In the midst of the biting economic crisis facing many Nigerians, forcing many to go as far as committing suicide, a sub-sector of the Nigerian economy is booming bringing smile to the faces of people lacking sexual fulfillment.
S*x toys
This is the s*x toy market.
In a society where people can hardly speak openly about sexual problems, Saturday Punch’s investigation shows that some vendors sell sex toys worth millions of naira every month.
A sex therapist and prominent s*x toy vendor, Mrs. Iheoma Obibi, explained that contemporary Nigerians are gradually coming out of some sort of “sexual darkness” and this is creating a boom in the market with an attendant influx of fake sex toys.
For the last six and half years, Kemi Fawole, a certified s*x therapist, has been dealing in adult products including sex toys.

…This Is A Historic Moment For Lagos, Kebbi, Says Lagos Gov

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode and his Kebbi State counterpart, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu on Wednesday launched the much anticipated Lagos-Kebbi Rice christened LAKE RICE, saying that the partnership which culminated into the launch was not only designed to ensure food security but showcase the ability of Nigeria to become a producing nation.

Speaking at the launching ceremony held at Lagos House in Ikeja, Governor Ambode said the development was a great and historic moment for both states and Nigeria, as the rice would not only be sold at highly reduced price, compared to what obtains in the market, but is also very fresh and safe for consumption.

“Today is an historic day for Lagos and Kebbi States. In March 2016, we signed an MOU with an understanding that we, being proudly Nigeria, we want to come out with what is made in Nigeria and what is good in Nigeria. We took all that President Muhammadu Buhari said that we need to grow our food and we decided that we will prove a point and that is what today is all about.

If A Woman Touches A Man's Private Part, Cut Her Hand - Says The Bible

Many will however be shocked by some verses of scripture in the Bible that they have not come across before. Here

1. Deuteronomy 25:11
This Bible verse is weird, funny and kind of scary. Deuteronomy 25:11 says:
“When two men are fighting and the wife of one of them intervenes to drag her husband clear of his opponent, if she puts out her hand and catches hold of the man by his privates, you must cut off her hand and show her no mercy.”


2. Psalms 137:9
This Bible verse is confusing and scary at the same time. It says: “Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.”


3. 2 Kings 2: 23 – 24
Elijah was obviously in a bad mood here, no other way to explain it. 2 Kings 2: 23 – 24 says: “And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
“And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.”


4. Leviticus 18:22
Homosexuality is spelled out as a sin clearly in this Bible verse: Leviticus 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”

5. There was a nudist here, why he was running around remains unclear. Mark 14: 51,52 has this to say: “And a young man followed [Jesus], with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.” Many believe the naked man was Mark.


6. 1 Peter 2:18
On the matter of slavery, the Bible had these to say, at 1 Peter 2: 18: “Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.”

7. Jeremiah 19:9
Cannibalism? This Bible verse proclaims some scary things. Jeremiah 19:9 says: “I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh because their enemies will press the siege so hard against them to destroy them.”

SHOCKING: Knock Before Entering The Mortuary

Chima whose is popularly known as Emeka Ambulance, Okunmi Community, located at the suburbs of Ikom, Central senatorial district, Cross River state, has revealed that morticians have to battle the spiritual in the line of duty.
The mortician said that now and again, people in his line of business go through warfare with occultists and members of some secret societies before their corpses were embalmed in his mortuary.
The mortician must battle the spiritual sometimes.
Vanguard reports that the Arochukwu-born mortician, whose mortuary is located along Ikom-Calabar highway, confessed to NDV that dead bodies, especially those of occultists and members of secret societies “do give us trouble while being embalmed because their bodies have been ‘fortified’ by the devil or some spiritual forces.”
There are forces beyond the human
“In such cases, we have to pet and persuade them by talking to them to allow the chemicals to penetrate their bodies, but if they remain stubborn, we have to employ our own spiritual force and of course, power pass power and we can then embalm them,” he disclosed.
According to him, he learnt the trade in Onitsha General Hospital, Anambra state, and had come to know that some dead bodies were so “powerful” such that they do not allow others to lie close to them and he was always careful when attending to such bodies. Some corpses don’t allow others to lie near them His words:
“Some powerful people do not allow other dead bodies to lie close to them, so in the night, they will remove other bodies near them and dump them far from where they are or they would go to an isolated place and lie there – all dead bodies are not the same, which is why we knock before we enter there.”

A white garment church prophet in a suburb of Lagos, ‘Woli Adesoji’, reportedly met his untimely death during sex with the wife of his close friend and an elder in the church.
It was gathered that the ‘Prophet’, was actually expelled from another church where he was a prophet after he was caught with a member’s wife and he later opened his own church and seemed to continue in his indulgence.

Being the leader of the church, Adesoji had a free reign and slept with any woman he deemed fit, both married and single, especially those who sought for fruits of the womb or husbands.

Prostitute Died After Several Rounds Of Sex With Many Customers

A prostitute saw her end when she died after a several rounds of s*x with several customers in a brothel in Enugu State.
The incident, which occurred on Saturday, led to the arrest of the last customer who spent the night with her, a man named Ikechukwu Oga.

Ikechukwu had gone to a brothel where he met with the deceased and struck a sex deal. Having agreed on the bargain, Ikechukwu said he was asked to wait for his turn, as someone was already on the line. By the time he came back, Roseline was still on duty just as she pleaded with him to exercise patience, promising to be with him throughout the night.

Google’s Practise Of Making Out-Of-Print Books Accessible Online Is Legal After all

U.S 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York yesterday, noted that, making out-of-print books (books no longer available from a publisher) accessible online is legal. This was made known when the Authors Guild and some other writers made cases on that front, claiming Internet giant Google, a company known for such practise in Google Books infringed on intellectual content laws.
Google Books over the years has repeatedly angered authors, publishers and even rival firms. This year, a copyright violation claim case was laid to the said Appeals court, which if won by the authors would cost the search company billions of dollars in damages, but yet again the claim was apparently rejected, with the legal establishment’s presiding Judge Denny Chin saying, Google’s public service of making such books accessible online definitely falls under “fair use,” making it not to advance beyond acceptable limits on laws covering intellectual property.
Following the decision made by the tribunal, favouring the search firm, it’s spokesman Aaron Stein said “this serves to underline what people who use the service tell us: Google Books gives them a useful and easy way to find books they want to read and buy, while at the same time benefiting copyright holders.”
It’s also worthy to note that just last year, the Authors Guild saw a close scanning books case against schools rejected by the Appeals Court in U.S.

‘I Derive Pleasure In Insults’ - Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo Says

Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo who was Nigeria’s president from 1999 to 2007, said he derives pleasure from insults spoken against him when he was in office.

Obasanjo made the statement on Wednesday, October 14, 2015, while presenting an address at a conference of the African Studies Association of Africa in Ibadan, Oyo State.

“If you visit the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, you will find thousands of archived newspaper comics and columns meant to spite and insult my person even as a sitting President,” Obasanjo said.

“No individual or group of people was ever queried or jailed or repressed for expressing this freedom. Rather, I encouraged them because I derived fun and pleasure from the humour as I know who I am and nobody needs to tell me who and what I am not,” he added.

Nigerian Jokes That You've Never Heard

Nigerian jokes you have'nt heard.

Hungry and Broke
There were three men living together in London. An Afro-American, a West Indian and a Nigerian. They were all starving because they didn't have money to buy food.

However upon coming close to a posh London restaurant in this classy neighbourhood, they decided to come up with a plan.

The Afro-American went in first. After being seated, he ordered a three course meal with white wine. When he had finished the meal, the waiter came by with the bill. "LISTEN MY MAN, I ALREADY PAID YOU!" - the Afro-American shouted! The waiter was very confused because he could not remember being paid. But because he did not want to cause any trouble, he let the brother leave.

Five minutes later, the West Indian walked into the same restaurant and ordered a five course meal with red wine. When he was finished eating, the waiter came by to collect the money for the food. "HEY, HEY, LOOK AT ME CROSSES. BUT AH PAID YOU ALREADY!" - the West Indian shouted. This time the manager came and had to calm down the West Indian, because he did not want anything to upset the other customers. He let the guy go.

Ten minutes later, the Nigerian walked in. And you know how we are. He sat down. Lit up a cigarette, and ordered the most expensive meal on the menu, plus two bottles of Beer. After he had finished, the waiter came to collect the money for the meal, But before the Nigerian could say anything, the waiter spoke to him."Sir, I have been having all sorts of problems all day and I can't understand it. Two other people like you came in earlier and ate, and they say that they paid me but I don't remember getting any money from them so, " Before he could finish, the Nigerian interrupted, rather emphatically, "OGA I SORRY FOR YOU OOOO. BUT DAT NA YOUR PROBLEM. I JUST WANT YOU TO GIVE ME MY CHANGE!!"

U.S. Dentist Will Not Be Charged For Killing Cecil The Lion - Zimbabwe Says

Zimbabwe says will not charge U.S. dentist for killing Cecil the lion

Zimbabwe will not charge an American dentist for killing its most prized lion in July because he had obtained legal authority to conduct the hunt, a cabinet minister said on Monday.
"We approached the police and then the Prosecutor General, and it turned out that (Walter) Palmer came to Zimbabwe because all the papers were in order," Environment Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri told reporters, saying the American dentist could not be charged.

Obama Advises Kanye On US Presidential Bid

Barrack Obama and Kanye West

 US President Barack Obama offered advice Saturday to Kanye West on the rapper’s improbable White House bid — telling him that reality TV might be good training for Washington.
West, who has declared with an unclear degree of seriousness that he will run for president in 2020, was performing at a fundraiser for Obama’s Democratic Party in San Francisco.
Addressing supporters who paid up to $10,000 a ticket, teased that he had campaign advice for West, who is married to reality television star Kim Kardashian.
“First of all, you’ve got to spend a lot of time dealing with some strange characters who behave like they’re on a reality TV show,” Obama said to laughter.
Obama joked that the background of West — like Obama, an African-American who spent formative years in Chicago — may not be entirely far-fetched for the presidency.
