Kenya's Central Bank governor nominee grilled for being single at 54

When you get to a certain age and not married, people start to wonder. But when you're 54, very successful and never been married...Kenyan lawmakers grill you mercilessly...lol. That's what happened to the man nominated to head the country's Central Bank. The lawmakers wondered, if you can't find a woman, keep a woman and make a home, how can you keep our money? Lol. 54 year old University of Nairobi and Yale-educated economist Patrick Njoroge, who works as an adviser at the International Monetary Fund, is single. Never been married, doesn't have children and when he appeared in front of Kenya's parliament last week, telling them how he can move their economy forward as head of their Central Bank, they were like, really? lol. He was so grilled about his marital status that it caused debate online in Kenya with quite a few condemning the lawmakers The lawmakers asked him about economic policy, why he doesn't have assets in the country and why he isn't married. "I am single by choice and I am comfortable that way," he told the lawmakers. "There is nothing sinister with that and I am sure this committee has done its due diligence on what sort of a person I am". Kenya's Daily Nation quoted him as sayingWhy so much interest in his marital status? In Kenya and in most parts of Africa, it's unusual to find a man over 40 who has never been married, so his status will definitely raise eyebrow in the country because the average age of first marriage in Kenya for men is about 30 years old. Many condemned the line of questioning on twitter though, saying that Njoroge's competence, rather than his personal life, that he should be tested by.

New condom changes color when exposed to STDs

A new 'smart condom' was created by a group of teenage students for the Teen Tech awards, which they claim will glow different colors if it detects an STD! The creators said the condom will work with a layer of chemicals on the surface that will attach to bacteria and viruses from STDs. Here are the colors that the condom will change if STDs are detected: “glow green for chlamydia, yellow for herpes, purple in the presence of the human papillomavirus which causes genital warts, and blue for syphilis.”Not only will the “smart condoms” make you aware if your partner might have an STD, one of the designers explained: “We wanted to create something that makes detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the invasive
