Just a few minutes ago, a cargo truck on the move collapsed in Maryland, Lagos.
The accident which saw the truck fall over to the other side of the road, hit a white Volvo family car.
Although the vehicle was completely destroyed, no casualties were recorded.
The roads are smeared with engine oil and fuel, and there is a little traffic.

Below are some of the important health benefits of sex.
1. Reduces chronic pain
Next time you have a headache, just say yes.
Stimulation of your clitoris and vaginal walls triggers the release of endorphins, corticosteroids, and other natural painkillers. As a result, you'll feel less pain from headaches and sore muscles during sex. The benefit, which begins before you orgasm, can linger for up to 2 days.
2. Lowers breast cancer risk
During arousal and orgasm, your levels of "happiness" hormones rise.
Two of these - oxytocin and DHEA - may help keep breasts cancer free. One study showed that women who have sex more than once a month have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who are less sexually active. And Greek researchers found that men who had at least seven orgasms a month in their 50s had a significantly lower chance of developing male breast cancer.
3. Gives your heart a workout
Cardiologists rank intercourse as a mild-to-moderate-intensity exercise that enhances heart health as well as brisk walking does.
As with any workout, the more vigorous you are, the more your heart benefits. The positions you try matter too; being on top is especially cardiac-friendly because it usually requires more effort. Orgasm delivers a bonus: At your peak moment, your heart rate may hit 110 beats per minute, comparable to what you might achieve when walking quickly or jogging.
4. Protects his prostate
Catholic priests have an elevated chance of dying of prostate cancer, and studies point to celibacy as a factor.
In 2003, research found that those who averaged at least four ejaculations a week had a one-third lower chance of developing prostate cancer than those who had fewer. When you drain the pipes, as it were, you have less clogging.
5. Lowers stress
Got a big presentation coming up at work? Spend some time in bed beforehand.
A 2005 study found that men and women who had engaged in intercourse in the 2 weeks before a stressful day had an easier time while doing public speaking and some verbal arithmetic. During their presentations, their systolic blood pressure (the first number in a blood-pressure reading) increased less and then dropped back to its normal level at a faster rate than that of people who had no sexual relations or had other forms of sex, including noncoital interactions or masturbation. One theory about why this occurs is that intercourse requires more complex brain activity; another idea is that it stimulates a number of important nerves not triggered during other sexual activity.
6. Revs your immune system
It's not just apples - sex helps keep the doctor away too.
Research has shown that people who engaged in sex once or twice a week had 30% higher levels of infection-fighting antibodies than did their abstinent counterparts. In 2004, German scientists produced similar results: Blood tests showed that arousal and orgasm in men increased levels of certain pathogen-fighting white blood cells. The effect is comparable to that of other stress-busting activities, such as exercise and listening to music, which also boost secretion of certain proteins that defend the body against infection.
7. Keeps down below healthy
A healthy sex life can prevent dryness - and the pain that comes with it.
Scientists found that postmenopausal women who had sexual relations more than 10 times a year had less evidence of vaginal atrophy than those who reported less frequent sex. That's a sign of healthy tissues. Arousal brings blood to the vagina, which delivers nutrients and oxygen. Keep using this part of your body, and you'll help prevent the tissue from becoming thinner and less elastic as you age, so intercourse can remain comfortable and pleasurable.
What drinks are putting you in the mood - and which ones are killing it?
Check out these latest research to reveal the beverages that boost your libido as well as the ones that suppress it so you'll know what to order come date night.
1 . Soda

That diet soda from the vending machine is doing more harm than good. According to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that chugging these artificially sweetened drinks can cause dental cavities, diabetes, obesity and bone loss ... not sexy.
The Verdict: Step away from the soda! If you're opting for diet sodas, chances are you're consuming an artificial sweetener called aspartame. This sugar substitute is notorious for causing headaches and low libido. Still craving something sweet? Add small drops of honey to your drink - the golden nectar is a natural aphrodisiac that supports the production of estrogen and testosterone, stoking desire in men and women.
2. Ginseng Tea

... which leads us to the lesser-known "G" spot: ginseng! The natural properties in this herb make it a surprisingly potent aphrodisiac. Recently, researchers at the University of Hawaii found that women who took a ginseng supplement significantly upped their libido in a month. Similarly, a South Korean study found that the herbal remedy can help men combat erectile dysfunction.
The Verdict: Just think of ginseng as a natural alternative to Viagara - for you and your man. Boil a pot of ginseng tea over the stove and squeeze a lemon wedge or some drops of honey in for sweetness. And ginseng has also been touted as a protector against cold-weather colds, so you can be sure he'll be back for date number two.
3. Gin And Tonic

If your guy has been less than interested in you after hours, his go-to date night drink just might be the culprit. This seemingly innocent cocktail is the ultimate mood-killer in a glass because of two main ingredients: One being gin, which like any alcohol, can inhibit your sex drive. And the other being quinine, the flavoring in tonic water, which is believed to lower testosterone levels according to research conducted by Germany's Institute of Reproductive Medicine.
The Verdict: This is one mixed drink to avoid at all costs.
4. Hot Chocolate
photo
It's no secret mojo: Cocoa beans have been putting people in the mood for hundreds of years. In fact, a study from the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that women who ate chocolate every day reported higher sexual function scores than those who didn't.
The Verdict: This reason makes hot cocoa the date night drink, especially on a cold evening. After dinner, heat up a pair of decadent hot chocolates and cuddle up together. For a sexier version, add a dash of chili pepper (another secret aphrodisiac) for a potent, thick mug of Mexican hot chocolate.
Whether your goal is to give her a blended orgasm or target her G-spot, focus on vaginal pleasure or hone in on her clitoris, we've rounded up four positions that will help you perform like a pro in between the sheets.
For ultimate access to her clitoris, try: The Pretzel a.k.a. The Camel Ride
photo
How it works: Kneel and straddle her left leg while she's lying on her left side. From here, she should bend her right leg around the right side of your waist-allowing full access to her vagina. This position is an upgrade from standard missionary because this sets you up for deeper penetration and allows you to slow your roll. Most women find sex much more pleasurable when it's not just constant thrusting. So spend some time exploring her body. This setup gives you complete access to her clitoris for manual stimulation. But don't feel limited to solely hands on fun. Try withdrawing your penis and, while holding the shaft with your left hand, rub the head against her clitoris. Start out soft and slow, then as you increase speed and pressure, reinsert once you've brought her to the brink of an orgasm.
For targeting her G-Spot, try: The Standing Dragon a.k.a. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Serpent
How it works: Position her on the edge of the bed, posing on all fours. As you stand behind her, have her arch her back so it lifts her butt upward. With your legs outside of hers, use your thighs to squeeze her knees together, which tightens her vagina around your penis. This position is ideal for G-spot stimulation and also gives you a great view of her curves.
For intensifying vaginal pleasure, you should try: The Flatiron a.k.a. Downward Dog
How it works: Have her lie face down on the bed with her knees slightly bent and hips slightly raised. For comfort, and to increase the angle of her hips, you can suggest placing a pillow under her lower abs. From here, enter her from behind and keep your weight off of her by propping yourself up with your arms. This position creates a snug fit-which intensifies her pleasure by making you feel larger to her. (A killer tip for you: You'll last longer in this position if you switch to shallower thrusts and deeper breaths.)
For optimal dual pleasure, you should try: The Pole Position a.k.a. Thighmaster
photo
How it works: Lie on your back and bend one of your legs, keeping the other outstretched. Have her straddle the raised leg with a thigh on either side and then lower herself onto your member so that her back is facing you. From here, she should hold your knee and use it for support as she rocks up and down. This position is great, because it's a lot like the reverse cowgirl, but with a twist. Raising your knee allows her to rub against your thigh-which produces optimal clitoral stimulation.
Contrary to the impression created by President Goodluck Jonathan that he plans to 'probe' the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah over the fraudulent purchase of two BMW armored cars, the President and his team are working very hard to shield the Minister according to reports by Saharareporters.
Investigations show that Mrs. Oduah was listed as one of the 54 officials that traveled within the inner circle of the President to Israel. President Jonathan however gave her the permission to travel ahead of the delegation 24 hours early under the guise that she would be signing the Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) between Nigeria and Israel. As it turns out, the BASA agreement is not due for signing until October 29, following which Mr. Jonathan will depart for Nigeria.
Mrs. Oduah is also one of the ministers listed to follow the President to a meeting with President Mahmoud Abbas in the Occupied Palestinian territory, also on October 29.
Since arriving in Israel, Mr. Jonathan and several officials, including Mrs. Oduah, have occupied the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, and she has had direct access and regular meetings with the President.
Our reporters have seen her many times at meetings. An attempt by a student journalist to interview her was rebuffed as Mrs. Oduah claimed the student was a SaharaReporters journalist seeking to put her into more trouble.
Since arriving Israel, President Goodluck Jonathan has employed the services of Senator Emmanuel Paulker from his home state of Bayelsa to reach out to lawmakers to chill the ongoing investigations.
The Nigerian Senate is reportedly in alignment but the House of Representatives is seen to be a bit more aggressive, which was the reason Mr. Jonathan decided to set up a "probe panel" that would slow down the situation so that Mrs. Oduah can keep her job.
A Presidency source also revealed that President Jonathan has little regard for the probe going on at the House of Representatives, calling them "hungry people." The implication is that they can easily be bought with money. The source said Mrs. Oduah would most likely ignore the House aviation committee subpoena for Tuesday next week
In all, the Nigeria delegation in Israel is said to be over 800 officials, which means it is considerably larger than the delegates that travelled with Mr. Jonathan to the 68th United Nations General Assembly last month, as was reported by SaharaReporters.
Among them our reporters stated that there are at least 11 governors, 8 deputy governors and 14 Ministers.
The governors include Gabriel Suswam of Benue state, Godswill Akapbio of Akwa Ibom, Liyel Imoke of Cross Rivers, Martin Elechi of Ebonyi, Theodore Orji of Abia State, Peter Obi of Anambra, Jonah Jang of Plateau and Emmanuel uduaghan of Delta State. The Bayelsa State governor whose whereabouts has been mystery is expected to join the train later tonight.
In addition to Mrs. Oduah, the Ministers are Jumoke Akinjide, (minister of state for FCT), Godsday Orube (Niger Delta), Olubolade (Police Affairs), Nyeson Wike (Education), Labaran Maku (Minister of information), the minister of Trade and investment and Fiancnae minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala are also expected to join later.
It would be recalled that the presidency announcement of the visit by spokesman Reuben Abati last Tuesday listed only Senator Paulker; the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Akinwunmi Adesina; the Minister of Water Resources, Mrs. Sarah Ochekpe; the Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen; the Minister of State (Foreign Affairs), Prof Viola Onwuliri; and the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki as the officials accompanying President Jonathan.
In a recent interview with The Awl, adult film star Stoya explained why making such a black-and-white distinction between the real sex and porn sex worlds sort of misses the point.
When he asked her for her take on the "real sex vs. porn sex" debate, she said that our collective conception of "normal sex" leaves out a whole lot of sexual preferences that "normal" people have:
Thanks to a combination of the perceived anonymity on the Internet, and the ability to connect with people all across the globe -- oh and the search indexes -- it's pretty obvious now that this concept of "normal sex," which is two people having sex in a handful of not really very articulately specified positions, to completion, and by completion I mean the ejaculation of a man; I think one of the serious problems with this concept is that it doesn't take into account lesbians. Or it doesn't take into account two people who have vaginas, who like sleeping with women, but who are not lesbians. Because so on and so forth. It's this very concrete, narrow idea of sex -- it's not the kind of sex that a lot of people are interested in having. And I'm sure there are people who do like their sex very, for lack of a better word, vanilla. That's great and that's wonderful, and they like things simple, I guess would be a good way to describe it? And that's great for them. But there are also all of these other people...
Of course, sex in pornography is performance -- a performance meant to generate revenue and titillate customers -- so it is inevitably different from the experiences most people have in their non-commercial bedrooms. But making sweeping generalizations about what porn looks like and what "real" sex looks like may obscure the many desires and preferences people have in both worlds.
I like this dress but its not good in any way for a decent lady to put this kind of dress on. what will people say about you when you rock kind of dress to a public party. Many girls will say its fashion but sincerely this a fashion madness and men would only think of screwing you as a lady when they see this on you.
Guys what will be be on your mind when you see a lady rocking this kind of stupid outfit as fashion? Via gossipmeBlog
As early as late last year, the act known as Sean Tizzle (Morihanfen Oluwaseun Oluwabamidele) was little known. However, he would go down in history as one of the music revelations of 2013.
Within a few months of the release of his single, Sho Lee, he has been transformed from nobody into one of Nigeria’s fastest rising music acts and now he says he is set to take the industry by storm.
In a recent interview he opens up about his successes and his private life.
“I faced a lot of challenges trying to get a record deal. Playing free gigs was a normal thing for me. Sometimes I even paid to perform in shows but I think it comes with the terrain. Even right now, I’m still facing lots of challenges. Though, there was no time I felt like walking away from music, the experience could be frustrating. There were times I was stranded and had to beg people for money on the streets just to make it to the studio for a recording.
“I remember the first time my record label, D Tunes called me up for a recording. I did not have a dime on me because I was stark broke. I had to beg for money on the road but nobody was willing to assist me,”
He talks about the success of his first single Sho Lee
“Sho Lee means it is hard in Yoruba and Ko lee means it’s not hard. The message is for all the sexy girls out there who are pretending and ‘forming’ to be what they are not. A lot of girls are not true to themselves. They think they are what they are not but at the end of the day, when you probe them, you discover that they are shallow. But I still love and respect them; I love sexy girls. They scream when I perform. I remember being at Elegushi Beach at the very beginning to promote Sho Lee. After my performance, there was this lady who was all over me. She just pounced on me and gave me the kiss of my life screaming, ‘I love your music.’! That was when I knew I was finally getting there”
When asked if he has a woman in his life, he says,
“No, not for now. I’m married to my music. I am a one-man Mopol and I’m not in any relationship. My ideal woman must be beautiful, shapely, sexy and intelligent, and above all, she must have the fear of God.”
What do you think of his music? Are you a fan?

Comedian AY shared the location photo of the Nigerian trio who are currently in the United States.
Achieving legendary eminence never comes on a silver platter but that is what one of Nollywood’s icons has become. Olu Jacobs, often times referred to as the granddad of Nollywood has achieved great feats in the industry beyond standards he probably set for himself.
From the old days of the mid 90’s when he acted together with Omotola Jalade and Emeka Ike in “Day Break”, to some of his most current movies, the style and class he brings into his roles is second to none; from the trademark roaring voice when he is angry and intent on creating mischief especially when he gets offended or his child goes contrary to his commands, to the sweet and fatherly affection he displays when pleased, Olu has remained the same person and kept true to his core acting values that has made him beloved by many.
In the years that have past, some of his age mates who were legends in their own rights that to great Nollywood achievements including the likes of Sam Loco, Enebeli Elebuwa, Pete Eneh, and Justus Esiri, have all passed on. So it is worth at least recognizing his great feat over the years and bestowing on him an award deserving of his status.
Even before that happens however, the legend has already received a sculpted statue of himself and Olu can certainly take pride of this because he deserves it.
That former Big Brother Housemate, Beverly Osu is a free-spirit is not news, but what has been a little bit amusing to her fans and critics alike was her consistent denial of a sexual liaison with fellow housemate and South Africa’s representative, Angelo Collins in the Big Brother House.
The pretty lady has, however, laid it all bare in an interview with ThisDay Newspaper chiding her critics for blowing it all out of proportion.
She also hinted that she is still in a budding relationship with the former housemate despite several indications to the contrary saying, “Angelo and I are now an item and that’s how I want to answer the question. No more, no less.”
Read excerpts from the interview below:
LIFE OUTSIDE BBA…
My life outside BBA has been wonderful. It’s nothing I cannot handle.
THE PAINS AND GAINS…
Well, I’m usually a very busy person, but it’s just that right now, I’ve been a very unstable person. Sometimes, I can’t even stay here in Lagos for a week without traveling here and there. I think that’s a good thing because good things are coming out of it. And apparently, there’s always the negative side and that is mostly things that are not true that you hear about yourself; how people see you and so on. Some people don’t really bother about perception, but if you’re somebody like me, you will think about it and sometimes it will affect your work. But I thank God that my life has been good.
REACTION TO NEGATIVE STORIES …
I just keep praying about it. And I also have it at the back of my mind that there’s no way this thing can just go away. It affects my relationship with people sometimes because I won’t just want to have any conversation with anybody. I just try to continue to be who I am and obviously when you have something to do, you channel your efforts into that. I rid myself of all the negative feelings when they creep in.
HOW I FEEL AFTER THE SEX SCENE AT THE BBA…
Apparently, I don’t feel sorry because I was being myself. So, I can’t say sorry to anyone who feels disappointed. They’re living their lives and I’m living mine. The only difference is that I was in a house where I had to make the platform work for me; the platform everybody enjoyed seeing me make. If you guys stuck to your television for 91 days only to see my faults, then you should check yourself because people have their faults and it’s only people with faults that quickly notice that in other persons. I don’t criticise people and I don’t think people should critisise me because no matter how you look at it, I’m still a youth.
Beverly Osu bathtub Angelo
ABOUT THE PORNOGRAPHY VIDEO MAKING THE ROUNDS ABOUT ME…
Well, when I saw it, I just told myself, this thing didn’t start today. Looking at the picture of the girl in the video, obviously, she looks like me and I cannot even deny that. When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ And I cannot say that’s from photoshop because that’s not a photoshop picture. The girl is someone who really looks like me and I don’t know where she came from. But anybody who really knows me well enough will know that is not me. We have differences in our faces, but people can do what they want to do, it can sometimes break me inside. I’ll still be strong. It’s only here in Nigeria that people don’t appreciate their own, it doesn’t happen like that outside here. I traveled to Tanzania and I saw how they appreciated their country man.
WHAT I’M PRESENTLY UP TO…
I lost my grand mother before I left the BBA house. My mom and I are trying to bury her and you know how communal Africans are. I’m still trying to get balance with my family. I still have appearances to do and things to work on.
ABOUT MAKING FATHERLAND PROUD…
If people don’t believe I made Nigeria proud, I think next year everybody should try to be in a reality show even if it’s a beauty pageant. Then we will all know how it feels. As for me, I forget about the cameras and if I’m still on their lips till next year when the next season of BBA is on, then I’ll know that I’m so much relevant. But if it fades away, that’s how I will know that Nigerians are just hypocrites.
BETWEEN ME AND ANGELO..
Angelo and I are now an item and that’s how I want to answer the question. No more, no less.
MY ALTER EGO…
I’m a very free-spirited person, calculated and reserved in a funny way. I have up to 17 characters and many sides to me. I have the very religious side, the crazy side, very stubborn side, romantic side and so on.
WHEN I PIERCED MY TONGUE…
I pierced my tongue since I was 17 years old here in Nigeria
Kingpin of a notorious robbery gang operating in Ore axis of Ondo State, Sunday Odina has confessed that his late grand father who was a great herbalist encouraged him to robbery.
Odina who has been on the wanted list of the state police command was arrested in his hideout by men of the state Anti Robbery Squad following the arrest of members of his gang by the police
Odina who first opened fire when he sighted SARS operatives had one of his legs battered with police bullets and he was later apprehended and taken to the state CID, Akure
The robbery suspect during a chat with Saturday Sun disclosed that his late grandfather was a great ‘ikuku’ man (herbalist) who used to prepare spiritual protection for armed robbers in his days
According to him, he began to show interest in robbery when his late grand father was using him to assist in burying and exhuming arms used by some robbery gangs
He added that “from there I started gathering experience and later joined a robbery gang when I dropped from SS1 after the death of my grand father.”
Odina who claimed he lost his parents at a tender age of ten said his late grand father also taught him traditional medicine on how to escape arrest through invisible means
His words “My grand father was a great Ikuku man and he used to work for young armed bandits when he was alive and he encouraged me to be assisting those guys to be carrying arms to the bush where they used to hide them.
“It got to a stage when i was following members of a robbery gang to operation and i remembered my old man fortified me more when I got home and I told him i followed the gang to rob a house in a village near Onicha-Ugbo
“He even taught me many traditional medicine that could assist in robbery operation but when he died some years back and there was no means of going to school again i joined the robbery business fully and after operating in Onitsha for a while , I left the city for Lagos and after a while i moved down to Ondo and Edo areas before my gang ran to a police patrol van in Ore.”
On why the juju failed him, Odina said his boys went contrary to what the oracle said.
“That day when we consulted oracle, the oracle said we should not go for the operation but my boys who first agreed with me later went for the operation without my knowledge and they were arrested that day during the operation” , he stated. He said he attempted to disappear into the air when he saw the police but the juju failed him stressing “ I don’t know what happened”
Ondo State police spokesman, Wole Ogodo who confirmed the story said the command is battle ready to flush out all criminals in the state. He added that the command’s latest strategies were designed to reduce crime rate in the state to the barest level.
