PLEASE DONT LAUGH: TIGER WOOD FRONT TEETH KNOCKED OFF IN ITALY....

 Please don’t laugh, one of the tooth of legendary golfer Tiger Woods was knocked out today by an overeager cameraman. It was gathered that ,"During a crush of photographers at the awards' podium at the World Cup event in Italy, a media member with a shoulder-mounted video camera pushed and surged towards the stage, turned and hit Tiger Woods in the mouth,' Woods' agent Mark Steinberg said.

Tiger had no choice but to reveal the gap in his teeth as he congratulated his girlfriend. The media and fans at the event didn't even know Tiger was there as he had covered his face with a mask in a bid to stay undiscovered until he revealed himself to his girlfriend. Hahahaha.....

SOCIAL MEDIA REDUCES STRESS...SURVEY

What’s social media doing to us? Is it stressing us out with its never-ending pings announcing new baby pictures, engagements, and unimportant messages to respond to? Or is it keeping us connected to people, and therefore happier?

In a survey conducted by Pew called the Perceived Stress Scale, or PSS, which asks how often, in the last 30 days, someone has been upset by something that happened unexpectedly, felt out of control, and so on , and in asking them very specific questions about how and how often the respondents used social media.

In women, though, “the use of some technologies is tied to lower stress” — albeit to a modest extent.

Specifically, a woman “who uses Twitter several times per day, sends or receives 25 emails per day, and shares two digital pictures through her mobile phone per day, scores 21% lower on our stress measure than a woman who does not use these technologies at all.”

In other words, women might be, on average, better than men at putting social media to psychologically healthy uses:

Sharing through email, sending text messages of pictures of events shortly after they happen and expressing oneself through the small snippets of activity allowed by Twitter may provide women with a low-demand and easily accessible coping mechanism that is not experienced or taken advantage of by men. It is also possible that the use of these media replaces activities or allows women to re-organize activities that would otherwise be more stressful.

ABOMINATION: 18-YEAR OLD GIRL REVEALED PLANS TO MARRY HIS DAD AFTER DATING HIM FOR 2 YEARS

Weird world, an 18-year-old woman from the Great Lakes region describes her romantic relationship of almost two years with the biological father she met after 12 years of estrangement. The 18-year-old girl has revealed plans to marry him and have his children! Read the excerpt below:

What was your family like when you were growing up?
My parents had me when they were 18 — they met in high school and I was conceived on prom night. They were serious for about six months but broke up while my mom was still pregnant with me. My dad wasn’t there when I was born. I think my mom’s psychological problems meant the relationship never really worked out. She has bipolar disorder and some other mental health issues. They just weren’t happy and didn’t really keep in contact after I was born. She wanted to do it alone. When she’s manic it’s hard to know what she’s going to say. After I was born she had a nervous breakdown and couldn’t take care of me, so I lived with her grandparents until I was about 2. I think that’s part of the reason we’ve never been close: We didn’t bond when I was a baby.

Did you have any contact with your father when you were a child?
He briefly came back into my life when I was about 3 or 4 and I saw him on weekends until I was about 5. He lived about an hour away from us and my parents constantly argued about visitation. He was always doing the drive to see me because my mom wasn’t very fond of it — she wouldn’t even meet him halfway.

.......my father and I didn’t end up meeting for two more years, so there was no contact for 12 years — we were reunited when I was 17. 

So can you remember what it was like the moment you and your dad were reunited? Was there an instant attraction?
It was so weird and confusing. I was seeing my dad for the first time in forever but it was also like, He’s so good-looking! And then I was like, What the hell are you thinking? What is wrong with you? I saw him as my dad but then also part of me was like, I’m meeting this guy who I have been talking to over the internet and really connecting with and I find him attractive.

Was there a single moment you realized that you were sexually and romantically attracted to your dad?
After I had stayed with him for about five days.

.........then the third night I fell asleep with him on the floor lying on his chest, in his arms. The fourth night rolled around and we ended up on the floor again. This time we actually cuddled. When he woke up, we were spooning. I didn’t know this at the time but later, after we admitted our feelings, he told me he had had “morning wood” and had gone to fix it.

Did you feel it?
No, I was asleep and he quietly snuck off to the bathroom. 

........ That night we were play-wrestling in the room I was going to sleep in and I bit him. He was wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a tank top and after I bit him I could see goose bumps pop up from his toes to his shoulders. Then he pinched my inner thigh and I got goose bumps.

We stopped and said that we didn’t know what was going on but admitted that we had strong feelings for each other. We discussed whether it was wrong and then we kissed. And then we made out, and then we made love for the first time. That was when I lost my virginity.

What was it like?
There’s a reason I lost my virginity to him — because I’d never felt comfortable with any other man. It was insanely sensual. It lasted for about an hour and there was a lot of foreplay. We both had orgasms. We are so similar, so it’s so easy to sexually please each other. For example, we both love neck-biting. I’ve never been in a more passionate, loving, fulfilling situation.

I’m curious, given the age gap and the perceived power dynamic, did you feel forced or coerced at all?
Absolutely not. He made sure I wanted to do it. We both initiated it and he kept asking me if I was okay, not because he thought I was distressed but because he wanted me to know that we could stop at any point. It was like any other man and woman having sex after they had each admitted their feelings. 

What was it like afterward?
It wasn’t weird at all. It felt so natural. It didn’t even feel taboo. I felt like I had just made love with a man who I’d been with for years. 

.....We plan to move to New Jersey where we can be safe under the law, since adult incest isn’t illegal there, and once I’m there I’ll tell everyone. I’ll call my mom and let her know that we are in love and we are having children. If she wants to see her grandkids we’ll send her money and she can drive to see us. Once we are out about it I won’t be comfortable going back to my hometown. What if someone calls the cops?

So would you have kids together, or would you adopt?
We’ll have kids together.

Do you think you have something special that other couples don’t?
I think we have a better relationship than any couple I’ve met because our bond is so strong. I just feel so close to him and so in love with him. We are almost two years into the relationship and I’m still head over heels with that “first few weeks in love” feeling. Everybody says we are the cutest couple they’ve ever seen. I took him to prom. 

.........When you are 18 you know what you want. You’re an adult under the law and you’re able to consent. I can take care of myself. I don’t need protection. If I were in a situation where I needed to get out I would. I’m not afraid to defend myself. My mom taught me self-defense, whether it be stabbing someone in the eye with a mascara brush or kicking a man in the crotch, and she was careful to teach me about inappropriate touching. From a very young age she told me not to listen to the classic things an abuser might say, like when they tell you to keep it secret or that they will kill you or your family.

MEET CAPTAIN HANNAH WINTERBOURNE: 1ST TRANSGENDER OFFICER IN THE WORLD !!!

 The first ever transgender officer in the world has emerged. Known as Captain Hannah Winterbourne, the male-turn-female, she is the first transgender officer in the world, the Army’s most highly ranked transgender soldier and the only one to become an officer. She’s now in charge of 100 soldiers.

 She was born a man and spent the first few years in the Army as a man before deciding to undergo a sex-change operation while serving in Afghanistan and began her transition in 2013.

 Captain Hannah said;

“I think initially it was a bit of a shock to some people, they weren’t really expecting it because it’s not something you come across every day in the Army. However I think people soon realised that it didn’t make a difference to my job. At the end of the day I can still do all the things I could do before I transitioned.

 “That’s what the Army respects because we’re all about capability and output. That’s what matters.”

Hannah said of her decision to become a woman: “It’s about finding that courage to do it. And that’s not the easiest thing in the world. “I was acting for everyone around me. There was no let up where I could stop that act.”, she said.

Hannah said that it was impossible to spend time on her own and be honest with herself while serving in Afghanistan.
She added: “That was a nudge which eventually ended up with me coming out and changing myself and my way of life.”

 Determined to pursue a career in the Army, she enrolled at a residential college designed for students to enter the Forces.

The Army then sponsored her Electronic Engineering degree at Newcastle University, from where she went on to Sandhurst.
Hannah said: “The point where I realised I was a woman but my body was wrong was around the age of 23 at Sandhurst.

“After I was posted to Germany I decided to go to the doctors and told them. And that’s when my transition process began.”
Hannah has refused to reveal her previous male name, describing it as a ‘label’.
She is now a rep for other transgender servicemen and women and said: “Despite being perceived as a very masculine, old school, organisation the Army’s actually very forward thinking.”
Hannah was commissioned from Sandhurst in 2010 after being selected for officer training aged 15.

Despite the difficulties of coming out as transgender she said the Army had been “a fantastic employer”.
“I came out as a trans soldier about a year and a half ago when I was in Germany and since then I’ve become the highest ranking, openly serving trans soldier serving in the regular army.
“One of my additional duties is that I’m the transgender representative in the British Army, which sees me dealing with education, welfare and dealing with any issues that trans soldiers may have.
“The British Army is a fantastic employer for trans soldiers. We’ve had policies since 1999 and it’s all really, really clear.”

A film featuring Hannah’s life has appeared online and is due to be broadcast by Channel Four as part of a series of short films about transgender people.

FAILED GOVERNMENT: FG SUMMONED INDONESIAN AMBASSADOR OVER EXECUTION OF TWO NIGERIANS

The Federal government through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Aminu Wali, has summoned the Indonesian ambassador to Nigeria to protest the execution of two Nigerians by the Indonesian government on Sunday January 18th.2015.

 According to the statement, the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, approved the execution of only one Nigerian identified as Daniel Emenuo aka Diarrassoube Mamadou in the list of six condemned drugs convicts in December 2014, while another Nigerian Solomon Okafor ,who was mistaken for a Malawian named Namaona Denis was also killed during the execution

"The executions were carried out despite persistent pleas for clemency made by the federal government, including the National Assembly. The executions had taken place against the grain of the excellent relations that subsist between Nigeria and Indonesia. Thus, the foreign minister has summoned the Indonesian Ambassador to register Nigeria’s protest" the statement read.

The Federal government expressed their condolence to the families of the two men executed and also warned Nigerians to desist from drug trafficking.

BARBARIC: LOTTO AGENT ALLEGEDLY BEATEN TO DEATH OVER N500 IN LAGOS....ORDERED BY HIS BOSS

Sade Onafowopo was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for her alleged role in the death of a lotto agent, Oluwatosin Efuneye; Efuneye, 31, was allegedly beaten to death in the Ojuelegba area of Lagos by thugs who were carrying out Onafowopo’s order to torture the lotto agent.   

Eyewitnesses said Onafowopo, who was Efuneye’s boss, ordered the punishment because the deceased reportedly deducted N500 from the money paid by a customer.

The incident was said to have taken place last Thursday, January 15, on Makinde Street, Ojuelegba, where Onafowopo, popularly called Shandy, lived and had her lotto shop. 

The deceased’s father, Pa Efuneye, said his son  “Tosin (Efuneye) was doing the lotto business at Esan Ogboogun Street, Somolu. But he would normally go to Ojuelegba every morning to remit the previous day’s proceeds to his boss, Shandy. He stayed in this house with his younger brother. He was not married.

“What happened on last Thursday was shocking. I learnt that when he got to Shandy’s place, the woman said a customer came to complain that Tosin had deducted N500 from the N1,000 which the customer used to play the lotto. The customer then claimed he had won N240,000, and demanded his winning.

“Shandy did not wait for any explanation from Tosin. She arranged for thugs on her street to torture him. They stripped him to his underwear, and beat him up. Shandy did not report to the lotto’s head office in Lagos State. She did not report to the family or to the police.

“She and the thugs beat up Tosin until he collapsed. They rushed him to a private hospital, but he was already dead. When I learnt about the matter, I called Shandy on the phone, she refused to pick my calls.”

 DSP Kenneth Nwosu, the Lagos State Police spokesperson confirmed the incident and said:
 “The suspect is in our custody, and she is helping the police with information to arrest other suspected killers of the deceased.”

file photo: PARAGA JOINT

The Lagos State Police are currently investigating the death of a 57-year-old man allegedly stabbed to death by his friend over sachet of dry gin worth N30, in Otto community, an outskirt of Lagos.

 Meanwhile, Police officers have gone on a raiding spree in the community and allegedly whisked away about 30 suspects.

The victim, identified as Mr. Abudu (aka Baba Timo), who had moved from Bariga to Otto some months ago, was cooling down with local gin at a joint with his friend (names yet unknown) when trouble began.

Vanguard gathered that the disagreement, which started as a joke at 8p.m., last Friday took a new dimension at 10 p.m., after the duo engaged in a fight, using dangerous weapons such as broken bottle and cutlass on each other. Baba Timo reportedly inflicted machete cuts on his friend’s head and hand, while his friend used a broken bottle on his (Baba Timo) neck.

Unfortunately, Baba Timo died on the spot while his friend who sustained injuries on his head and neck is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Lagos.
