Football legend Diego Maradona was a 'beast' on the football field, but who would have thought the former Barcelona, Napoli and Argentina player/coach was also a 'beast' in bed? Well so says his ex-partner and mother of his child, Veronica Ojeda.
Maradona, Argentina's greatest football player of all time has a son, Diego Fernando, with Ojeda. Ojeda has now revealed that Maradona, who she had an 8 year relationship with, was so good in bed that she didn't have sex with any other man for two years after breaking up with him. “Diego was the best lover I had and he says the same thing about me,” Ojeda told an Argentine radio station.

Luv FM’s Erastus Asare Donkor who confirmed the incident on Asempa FM’s Ekosi Sen said personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service are at the scene fighting the fire.

Meanwhile, all roads leading to the area have been blocked.

By the time I’m done with this piece, you will understand what the tittle "I LOVE ME " means. Many people are bleaching or is bleaching just because they don't love their body image (how he or she is created). The term body image is the physical appearance of an individual that's how the person view him or herself and how people around him or her see him or her to be. 
Such as, as a fat person, slim, dark, fair etc. Some people look at a model magazine and be like let say, I wish I was like the model in the magazine while you are already in existence. When the desire for “I wish I was like a particular person” gets stronger, it causes you to add something to your body image. Either by the application of body lotion which sometimes change the rightful colour you were born with, applying creams to get big breast, buttocks and the using of these machines to get what we call ‘Coca Cola’ shape and many more to talk about. Not forgetting the almighty makeups.

A government programme for separate schools for pregnant students introduced two years ago in Sierra Leone is facing critical scrutiny.
Pregnant students were not allowed to sit in the same class in the West African country as their peers because they are seen as a bad influence.
In April 2015, schools in Sierra Leone reopened after a nine-month break owing to the Ebola crisis. However, "visibly pregnant" girls were banned from returning to school, for fear of negatively affecting "innocent girls", according to the education minister.
The government offered them the option of attending alternative schools with a reduced curriculum.
Now, Amnesty International, the UK-based rights organisation, says denying pregnant girls mainstream education is a violation of their human rights.
"I am the one who should decide whether to go to the alternative or the mainstream school," said 17-year-old Sarah Bassie, an alternative school student.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has criticised Russia, saying it had failed to prevent Syria from carrying out a chemical attack on a rebel-held town.
Russia had agreed to ensure Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles were destroyed - and its failure to do this enabled the attack, he said.
G7 foreign ministers are preparing to meet in Italy later on Monday.
Talks will focus on how to increase pressure on Russia to distance itself from Syria's President Bashar Al-Assad.
On Tuesday, Mr Tillerson will continue from the G7 to Moscow, where he will meet his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov.
Russia is the Syrian government's main ally, and helped facilitate a 2013 agreement to destroy Syria's chemical arsenal.
The suspected chemical attack on Khan Sheikhoun last Wednesday left 89 people dead.
In response, the US fired 59 missiles at a Syrian airbase on Friday.
Syria has denied using any chemical agents, and Russia says the US gave no evidence Syria has chemical weapons.
