Professors, professionals and practitioners of communication in Nigeria presented new communication curricula to National Universities Commission (NUC). Proponents of the new curricula worked on it for over two years and have been advocating for its acceptance and adoption. They include professors and senior lecturers from the departments of mass communication/communication studies of numerous universities spread across the six geo-political zones of Nigeria.

Others that were part of the advocacy for acceptance of the new curricula are regulatory agencies such as the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and Nigerian Press Council (NPC); professional bodies such as the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON), Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and Radio, Television and Theartre Arts Workers Union (RATTAWU); practitioners such as the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), print media journalists and the Director of Public Relations of the Nigerian Navy; and international development agencies such as UNESCO, UNICEF and the MacArthur Foundation.

If you are interested in studying mass communication in Nigeria or you are a graduate of this discipline, seven new courses would be replacing this degree. Here are the seven independent degree-awarding departments which the new curricula seek to establish in place of mass communication:
1. Journalism & Media Studies

2. Public Relations

3. Advertising

4. Broadcasting

5. Film & Multimedia Studies

Family / Man Sues Parents For Destroying His Porn Collection by massmediang: 11:38am On Apr 14, 2019
A man now living in Indiana is suing his parents after he says they destroyed his valuable porn collection.
The plaintiff is identified in this story as “Charlie,” as this is a civil case without any associated criminal charges.

The case dates back to October 2016 when, according to a lawsuit filed this week, Charlie moved into his parents’ home in Grand Haven after going through a divorce from his wife, reports Click2Houston.

Charlie apparently stayed for 10 months in their home, doing housework in lieu of paying rent. He was asked to leave after police had to be called to the house in August of 2017 for a domestic situation.

His parents allegedly traveled in November 2017 to his new place in Indiana to drop off possessions he had left at their home.
Allegedly missing from the items they brought: Charlie’s massive pornography collection.

Religion / Man Gives Up Solid Food During Lent To Live On Beer Alone by massmediang: 9:39am On Apr 13, 2019
A deeply religious man is currently an internet sensation for choosing to abstain from food during Lent and focus on drinking only beer until Easter Sunday. People abstain from food or other pleasurable activities to during Lent as a way of getting close to God, so this man chose to keep away from solid food completely to drink only beer during this Lent season. This is probably his own way of ‘getting close to God’ during Lent. He streams this activity live on Facebook and YouTube, making him an internet sensation.
Inspired by 17th century German monks who allegedly survived on a rich beer called doppelbock during Lent, an Ohio man has embarked on a 46-day beer diet, dropping all solid food until Easter Sunday.

Many Christians choose not to consume beer during Lent, as a way of abstaining for something they find pleasurable, but Dell Hall, the director of sales at Fifty West Brewing Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, is doing the exact opposite. On March 6th, he embarked on a 46-day beer diet, dropping all solid food and getting his nutrients only from beer and vitamin supplements. Although he admits the first few days were rough, Hall claims he now feels amazing and is 25 pounds lighter than when he started.

“Day two and three were pretty rough. I wanted to bash some Taco Bell after a few beers because that’s what we do,” Dell Hall told the Cincinnati Enquirer. “The last couple days I haven’t been hungry at all. I hope that’s going to be a good sign and I maintain this level of clarity.”

Although the monks that inspired his diet consumed a hearty type of beer they called “liquid bread” due to the high levels of carbohydrates it contained, Hall has opted for variety, drinking whatever beer he craves at that moment. Dell has his first beer at around noon, when the hunger really kicks in, and then a few more after work. He also drinks black coffee, unsweetened tea and sparkling water to keep himself from getting sick of beer.

Travel / Villager Digs Road Way For New Road By Hand by massmediang: 10:42pm On Apr 11, 2019
A 45-year-old Kenyan man, Nicholas Muchami, has used a spade, a hoe and an axe dig a road through thick bush to nearby shops to alleviate the sufferings of his fellow villagers.

Muchami has so far cleared 1.5km (one mile) in six days - and has a short way to go to complete the road, reports The BBC.

It is on land officially earmarked for it, but attempts to get local leaders to build it have failed, he says.

He has been praised as a local hero for his efforts for Kaganda village.
Residents of the village in Muranga County, which is 80km north of the capital, Nairobi, had been using a longer 4km route to get to the shopping centre.

The BBC's Peter Mwai in Kenya says villagers had been upset because a shortcut to the shops, via a footpath passing through private land, had recently been fenced off .

This prompted Mr Muchami to take action.

"I have a lot of energy in me. I decided to volunteer," he told the BBC.

He said he had worked from 07:00 to 17:00 local time last Monday to Saturday as he wanted to complete the road before the onset of the rains.

People were incredulous that Mr Muchami, who usually earns his living doing odd jobs during the day and as a guard at night, had volunteered for the job.

Sports / Soccer Fan Exhumes Grand Dad’s Skull To Celebrate Historic Win by massmediang: 8:40am On Apr 09, 2019
Can you do this for your club?
An Argentine man who did not want any of his family members to miss out on the celebration of a historic victory achieved by a club loved by the entire family had to involve his grand dad by exhuming his skull. He carried his grand dad’s skull around the streets during celebration party. The man is a fan of Racing Club, a football club in Argentina.

Having only won two top-flight titles since 1966, Sunday’s draw against Tigre – which secured a third first division crown this century – was a big deal for Racing Club.
Tens of thousands of supporters took to the streets of Buenos Aires to commemorate the win, congregating at the city’s obelisk monument — a famous meeting point for fans celebrating their team winning the Argentine league title.

Such was the importance of the victory, in the case of one fan, not even death could stop him taking to the streets to celebrate.

Not wanting a single member of his family to miss out on the historic victory, lifelong Racing fan Gabriel Aranda exhumed his dead grandfather’s skull and carried it around the streets of Buenos Aires to celebrate.

Crime / Neighbors Arrested After Shooting One Another To Test Bulletproof Vests by massmediang: 1:29pm On Apr 07, 2019
Two Arkansas men were arrested this week for taking turns shooting each other with a semi-automatic rifle while wearing a bulletproof vest.
50-year-old Charles Eugene Ferris was admitted to a Benton County hospital late last Sunday with a red spot on his upper chest. Doctors there notified police about the suspicious wound and in an interview with a deputy from the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, the man tried to come up with a plausible explanation. He claimed that an “asset” had paid him $200 for protection and after they met with a third individual at around 10 p.m. on Sunday, a gunfight ensued. The 50-year-old told police that he had been shot several times and returned fire before escaping in a car. Luckily, he had been wearing a bulletproof vest, but the asset brought him to the hospital anyway. Unfortunately, Ferris forgot to tell his wife his version of the story, so she spilled the beans on what really happened.
According to Leslie Ferris, her husband Charles and his friend Christopher Hicks, age 36, had been drinking with Charles Hicks, 36, outside their home when gunfire erupted. She didn’t know the details, but after being confronted by investigators, Charles Ferris changed his story.

Crime / Illegal Poacher Crushed To Death Byelephants, Eaten By Lions Insouth Africanpark by massmediang: 10:53pm On Apr 06, 2019
A man attempting to poach a rhino in the Kruger National Park was crushed to death by an elephant before being eaten by a pride of lions leaving behind his skull and a pair of pants, Daily Mail reports.

Three of the victim’s friends ran away after the victim was crushed by the elephant and rang his family.
The victim’s family contacted the park’s ranger service who launched a search on foot on Wednesday.

The Kruger National Park Air Wing also searched for the victim’s body but had to return to base due to failing light.

On Thursday, the search for the missing man was resumed.

According to Don English, Skukuza Regional Ranger, the man’s body was recovered near the Crocodile bridge section of the park.

According to Mr English: ‘Indications found at the scene suggested that a pride of lions had devoured the remains leaving only a human skull and a pair of pants.’

Glenn Phillips, managing executive of the reserve said: ‘Entering Kruger National Park illegally and on foot is not wise, it holds many dangers and this incident is evidence of that.

Family / Woman Sleeps With Flat Stomach,wakes Up Withbaby Bump,gives Birth45 Mins Later by massmediang: 7:40pm On Apr 06, 2019
A woman has experienced the most bizarre ‘maternity’ story anyone can come across.

The 19-year-old woman from the UK went from having no idea she was pregnant to giving birth to a healthy baby girl, literally overnight, after going to bed with a flat stomach and waking up with a full-on baby bump, reports Oddity Central.
On the morning of July 17, 2018, 19-year-old Emmalouise Leggate got the shock of her life. She woke up with a baby where there hadn’t been one the night before. Alarmed, the teenager called her mom, who in turn contacted her grandmother Louise to see if she could make sense of the bulging belly. Louise could tell it was a baby bump the moment she saw it, so she drove Emmalouise to the hospital and had her wait in the car while she went in to find a midwife. Only by the time she came back, the teen had given birth in the backseat. She had only noticed the baby bump 45 minutes earlier.
The midwife came out thinking I was about to give birth and it was an unknown pregnancy. She asked how long I thought I had and was I timing it,” the 19-year-old recalled. “But then opened the car door and she was already there. I had already given birth to her.”

Except for missing her periods, which she assumed had something to do with being on contraceptive pills, Emmalouise had experienced no pregnancy symptoms. She had no morning sickness or unexplained cravings, never felt the baby kick and had no noticeable baby bump, so she never even considered getting a pregnancy test.

“I had no bump. I had put on a bit of weight, so my mum was suggesting we go out walking and do different things to burn it off because I kept going on about my weight,” Emmalouise said. “The weight was across my full body, more in my arms, legs and face than anywhere else. My stomach never grew.”

Education / Student Sleeps Non-stop For Three Weeks Due To Strange ‘sleeping Beauty’syndrome by massmediang: 3:41pm On Apr 03, 2019
Have you heard of sleeping g beauty syndrome?
A student who can sometimes sleep for 22 hours a day has hit back at people who accuse her of being lazy. She is experiencing Kleine-Levin Syndrome, a condition that makes someone sleep non-stop for weeks, probably just waking up to eat, use the bathroom and fall asleep afterwards.
Rhoda Rodriguez-Diaz, 21, suffers with the rare sleeping beauty syndrome which, at it’s worst, has left her sleeping for up to three weeks, waking up only to eat junk food, drink and go to the toilet.

The condition got so bad that at one point she was kicked out of university for falling asleep during her exams, but has now been given a second chance.
She said: ‘Life goes on whilst I’m sleeping. Reality hits me when I wake up and realise I’ve missed like a week of my life.

‘I feel a huge setback when it does happen. I miss out on so much. That’s the hardest part of it. ‘It’s hard to explain to people where I have been. Because it’s so rare a lot of people struggle to understand.

Rhoda was dismissed from De Montfort University in Leicester last year after missing a number of coursework deadlines and half of her exams because she was asleep.

He then decided to get into photos with great artistes as a way of riding his way to fame. He said he began with Tiwa Savage. He so much liked her music and wanted to take a photograph with her. He then photo-shopped his image into one of Tiwa’s photos. That looked beautiful. He then continued with others. And it worked.

Pets / Most Beautiful Snake In The World Is The Gartersnake, Watch Top 10 Video by massmediang: 9:43pm On Apr 02, 2019
You might not like snakes but is it possible for you to change your perception of these reptiles if you see beautiful ones? I don’t think you should be quick to respond to this if you’ve not seen the gartersnake species, arguably described as the most beautiful in the world.
While snakes are mostly regarded as pests, they are also an essential aspect of the ecosystem. Some people even admire the beauty of these reptiles to the extent that they prefer to keep them as pets.

There are more than 3,000 known species of snakes in the world. They practically live almost everywhere, in deserts, forests, oceans, and lakes. On every continent, there is at least one type of snake. Except in the north of the Arctic Circle and Antarctica where the ground stays frozen all year making it impossible for them to survive in such places.

A fearless little child is currently buzzing the internet with her crocodile-friendly hygiene show.

In the Indonesian city of Tangerang, the child was recorded brushing the teeth of a crocodile. In the video, a girl in a yellow bathing suit is sitting in a bath tub with the reptile.

She squeezes toothpaste onto a toothbrush, grabs the pet by the muzzle and starts brushing its teeth. The crocodile doesn’t move and seems rather cooperative.
An exotic bird with a long beak, resembling a toucan, is sitting on a green bucket behind the girl’s back throughout the video. It turns its head only after the girl raises and drops the reptile several times in the water.

In what has been described as one of the greatest security breaches in the UK parliament, some climate change protesters stripped and interrupted commons debate in a very bizarre way today.
Several of the 'Extinction Rebellion' group glued themselves to the window dividing MPs from the watching public in the biggest Commons security breach since 2014.
Labour MP Peter Kyle joked about the 'naked truth' as MPs' attention was distracted from his speech by the demonstration.Most were wearing only thong-style underwear which left little to the imagination.Shocked MPs including former Labour leader Ed Miliband glanced up at the group as they stripped off behind the glass screen that separate the chamber from the public gallery.
Some of the protesters were singing Nelly the Elephant while under the gaze of Parliamentarians.

Savannah, an English literature student from Ladbroke Grove in west London, was one of the naked protesters.

She said: ‘A bunch of people glued themselves to the window in the public gallery.

‘Everyone stripped and two people were elephants and had climate crisis written on them.

‘We were pointing at them as the elephants in the room of the Brexit debate.’

She added: ‘Personally I don’t care that much about Brexit.

‘I think it’s fine that people do but I think there are bigger things right now.
Twelve climate change protesters were later arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency, Scotland Yard said.

Family / State In US Legalizes Sex Outside Marriage by massmediang: 7:03am On Apr 01, 2019
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) late Wednesday signed a bill decriminalizing fornication, making it legal to have sex outside of marriage.
The law repeals the 1973 misdemeanor crime of fornication, or sex between people who are not married.

The previous law criminalizing fornication was included in the state’s criminal code chapter on offenses against the family, Fox 13 News reported.

Those found guilty could have faced up to six months in jail and a fine of $1,000. The law, however, was not pursued by police for prosecution and was not enforced.

Some conservative lawmakers in the state disapproved of the repeal, according to Fox 13.

“What is legally [right] is often far below what is morally right,” Rep. Keven Stratton (R) said when the bill passed the legislature earlier this month, according to Fox 13. “And I recognize our laws are not strong enough to rule a [sic] immoral people.”

Herbert also signed a bill earlier this week that decriminalizes adultery and sodomy among consenting adults, according to the outlet.

Food / Horrifying Cannibal Cakes That Look Like The Dead, Real Life Human Flesh by massmediang: 5:44pm On Mar 30, 2019
Would you mind having a birthday cake that scares everyone away, including you? That’s what a woman has specialized in making – cannibal cakes.

A mum is now referred to as a cannibal by online community for creating cakes that resemble the dead and scary human flesh.
From severed fingers, feet and arms, Tanya Nisa, 42, from Lincoln, has spent the past seven years perfecting her craft of gory cakes after becoming inspired by the film Hannibal, Daily Star reports.

Yet the realistic cakes seeping fake blood and profiling severed limbs and lifelike faces have scared many online.

Tanya, an interior designer, has been forced to explain her creations are actually freshly Victoria sponge cakes.
But she was left mortified after online trolls branded her a cannibal and claimed the cakes showed real human body parts – and made them feel sick just to look at.
“I can get scared looking at them because my creations end up looking so lifelike.

“People’s reactions are hilarious – they either hate them and don’t believe it’s a cake, or love it.

“Some people have even called me a cannibal.
“My girls hate them though and I have to hide the severed fingers in the kitchen as it grosses them out too much.”

Authorities had ruled her death to be caused by an epileptic fit during the night.
Detectives however called in Barsah to get a look at his penis as part of the probe.
Nedi levied the allegations two weeks after her death as rumours began to circulate.

He became incensed and believed the husband’s giant Instruments were what killed his daughter.

Local police indulged his belief and ordered Barsah down to the police station.

Travel / Two University Students Spend 3 Weeks Naked In Malaysian Jungleon Epic Adventure by massmediang: 6:26pm On Mar 29, 2019
What would you love to do to prove that you lived? Probably not to plan an unbelievably scary adventure into the jungle where you might sleep and not wake the next morning.

That was what two University pals did. They took a trip to a deadly jungle in Malaysia and insisted on spending three weeks there.
Fearless Daniel Olifi, 26, and 27-year-old James Moynihan wanted to see if they could survive three weeks alone in rural Malaysia; and they did. Today, they are buzzing the internet reports of their adventure.

The pair of daring university pals battled blistering heat, machete wounds, thunderstorms and hypothermia to survive three weeks in the jungle – totally naked, Mirror UK reports.

The duo wanted to see if they could survive three weeks alone in rural Malaysia – just for the challenge.
But the survival junkies only took a flint rock, a machete, a mosquito net, a metal water pot and a first aid kit on their trip.

Financial tech worker Daniel and cruise ship entertainer James lost 46lbs between them after failing to find much to eat except bugs and berries.
Daniel, from London, said: “It was scary at times.

“Going to sleep at night, for all you know a snake might get in your shelter and you might not wake up the next morning.

“You can really step on a snake at any point and not know it, or hypothermia can get you.
“You realise: ‘Damn! This is how idiots die in the wild and are never found’.

“It was tough. Our bodies were cannibalising our muscle for energy just to stay alive.

“We wanted to do something truly inspirational and epic- once in a lifetime.

“You only live once, so you may as well do everything you can.
“We wanted to show that anybody can push themselves to the limit to a point beyond giving up in a primal situation.

The Lavender Ball Python is a wonderful reptile that can impress even the most demanding pet lovers in the world, writes Richieast.

Its aspect is definitely an interesting one. It has yellow spots on a lavender backdrop and piercing red eyes that complement the wonderful natural color palate.

This fabulous pet, is originally from Africa and it was considered the most expensive pet in the world for decades. Meanwhile, Lavender Albino Ball Python has lost this title but it’s still a luxury pet taking into consideration the fact that it costs somewhere around $40.000(about N14 million).

Romance / Woman Almost Dies From Stroke Triggered By MouthAction Vanko by massmediang: 6:28pm On Mar 27, 2019
A British woman had to go to the hospital after an intense impending orgasm triggered a stroke.
According to a new report from the British Medical Journal, the unidentified 44-year-old woman suffered a “transient loss of consciousness (TLOC)” while receiving MouthAction from her partner.
After the woman was unconscious for two to three minutes after the sex, her partner got nervous and took her to the emergency room at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.

Once there, the man told doctors his partner’s body had gone stiff during their session. The woman told doctors she had a headache that she described as a 6 out of 10 on the pain scale, according to the The Sun.

At first, doctors believed, based on the symptoms, that the woman had suffered a seizure.

Doctors later learned she had experienced a blackout caused by a sudden lack of blood supply to the brain, also known a reflex-mediated syncope, according to IFLScience.com.
“On closer history taking, the patient reported nearing orgasm while receiving MouthAction from her partner before losing consciousness,” the authors wrote in their report for the BMJ.

A CT scan and a CT angiography showed she had an aneurysm, leading to a subarachnoid hemorrhage ― a kind of stroke.
The researchers said it’s not unheard of for orgasms to cause stroke.

Travel / Why Ethiopians Love Eating Raw Meat by massmediang: 9:43pm On Mar 26, 2019
This sounds wacky but it is even described as a national dish. You may have heard that raw meat is bad for your health because of the possibility of getting infected by a parasite or harmful bacteria. But this is a special delicacy popular among Ethiopians. You find it being served in nooks and crannies of that country. Ethiopians enjoy eating raw meat.
Walking through the streets of Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, it’s not uncommon to see groups of people gathered around restaurant tables feasting on chunks of raw beef or goat meat. Although particularly popular on holidays or various celebrations, like weddings, a lot of people consume raw meat virtually every day. They will tell you that raw meat is a hearty meal that energizes them and refreshes their bodies, as for the risks associated with eating uncooked meat, which include exposure to tapeworms and dangerous bacteria like salmonella and E-coli, most just choose to ignore them.
“I do not buy that nonsense,” one raw meat lover told Vpro Metropolis correspondent Yidnek Lemma. “For the last 20 years I have been eating raw meat and I never got sick. My body loves it!”

“I think that is false information,” another raw meat enthusiast said about the dangers associated with eating uncooked meat. “Recently my grandmother died when she was 114-years-old and my mother when she was 92. They ate raw meat until the end of their days. ”

Dr. Mesafint Abebe, who runs a private clinic in Addis Ababa, told Turkish news agency Anadolu that most raw meat fans tend to overemphasize the nutritional benefits of meat, while ignoring or flat-out denying the risks associated with their eating habit. Many of the patients diagnosed with health issues caused by consuming uncooked meat usually return to his clinic complaining of the same ailments.

A man is still in shock after finding a dead mouse inside a can of Coca cola he had just finished drinking its entire content. What remained to enter his mouth was the dead rat.
The French man was shocked to find a dead mouse in the can of Coca-cola after drinking the entire beverage on his way home after work, reports Mirror UK.

Damien, 34, said he bought the drink along with a pizza at a restaurant near his workplace on March 7.

As he emptied the drink and about to throw it in a rubbish bin, the resident of Varenne-sur-Seine noticed the can still carried some weight.

He found a dead mouse inside the soft drink can, reported Le Parisien,
He said: “I immediately called Coca-Cola and they spent a good quarter of an hour trying to sort it.”

They are said to have offered him a six-pack of Coca-Colas as compensation.

Damien later received a letter from the company stating that it would be impossible for the mouse to have entered the can at any point in their production process.

He turned to the police but was told ‘to find solutions on the Internet’.

Coca-Cola requested Damien to send the can over for examination, but he refused, saying that it’s his only evidence that the incident happened at all, according to the report.

He is now storing the can in the freezer at his home.

Religion / Zambian Prophet Introduces ‘Anointed Milk’ To Sweeten Lives by massmediang: 2:00pm On Mar 25, 2019
A prophet in Zambia is buzzing the internet after he introduced what he called ‘anointed milk’ to sweeten the lives of his members.

The Zambian prophet based in the country’s capital of Lusaka says he has discovered a method of sweetening the lives of his congregants.
This controversial discovery has been kicked against by a church mother body, the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) which says the activities of the Prophet are unbiblical.

According to Prophet David Banda of Altar of Grace, God has instructed him to be using honey and milk so as to chase away any danger that might want to go near the children of God, reports Face of Malawi.

“I use honey and milk in the church because of the revelation that has been given to me by God. The bible says that and I will lead you to the land that flows with milk and honey and that land is Canaan.

“Isaiah 7:14 says therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and will call Him Immanuel,” said the man of God upon being interviewed by local reporters.

He continued saying, “God has instructed me to pray for milk and honey and give it to the children of God.”

Prophet Banda said there was really nothing new and peculiar about the anointed honey and milk concept because even most prophets in the bible relied on it.

“Many prophets in the bible used to eat honey, for example John the Baptist used to feed on honey and locusts. Am not giving it to the children of God to bath it or do anything with it but God has instructed me to pray for it and give it to them so that as they eat that honey their lives can become more sweeter than before,” he explained.

Education / Anambra University Lecturer Gives Free Textbooks To Students by massmediang: 5:54pm On Mar 24, 2019
Some students of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, COOU, formerly Anambra State University, have taken to social media to disclose that one of their lecturers gave them free textbooks for his lecture.

The students who are of the department of mass communication, 200 level, expressed surprise at the action of their lecturer, saying they never believed a lecturer could do such a thing.

Massmediang gathered that the lecturer had noticed that the students did not resume school immediately after the nationwide strike by university lecturers, so he devised a means to get them back to school.

He then sent a message to the whatsapp group of the class telling them that the first set of students to appear in class will get his textbook free of charge. The textbook is actually sold N1,500 in the University bookshop.

In the end, 80 percent of the class got the textbook free. The lecturer told the students that what he gave them was one of his best textbooks but insisted that anyone who failed to come to class with the free textbook will be walked out. Two of the students actually forgot to come to class with theirs for the next lecture after receiving the free gift.

Below are some of the comments the students posted on social media.

Religion / Man Killed In Accident After Forgetting To Wear His Lucky “buddha Amour” by massmediang: 3:42pm On Mar 23, 2019
A man who had always worn his protective armour made of dozens of blessed Buddha amulets killed by a truck the day he forgot to wear the armour.
Sanom Chantaraphirom, a 58-year-old man from Thailand who had become famous for wearing an eye-catching “Buddha armor” made up of dozens of blessed Buddha amulets to enhance his luck, recently died in a tragic car accident after leaving his house without his protective garment.
Chantaraphirom, a dedicated Buddhist, first made news headlines in Thailand two years ago, when a video of him wearing one of his several Buddha armors on the streets of his native Sawaeng Ha district, in Ang Thong Province, went viral. Reporters soon got in touch with him and learned that the man, who earned a living making errands with his rickshaw, had accumulated hundreds of blessed Buddha amulets from various temples around the country and had fashioned them into a chain mail-like armor complete with a helmet. Buddha amulets are considered tools to increase the wearer’s luck in different aspects of life, and virtually every Buddhist in Thailand owns at least one, but Sanom Chantaraphirom wore dozens of them over his clothing as a sign of his dedication to Buddhism.

Sports / Tree Growing In Football Stand Becomes Official Supporter With Membership Card by massmediang: 3:29pm On Mar 23, 2019
Tree Growing In Football Stand Becomes Official Supporter With Membership Card And Club Jersey (Video)
A tree growing in a football stand of a local club has been made an official member of supporters club with membership card and jersey.
The Resistencia Sport Club, a small football club in Paraguay’s second division, is the first in the world to make a tree growing in the stands of its stadium an official supporter, even offering it a membership card and complimentary jersey.
Resistencia’s evergreen supporter is as old as the club, so both the team and its human supporters consider it part of their history. It was around back when the stadium was a mere football field in the middle of a wasteland, so 20-years ago, when the club decided to built concrete stands for its fans, it never even considered the possibility of cutting down their oldest supporters. Instead, they asked the architects and engineers in charge of the project to come up with a solution that would allow it to thrive. So they built the stands around it, allowing human fans to watch home games in its shade. A couple of years ago, when Resistencia celebrated its 100th anniversary, management decided to honor the tree by making it an official member of the club, complete with its own member card and jersey.

Sports / Russian City Hosts Face Slapping Competition (watch Unbelievable Video) by massmediang: 7:07am On Mar 21, 2019
A Russian city has hosted a sporting event that is still leaving most people in other parts of the world stunned. It is a face slapping competition which only ends when an opponent is either knocked out or dazed by a dirty, hot slap.
The Russian city of Krasknoyask recently hosted the country’s first ever amateur face-slapping championship, which had participants slap each other across the face until one of them got knocked out.
The controversial event was held during the Siberian Power Show, a popular sports show held in Krasnoyarsk on March 16 and 17. A similar competition took place last year, in Moscow, but it featured only professional athletes competing for the unofficial title of most heavy-handed face slapper.
This time, organizers decided to give amateurs the chance to prove themselves, so anyone willing to engage in some manly face slapping was invited to sign up. Most of the participants were just random guys who had come to attend the power show and decided to try something new.
Some of them never knew the world of pain they would be experiencing in the hands of a man whose hand was like a computerized slap.
The rules of this amateur face-slapping championship are still a bit unclear, but Oddity Central gathered from various Russian sources that competitors faced each other across a small table similar to the ones used in arm-wrestling competitions, and hit each other across the face with the palm of their hands.
One of the two men would be knocked out by the slap, but if both were left standing after taking some slaps, a judge would decide the winner based on power and technique.
