8-Months Old Pregnant US Olympian; Alysia Montano Runs 800M Race

 28-year old US Olympian, Alysia Montano who is 34 weeks pregnant( 8 1/2 months pregnant) surprises all as she participates in the 800 Meter race of yesterday at the Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, California. She received a standing ovation from the spectators after she completed the race in 2 minutes, 32.13 seconds. Omo dada!!

 

Did i hear you scream? well, her doctor gave her the go-ahead as it is medically believed not to be harmful to the foetus. Alysia says:

 

"I've been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process."

"'That took away any fear of what the outside world might think about a woman running during her pregnancy."

"What I found out mostly was that exercising during pregnancy is actually much better for the mom and the baby...I did all the things I normally do...I just happened to be pregnant. This is my normal this year"

How Emir Sanusi Bowed to President Goodluck Jonathan

"> 

 

It has been reported and also gone viral that the new Emir of Kano, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has made entry into his palace; Emir Palace in Kano (5 days after he was turbaned) to ascend the throne and has left the Government House where he was reportedly hiding. What we might not know is the magic of freedom between President Jonathan and Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

According to The Herald, the Emir of Kano, Mallam Lamido Sanusi reportedly swallowed his pride and begged President Goodluck Jonathan to enable him leave the government house and ascend the throne at the Emir’s palace.

Sanusi had been shacked up in a room at the Kano State Government House whilst police barricaded the Emir’s palace shortly after his appointment as Emir last weekend.

The official reason the police were stationed there was to prevent irate youth and looters from having access to the palace, since the news of Sanusi’s selection by Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso caused a lot of disaffection in the state.

However unofficially it was rumoured that President Jonathan sought to have Lamido Sanusi arrested due to alleged overwhelming evidence of fraud and other sharp practices against him during his tenure as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Popular and reliable news source say it was the strength of the case against him that made the new Emir bow to President Goodluck Jonathan, and beg for forgiveness. Reportedly a source said, “Sanusi told the President he was sorry for anything he might have done wrong in the past and asked the President to consider him henceforth as a friend.”

Powerful intermediaries had lobbied on his behalf before the President even agreed to speak with him, Minister of Defence, Aliyu Gusau pleaded on his behalf.

As at yesterday, the latest report was that the police had been withdrawn from the palace and the new Emir allowed to move in.

“My Husband Turned Me Into An Unused Spare Tyre” – Sexually Starved Woman Laments In Court

A Customary Court sitting in the Mapo area of Ibadan dissolved an 8-year-old marriage. The dissolution of the marriage which produced two children was on the grounds of sex starvation where it was heard in Court by one Mrs. Nike Omodiminiyi who said that her husband, David only spent time making love with his first wife and gave her no attention.

While trying to persuade her back to her marriage, Nike who told the court that her husband David turned her to an "unused spare tyre" in their matrimonial home further said:
“He already had a wife before he married me and he’s regularly satisfying her sexually." 
“I can’t endure the loneliness and sexual starvation any longer.“He doesn’t need me; he’s just wasting my time and life”
“Even though I have two children for him, I’ve made up my mind to leave him and move on with my life,”
However, her husband David while responding, denied abandoning her;“I have done all I could to satisfy and pacify her, but she has remained adamant,”

According the court president, Mr. Henry Agbaje, who said he had not option than to end their marriage due to the couple's irreconcilable differences:
"All attempts to pacify Nike not to quit the marriage have failed"
“I hereby put an end to the union between both of you “David shall pay a monthly feeding allowance of N5, 000 for the upkeep of the two children,’’

Meet The Child Goddess"Kumari" Whose Feet Must Not Touch The Ground Until Puberty

Pictured above is the new Virgin Goddess of Nepal (a land of mysticism) whose legs will never touch the ground till she begins to menstruate.She will be worshipped as a deity by thousands of adoring Hindus and Buddhists in Nepal and will never be thought how to walk till puberty.

Previously, a Kumari Devi also known as Virgin Goddess  used to be chosen/appointed by the high priests based on their physical characteristics of a slender neck like a conch shell, their gentle eyes like a cow and other special traits but the selection process has changed as every prospective Kumari must go through over 30 unusual tests to prove acceptance by the gods.

In one test, she is placed in a darkened room with severed animal heads and hideously masked dancing men, while her reaction is observed. In another test, she must correctly identify the items worn by her predecessor (similar to the ritual used in Tibet to choose a new Dalai Lama).

 

Once a Kumari is selected, she moves out of her home and into the Kumari Bahal, along with her family. Here, she is treated like royalty – she is carefully protected, appearing in public only if an occasion demands it. For these public appearances, she is seated on a traditional throne, as visitors come to pay their respects. Her feet aren’t allowed to touch the ground; she is carried around on chariots or in her caretakers’ arms at all times.

A Kumari has an entirely different lifestyle from that of normal children. She doesn’t attend school, and doesn’t learn to walk until she reaches puberty. Once she begins to menstruate, she goes through a special 12-day ‘Gufa’ ritual, marking the end of her life as a little goddess.

38-Year-Old Man Electrocuted In Warri Central Hospital

 

There had been a detached wire lingering on the floor near the Blood Bank Department of the Warri Central Hospital, Warri, Warri South Local Area of Delta State. However, despite several warnings of risk of that wire, nothing was done and that entrapped a victim of 38 who got electrocuted by same wire.

On Tuesday night, 38-year-old Victor from Edo State who was on his way to Lagos from Port-Harcourt on a business trip decided to share the joyful news of the birth of a baby boy of his elder brother's wife. Branching off to the Warri Central Hospital to visit mother and child before he continues his journey to Lagos, he visited the maternity ward of the hospital where he accidentally stepped on the naked wire and got electrocuted.

All attempts to save him were unsuccessful as he was later confirmed dead at the accident and emergency ward of the hospital. Speaking to news men, a nurse in the hospital who pleaded anonymity said she had complained severally about the naked wire:

“I told them that the naked wire will kill somebody one day but they did not listen to me, even when I tried to write, I was advised not to write by a medical expert."

His body was later abandoned by his family for management of the hospital to take care of.

May his soul rest in peace.
