http://bazesurf..com.ng/2017/06/gay-dads-are-pregnant-with-their-first.html

Two gay dads, who already have two adopted kids, are about to welcome their first biological child. Biff Chaplow and Trystan Reese have expressed delight at experiencing what it's like to create a child and watch it develop in the womb before welcoming it into the world. They did not have that with their first two so they are happy to experience this "normal" birth process, according to them.

The couple, who live in Portland, Oregon, adopted Biff's niece and nephew, Hailey and Riley, after Biff's sister suffered substance abuse problems in 2011. Though they loved being parents to the 6 and 9-year-olds, they always longed to have a baby of their own, so Trystan, who is transgender, tried for a baby and he first managed to conceive in 2016 but they suffered a miscarriage at six weeks.

They wanted to wait a year before trying again but because of the medical complications of Trystan having to go off testosterone, they decided to continue right away. Luckily for them, Trystan has taken in again and they confirmed that he's due to give birth this summer. Trystan explained on their website why he wanted to become pregnant as a transgender person. He said he knew people were curious but were too afraid to ask.

He said that some people think "trans people were born into the wrong bodies, and we really hate our bodies, and that’s why we need to transition. For me, just transitioning normally - taking testosterone so that I have a beard and my voice is deep as it's ever gonna get - and appear like a man… that’s enough for me. I never felt like I needed to change my body. And I for sure do not hate my body. I feel like my body is awesome, I feel like it’s a gift to have been born with the body that I did. So if you can start to understand that, then it starts to make more sense that it would not seem totally bizarre for me to want to create and carry a baby."

Biff also revealed in a podcast that both him and Trystan had been very cautious in the early stages of the pregnancy. Trystan weighed himself "obsessively" and kept taking repeated pregnancy tests. Just before the six-week test, Trystan called the doctor to tell them he was a trans-dad and worried about what the experience would be like. Trystan also revealed in the podcast that he would feel people looking at his face for signs and remnants of womanhood because of his pregnancy.

He said: "They kind of squint their eyes a little bit and I can tell they're trying to take away my beard, they're trying to de-transition me in their heads."

The couple said they have stopped having those fears, which they noticed were unfounded. Their doctors are also very positive that everything will go well while the couple are expecting that the baby will be a boy and are already joking that it's "diagnosis male".

A young woman who survived horrific acid attack ties the knot

- The lady’s face and physical beauty was completely ruined by acid

- She reportedly went through 17 surgeries in attempts to fix her face

- She was left with huge scar on face and lost hope in ever finding love

- Then this strange phone call arrived. She had just met her husband

Love is many things! But how would you describe a situation where a man falls madly in love with a woman whose facial beauty was totally ruined by acid? You call it true love!

That is what happened when Rahul Kumar, now a bridegroom, met Lalita Benbansi, his bride. The two knew nothing much about each other. Benbansi, a young woman who suffered dream-shattering acid attack five years ago, never saw this love coming.

She was reportedly assaulted by her cousin who splashed acid on her face during family dispute. It took a whopping 17 surgeries to reconstruct her face. However, the scar left behind made her lose hope in ever finding love.



Acid attack victim ties the knot in colourful wedding ceremony.
Following the acid attack, Benbansi developed serious doubts on ever meeting a man who would see her beyond the physical beauty and for who she was rather than how she looked. But she was wrong.

One fateful day, she received a strange phone call from a strange man. On the other end of the line was Kumar, her soon to be husband.


Rahul Kumar, the bridegroom and Lalita Benbansi, his bride.
The two had allegedly met during some awareness programme that was being run by the Sahas foundation. What Benbansi probably didn’t know was that Kumar was interested from that very first day that he saw her.

“I had always wanted to do something very special and extraordinary on my life. I believed I was going to do something good someday and my parents have always stood by me. What I didn’t know yet was that meeting Benbansi would change my life,” says Kumar.


Benbansi suffered an acid attack five years ago.
He saw her beauty and fell madly in love with it. Congratulatory messages have been trickling in to Kumar and his newly wedded wife Benbansi.

It is amazing how ladies has taken it as a tradition to fight over a man whom they are not sure would spend the rest of their life with them.

Just recently at the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Ekewan campus in Benin, Edo state, two ladies were reported to have beaten themselves over an alleged boyfriend snatching mess.
It was gathered that one of the ladies identified as Becky was said to have stabbed the other lady on the head and left her battling for her life.


However, people who witnessed the scene disclosed that they were not sure what exactly the two ladies were fighting for but concluded saying it was either over a boy or wrapper.

Tushpot posted on Instagram that: “This photo is of two undergraduate students of University of Benin in the Ekewan campus of the University. Becky is said to have stabbed Heritage in the head and Heritage is at the moment battling for her life. While some say it is over a boy, others say it is over a wrapper. Please say a prayer for Heritage!”

Manchester United on Wednesday night completed what will be termed a very successful season by defeating Ajax 2-0 to win the UEFA Europa League final, guaranteeing the Old Trafford club a place in next season's UEFA Champions league tournament.




Two goals from Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mhikitaryan was all Jose Mourinho needed to win his third trophy (League Cup, Community shield, Europa league) of the season- a tactical win that showed Man U's experience over Ajax who had more of the possession and more passes.

Congrats to Man U.

http://bazesurf..com.ng/2017/05/photos-31-african-migrants-including.html

At least 31 African migrants including young children drowned on Wednesday when they fell off an overloaded vessel in the Mediterranean Sea
"This morning our crew on board the Phoenix reported that they were engaged in the rescue of a large wooden boat carrying several hundreds of people" said a spokesperson for Maltese NGO, Migrant Offshore Station (MOAS).

The migrants were on a wooden boat carrying between 500 and 700 people and were just 20 nautical miles off the Libyan coast when the accident happened.
The crew of the Phoenix aid boat, chartered by MOAS, had begun the rescue and were distributing lifejackets when many of those on deck fell into the water, perhaps knocked off balance by a wave.
"In a terrible series of events, hundreds of people ended up in the water, whilst assets scrambled to save as many lives as possible. While the Phoenix managed to rescue 600+ children, women and men, our crew has also recovered 31 bodies in the process, including those of a few toddlers."
"Not a scene from a horror movie... Real life tragedy unfolding on Europe's doorstep today!," said Chris Catrambone,

MOAS co-founder, who was aboard the Phoenix and published photos showing white body bags lined up on the deck.
"Rescuers are frantically trying to break open the locked hold on a wooden boat where hundreds of migrants are trapped!" he tweeted.

With the help of an Italian coast guard ship and several commercial ships, rescuers raced to drag as many people as possible from the water, while a military aircraft dropped life-rafts and a helicopter looked for survivors.
"Current body count at 31," Catrambone said, adding many who fell overboard had been "small toddlers".

About 15 relief operations were under way on Wednesday off Libya in total, the coast guard said.

Troops of 6 Division, Nigerian Army shot dead a notorious cultist during a gun duel in Sime community, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers on Tuesday morning.
The Division’s Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Aminu IIiyasu, who disclosed this to newsmen in Port Harcourt, said that the deceased cultist identified as the Supreme, was the leader of Dey Bam secret cult group, responsible for extra judicial killings in the state.

The late cultist was on the wanted list of Rivers Police command. One suspected cultist was arrested while several others fled the scene with gunshot wounds in the operation that lasted several hours.


"Troops of 29 Battalion deployed to Ebubu, Eleme LGA and the anti-robbery team deployed along Port Harcourt–Akwa Ibom road conducted a successful raid operation in Sime community," he said.
"During the operation, the troops engaged in gun duel with members of the notorious Dey Bam cult group led by one Mr Supreme, who has been on the wanted list of Rivers government. Supreme was shot during the gun battle and later died as a result of excessive bleeding while several others (suspected cultists) escaped with gunshot wounds.
"One SIGP228 pistol with registration number 299MME225 and ten rounds of 9mm ammunition were recovered during the raid," he added.
Iliyasu said one suspected cultist was arrested and handed over to Rivers Police command for further investigation.

According to him, the division has already deployed troops to strategic locations to safeguard lives and properties of residents of the state.
"Cultists and other criminal elements are hereby warned to desist from wicked acts and embrace the amnesty programme currently being offered by Rivers government. The division urges the residents to assist it with credible information that will lead to the arrest of criminals in their domain," he said.

UNN Plans a Make Up Burial Ceremony for Chinua Achebe Four Years After Demise

---

The University of Nigeria, UNN has expressed a desire to celebrate iconic Chinua Achebe with a befitting ceremonial procession to make up what was performed during his burial.

According to news from The Guardian, the Institute of African Studies, University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) has scheduled May 22-25, 2017 to hold discussions on the life and times of the late literary icon, Prof. Chinua Achebe, to remember him four years after his death.

Director of the Institute, Prof. Emeka Nwabueze, stated that the event would provide an renewed opportunity to remember the life and creative abilities of late Prof. Achebe as a literary colossus, four years after his demise.

Nwabueze told newsmen at the institute that the African icon and a crucial personality in the life of the University wuld deserve more than what he got from his burial and that the Institute of african Studies was ready to correct that.

Nwabueze said: “Achebe from the institute’s perspective was not accorded befitting burial as a world class author and one who used his literally works to promote African tradition and culture.

“As Igbo people who believe in four days of “Orie, Afor, Nkwo and Eke,” we felt that the right thing to do is to give this natural Igbo phenomenon four years before celebrating him. We are in the “Eke” of Chinua Achebe’s death and we are determined to correct the short-comings during burial and that is why we are rolling out drums to celebrate him.”

The Director recalled to his listeners how the Senior research follow of the Institute used to produce world dazzling literary contributions from his second floor of the Hansberry building.

“It was in this office that this great writer hibernated, ruminated, poured his ideas on papers, took snacks, received visitors and generated his official correspondence. As a research fellow of the institute, he contributed to the growth and success of the institute,” he said.

The director also added co-chair the occassion would be Alhaji Balarabe Musa and Maj.-Gen. Ike Nwachukwu along side other personalities who are expected to grace the commemoration such as Governors Willy Obiano of Anambra State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State.

The highlight of the four-day event will consist the official opening of Chinua Achebe’s office, which was last opened in 1990 when he celebrated his 60th birthday.
