<h3>When your girls get tender and don't-touch-me sore, yes, its annoying, but its generally no cause for concern.</h3>

Here's a look at several common (read normal) reasons your girls may be screaming out, and how to give them some much-needed TLC.

<h3>1) Changes in hormones </h3>

The most common cause of breast pain is a change in hormones that comes along with your period.

This normal body response to shifts in estrogen typically manifests in swelling and tenderness on the day before your period begins and the first day of your flow, says Taraneh Shirazian, M.D, assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.

This type of boob soreness is called cyclic pain, since it's related to your menstrual cycle. The good news: It should go away when your period ends. Birth control pills can help, says Shirazian, since they prevent ovulation and keep estrogen levels stable. And if you'd rather the skip the OTC pain reliever, primrose oil supplements may also ease soreness, she says.

<h3>2) You engaged in intensive workouts</h3>

Maybe you did an impressive round of pushups or dove into a serious new weight-lifting routine. This may seem like breast pain, but the discomfort actually stems from the muscles underneath the breasts.

"There are the pectoral muscles there," explains Shirazian, and this set of muscles lying right under the breast tissue tightening and relaxing is actually the source of this tenderness. Get relief by applying heating pads and taking a pain reliever as directed, suggests Shirazian.

<h3>3) You pulled or carried something heavy</h3>

So maybe you haven't been hitting the gym harder, but were your lifting furniture or heavy bags that may have strained those pectoral muscles? If so, that soreness might actually be coming from the muscles underneath your breast tissue again, says Shirazian. You can treat it the same way you would above, with heat or OTC pain relievers.

<h3>4) Your bra doesn't fit properly</h3>

The wrong lingerie can have pretty serious consequences for your chest. If your bra is too tight or the cup is too small, the underwire may be pushing against your breast (All. Day. Long.), leading to sore&nbsp;boobs, says Shirazian.

And if you're not supported enough, all that up-down-and-all-around movement throughout the day can lead to breast tenderness. Use these tips to&nbsp;find a bra that fits.

<h3>5) Your sweat session lacks support</h3>

Especially if your breasts are larger, it's crucial to get the proper support when exercising to keep those babies from bouncing all around and pulling on the breast tissue, says Shirazian.

In fact, a recent study found that one in three marathon runners report breast pain. To remedy this,&nbsp;get fitted for a proper sports bra&nbsp;and make sure that nothing is digging in, spilling over, or not fitting perfectly when you jump around in the fitting room.

<h3>6) You have lumpy breasts</h3>

If you've been identified as a women with lumpy breast tissue (technically known as fibrocystic breast tissue), then you are probably well acquainted with breast tenderness linked to your menstrual cycle.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, this bumpy, uneven breast tissue is actually characterised by fluid-filled cysts, and it's not necessarily linked to breast cancer. However, they may be more sensitive to hormonal changes.

<h3>7) You're taking in too many lattes</h3>

While coffee and tea may not directly cause breast pain,&nbsp;some studies&nbsp;have shown that cutting out caffeine can help alleviate discomfort, especially for women with fibrocystic breast tissue. If your breasts feel particularly lumpy and you've got a three-cup-a-day habit, ask your doctor if you should consider cutting down.

In general, temporary breast soreness and sensitivity shouldn't raise any red flags, nor should it send you running to the doctor's office. It usually just lasts a few days then vanishes from thin air. In the unlikely event that the pain lingers around or gets worse, then it's time to see your physician.

Also, be in the habit of regularly giving your breasts the once-over to make sure there aren't any changes in appearance, texture, or tenderness. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, bring it up with your doctor.

When your girls get tender and don't-touch-me sore, yes, its annoying, but its generally no cause for concern.

Here are 7 reasons your boobs hurt

<h1>And this is due to the fact that the awesome content of essential oils it contains can make your beard go from just "there" to lovely and beautiful.</h1>

Be that as it may, it is important to note that what you need is a natural beard oil and not just any beard oil.

So, how do you know if it's natural or not?

Check the label: If you find "fragrance", or "fragrance oil" listed in the ingredients, that means the beard oil contains synthetic fragrance oils that are not natural and not healthy.

Here are five amazing benefits of using beard oil

<h3>1. It relieves itching and dry skin</h3>

Studies have shown that a good number of common oils used in the production of beard oil are anti-inflammatory in nature, and among them include jojoba oil and coconut oil.

This can relieve itching and dry skin, thanks to the moisturizing properties of these oils, and their ability to stimulate circulation to the surface of your face.

<h3>2. It promotes a good appearance</h3>

There's no arguing the fact that beards can be unattractive sometimes, especially when it is not properly cared for.

But with beard oil, your facial hair will not only look smooth and sleek, it will smell great, as well.

With this in mind, it is important to note that making use of natural beard oil can help prevent beard from smelling bad.

<h3>3. It helps to tackle inflammatory issues</h3>

It is true that a lot of men with beards suffer from inflammatory problems, such as psoriasis, eczema or rosacea.

And studies have shown that inflammatory issues do not only weaken your beard hair, they also cause hair loss, as well as flaking and dry skin beneath your facial locks.

Using beard oil like coconut oil and other natural beard oil will help eliminate this discomfort, thanks to various antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties in this oil.

Beauticians affirm that beard oil will make your beard more manageable, particularly if you want to style it in precise or fashionable ways.

Studies have shown that regular use of beard oil can prevent this common problem.

What are the possible effects of using beard oil

Although studies have shown that there are almost no side effects of using beard oil (especially the natural ones), allergic reactions from people with sensitive skin do occur.

Thus, it is advisable for you to ensure that you aren't allergic to any of the active ingredients contained in the oil.

And in other to be sure, apply a drop on a patch of skin on your arm, and wait for at least 12 hours to see if there is an allergic reaction.

<h1>Young Nigerians who make up a chunk of the country’s population, have always been dismissed and derided for caring more about reality TV shows and football than they do about civics, governance and politics.</h1>

In October of 2020 however, young Nigerians revolted against entrenched injustice and a rigged political system in a way this nation has never quite seen before.&nbsp;

Reports that yet another young man had been brutalized by police officers in Delta State, sparked nationwide protests that were first spearheaded by celebrities before they were seized on by an army of young Nigerians desperate for change.&nbsp;

For decades, the notorious police unit, SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) cemented a reputation for extra-judicial killings, extortion, profiling and a slew of human rights abuses, with young Nigerians as their main fodder.&nbsp;

When the #EndSARS protesters took to the streets in early October and grounded the Nigerian economy for full measure, they were demanding not just for an end to decades of police brutality, but for a reset of the Nigerian state and better governance from the political elite, going forward.&nbsp;

“The #EndSARS movement is the clearest indication yet that whilst majority of Nigerians have logged out of participation in the electoral process - for reasons we can’t begin to expand on here - they very much still care about their survival in the face of police brutality and to a certain extent, the outcomes of governance on their survival,” says writer and blogger, J.J Omojuwa.&nbsp;

Hoodlums and thugs would soon hijack the protests, however. On October 20, 2020, the #EndSARS protests were quashed <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/endsars-protests-were-peaceful-until-government-crushed-them/96xnrbk">when soldiers shot into a crowd of peaceful protesters</a> at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos, just before dark.&nbsp;

Many still believe that the thugs who infiltrated the ranks of the peaceful protesters were hired by government personnel in order to hand the authorities a cast iron reason to impose curfews and take the wind from off the sails of the demonstrators.&nbsp;

Legal practitioner, Ilemona Onoja, disagrees that the #EndSARS protests were “hijacked.”&nbsp;He prefers to use the word “attacked.”

"The #EndSARS protests were not hijacked. They were attacked. First, by hoodlums and thugs sponsored by people with access to the highest levels of power in this country,” says Onoja.&nbsp;

“Then they were attacked by security agents deployed by a government which deliberately refused to see the protest as what it was - a genuine clamour by the citizenry for better policing and an institutionalization of the respect for human rights.

“The actions of the government before, during and after the protest reinforces the belief that made protesters refuse to leave the streets after the #5For5 demands were supposedly met.&nbsp;

“The display of insincerity, hypocrisy and&nbsp;crude illegal force shows that the government has no intention to reform the police and in so doing improve the life and welfare of Nigerians.&nbsp;

“Instead it is desirous of maintaining an oppressive system of policing that violates the constitutional rights and freedoms of the very people that it is supposed to protect in the first place,” he adds.

Among young political analysts, opinions remain divided on whether the protest achieved its aim of resetting Nigeria’s perniciously rigged political system or whether the impact of the protests will manifest in years to come.&nbsp;

“Fighting injustice is not just about righting a wrong, it’s a complete overhaul of the system that enables it and redefines how human lives are prioritized going forward,” says Oluwaseun Ayodeji Osowobi, Executive Director of Stand To End Rape--an NGO.&nbsp;

“Over the years, the SARS unit has operated with impunity; harassing, arresting, extorting and reportedly killing young Nigerians who have been profiled as “fraudsters.”&nbsp;

“If young people cannot feel safe in their country especially with a unit created to protect them, what then is the essence of policing? The protests are an awakening to refuse the prolonged violence perpetrated by SARS and redefine what our democracy should look and feel like — safety.&nbsp;

“It reinforces that with a collective voice, we can find strength to push back, demand accountability and wield our power to determine our future. This is in the hope that our interests to dismantle political tyranny will take precedence and we’ll choose leaders that truly represent and prioritize our wellbeing. The fight for social justice is not a sprint, it is a marathon,” she adds.&nbsp;

Adeeko Ademola, an Abuja based digital content creator, says the protests provided a glimmer of hope for his beleaguered nation. “I think that the #EndSARS protests have succeeded in exposing and unravelling Nigerian politicians and the government at all levels for who they really are.&nbsp;

“The overall reaction of Nigerian leaders to the #EndSARS protests have shown not just every other thing we have witnessed so far, but also the callousness of our leaders when it comes to listening to the cries of their followers.

“I believe that going forward, the #EndSARS protest would have created the perfectly needed motivation for Nigerians, especially the young ones, to speak out against bad governance and furthermore, reject bad leaders.

“I also believe that the protests and the handling of the same by the government will be a reference point towards the 2023 general elections. It has the potential to be a defining moment for Nigeria if the momentum is kept up and going.

“My hopes for a better Nigeria got renewed during the #EndSARS protest basically because of the way and manner young Nigerians mobilised, organised and orchestrated a movement that shook the world in just a few days. I have never witnessed such level of organization within a short period of time especially by a group of people who are deeply divided along ethnic, religious and political lines,” Ademola adds.&nbsp;

However, journalist Boniface Ógèchi Adaeze is not so sure that the protests signpost a paradigm shift of any sort in the larger Nigerian polity. “I don’t think that we have achieved that paradigm shift just yet. As young people, we are not ready for the power we say we want. We had legislative bye-elections a couple of weeks after the #EndSARS protests and not many young people knew elections were being held, let alone participate in the process.&nbsp;

“We still need to develop and harness our political strategy before we can say we are ready to take over from the thieving political class,” she adds.&nbsp;

Civil Rights Leader/Human Rights Advocate and President/Founder of SIAF (Social Intervention Advocacy Foundation), Segun Awosanya, says the “protests have been a painful catalyst and watershed.

“As we heal the nation, we must heal our policing - good can emerge like a phoenix from this fire.

“This is why in order to rebuild the trust eroded in the last five years, SIAF had worked and is still working to bridge the divide between young men (the public generally) and the police - it was astonishing to find young people (young women especially (not necessarily the group at risk) - take up the engagement vanguard:

“The Nigerian youth and the female gender have proven their leadership of conscience mettle, but thuggery and hooliganism is an entire new category that the nation must address as a matter of urgency.”

Freelance writer and political commentator, Mark Amaza says "the EndSARS protests were a political awakening for a generation and half of Nigerians: on the brutality of the Nigerian state, the lack of sanctity for human life, and the need to take the duties of the office of the citizen seriously, which is to hold government accountable by not just voting but through every legal means.&nbsp;

“My only hope is that the momentum built up from it blooms into a thousand different flowers that deepens political engagement among young Nigerians."

That momentum and young people occupying the office of the citizen by participating vigorously in politics, will no doubt be required going forward.

“Young people can always organise themselves into a force for change. Going forward, that organisation has to find expression in partisan politics and elections because in the absence of that, we will always only be left with reacting to government policies rather than leading the change and making these policies ourselves through active and consistent participation in governance and politics,” says Omojuwa.

For researcher Chioma Ogwuegbu who has been surveying young Lagosians on the impact of the #EndSARS protests, “the majority of respondents say that they are now more interested in civic and political participation in Lagos. They say they are now more interested in governance and asking the government the right questions. To me, this is a win for the #EndSARS movement.”

The year 2020 may have been a difficult one for everyone, but it has to be remembered as the year when the Soro Soke (speak up) generation eventually came of age in Africa’s most populous nation.&nbsp;

Across most cities in Nigeria, these young, fearless protesters defied the odds, police and military tanks,<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/sanwo-olu-lekki-shooting-carried-out-by-forces-beyond-my-control/xndcdmr"> bit the bullets</a> and forced the government to take notice and disband SARS after two weeks of relentless occupation and chants.&nbsp;

The federal government also quickly ordered state governments to speedily set up judicial panels of inquiry to probe decades of police brutality.

For braving <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/mr-macaroni-endsars-protesters-spend-night-at-lagos-house-of-assembly/q8x50wc">cold, perilous nights on dangerous streets</a> to demand for accountability from government, for organising a near flawless protest, for forcing the entire world to take notice of and begin using the #EndSARS hashtag, for putting federal and state governments on the defensive for days on end, for forcing the nation’s <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/prof-osinbajo-apologises-to-endsars-protesters/yse3gpy">vice president to issue a public apology</a> on police brutality and for forcing the authorities to make certain concessions, the #EndSARS protester is the Pulse Nigeria Person of the Year 2020.&nbsp;

They carried the hopes of a nation in their lungs for two weeks and stared down the barrels of guns while at it.

How to write a killer CV

<h1>Buying a car, new or used is one of the strongest financial decisions youll have to make if you have the means.</h1>

However, if you're buying a <a href="https://www.cheki.com.ng/?utm_source=pulse&amp;amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;amp;utm_campaign=partner-articles" id="7906583c-cece-5fd2-b0cd-01d28aee92f8">used car</a>, you could end up spending more than you budget if you do not ask the right questions about the vehicle.

Here are five important questions you should ask before buying a used car.

1. Has the car been in an accident?

This first question is very important. Has the car been involved in any accident? What kind of accident? And which part of the car was damaged? These questions will offer explanations on the true state of the vehicle.

The car must have been put into a certain use before the owner decides to sell it off. So, it is important you ask about how the vehicle was used. Was it strictly used for private use, or it was partly private or private commercial?

Another important question for the seller should be about the vehicle's speed. What kind of fuel mileage has the car been getting? What brand of fuel does the owner use for the <a href="https://www.cheki.com.ng/?utm_source=pulse&amp;amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;amp;utm_campaign=partner-articles" id="a1eb0ded-f518-568d-a7e2-309a65991456">car</a>? How much oil does the engine burn at this point?

Having used the car for some time before putting it up for sale, it might have been repaired once or twice. And when that happens, some of its original parts might have been replaced. You need to ask about this to determine the car's reliability and efficiency.

People don't get rid of a vehicle for no reason, there must be a reason why the seller wants to sell it off.  It could be that the car is giving the owner a serious issue. The owner might be considering going for a family size car, there could be many reasons. Just ask.

<h1>Dreams and the fire of hope that power us to achieve them is the honey that gives life its taste. For over 700 youth football coaches across Africa, a dream to be more for their players started by filling in the WorldRemit “Future Stars” application form for a once in a lifetime opportunity to train alongside seasoned coaches from Arsenal Soccer Schools in London.</h1>

Today, 25 coaches are closer to the dream as they have been shortlisted from eight different countries putting them a step closer to the taste of success. For the 2018 Future Award initiative, of the 25 coaches shortlisted by public vote, Uganda emerged with 2 coaches: Musema Faruk and Douglas Smith.

The “Future Stars”  programme, a first of its kind initiative to empower local African youth football coaches to better serve their young players was conceived by WorldRemit with the ethos of their business at heart: giving back to the community.

As the leading international digital money transfer service platform that allows migrants and expats to send funds back home to develop their native communities, it only seemed right to run a programme that involved giving back -  and what better way to do it than through the one sport that unites cultures irrespective of borders.

Within only a single week, over 700 applications were in, speaking to the importance of why these sort of initiatives need to happen more often across fields.

Ivan Kanyali, Country Manager for WorldRemit in Uganda said: “The high volume of entries we received from Uganda is a clear indication of the importance of youth football coaching and the vital role of sport in the community. We see the strength of the entries from Uganda as a very promising sign for the country’s future.

Like these coaches, our customers are helping to build a better future for others. Our goal is to make it easier for them to do so. Following their example, we hope to use opportunities like our partnership with Arsenal to have a positive impact on communities across the globe.”

The shortlisted 25 coaches now face a panel of judges who will further reduce the selection to five finalists before being featured on the futurestars.worldremit.com website where voting for the eventual winner will again be open to the public in the last week of September. Arsenal is waiting!

Simon McManus of Arsenal Soccer Schools said:

“Football has the power to bring communities together, and through our relationship with WorldRemit we can really inspire confidence and encourage positive social change. We pride ourselves on excellence in all we do and we were very impressed with how strongly the commitment to outstanding coaching was reflected by Ugandans.

The work these participants have already done in developing their coaching shows the immense potential of coaching in Uganda. The standard of entries was very impressive, making this a real challenge for the judges. We are eagerly anticipating the final results and look forward to welcoming the successful coach to London.”

Ugandans in the Future Stars shortlist

Douglas Smith from Ibanda, Western Region

A founder and coach at Ibanda Young Stars Soccer Academy, Douglas is a strong believer in the power of football to bring about social change.

Since the academy was founded in March 2017, more than 200 children have been involved in its programs, and Douglas was recently nominated in the Outstanding Sports Personality category of the 2018 Young Achievers Awards in Uganda.

If he were to win a training session with Arsenal coaches, he would use the opportunity to network and learn from the Arsenal Soccer Schools coaches and shine a spotlight on his young players from the villages of Ibanda.

Musema Faruk from Gulu, Northern Region

Musema is an inclusive sports coach for children with disabilities at GDPU (Gulu Disabled Persons Union).

With a passion for sports, Musema developed a proposal for sports coaching sessions when he joined GDPU, which was funded for two years by USAID (U.S. Agency for International development). He currently teaches football for under 13 and under 16 teams with hearing difficulties, helping them to hone their football skills as well as build their self-esteem.

If he were to win a training session with Arsenal coaches, Musema would share what he had learnt with other coaches in his community to enrich the quality of their coaching. He would also use the opportunity as a platform to share his experience of working with children with disabilities.

<h1>The Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) DELTA, on Monday in Warri, handed over a vessel laden with 524 metric tonnes of suspected petroleum products without valid approval, to the EFCC.</h1>

The Commander, NNS DELTA, Commodore Ibrahim Dewu, said nine crew members on board the vessel christened “MV SKYE,’’ were also arrested for various crimes, including economic crimes.

Dewu said the vessel was laden with products suspected to be crude oil and Automated Gasoline Oil (AGO).

He said the suspects were arrested at the Escravos bay in Warri South-West Local Government Area of the state this month.

The naval boss explained that the vessel was earlier apprehended by the Joint Task Force (Operation Delta Safe) in 2014 and handed over to the anti-graft agency for prosecution.

“However, the vessel was released on bond by a court in Port Harcourt with about 388 metric tonnes of crude oil on board.

“The bond was to enable the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) to sell the product and return the money into the Federal Government’s coffers.

“This same vessel was, however, re-arrested and the captain, said it had 505 metric tonnes of product on board.

“While investigating, we realised that the vessel had 524 metric tonnes of products and not 505 in seven of the 12 compartments,”  he said.

Dewu said the crew had told him that they were supposed to be heading to the high sea through Brass in Bayelsa to Port Harcourt to dispose the product after the court case.

“We found them off Escravos and they claim to be having machinery problem which led them to Escravos.

“Secondly, this vessel was released on bond with about 388 metric tonnes of products by the court only for us to find 524 metric tonnes.

“ Part of it is AGO instead of crude oil that was released by the court.

“Part of the problems the Navy faces is that vessels hide under bond to commit illegal activities,” he said.

The commander further said the navy had concluded its investigation, adding that the product on board had no valid approval.

The Commander, NNS DELTA, Commodore Ibrahim Dewu, said nine crew members on board the vessel christened “MV SKYE,’’ were also arrested for various crimes, including economic crimes.
