"I cannot really call myself a politician, but l am someone who prays and wish for things to get better than it is in this country. I believe I can help to achieve what my brother started in Rivers State. It is a known truth that Port Harcourt was the Garden City of this great country, but we lost that glory because of poverty and neglect, coupled with incessant militancy and kidnapping.

Check out the 5 Foods with More Potassium Than a Banana

Turns out it isn't the only food packed with this powerful nutrient.

Potassium is a crucial nutrient, playing key roles in muscle strength, nerve function and heart health. And if you don't get enough—4,700 mg a day—it could lead to a deficiency, complete with fatigue, muscle cramps, heart palpitations and dizzy spells. Yikes.

You've probably heard that bananas are packed with potassium, which is true. This tasty staple is a great option for an ample dose of the nutrient, with 422 mg in each medium-sized serving according to the USDA Nutrient Database.

See how Ebola can affect African football

Health risks in football have largely been limited to the relatively rare on-field incidents involving footballers collapsing [often to their demise] due to latent cardiac issues.

With the qualification series for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations gathering pace, however, a much more realistic threat looms for the African game: Ebola.

This haemmorhagic fever of viral origin - indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa and first diagnosed in 1976 - typically causes the infected person to experience debilitating symptoms, among them fever, muscle pains, headaches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. Severe bleeding then occurs, followed by the inevitable, death.
