Ladies, here are reasons why sleeping with a bra is NOT bad for your health

Consider this scenario: After work,you hit up happy hour with your friends, and you end up getting home way later than you planned. Like,way later. You're so damn tired that you skip brushing your teeth(oops),taking off your makeup (noooo!),and even removing your bra, before passing out in bed. Hey, it happens. But could the decision to forego freeing your
boobs be harmful to your health?
There's lots of info floating around the interwebs debating whether or not it's safe to go braless during bedtime—but experts say there is absolutely no research to support claims that wearing a bra 24/7 is bad for you. "There's just no evidence that any type of bra, or a tight-fitting bra, is harmful in any way," says Holly Pederson, M.D., director of medical breast services at the Cleveland Clinic.

One of the most common myths is that there's a link between wearing a bra at night and an increased risk of breast cancer. Like we said, there's nothing to back that up. In fact, a 2014 case study done at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle found that no aspect of bra-wearing (including cup size, frequency of wear, the underwire, or the age you started wearing one) had any link to breast cancer.

So, now that we've gotten that out of the way, are there any health benefits to wearing a bra while you sleep? Some women believe that wearing a bra day and night will maintain perkiness and a round
shape. Pederson says that as our breast tissue is replaced by fat (which is softer) as we age, our boobs naturally become a bit droopy. Plus, not even the best bra can prevent gravity's pull.

The bottom line: If you feel OK without a bra on at night, then let those girls be free. If you have a larger chest and feel more comfortable with your boobs secured in place, then that's also OK. Usually, a soft, cotton bra will leave fewer
lines than a wired push-up, so opt for
something that will help you relax during sleep, and know your lovely lady lumps are safe either way.

NIGERIA'S BREAKUP IS NOT AN OPTION-DAVID MARK

N igerians must move on together as a breakup is not an option, former Senate President, David Mark, said on Friday. “Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles. We cannot reverse ourselves,” Mr. Mark told Kaduna State Acting Governor,  Alhaji Aminu Shagali, in Kaduna. He was at the head of a delegation of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the acting governor. “The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united,” he was further quoted as saying by his media aide, Paul Mumeh.   “We may have our disagreements. But a breakup is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation." “There is no use heating up the polity,” the ex-Senate president added. He noted that no matter the imperfections, the nation is greater and better as an indivisible country.

EMIR OF KASTINA TELLS PRESIDENT BUHARI TO SIGN PEACE CORPS BILL

The Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, has declared support for the Peace Corps bill passed by the National Assembly. The bill, which seeks to turn the Peace Corps, a non-government organisation, into a government paramilitary agency, has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians. Proponents see it as an avenue to create jobs for thousands of youth while critics describe as a duplication of functions already being performed by existing agencies and creation of another bureaucracy at a time the country is finding it difficult to pay workers' salaries. The bill was opposed by existing military and security institutions in Nigeria and the Peace Corps leader Dickson Akoh is currently being prosecuted for alleged fraud. Apart from lawmakers, the bill is also supported by some prominent Nigerians including the Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, who also asked Mr. Buhari to sign to it. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Katsina emir made a similar call on the president on Thursda
