SHOCKING: Nigerian Lady Excretes Hard Drugs inside Aircraft
Chizoba Anya, a Nigerian lady, has excreted wraps of substance that tested positive for methamphetamine on-board a Qatar Airline Flight from Malaysia to Nigeria, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said on Monday.
NDLEA said the 32-year old suspect was said to have aroused suspicion following her frequent visits to the toilet.
“On arrival at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, three wraps of methamphetamine were found in her possession,” said Mitchell Ofoyeju, NDLEA spokesperson.
NDLEA commander at the Lagos Airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, said that the suspect while under observation excreted two additional wraps.
“The suspect was found with three wraps which she excreted in the aircraft. While she was under observation at the Lagos airport, she excreted two additional wraps of drugs.
“The five wraps which tested positive for methamphetamine weighed 80 grammes,” Umar said.
Preliminary investigation also revealed that the suspect left Ghana where she ingested the drugs to Malaysia.
“In Malaysia, she was denied entry and made to board another flight back to Nigeria. She started excreting the drugs at the airport in Malaysia,” NDLEA said.
The agency quoted the suspect as saying in her statement that she was offered half a million naira to smuggle the drugs to Malaysia.

Woman with 7ft Wide buttocks and proud (Photos)
'My bottom is 7ft wide and I'm proud of it!' says a woman with backside so large she once broke a toilet and can't fit through doors, says she hopes to inspire larger ladies.
She has to wear extra large trousers and once managed to crack a toilet bowl just by sitting on it but Sarah Massey, 33, says she is proud to have one of the world's largest posteriors.
The Chicago mother-of-two's derriere measures an impressive 7ft in diameter and sometimes proves too large to fit through doorways.
But despite being proud of her record-breaking rear end, 32-stone Ms Massey admits that living with a super-sized bottom isn't always easy and receives £750 in disability benefit each month as a result of having limited mobility.
'Everyday I get some kind of comment thrown at me, both good and bad - I used to be ashamed but now I hold my head high,' she revealed.
'At school I was teased and called Dump Truck Butt by the other kids, but the condition is hereditary - there's nothing I can do about it.

'I went through a stage of worrying what people think, but now I want to show the world I am proud to be me.'
'Some people can't believe one person can have this much butt,' she adds. 'Because I've got a relatively small frame on top they say, "that can't be real".
'I carry this weight with me all the time, everywhere I go, it's definitely not fake. Big booty's are just in my blood.'

(Viewers discretion) Boko Haram brutally slaughter eight during Bachelors party in Maiduguri.
At least eight persons were reportedly killed yesterday in Maiduguri by suspected Boko Haram members.
The gunmen stormed a venue of a bachelor party and started shooting sporadically, killing eight persons on the spot.
Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan ordered an all out offensive against the northeastern rebels in Africa’s leading energy exporter.
Though they retreated into a hilly area around the Cameroon border, the rebels have since stepped up attacks on both soldiers and civilians.
“Three Boko Haram members came on motorcycles at about 11 yesterday night,” Abdul Usman told Reuters in the main northeastern city of Maiduguri, where he fled after escaping the attack on Tashan Alade village. “They were shooting indiscriminately.”
Nigerian forces have stepped up the offensive against the rebels in the past few days after Boko Haram fighters armed with grenade launchers and anti-aircraft guns attacked an army barracks in the town of Bama.

US Spy Drone Crash Lands into Home in Ibadan
A mysterious flying object believed to be a US spy drone flew into a toilet of a house located at Awotan in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria.
Aviation sources are saying that the spacecraft with registration number TX 5803, inscribed on a black battery is a drone which must have taken off from NASA base in Texas in the US, stating that the battery attached to the spacecraft powered it and enabled it to move around so that it could do the bidding of those who sent it.
The suspected drone has since been handed over to security operatives for further investigation amidst speculations that the suspected drone is United States’ latest spying venture in Nigeria.

''Eagles Will Win 2014 World Cup If...'' – Guru Maharaj Ji Predicts Victory, Gives Condition
He made this known to Daily Independent at his Spiritual Village, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, while speaking on plans to mark his spiritual birthday on January 1, 2014.
Maharaj Ji was determined speaking about it:
"I have said it and nothing will change it. If the Super Eagles handler, Stephen Keshi, shows more love to Maharaj Ji, the true name of the Almighty. He will lead the team to victory that will shock the world.
"I want him and top shots of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to visit Maharaj Ji Village and let us have a discussion. Let them come and put Maharaj Ji’s power to test. I cannot be here and Nigeria won’t be able to conquer the world.
"I told them before that Eagles will win the Nation’s Cup and so it was. The powers of Chukwujekwukwu will touch the players again and they will have strength to run faster as children of the light than any other team at the tournament. Nigerians should come and avail themselves of the opportunity of the power now.
“Keshi should humble himself more. I foresee the cup coming to Nigeria in 2014. Nigerians should stop doubting because the Living Perfect Master is talking. I think by now government in its own wisdom would have shown appreciation to me for the victory of Eagles at the last Nation’s Cup. They should know that it is only by encouraging me that they receive more."
The Spiritual Leader proceeded:

I don't believe in God says Katty Perry, READ why.
Katy Perry, the 29-year-old singer and songwriter, is revealing that while she prays she no longer identifies with Christianity.
“I don’t believe in a heaven or a hell, or an old man sitting on a throne. I believe in a higher power bigger than me because that keeps me accountable,” she told Marie Claire magazine recently.
“Accountability is rare to find, especially with people like myself, because nobody wants to tell you something you don’t want to hear.”
Perry, who took the Billboard charts by storm with her hit song “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008, told Marie Claire that she no longer considers herself a Christian despite being raised by Christian ministers.
“I’m not Buddhist, I’m not Hindu, I’m not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God. I pray all the time – for self-control, for humility,” she told Marie Claire.
“There’s a lot of gratitude in it. Just saying ‘thank you’ sometimes is better than asking for things.”
Despite her decision to perform music that may seem controversial to the Christian community, the chart-topping singer has never shied away from crediting the Christian church for giving her a start as a performer.

Pastor drowns while attempting walk on water.
A news organization, WORLDNETDAILY (8/30/06) has reported the following unfortunate incident:
“An evangelist who tried replicating Jesus’ miracle of walking on water has reportedly drowned off the western coast of Africa. Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle, and he attempted it from a beach in Gabon’s capital of Libreville. ‘He told churchgoers he’d had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus,’ an eyewitness told the Glasgow Daily Record.
‘He took his congregation to the beach saying he would walk across the Komo estuary, which takes 20 minutes by boat. He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head and he never came back.’
A researcher at Florida State University believes he has a natural explanation for the account of Jesus’ miraculous walk on the surface of water — ice. Professor of Oceanography Doron Nof and the co-authors
of his study theorize that a rare combination of optimal water and atmospheric conditions resulted in a unique, localized freezing phenomenon called ‘springs ice.’"
This horrible incident, together with a “professor’s” response, progresses from the tragically untaught to the supremely obtuse.

Beatie is a transgender male who preserved his female reproductive organs and gained media attention after publicly announcing his pregnancy in 2007.
After three children, Beatie wants a fourth. This time, he is hoping his new girlfriend, Amber Nicholas, will carry the child. His ex, Nancy, was unable to get pregnant because she underwent a hysterectomy 25 years ago “Being pregnant was the most incredible experience, but we want Amber to do it this time around,” he told the Mirror. “I think it would be amazing to experience pregnancy as the father.” Beatie gained international attention during his first pregnancy when he posted photos of himself shirtless with a beard and a pregnant belly. "The first doctor we approached was a reproductive endocrinologist. He was shocked by our situation and told me to shave my facial hair," he wrote for The Advocate in 2008 while pregnant with his first daughter. Adding, "A few months and a couple thousand dollars later, he told us that he would no longer treat us, saying he and his staff felt uncomfortable working with 'someone like me.'" After medical complications, Beatie gave birth to baby girl, Susan, in 2008. Wow this is very weird. The weirdness in this world. All i can say is WOW!!

How to catch a cheating boyfriend. Guys are gonna hate us for this.
I know guys are going to hate us for this, but really its better to be single and go around having flings than trap a girl and make her suffer.
If you suspect that your boyfriend is cheating on you,What can you do? Here are some things you can do to find out.
- Be direct and ask him if he's cheating on you. He may lie or he may tell you the truth. But either way, he will know that his relationship with you is in trouble. Don't let him off the hook. It's time to talk about boundaries and trust issues.
- Check his mobile phone for phone calls or text messages from other girls. If you can get your hands on his mobile phone bill (on paper or online), you might be able to see who he's been talking to and texting with. Long conversations and lots of texting to one particular number are red flags.
- Check his email, Myspace, Facebook, and instant messaging accounts. Many times, cheaters use the Internet to carry on their sneaky business. Check his computer often to see if he forgot to log out. Don't respond to messages as him, however - that's an easy way to get caught spying before you catch him cheating!
''Girls fight for me now because i have celebrity status'' - Mr Ugly Zimbabwe contest winner.
Mr Ugly, William Masvinu says women are throwing themselves at his feet. But he is not interested. Scooping the Mr Ugly title twice in a row is undisputable testament that Harare man, Masvinu, is indeed very ugly and deserves the accolade. Masvinu who shares his mobile with his wife Alice Chabhanga who is almost always by his side, said he does not have time for ‘girls’. “Zvevasikana handina dhiri nazvo, I have my own girl at home and one needs to be careful these days because there are diseases,” said
Masvinu. Masvinu is confident of his looks and is unfazed by people who stare at him in the streets. “My ugliness comes naturally to me and although I did a bit to prepare for the show, I let my looks do the rest. Now I am a celebrity, when people meet me in the street they shout Mr Ugly and I wave at them happily,” he said. Masvinu, who is a part time mechanic, revealed that he has also ventured into acting and features in a film titled Fuse Yatsva which has already been produced.
“These days I spend time selling my film on the streets of Harare and people like it,” he said. Last year, the 39-year-old was quoted bemoaning the lack of corporate support for “celebrities” like him. He said as the reigning Mr Ugly Harare, he should be in the same league with superstars such as Oliver Mtukudzi. “Despite my celebrity status, my life hasn’t changed and I still struggle to make ends meet,” he said.
“The corporate world should support me as I am a celebrity just like other musicians and top people,” he said. But, he added, as a celebrity he now enjoys numerous free drinks and beer and often gets into shows without paying as people “respect” his celebrity status. It is just a matter of time before Masvinu proves how far he can go as a celebrity or whether he will make headlines for grabbing other people’s wives

PRAY for Baghdad Christians. Christmas bomb attacks kill 34 Christians.
(Reuters) - At least 34 people were killed in bomb attacks in Christian areas of Baghdad on Wednesday, some by a car bomb that exploded near a church after a Christmas service, police and medics said.
The car bomb killed at least 24 people, most of them Christian, when worshippers were leaving the church in the Doura district of southern Baghdad, police sources said.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Violence in Iraq has risen to its worst levels in more than five years as hardline Sunni militants linked to al Qaeda step up attacks on the Shi'ite-led government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and anyone seen as supporting it. Many thousands have been killed in attacks this year.
The minority Christian community has been a target of attacks by al Qaeda militants in the past, including a 2010 attack on a church that killed dozens of people.
Two bombs also went off in a crowded market in a separate, mostly Christian area in Doura, killing another ten people, police and medics said.
At least 52 people were wounded in the attacks.
A series of car bombs, shootings and suicide attacks killed scores of Shi'ite Muslim pilgrims in the week before the Shi'ite holy day of Arbaeen, which coincided with Christmas Eve this year.

Real life spider man.Climbs a 1000ft building with bare hands.
This is the moment a daredevil climber scaled a 1,000ft building with his bare hands over a busy city.
Alain Robert, known as the French Spiderman, clung on to Shimao Horizon Center Building for dear life in Shaoxing city, East China’s Zhejiang province.
Mr Robert wore a light pink shirt and climbing trousers with a small harness as he slowly pulled his way right around the building, which measures 288 metres, on Saturday.
Below, cars looked like tiny dots and views stretched right out to the horizon – but the happy chap seemed less than bothered by his precarious position.
The 51-year-old has been climbing tall buildings since the age of seven, and has scaled the Empire State Building, Chicago’s Willis Tower and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
And not one to rest for long, he embarked on Doha’s La Cigale Hotel in 2008 and Sydney’s 57-storey Lumiere skyscraper in 2010.
He also scaled the 985ft Torch tower in Qatar’s capital Doha in 75 minutes without a rope or harness last year, to set a fastest time.

A man dressed as Santa Claus has been found dead and hog tied after he threatened partygoers with a knife in Russia.
Investigators said the man attended the house party in the Russian city of Yakutsk and had to be subdued when he began threating two other partygoers with a knife.
His hands and feet were tied with rope, and his girlfriend tied her scarf around his mouth to stop him for yelling and then left him outside in the cold.
As the girlfriend was escorting all the guests out of the house she went to check on her boyfriend and found him dead.
Detectives are still trying to work out the cause of the man's death.
70 Dead, Including15 Soldiers In Bama Attack, Defence Headquarters Confirms
At least 55 civilians and 15 soldiers died in the military operations to track down the insurgents who carried out the last Friday’s pre-dawn attacks on Mohammed Kur Barracks in Bama, Borno State.
The remaining 55 comprised of 50 insurgents and five villagers.
The Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, who made this known in a statement on Monday, added that 20 vehicles belonging to the insurgents were also destroyed during the attack.
Olukolade said the vehicles were sighted during an air connoisseur exercise while they were about to escape to Cameroun.
He said that some of the insurgents were arrested while several others escaped with gunshot wounds.
Boko Haram bury their weapons in a cemetery!!
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Azubuike Ihejirika, has said the Army has information that some arms and ammunition were buried in the Apo Cemetery, Abuja, by some Boko Haram members.
He said the Army had been unable to locate where they were hidden because the person who hid the weapons was on the run.
Gen Ihejirika said the weapons were to be used in an attack on Abuja by the sect earlier this year.
The Army Chief spoke yesterday at a public hearing by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on the September 20 killing of eight residents at an uncompleted building in Apo.
Security personnel had invaded the house, said to be inhabited by about 100 people, on the claim that the inhabitants were Boko Haram members.
Gen Ihejirika, who was represented by the Commander, Brigade of Guards, Maj Gen Emmanuel Atewe, justified the invasion of the house.
He said the operation in Apo was informed by a report from the Department of State Security (DSS), alleging an attack by members of the Boko Haram.
“Between September 18 and 19, two persons were arrested in Abuja and they made useful confessions that there was a cache of arms hidden at Apo Cemetery to be used in a planned attack,” he said.
GOOD NEWS!!! : Women Abducted by Boko Haram in Bama Escape
The Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, revealed on December 24, 2013, Tuesday that some women kidnapped by the Boko Haram sect in Bama have escaped from their abductors.
“Two or three women were kidnapped and luckily they escaped.
“So is not true that Boko Haram is holding unto women and kids,” the Governor said.
Mr. Shettima stated this while speaking to journalists in Abuja after meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan.
Responding to questions on the claim that the barrack is now deserted, Mr. Shettima said:
“It is not true. I am the man on ground and I can tell you authoritatively what is happening.
“Women and children normally during crisis are moved to safer locations but the soldiers are on ground, they are right now in Bama and are doing their job very well”.
