Borrowing nail cutters even from a relative is as good as having manicures in saloons whether instruments are shared and some times not cleaned properly.

A simple survey run recently in Kampala will reveal that few saloons have sterilizers. Going to saloons with your own manicures set may make you seem a little arrogant, but it will definitely save you loads of infections.

It only takes a small cut or scratch to make the body more vulnerable to the entry of an infection and this can easily occur when using nail clippers.

Many fungal and bacterial infections can be spread through shared nail cutters and nail files, so one can also contract HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis B.

There were two main reasons why the EAC presidents rejected Sudan’s entry. The block heads found out that Sudan did not meet the criterion on geographical proximity. The EAC members like Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania reasoned that Sudan can not be accepted to join the block because it is far from any of the member states.

While briefing a cabinet meeting at state house today, president Museveni told members that Sudan was also rejected because it practices sharia law. No country in East Africa practices Sharia law. Museveni however says that Sudan would be accepted after further consultations.
