TO HELL

As soon as Biola clocked thirty, the pressure on her to get married reached fever pitch. She was an extremely hardworking TV personality with the leading entertainment channel in Nigeria. She had over N50 million in her account and ten plots of land. She drove her own Sedan and rented her own house in an upscale part of Abuja. In her view, she had everything and that was why she was constantly tired of the prodding urging her to 'settle down', 'start a family', and to 'become responsible'. She couldn't go anywhere without people reminding her that she was 'advancing in age' and should be worried about 'what people will say.' Though she had lived almost her entire life in Ibadan, she didn't hesitate to move to Abuja when work opportunity came. In her view, she had freedom, blissful freedom. Or so she thought.

Her aunt - Aunty Folake -  called her once a week to remind her that she needed to get married. She laughed and usually responded by telling her that she would.

'Biola mi, you are thirty. Time will not wait for you oh! Your mother might not be worried but the rest of the family is. Ha ahn! When will you have children? Do you want to be old before you give birth? As a nurse who has worked for 25 years, I can categorically tell you that pregnancies of women advanced in age are usually trouble pregnancies and the risk factors for the child are high oh! Is that what you want? Ehn?!' To which Biola would always respond, 'Aunty mi, I will get married soon. Don't worry' after which she would look for the slightest excuse to end the call.

She was surprised at her Aunty Folake's insistence that she marry. Her aunt had been married twice before deciding to settle down with her current husband. She still got angry when she talked about her ex-husbands, especially husband number one. He had deceived her into thinking he was

HEALTHY EATING

Despite what you see in some diet books and TV programmes, healthy eating can be really straightforward.

A diet based on starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, rice and pasta; with plenty of fruit and vegetables; some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish and lentils; some milk and dairy foods; and not too much fat, salt or sugar, will give you all the nutrients you need.

When it comes to a healthy diet, balance is the key to getting it right. This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions, and consuming the right amount of food and drink to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.

Most adults in England are overweight or obese. That means many of us are eating more than we need, and should eat less. And it's not just food: some drinks can also be high in calories. Most adults need to eat and drink fewer calories in order to lose weight, even if they already eat a balanced diet.

Food groups in our diet

The eatwell plate shows that to have a healthy, balanced diet, people should try to eat:

plenty of fruit and vegetables

plenty of starchy foods, such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta

some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein

some milk and dairy foods

just a small amount of food and drinks that are high in fat and/or sugar

Try to choose a variety of different foods from the four main food groups.

Most people in the UK eat and drink too many calories, too much fat,

Miley Cyrus 'Save The Wolves Campaign '

Just like the Lorax before her, Miley Cyrus is here to speak for the wolves. She has a simple message: please stop slaughtering them.

Cyrus traveled to British Columbia, Canada, this past weekend to visit the Great Bear Rainforest as a guest of the preservation society Pacific Wild.

The wolf cull is an old tradition in which they are hunted in order to protect caribou, for whom wolves are a natural predator. However, unlike deer, wolf meat is not used for food and most of the animal's carcas goes to waste. It's estimated that 15 percent of Canada's wolf population is slaughtered annually; many preservation groups consider the practice barbaric.

"When I first spoke out, I knew in my heart that the wolf cull was wrong," Cyrus said in a post on Pacific Wild's website. "But after this visit, I know science is on my side, not just on the wolf cull, but also on the trophy hunt issue. Both are unsustainable and both are horrific. Both have to end."

The 22-year-old has added preservation to her list of pet projects, on which she is killing
