Bill Gate's wife pictured washing plates and fetching water in Malawi

 

You see some stories at times and you’re lost for words. Melinda Gates, the wife of the richest man in the world, Bill Gates shocked the whole world when she joined women to fetch water and wash the dishes during her visit in Malawi. 

“Helping wash the dishes during my homestay in Malawi. Women spend much of the day cooking and then cleaning up. It’s a reminder that it’s a lot more time consuming to do dishes when you can’t just turn on a faucet”. She wrote.

Now I hope some high-society women with heavy ‘shoulder pads’ will take cues from this. Once upon a time in Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos I watched a very rich woman ask her driver to double cross a motorcyclist. His offence, he splashed dirty water on her car. The driver handed him a handkerchief to clean the spot. I saw the scenario and shook my head. It wasn’t even mud, yes it had a little dirt but it was uncalled for.

Japan is considering installing toilets in lifts

Japan is considering installing toilets and drinking fountains in their lifts. Hope the two won’t stay close. According to Metro UK, due to the country’s frequent earthquakes citizens often become trapped in lifts for hours, and sometime even days, at a time.
On Saturday Japan was hit by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake which left thousands stuck in lifts without water or toilet facilities. Obviously some lifts will be far too small to install such facilities, in which case collapsible cardboard structures with adsorbent paper bags would reportedly be used instead.
Officials from the infrastructure ministry and the Association of Elevator Markers will be meeting soon to discuss the proposals.

Teenage sprinter becomes the fastest British woman in history.

A 19 year-old teenage sprinter, Dina Asher-Smith yesterday became the fastest British woman in history after setting a British 100m record of 11.02 seconds at the World Challenge Meeting in the Netherlands.
The Londoner disclosed that she was initially disappointed in herself because she thought her efforts were poor.‎
‎

“I wasn’t completely happy with it because my start was only alright and at the end I felt like I tightened up and lost my form. ‎So at first I was a bit annoyed. I looked at Dafne’s time and I thought it was amazing but I didn’t think I was anywhere near her so I’d wasted the opportunity.

“But then my time flashed up and I was absolutely over the moon. I really wasn’t expecting to run that time with the kind of race that I ran. So I was really, really happy. I’ve got a few things to work on so I think that points to me being able to replicate and do a bit better later in the season.”She said.
