A 23-year-old woman was left in a distraught state of mind after a “failed” operation left her with malformed, “double bubble” boobs.
The graphic designer identified as Jacqueline Harvey saved for five years, before splashing out £4,500 on the operation – boosting her bust from a 34C to DD.
However, after waking up and looking in the mirror, Jacqueline immediately regretted her decision.
She realized her implants had caused a second bulge under her breast bone – creating what looks like four “bubble” boobs.
The deformity occurs when the implants are placed lower than the breast tissue, and the natural crease line does not disappear – creating a ‘four breast’ appearance.
Now, five months later, embarrassed Jacqueline, from Brisbane in Australia, is trying to save enough funds to pay for corrective plastic surgery.

Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham has taken to to her Instagram page to talk about bonding in the 21st century.
In quite a lengthy post, she described people in this century as a generation that don’t want real relationship.
According to her, social media has taken over true bonding and it has caused lack of sincerity, betrayals, depression, and what nots.
She posted this picture to emphasize her point, in which she wrote:
“21st Century, the generation that doesn’t want real relationship. We want that social media relationship that everyone can like and comment on. True bonding are very hard now because, we now converse via DM, Ping, WhatsApp etc and epistle is our new way of expressing our feelings or appreciating people.
A lot of relationship has died because we now have better relationship with our phones than with people. We invest more time into our Instagram profile than we do with our lives. We celebrate our friends/family’s birthdays without knowing how the 365 days that lead up to them was.
Family meetings are now been held via Video calls and WhatsApp group conversations. People come to social media to write a long epistle for eachother, claiming WORLD’S BEST for them. When in actual sense, they know they are nothing close to COMMUNITY’S BEST and their intentions are not to filter them as good, but to impress social media audience.
There’s no relationship without social media anymore and that’s why relationships are no longer sincere; everything is now for the gram?. We’ve forgotten that, the best thing to hold on to in life is eachother? and that’s one of the reasons why depression is getting common☹️.
We’ve built a wall around ourselves against our family and love ones. We share our burdens with riddles on social media instead of talking it out with someone. It has worsen to the extent that, someone about to commit suicide will take to Instagram story to write their suicide note.
I understand it’s hard to find a trustworthy person these days but you still have to trust someone! If you trust them and they betrayed your trust, then it’s not your problem anymore it’s theirs. Let them live the rest of their life with the burden of betrayal.
The best place to lean on is eachother’s shoulders. Don’t let social media steal your love ones from you cuz NOTHING CAN SAVE US FROM DEATH BUT LOVE COULD AT LEAST SAVE US FROM LIFE”.
Wizkid has taken to social media to pen down a message to his fans advising them against voting someone because a paid celebrity endorsed them.

If u ’re old enough to get a PVC, u’re old enough to think! Don’t sell ur vote…uir vote can make a difference! Go out and vote!
“And Politicians wey Dey enter stop joking with peoples lives! U’re responsible for the lives of millions of people and ur decisions affects all. Help us make Naija a better place!!! Make una use una head! One Love!” he wrote.
More details has emerged on the lady who was stripped naked and tortured over missing phone in Benin city, Edo state. The 24-year-old identified as Favour Ada, a commercial sex worker, had pepper inserted into her private part during the brutal ordeal.
The Edo Police command paraded the suspects responsible for the act and remanded three in custody including one Lucky Igbinovia (One-Man-Squad), a former aide to Mr Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress on community security.
Narrating her ordeals in the hands of the suspects at the state police command headquarters in Benin, the lady who hails from Rivers State, told journalists that her worst moment was when they inserted pepper into her private parts, stripped her naked and videoed her.
She said she was taken to a native doctor who mysteriously implanted bullets into her stomach and later threatened her with a live snake, adding that in order not to die, she admitted to the crime and the bullets were later removed from her stomach.
She said when she saw that she was freed from the hands of the native doctor, she told her accusers that she did not steal their phone and that she only admitted to the crime because of fear.
She said when she maintained her innocence; they stripped her naked, inserted pepper into her private parts and severely beat her up.
Speaking on his involvement, Joel Igbinovia (the owner of the missing iPhone Xs-Max) said the victim and her female friend were invited to a hotel at Ugbiyoko, a suburb of Benin city, to entertain his friends.
“The girl was a prostitute. My younger cousin called her to the hotel and she came with another girl. I got up to pay my hotel bill on POS, but when I got back to my seat, my phone was no longer where I put it and the girls were gone. I asked why and I was told that the girls said the money we offered was too small.
“We searched everywhere but we couldn’t find the phone. We then went to another hotel where the girls had gone to and we met them there. I then pleaded with the girl (Ada) to return the phone to me because she would not be able to use it, being an iPhone, but she denied. It was then decided that we invite a voodoo man the following day to resolve the issue,” he said.
Joel further explained that the voodoo man instructed them to write their names on pieces of paper he gave them and squeeze the paper.
He said, “The man told us that the name of whoever stole the phone would disappear from his piece of paper. When we opened the pieces of paper, the girl’s name had disappeared. He repeated the process and the same thing occurred. Then, the voodoo man left us.”
The suspect added that the girl later confessed to them that she actually took the phone, but was under the influence of alcohol she took that day.
He, however, said that when the victim could not take them to where she kept the phone, his cousin began to beat her and inserted pepper into her private parts.
Social media users have criticized Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, for opening an Instagram account for her daughter, Ryn Roberts and constantly flaunting her on social media at such a tender age.

“They have a point because of security and safety but for me, I believe that it’s God who watches over us.
Once in a while, I post her picture online, I don’t post her all the time, she has her own Instagram page though.
She had her page even before I had her, she is just on Instagram and her father is a photographer, so, if I do not post her, her dad will do, but I’m the only one managing her page… I hardly post her on my personal page”.

Former chelsea player and now Derby County’s coach, Frank Lampard has been tipped to become the next manager of English Premier League side Chelsea.
This is following a 6-0 loss the London club suffered at the hands of Manchester City last Sunday.
Since the defeat, the job of manager Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge has been threatened. Recall that his side suffered a 5-0 loss to Bournemouth just about a week before the game at City.
Lampard’s job at Derby County has been impressive in the Championship which has given him an edge over Zinedine Zidane who is also tipped for the job.
Also edged out is Jose Mourinho who was sacked by Manchester United in December. A strong contender is Didier Deschamps who led France to world cup glory in Russia.
When the former Chelsea player was asked about taking over at Chelsea:
“My job is here,” Lampard said at a media conference.

Leader of the ‘free the sheeple’ movement, Daddy Freeze has advised his followers to stop listening to pastors if they want to become rich. The leader of the Free the Sheeple Movement made this known in an Instagram post where he made reference to China, a non-religious nation which is doing well economically.
According to Daddy Freeze, the best thing to do to attain riches is to go to a business school to learn instead of listening to pastors.
Daddy Freeze wrote:
”The Chinese people that built this train (look out for China civil on the coachwork), have the world’s largest number of billionaires in dollars, a total of 819 billionaires and have eradicated extreme poverty.
–
In China 90% of the population does not believe in, or practice ANY religion. Of the 10% left, majority are Buddhist.
–
Practicing a religion or worshipping God does NOT guarantee wealth, if it did, Nigeria with 5 churches on every street will have the highest number of billionaires, instead we have only 5 billionaires in dollars and the world’s largest number of poor people living in extreme poverty, visit www.worldpoverty.io
–
If you want to be rich stop listening to any pastor or religious leader, instead go to business school, or try to emulate the Chinese. ~FRZ”

Palpable tension has enveloped at a popular area in Eleyele, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital following the discovery of a den suspected to be a ritualist’ hideout.
Recalls that, few years ago, a ritualist’ den was discovered at Soka area of Ibadan where scores of people had been killed and several others agonizing for help.
The news of the ritualists’ underground tunnel, hit the city, the development that made many people to troop out to catch a glimpse of the said spot.
This prompted journalists in the state to visit the area. It was discovered that there was a tunnel for the control of the flooding on the Dugbe/Eleyele expressway, few metres away from the state police command headquarters in Eleyele.
Female under wears and other shanties, which looked like charms, littered the tunnel area, fuelling suspicion that nefarious activities were going on in the area before the discovery.
Sources in the area revealed that unidentified security personnel had come to raid the tunnel and caught one man with alleged human parts.
There were human footprints to indicate human activities in the tunnel which lie under the main road.
The tunnel led to an abandoned filing station on the road, where other items, including brassieres were spotted.
A source in the area also revealed that policemen were at the scene to arrest the suspected ritualists.
He said “I have been plying this route; you can never believe something like this was here. People have been gathering here since morning. They found people there with human parts. The police came and found people inside the hole.
“They took the suspects away. One of them was looking like a mad man, but he was just disguising so that he can do his evil acts without suspicion.
But, the acting spokesman of the state police command, Mr. Akeem Adeyemo said, it was not a ritualists’ den.
He informed journalists that he made calls to the divisional police close to the area to authenticate the claim but found out it was not true.
Adeyemo said, “Some mad people were seen around the area by passersby who suspected they could be ritualists. They pounced on them and started beating them when the police was alerted.
“On investigation, it was discovered that they were mere destitute. They (destitute) were later arrested. It is just a false alarm, which should be discountenanced”
