student, and posted last week on the law school's independent student-run website, Eagleionline.
The letter, addressed to the school's Interim Dean George Brown, explains how the student is unable to support his wife and the baby they're expecting and is in "an enormous amount of debt" from his time at Boston College.
"With fatherhood impending, I go to bed every night terrified of the thought of trying to provide for my child AND paying off my J.D, and resentful at the thought that I was convinced to go to law school by empty promises of a fulfilling and remunerative career," the student, who says he's set to graduate in 2011, writes.
*Unusual right? lol*

What can we say??? Oral Sex Linked to Rise in Men's Throat Cancer
For years now, doctors have urged young women to be vaccinated against the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is believed to cause cervical cancer.
But now, growing research in Europe and the United States is implicating HPV in a rising number of cases of head and neck cancers in men, and many doctors are recommending that all boys be vaccinated as well.
Doctors say that changing sexual behaviors -- earlier sex, more partners and especially oral sex -- are contributing to a new epidemic of orpharyngeal squamous cell cancers, those of the throat, tonsils and base of the tongue.
These cancers can be deadly, and are striking men at a younger age and in increasing numbers.
"There's a lag in information," said Dr. John Deeken, a medical oncologist at Georgetown University. "We physicians have done a poor job of advertising the fact that boys and girls should have the vaccine."
"This kind of cancer traditionally affects males who have been smoking and drinking all their life, and now in their mid-60s they are getting head and neck cancer," he said. "However, HPV cancer we are seeing in younger patients who have never smoked."
What can we say? Ha

Nelson Mandela "worried" about being a living icon
The public persona of Nelson Mandela is internationally known – activist, president, political icon.
But in his latest book, "Conversations with Myself," a new unprecedented, intimate picture emerges of the 92-year-old man who endured isolation in prison, heart-breaking divorce, and personal loss while balancing the demands of loving both his family and his political work.
South African archivist Verne Harris was allowed wide access to Mandela's personal notes, journal entries, letters and manuscripts – written over decades -- to compile "Conversations with Myself."
"The private Nelson Mandela is one we can all relate to," Harris said. "He's taken the stuff life has given him and he's worked with it, in ways that are often very simple."
Harris recently sat down with ABC News to discuss the new pictures of the leader that emerge from his latest work.
