This seems weird but organizers of the show have good intentions for it though things seem to have turned a bit sour.
An award winning Danish TV show has come under criticism because it features adults stripping down completely naked in front of children.

The show may be controversial but the it was structured to project a message about body positivity.

The show is called Ultra Strips Down and sees grown-up folks getting their kit off in a controlled environment in front of kids between the ages of 11 and 13 in order to show them that there is no such thing as a ‘normal’ or ‘perfect’ human body.

The show claims to “promote body positivity and combat body-shaming” but obviously some people aren’t impressed by it.

A recent episode saw five people enter an auditorium where the kids were sitting wearing robes, before throwing the robes off and answering questions from the curious kids.
One of the kids asked: “At what age did you grow hair on the lower part of your body?”

Another said: “Do you consider removing your tattoos?”

A third even went as far as to ask: “Are you pleased with your private parts?”

The show – which is on Denmark’s DR Ultra channel – has proven hugely popular in the Scandinavian country, where people aren’t quite is uptight about nudity.

In fact, it even won a Best Children’s Programme award at the Danish TV Festival.

However, after a clip was shared on Facebook, some have complained about the show.

On Twitter, one person said: “The show claims to teach kids about different body types by exposing them to naked adults,

“Why? Why are there now so many pushing to destroy children?”
Another person commented: “This is so heartbreaking. What happened to the innocence of childhood?”

To be fair, they’re just trying to educate children on their bodies, and the bodies of others. Why is that such a bad thing, eh?

According to the New York Times, a member of the far-right Danish People’s Party, Peter Skaarup, said that the show is guilty of “depraving children”.

He said that the children are being exposed to this sort of thing “far too early”.

But others can defended the programme, with one supporter writing: “Children have to learn about anatomy at some point, and they are being exposed to far, far worse via the internet, at much younger ages than this.”

Watch Jaw Dropping Video as Man Jumps Off Motorcycle, Saves Toddler Rolling Down Hill At High Speed

This man truly deserves an international award. What he did has greatly impressed the internet.
The man was filmed jumping off his motorcycle to save a baby rolling down a steep road in a walker.

The video which has gone massively viral on social media shows unbelievable moments the man who was riding his motorcycle along the empty street noticed the toddler rolling down a steep slope at high speed while still secured to its walker.
The motorcyclist reacted swiftly, as was shown by the CCTV footage.

He did not waste a moment’s time, as he stops his bike in the middle of the road, shrugs off his bag and runs to catch the baby before it could roll further down the slope and hurt itself. Seconds after he managed to stop the speeding walker and save the toddler, a woman – presumably the child’s mother or caregiver – appears running at the scene.

According to news outlet La Chiva, the incident occurred in the Rincon de la Estrella neighbourhood of the city of Florencia, Colombia, on September 14. The video surfaced online last week and millions of social media users have since praised the motorcyclist’s courage and quick reflexes.

A training session among players of Brazil’s women national football team players took a strange twist as the welcomed an unexpected visitor.

The training session was interrupted by a parrot landing on a player’s head.

This briefly paused the training session on Saturday September 19, as the parrot alighted on Brazil defender Bruna Benites, reports the BBC.

In a now-viral video, the bird can be seen sitting on top of Ms Benites’s head. It was lured away with the help of a ball before flying to one of the goalposts.

Bruna Benites, 34, shared the clip on Instagram and used it to raise awareness about the fires devastating the nearby Pantanal wetlands and Amazon rainforest, reports Yahoo News. “Thousands of animals are losing their lives with the fires and if this continues to happen, scenes like the one you are seeing in this video will become impossible to be seen,” she wrote.
The video has garnered over 37,000 views and a ton of amused comments on Instagram since being shared two days ago.

In a follow-up Instagram post, Ms Benites revealed that the parrot is a domesticated bird who lives nearby.

“This parrot lives here in an apartment in Granja Comary (Rio de Janeiro) with his human family and is a domesticated animal, who is very well treated by his owners. He is free and that is why he regularly visits our training sessions,” she wrote, according to a translation provided by ESPN. “He usually watches from the changing rooms, near the goal, on the crossbar, but yesterday he was able to see things from a different angle.”

NUC Adds One New Department to Unbundled Mass Communication Programme, Total Now Eight New Programmes

As part of the unbundling of Mass Communication programme in Nigeria, the National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved the addition of a new department to the School of Media and Communication Studies, bringing the total of new programmes to eight.

The new programme is Strategic Communication. There will now be department of Strategic Communication in addition to other seven departments – Advertising, Public Relations, Broadcasting, Film and Multi-Media Studies, Journalism and Media Studies, Information and Media Studies, and Development Communication.

MassmediaNG investigations revealed that the NUC is at the final stages of making the new department an official part of the eight programmes to replace Mass Communication in Nigeria after which a letter would be officially sent to Universities in the country to begin the unbundling process.

National President of African Council for Communication Education (ACCE), Prof. Nnamdi Ekeanyanwu told MassmediaNG in an exclusive interview that he is aware of the new programme, adding that in a few weeks time the NUC will officially make the announcement together with the official release of letters to various universities on the commencement of the unbundling exercise.

Ekeanyanwu who is one of the very few communication scholars in West Africa who specialize in Strategic Communication, explained that the course is a very interesting one, having contents that reflect evolving trends in today’s communication environment.

According to Ekeanyanwu, “I tell you, this is a very interesting area to go into. This course has a bit of advertising, public relations, integrated marketing communications and all about the use of social media in engaging strategic audience members. It is almost a done deal. The new programmes in the unbundling exercise are now eight; I can assure you.”

Ekeanyanwu’s areas of interest include international relations and strategic communication.

Strategic communication deals with persuasive communication skills which combines diverse fields of communication in engaging the audiences.

It could be recalled that the NUC had in December 2019, announced the decision to unbundle some departments in the nation’s university system to make them complete faculties. Among these departments are Mass Communication, Computer Science, Agriculture, and Architecture.

Orlu road is one of the most popular areas in Owerri, Imo State capital. You would expect that such an area will have the best of schools but what you are about to read will shock you. This has also been like this before the COVID-19 lock down, though its a bit worse now. So don’t think it got to this level because it was abandoned during the lock down. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

As schools gradually resume after the COVID-19 lock down, pupils and teachers in Orlu Road Primary School, Imo State, Nigeria, are in serious danger of witnessing a health hazard or environmental disaster.

This school has actually been this terrible even before the COVID-19 lock down began months back. The buildings are obviously weak and the environment is a health disaster to the children in this school. Primary six pupils are already preparing for their common entrance examination though the state government has not yet announced resumption date for schools in the state, as at the time of filing this report.

This message is coming early enough to avert any coming disaster. We gathered that pupils of the school have already been told to start cleaning the classrooms. Can you imagine that? Teachers are also cutting the grasses by themselves. This is pathetic for primary education in Nigeria, especially in Imo State.

Whether it works or not is what is still a raging argument. But there are several articles and videos claiming that coca cola could be used in cleaning the toilet sand such other surfaces. The truth is that coca cola could be used for other purposes aside enjoying it as a refreshing soda. One of those other purposes is removing stains from the toilet sink. For it to work you might need to adhere strictly to specific procedure but read the interesting piece below by Pop Sugar before doing the experiment yourself. There are three videos accompanying this article. The first two are claiming this procedure works while the last one says it’s fake. You might have to watch all three videos before drawing your conclusion.
Can Cola Really Clean Your Toilet?

If you have an unsightly toilet bowl you might need to read this article and apply the instructions strictly. Hard-water stains, lime, and minerals can leave your commode not looking so fresh — even after serious scrubbing. Does pouring a bit of a popular beverage in your toilet bowl really work? Popsugar.com put it to the test to find out.

1. Start by giving your toilet bowl a quick scrub, and then pour a 16-ounce bottle of cola in the bowl. Let it sit for an hour.

2. Cola is acidic and contains phosphoric acid, which breaks down stains and buildup, leaving a sparkling clean toilet bowl. After another quick scrub and a flush, “we couldn’t believe how clean our commode was — no harsh chemicals or scrubbing involved”, reports popsugar.com.

3. This cleaning method is safe to use as often as needed and can be finished with a spritz of your favorite air freshener for a really fabulously clean bathroom.



Another video says it is fake!

Well, the article and videos above claim using coca coal to clean the toilet works. But there are others who think it is all a sham. The video below shows the experiment being tried out without result though the people in this video did not scrub after adding coca cola. They did not follow the same procedure followed by those who claim it works. Watch the video and decide which perception to have about this issue of using coca cola to clean toilet, whether it works or not.

Bodycam footage from the two officers accused of murdering George Floyd, was leaked to DailyMail.com on Monday. The heartbreaking video shows Floyd saying, “Mr. Officer, please don’t shoot me” before the struggle that ended with his death on May 25.
In the video, Floyd cried as he begged police not to shoot him few minutes before his death in the hands of officers in Minneapolis.

Transcripts from the videos were released in mid-July but a judge in Minneapolis had ruled the video could only be viewed in the courthouse, meaning only select people have seen the footage, which includes more than 18 minutes from Officer Alex Kueng’s bodycam and 10 minutes from Officer Thomas Lane. These officers were the first two to arrive on the scene after a complaint that Floyd had attempted to buy cigarettes with a fake $20 bill to buy cigarettes at Cup Foods, a store in the Powderhorn Park section of Minneapolis.
The videos show Floyd in distress as Lane points a handgun at his head and another nonchalantly picks a pebble from the squad car tire seconds before Floyd draws his last breath.

“OK, Mr. Officer, please don’t shoot me. Please, man,” Floyd said when officers approached as he sat in his car. One officer had a gun drawn and aimed at Floyd’s head.

“I just lost my mom, man,” Floyd said in the footage first obtained by The Daily Mail. “Please don’t shoot me, Mr. Officer, please.”

The video further shows Floyd apologizing throughout as the cops cursed at him.

“Put your fucking hand up there,” one officer ordered. “Jesus Christ, keep your fucking hands on the wheel.”

When the police attempted to put Floyd in the back of a police vehicle, he warned them that he was claustrophobic. Floyd was eventually forced to the ground. Then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin shoved a knee into his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds as Floyd cried out: “I can’t breathe.”

If you’ve not seen this advert just make sure you do so now! Don’t even spend a second more without viewing this masterpiece. This Nike advert is probably the best piece of creative art the world has seen for now. It has unbelievable technical details that will make you wonder how people could go to extremes just to pass across a message in very few seconds.

Nike is definitely known for its exceptional commercial but the company seems to have outdone itself with its latest advertisement.

The advert is entitled ‘You Can’t Stop Us’. In this ad, Nike’s creative agency Wieden + Kennedy Portland has stitched together old videos in a way that is being praised as a marvel of editing on social media.

The ‘You Can’t Stop Us’ ad uses archival footage to deliver a message on the unifying power of sports at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has cancelled or postponed several sporting events. The 1 minute 30 seconds video features the likes of Lebron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, Serena Williams, Colin Kaepernick and, for a split second, the Indian women’s cricket team.

One line from the massively viral ad sums it up its message of hope nicely: “No matter how bad it gets, we will always come back stronger.”

With a voiceover by American soccer player Megan Rapinoe, the powerful advertisement features 36 pairings of athletes using a split screen. Nike’s team reportedly combed through 4,000 pieces of footage to create the astonishing montage that has won high praise on social media, collecting more than 13 million views in less than a day on Twitter alone.

“Because as athletes*, we are never alone. Sport unites us. Strengthens us. Keeps us pushing ahead. No matter what, we will always come back stronger, together,” the apparel and footwear company wrote while releasing the ad on YouTube. “You can’t stop sport. Because you can’t stop us.”

She has had these pets for about 10 years now so she is actually growing up with them. Her younger brother also freely plays with these but I’m quite sure this is not the usual pet story you’ll be expecting to read. Well, guess what? This kid has six giant, and I must add, scary snakes, as her ‘lovely’ pets and one of them is an albino python. This teenager has become an internet sensation just about three months after she began to share stories of where she is playing with these pets on social media platforms. Here’s the story;
A 14-year-old Indonesian girl, Chalwa Ismah Kamal, has been buzzing the social media for uploading videos of her unusual pets – six giant pythons – that she loves to pet and cuddle. The videos show her playing and caring for her giant snake pets.
The sight of a full-grown python will make many people run for their life but not for this girl. Even when the snakes look like they could swallow an adult human with ease, Chalwa is not scared of her snake pets at all.
The teenager, who reportedly hails from Purworejo, Central Java, shares her home with six massive pythons and appears to have no concern for her safety when she’s around them. Photos and videos of the Indonesian girl playing, bathing and cuddling with the giant reptiles have been going viral on TikTok and Instagram, and leaving viewers with their mouths wide open.
There is no story yet explaining who Chalwa is and how she came to live with the six pythons, but she allegedly told Indonesian website Lampung77 that she has been taking care of her pet snakes since she was only 4 and feels no fear whatsoever when she is around them.
Although people regularly express their concerns for Chalwa’s safety in the thousands of comments she gets on her videos, the girl does her best to explain that her pets are not poisonous, that they are tame and that snakes in general are victims of negative stereotypes.
Chalwa is not the only one who feels completely comfortable surrounded by massive pythons; her younger brother appears in some of the viral videos as well, and he looks just as carefree.
Chalwa Ismah Kamal only started uploading snake videos to Instagram late last month, but judging by the response she has been getting in such a short amount of time, she’ll probably be doing it for a long time.

I’m not sure this is a kind of pet many people will consider getting for their kids as gifts for may be doing well at school or birth days; or even for whatever reason. But Chalwa seems to love her pets and her younger brother has no problem with such pets around. How the pets show love in return is yet to be revealed…for now.

This sounds strange but the woman insists she had not made love to her husband for 19 months before the one-hour long pregnancy manifested.

An Indonesian woman is currently buzzing the internet for bizarre reasons. Instead of the usual 9 months or there about for human pregnancy, this woman claims she only experienced pregnancy for just one hour.

Heni Nuraeni, a 30-year-old woman from Mandalasari, a village in Indonesia’s Tasikmalaya Regency has become the main topic of conversation in her country, after it was revealed that she gave birth to a baby boy after allegedly experiencing pregnancy symptoms for about an hour. Heni claims that on Saturday night, July 18th, her belly started growing and she started experiencing painful cramps which she immediately associated with child birth, having previously given birth to two children. The problem was that not only had she been oblivious to the pregnancy, she also hadn’t made love to her husband in 19 months

“I was at home, and nothing was out of the ordinary,” Heni recalled about the night of her childbirth. Suddenly, I felt something moving on the right side of my abdomen and the cramps started. I asked a neighbor to take me to my father’s house and about an hour later we called a midwife and I gave birth.”

Heni claims that she experienced none of the symptoms she had when she gave birth to her other two children, even though she discovered she had gained some wait a few months before the delivery. She said she never experienced such symptoms as morning sickness, protruding belly or even the ceasing of her monthly menstruation often associated with pregnancy. Nuraeni insists that she had her period every month for the last nine months, which doctors attribute to a hormonal imbalance.

But the most incredible part of this already incredible story is that Heni Nuraeni and her husband Erik hadn’t been intimate for 19 months, since she gave birth to their daughter. They had apparently abstained from sex after the birth of their second child, for medical reasons, which was confirmed by Zalkap Drasman, the head of Puspahiang Sub-District.

It is this small detail – the lack of intercourse – that makes the doctors reluctant to provide the simplest explanation – a case of cryptic pregnancy, where the mother doesn’t know that she is pregnant.

“This is what makes this incident strange but true, but we are grateful because with God’s will anything can happen,” said Zalkap.

Heni Nuraeni’s alleged one-hour-long pregnancy has been garnering a lot of interest over the last week, with reporters, medical experts and officials from all over Indonesia visiting the young mother to learn more stories about her seemingly miraculous childbirth. All the attention has apparently caused Heni a lot of stress, and her family have asked for some privacy.

What the story is not clearly connecting is whether Nuraeni had sexual intercourse with her husband an hour before the pregnancy or it was a completely miraculous pregnancy without contact with any man.

A video showing a furious woman smacking the bare bums of a frisky couple with a plank of wood after catching them having sex in a bush, has gone viral.

The unusual incident was filmed in the city of Stavropol in the south-western Russia by a neighbour in a nearby block of flats.

Eyewitnesses reports say that the outraged woman – who locals know as Lady Irina – spotted the couple getting amorous in the bushes and grabbed a short plank of wood in order to teach them a lesson.
In the video, two pairs of legs are seen poking out the bottom of a bush next to a pavement as Lady Irina approaches, armed with her paddle.

While the man is still thrusting, the outraged woman smacks him on the backside with the plank and shouts at the pair. She then wallops the woman’s thigh before continuing to berate them.

Before marching off with a scowl across her face, Lady Irina gives the couple a final whack with the plank which causes the man to yell out in pain.

The filming neighbour is heard laughing as she walks away.

Family psychologist Natalya Panfilova explained: “The woman’s reaction is clear, she is outraged by the situation so she grabbed the first thing at hand and spanked the couple like they were small children. It is possibly her reaction was caused by an ‘old school’ attitude.”

One person commented on the video saying the lady did the right thing, with another agreeing, saying: “I think she acted appropriately.”

However, a third wrote: “This old lady perfectly demonstrated the demographic crisis in the country.”

While explaining why people opt to have sex outdoors, Dr Paul Dobransky, a psychiatrist and author of The Secret Psychology of How We Fall in Love, had said that that the love for risky sex has something to do with the interconnection between ‘danger’ and ‘arousal’.

He said: “If you look at our two core instincts – survival and reproduction – then you can split arousal into two categories: danger arousal, which is a call to arms or to action, and sexual arousal, which is a call to reproduce.

“They’re two sides of the same coin, but the brain doesn’t always know the difference and can easily confuse the two.”

So there we have it. Better keep one eye in the back of your head though.

Viral Video! Watch What Happened When A Tiger Came Across A Huge Python In Karnataka
This might not be a recent video but it is truly sensational.

The old video is going viral on social media again. It shows a tiger coming across a huge python on a road in Karnataka. The video was filmed in August 2018, but has captured social media’s attention again after it was shared on Twitter this morning by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda.

The clip was recorded by Sharath Abraham, a naturalist at Evolve Back Resorts Kabini. According to him, the close encounter between the snake and the big cat was recorded on August 31, 2018, at Nagarhole National Park And Tiger Reserve.

“I was with Kabini river lodge driver Feroz when I saw this male tiger marking his territory,” Mr Abraham wrote on Instagram, adding that they followed the tiger for around 15 minutes, after which they came across the python on the road. “When we came across this huge python on the middle of the road which looked like a speed breaker, tiger was confused about what to do,” he said.

The video shows the big cat carefully walking around the snake and looking at it curiously. Then the tiger retreated into some bushes by the side of the road. “Tiger tried to investigate the snake by hiding behind the small bush but the python with its full belly started to approach the tiger,” Mr Abraham said, sharing the conclusion to the encounter in a second video, which shows the big cat walking away after losing interest in the snake.

An angry man has taken a bizarre option of expressing his feelings at a petrol station after workers there refused to attend to him.

How Chris became King of Blockchain in Nigeria

Before emerging Africa’s leading Crypto influencer, Chris was already the King of Blockchain in Nigeria. So how did it all begin? Just check this amazing summary out!

In 2017, Chris founded the first bitcoin and crypto trading education platform in Nigeria, Cryptohub which now has membership and website visits from several nations across the world. He always made it clear that his primary goal was to educate the world about the new revolutionary system that had the potential to put back financial power into the hands of the people. CryptoHub is one of the many arms of Digital Abundance, a platform focused on Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency trading education. The Digital Abundance Business Academic (DABA) is one amazing platform which Chris has used to ‘magically’ turn young people into millionaires, some of them within a period as short as 30 days. Sounds strange but those who followed his teachings in Daba.school succeeded in encountering life-changing wealth.

Daba.school is a place where highly skilled tutors train people across the world on important areas of the crypto world and other entrepreneurship skills. It is a platform which aims to equip African youth with digital high-income skills that will help them gain financial freedom. One of Chris’s books, Crypto 101: A Beginners Guide to Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, is fast becoming one of the best-selling books on Cryptocurrency written by an African author.

Here’s how he became a blockchain king in Nigeria and this is an inspirational tip on how to steadfastly strive to achieve success in life. Sometime in 2016, Chris searched the internet expectantly for knowledge on every essential fact he needed about Bitcoin. That was when he stumbled upon Andreas Antonopoulos, an early Bitcoin advocate. Chris then devoted another 12 hours absorbing as much information about Bitcoin as he could from the internet after which he became a changed person. He then made the life-changing decision to buy his first Bitcoin but he didn’t even have the money at that time. Well, he is a typical example of what he always teaches, that money is never a stumbling block to wealth but mindset and determination. Chris got a loan of N200 thousand from a friend and bought his first Bitcoin at a time it was sold only around $600. The journey to the top began.

Chris wanted to spread his knowledge about Bitcoin with others, so he started hosting local meetups around Lagos. That was when CryptoHub club came to reality as a platform that provides online courses about Crypto.

Instagram model gets giant cheeks after injecting her face with fillers to look cute (see before and after photos)
This might not be what she bargained for but the outcome is buzzing the internet with frenzy.

A 31-year-old Instagram model from Ukraine is buzzing the internet and making international news headlines for her bizarre addiction to cosmetic fillers, which she likes injecting into her cheeks.

The young lady identified as Anastasiia Pokreshchuk decided that she needed cosmetic enhancements to achieve her desired looks. Only instead of seeking a professional to carry out the procedure, the 31-year-old took it upon herself to inject her own face with hyaluronic acid. Her interest was to increase the size of her lips and cheekbones, and despite having already “achieved” a bizarre look, she says she is not going to stop injecting even more fillers into her face.

“I love this look. I was a grey mouse before,” Pokreshchuk said on English TV show This Morning. “My nose was too big, now I have lips and cheeks and it looks okay.”

Anastasiia, who currently has over 158,000 fans on Instagram alone, injects herself with hyaluronic fillers according to the instructions of a doctor’s online tutorial, and claims that she is aware of the dangers she exposes herself to, but makes sure to use sterilized equipment and does it “like a doctor”.

“This can be dangerous but I do it with doctors,” Anastasiia said. “I am learning online. I was worried, but I love this. An infection is not good, but everything is sterilized when I’m doing this. I do it like a doctor.”

The young Ukrainian admitted that not everyone understands her obsession, adding that even her mum thinks what she does is crazy, but at the end of the day what matters is that she is happy. Apparently, her new look has made her more confident and that in turn has positively impacted her romantic life.

According to Anastasiia, she has spent about $2,000 on cosmetic fillers so far. This is a lot less than what she would have spent at a professional clinic though she would have had better results than what self-medication landed her into. Well, her fans are really having fun on instagram.

This man is called the Rubber Man. He is a popular entertainer based in Owerri, Imo State. This guy can twist his body as if he has no bones. We spotted him performing in an occasion in Imo state as he twisted his flexible body as if he was created without bones. The public cheered him on as he displayed rare talent which other countries would have capitalized on to see whether he could be trained by government as a gymnast. Unfortunately Nigeria seems not to have such time for talented people. Let’s hope private individuals will spot him one day and decide to train him as a proper gymnast, if that is where he will fit in.

Caring mum prevents healthy daughter from leaving their house for 26 years to protect her (Video)
Mothers love their daughters naturally but when love is shown in a bizarre way, it is likely going to attract attention like this story is doing presently.

Russian media recently reported the shocking case of a 42-year-old woman who had not set foot outside her family home for 26 years, despite being in perfect health, because he mother didn’t allow it.

It was only this month that 42-year-old Nadezhda Bushueva left her mother’s house in the village of Arefinsky, in western Russia, since she was 16. The reason she decided to talk a walk into the village was because her mother, Tatyana, had become ill and needed to be hospitalized. For the first time in 26 years she didn’t have to listen to her mother, who reportedly kept her isolated for all these years to “protect her from the dangers of the outside world”. Nadezhda had reportedly not washed her hair in 12 years, as evidenced by the giant clump on her head, and hadn’t had a change of clothes in even longer. Despite all this, she allegedly said she doesn’t need any help…

According to the women’s neighbors, Tayana had always been very protective of her daughter, but things really got out of control when the woman retired. Nadezhda was in 8th grade when her mother started forbidding her from going out with other teenagers in the village, and in a couple of years the two had become complete recluses. Nadezhda didn’t go to school anymore, and her mother rejected anyone who tried to interfere, telling them that they were fine and that they should mind their own business.

How exactly Tatyana got her daughter to accept this isolated lifestyle is still a puzzle which no one has been able to crack. People generally think that the girl slowly got used to how things were and simply adapted to the new normal. After a while, villagers stopped trying to convince her mother to give Nadezhda more freedom too, and everyone just went on with their lives.

But things changed only earlier this month, when Tatyana got sick and needed to be hospitalized that Nadezhda ventured out of her home for the first time in 26 years. Everyone was shocked when they saw her, especially because she looked like she hadn’t bathed in a while, which turned out to be an accurate assumption. After villagers brought her to the head of the local council, Vasily Tovarnov, the woman revealed that she hadn’t washed her hair in 12 years, hadn’t changed her clothes in even longer than that, had been living on cat food for years and had been sharing a bed with her mother and their cats, some of which were dead…

“So what if there are dead cats on the couch? Maybe I’ll die soon here on this couch as well. My life is worse than that of a cat. A cat has more rights. I am not alive, I don’t even exist. I’m a walking dead,” Nadezhda Bushueva allegedly said.

Despite the above statement, and her apparent desire to “find work and get a passport”, Nadezhda didn’t seem eager to change her lifestyle. Larisa Mikheeva, director of the social security services of the Vachsky district, told RIA Novosty that the 42-year-old cannot be forced into rehabilitation, and that so far she has refused all help, saying that she likes the way she lives now, and that it suits her.

“She is not disabled, she has no mental illness. She is an adult, she just lives with her mother and is used to this lifestyle,” Mikheeva said. “A person must voluntarily agree to receive some services. If they are not mentally unable to make decision, we cannot legally force them.”

As agitations against rise in rape incidents across the society increases, a heartbreaking story of a young woman who was violated by a medical doctor is causing serious outrage among members of the public.
This is one in many incidents which eventually fail to see the light of the day due to stigma or settlement between the accused and the victim’s family but this particular incident is already drawing attention of stakeholders against rape in the society.

It happened on March 29, 2020 in Phalombe, a district in the Southern region of Malawi. That day remains a traumatic day for Mrs. Elizabeth Charles, a 21-year-old woman who alleged that she was raped when she was about six months pregnant by a hospital employee at Nambazo Health Center in Phalombe, reports Times Malawi.

Malawi news visited Mrs. Charles, a mother of three little girls, and she narrated to them how the entire incident happened. She said she remembers the incident like it was yesterday when her innocent attempt to seek medical attention at the health facility brought shame and misery to her life.

“On this particular day I went to the clinic for my usual ante-natal checkup. I did everything as we usually do when we go to the hospital. In the process of routine checkup I entered one room for other checkups.

“The doctor asked me to lie down and I had to remove my underwear however, I then noticed the doctor undressed as well. When I asked him what he was doing he covered my mouth with his hands and pinned me down…. I tried to push him but I was not successful and before I knew it he had raped me,” she said.

Traumatized man sues girlfriend for $160,000 (about N60 million) damages after allegedly catching mouth disease from kissing her on first date
A man who insists his girl friend never informed him that she has mouth infected in not taking his experiences after kissing the girl lightly at all. The man is traumatized that he is battling a viral infection and insists his girlfriend must pay for the ugly experience. He has started one of the most bizarre law suits you can think of.

The 45-year-old Englishman sued the woman he went on a date with for refusing to inform him that she suffered from cold sores and thus knowingly infecting him with the herpes virus when he kissed her.

Martin Ashley Conway, from London, in the UK, claims he got traumatized by the aftermath of a romantic date he went on last year. After meeting a woman who he knew as Jovanna Lovelace on dating website Meetup.com, Conway claims they went on a romantic date which also included a kiss.

The kiss experience turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare for Conway in a manner that he is not ready to let the woman go scot free.

Conway had realized days after the night out with the woman, he started developing flu-like symptoms and mouth ulcers which made eating difficult and painful. After being referred to a hospital, the London-based fitness instructor was diagnosed with “the lifelong virus of herpes simplex virus” and prescribed medication.

A few days after the initial diagnosis, Conway suffered a panic attack and collapsed in his home after seeing more mouth ulcers developing, despite him taking the prescribed medication. He claims that the condition caused him to fall into a depression which had him endure “a few weeks of not leaving my property except for medical appointments.”

Conway claims that contacting the herpes simplex virus has been a traumatizing experience in more ways than one.

He said the stigma and pain of having the virus alone have serious psychological implications on a person he says, plus the condition has left him unable to go cycling because he worries that the sweat and stress might cause a flare-up. He added that the virus left him vulnerable to a “rare but devastating” condition called sporadic encephalitis.

Somehow Conway believes that the person who gave him this “virus for life” is the woman he went out with and she should be held responsible for failing to inform him about being a carrier before kissing him. He then decided to sued her for a whopping £136,328.

Robbers apologize to crying man after stealing from him, console him and return his valuables in viral video

You hardly find what you could describe as kindhearted robbers around. But the internet is buzzing with a video of two robbers who showed unbelievable kindness to a young man who broke down in tears as they robbed him. Here’s what happened.

A pair of robbers in Pakistan apparently had a change of heart after their victim broke down in tears. A video that is being widely circulated online shows the robbers returning the valuables they had stolen from a food delivery man and even consoling him with a hug as he broke down after the theft.

According to Geo News, the bizarre but heartwarming incident occurred in Karachi – the capital of the Pakistani province of Sindh. CCTV footage that has gone viral shows the food delivery man – an employee of a popular food delivery platform in the country – walking up to his parked bike after making a delivery.

The footage shows two robbers pulling up next to him on their own bike. The robbers first tried to intimidate their target, reports Gulf News. While one got off the bike and tried to wrest his valuables from him, the other was seen keeping watch during the mugging attempt.

However, the delivery man reportedly broke down during the robbery attempt, heartbroken at the loss of his hard-earned money. Seeing this, the robbers had a change of heart and were filmed returning his things to him instead of fleeing. They were even seen hugging him and shaking his hand in an attempt to console him before driving away.

The video of this uniquely unsuccessful robbery has gone viral on social media since it emerged a few days ago, collecting thousands of views and comments. Watch it below:

This is one video that will get you excited whenever you watch it. A grandpa in India has shown that age is not a barrier to a skill that you cherish with a passion. The grandpa literally proved that the proverbial saying “If you can’t dance well, you’d better not get up” is totally true. He was actually playing the instruments with a colleague but had to stand to teach the dancers some vintage steps. Lol!
A couple of days ago, precisely in the night of June 15, a Twitter user, Arun Bothra took to the microblogging platform to share a video that has delighted thousands of people. The video, which was originally posted on TikTok, shows two elderly men playing instruments while others around them dance in what appears to be a happy little party.

One of the musicians, apparently caught up in the moment, briefly stops playing his instrument to perform a little jig which turns out to be a superb modern day twerk. This move attracted cheers from onlookers and a ton of compliments from social media users.

Though his dance break was cut short by his colleague who was also playing the musical instruments with him, the video is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Trust me, you won’t watch it once.

“Work v/s Life,” wrote Mr Bothra while sharing the clip on Twitter, where it has collected over 27,000 views and dozens of amused comments.

The video was posted on TikTok four days ago by a user who said it was filmed in Rajasthan, a state in Northern India. It has been viewed over 1 million times on the short form video sharing app, with many praising the dancing musician.

“Super Dada,” wrote one person in the comments section. “You dance, Grandpa. I’ll come play,” another joked.

This grandpa has become an internet celebrity in a special way.

Monkeys attack health worker, steal and chew test kit containing blood sample of patients who tested positive for the coronavirus (viral video)
While the entire world is appreciating the efforts of health workers and other officials at the front line of the war against coronavirus disease, some monkeys visited the front line for some other wacky reasons. The monkeys seem not to be on the same page with the rest of the world on the coronavirus pandemic.

Authorities in India say a troop of monkeys attacked a medical official and stole blood samples belonging to patients who had tested positive for the coronavirus.

A lab technician at a state-run medical college in Meerut was walking across campus when some rhesus macaques converged on him.

The monkeys then snatched away blood samples that the lab tech was carrying that came from four COVID-19 patients who are undergoing treatment, according to Reuters.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing a monkey chewing on one of the sample collection kits while sitting at the top of a tree, according to India.com.

Reports have it that the monkeys left parts of the stolen kits scattered on the ground, concerning local officials.

Dr. S. K. Garg, an official at the college where the monkey attack occurred, told Reuters he wasn’t sure if the monkeys might contract the coronavirus if they have come into contact with infected blood.

“No evidence has been found that monkeys can contract the infection,” Garg said.

SkyNews reports that since lockdown measures were imposed two months ago in the area, monkeys have been congregating in places that are normally crowded with humans.

However, some observers believe that many of the primates are struggling because the human food they normally consume has been severely reduced.

What a wacky meal for the monkeys. Probably they thought it was pizza mixed with expensive French wine. Lol!

Below is video showing one of the monkeys chewing the test kits containing the blood sample of positive coronavirus cases.

Man Divorces Wife Two Days After Wedding After Finding Out She Was a Man, paid N500K as bride price

This is not a good experience for any man, not after paying $1,430 (about N572,000) as bride price.

The story of a 31-year-old Indonesian man who married a woman he met online only to find out that she was actually a man two days after their wedding, is buzzing the internet.

The man, identified only as Muh, in order to protect his identity, reportedly met his wife, Mita, on Facebook about a month ago. After getting to know each other and establishing a romantic relationship online, the two decided to meet up in real life as well. They went out for coffee, and the 31-year-old claims that nothing about Mita’s appearance and voice felt suspicious. She looked beautiful and graceful, which made him fall in love with her instantly. He was staying up at night thinking about her, and after a few weeks of dating, he called Mita up one day and asked her to marry him.

“Mita, I miss you! Let’s just get married,” Muh told his beloved, and she accepted immediately. Last month, Muh told his family about his plans to get married, and he and his parents visited Mita’s house to deliver the dowry, as is customary. The dowry cost 20 million rupiah ($1,430) which was seen as a fair amount to pay.
On the morning of June 2nd, Muh and Mita arrived at the Office of Religious Affairs in Kediri District, Indonesia’s Central Java, to be wed. Even though the 25-year-old had most of her face covered on the big day, no one thought she looked suspicious, as her face cover was traditional for a bride. Their wedding was attended by religious leaders from around the region, none of which had any suspicions about the bride’s gender.

The story began to change for the newlywed couple when Muh tried to consummate their marriage on their wedding night, only to be turned down by his young wife. He didn’t think too much of it, thinking there was always the following night and every one after that, but when the same thing happened on his next attempt, he began to suspect that something was wrong.

After the third night passed without any “action”, Muh started doing some investigating, asking around about his wife, and was shocked to learn that Mita was actually a man. As incredible as that was, it made sense, since she had refused to make love to him for three nights straight.

It’s not clear how Mita found out that her new husband had learned about her true gender, but when Muh came home to confront her, she had already left. Mad with anger, Muh told his family the truth and immediately divorced his “wife”. Feeling cheated by the person he had thought his soul mate, he also notified the police about Mita’s deception and accused her of being a fraud.

“I’m in you also”! Blogger transforms to celebrate International Albinism Awareness Day
Today is International Albinism Awareness Day, a day to celebrate albinos across the world and identify with them. Here’s how Founder of Massmediang, Dr. Chinenye Nwabueze celebrates with persons with albinism across the world. Read the message below.
Well, I decided that this is the best day for me to come out and let the world know whom I really am. All my life I’ve been longing for a day to experience freedom as an albino. To know that I was a lecturer for 15 years and none of my students or colleagues knew I was albino is very interesting. I told myself I’ll wait until I left the school system before revealing this to the world and this was because of the strong stigma I saw that was existing in the society against albinos. I felt the time is now that I’m on my own, working for Massmediang.com, the most authoritative website on media issues and communication education in Nigeria.

To all my ex-students who felt I was a good teacher but never knew I was an albino, I do not know how you’re feeling now reading this and finding out that I’m actually albino, that the best lecturer you came in contact with is albino. If you’re reading this and feeling a kind of sensation inside you, a kind of shock or disbelief, probably because you can’t imagine me being albino, then this message is also for you. What you’re experiencing is the innate stigma the society has against albinos. I believe after reading this and realizing that I am actually albino, it means that anytime you see an albino man or woman, boy or girl, you will definitely remember me and you will not stigmatize any of them because you now realize I am one of them.
This is who I am – a lovely albino with beautiful looks. No one ever knew. It was just two of my students back then, Casmir Onwa and Peter Omuta that found out once and vowed never to tell anyone. That was in 2013 when three of us went to Awka to produce our campus publication, Eagles Pilot newspaper. We were at the production venue till very late in the night and something happened. That was the very first time I ever I failed to take precaution and Casmir found out, and drew Peter’s attention to the shocking experience he had by discovering that their lecturer was albino. I calmed them down and explained to both of them what I have lived with all my life. Not even my kinsmen or anyone in my village knew about this. They understood and vowed never to let anyone know, that was after I promised to remain the staff adviser of the newspaper for as long as they were still in school.

Well, now I’m free to let the world know I am albino and I’m having fun being my natural self. I work for Massmediang.com where you get any information about the Nigerian media and communication education in the country. That’s why we are the first to break the news to the world. As I write this I remember the numerous albinos across the world that have been discriminated against in any form, or even killed for ritual purposes in some parts of Africa. The time to change that perception is now. Just try to find out what you would have looked like if you were born albino. Let us begin #albino me. That way you will realize they are also like you.
Today is International Albinism Awareness Day and the theme is “Made to Shine Against All Odds”. What a wonderful them. The best way to know how nice and normal it is to be albino is to find out what you would have looked like if you had come into this world an albino. You might even love your looks more than it currently is, just like I’m having fun now. Being albino is really wonderful. No need to stigmatize albinos and Massmediang family is celebrating International Albinism Awareness Day in this special way with all albinos in Nigeria and across the world. Just know that “I am in you also” and we are same. During my 15 years as a lecturer had two students that were albinos, a girl and a boy. They were really wonderful and every time I saw them in class I really missed my real body. Now I’m free to let the world know I’m albino and it is fun.
All you need to keep telling yourself as you read this and probably you’re getting shocked, just keep telling yourself “I say a big NO to discrimination against albinos.” By the time you say this a few times your shock will disappear and I’ll be normal to you even as an albino. You will get used to knowing me as albino, and anytime you see albino in the society you will surely remember me and treat that albino like you would treat me. SAY NO TO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ALBINOS.
#albino me.
(Just go to Massmediang.com and read the last paragraph of this story to find out how I first realized I was albino and what two of my students saw in 2013 that made them discover I was albino).

You might as well start discussion with your lawyer if you’re not having fun with your job presently. A man just made history as the first to get paid after suing his former employer over boring job. Sounds weird but it happened.

Frederic Desnard, who worked as a manager at a Parisian perfumery until 2015, sued his former employer because his job was so boring that it made him depressed and forced him to quit. He recently won the trial and a $45,000 (about N20 million) compensation.

The story began back in 2016, when Frederic Desnard made international news headlines for suing French perfumery Interparfum for $400,000 for making him work a boring job that at one point made him suffer an epileptic fit and left him feeling depressed. He also claimed that the company signed him off work for several months, and later used his prolonged absence as an excuse to fire him in 2014. Last week, after four years of litigation, 48-year-old Desnard won his case, and a compensation of $45,000

Paris’s appeals court ruled that Frederic Desnard suffered from “bore out”, which is technically the opposite of burnout, where an employee is overworked. The former manager’s lawyer claimed that the complete lack of stimulation at work had left the man feeling “destroyed” and “ashamed”, even triggering an epileptic fit when he was driving.

No research work is completely flawless. No study includes all possible aspects of methodology to make it free of any defects. Something could be missing or may have been left off in the process of carrying out the study. Those procedures that were left out which are likely to affect the results of the work make up the limitations of study. When you provide limitations of study in your work it means you are being sincere and realistic because there is no perfect work.

Limitation of study refers to the methodological flaws in a research work which affect the way the results would be interpreted or generalized. These are defects that affect the generalizability of the work. The limitation of study is a problem related to the methodology used in a work which affect how the will be applied to a larger population.

Limitation of studies in simple terms refers to weaknesses in methodology. It consists of weaknesses related to decisions made in the study especially in the area of such methodological issues as the population of study, sample size, sampling technique, method of study, data gathering technique, among others. It could also be limited access to data, lack of previous research studies on the topic, or conflicts arising from cultural bias and other personal issues, to the extent that these issues affect the procedure of study (the methodology). You should be able to explain how these issues affected your methodology or the process of carrying out the study. You should point out how they impacted the findings or limited your ability to do a stronger work.

This lecture has been packaged in a video where simple terms were used to explain the concept of limitation of study using examples.

The history of the Nigerian press has very interesting highlights which provide an easy way to understanding the trends on how the media evolved. After the emergence of Iweh Irohin newspaper established by Rev. Henry Townsend in 1859, many other newspapers gradually sprang up in the media landscape at that time to pave way for the vibrant media sector we have in the country today. The quickest way to get a picture of the evolution of the Nigerian press is to look at what characterized the media landscape at the early stages of the industry’s development. Watch the video below for a lecture on the characteristics of the early press in Nigeria.

This is one captivating wild life incident you would want to watch over and over again. It shows what relatively weaker animals surfer in the hands of stronger predators in the wild life environment.
This video has been widely shared and viewed by many social media users. It shows a leopard trying to shake a monkey down from a tree. The video was posted this morning on Twitter by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, who said that such a scene has been “rarely seen” in nature. This is an old video but still looks new and captivating to many seeing it for the first time.

In the video, the big cat climbs the tree where the monkey was resting. It then uses its paw to shake the tree branch repeatedly even as the monkey tries to cling on for life.
