Ahead of the 2017 general election in the East African nation of Kenya, one woman who has continued to make a buzz is Kingwa Kamenchu who lost to incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta during the last year's Presidential election.

As the country looks forward to another election in a couple of years, the outspoken lady and Oxford alumni who once revealed that doesn't wear panties and is addicted to masturbation has done a more shocking and weird act unbecoming of an aspiring leader.

Kingwa recently posed and posted her unclad images on social media to the chagrin of many...
Kingwa Kamenchu for President...chai!!!

She's been sleeping on a bed of stone
By a window where no light goes
She wakes to the row of the traffic rumbling outside
Then she remembers her dream and smiles
Yeah she smiles
On her dress she irons the folds
Same way mama told
Her brothers and sisters
All the way home
And proud of the way she fights
Hardship alone

[Chorus]
Some hope that they'll let go
Some hope that they don't know
Which way will the wind blow
What will tomorrow bring
What will tomorrow bring

On her feet from dawn to night
Working jobs others don't like
Sometimes she wonders if they know that she's there
The way that they talk to her
Look through her stay here
Almost all the money she has
She saves for the day she returns
She goes through leftovers
When the market is closed
Without caper she knows the police
Will send her back home
[Chorus]

Which side of the road will you land on
What end of the card will you pass down
Nobody knows there's no right way
Nobody knows there's no wrong way
Aha ha ha
Haaha ha
Ibi aye yi n gbe mi lo mi o mo‎
(Where life's taking me, I don't know)
On yi lo o on yi lo o‎
(It's going on and on)

[Chorus]

A population-based case-control study found no association between bra wearing and increased breast cancer risk among post-menopausal women, according to research published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

"There have been some concerns that one of the reasons why breast cancer may be more common in developed countries compared with developing countries is differences in bra-wearing patterns," said Lu Chen, MPH, a researcher in the Public Health Sciences Division at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre and a doctoral student in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Washington School of Public Health. "Given how common bra wearing is, we thought this was an important question to address.
"Our study found no evidence that wearing a bra increases a woman's risk for breast cancer. The risk was similar no matter how many hours per day women wore a bra, whether they wore a bra with an underwire, or at what age they first began wearing a bra," said Chen.

Myths vs. facts
"There has been some suggestion in the lay media that bra wearing may be a risk factor for breast cancer. Some have hypothesized that drainage of waste products in and around the breast may be hampered by bra wearing. Given very limited biological evidence supporting such a link between bra wearing and breast cancer risk, our results were not surprising," Chen added.
According to the study authors, this study characterizes various bra-wearing habits in relation to breast cancer risk using a rigorous epidemiological study design. "The findings provide reassurance to women that wearing a bra does not appear to increase the risk for the most common histological types of post-menopausal breast cancer," the authors noted.
Study participants were 454 women with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and 590 women with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), the two most common subtypes of breast cancer, from the Seattle-Puget Sound metropolitan area; 469 women who did not have breast cancer served as controls. All women were post-menopausal, ages 55 to 74.
The researchers conducted in-person interviews and obtained information on demographics, family history, and reproductive history. They also asked a series of structured questions to assess lifetime patterns of bra wearing. Questions included age at which the study participant started wearing a bra, whether she wore a bra with an underwire, her bra cup size and band size, the number of hours per day and number of days per week she wore a bra, and if her bra-wearing patterns ever changed at different times in her life.
No aspect of wearing a bra was associated with an increased risk for either IDC or ILC.

The first of Ford's new-generation 2015 F-150 pickup truck drove off the assembly line of the company's Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan and the company's barrage of pre-launch marketing to promote the benefits of the all-new pickup's aluminum body apparently has taken hold: Ford claims 250,000 potential buyers in just the last month configured and priced their own version of the truck.

The 2015 F-150 is scheduled to roll into Ford dealer showrooms in December, and President and CEO Mark Fields said at a ceremony for the start of production that the number of configurations for the 2015 F-150 at Ford's Web site set an all-time record. The new-generation F-150, to be built at Ford's historic Rouge assembly site, will leverage its weight-chopping aluminum body to enable towing up to 1,100 pounds more than the current F-150, as well as increase maximum payload by up to 530 pounds.

But the most critical piece of the puzzle (how much the 2015 F-150's drastic weight loss will improve fuel economy) will have to wait until later this month, when Ford plans to reveal the new F-150's official Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy ratings.

For now, Ford is saying only that fuel efficiency for the aluminum-bodied full-size pickup is expected to boost fuel economy at least 5 percent and potentially as much as 20 percent. Although the change to aluminum bodywork may be a wild card for many consumers, the prospective marked improvement in fuel economy should ensure the 2015 F-Series pickup remains the nation's single best-selling vehicle line, a record it's held for the past 32 years.

Ford already has detailed pricing for the 2015 F-150, which at the entry point of $26,615 marks a $395 increase over the 2014 F-150, with the price hike moving to as much as $3,055 for the line-topping F-150 Platinum.

BlackBox Nigeria Autos (BBNA) has begun its trail on its availability for the Nigeria Auto Market, Coscharis Motors and Briscoe Ford are authorized Ford cars dealers in Nigeria.

Team Tinubu, the camp of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was compelled by some former Nigerian leaders and Northern Islamic leaders to drop its support for the 2015 presidential aspiration of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

Reflective of the pressure which also came from some close associates of Asiwaju Tinubu, the political group has switched support towards the presidential aspiration of Speaker Aminu Tambuwal who with his entry this week, immediately turned into a major contender for the ticket.
He has Buhari and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as the main challengers for the party's presidential ticket with Governor Rabiu Kwankwanso of Kano State and newspaper publisher, Sam Nda-Isaiah also contending.
Several other factors were taken into consideration by the Tinubu camp in switching support, close associates of the political leader disclosed to Saturday Vanguard. Among the other factors was the alleged overbearing influence of some close associates of Gen. Buhari, who they claimed were likely to fence out other political stakeholders in a possible Buhari presidency.
Three former heads of state, two from the north and one from the south and a very influential retired army chief from the northeast who has also held political appointments in the present dispensation were among those cited by sources as having prevailed on the Tinubu camp to drop support for Buhari.

The decision of the Tinubu camp to drop support for Buhari, it was learnt, also followed reservations from some sections of the north notably, some Islamic leaders.
"It is not that we dumped Buhari, the Islamic clerics, the imams and the political leaders in the north particularly three former heads of state said that they don't want the man," the source said.
President Olusegun Obasanjo and a former military president Gen. Ibrahim Babangida met penultimate Tuesday following the latter's return from a medical trip abroad. The two men met for 30 minutes behind closed doors.
However, Gen Baban-gida had in the past been publicly quoted as urging Speaker Tambuwal to aspire for a higher office. Speaking at the presentation of the Vanguard Personality of the Year award to Governor Chibuke Amaechi of Rivers State in Lagos on April 6, 2013, the former military president said:
"When leaders like Tambuwal delivered on their electoral promise, we advise them to try something higher. For Tambuwal, your guess is as good as mine. Well done." Babangida's remark was applauded. .
The influence of some present and past minders of Gen. Buhari was also another reason taken into consideration, a source disclosed.
"There is this perception about Buhari that he is surrounding himself with some people like Nasir El-Rufai, Buba Galadima, Sule Hamman" the source said, reawakening complaints about the overbearing attitude of Buhari's now dissolved political machine, The Buhari Organisation, TBO which had in the past been accused of selectively fencing out people.
The Tinubu associates also feared that the perceptions of religious extremism which the ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP had sought to tag on Buhari could deny the party votes in the South were he to emerge as candidate.
Though many of the Tinubu associates do not regard him as an extremist, but the perception already created, it was learned, could be injurious to their political outing. There were also concerns that Buhari could be detached from responsibility and reference was made to his past roles as head of state and chairman of the Petroleum (Special) Task Force, PTF where his subordinates usurped authority in his name.
"When he was head of state most of the power was delegated to Idiagbon and when he was at PTF, it was another person, that took charge and that if APC says they are looking for change that Tambuwal represents that change," an associate of Tinubu revealed.
Another factor that was taken into consideration which was projected by some associates of the APC national leader, Saturday Vanguard learned was the prospect of Buhari turning on Tinubu and others once he is invested with power.
"There are also fears in Asuwaju's camp that the man may destroy Asiwaju and may come back to hurt him and some of Asiwaju's loyalists warned him," the source revealed.
The matter of General Buhari's age also came into consideration in the final consideration to drop support for the former head of state as it was reasoned that 70 to 80% of voters fall between the age of 18 to 40+ and most of them don't know Buhari.

Political associates were also disturbed that inputs made by party leaders into the general's speech at his declaration at the Eagle Square last month were discarded raising apprehension that the general in office could reject advice. Some were also understood to have raised the fact that the former head of state also did not have enough money for the race ahead.
The factors inevitably helped to shift attention towards Tambuwal who was earlier aligning himself towards the Sokoto State governorship contest.
Support for Tambuwal's aspiration is also being boosted by permutations that his sterling leadership of the House of Representatives where he has the committed support of more than half of the members had put him in pole position in more than half of the federal constituencies in the country.

The decision of the Tinubu camp to change attention from Buhari and Tambuwal's entry into the contest was welcomed by associates of Atiku Abubakar who see it as an opportunity for them to move in to harvest support from the influential Southwest caucus that is firmly controlled by Tinubu.
The Buhari camp was yesterday adjusting itself not to be in panic mood as it welcomed Tambuwal into the race. Osita Okechukwu, a strong loyalist of Buhari in a statement made available to Saturday Vanguard said the development would not cut off the celestial bond between Buhari and the more than 12 million followers behind him around the country.

He said: "The entry of Rt.Hon. Aminu Tambuwal is a welcome development, the more the presidential aspirants or any aspirant to governor, Senate, national or state assemblies the merrier."
"Our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be the greatest beneficiary, as the mobilization of the electorate will be wider, penetrating and robust."
"Therefore, Hon Tambuwal is highly welcome into the presidential race. This is why the constitution of our party was amended penultimate week, to accommodate in less than one hour, any person who joins APC."
"On his chances, one cannot hazard a guess, as Tambuwal unlike Buhari or Atiku had never contested nationwide election. He only contested in a federal constituency and had never tested his popularity in Kano, Akure or Enugu."
All one knows is that his entry will neither diminish nor cut-off the celestial bond between GMB and the masses and the middle class of our dear country. The masses and middle class had renewed at every election GMB's 12million Vote Bank, therefore the contest at the end of the day is between President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and GMB."

Nigeria's air force on Friday said it had lost another helicopter in the restive northeast, after Boko Haram rebels raided two more towns and vigilantes and hunters clawed back a key militant stronghold.

The second crash in a week happened late  Thursday in Yola, the capital of Adamawa, which is one of three states that has been under emergency rule since May last year.
