Happy Anniversary

I dont support rape but all this women claiming rape when
1. They made themselves vulnerable by wearing skimpy dresses
2. They sleep with a well known celeb and claim rape

are not serious..
This girl claiming C Ronaldo raped her met him in a night club.. what was she expecting in a night club? A prayer?

KingKingKing:
Before u say anything further remember Okonjo is from Delta state SS, If this comes through then the South East are once again Schemed out of things at the centre!

Nigeria has made you think delta igbo is not igbo

was the car gifted to you by obafemi martins robbed too? lets know where to begin investigation

Nigerians have taken the Atiku campaign to the next level by designing a political campaign poster and even picking a VP candidate fo him..

They certainly have come a long way from their small hometown in the Middle-East. Numbering 2.2 billion people worldwide, Christians make up the world’s largest religion by a margin of one billion, and the religion is still growing apace. Catholicism alone can boast almost as many adherents as there are people in China. Under the Christian umbrella, there are at least as many denominations as there are fish in the sea; this Middle-Eastern born faith is unrivalled in its predominance worldwide with three major continents, plus half of Africa reporting Christian majorities. Europe, which in the not too distant Medieval past went by the name Christendom, claims the majority of the world’s adherents to the faith, with 26% of all Christians hailing from the cradle of Western Civilisation. Conversely, the birthplace of Christianity (not to mention Judaism and Islam), the Middle-East, can boast no more than 0.6% of the earth’s Christians, a mere 12.7 million dispersed over the Middle-Eastern nations.





That Christianity does better away from home is nothing new. Since the Middle Ages about two thirds of the planet’s Christians lived in continental Europe. By 1910, Christianity may have penetrated North and South America and a good chunk of Africa, but still 2 out of 3 Christians lived in historical 'Christendom'.



The figures you're about to read (produced by the Pew Research Centre in 2012) belie the fact that something has been - and is - changing in the global distribution of Christians. Christianity is on the move. Since 1910, the world has changed. Super powers have come and gone, populations have boomed in America, Africa and Asia and declined significantly in Europe. Today Europe can still claim to have the most Christians, spread out over the continent, with over 558.2 million adherents to the faith residing in European nations. Yet, the continent can no longer claim to be the global centre of the faith - not with South America boasting 531.3 Christians, and their neighbours to the North claiming as many as 266.6 million. In fact, of the largest national Christian populations in the world, Europe is represented by only one country. Find out which as we set out to trace the largest Christian populations on Earth.

10. ETHIOPIA - 52.07 MILLION











The smallest population on our Christian list is also the closest to the faith's birthplace in the Middle East. Ethiopia has been Christian longer than any other country on this list, having adopted Christianity as a state religion as early as the 4th Century AD. Today 62.8% of the population identify as Christian, that is 52,07,000 adherents to the faith of a total population of 82,950,000. Of course this isn’t Ethiopia’s only claim to fame. Leading geneticists agree that this sub-Saharan nation is likely the oldest land of human habitation, the bridgehead from which humans spread across the world. If we look at things that way, then; Ethiopia may host 2.4% of the earth’s Christians, but 100% of the world’s Christians come from Ethiopia!

9. GERMANY – 56.54 MILLION










No surprises here: The powerhouse of Europe, and the former seat of the Holy Roman Emperor (not to be confused with the slightly less holy pre-Christian emperors of Rome), Germany has been Christian almost as long as it’s been German, today contributing 56,540,000 million Christians to the world total, equivalent to 2.6%. For a long time Germany was also the physical arm of the Catholic Church - ever since the forefather of Germany, Charlemagne, was crowned Emperor of Rome in the 9th Century. The relationship between Germany and the Catholic Church has soured slightly in latter years though; maybe because one of their emperors managed to drown on his way to a crusade, or maybe because another was excommunicated. Whatever the reason, in the 16th Century Germany hosted a little thing called the Reformation, changing the face of Christianity forever. While the Germans may have branched out they still stayed in the realm of the Christian faith, and today 68.7% of the country's population are still Christians, speaking to - if nothing else - their consistency.

8. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO - 63.21 MILLION










The second largest country in Africa, The Democratic Republic of Congo is also home to Africa’s second largest Christian population, with over 95% of its people identifying as such. Of its 63,210,000 Christians, about half are Catholic, and indeed the Catholic Church, administrator of many of the schools and hospitals in the Congo, has been called the only national institution in the country. The nation's faith is possibly a legacy from the Congo’s time spent as a colony of Belgium, another of which is the French language. French is the official language of the Congo, spoken as a first or second language by at least a third of the population, making it both the largest Francophone nation and the second largest population of French speakers in the world. Making up 2.9% of the world’s Christians, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the 8th most Christian nation in the world today.

7. CHINA – 68.41 MILLION












The largest total population on earth and one of the top 5 largest countries in the world by land area, perhaps China was always going to make this list - even though over half of its population do not identify with any religion. The largest religion in China is composed of a number of Folk faiths that predate the introduction of Christianity to China. Although just 5.1% of China's population of 1,341,340,000 are Christian, China has the world’s seventh largest Christian population. The 68,410,000 Chinese Christians make up 3.1% of adherents to the faith worldwide.

6. NIGERIA - 78.05 MILLION










Nigeria boasts the largest Christian population in Africa. The introduction of Christianity to Nigeria - and indeed much of Africa - during the 19th Century forms the major subject matter of Nigeria’s (and perhaps Africa’s) most famous novel worldwide; Chinua Achebe’s The Second Coming. While the events of that novel don't exactly put the brightest spin on the introduction of the Christian faith to Nigeria, this doesn't seem to have slowed its growth there in the least. 49.3% of all Nigerians - about 78,050,000 people - identify as Christian, 3.6% of the world total. Nigeria is Africa’s largest nation by population, and it might be the only nation to identify with the Irish holiday of Saint Patrick's day: Nigerian Christians can claim a link to Irish Christians, as they share a Patron saint in the person of none other than St. Patrick himself.

5. THE PHILIPPINES - 86.37 MILLION










Comprising 4% of the world’s Christians, there are 86,370,000 members of the Christian faith spread across the Philippine’s 7,107 islands making the Philippines Asia’s largest Christian country. The seventh most populous nation in Asia with a total population of 93,260,000, The Philippines get their name from the Spanish King Philip, who established a colony, and a religion, there in the mid-15th Century, a religion that must have caught on, with over 92% of its people identifying as Christian. Perhaps in the spirit of their colonizer, most of them are Catholic.

4. RUSSIA - 107.5 MILLION










The largest country in the world, taking a whole eight of the planet’s space into its boundaries, Russia straddles continents, making it, in some sense, the largest Christian country both in Asia and Europe. Out of its population of 142,960,000, 73.3% are Christian, showing that winter might have slowed down the armies of Napoleon and Germany but not that of the Christian missionaries. Unique to this list most of Russia’s 104,750,000 Christians are members of the Orthodox tradition, making them the largest population of Orthodox Christians in the world and the only Orthodox population to make it on our 10 Largest Christian populations list, contributing 4.8% of the World’s Christians.





3. MEXICO - 107.91 MILLION












Although Mexico’s first brush with Christianity during the tyranny of the Conquistadores will hardly be remembered as an example of international compassion, nevertheless this former colony of Spain, much like the Philippines, now makes up a substantial part of the world’s Christian population. A whole 5% of all Christians live in Mexico. These 107,910,000 adherents are overwhelmingly Catholic, in the tradition of their colonizer. They also make up the largest population of Spanish speakers in the world, no doubt contributing to the association of Hispanic peoples in North America with Catholicism. Mexico has the third most Christians in the Americas, as well as the third most Christians in the world, highlighting a recent trend in the distribution of Christians worldwide.

2. BRAZIL –173.3 MILLION










Brazil is not only the largest country in South America, it is also home of the world’s largest population of Catholics, and the second largest Christian country in the world, with over 173,300,000 members of the faith. A Catholic haven, this country illustrates better than any the shift of Catholicism from its traditional home in Italy, a fact attested to by the fact that the newest pope is a native of Argentina, making Pope Francis the first South American pope, attesting to Catholicism’s great migration. Brazil, an international power and a founding member of BRIC, is the perfect example of this shift to the Americas, with over 88.9% of its population identifying as Christian, making up a whole 8% of the world’s Christian population.

1. USA - 243.06 MILLION










Was there ever any doubt? With 243,060,000 adherents across fifty states, the United States of America is home to the world’s biggest population of Christians, making up 11.2% of the world's total. Which should come as no surprise considering its history. Back when the states were first been carved out by English landowners, many were founded to act as Christian havens. Pennsylvania was to be a sanctuary to threatened denominations such as the Anabaptists, who survive today in the form of the Amish communities of the US. Similarly Maryland, named after Mary Tudor of England, was a nice place for the British to send their excess Catholics, while almost the entire east bay became the home of Puritan protestants, seeking a new holy land away from the Catholic powers of Europe. Today, a smaller percentage of Americans are Christian than in the 19th Century - only 78.3% of the entire country - but considering that that the U.S. population exceeds 310,380,000 people, that's still an enormous number of Christians.

For the first time since her birth, we get to see a photo of Cardi B's daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus.

The photo which was released on Wednesday, October 3, 2018, has Cardi B spotted on a balcony taking photos of her daughter with a nanny carrying the adorable baby.

This photo obviously isn't an official one but this will be the first time we will be getting an up-close view of the daughter of the platinum rapper. It would be recalled that Cardi B and husband, Offset of the music group "Migos" welcomed their first child back in July 20.

Nice!

Slay queens how market?

mothers must be good examples to their kids

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to a woman for the first time in 55 years.

Donna Strickland, from Canada, is only the third woman winner of the award, along with Marie Curie, who won in 1903, and Maria Goeppert-Mayer, who was awarded the prize in 1963.

Dr Strickland shares this year's prize with Arthur Ashkin, from the US, and Gerard Mourou, from France.

It recognises their discoveries in the field of laser physics.

Dr Ashkin developed a laser technique described as optical tweezers, which is used to study biological systems.

Drs Mourou and Strickland paved the way for the shortest and most intense laser pulses ever created.

The last woman to win the physics prize, German-born American physicist Maria Goeppert-Mayer, took the prize for her discoveries about the nuclei of atoms.

Polish-born physicist Marie Curie shared the 1903 award with her husband Pierre Curie and Antoine Henri Becquerel for their research into radioactivity.

The award is worth a total of nine million Swedish kronor (£770,686; $998,618, ₦362,758,000).

Cern scientist suspended after comments

Reacting to her win, Dr Strickland, who is based at the University of Waterloo in Canada, said: "First of all you have to think it's crazy, so that was my first thought. And you do always wonder if it's real.

"As far as sharing it with Gerard, of course he was my supervisor and mentor and he has taken CPA (Chirped Pulse Amplification) to great heights so he definitely deserves this award. And I'm so happy Art Ashkin also won."

She added: "I think that he made so many discoveries early on that other people have done great things with that it's fantastic that he is finally recognised."

Before Strickland and Mourou's pioneering work, the peak power of laser pulses was limited because, when cranked up to high intensities, they would destroy the material used for amplifying its energy.

To get round this, the researchers first stretched the laser pulses in time to reduce their peak power, then amplified them and finally compressed them.

When a laser pulse is compressed in time and becomes shorter, more light is packed into a small space. This dramatically increases the intensity of the pulse.

Strickland and Mourou's technique, called chirped pulse amplification (CPA), became standard for high intensity lasers. It also found a use in laser therapy targeting cancer and in the millions of corrective laser eye surgeries which are performed each year.

Arthur Ashkin realised an old dream in science fiction - using the radiation pressure of light to move physical objects. In doing so, he invented the optical tweezers that are today used to grab particles, atoms, viruses and living cells with their laser-based pincers.

Ashkin first worked on getting laser light to push small particles towards the centre of the beam and hold them there.

Then, in 1987, he used the tweezers to capture living bacteria without harming them. The technique is now used widely to study the machinery of life.
In a statement, the American Institute of Physics (AIP) offered its congratulations to all the winners, adding: "The countless applications made possible by their work, like laser eye surgery, high-power pettawat lasers, and the ability to trap and study individual viruses and bacteria, only promise to increase going forward.

"It is also a personal delight to see Dr Strickland break the 55-year hiatus since a woman has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, making this year's award all the more historic."

Previous winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics

2017 - Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish earned the award for the detection of gravitational waves.

2016 - David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz shared the award for their work on rare phases of matter.

2015 - Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald were awarded the prize the discovery that neutrinos switch between different "flavours".

2014 - Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura won the physics Nobel for developing the first blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

2013 - Francois Englert and Peter Higgs shared the spoils for formulating the theory of the Higgs boson particle.

2012 - Serge Haroche and David J Wineland were awarded the prize for their work with life and matter.

Congrats to her.

A mom has been arrested for allowing her 10-year-old son to get a tatoo — by a teenage artist — because she was allegedly tired of the boy begging to get inked, according to Columbus, Ohio, TV station
The news outlet reported that 34-year-old Nikki Dickinson was charged with first-degree misdemeanor child endangerment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after a video of the tattoo session went viral.

Court documents obtained by the news station read that the 16-year-old tattoo artist — identified by the Bellefontaine Examiner as Kyle Richardson of Lakeview — often gives tattoos at his home. WSYX/WTTE also reported that the teen may have tattooed someone who subsequently developed MRSA, a staph infection.

The Bellefontaine Examiner reported that the artist was charged with “performing tattoos in a manner that doesn’t meet safety and sanitation standards, and tattooing in a manner that does not meet sterilization and disinfection standards.”

“It bothered me. I’m a father and I’m a grandfather,” said one law official in the news segment, which showed a video of the boy (whose face was blurred out, along with the face of a woman on whose lap he sat) getting his arm tattooed by a young man.

Last week, an onslaught of outraged Facebook comments led to multiple calls to the Bellefontaine Police Department (a representative of which did not return Yahoo Lifestyle’s request for comment). “The phone has not stopped ringing,” the officer told WSYX/WTTE. “We’ve gotten calls from several different states [from] people that are concerned about the welfare of this child.



The Sept. 24 video was posted to Facebook by Ohio resident Storm Harrington. Commenters were shocked by the “ridiculous” incident and someone noted that the artist wasn’t wearing gloves during the session. Others balked at what they said looked like a syringe lying on his table.

A man on Facebook named Jawdyn Ford, who identified himself as Dickinson’s nephew, told Yahoo Lifestyle he doesn’t have further details beyond the news report.

According to WSYX/WTTE, when officers visited the home of the child last week, the boy admitted to asking his mom for the tattoo. However, when the station’s reporter communicated with Dickinson via Facebook messenger, she wrote that the video was “fake” but refused to provide further details.

Municipal prosecutor Daniel D. Careycould not be reached for comment. However, he told the Bellefontaine Examiner that Dickinson allowed the tattoo to take place in “unsafe and unsanitary conditions” and “encouraged and enabled” Richardson to perform the service.

While Dickinson does face charges, it is not necessarily illegal to tattoo a minor in Ohio. According to state law, “No person shall perform a tattooing procedure, body piercing procedure, or ear piercing procedure with an ear piercing gun on an individual who is under eighteen years of age unless consent has been given by the individual’s parent, guardian, or custodian in accordance with division (B) of this section.”

Section B then states that a parent, guardian, or custodian of the minor must appear in person at the business during the time the procedure is performed and sign a document provided by the business that outlines details of the procedure and proper aftercare of the body area. However, the state laws also require that the procedure meet safety and sanitation standards.

The Bellefontaine Examiner reports that the incident was reported to Logan County Children’s Services.

Nice one.. But this proposing in public can actually make a girl say yes out of pity, force or coercion..
Keep it nice and simple. You must not make a news out of it

I still dont approve it..

A Nigerian lady on Facebook, Sharon Joseph, is mourning the death of her friend who passed away just 19-days after her wedding.



According to her, late Amara who was pregnant was beaten to death by her husband in a shocking case of domestic violence.



'How can I explain that after 19days of marriage you died with your baby still in the womb as a result of domestic violence? Annunciation Convent most especially 2009 set will miss you' she wrote.

I am a Christian, and i tell you, Christianity is gradually turning into something else.. Hypocrites everywhere..
Most ladies who expose their nudes online are Christians... Most scandalous celebs are Christians..
I respect Islam for how they dress modestly and deal honestly..
I prefer to do business with an average Muslim than average Christian..

Thank God for the few silent Christians whose lifestyle and character are examplary..

The guy above me said it all.. But Atiku's point is very valid. Jonathan's administration carried all tribes and religion along. In buhari's administration, the south south, yoruba Christians, south east, middlebelt and northern Christians are not carried along.. Shame on this administration.
