A photo of the three-time New Patriotic Party presidential nominee sipping Kalyppo, a popular drinks among kid, surfaced on social media earlier this week causing some Ghanaians, particularly supporters of the NPP to take photos of themselves mimicking the unique act. Since Thursday, the craze that has become a free promotion for manufacturers of the drink, has culminated in a #KalyppoChallenge…

Unfortunately, rising food prices lead people to think that it is hard to eat healthy if you are on a tight budget. You really can’t put a price on good health, but eating healthy does not mean you need to spend a fortune. Regardless of whether you are living alone or raising a family, enjoying healthy foods on the cheap is possible.   The key factor here is revising your shopping habits to limit unnecessary spending and make smart choices on healthier options.

Human life spans may be limited to a maximum of about 115 years, claim US scientists. Their conclusions, published in the journal Nature, were made by analysing decades of data on human longevity. They said a rare few may live longer, but the odds were so poor you’d have to scour 10,000 planet Earths to find just one 125-year-old. But while some scientists have praised the study, others have labelled it a dismal travesty. Life expectancy has been increasing relentlessly since the nineteenth century – due to vaccines, safer childbirth and tackling killers like cancer and heart disease. But can…

A leading Nigerian actress, who was banned from the Hausa-language film industry because of her “immoral” behaviour, has apologised. Rahama Sadau’s appearance in a music video “hugging and cuddling” Nigerian pop star Classiq offended some people. Ms Sadau said sorry to those she upset, but said her actions were “innocuous”. Hausa films are popular in the mostly Muslim northern Nigeria where it is taboo for men and women to hold hands in public. The industry, commonly known as Kannywood, has been under fire from conservative Muslim clerics who accuse it of corrupting people’s values. The Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of…

Stuffing that Sunday roast chicken with 40 cloves of garlic seemed like a great idea at the time but not so much come Monday morning, when you’re chain-chewing gum and doing the cupping-your-mouth breath test at your desk.   But now, you can brave a garlic mushroom starter on the first date and have spaghetti vongole for mains because scientists at Ohio State University have found a cure for your stinky, please-don’t-go-in-for-a-snog breath. Unsurprisingly, researchers found that chewing on mint leaves was a top garlic breath deodoriser, but the results also showed that raw apple and raw lettuce were just as…
