Nigeria complains about Mugabe's speech














LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -- The official News Agency of Nigeria reports Zimbabwe's envoy has been called in for a complaint about President Robert Mugabe's remarks about corruption in Nigeria.
It says the ministry of foreign affairs on Thursday told Zimbabwean diplomat Stanley Kunjeku that Nigeria will not tolerate Mugabe's "vitriolic and denigrating" attack.

Transparency International lists Zimbabwe as more corrupt, at No. 157 of 175 countries with Nigeria at 144.

If you are in hot conditions or are physically exerting yourself, your body temperature will rise. The eccrine glands are stimulated and release perspiration, which is mostly made up of water and salt. This basic type of sweat is virtually odorless and is used as a simple mechanism to cool down the body through evaporation. The sweat that causes odor is a separate type. It comes from the apocrine glands, which are located near hair follicles...
