A devastated father, Tian Xueming, from China, has kept his 18-year-old son's dead body in a chest freezer for the last six years because it makes him feel he has never left and he can't bear to be parted from his dead son.

The 18 year-old boy, Qinyuan, died of leukemia six years ago. The father has refused all requests to move son Qinyuan's body to a family tomb. He said, 'when my wife and I want to talk to him we can just pull up some chairs, lift the lid and chat to him as if he had never been taken from us.' He said Qinyuan was the only thing keeping them going after the death of their first child, a girl who died when she was 15.

The 54-year-old carpenter set up a series of back-up electricity generators to keep the freezer running during the district's frequent power cuts.

The president, while addressing the nation this morning on the 52nd Independence of the county said 'Nigeria will succeed but I cannot do it alone'. Read President Jonathan's full speech to the nation after the cut...

WHO HAS THE EASIER LIFE?

I stumbled upon this debate recently and it seems women believe that men have easier life than women because they don't have to stand as much pain as women do. I totally agree. With the stress of carrying a pregnancy to term, including the nausea and sickness and risks that comes with it to the pain during labor. Also not forgetting the monthly pain, the stress of dealing with everyday problems in the home, (while the men come back from work and sit in font of the t.v, eat warm dinner and go to bedt), men don't have to endure the pain of making their hair, or make up or.... I can go on and on and on.

There is nothing men do that women don't do, and even more.

Sorry jare, let me allow you guys speak your mind too. Do you believe men have it easier in life than women. Oya, over to the men, defend yourselves.
