IT has long been said that what a man can do a woman can do better. This widespread saying may have found full expression among certain women in Delta State who have taken to biking. Motorbike riding by women is extremely rare in Southwest Nigeria and almost non-existent in the north because of religious and social factors.

Second, there are several companies that make "sex dolls." Unlike robots, sex dolls cannot move on their own, but these companies continue to advance their goal of making products that look and feel as lifelike as possible. And third, artificial intelligence will allow computers to interact with humans by making their own

In this interview by Joseph Medoye and Yetunde Aisida, they speak on the harrowing experience and their eventual triumph. Excerpts: For the Oyes, one of the greatest challenges that life brought before them was in the area of childbearing after they got married. For over 17 years, they were confronted with the inability to have a child. While speaking with Nigerian Tribune, Joseph Oye, gave an insight into the reasons behind the problem that lingered for a long time. “When we got married, we never knew we would wait that long. By the time we realised the delay, we started spending money on various tests in hospitals. We had sessions with various gynecologists, professors of medicine, experts in the field but all to no avail. “As my father’s first child, I felt alone since all my siblings had already
