  Actress and filmmaker Angela Eguavoen has said she believes all men cheat, explaining that the belief serves as a form of emotional consolation in case she discovers that a partner has been unfaithful. Speaking in an interview with PUNCH, Eguavoen said she strongly believes all men cheat, despite the common response from men that not every man is unfaithful. “I strongly believe that all men cheat,” she said. “Whenever I say that, the men will say, ‘It is not all men.’”   The actress explained that she would rather hold on to that belief as a way of preparing herself emotionally for the possibility of discovering that a partner has cheated.   “I think it is a belief I use to console myself just in case I am in a relationship and suddenly find out that the person I am dating is cheating,” she said.   Eguavoen added that while she would not hurt a partner over infidelity, she believes a man who cheats should at least be discreet and respectful toward his partner. ...

New CIA document reveals Osama bin Laden was plotting terror attack on Britain before 9/11

  Newly declassified CIA documents show that US intelligence officials believed Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were considering attacks on the United Kingdom several years before the September 11, 2001, attacks. The documents were released by the CIA to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and include intelligence assessments dating from the late 1990s. Among them is an August 28, 1998, briefing titled “Bin Ladin Terrorist Network Still a Threat”, which indicated that bin Laden was considering further attacks against both the United States and the UK. The memo was compiled following US cruise missile strikes against Al-Qaeda-linked targets in Sudan and Afghanistan. “Hours before the US missile strikes, Bin Laden was looking at options for further attacks against the US as well as the UK,” the document said. “Bin Ladin did not indicate precise targets or timing.” The assessment also identified a US embassy in an unnamed country as a possible target and said a man had been authorised by b...
