A non-religious son who mockingly prayed for God to let his mother win the lottery was stunned after she hit the $1 million jackpot the next day.
Sal Bentivegna, 28, jokingly prayed for his 61-year-old mother Gloria to win the lottery after she lost money at a casino on a family trip to Atlantic City.
Miraculously Mrs Bentivegna then won the New York Lottery's Sweet Million game and will receive $50,000 a year for the next 20 years.
Speaking to the New York Post, Mr Bentivegna told how he sarcastically told his mother to 'ask your God to ask for a million dollars,' shortly after she lost out on a penny slots machine.
Being a good Catholic, she refused.
So instead Mr Bentivegna went ahead and prayed: 'God, I don't know if you're real or not, but if you are there, please let my mother win a million dollars.
'It was off the cuff at the slot machines,' he added.
'If Jesus wants me to believe in him, that's what he'll do.'
The very next day Mrs Bentivegna bought a 'lotto tree' of unscratched instant win tickets from a Church charity auction and struck gold.
The seemingly devine intervention has seen Mr Bentivegna become a believer.
He said: 'Lo and behold, she gets it the next day. I sat back and thought about it and realised the odds against this are astronomical.
'I can't shrug off that Jesus had a hand in it. No pun intended, it was a Godsend.'
Mrs Bentivegna, thrilled at her win and her son's conversion, said: 'God performed two miracles, a true miracle.'

Okafor's Law of Congodynamics
C1 + P = C∞
It states that once a Congo has been shined once (C1) , it can always be shined (C∞ ) provided it was shined properly ( P) the previous times.

In scientific circles, opinion is divided as to whether it is actually a law or just a hypothesis. There is a large body of evidence to suggest that it is a law but there are others who think it is merely a hypothesis and does not take into account other variables such as M (marital status), O (opportunity) and F (Financial status) of either one or both of the parties.

Now having read through, I want responses on how true and reliable this law is.
1. Has anyone ever fallen victim of this law? 2. Does it apply to only females? 3. Does it have a validity period? 4. Are there other laws or hypotheses by this scientist called Okafor? 5. What does the name Okafor really mean?

5 Wives helping out their husbands in a fight
Deuteronomy 25:11–12 reads: “When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets.” Translation: Just sit back and enjoy. If your man wins, then more power to you for marrying Chuck Norris. If he loses, just deal with the fact that you married a wimp.
4 Round haircuts
Leviticus 19:27 reads: “You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads . . .” Translation: The Beatles and Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber are already burning in hell.
3 Or trimming your beard
Leviticus 19:27 reads: “neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.” Translation: Just make sure you keep a clean-cut style. No goatee, beards, or mustaches allowed . . . ever. 2 Divorcing with your lying, cheating partner 1 Corinthians 7:10–11 reads: “To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife.” Translation: Don’t pay attention to your spouse if he’s cheating on you, beats the crap out of you, doesn’t work, makes you feel less like a human, and so on; especially if you’re a woman. Just suck it up and honor your marriage. Ahhh! Sometimes I can truly understand how feminists got so mad at men and society.
1 Eating cheeseburgers
Leviticus 3:17 reads: “It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.” Translation: The day I learned this I decided I wanted to be a Buddhist. I mean cheeseburgers are full of fat, right?

The Bible is considered one of the most widely read books in the world and for many Jews and Christians is considered an absolute authority in guiding their morality and beliefs. However, many Christians nowadays commit sin after sin on a daily basis without even realizing it. See, the Bible forbids many of the things people love to do and in all honesty there’s nothing wrong with most of these things, at least by modern standards and the current status quo. Since this topic is a little too sensitive though, we won’t say much more but will instead list chapters and lines from the books of the Bible that forbid some of the most normal and awesome things one could ever imagine, but nevertheless, you be the judge.
25 CONSULLTING PSYCHICS

Leviticus 19:31 reads: “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.” Translation: Truth be told, the idiots who spend a fortune getting “advice” from such con artists deserve whatever they get.
24 Women wearing sexy clothes
1 Timothy 2:9 reads: “I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety.” Translation: This one should make every insecure, jealous husband and boyfriend happy.
23 Masturbating
1 Corinthians 6:18 reads: “Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.” Translation: Jim Levenstein from American Pie doesn’t seem to be so stupid all of a sudden, huh? Dude knew how to do his thing and at the same time avoid sin, too.
22 Watching Porn
Matthew 5:28 reads: “But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Translation: Whoops! Does it count if you just watch porn for educational purposes?

21 Wearing bling

1 Timothy 2:9 reads: “Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments.” Translation: We still can’t be sure about who killed 2Pac and Notorious BIG, but we know for sure that these two legendary rappers (just like most rappers who respect themselves) wore enough gold chains during their short lives that unfortunately might have cost them eternally.
20 Eating bacon (or pork in general)
Leviticus 11:7–8 reads: “And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven- footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.”
19 Tearing your clothes(ragged jeans)
Leviticus 10:6 reads: “And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.” Translation: Billy Idol, Steven Tyler, Tommy Lee, Ozzy Osborne, Slash, and so many other rock stars (and their fans) shouldn’t worry about all the sex and drugs they’ve had and done because their jeans and horrible T-shirts have done enough damage already.
18 Eating “weird” little animals
Leviticus 11:28–29 reads: “These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.” Translation: I don’t know about you guys but I am part French. That means I’ve eaten enough snails to book a ticket straight to hell.
17 Getting tattooed
Leviticus 19:28 reads: “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” Translation: The little dolphin you tattooed on your butt cheek at age seventeen during spring break while you were drunk off your ass has ultimately condemned you eternally.
16 Getting remarried after getting divorced
Mark 10:11–12 reads: “Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.” Translation: I truly feel sorry for Elizabeth Taylor right now.
15 Gossiping
Leviticus 19:16 reads: “Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am the LORD.” Translation: Say what you wanna say about your fat friend or bald-headed boss right to their face.
14 Pigging out every now and then
Proverbs 23:2 reads: “. . . And put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.” Translation: That’s why I try to pig out every day.
13 Women Speaking in Church
1 Corinthians 14:34 reads: “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.” Translation: A rare moment when even in the twenty-first century a man can tell a woman to shut the hell up and not be accused of being misogynistic and sexist.
12 Being gay and stuff
Leviticus 18:22 reads: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Translation: You can be the most kind-hearted, the most generous, the most helpful, the best Christian who won’t commit any of the other sins included in the Bible but your sexual preference makes you an illegal alien . . . from heaven, that is.
11 Playing American football
Leviticus 11:7–8 reads: “And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven- footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.” Translation: Stick to soccer or baseball.
10 Premarital sex
There’s no point in listing one of the countless chapters and verses in the Bible that states premarital sex is a sin. That’s a fundamental Christian belief so there you go.l
9 Wearing polyester, or any other blends fabric
Leviticus 19:19 reads:
“You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.” Translation: Cristiano Ronaldo is right when he demands his football jerseys be 100 percent cotton. Maybe he knows something we don’t? One way or another, millions of soccer players around the world are in serious trouble.
8 Hmmm, pulling out
Genesis 38:9 reads: “And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.” Translation: I don’t know how to explain this exactly . . . Just use a condom!
7 Eating assorted seafood
Leviticus 10–11 reads: “And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.” Translation: The absolute revenge of the red lobster.
6 Working on Saturday
Exodus 31:14–15 reads: “Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.” Translation: Let’s just count and see if there’s a single human being on earth who won’t go to hell over this. You lucky lazy bastards. You never worked any day of the week anyway.

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday granted an
application for the judicial review of the decision to stop
some applicants from writing entrance examination into the
University of Lagos for this year’s admission.
The applicants had headed for court alleging that the
Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,
Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, had issued a directive stopping them
from participating in the UNILAG’s post-Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examinations scheduled for August 12 and 13,
2015.
The applicants, through their lawyer, Dr. Kayode Idowu, also
accused Ojerinde of ordering the removal of their names
from the list of applicants eligible to sit the UNILAG’s 2015
post-UTME and sending same to other institutions that they
had not chosen.
They also alleged that though they scored above the
JAMB’s publicly announced 180 cut-off mark, UNILAG had
however refused to sell its post-UTME forms to them
following the alleged directive by Ojerinde to send the
names of all candidates with less than 250 marks to other
institutions.
In their ex parte application moved before Justice
Mohammed Idris on Monday morning, the applicants had
prayed for the leave of court to apply for an order of
mandamus compelling UNILAG to sell the post-UTME forms
to them so they could sit the exams.
They also sought the leave to apply for an order prohibiting
the removal of their names from the list of candidates
eligible to sit the 2015 UNILAG’s post-UTME scheduled for
August 12 and 13.
The judge, after hearing their lawyer, Idowu, granted the
applicants an order to seek judicial review of the
respondents’ decision.
“It is in the interest of justice that the application is granted
as prayed,” Idris held.
The court adjourned till August 10, 2015 for further
proceedings.
Joined as respondents in the application are JAMB, its
Registrar, Ojerinde, UNILAG and its Vice Chancellor, Prof
Rahmon Bello.
The applicants with their respective Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examinations scores are Kofoworola
Olukanmi with 235 marks; Mojisola Sholola, 247 marks;
Mojisola Ajetunmobi, 239 marks; Ayomide Olajide, 228
marks; Joseph Omotosho, 247 marks.
Others are Olabimpe Oladipupo, 228 marks; Chijioke
Nwachukwu, 233 marks; Saviour Echedom, 235 marks and
Adebola Ekungomi, 223 marks.
Meanwhile, a civil society organisation, the Socio-Economic
Rights and Accountability Project, has asked the same court
to reverse the cut-off point of 250 marks set by UNILAG to
the 180 marks publicly announced by JAMB.
The group, in a suit marked FHC/L/CS/1139/2015, filed on
Monday, is seeking a declaration that by the upward review
of the cut-off mark, the respondents had breached Section
5(1)(c)(iii) of the JAMB Act Cap 193 of the Laws of the
Federation.
It said, “The provisions of Section 5(1)(c)(iii) of the JAMB
Act are very clear and unambiguous. The letter and spirit of
the provisions are to ensure that the preferences of
candidates, in terms of the university they choose to attend,
are sacrosanct. Even a contrary or adverse decision by
individual university cannot override the decision made
pursuant to the provisions of Section (5)1)(c)(iii).”
The case has yet to be slated for hearing.

This “angel” was wearing a white gown similar to that we see of photos of angels. It did not have majestic wings but appeared to have giant chicken wings protruding from its back. The old “angel” also appeared to have fallen with some pieces of food around which netizens speculated to be apples or bread. According to a viral post on Facebook shared by a certain Jimmy Ollie , this “real-life fallen angel” fell from the skies of London shortly after NASA announced finding Earth 2.0, a planet that resembles Earth in so many ways.
We found on Bored Panda , however, that these photos of the supposedly fallen angel were taken from a hyperrealistic sculpture created by Beijing artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu. The art exhibit is made from stainless steel, woven mesh, silica gel, and fiberglass. It also appears that the sculpture was unveiled in 2008, based on the artists’ website. Still, despite knowing that this “angel” was actually an old sculpture, I still think the photos were quite poignant. I believe the artists were able to deliver their message across, with the project’s purpose being “highlighting the tension and transition between the supernatural and the mundane”.

How is that my business?
