Gobe! Amber Arrested For Almost Biting Off Boyfriend's Manh••d
A drunk man had slept off after a drunken row with his girlfriend but woke up to the most unbelievable sight ever of his girlfriend trying to bite off his penis.

Lobatan! Woman Seeks For Divorce Because Hubby Wouldn't Have S3x With Her Three Times A Day
A woman petitioned a court to dissolve her marriage because her husband refuses to have sex with her at least three times a day, according to court documents filed in the United Arab Emirates.
The woman filed her complaint with the Dubai Sharia Court, claiming that she is suffering from her husband who cannot have sex with her three times per day.
The husband agreed to have sex with his wife four times per week, but the woman insisted that anything less than 3 times per day is unacceptable.
In court, the woman admitted that her husband sleeps with her about 4 times a week.
The court rejected the woman's petition for a divorce, saying that her demands are unreasonable and she is not likely to find any partner who will have sex with her three times a day.
The judge also suggested that the woman seek medical treatment, but she refused, saying that her husband is the one in need of treatment.
The husband underwent a medical examination and was found to be healthy and fit.

Lagosians also need change...
***We forget so soon...
*What happened to the Alausa recruitment process Fashola started last year in which millions of young people applied by registering online through a rigorous process,well nobody might have died like the NIS scam but what of those who are still in emotional trauma from waiting endlessly for a test which would never come.
*What happened to the Alausa recruitment process Fashola started last year in which millions of young people applied by registering online through a rigorous process,well nobody might have died like the NIS scam but what of those who are still in emotional trauma from waiting endlessly for a test which would never come.
*What happened to the hundreds of thousands of students who were thrown out of Lasu for lack of funds when Fashola increased LASU fees from 25k to 350k?
*What happened to the Court judgement ordering Fashola and his godfather's company from collecting toll at the Lekki Epe scam road?
*What happened to the billions Alpha Beta has been stealing on behalf of Fashola and his godfather...I bet you never even knew Mr. Ambode has always been a director of Alpha beta even while he was accountant-general of the state!
*What happened to the thousands of Okada riders Fashola threw out of Business after initially encouraging them by distributing helmets before his reelection and the millions of market women thrown into penury after their local stalls were set ablaze "by accident" only for mega plazas to emerge which these people couldn't afford?
*What happened to the millions of Lagosians whose cases have been worsened and thousands who have lost their lives due to incessant medical doctors' strikes under Governor Fashola?
*How many Lagos houses have access to pipe borne water (no I don't mean bore hole) even though billions are expended to water flowers in the metropolis?
***I can continue but that might not solve anything, rather it's high time Lagosians also seek CHANGE!
If JK grew his Pharmaceutical business from the scratch to the enviable height it has attained, I believe a state can be handed over to him and he shall perform...a piece of my mind!

Umaru are you dead? The Buhari Conspiracy
"Umaru are you dead?"
"No hayam not dead", he answered in-audibly.
Rumours have been going about that APC Presidential candidate is sick which has continually been denied by his party. Yesterday a an alleged "fake" medical report of his diagnosis of Prostrate emerged which was short down by Buhadists. All these are none of my business though atleast not until an annoying Buhadists posted that even if anything happens to Buhari before he completes his tenure, they have a capable hands in Professor Yemi Osinbade sorry Osinbajo to take over the reigns....haaaaa, I forbid una. Is this the change these people have for this nation...
Now a 72-year old man having health issues isn't un_common anywhere in the world but people in this category should dimply retire to a country home where they can manage their "failing health" not attempt to manage a nation.
General Buhari says he is in good condition but then President Yar'Adua said same during his campaign.
Anyway, Vanguard has reported that Buhari is set to travel to the US for a medical reason later this month...issokay!

#MYAFRICANTHOTS! THE ‘god OF DEMOCRACY’ WOULD ALWAYS HAUNT BUHARI
This piece was written in October '14
And so our dear General finally declared his ambition yet again to rule the country on Wednesday and the political terrain went agog. I even heard there was a mammoth crowd at the grounds of the Eagle square where he made the declaration.
Ofcourse the body language of the opposition APC has shown that Buhari would emerge as the Presidential candidate but without mincing words, I must state that it would be an overwhelming loss for the APC.
The above statement is not a fact,neither is it a curse. Rather it is a wish, a wish from a young Nigerian man who is saddened at the nepotism politicians have come to master.
Before I continue, I would like to tell a personal family story. My father, the great Badmus senior was born on 30th August 1960, a few months before Nigeria attained independence. His parents were full of hopes, a young boy was born into promising an emerging nation filled with promises… so they thought.
In December 1983, Major-General Buhari and his cohorts in the military truncated the country's then nascent democracy, removing a civilian government from office and putting the country in yet another dark era of military intervention. My father was just 23 and he still believed in a future which belonged to his generation. This was a period when an actor Ronald Reagan ruled America and was even seeking reelection. Worse of all, people awoke to a new year in 1984 to be told that the country has once again been hijacked by power hungry Khaki boys spearheaded by the calm GMB and his side kick Tunde Idiagbon.
Mr. Buhari would later surface in 2003 when the newly restructured ANPP (from APP) made him their Presidential candidate. What amazes me is why this same man who many claims is an anti-corruption sage want to benefit from a democracy he never believed in.
Many say there was corruption in the land, many say the Shagari led government had so many thieves who were running the country aground but did this call for a military intervention?
Obasanjo came into office in '76 and without wasting time, declared his interest to return the country to a democratically elected government. This would pay off for him decades later when he was chosen by PDP to lead the nation on return to democracy in '99. General Abdulsalam Abubakar spent barely one year in office and handed over to a civilian Government, may the 'god of democracy' bless him.
Buhari took office at the last day of the year (December 31,1983) and could have given Nigerians a pleasant new year present of restructuring the electoral commission, organize fresh "credible elections" and let the country run democratically.
Like many other African leaders, he could have even transformed from a khaki to an 'agbada' head of state even if it was an arrangee election but at least Nigerians would have had a sigh of electoral tendency. But no, Buhari had other plans and he remained in the position until the smiling General sent him away from office two years later.
Now I hardly blame Babangida for Nigeria's democratic woos in the past. If Buhari hadn't chased out Shagari, Nigeria would have had a few years of democracy and perhaps by 1993, the country would have matured a bit but then Buhari didn't want all of that.
From 2003 to 2007 and then he made a return about four years ago only to be defeated again by GEJ after a loss to Obasanjo, Yar' Adua and recently GEJ. Well in 2015, GMB shall loose again.
Any progressive Nigerian who votes this gentle evil is simply laughable. Moreover history has told us Buhari without a Tunde Idiagbon is merely a paper tiger out to seek a vendetta mission against those who have allegedly stolen public funds in the past. Buhari has no progressive agenda, neither does he have a plan to develop the country.
If APC is really a 'Change Oriented' party like it claims, then they should introduce a bredth of fresh air into the polity. At 72, Buhari is too old to even make any significant difference in the country. Asides my personal sentiment over his '83 Coup d' etat, his ruling my father's generation and his wanting to rule mine, this man is just too old.
Buhari ruled Nigeria when my father started his career, today at 54,my dad is a grandfather yet our dear so-called change party cannot bring someone from his generation to be flag bearer!
No,he wouldn't steal my future again.
If Belgium swore-in a 38 year old as Prime minister this year yet it is one of the largest economy in Europe, what excuse does Nigeria have to be presenting a 72Year old man who have obviously had his "time'. North Korea, Georgia, Italy and even Mali all have heads of government in their 30s and recently news went viral that a 35Year old Nigerian might just be the next Prime Minister of the almighty Great Britain.
Have we no shame in this country. Why would we deceive ourselves and hide under a facade of anti-graft crusade to mis-lead people. Have our father's forgotten those dark days of anti-people draconian laws. Have we forgotten how the great educationist Tai Solarin almost died in detention cos he was denied his inhaler to subside his asthma.
Have we forgotten the treatment Professor Wole Soyinka got in the hands of this (then) monster. Nobody even remembers the travails of the later Abami eda who was also incarcerated.
Have we forgotten how he truncated democracy once in this country? Well,you all might have forgotten but democracy hasn't forgotten, may the "god of democracy"never make him win any election.

Open Letter To Jagaban Tinubu; The Unsolicited Yoruba Leader
This piece was written in May,2014
Dear Sir,
It is with benevolence that I write you this unwarranted letter to congratulate you on your numerous achievements which indeed would make other contending leaders envious. I just read on numerous online news medium now that you decided to acquire for yourself a small private jet which costs only a little over $50million(the 2nd in the growing fleet) to make your movement laden with ease. Sir congratulations on this acquisition especially in this era when Boko Haram is quite unpredictable and might attack public carriers without prior prompting. I only hope the jet is not just bullet proof but also bomb proof, "just in case".
I overheard some ignorant people saying your purchasing a jet like my piece is unwarranted especially at this period when the country is in turmoil peculiarly with the abduction of those scores of girls but these people are just ignoble in their criticism. They fail to realize that your party's ideology is "all man for himself" which you have done well in showing us; your able followers.
Moreover, just in case those girls are rescued, remember there is need to pay Borno a grand visit with this new acquisition in order to prove to that boy Shettima that he should rather pitch tent with us permanently instead of that his envious boss Ali Modu Sheriff. Besides there might even be a need to give the girls a lift on this new toy. Congratulations once more sir, after all its not only Dangote or Otedola who knows how to cruise with style.
I hope it is also not too late to further congratulate you on your recent investiture as the chancellor of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology,LAUTECH. Again several people sent me messages expecting me to criticize this meritorious honor but why should I? A whole Asiwaju cum Jagaban who has editors in his pocket, if I do which editor-in-chief would employ me aboard their news medium so I just arbitrarily kept shut 'jeje' as a jobless Nigerian youth.
Moreover who is even more qualified for this honor than you sir, after all your contributions to the education sector especially in Lagos. These people have forgotten how you broke the sanguineous of those mathematicians' who tried to calculate the percentage of your LASU tuition fee increment from N250(two hundred and fifty naira) to N25,000(twenty five thousand naira) in 2005. Was that not how you were able to set an enviable record which was only broken by your able predecessor Babatunde Raji Fashola who increased same from that N25,000 to N250,000 and even N350,000 for some students thereby helping create more drop outs we can use as political thugs due to their half baked knowledge. These people don't even see reason that these increments help create a new set of rights activists and student leaders some of whom you have in your sagacity converted to loyal boys.
It is sad how people nit-pick you. They have forgotten how you advised protesting students of the same LASU during the 2011 fee increment saga to relax and take the increment in good 'fate' as you and your boy only intended to upgrade the school from the advanced secondary school it was to an enviable ivy league citadel. I remember the only embarrassment for us came when two law students from that same "upgraded secondary school" went on to attain first class honors each at the Nigerian Law school, Abuja; those bias idiots who failed your son, Seyi only a year later. I remember he had to retake his bar exam despite all the elitist education you exposed him to.
What would your critics even say when they hear that you advised students not to protest again especially during "my local government elections coming up this weekend because if you do you would be attacked and I would instruct news people who would gather in my parlor to write that you are political thugs". Good thing those students took that advise because am quite sure many of them who have finished their NYSC and those still serving wouldn't have had such mortal luxury.
I can go on and on about your achievements particularly in the yoruba dominated region but time would not permit because I know you might not be chanced to finish reading because of the numerous national issues that begs for your attention in your open home at Boundillon. Please go attend to them o especially the leadership of the Lagos 'agberos' whose support is mostly needed at this critical period when Ekiti and Osun comes to mind not forgetting 2015 which is just around the corner. You are just an exceptional leader,if only people like GEJ would learn from you perhaps he would be taught how to for instance buy the media with that 'dangling carrot' instead of his toothless bull dog threats.
I hope my congratulations is well received.
NB:Sir I am in a dilemma on how to send this piece across to you. If I come to Boundillon, people would say I have come to collect money but then major dailies won't publish it because I am too patisan to your cause. if Linda posts it, your people would say we are both PDP agents. Unfortunately Omojuwa won't post this because he is too much of a sycophant…now how do I post it?
NB: Omojuwa actually posted it but Linda didn't...lol
#EkitiDecides: As Ekiti Goes To The Polls; Heads Shall Roll
This piece was written in June '14...few weeks to the Ekiti Guber elections
The past two months has been spent shuttling between the Ekiti state capital of Ado and Lagos. I incidentally was around in the thick of the campaign but like a smart yoruba man that I am, I had to quickly escape when the polity really got heated. However in the cause of my stay therein, I learnt certain things especially about the major contestants which would be shared below.
Kayode Fayemi: Good man,did great things in the state but quite elitist and realized a little too late the power of the masses. Unlike Fashola in lagos who focused on the elist while Tinubu took care of the masses, the Ekiti masses were politicaly left in the lurch.
His strong points: his wife Erelu Bisi and some members of his cabinet especially the Chief of Staff,Yemi Adaralodu (who is a grassroot mobilizer). Some of his projects would also speak for him especially the stipends being paid to the elderly and his agricultural revolution with the youth. However his relationship with Tinubu would do more harm than good as the good people of Ekiti do not trust the opposition national leader.
Ayo Fayose: The masses man,quite radical but present intent not entirely known. Bad antecedents but appears like a messiah to the masses now that Fayemi is scared of despite incumbency power.
His strong points: GEJ, federal money,Police, Soldiers, Okada riders etc. Fayose is that trojan horse who would keep surprising Ekiti people.
MOB- Bamidele: Confused man,obviously knows he can't win but doing this because he has nothing to loose(remember his sit in NASS remains intact if eventually he looses). Strong points; Good speaker, Guv Mimiko of Ondo's support, has some students support too but ekiti people obviosly knows he is a joker.
The battle is a two-horse race between APC and PDP and its going to be a deadly battle as some families has over the past weeks been relocating until after the election. Fayose has been campaigning with bullet proof vest and only weeks ago, the governor was attacked while campaigning.
Actors to watch out for: Musiliu Obanikoro(the new PDP hatchet man), Unknown Soldiers, INEC Staff (loyal to both divide), NSCDC officials (who would have a field day making arrests)and many more…
Kayode Fayemi: Good man,did great things in the state but quite elitist and realized a little too late the power of the masses. Unlike Fashola in lagos who focused on the elist while Tinubu took care of the masses, the Ekiti masses were politicaly left in the lurch.
His strong points: his wife Erelu Bisi and some members of his cabinet especially the Chief of Staff,Yemi Adaralodu (who is a grassroot mobilizer). Some of his projects would also speak for him especially the stipends being paid to the elderly and his agricultural revolution with the youth. However his relationship with Tinubu would do more harm than good as the good people of Ekiti do not trust the opposition national leader.
Ayo Fayose: The masses man,quite radical but present intent not entirely known. Bad antecedents but appears like a messiah to the masses now that Fayemi is scared of despite incumbency power.
His strong points: GEJ, federal money,Police, Soldiers, Okada riders etc. Fayose is that trojan horse who would keep surprising Ekiti people.
MOB- Bamidele: Confused man,obviously knows he can't win but doing this because he has nothing to loose(remember his sit in NASS remains intact if eventually he looses). Strong points; Good speaker, Guv Mimiko of Ondo's support, has some students support too but ekiti people obviosly knows he is a joker.
