Read more captivating stories on Facebook and Twitter Cristiano Ronaldo was named man of the match after scoring two goals and becoming the first player to score in three finals. The win was Real's 12th European Cup - five more than any other side. They have also become the first team to defend the title since the competition was revamped in 1992.

Heineken released a new ad targeting social awareness issues that puts Pepsi's Kendall Jenner "protest" ad to shame. The ad, titled "World's Apart," pairs people who hold opposing views on hot-button social issues like feminism, climate change, and transgender rights. The pairs, who aren't privy to each other's views initially, go through a bonding activity before the big reveal. Participants are then given a choice to chat about their viewpoints over Heineken beers, or to walk away. All of them choose to stay and engage with each other. The ad was posted on YouTube April 20, and had more than three million views as of Thursday night. Reaction to the Heineken ad was far different from that of Pepsi's Kendall Jenner ad, which was pulled a day after its release . Watch the full ad below: NEXT POST:   Meet the current world oldest person

F orbes’ second annual definitive tally of America’s wealthiest, most successful self-made women includes 60 trailblazers – 10 more than last year – who have crashed ceilings through invention and innovation. These women, who are worth a combined $53 billion, have created some of the nation’s best known brands, such as Gap, Spanx, Proactiv and Vera Bradley. A number of them have also helped build some of the most successful companies in tech,  including Facebook, eBay and Google, while still others got rich entertaining millions through their music, books or TV shows. The richest self-made woman in America is  Diane Hendricks , who owns ABC Supply, the largest wholesale distributor of roofing and siding in the country. The daughter of dairy farmers, she started the Wisconsin business in 1982 with her late husband Ken. Today Hendricks is worth $4.9 billion, $1.2 billion more than last year when she came in second. That jump also gives her bragging rights as th...

What Happens When You Miss The Sunrise? Wait Another Day? In the words of Chika Gwen, ' never go late to anywhere in the world' _____________________________ 1 month before I travel, I am already packing I am already weighing my bags, I have booked hotel, airline tickets, health insurance, my passport is renewed even before I have a plan to travel. All this last minute something is not me. When I am in Lagos, I like to leave hours before my scheduled ANYTHING. I don't care if there is never traffic at that time, I don't care if the venue will be closed, if I arrive early. You don't understand. If I ever fail, it will never be because I did not do my best _____________________________ Every time I have flown by myself, I have arrived at least 6 hours before my flight. Yes o, I will sit at the airport, uncomfortable seats, but if I miss my flight it will not be because I was late. Every time I have flown with others, I have lie...

　 cold people One of the first things I noticed about Lagos was the cold - not the harmattan or the rains, but cold people. You might not notice it if you've been here all your life. However, I lived in Ibusa, Asaba, Ogbomosho, Port Harcourt and Benin City before coming here and the difference in emotional climates was interesting to note. People are always busy, brusque and on the move. Always frowning because smiles are somehow deemed a weakness. If you smiled too much, those mainland 4 ... 19 boys and pickpockets would see you as an easy target, and so everyone walks around with their bulletproof armour. More noteworthy (especially among the upper middle class) is how people tried to use other people as ladders so they could discard them as soon as they'd gotten to the next 'helper'. The consequence of this culture is the pervasive unhappiness that no one talks about. Behind the pretty makeup, wigs, designer bags and business suits, people have lay...

There’s one aspect of growing older that does not age like a fine wine: Hangovers . If you’ve ever been on the wrong side of a long night out after, say, age 29, you don’t need to be told. You feel both baffled about and nostalgic for a time, just a few years ago, when you could have one too many and wake up early, bright eyed and ready for spin class. What gives?  While the science of the phenomenon ― and how to make it better ― is still difficult for researchers to pin down , experts have some theories as to why your body just can’t handle sharing a pitcher of margaritas anymore: Theory 1: Your have fewer liver enzymes. Let’s start: Alcohol is a toxicant, so when you drink it, your body has to break down and shed the toxic compound of ethanol . Enzymes in your liver are responsible for this process, turning the adult beverage you’ve consumed into a compound called acetaldehyde . An enzyme ― called aldehyde dehydrogenase ― is responsible for morph...

On This Day 2nd March,2017 I started my volunteering journey. I taught (Compound Shapes/Perimeters) to over 50 Primary 5 students at the ( Ikota Primary School). I believe you don't have to have all the money in the world to touch lives. Only through A Service To Many shall greatness be achieved. Remember every effort counts. Christopher Ahonsi
