The Federal Government on Tuesday said the pest, Tuta absoluta, popularly known as ‘Tomato Ebola’, which is responsible for the massive destruction of tomato in farmlands, had invaded six states in Nigeria. It also disclosed that Nigeria spent about N80bn ($400m) annually importing tomato paste, adding that many of the imported products were substandard.The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Audu Ogbeh, who said this during a press briefing in Abuja, stated that the report that tomato processing factories had mopped-up tomato fruits in Nigeria was unfounded and untrue.

Update! We just got an official statement straight from Twitter today. It turns out (sadly) links will still count towards your 140-character count.

If you're just shouting out a handle in your post, that will still take away from your 140-character allowance. Additionally, users will now be able to Quote Tweet and Retweet their personal posted content. Did you Tweet selfie magic six months ago that went under the radar? Maybe you only had three followers, and now you have 3 million. RT that shiz and let it rake in the hearts it deserves. Such a good idea. Finally, the social site notes we can say peace out to ".@," saying, "These changes will help simplify the rules around Tweets that start with a username. New Tweets that ...

It seems there is no place more fitting for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to celebrate eternal love than in la città eterna—Rome. In honor of their second wedding anniversary, the reality star and her rapping beau jetted off to the Italian capital on Sunday to mingle among the country's rich, famous and most beautiful. The duo joined designer Valentino Garavani and screen siren Monica Belluci for an evening viewing of La Traviata directed by Sofia Coppola at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. The mother of two looked like a classic cinema starlet herself, draped in a white one-shoulder gown designed by Vivienne Westwood with slicked back hair and minimal jewelry, aside from her blinding 15-carat square cut engagement ring. "My ring shined so bright for our love in Rome while we celebrated our 2 year anniversary in Italy, the country we got married in! #Blessed" Kardashian captioned a shot of her ring catching the light in the Roman sun. Less than 200 miles away ...
