1. Walnuts Walnuts help not your sex drive, but your performance -- especially when eaten after a fatty meal. They keep your arteries from constricting in response to or responding abnormally to exercise and exertion. Walnuts are also high in the amino acid arginine, which you need to make nitric oxide, which in turn keeps arteries flexible and improves your blood flow. Dosage: Eight walnuts, with your meal, four hours before sex. Take with or instead of Viagra/Cialis/Levitra.   2. Beans, legumes and seeds -- especially kidney beans, peanuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds These foods are richest in arginine. An excellent study showed that a supplement high in arginine improved female desire, satisfaction and frequency of sex, regardless of menopausal status. Note: Watermelon, which generates arginine indirectly, probably only makes you pee more. 3. Mediterranean foods Eat these if you have a big belly and metabolic syndrome. The Mediterranean diet works to help you b

Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta has rejected a controversial media bill passed by parliament that would have imposed regulation on journalists. Last month, MPs voted to set up a tribunal with the power to impose fines on media houses and journalists for breaching a code of conduct. It provoked a furious reaction from Kenya's independent media. The president's office said it was the first time Mr Kenyatta had used his veto since he took office in April. The Kenyan media is currently regulated by the Media Council of Kenya, an independent body which has a complaints department that the bill proposed would be taken over by a new government-controlled communications tribunal.

Despite a mere five months on the planet, Kim Kardashian's fiance thinks the tiny tot is already well on her way to superstardom.

The leather trouser-wearing rapper also told the station that he sees himself like "a Walt Disney". "I'm just a creative. I'm more like, a Walt Disney or something. "Like rap is just a chamber of my thoughts. It's something that I really wanted to express as a modern-day poet, because you know, if I had lived in a past lifetime, maybe

He said the matter was transferred to the Zone 2 Police Command and the case was turned against him after which he spent two weeks in detention.

You will recall that Caroline quit acting a few years ago to become the second wife of billionaire Musa Danjuma. Well, it appears that the actress is having second thoughts about her marriage – she is a second wife and she recently confessed on her Facebook page that being the second best and being in second place is not fun. “It is no fun being in second place, thrive to be the best, live your dreams, you have given so much to the world, its time to live for you, trust yourself and work endlessly. may the lord give you all your heart desires”she posted.

The death of a woman who fell from a window at a home “controlled” by the slavery case suspects is being ­investigated by detectives. Sian Davies, 44, plunged from the second floor of a three-storey terraced house being rented by Maoist cult leaders Aravindan Balakrishnan and his wife Chanda. Her cousin, Eleri Morgan, said: “She must have been trying to escape that’s the only explanation for it. "For years she was missing, we hired private investigators to find her.” Now police are trawling records to re-examine the circumstances in which Sian, originally from Llanelli, South Wales, fell from a bathroom window at the house in Herne Hill, South East London, in 1997

The Federal Government has released the details of new duties and levies payable on imported new and used vehicles as well as imported new tyres from next year, raising the tariff from 20 per cent to 70 per cent. Dealers of imported vehicles estimated that the new rate would translate into an increase of 60 per cent on imported cars. The Federal Executive Council had last month approved a new national automotive policy aimed at encouraging local production and assembling of new vehicles with an imposition of a high import tariff on fully built vehicles. But the new rate was not given then.

remember the story of the young lad that had his eyes gouged out? here is the latest on the boy. The Chinese boy whose eyes were gouged out in an attack in August is recovering from surgery which completes the process of implanting prosthetic eyes. Guo Bin has undergone a series of operations for him to have prosthetic eyes to give him a natural appearance. These will not restore his vision. His mother, Wang Wenli, told the BBC they "had to try everything". He was found with his eyes missing, covered in blood in Shanxi last August. Police suspected his late aunt was responsible for gouging his eyes out. Six days after the incident, she reportedly killed herself by jumping into a well. Her motive for the attack remains unclear.
