Dr Dre dominated this list last year, raking in an unbelievable $620m during the calendar year. It was the highest total grossed by a musician ever, thanks in large part to his deal to sell off his Beats brand to Apple.
However, after a cozy year at the top, Dre drastically falls down the pecking order. Forbes’ list for 2015 has a new queen, and her name is Perry.
Men would always be men, they say. That saying is a lot more right than you think… Whatever.com delights in carrying out pranks and unconventional social experiments, and their latest ones really show what men are made of. For comparison, a similar experiment, where a guy went out to ask random women for sex, saw … Read more
For those of us who fear pain and love our body to the extent that we cannot even take a tattoo, this may seem absurd to us—but to body modification enthusiasts, ‘Tongue Splitting’ is a new trending catching up across Europe and America. Also known as tongue bifurcation, it is a type of body modification in which the … Read more
2014 has been a year of many eventualities, with the continued increase in social media use marking our move further into the 21st century.
No social network brings the world together like Facebook, thus it is a good way to gauge the aggregate feeling of the world at large.
The technicians at Facebook analysed the activities of users to determine the most talked about issues of the year, and the results show the most popular topics of the year; helpfully grouped into categories.
The last two years have seen increasing leak of seks videos and private photos in Ghana, mostly of women by the ex-partners of these women without the men being legally punished or held accountable.
In fact, it is legally complicated to want to sue or find a seks video/photo leaker liable—especially when the videos or photos were taken under consent. Easily, the person suspected of leaking the material could say, ‘I lost my phone’ and that led to the leak.
But the law is developing fast around the world in relation to this form of new crime against women.
And for the first time in the UK, a 21-year-old man has been jailed for ‘revenge p*rn’ after he posted a naked picture of his ex-girlfriend on WhatsApp.
This is beyond ridiculous—and the way people seem to be grouping all Africans as having Ebola has become totally offensive, to the extent that some Africans have even lost their jobs in America over this…
In the UK, a security guard who returned from a holiday in Nigeria was shocked to find he had been banned from work because his employer fears he has Ebola.
This comes at a time when Nigeria has been declared as Ebola free by the World Health Organisation.
People often get anxious as the year draws to a close, particularly parents who have to determine how to raise the cash needed to get all those presents and finance the fun activities their kids would expect.
But residents of some suburbs of Lagos has been introduced to a whole new level of end-of-year anxiety, as reports indicate amongst all the presents they have to buy for friends and family, the armed robbers in the area has also written to them demanding their share.
A Trent News report indicates that copies of the letters purported to be written by the armed robbers were found floating through the townships involved early one morning, and people who picked them up to read received the shock of their lives.
The letter indicated that the people should get their end of year presents ready, and that they would come around for them. Failure to do so would yield disastrous results.
Though the Bible says those who gossip commit a sin—and will die, followed by a trip to hell, a new research says, gossiping may be good for our self-esteem as it allows us to compare ourselves to others.
It’s not just the Bible which condemns gossiping, modern Christian leaders do not also find gossping attractive. Pop Francis was recently in the news for warning that, gossip ‘fills the heart with bitterness and also poisons us’.
According to the Dutch researchers, when people hear positive and negative gossip about others, this goes in to boost their self-reflection and self-evaluation.
This sounds ridiculous but it actually happened in the United Kingdom. A man of 47 years old-Alan Knight from Swansea stole over £40,000 from his elderly neighbour and he was due to face 19 counts of theft and forgery. When it was time for him to appear in Court for his theft, he went into … Read more
Inasmuch as the world is filled with wolves in sheep clothing as the idiom goes, the world is also filled with people who are so naive and gullible it beggars belief.
The story of this pastor who raped a 19 year old girl is sure to trigger disgust, even though sadly stories like these are more commonplace these days. But the story of the girl and how she willingly went along with this so-called pastor really should call into question the wholehearted way people are willing to place trust in anyone styling themselves a ‘Man of God’.
The Sun reports one Anthony Arogunmasa, a self styled pastor has found himself in police clutches over the alleged rape of a 19 year old girl. The girl reported the incident to the police who picked up this ‘pastor’.
The victim said she was walking when this total stranger approached her and told her she needed spiritual cleansing. She said she followed him because she had heard some people calling him ‘pastor’.
“He took me to his house and gave me a candle and soap and asked me to start praying. He also brought out certain objects which he said were prayer items for the spiritual cleansing. In the course of the prayers, he asked me to remove my clothing and just tie a wrapper and I obliged. It wasn’t long after that he suddenly jumped on me and eventually had carnal knowledge of me forcefully.”
The internet has created several jobs—and I mean some wild silly things are making people a lot of money—including an ex-teacher called Jessica Vanessa who works as a professional twerker…
I didn’t even know there is such a profession and I would love to see her face if she meets someone and they ask; what do you do for a living?
With over 2 million followers on Vine, Jessica who is from Florida spends her life twerking to these people—as you know, there are more ignorant, dumb and credulous fools on the internet than even in the church.
If your woman will not forgive you for lying, then you must consider going the way of the above poor man from Manchester who had to stand in the city centre junction wearing a sandwich board with the words, ‘I’m so sorry I lied’.
He surely must be sorry for not just the lie but for the self humiliation too. His photo was taken by someone from her office, and today it is all over the internet.
Whatever lied he told, it didn’t have to go down this way but then again, if you are desperate you will do anything to keep your woman.
If you don’t want to do this sort of crap, better not lie to us…Anyway, I hope he was forgiven and if for nothing at all, for how hard he tried.

A few years ago I used to hear stories of cannibalism still being present in Africa. I never believed them But as I grow, I have come to realise there is still so much dark activity out there.
Back in the old days in Africa, grandma’s end was the best place for a child to run to even when he/she wronged his parents. You always knew grandma would welcome you with love and affection. Parents will actually leave you with grandma if they want you well taken care of.
But somewhere in Africa, many grandmothers are being accused of witchcraft wrongly simply because a few of them are notoriously obnoxious, mischievous and scheming. The west may have its primitive ways but cannibalism is the last thing you expect to hear in 2014. Who would even expect that there are still human beings who will slaughter another like a fowl?
Okay let me retract that. There are human groups that slaughter each other to this day. We know of terrorist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram. But to eat the meat of the human being you were evil enough to kill is a whole different level that we do not hear about. And when those people end up being people you know, your own relatives, your blood, family! It forces us to rethink how safe we are in the midst of family. Africa is indeed riddled with many perplexing issues. Ebola, Cholera, HIV, Terrorism and more. It really is just too much for us to be afraid of being eaten by each other too!
How do you kill a whole human being just to make soup to eat? Have you finished eating everything the world has to offer or will eating another human being ensure that you live forever? What could it be!?
We continue to set new benchmarks here in Africa through our superstitions behaviour. After the residents of Anomabo revealed how crucial defecating on the beach is to their gods, a Nigerian man has also put forth his claim, selling his wife off to be used for rituals.
Maimako Shepang, was arrested by Police in Plateau state after his wife, Agnes, reported the incident to Police. The transaction with ritualists is believed to have earned the man N800, 000 (about $5, 000), reports The Vanguard
Fortunately, the ritual could not go on because they required a virgin and a spinster, thus the lady was allowed to go after she revealed she was married to the man who sold her.
Police told media men that Shepang lured his wife into the bush under the pretext of gathering firewood.
I have grown to love the communist State of China, and it is not because of the various fake products they cheaply make available for us. It is because their Courts seem to have a weird way of tackling issues, such as the one below…
A married Chinese man has been ordered by a Court to pay a woman £3,000 compensation for ‘violating her right to v*rginity’ because the man pretended to be single when they slept together.
For the over 7 years I’ve studied law, this is the second time I have across a right to v*rginity and I believe it is an inalienable right in China…
If the West adopts this seemingly new RIGHT, I am sure many of us men would have to pay out each month—and perhaps, it will keep us in check.
