Workers of Hitech, Seach Energy and ITB currently working on the Eko Atlantic city project took to the street Wednesday 15th July, 2015 protesting the working conditions and drastic short-change in the salaries. www.Happenings.com.ng spoke to some of the workers who claim that as against the promise of $100­ (N19, 895) per day promised by the management they have been receiving N900.00, they also said that there is discrimination in the way the local workers are treated compared to the foreign workers.

They claim the leaders of their union are corrupt and demand that their employer reviews the terms of agreement and also provide safety, security and an improved working condition since it’s a World project.

The Eko Atlantic city’s story started in 2003 when the Lagos State Government was in search of a permanent solution to protect Bar Beach in Victoria Island from the effects of severe coastal erosion, and to safeguard Victoria Island from the threat of flooding.

A 30 year old woman from Zimbabwe, Marie has narrated a shocking tale about how her husband who died four years ago lives, has sex with her and has vowed to leave her alone only when she breaths her last! ( Huh Strange things we hear).

The widow is crying for help to enable her live a normal life.

Her story:

"I have gone through enough of this spiritual warfare. I'm a 30-year-old widow and my husband died 4 years ago when I was 26 years old. We had just gotten married when he died in a horrific car accident and died on the spot.

That was five months after we had been married. I got so emotional pain that I would mysteriously see him every night. He would be crying whilst looking at me and I thought I was dreaming.

Three months later, I felt like someone was waking me up at night and I was shocked to see him in my bedroom, sitting by side of the bed. I wanted to scream but he held my mouth and said he had come to help me since he had seen that I was suffering a lot.

I asked him how that was possible when he was dead and he said although we had buried him, his spirit had not departed. He said he still wanted to be with me for some time. He said he would look after me but he warned me against telling people about this development.

He said I should not tell even his own mother and I agreed not to. Since then, we have been living together as husband and wife with the ghost of my dead husband. He would buy groceries, pay rentals and all.

Then there is a church I visited early this year and the pastor preached about not interacting with the dead. So now I want to stop living with this dead man but I don't know how to go about it.

I really loved my husband and even up to now, I still love him dearly. He has never changed. He still is exactly like he was before he died. But what I have noticed is that he is not growing older. He still is exactly as he was when he died four years ago.

I don't even have feelings for any other man. I feel like I'm a married woman. Our sex life has never changed. It's still as it was before my husband died. But now I'm scared that I'm living with a corpse in the house. Maybe it's because I'm now going to church. I have also not stayed with anyone in my house since my husband died. I always live alone.

At church, our pastor was once attacked with the demon of another man and the man of God collapsed, then became conscious later on. It's evident that if I ask him to pray for my husband's spirit to go away, that would be way beyond his powers.

A bearded woman who endured years of bullying and almost attempted suicide has spoken about her new-found body confidence.

Harnaam Kaur, 24, of Berkshire suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome and first started growing a thick facial hair at the age of just 11.

She tried to wax, bleach and shave the hair which had also started coming through on her chest and arms but finally decided to stop after being baptised as a Sikh, a religion which forbids the cutting of body hair.

Speaking during an appearance on This Morning, Harnaam said: “At the end of the day, I love myself and the way that I’m formed.

“Going through primary and secondary school with the facial hair, kids can be nasty. It led me to self harm and wanting to take my own life.”

She was a split second away from taking an overdose with a handful of tablets when she decided to channel her negative energy into something more positive.

“It take a lot of strength to say, ‘I want to kill myself’,” Harnaam said. “A split second is all it took. That thought process really empowered me to just carry on with life.

“I’m more spiritual now than I am religious, I live my life the way I see fit. I stand for what I am. To be labelled as a woman you can look however you want.”

Harnaam is now working on a campaign to show that name-calling has a big impact with anti-bullying charity Fixers and appears in a short film with her brother.

“The reaction has been amazing and people have found it so powerful,” she said.

Three women tortured a man by pressing burning hair tongs and a cigarette lighter on to his genitals when they found he had dated three people at once, a court has heard.

The trio also taunted the victim with a pizza cutter in what was described as like a scene from Reservoir Dogs.
Lorraine Earles, 47, Natalie Lilley, 19, Leah White, 22, along with male defendant Brendan Teale, 27, had plotted revenge on the victim for allegedly seeing several women at a time and lured him to a flat in Scarborough before strapping him to a chair.

The three women and one man then carried out a prolonged attack on the victim, who was also forced to drink liquid wash before having the hot curling tongs pressed to his genitals.

York Crown Court heard one of his tormentors also burnt him with a cigarette lighter as the others laughed and giggled.

During the torture he also had a pizza cutter pressed to his cheek and was punched, kicked and slapped repeatedly.

The court heard Earles bit the man’s ear, pushed his head down to his knees and used a cigarette lighter to burn the back of his neck, before threatening to suffocate him as she put a scarf around his mouth.

She then ordered White to burn his genitals with hair curling tongs before pulling the chair back, causing him to fall backwards onto the floor.

Leah White, who also took part in the attack, which saw the man have burning hot hair tongs pressed on his genitals
The frightening escalation of the assault prompted White and Lilley to alert Teale, who was reputedly the ringleader of the assault and took part in the beating, but had retired to a bedroom before Earles upped the ante in a scene reminiscent of the bloody Quentin Tarantino film.

So you think you are really good in bed and pride yourself on being able to make a woman orgasm during intercourse?

If so, then you must be made aware of the 2 types of women who are immune to your porn-star abilities. Both of these women are vastly different from one another but have one big thing in common.

They cannot be held sexually loyal to your ‘bed-matics”, so do not get emotionally involved with either. If not, they will be the downfall not only to your self-esteemed cunt-championship but also do irreparable damage to your sexual street cred. That said, the following shall convey the two women and how each type is detrimental to a male’s sexual pleasing psyche.

The first type of woman to never get seriously involved with is the "Wet Pant" babe.

This type of girl is the most sexually misleading to a males ego of sexual performance. Why you may ask? Because she can climb that mountain anytime, anyplace with anybody. That's right; she can literally watch porn and get off.

She requires no real effort and no real talent to get her off. That means any Fatai can get her sing, all he needs to do is a few push-ups and she’s good. You would be wasting your reputation and destroying your sexual street credit when you get involved with girls who can orgasm like most guys pass gas.

Most of you guys would think that a “Wet Pants" girl would be great. So how is that detrimental to a sexual dynamo guy?

Well, if you are a guy who brings women pleasure because most other guys cum and run, then you are the pleasure king. But, If you are with a woman like this, then there is nothing sexual you can hold over her head and as such that title doesn’t fit your head.

The deal is this; most women like the fact that their man can please them if they are lucky to find one but this kind of girl can get it anywhere. So if she can get off with anything then what is holding her sexual lust just for you? Nothing. She wouldn’t realize the talent you possess, be impressed by how long your stamina is or the fact that you can get her off during intercourse (which most guys can't do anyway due to pre-ejaculation before the job is done). So you would be wasting your time with someone who cannot appreciate your skills that most regular women desire.

I am sure the excitement following the return of the English Premier League knows no bound; with a total of 24 goals scored in the opening matches of the league - top clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all justified their transfer conquest while the talking point was Manchester United’s unbelievably loss to Swansea at Old Trafford.

Before Saturday 16th August 2014, Manchester United had not lost a league opener at home since 1972 and Swansea had never won a league game at Old Trafford, but the Swans stunned Louis van Gaal and Manchester United 2-1 to (temporarily) move to the top of the league.

Talking about setting records and breaking one: Coach Luis Van Gaal creates a record on his debut as the first MUFC manager to lose at home on the opening day of a Premier League season, while ‘captain’ Wayne Rooney becomes the first skipper to lose at home in the same regard.

I am not disputing the fact that Rooney can play a huge role with his strength,midfield and attacking presence. Considering the striker’s unpredictability in the recent years, the club will be relying on him to find form as they hope to claim the Premier League for the 21st time this season.

However, the bigger problem is not him finding form per say, it’s his ability not to drift off in a game or a huge part of the season when things aren’t going according to plan. Hence, the striker’s ability is proportional to his mood which is later darkened by external factors such as negative reports from the press, pressure from the manager and rejection from the fans. Putting all these into consideration, Luis Vaan Gal went ahead to name Rooney the new Manchester United captain which has caused a major upset in world of football and the question on everyone’s mind is: “Will he be able to deliver as a captain or not”

Do you know that it is better to be involved with more than one partner? Yea, think about it guys. It is safer, it helps narrow your end choice, plus it is much more fun and exciting too. Okay, remember the business idea of having a plan A, B, C,….., even “Z” if possible ? Exactly. I know most of you will say, not in this case; you prefer to be faithful, trust-worthy, supportive, blablablah… but we all know where that leave us most times right? The heart break story, which is what most of us have suffered.

Now, think of it this way, if you had had a plan “B”; when the girl said she was no longer interested - you could have just dusted off your shoulders, picked up your phone and called “Labake” (lol…I’m just kidding, maybe not that name but you get what I mean). Moreover, what better way to get over somebody than to get on another?

Look guys, if we were in the 90s, we will probably be worrying about STDs and all that; but BRO, this is the 21st century – we now have a life safer called a “Condom” (protector of the Manhood): so you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Well, most of us want to get married at the end of the day right? Have kids, a lovely home, nice fast cars, peace of mind and a beautiful wife to top it all; but you ain’t gonna get none of that shit if you make the wrong choice dude. Yea, it’s that bad. A wrong wife is like hell on earth, trust me. So what I’m saying is this – just like watching TV; browse through different channels. Don’t fix yourself up and get stuck to one station all in the name of being patriotic. Go out, mingle, toast/woo as many chicks as you can (remember, na your money they talk); and sign them up as your girlfriends without either of them knowing or suspecting. If they do, you have no idea what kind of trouble you will be in. Have you heard the phrase “hell has no fury like a woman scorned?” the reality of that is what you’ll get. Well, that’s a topic for a later date.

Women have drama, no doubt, but hey, guys are a little twisted too? It’s crazy because we guys love to hide behind that fine sewed suit, blinged up watch, polished shoes and probably dark shades; just to “man up” or “be the man” like the popular phrase goes. But beneath all that, it’s a whole different ball-game.

Yes there are different “Kinds” of men but I think the ladies are right when they say “men are the same”. Now, hold-on. Before you crucify me, just listen to my reasons. Aside from the fact that we all make the same ugly face when we want to “CUM”: we all have one thing that unite us “Drama”. Trust me, we deal with a whole range of drama(s). It could be hustle drama, boss drama, financial drama, temperamental drama, relationship drama and even marital drama: and trust me, the last two are really a mouthful – it makes us visit the clubs, joints, amongst others: all in the name of “Boys Night Out”.

Let me tell you a secret. The phrase “Boys Night Out” or “Ladies Night Out”? it’s nothing…just bullshit!. It’s simply the perfect excuse for us to relax and just breath – like taking a chill pill and ranting to our fellows on how incredible our drama is; and how our pressure pipe is about to explode. So, if your partner tells you he is going for a “Boys Night Out” tomorrow; my dear, turn to Jesus.

Growing up will always have its fun memories: Memories that we’ll carry through to our adult life and even transfer to our kids as bed time stories (although, we most times change the names of the characters in the story); but we still cherish them always.

These (memories) could be our experiences on the play-ground, a little trick or prank we play on our parents/sibling, our activities in school or even interesting things we see/watch. Do you remember these cartoons: Birdman, Tom And Jerry, Ghost Riders, Little Mermaid, Mark 5, Voltron, Popeye The Sailor? What of movies like Terminator, Rambo, Sound Of Music, Mard and kids favorite “Seven Lucky Kids or Lucky Seven” whichever way you prefer to call them. Oh, these are great times of the 90s you know?

“Seven Lucky Kids” was about children with superior martial arts skills who stumble into excitement and adventure in the action comedy movie. It started with one of the kids accidentally stumbling upon the scene of a murder, and shortly before the victim gave up, he gives the boy a valuable diamond, with instructions to give it to a woman with a rose. As the kid and his pals try to figure out what to do, they discover a group of gangsters are also on the trail of the jewel, and their talents are put to the test.

“Who's that girl?” That's what millions said in 1994 when Jenny from the block was first spotted on the Los Angeles music scene. She was a sweet beauty, whose charm got everyone hooked like a spell cast in the air. The ladies could have resisted the charm, but her lovely voice and smashing hits songs were hypnotizing; while the men didn’t have much of a choice: especially with the swinging of her cavernous behind.

Basically, Jennifer Lopez was the perfect definition of beauty and power. However, her musical success and sexy figure were not the only things that drew fans attention rather, things the lady could do with that figure attracted people more.

J.Lo (as she is popularly called) embraces her wardrobe with no fear and with a sexy, curvaceous body- the diva understands what looks good on her curvy figure and is not afraid to high light one of her powerful assets, “the butt”; that’s if we say so ourselves.

Mercy Aigbe at first glance strikes you as that outgoing vibrant relatable fashionista who just loves to have fun, fun, and even more fun- The perfect picture of a happy person who absolutely loves life. While this may be true, this Benin sweetheart has proved time and again that there’s a lot more to the dolled up Mercy as her versatile acting skills boldly declare.

The Diva who is a delight for sore eyes and bored minds sits in this engaging and exclusive interview with Happenings Magazine and dishes with effortless humor, her consistent hard work as an actress including the production of her own comedy ‘Osas’ inspired by her feature in Papa Ajasco.

Happenings: How did you feel when you won the ‘Best indigenous language Yoruba award at the AMVCA?

Mercy Aigbe: For me it was a moment of joy, I was overwhelmed because I wasn’t really expecting my movie to win due to the other contenders in the category; I was very excited when I got called up. For me AMVCA is like our own Oscars, so it was a great honor for me.

Happenings: How have you been able to combine acting with your personal life and family?

Mercy Aigbe: It hasn’t been easy combining my career with being a wife and mother; it’s a lot of hard work. It is difficult striking a balance between these three important roles, like I tell people I have a very understanding partner – my husband is fantastic and always there for me, I am also blessed with a mum who is very supportive and accommodating who helps to baby sit my kids when I’m on set, and not forgetting my domestic staffs who help with the house chores.

Happenings: Have you been put in a position where you had to play a romantic or sexual scene properly?

Mercy Aigbe: A bit, but not too deep.

Happenings: Does your husband react to it?

Mercy Aigbe: My husband knows I am a professional when it comes to acting, he met me as an actress and he knows I give my best when it comes to my job. Maybe he gets jealous and he doesn’t show it, but I haven’t done anything that he wouldn’t like. He has been supportive of my career so far.

Happenings: Which is your most challenging role so far?

Mercy Aigbe: Every movie I have featured in was challenging but the most challenging role I have played so far is ‘Osas’ – the character is a comic one, it wasn’t easy because I had no experience in comedy and it was also challenging because I had to learn my native language which I don’t speak fluently. I was the producer, the script writer and I played the lead character.

Some celebrities are blessed with money and they certainly have a right to spend it the way they want to. While most of us will be happy with a DVD, t-shirt or perhaps a nice new watch from our loved ones, the rich and famous will be expecting a little bit more as they unwrap their presents while sipping Kristal Champagne in front of their queens.

Therefore, when celebrities start handing out gifts to their loved ones, it is guaranteed that we will see some of the most expensive and outrageous presents in the world. Here is a list of the top 5 most expensive celebrity gifts ever.

1. Beyonce Knowles to Jay-Z – $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

Both are rich and famous. Jay-Z was composing and producing songs left and right for different artists, but it was Beyonce who stole his heart. Or maybe, it was Jay-Z who stole Beyonce’s heart. Regardless, Beyonce had been advising girls to ask their guys to put a ring on it; otherwise, just let him know that nobody is irreplaceable.

So Jay-Z did just that and as a result, he now has the girl to go along with his fame and fortune. To top it all, that girl has taste and money of her own, both of which were good enough to buy him a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport worth a cool $2 million. This eight-liter, mid-engine car can go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.46 seconds and can brake from 100 kilometers per hour to full stop within 31.4 meters. Definitely, a super car for a super couple.

Usher has had some highs and lows in terms of his fashion choices over the years, but who hasn't? The RNB superstar takes risks at times and isn't afraid to try the latest and future trends.

He is akin to the leader of the new musical age and a trend setter. He is one of the very few that walks the red carpet in a buttoned down shirt and still looks good. The 2000 Teen Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Califonia is a perfect example. Usher arrived shirtless in a white fur jacket, white cap, and majorly blinged-out necklaces. Then again, who needs a shirt when you have abs like the ‘got it bad’ crooner?
