Wonders: Femi Kuti Reveals That DNA Test Proved That Two Out Of His Five Children Are Not His

Femi Kuti, in an interview with Encomium magazine shared to the public that two out of the five children he has shown love as the real father were not his. This he recently found out and it was confirmed from the DNA test that was conducted on Tosin, a boy, and Dupe, a girl. The two were born after his first son. So the DNA result proved they are not his biological children.

"I did a DNA test and was told two of the children are not mine. The first two (after Made), a boy and a girl. It is very serious. I never knew somebody could give you what is not yours. I’ve three boys now. I can’t father children I was tricked to believe I am their father,” he said

Femi says he has since returned the children to their mothers. 

Guy Impregnates 4 Female Prison Guards Inside Prison

Four female prison guards were shamelessly impregnated by the guy pictured above in a prison in Baltimore. He is a gang leader so powerful he boasted in the jail, 'I am the law'.

The man, identified as Tavon White, showered the female guards with gifts including cars and some very expensive diamond rings.

He reportedly made $16,000 a month from smuggling drugs and cellphones into prison with help from his accomplices.

In fact, Tavo White is so bad that an FBI wire tap captured White saying, ‘This is my jail. You understand that,’ and claiming to control everything from contraband to mob hits within the prison.

Four guards – Jennifer Owens, Katera Stevenson, Chania Brooks and Tiffany Linder – got pregnant for him while he was behind bars.

Owens had ‘Tavon’ tattooed on her neck and Stevenson had ‘Tavon’ tattooed on her wrist. The sad details came to light after authorities busted a major smuggling ring inside the prison – and 13 female prison guards, seven inmates and five co-conspirators face racketeering charges.

Guards allegedly smuggled hard drugs and mobile phones into prison in their shoes for the ‘Black Guerrilla Family’, a gang which also operates on the streets of Baltimore City.

Interestingly, the four pregnant ladies and other officers involved in the dirty deal have been suspended and the department are moving to fire them from service.

Are Avocados Fattening or Can They Help You Lose Weight? Please Read

One of the biggest and most persistent dietary myths is that it is primarily eating fat that makes you fat.

 

According to Jim Dillan of Superfoods profiles, there is such a world of difference between the various types of dietary fats that lumping them all together, as some doctors and dietitians are still doing, is almost unbelievable. 

While you could debate the merits of saturated animal fats (and some, like the very knowledgeable people at the Weston Price Institute would argue in their favor). And the trans and hydrogenated fats found in margarine and the vegetable shortening and processed oils in so many supermarket products are clearly cause for concern. There is a lot of evidence that the highly refined carbohydrates, that are so prevalent in the modern diet, are far bigger source of the growing epidemic of obesity and associated diseases.

Avocado, Calories and Monounsaturated Fats

While avocados may be considered a reasonably high calorie food (approximately 160 calories per 100 grams), around two thirds of those calories come from healthy monounsaturated fats. Research has shown that monounsaturated fats are much more likely to be used as slow burning energy for your body than saturated fat. They are also less likely to be stored as body fat.

As an added benefit, diets high in the oleic fatty acids found in avocados may help reduce your blood levels of unhealthy LDL cholesterol at the same time as raising beneficial HDL cholesterol.

Monounsaturated fatty acids also aid in the absorption of fat soluble nutrients from the meal they are eaten with. 

The nutritional properties of avocado on its own are outstanding, but when eaten in a salad or with other antioxidant rich vegetables, it can greatly increase your uptake of their nutrients as well.

Hunger and Weight Gain

Aside from the obvious health benefits of getting more out of the food you are eating, this can also help reduce excessive hunger over time. This is because the feeling of being hungry is not always associated with a real need by our bodies for more food.

Often we mistake thirst for hunger, so it’s always a good idea to have a glass of water before reaching for unhealthy snack food.

At other times, especially if you’ve eaten not that long ago, feeling hungry can be our body’s way of telling us it needs more nutrients.

When you are regularly eating nutritious foods you are less likely to feel hungry again soon after eating. In fact, with their rich taste, healthy fats, low carbohydrates and high protein and fiber content, avocados are well known to increase increase satiety – that feeling of satisfied fullness after you eat.

By comparison, meals based primarily around high carbohydrate foods like bread, pasta, rice and potatoes generally stimulate hunger by the way they raise the levels of insulin in our blood.

 

Insulin is, amongst many other important things, the hormone that removes excess glucose from our blood. It stores this, sometimes in the muscles or liver, but obviously more commonly for many people, in the adipose fat cells around the waist.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, this storage process often leads to low blood sugar, which stimulates more hunger for carbohydrates. It’s called the insulin rollercoaster for good reason and the brief highs really aren’t worth all the weight gain, tiredness and hunger so many people are putting themselves through on it.

The only good time for a high carbohydrate meal is generally after heavy exercise if you are already fit. The rest of the time there’s a much better daily energy, and a natural steady weight loss to be found in meals low in concentrated carbohydrates like grains, and based instead around a variety of nutrient rich vegetables, along with healthy sources of protein and fat.

Losing weight is rarely just about calories and ‘energy in energy out’. A rarely discussed but essential component is intestinal health and how it impacts weight gain.

Have you tried eating more not less healthy fats like those found in avocado for weight loss? I’d be interested to hear from anyone who’s had success with going against the old counting calories methodology.

Goodluck!

Oh Really? Man Marries Tree - See Photos

A man in Colombia has married a tree.

 

A Peruvian actor named Richard Torres married a tree for the second times in his life on Sunday. The ceremony took place in Bogota national park and included the placing of fruit and vegetable by young girls at the base of the tree. The bride who looked rather apathetic and wooden was wearing a white veil. It should be noted that even a kissing part of the ceremony was performed.

It is the second time Torres marries a plant in an attempt to raise awareness of environmental issues.

 

One word for this man please….

10 Important Things You Should Do in 2015

With a new year just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how you can make the New Year incredible. The New Year is often associated with great resolutions and brave undertakings. A new year gives you an opportunity to start a new better life. You have a chance to change things, starting right now. Define what you want to do and what you have to accomplish in the coming year. What should you start with?

Here are 10 important things you should do daily in 2015.

Maybe you will think these things are not so important, but think twice before jumping on quick conclusions.
 

1. Drink more water

It may sound silly, but most people are chronically dehydrated. Dehydration can affect everything from your concentration and memory to your energy levels. Drinking more water over the next 12 months will make a big difference in your life. Most people, however, drink much less water than required simply because they don’t feel thirsty. What are the ways to drink more water every day? Splurge on a beautiful water bottle of your favorite color or unusual design. Keep the bottle close at hand and don’t forget to refill it each hour. Adding your favorite flavor such as mint or orange is also a good way to encourage you to drink more. Drink a glass of water as an appetizer before meal. This trick will also help you to eat less and lose weight.

2. Give a hug a day

Whether or not you live with someone, make a point of giving somebody a hug every day. The human contact is a great way to boost your mood and no one can resist hugging back. Hugging has a powerful healing properties; it helps to combat anxiety, loneliness, depression and many other diseases. While hugging people exchange their energy, which helps them create strong bonds and relationship. Our touches are a very powerful tool of non-verbal communication. They help to display the wide range of emotions with great accuracy. Hugging is equally important to both parties. Don’t overlook hugging your family members, friends or even colleagues the next time you see them.

3. Do something you’ve been waiting to do

Have you always wanted to visit Mexico? Are you yearning to write a book? This is the year to do it. The beginning of a new year is a good time to compose your bucket list and start realizing your dreams. No matter what your reasons are for putting your dreams off, take steps this year to reaching them. No one knows how long they will live and it may be too late if you wait too long. Don’t be afraid to dream big, to take the first step or to face the inevitable obstacles. The most important thing to remember if you want to make your dreams come true is to forget the phrase ‘What if’. Unless you get rid of this thought, you will always hesitate over a choice.

4. Write a will

Most people agree that writing a will is a right idea, but still most of us put off this significant moment. If you don’t have a will, write one this year. It will save your family a lot of hassle if you should pass. Unfortunately, many people do not have a valid will and when they die, things can get very complicated. Make it easy on your family and make out that will. You should consider writing a will if you’re unmarried or remarried with kids from the first marriage. This way you’ll be sure that your children will be provided with a share of your property. Moreover, while writing a will you’ll reconsider and sort out your affairs and clarify the current state of things. 

5.  Save for big items

Whether or not you are currently in debt, you can save yourself a lot of trouble by saving up the cash for large purchases instead of putting it on the credit card or doing payments. Buying a big-ticket item always requires a detailed planning. You should make a list of the desirable items, define the price and established time frame. Alter your plan when needed either by postponing minor purchases or by cutting your expenses. If you can’t pay for it up front, you should rethink whether you really need the item.

6. Connect with people

Don’t let yourself sink into the world of technology. Take time to meet up with friends for coffee or lunch and get out in the world. When you connect with others face to face on a regular basis, you will find that you are much happier. Not only is face to face communication more productive, it’s also about non-verbal cues that add a personal touch and help people understand one another better. In the era of global computerization, it’s really hard not to use the Internet. But I try to limit my time online by avoiding online shopping, chatting and browsing.

7. Live according to your priorities

What do you want to get out of life? Are you living in a way that reflects that? If not, you should take a good look at your life and decide what you need to change. You will be happier if you follow your goals. A lot of people are lost in their lives because they fail to recognize their real values and goals. Your desires are influenced greatly by media, fashion and society, which prevents you from living your own life. However, living in accordance with your inner needs is a pledge of fulfillment and content. If you feel that you live somebody else’s life, you should step back and reconsider your choices. 

8. Tell someone what they mean to you

Don’t just take those around you for granted. Take a moment to let them know how much you appreciate them. Anyone you know can be told, since it doesn’t need to be a declaration of your undying love. Compliments and kind words are valuable to both giver and receiver. Saying a kind word is the easiest way to boost somebody’s spirits and make one’s day. Tell your barista that you appreciate her sunny attitude every morning. Not only will you feel good, you’ll make a difference in someone else’s life.

9. Decide to be happy

Happiness is a state of mind. It is also a set-point and it will take you a long time to learn to be happy no matter what. It’s possible to be happy even when circumstances are against you. If things aren’t going your way, make a point of looking for a bright spot in the clouds. Yes, our well-being is greatly determined by genetics, living conditions and many uncontrolled factors. Still, happiness is something we definitely can control. It isn’t always easy, but if you dedicate yourself to being happy for an entire year, you’ll have the whole process down by the end of the year. Just find something you can be grateful for and enjoy the present moment.

10. Smile

Part of being happy is just smiling. It will make you feel better and smiles are contagious. Everyone around you will have to smile when you’re smiling. Studies show that a change in a person’s expression such as a smile leads to physiological changes and production of feel-good hormones. In other words people feel better even when they imitate a smile. A grin is a little thing, but it really has a big impact on your life and those around you.

Now that 2015 is almost upon you, it’s time to start making some goals. Defining the points that you should focus on provides a good motivation and encouragement. Remember that a new year offers you hundreds of opportunities and it’s a great time to reach your goals. You and you alone are responsible for making the next year a great one. What are your goals for 2015?

Incredible: Things to Accomplish till the End of the Year

The holiday season is almost here. Many of us are extremely busy preparing for it since we want this holiday season to be special and unforgettable. The new year is a wonderful chance to make a step into your new life. Sometimes the burden of the past and present moment doesn’t let you start a new phase of life. For the sake of future success, you should use your pre-new year time and opportunities to tie up loose ends before you move to a new circle of adventures.

Wise people and psychologists advise to free the mind of anxiety, negativity and resentment, because these feelings tie your hands. It’s not a good idea to carry all wrongs, difficulties and unresolved issues on your shoulders. Do your best to fulfill all the tasks and plans. Moreover, try to say good bye to all squabbling and dead ends of the old year. Here are things you should accomplish till the end of the year.

1. Debts and promises

Do you know that it’s desirable to pay off all your debts till the end of the year? Many superstitious people believe that a good year beginning sets the tone of its run. If you’re able to find money and satisfy all your creditors, then it’s okay. If you’re up to the neck in debt, then try to be a realist and not to stuff your head with different superstitions. Instead of falling to pieces, you’d better instill confidence in your abilities and try to work more in order to increase your profits. When you complete this task, you’ll have a chance to start living and enjoying a debt free life.

You shouldn’t also forget about your broken promises. You might have promised your sister to go shopping together, and unfortunately, failed to do it. It’s high time to keep your word, because next year no one will treat your words and promises seriously.

2. Get rid of bad habits and improve health

If you’re an active smoker, you should realize that smoking isn’t the best quality of a successful and real woman. I’m sure that you have a lot of other negative habits and little disadvantages, but it’s not a problem at all. It’s been scientifically proved that a human being is able to get rid of almost all bad habits in one day, but everything depends on the strength of your willpower. Your habits are the result of your mental decision, because people usually do things they find pleasant and it’s not easy to resist the temptation to do something wrong.

The next significant thing to do is to take care of your health. Even torpid diseases can exert strong negative influence on your emotional well-being and put a damper on your festive spirit. Find time to visit your doctor and make all necessary examinations. Remember that healthy diet and regular exercise keep the doctor away.

3. Forgive and release past hurts

Before you go to your doctor, you should try to understand yourself and let your hidden resentment go. Just draw conclusions and forget about troublesome moments. These feelings can spoil not only the holiday season, but the whole next year as well. There’re many effective ways to forgive and free your heart of negative feelings. Just take a clean sheet of paper and write down all offenses and worries that keep a tight rein on your mind. Read it aloud and tell yourself that you forgive everyone and everything. It will help your negative energy fade away.

4. Throw away unnecessary stuff

People keep a lot of unnecessary and pointless items at home. They tend to clutter their houses up due to their habit to have everything close at hand. It’s important to realize that your home is not storage. According to feng shui, these people are less successful, because their energy flow is blocked. Feng shui specialists say that those who don’t fear to give something can gain and achieve more.

I understand that every item reflects certain memories and emotions, but these emotions should remain forever in your mind, not in your house. You should be brave and determined enough to thoroughly clean your house and throw away your old things. Purification of your mind is no less important than housecleaning. Try to get rid of your obsessive and negative thoughts, and you’ll have an opportunity to take a deep breath next year.

5. Get rid of toxic people

Today both environmental problems and the consumption of junk food aren’t as dangerous for your life as direct communication with toxic people. These evil-wishers might have presented a great number of unpleasant surprises to you this year. If possible, try to cross these people out of your present life. Next year promise yourself to surround yourself only with positive people who will let your inner sun shine.

6. Make plans for 2015

It’s better to make a plan of concrete actions for the future in advance. What would you like to improve or change in 2015? It’s up to you, because you’re the only one who can set correct priorities for the coming year. Try to analyze the present year and you’ll know what spheres of your life you should improve. Many of us choose family and experience; others tend to earn more money. My boss often advises our team to focus on experience, money will follow. I support this idea.

Don’t tell yourself that there’s no time to change or finish something. I believe that most of these pieces of advice can be fulfilled in one or two days. All you need is a big desire to improve yourself. If you accomplish everything this year, you’ll be ready to face the challenges of a new year. Making plans should be a point number one in your list. This significant step will motivate you to reach for the sky and move forward next year. Do you believe that all sorrows and unresolved situations of this year can have a negative impact on the coming year? We’d like to know your opinion!

A BOY THROWN INTO RIVER FOR WITCHCRAFT IN AKWA IBOM STATE

A10-year-old boy, Usen Okon, who was thrown into the Imo River in the Ikot Abasi area of Akwa Ibom State, over witchcraft accusation, has survived the ordeal.

A non-government organisation, the Humanist Association for Peace and Social Tolerance Advancement and its partner, Child’s Rights and Rehabilitation Network, said the boy was being taken care of by the groups.

The Senior Project Manager of the organisation, Mr. Ayobami Ojedokun, told our correspondent in Uyo on Tuesday that Okon was under the care of his paternal aunt, identified simply as Ekaeyen, at Etebi community in the Esit Eket Local Government Area of the state as his parents had died.

 

He said a few days ago, Okon was aroused from sleep by Ekaeyen who took him to her husband and asked him to confess to being a wizard.

He added that when Okon denied the witchcraft accusation, his aunt threatened to throw him into a river.

 

Ojedokun said Ekaeyen, true to her words, on November 16, took Okon to the Imo River and threw him into the water with the hope that he would drown.

“She actually threw Okon into Imo River thinking that the boy would drown. The boy came out of the water alive and went to their home, only to be told that her auntie had relocated,” Ojedokun said.

 

The Project Director, Mr. Adeyemi Johnson, added that HAPSTA/CRARN have reunited 16 children to their families from January to November, and referred two children to Ministry of Women Affairs.

 

He added that HAPSTA/CRARN had also rescued 17 children from January till date, while the organisation had 15 children in its centre.

“We also organise advocacy town hall meetings in Okobo, Ebughu and Etinan, where child witches stigmatisation are commonplace. We brought pastors and child rights activists together through a meeting at Ikot Abasi,” he said.

 

The acting Police Public Relations Officer, Akwa Ibom State Police Command, Mr. Iboro Victor, said he was not aware of the incident.

“The incident is not to my knowledge right now,” he said.

Evil: Woman Disappears With Four Kids Within 30mins Of Starting a New Job As a Teacher

A woman simply identified as eleha (woman in purdah) on November 18, 2014 disappeared with 4 kids at a neighbourhood home lesson in Idi-Omo area of Ibadan, Oyo State. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to Tribune, the children are yet to be found till the writing of this report today.

The four missing children, whose names were given as Abdulsalam Aderibigbe, Abigail Adegunju, Chidiebere and Onyiyechukwu were reportedly taken away by the eleha who disguised as someone in need of an employment. She struck within 30 minutes of starting her job as a lesson assistant. 

The 33-year-old proprietress of  Mrs Kafayat Olatubosun, has described the incident which led to the disappearance of the four pupils in her care as one that is like a devil stalking her, after which he crept in and struck.

According to Mrs Olatunbosun who is nursing a 14-month-old baby and is currently kept in protective custody at State Criminal Investigation, Iyaganku, Ibadan:

 

 “I started operating a neighbourhood lesson for children at Sagbolada Compound, Idi Omo, Ibadan in 2009. I rented a space in the compound and I pay N500 monthly for it. I have about 35 pupils between the ages of one-and-half and three. Sometimes, primary school pupils sent home from their schools because of non-payment of fees are brought by their parents so that there would be no vacuum in their academic lives. I collect N20 daily for each child and the lesson hours are between 8a.m. and 1p.m.”

The National Teachers Institution (NTI) certificate holder and mother of three spoke further: 

“I had been working alone all the years, with regular assistance from my husband and a few elderly women staying within and around the lesson. Whenever I wanted to move round to pick children from their homes, my husband would stay with the ones already in class. Same would happen in the afternoon until the last child had been taken home. Whenever he was busy in the shop where he works as a lotto agent, the women who were like my in-laws would assist me. 

The woman who did this evil work (kidnapping) had been coming when I was still pregnant with the 14-month-old baby I am nursing. She kept pestering me that she wanted to work with me but I told her that I did not need assistance. 

About a month after I resumed work, having spent 41 days at home after delivery, she came again and I still insisted that I did not need an assistant.
