Negiup:
I need three GOOD writers for an ongoing project that will last a minimum of three months. This is a travel blog and the aim is to interest travelers on what to do, hotels to books, restaurants to visit, cuisines to try and more.
The minimum to write is 1000 word and the maximum is 1500. However, I want the writers to be able to curate at least 1100 words because of editing and proofreading processes.
The pay is N1500 per article. Please be advised that I need serious minded and patient people for this project. No fresh writers please, you should be familiar with writing enjoyable travel articles, that are grammatically free from errors, and also free from plagiarism. These are the three basic requirements.
If you are a good writer and are interested, reach me on ibrahimayuba393@gmail.com
Thanks and God bless.

Hello Fam!

I urgently need an amazing writer who's woke enough to write me a 2000 word content on "Touchless Torture." Considering the fact that the above phenomenon isn't popular within the African continent, the one who would write this piece must be ready to engage in a thorough research.

I'll pay #1.5 per word which totals to #3000 for this job.

If interested in the job just drop your WhatsApp number here and I'll contact you on there.

Culture / 15 Historic Figures Who Did Extremely Weird To Horrible Things by TheGrillr(m): 9:51pm On Oct 25, 2014
X. J. Marion Sims - founded gynecology in the most horrifying way possible

Sims is largely considered to be the father of modern gynecology. He developed the first surgical interventions used to repair gynecological problems, and improved the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of women who have had those surgeries. Unfortunately, he developed those techniques by purchasing slave women with medical problem and operating on them - sometimes more than 30 times - with no anesthesia, despite it being available.

http://books.google.ca/books?id=X8uNj1AbaTUC&pg=PA68&dq=j+marion+sims+slaves+anesthesia&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-wYaVI3xBsG1iwLkvIH4BQ&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=j%20marion%20sims%20slaves%20anesthesia&f=false


Emperor Tiberius - had a man's face scrubbed off with a fish, and other lunacy

Tiberius' reign over Rome has often been overshadowed by that of his infamous successor, Caligula. That's a shame, because Tiberius was nuts in his own right. In one famous incident, a random fisherman offered his emperor a particularly nice fish he had caught, and the emperor recognized his generosity by having the man's face sanded raw with the fish's sharp scales - when the man protested, Tiberius had him beaten with a crab he had caught.

He had two of his grandsons appointed to the senate, which was pretty typical for the time. What was not typical was the fact that he got jealous of the honours his grandsons had received - from him - and declared them both to be public enemies. He then ordered an executioner to stand outside his grandson Nero's window at all times with a noose; the stress eventually drove Nero to suicide. He had his other grandson locked in his house, until starvation forced him to eat his own bedding before succumbing to death. He also invited a dignitary to his house once, but forgot who the man was when he arrived. Halfway through torturing the man, Tiberius remembered that he had invited him, but was too embarrassed to admit his mistake and had the man executed to save face.

Ibrahim I of Turkey - drowned his harem of 280 obese women

Ibrahim, dubbed 'Ibrahim the Mad' was a 17th century Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. He was known for his eccentricities, which included harmless fascinations with perfume and fur. He also had a fetish for obese women, amassing a harem of 280 women, some of whom weighed over 150lbs. Ibrahim heard a rumor one day that one of his harem girls had been 'compromised' by another man. His reaction was to tie every single woman in his harem into a weighted sack and tossed them all into a river. Only one survived.

Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov - devoted his life to creating a human/ape hybrid

Ivanov was an (obviously) Russian/Soviet scientist, who is perhaps best known for perfecting the process of artificial insemination, which would revolutionize the fields of agriculture, animal breeding, and human fertility. Ivanov could have retired as a famous and respected scientist at that point, but he wasn't content to just breed a better horse. Ivanov became obsessed with interbreeding humans and apes to create a "humanzee" hybrid - initial experiments involved inseminating female chimps with human sperm, but when those failed, Ivanov reversed the equation to inseminate human women.

King Goujian of Yue - had the most terrifying pre-battle ritual of all time

Goujian was an ancient Chinese king who wished to get the upper hand in battle by intimidating his opponents. To do this, he would put a line of convicted criminals out in front of his soldiers before the battle began. The criminals were then forced to slit their own throats in front of the enemy, scaring the shit out of them.

James Jameson - ordered a girl eaten in front of him

Jameson was the heir to the Jameson whiskey company. During the European Colonialism of Africa in the late 19th century, Jameson took a trip to the Congo and expressed to his companions that he wanted to cannibalism in action. To that end, he purchased a local 11-year-old girl for a couple of handkerchiefs and promptly handed her over to cannibals, instructing them to devour her in front of him while he watched and drew several pictures of the event.

Innocent VIII (1484 - 1492) - Drank the blood of children to stay alive

While Pope, Innocent VIII was most famous for being the first Pope to agree that witches definitely controlled the weather. More remarkably, Innocent fell into a river and required a blood transfusion for his injuries. He took said blood transfusion in the form of drinking the blood of three 10-year-old boys. Who died. Right before he did.

William Lyon Mackenzie King - secretly spoke to the dead for 22 years

Mackenzie King was the longest-serving Prime Minister of Canada, serving a term of 22 years. He guided Canada through the devastating Second World War, implemented most of the social programs Canadians rely on today, and solidified Canadian autonomy by creating the status of "Canadian Citizen". He was also nuts. Mackenzie King was obsessed with spiritualism, and spent the better part of each day having in-depth conversations with his dead family members, that included a deceased family dog - something his party tried desperately to cover up. Mackenzie King's ideas also led him to believe that Hitler was a great mystic spiritual leader, someone who was destined for eternal greatness, despite whatever horrors he committed on Earth.

Julius III - Had a questionable relationship with a teenage urchin

Elected as a comprise candidate, which means no one really wanted him to be pope; he just happened to be the only person that no one hated that much. He started out with ambitious plans to reform the Catholic Church, but quickly realized that it was way more fun to party all day and let the masses fend for themselves. He eventually shamed the entire Catholic church when it was revealed that he was far, far too close to his adopted nephew, leading people to believe that the boy was either his bastard son or his secret teenage lover.

Boniface VIII (1294 - 1303) - Had a hissy fit, murdered an entire city

In literature, Boniface VIII occupies Dante's eighth circle of hell. In real life, Boniface was a Pope who declared that the Vatican should have power over spiritual and civil matters, essentially declaring himself the king. This didn't go over well, and one powerful family in particular - t family - rebelled against the power-hungry Pope. In response, Boniface threw the biggest Papal hissy fit of all time and stormed the family's home city, razing it to the ground and killing or exiling everyone inside. He destroyed an ancient city and all its history to get back at someone who wrote mean things about him.

Leo X (1513 - 1521) - Almost bankrupted the Church out of existence, gold-plated things

Leo X was crowned Pope on March 19, 1513, which was a remarkable feat for a man who had absolutely no interest in the Church or their bestselling Jesus adventure stories. His Papacy marked the absolute last time that Catholics allowed a non-priest to be Pope, for reasons that will become shockingly clear in a moment. In fact, Leo’s rise to power mostly came about from all the sympathy he got for an anal wound he claimed he’d gotten in combat – a wound which historians now believe came about from some good old-fashioned homosexual boning.

Leo’s first major accomplishment as the world’s #1 Catholic was to blow through one of the greatest Papal fortunes in history, nearly bankrupting the Catholic Church. How did he manage that? You see, he just spent so much money feeding the poor and sheltering the homeless that he… no, can’t even finish that sentence. Leo was notorious for his parties. He’s rumored to have declared, upon his election to Pope, “Since God has given us the papacy, let us enjoy it”. And enjoy it, he did.

Leo had apparently skimmed over all those pesky Bible passages about “sinning” and “not hiring naked children as entertainment”, because he spent every moment of his Papacy throwing parties that would have made Ke$ha ask him to tone it down. His favourite forms of entertainment didn’t come cheap; he was especially fond of hiring little boys to jump around naked in cakes for his amusement, racking up cake and child therapy bills that nearly brought down the Roman Catholic empire. Another sane and completely affordable hobby of his was to have people gold-plated. He celebrated a visit to Florence by having a child painting a child from head to toe in super-toxic gold paint and paraded him through the streets until the kid dropped dead of blood poisoning. Even that incident didn’t teach him a lesson about keeping poisonous gold out of sensitive orifices; when his beloved pet white elephant (because of course he had a fucking pet elephant) fell ill with a wicked case of constipation, Leo treated his illness with gold laxatives. Which killed the elephant. To the surprise of absolutely no one but Leo.

Dead children and elephants weren’t the only downsides to Leo’s reign – his hard-partying lifestyle left him so magnificently obese and excessively sweaty that people were actually uncomfortable standing near him at religious ceremonies. So in essence, he was the Rob Ford of the Roman Catholic papacy.

Paul II (1464 - 1471) - Gorged himself to death on melons

Pope Paul II was eccentric, though perhaps no more than any other pope. He supposedly won the papacy election by promising new summer villas and other generous donations to his fellow cardinals. What really set Paul II apart, though, was his death - he is reported to have died as a direct result of over-eating. Specifically, he gorged himself to death on melons.

John XII (955 - 964) - Raped everyone until it got him killed

John XII had sex with everyone who was willing – and raped everyone who wasn’t, including his own sisters. He turned the Vatican into a literal brothel, and had a Cardinal who disagreed with this policy castrated. He was also fond of toasting to the devil, invoking pagan gods, and refusing to make the sign of the cross, none of which sat well with the Catholic church. He went on trial for a list of crimes that would eat up half the word count of this article – including several murders - managed to get himself acquitted, and finished off his Papacy when he was killed by his mistress’ husband after being caught with the man’s wife.

King Charles II of Spain - Had his dead family dug up to keep him company

Charles II was an inbred mess who ruled Spain - mostly with the help of his mother - from 1665 to 1700. Charles suffered from facial abnormalities, seizures, premature baldness, heart defects, skeletal abnormalities and intellectual disabilities. Throughout his reign, he baffled doctors by continuing to live, and proved to be something of a useless king. After his wife died and the Spanish economy collapsed, however, Charles suffered a complete nervous breakdown, and for inexplicable reasons, dealt with it by demanding his long-dead family be exhumed so he could hang out with their corpses.

Clement V (1305 - 1314) - Put his own soldiers to death

The Knights Templar was a medieval organization made up of wealthy Christian men who vowed to protect the interests of the church. The French King Philip IV felt that the organization was a threat to his finances and prestige, and as a result, hundreds of members were arrested and brought up on charges that ranged from the plausible (credit inflation and fraud) to outright lies (sodomy and heresy). Clement V was fully aware that the King's motives were financial, not moral, and so he summoned a council to decide the guilt or innocence of the men. The men were found innocent... and then for inexplicable reasons, the Pope went over the council's heads and declared them guilty anyway, executing dozens and handing their assets over to the French King. Clement V was also apparently a fan of Risk, as he was fond of playing European countries against each other for his own amusement.
