Family / Watch As Baby Falls From Second Floor, Caught By Teenager by massmediang: 11:35pm On Jun 27, 2019
This unbelievable video was recorded by CCTV.

The chilling CCTV footage captured the moment a two-year-old girl fell from her second floor family apartment and was caught by a teenager standing below. According to ABC News, Doha Muhammed was caught by 17-year-old Feuzi Zabaat, who noticed that she was about to fall down from the window of her home. The incident occurred in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey last Thursday.

Mr Zabaat quickly positioned himself on the pavement to catch the toddler before she could hit the pavement, preventing a certain tragedy. His presence of mind ensured that the 2-year-old survived the fall without any injuries, and he has since been hailed a hero on social media, where the CCTV footage has been widely shared.

Crime / Watch As Police Find Abandoned Baby Alive In Plastic Bag by massmediang: 7:52pm On Jun 26, 2019
The sheriff in Forsyth County, Georgia, on Tuesday released body cam footage showing the moment that deputies found a newborn girl alive inside a plastic bag that had been abandoned in a wooded area.

Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office shared video of the June 6 discovery on social media. A local resident told deputies he heard crying from his home, but at first thought it was an animal.
The clip shows a deputy opening the plastic bag and finding the infant, who is then swaddled in blankets.

The investigation into tracing the infant’s mother and whoever may have dumped the child is ongoing. Police said the girl, who has been temporarily named Baby India, is now “thriving” in the care of the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services.

“We release this footage in hopes to receive credible information on the identity of Baby India and to show how important it is to find closure in this case,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Events / Watch As Sword Swallower Attempts To Swallow Blade Curved 120 Degrees (video) by massmediang: 10:43pm On Jun 24, 2019
Swallowing an ordinary sword is hard enough, but ingesting a curved blade? Now that’s cutting-edge.

Currently, there are five people in the world who can swallow a blade with a 90-degree curve, but Dai Andrews wanted to stretch things even further.
Andrews hoped to stomach a sword with an even bigger bend of 120 degrees. Doing so would make him one of just two people to master the very bent blade.

He made the attempt for a new series of “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” that will debut Sunday night on the Travel Channel.

Andrews had his work cut out for him, since he had to bend his body to the sword’s shape to avoid serious internal injuries.

He admitted the pain never goes away completely for sword swallowers.

Family / Sex Doll Maker Helps Grieving Men By Recreating Dead Wives Images by massmediang: 8:15pm On Jun 23, 2019
A sex doll maker has become popular for making her dolls look like dead partners of male customers.

The sex doll maker says most of her customers are buying them for ‘comfort’ rather than sex. Jade Stanley, 36, believes ‘loneliness’ is the driving force behind her ‘flourishing’ business, Sex Doll Official, which she only started last year above her tanning salon.
It began with a line of rental dolls – which come with removable vaginas and cost £345 a week – but it quickly expanded into a range of realistic sex dolls that look like famous male and female pornstars. Jade says she now customises dolls to look like dead partners as part of a special bereavement service.

The governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has prevented any possible casualties due to impending collapse of one the flyovers built by former governor, Rochas Okorocha.
Recall that sometime last week there were viral photos of a flyover in Owerri, the state capital which had signs of dilapidation, posing a danger to motorists and pedestrians in the state.

That flyover which is located at Orji mechanic village has now been sealed from public use by the state government.
The flyover was built by Senator representing Imo West Constituency, Rochas Okorocha while governor of the state. It has started cracking from the sides and has been blocked at the entrances with heaps of sand.

The government has also warned motorists not to ply the bridge again because it is no longer safe for use.

The people of Ubaru village in Igbariam, Anambra East local government area have observed a strange ‘snake-like’ banana tree in their community.
The banana tree is growing in a strange manner. The stem holding the banana is growing back to the ground in a snake-like manner.

Some observers have said that the banana is actually for the gods and no one is expected to touch them until they become ripe and fall back to the grounds for the gods to have them.
Some other persons have dismissed the ‘food for the gods’ theory as unfounded and untrue, describing the banana tree and normal and fit for human consumption.

Family / Court Orders Man To Pay Ex-wife N62 Million For 27 Years Of House Chores by massmediang: 9:25pm On Jun 20, 2019
An Argentinean local court ordered a 70-year-old man to pay his ex-wife 8 million pesos ($173,000, about N62,280,000)) as compensation for 27 years of house work.

Judge Victoria Famá made the landmark ruling after taking into consideration that the elderly couple’s roles had been well-determined during their 30-year marriage, with the woman, identified only as M.L., taking care of the household, while the husband went to work. Despite holding a degree in economics, the woman put aside her professional career to raise her children and take care of the house. By the time M.L.’s husband left her, she was already 60-years-old, too old to even be considered on the job market.
“After 27 years of marriage the accused abandoned his wife when she turned 60 years old, the age at which women obtain retirement benefits, being excluded from the labour market,” Judge Famá’s ruling stated. “The economic dependence of wives on their husbands is one of the central mechanisms through which women are subordinated in society.”

The Argentinian couple separated in 2009, and divorced two years later. Since then, the woman has experienced financial difficulties due to her inability to find a job and receiving meager retirement benefits, while her husband reportedly “lived a good life”.

Crime / Mum Rips Off Son’s Penis, Beheads Him Because He Looks Like His Dad by massmediang: 11:43am On Jun 18, 2019
The mum and her lesbian lover have been accused of tearing off her nine-year-old son’s penis before beheading him. Mum Rosana Candido, 27, and Kacyla Pessoa, 28, of Brazil, are said to have stabbed the boy over a dozen times and removed all the skin from his face before butchering his body.

Reports say that the alleged gruesome murder took place because little Rhuan reminded Candido of his dad. The lovers are said to have confessed to killing and mutilating the child at their home in Samambaia, about 20 miles from the capital Brasilia. Reports from Brazil said the couple even used a knife to try to gouge out the boy’s eyeballs to prevent possible recognition. They then tried to dispose of his body on a barbecue. When that failed, they put some of Rhuan’s remains in a suitcase and dumped them in a sewer. Other body parts were hidden in two backpacks at the couple’s home. The two women face charges of homicide, torture and concealing a corpse.

Business / See Bracelet That Shocks You Up To 150 Times If You Eat Too Much Fast Fast by massmediang: 11:14am On Jun 18, 2019
For those worried about how to avoid eating too much fast food this product probably has your name written on it.

Amazon is selling a bracelet that delivers a 350-volt electric shock every time you commit your bad habit. That doesn’t have to be fast food – it could be smoking or sleeping past your alarm. And all it costs you is £193. Every time you misbehave, you’re supposed to administer the shock – the idea being that it rewires your brain to associate the activity with the uncomfortable zap. Apparently, your mates can also download an app that appoints them as digital guardians, able to give you a buzz if they spot you breaking the rules.
‘Pavlok allows you to speak your reptile brain’s language by adding an unpleasant element (a safe and harmless ‘zap’ of electricity on your wrist) to what you have been taught to love (your nasty lingering habit), quickly conditioning your mind to associate an ‘unpleasant’ feeling with your bad habit… and stopping it all together,’ explains the manufacturer on its Amazon page.

Politics / Another Rochas Okorocha's Flyover In Owerri Begins To Sink - Massmediang by massmediang: 11:26pm On Jun 17, 2019
Motorists in Owerri, Imo State capital, plying the flyover across Okigwe/Orji road, by former Orji mechanic village, are now exposed to danger as the flyover is beginning to show signs of dilapidation.

The flyover was constructed and opened to public use by former governor of the state and Senator representing Imo West, Rochas Okorocha.

On top of the flyover, there is a spot that seems to be sinking on one of the lanes.

Tires were used to cover the spot due to the danger it posed to motorists.

Some observers are of the opinion that the bridge should be closed to motorists while the structure is re-examined to check its strength and safety.

Sports / Outrage As Brazilian President Shows Support For Neymar Over Rape Allegation by massmediang: 10:05pm On Jun 15, 2019
Several women’s rights activities are bracing up for a showdown with Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro after he openly expressed support for PSG and Brazilian international football star, Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, over rape allegations against the footballer.

President Bolsonaro came out in support of Neymar, the national soccer star accused of raping a model in Paris last month, which activists say could further discourage victims from coming forward to report sexual violence.
The soccer player, who is commonly known as Neymar Jr., is “going through a hard time,” Bolsonaro told reporters last week. “But I believe him.”

The president’s remarks on the ongoing case sent shockwaves across Brazil, a country where experts say reporting rates for sexual crimes are lower than they should be.

Najila Trindade Mendes de Souza, a 26-year-old model, waived her right to anonymity to file her complaint against Neymar, 27, who has vehemently denied the allegations and accused her of blackmail.

Pets / Man Runs Into Huge Debt After Adopting 300 Dogs In Two Years by massmediang: 10:51am On Jun 15, 2019
A Chinese animal lover might not love what he is experiencing presently after adopting several dogs.

The animal lover who took in hundreds of stray dogs over the last two years is struggling to make ends meet despite having a stable job and his own business. He has accumulated a debt of 600,000 yuan ($87,000), but he refuses to give up on his four-legged friends.
Up until two years ago, Zhang Kai, a 41-year-old man from Chengdu, China, had a peaceful, comfortable life. He was the manager of a state-owned company and had just opened his own travel agency. But everything changed when his 13-year-old dog, which he had raised since 2003 suddenly died. The tragic event left a void in his life, and somehow made him pay more attention to the countless strays in his city in need of a home. At first, he took in two of them and raised them in his travel agency office, but before he knew it he was taking care of eight strays. Things just snowballed from there, and today he is struggling to take care of 260 dogs, relying solely on bank loans and donations.

Family / 17 Staffers In One Hospital Unit Pregnant, Expecting Babies Within Same Period by massmediang: 9:12am On Jun 15, 2019
This sounds like something in the movies but it’s for real.

At the emergency department of Vanderbilt University’s medical center, 17 women are all pregnant, expecting babies within the same period. This includes 14 nurses, two doctors and one social worker.

The story began this way. One of the staffers, Hillary Slusser thought she had the flu.

She hadn’t been feeling well for a couple weeks but, after getting really sick at work, she went home and took not one, but three pregnancy tests. Just to be sure.

Long story short, she was pregnant. But she wasn’t the only one.

Before Slusser had even publicly announced her pregnancy, her friend and fellow nurse in the emergency department at Vanderbilt University’s medical center posted her sonogram online.

Nothing has been done to evacuate the refuse in the middle of the road, making the area an eyesore.

“There was no way she could get herself out,” her nephew, Matthew Shepherd-Bull, told South West News Service.

The 34-year-old had attempted to climb into the tiny vehicle but when that didn’t work, it was placed over her head.

Business / Creative, Sexist Or Unethical? What Is Your Take On This Bill Board Advert? by massmediang: 11:32am On Jun 10, 2019
There is a raging argument among students in a creative advert class regarding the content of this giant bill board advert located in different parts of the Southeast, especially in major cities.

The advert is on Amstel Malta brand. It shows some cute ladies who are famous or excelling in their various endeavours posing nicely in a shoot. You can see the faces of very popular Super Falcons football team members on the advert. The bill board has a short sentence “We’ve got balls” which seems to be what the ladies are saying, or that is what the advert wants to portray.

The argument on one side is that this is very creative as the girls are saying they have “balls” which is a way of saying they are brave and dogged.

Another angle to the argument is saying that this is a bit unethical since the girls seem to be claiming they have “balls” when they are not actually men.

One other angle says the advertisement is too sexist and it dehumanizes women by saying some of the ladies look like men so they are right by saying “we’ve got balls”. This school of thought argues that the statement has nothing to do with the advertised Amstel malta brand, so the girls are indirectly being trolled as females who look like men.

Fashion / Most Expensive Haircut In The World Cost N2.8 Billion, See Why by massmediang: 8:24am On Jun 10, 2019
Everyone wants to wear a charming hairdo. The hair is one of the major determinants of how good you look. But how much are you willing to pay for a haircut? There are haircuts that are ridiculously expensive though there could be reasons for the unbelievable cost. When a single haircut costs $40,000 then you need to look further to find out whether it’s a one-off haircut for a reason.

The most expensive haircut in the world cost $8,000000 (about N2,880000000). Before you freak out you need to know that it’s actually a one-off by Anne Hathaway, a high-profile Hollywood star. Here’s the story;

Anne Hathaway is as lovely as one can be, whether in her princess hairstyles or in her post-Fantine pixie do after starring in the 2012 film version of Les Misérables. And it was this destitute Fantine hair that got Anne’s haircut into the list of the most expensive, writes financeonline.

Here’s what happened. Director Tim Hooper wanted a really savage haircut using a knife to make Anne’s languishing Fantine look realistic. West End actress Nicola Sloane was entrusted with “hacking” the hair in the scene where Fantine sells her hair in exchange for an embarrassing sum.

As Laughing Colours reports, traveling has always been a big part Lexie’s life as her parents run a travel agency and it almost seems now that she had been working on traveling to visit all 196 sovereign nations since she was a child even though she had no such plans.
Talking about how important traveling has been to her and her family, she says:

“Travel has been a part of my life since before I can remember. My parents would take me out of school and place me on independent study for weeks and months at a time every year.”

She traveled so much even as a child and she had already seen a whole lot of the world from Cambodia to Egypt by the time she grew up.

Health / Lack Of Sleep Shrinks Men’s Testicles, Expert Says (watch Video) by massmediang: 9:28pm On Jun 08, 2019
A Professor at University of California (UC), Professor Matthew Walker, has said that men who don’t get enough sleep have smaller testicles than those who get enough sleep.

This came as a shocker to those present at the venue where the expert made this revelation.

“Men who sleep five hours a night have significantly smaller testicles than those who sleep seven hours or more,” Walker, a UC Berkeley professor of psychology and neuroscience, told the audience at the popular media organization’s April 15-19 conference in Vancouver, Canada.
The video of Walker’s 19-minute “Sleep is your superpower” talk was just posted on the TED Talks website and received more than 1 million views in the first 72 hours (as of publication, it’s up to more than 1,650,000).

Aria Bendix, an innovation reporter for Business Insider who watched more than 100 talks at the conference, was impressed.

Romance / Man Slapped 52 Times In Public By Angry Girlfriend For Not Buying Her New Phone by massmediang: 9:56am On May 30, 2019
In what looks like a love story seen in movies, Chinese man was slapped 52 times in public by his furious girlfriend for not buying her a new smartphone. The slaps could be described as hot slaps, so this was no child’s play and it is trending online.
The Chinese man has been labeled a victim of abuse after being slapped in public a whopping 52 times by his girlfriend, who was apparently upset that he hadn’t bought her a new smartphone for Chinese Valentine’s Day.

Most Chinese couples celebrated May 20th, or “520” – one of the Asian country’s three yearly ‘lovers’ days’ – in a romantic way. But two lovebirds in Sichuan province decided to cause a shocking scene instead.

Videos captured by nearby surveillance cameras as well as passers-by and later shared on social media showed a young woman slapping her boyfriend in the street while viciously scolding him for allegedly failing to buy her a new smartphone as a gift. Although the footage doesn’t show all the slaps, police later confirmed that the man endured no less than 52 of them under the shocked gazes of strangers gathered to witness his humiliation.

What really surprised many of the millions of people who watched the disturbing videos doing the rounds online was the man’s calm attitude as he got slapped hard by his girlfriend. He barely flinches, let alone try to restrain her or retaliate in any way.

Literature / See Four New Harry Potter E-books Are Coming Out, Nigerian Fans Will Love This by massmediang: 9:35am On May 30, 2019
Harry Potter fans in Nigeria and other parts of the World can soon go four books deeper into the world of wizarding.

It is now more than a decade since the seventh and final Harry Potter book hit the shelves and while the story may have brought the titular wizard’s story to a neat conclusion (assuming we all pretend like Cursed Child never happened), Potter-drunk fans will likely be thrilled to hear that Pottermore Publishing announced that four new Harry Potter books are coming out.
The publishers of this classic book are about to release a series of short, non-fiction e-books exploring the “traditional folklore and magic at the heart of the Harry Potter series”, CNN reports

The collection is framed around various Hogwarts lessons. Where did the idea for the individualized guardians of the Patronus charm come from? Perhaps a book on charms and defense against the dark will have the answers.

The series will also feature line drawings from artist Rohan Daniel Eason.

The first titles — “A Journey Through Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts” and “A Journey Through Potions and Herbology” — will be published on June 27.

A release date has not yet been announced for “A Journey Through Divination and Astronomy” and “A Journey Through Care of Magical Creatures.”
