My Plantain Clusters recipe is inspired by an old favourite in Nigeria...Dodo Oniyeri (loosely translated as fried plantains with trimmings?!). It is basically diced ripe plantains fried in hot oil with some added bits like meat or fish pieces, onions and mixed peppers etc. I find them so versatile and do well served on their own or served to complement other dishes. They are also a good source of natural sugars potassium, vitamin A, and slow release energy. Many children I know tend to love fried plantains so today's recipe will be fun to serve at home and even children's parties perhaps instead of chips for a change. With some spicy dipping sauce, plantain clusters are also ideal to serve as starters/canapés. What you need .Some ripe plantains .1 very ripe plantain (this will help to hold the clusters together when cooked so no need to use eggs or flour to bind) .Pinch of ginger powder .Pinch of onion powered Pinch of salt (optional - I actual

"I was shot on my left leg, while I was sleeping. When I woke up, I could not walk and was later taken to the girls hostel where the insurgents gathered us with the female students. They selected some of the female students and went away with them, while they left some of us groaning in pain from gun shot". Those were the words of 14-year-old Ibrahim Musa Lampo, a JSS 2 student of Federal Government College, FGC, Bunu Yadi, Yobe State who was one of the lucky survivors of the Boko Haram massacre on Tuesday, which claimed the lives of 43 students. The insurgents also burnt the hostels, classrooms and more than 40 houses during the attack.

His mother, Hajiya Hauwa Lampo, who was sitting beside him on the hospital bed lamented the inability of government to protect the lives of the innocent students. The mother pas

Plus, Tyler and Caroline went from awkward silence to awkward anger. Does Tyler realize he dumped her before she hooked up with Klaus? Will Elena (Nina Dobrev) ever return to The Vampire Diaries? Well, not on the Feb. 27 episode. Instead, Katherine-pretending-to-be-Elena (who I've named Kathena) headed on a road trip with Stefan ( Paul Wesley) to get closer to him and to try and force him to kill Damon (Ian Somerhalder). For a minute, we were a little worried that Katherine's plan was going to work. She engaged in a hot make out session with Stefan but being the good brother he is, he stopped the wicked activity from taking place. Yes, we were disappointed, but he was too focused on saving his ripper-turned brother. I've got to say, even though I'm totally Team steflena, I had a total soft spot for Stefan when he told Kathena he understood Damon's pain by saying, "You don't know what it's like being in love with you. " Then I remembered that the &

You've probably heard about the benefits of exercising during pregnancy: better sleep, more strength and endurance, and a lighter mood. It's great for you to take walks or swim, for instance. But some exercises are not a good idea when you're pregnant. Knowing the difference can help keep you and your growing baby safe. Exercises to Avoid If you were exercising before you became pregnant, ask your doctor or midwife if it's safe to keep the same routine. Here are some activities to stay away from: Exercise to lose weight. Depending on your pre-pregnancy weight, you can expect to gain about 25-35 pounds. This can be hard to take, emotionally and physically, but save the calorie burning for after you give birth.

Rough-and-tumble sports like soccer, basketball, and ice hockey come with a high risk of getting knocked in th

Cancer that forms in tissues of the breast. The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, which begins in the lining of the milk ducts (thin tubes that carry milk from the lobules of the breast to the nipple). Another type of breast cancer is lobular carcinoma, which begins in the lobules (milk glands) of the breast. Invasive breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread from where it began in the breast ducts or lobules to surrounding normal tissue. Breast cancer occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. What Are the Symptoms of Breast Cancer? *In its early stages, breast cancer usually has no symptoms. As a tumor develops, you may note the following signs: *A lump in the breast or underarm that persists after your menstrual cycle. This is often the first apparent symptom of breast cancer.

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton couldn't make it work in the end. The onetime teenage sweethearts have separated after nearly nine years of marriage, Thicke's rep confirmed They have a son together, 3 1/2- year-old Julian. "We will always love each other and be best friends; however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the pair said in a joint statement. Their last public appearance together was just weeks ago at the Grammy Awards, where Thicke performed and Patton attracted all sorts of attention for her dramatic zebra-striped dress. While the spouses' tendency to gush profusely about each other has held rumors of trouble on the homefront at bay, reports of possible strife-causing activity on Thicke's part have shadowed the couple for some time. "I don't know if I would still be alive in some ways if it wasn't for Paula," Thicke said in the September issue of Prestige magazine. "She's been my rock, my muse, my i

A strict warning has been sent to those fueling crisis in the country on account of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's bid to contest for a second term in 2015 to desist from troubling the current administration or stand a risk of losing their oil blocks. This warning was sent by a former militant leader in Niger-Delta, popularly called General Preye Ekpebide. Vanguard reports: Speaking in Bomadi, Delta State, Ekpebide warned that even though former warlords have embraced the amnesty programme, it was no guarantee that they would watch and stay aloof, if Jonathan was not treated fairly as demanded by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He said "since this was the first time a South-South person is occupying the number one position in the country, the principle of equity and fairness demands that every Nigerian, wherever they may come from, have equal rights and privileges. "The peaceful disposition of the South-South region should not be t

A 23-year-old woman with a condition causing excessive hair development has revealed that growing a beard makes her feel more feminine. Harnaam Kaur, of Slough, Berkshire, suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome – and a beard first started to appear on her face aged just 11. The hair quickly spread to her chest and arms, and the condition made her the victim of taunts at school and on the street. She even received death threats from strangers over the internet. But Miss Kaur has now decided to stop cutting her hair after being baptised as a Sikh – a religion in which cutting body hair is forbidden. She said: 'I would never ever go back now and remove my facial hair because it's the way God made me and I'm happy with the way I am. 'I feel more feminine, more sexy and I think I look it too. I've learned to love myself for who I am nothing can shake me now.' During her early teens, Miss Kaur was so ashamed of her beard that she waxed twice a week, and also tried bl
