Even those who use Blackberries are better off than android users according to the study published on Business Insider.

Read excerpts of the study below:

“According to OK Cupid’s analysis of its users, the average 30 year-old with an iPhone has had sex with twelve people; her BlackBerry-owning contemporaries have slept with a modest nine people.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe's president has formalized a law allowing the introduction of a new currency this month.
The new bond notes, backed by a $200 million Afreximbank bond facility, will be regarded as legal tender for all local transactions.
This southern African nation abandoned its own currency in 2009 after inflation hit 231 million percent, according to government figures. It has been using a multi-currency system dominated by the U.S. dollar since then.
Severe cash shortages that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe attributes to low exports have hit this once-prosperous country in recent months.
The bank says the bond notes to be introduced on an unspecified date this month will trade at par with the U.S. dollar.

Yakubu misses a begging chance

The former Everton and Middlesbrough striker will never be quickly forgotten for his horrific miss for Nigeria in their 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa against South Korea.

He missed an open net in the second half of the football match played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban after been supplied with a superb low cross from Ayila Yusuf.

2. Thierry Henry (Arsenal vs Barcelona, 2006)

The former Arsenal captain missed a glorious opportunity for the Gunners against Barcelona in their first and only UEFA Champions League final in 2006.

The 69th minute miss could have brought the game to conclusion for the 10-man Arsenal side had Henry made the chance count.

3. Fernando Torres (Man United vs Chelsea, 2011)

Torres’ miserable season in 2011/2012 EPL season reached new low level after missing what could have been a comeback goal for Chelsea against their bitter rivals, Manchester United.

The Spaniard had rounded David de Gea in goal for United and faced the wide and empty goal, but fluffed his chances which could have made the scoreline 3 – 2 for the Blues in the 83rd minute.

4. Gambo Mohammed (Nigeria vs Spain, 2013)

Being his only senior appearance and benefiting from late coach Stephen Keshi’s principle of using home based players to the 2013 Confederation’s Cup in Rio, Gambo Mohammed came face to face with Victor Valdes in the 74th minute of the encounter and shot slugglishly wide when it seemed easier to score.

Mohammed seems yet to be forgiven by the subsequent gaffers for the national team to get a chance to return to Super Eagles despite becoming one of their recognised strikers in the NPFL.

5. Cristiano Ronaldo (Sheffield United vs Man United, 2006)

Even the world best strikers could have their nightmares and that closed ranged missed by Ronaldo- then at Manchester United- against Sheffield United would remain one of his.

Wayne Rooney had done most part of the job with a touch line dribble of two markers before making a good pass to Ryan Giggs.The Welshman found Ronaldo who was just few inches to goal, but the three-time Ballon d’Or winner skied the ball past the goal.

The game of football is all about scoring goals to win games and while some strikers have written their names with indelible ink for their exploits and qualities in goal scoring.


Some however, will never be forgotten for their profligacy in front of goal as they have missed begging chances that could have changed the result for their team.Here we take a look at some players in which their fans are still battling to come to terms with their misses.

1. Aiyegbeni Yakubu (Nigeria vs South Korea, 2010).

Regarded as one of the best boxers of all time, he held the undisputed heavyweight championship and holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBA, WBC, and IBF heavyweight titles at 20 years, 4 months, and 22 days old.

7. Mike Tyson

Despite receiving over $300m in his 20 year boxing career, Tyson was a broke man in his latter years and in his last fight with Kevin McBride, Tyson forfeited the bout, choosing not to come out for the seventh round.

6. Oscar Pistorious

The South American was convicted of of culpable homicide after shooting and killing his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s day in 2013. The 29-year-old was sentenced to 6 years in prison on 6 July 2016 rather than the minimum of 15 years.

5. Ben Johnson

The Canadian won gold in the 100m at the 1988 Olympics but just three days after his win he was caught as a drug cheat. He tried to come back three years later but was also caught doping. He goes on today saying almost every athlete in the world dopes.

4. Lance Armstrong

He won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005, but was stripped of his Tour de France victories in 2012 after a protracted doping scandal. In his heydays, he was regarded as the greatest cyclist ever.

3. Chris Benoit

The WWE star was known for his flying head butt move. He committed suicide in 2007. He also killed his wife and son in their sleep before killing himself.

2. Marion Jones

She won three gold medals and two bronze medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but was later stripped of the titles after admitting to steroid use. She was not allowed to compete at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and she subsequently retired.

Sports is a lucrative way of escaping poverty and a major way of making one’s self a hero and celebrity to many worldwide.


However it seems many of these athletes like to shoot themselves in the foot with their antics on and off the pitch.

Here are seven cases of athletes who had so much at their feet but basically threw it all away and had their careers end in disgrace;

1. Zinedane Zidane

His final game was the 2006 World Cup final against Italy in which he has already scored. With the scores tied at 1 – 1 and into extra-time, Zizou headbutted Marco Materazzi who he claimed insulted his mother.

France lost the final in penalties and many feel they could have won if only he had kept his head for another five minutes.

The name of the fish is Sarcastic Fringeheads. A video with two of these creatures gone viral online, because many people were surprised to notice the odd looks. They highly resemble female vaginas; that is their mouth do!

This comparably small sized fish has a large had and mouth. They use the heads to fight for the territory and protect their place from intruders. It’s not an ordinary fish. If you were to meet it while diving in the sea depth, it might have scared you.

BBC has even produced a whole show on the strangely looking creatures. That’s when the viewers noticed their similarity to certain body parts of women. How do these fight? They just press the large lips and mouth against each other and keep pushing. The strongest wins. Here is the funny comment made by one viewer:

“It looks like a dangerous vagina.”

And he is so right about it!

The scripture says He resurrected three days after his death and the women who came to anoint his body said no remains were found.


https://www.naij.com/1026584-photos-scientists-uncover-burial-slab-held-body-jesus-christ.html

Christians believe that Christ’s body was laid on a slab cut from a limestone cave after his crucifixion by the Romans more than two thousand years ago.

The work going on at the church is being filmed by National Geographic.


Fredrik Hiebert, the National Geographic Society’s archaeologist-in-residence, said: ‘It will be a long scientific analysis, but we will finally be able to see the original rock surface on which, according to tradition, the body of Christ was laid.’

Scientists have reportedly uncovered a burial slab which many Christians believe once held the body of Jesus Christ.


The surface was exposed at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem, Marble had previously encased the slab since at least 1555AD, reports say.

1 – You are a confident person with adequate self-esteem. Your wish is bound to come true, as you are ready to work a lot for it.

2 – You are a vigorous and ambitious person. You know, that not everything is written in the stars, and are ready to struggle for your happiness. With this approach, even the wildest dream will come true!

3 – You prefer to go with a flow. Unfortunately, you often miss the chance to change for the better because of this habit. Just try to be a bit more ambitious and believe in yourself, and all you’ve been dreaming about will become a reality.

4 – You are strict both to others and to yourself. When you have a goal, you don’t pity yourself and bulldoze your way through. So, keep moving!

5 – You lack patience and miss a lot of opportunities because of that. Don’t rush. Take a deep breath. Your dream will surely come true, if you ease up a bit.

6 – You are a very lucky, but quite a lazy person. To make your wish come true, you’ve got to move for it.

7 – Your wish will be surely fulfilled a bit later. Take your time.

8 – You seem to be hung up on your wish. Try to “forget” about it for some time. Stop thinking of it every single minute, and it will come true very soon.

9 – Your wish is going to come true very soon, but you may regret it later.

10 – You should be more moderate in your demands. Try to eat the elephant bit by bit and ask the Universe for smaller favors.

11 – There’s only one thing that doesn’t let your dream come true: you do nothing about it.

12 – Your dream is about to come true.
