Seven final-year engineering students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, designed and constructed a mini bus from scratch with locally sourced materials.
The group, known as the Autozik Group, was made up of six males and a female including Callistus Ezeigwe, Victor Obinani, Ifeanyi Ezeanolue, Ogbu Ikenna, Fidelis Ominigbo, Nnamdi Nwobodo and Chinaza Okoro, was supervised by the then Head of Mechanical Engineering department, Dr. C.H. Achebe.
“We made the mini bus using mere hand tools. This means we did all of the constructions and folding, with our hands, since the university could not provide us with ground equipment, as used in most automobile companies,” said Ezeugwu.
The mini bus which took about five months to complete, has a beautiful finishing so that people find it difficult to believe it was made in Nigeria.

Speculations have surrounded the nature of the relationship between rapper, Falz and singer, Simi – two artistes working to make the ‘A list’ in Nigeria’s music industry.
Rapper, Falz, has recently addressed rumors of a romantic relationship with singer, Simi, letting the whole world know both singers aren’t yet in a romantic relationship.
Their first collaboration on the remix of Simi’s ‘Jamb Question’ was well received by fans and it was quickly followed with Falz’s ‘solider’.
The two have been spotted together at different events, which continues to fuel rumours that both are nurturing a romantic relationship.
In a recent interview , Falz revealed the current situation, saying in his typical comic accent that “at this current moment, we are not dating but you never know what the future holds”.
He also talked about balancing comedy with music, which he noted was no easy task.
A removable manhood is being made for a nude statue because passers-by keep stealing his penis.
Hercules, the Greek god of strength, is known for the rather impressive myth that he bedded 50 women in one night.
The three-metre statue in a park in Arcachon, France, is the victim of constant vandalism. The mythical hero keeps getting his penis yanked off.
The mayor, Yves Foulon, has since announced that Hercules is getting a removable penis for special events in a bid to stop people stealing his willy.
Foulon told Sud-Ouest.”I wouldn’t wish anyone – not even my worst enemies – to go through what has been inflicted on this statue,”
🙂
While deputy mayor, Martine Phellipot, added: “Hercules has a fragile virility. We chose the option of making a removable prosthesis which is placed on the statue before each ceremony. It’s the only way to avoid constantly chasing after his anatomy.”
A mother apparently dumped her two-day-old baby in a trash can at a refuse dump in a town in Cameroon. The baby was found alive in the refuse dump two days after.

A 34-year-old suspect, Ibrahim Abudulamdi, paraded, yesterday, by the Lagos State Police Command, said he is not a robber, but goes to bank to steal after studying the environment.
“I am not a robber, I go into banks to steal, not to rob. When I get there I pretend that I want to lodge some money. For instance, when I went into FCMB to withdraw money, I went straight to the bulk room after monitoring the environment carefully, I saw some money and I collected it.
“I collected N1.2 million, it was this year that I went there. I didn’t go there with a pistol. I succeeded in stealing from the bank because the bank operatives were careless. I went into the bulk room and picked the money, I am not a robber. There was nobody there, I am telling you exactly what happened.
But, it was gathered that Ibrahim went to the bank with a Ghana-must-go bag pretending he wanted to deposit money. Later he allegedly took a gun from the bag and attacked the cashier.
Demonstrating how he usually swapped his polythene bag containing cut-to-size papers with the victim’s own containing money while pretending to be asking the cashier questions, Ibrahim said he used different methods for different operations.
“Sometimes, I simply swap the victim’s bag containing money with a similar one containing cut-to-size papers.
A man has cried out for help after encountering a difficult decision in which he confessed that the prostitute he met is better than his wife in bed.
Dear readers,
Please don’t judge me. I’m a 40-year-old man and my pregnant wife is in her 30s. We travelled to Zimbabwe on holiday for the first time eight months ago where I met a 19-year-old pros-titute and, to my shame, I think I’ve fallen in love with her.
I was at a low point – my wife is wonderful but she’s become very cold of late. I know she’s pregnant, but she doesn’t fancy me now and I have to say it’s mutual.
I was out on my own in town when I met the Zim girl. Talk about beautiful and exotic – she looked other-worldly.
She turned me on so much and we had the most mind-blowing s*x – the type of s*x I’ve only ever dreamt of before. Although I did pay her, I felt there was also a meeting of minds and that she understood me.
We met up a lot after that. I couldn’t help it – she was so warm and inviting. When we made love it felt like heaven, so we did it many times and even thinking about her now I can’t help but get turned on.
My wife doesn’t do anything for me now. I’ve been with this girl and I am contemplating leaving her and our unborn child to go to Zimbabwe. I know it’s a risk but I don’t believe I’m just another punter to her.
What should I do? I think I’m in love with her.
Did you all know that Kobe Bryant hasn’t been on speaking terms with his parents for the past three years?
Kobe says it wasn’t very easy to do. It all started back in 2013 when his parents tried to sell some of his high school memorabilia…with out is permission!
He said:
“Our relationship is shit,”. “I say to them, ‘I’m going to buy you a very nice home, and the response is ‘That’s not good enough’?” “Then you’re selling my shit?”
After his parents’ lawyers worked out a settlement allowing them to auction six items of Kobe’s memorabilia totaling $500,000 in 2013, his parents issued a statement which read:
“We regret our actions and statements related to the Kobe Bryant auction memorabilia,” the statement from Joe and Pamela Bryant read. “We apologize for any misunderstanding and unintended pain we may have caused our son and appreciate the financial support that he has provided to us over the years.”
Kobe who has two sisters said that he has also stopped supporting his sisters because they are smart college educated women who have their own careers and can support themselves.
Before the incident with his parents, Kobe financially supported his parents and sisters and his wife-Vanessa’s family. Even though he has stopped supporting his family financially, he is still supporting Vanessa’s parents.
Kobe also mentioned that his father’s failure as an NBA player was what motivated him to be a successful NBA player.
He said his father, Joe Bryant was a 6-foot-9 forward with the skill set of a guard that would have made him successful in today’s NBA, but in the Eastern Conference of the late 1970s, he was miscast as a defensive specialist.
According to Joe Bryant himself, his whole career would’ve been different if he’d been in a different system and had been able to play on the perimeter like Magic Johnson.
Kobe said:
“When I hear those things, I don’t really understand them.”
Why should the whims of fate, which system he played in, determine the success of a man’s career?
And he didn’t understand how his father accepted that and failed to be successful.
In Kobe’s mind, he could never accept disappointment on the court like his father did. He couldn’t. Not if he wanted to be a legend, so his father’s failure drove him to be a successful NBA player, the Legend he has become today.

Many young men love having Sugar Mummies for the fringe benefits they derive from the act, mostly financial and they usually have tactics used for wooing the older women.
Cougars are older women who are involved in s*xual relationships with men way younger than them. While the society may raise eyebrow at these women, they are basically women who have needs and wish to satiate their s*xual appetite.
In present times, cougars, known as “sugar mummies” in this part of the world, have become victims of young men who often swindle them. However, this has not stopped the existence of cougars as they are also know the signs to watch out for when picking their toy boys.
As much as people despise the idea of older women dating younger men, we also have to be considerate in our thoughts of them.
The fact that they are old does not mean they are s*xually inactive. As a matter of fact, most women become s*xually active after the age of forty.
And it is only normal for them to find ways of relieving themselves of the ache and s*xual tension that might have been built up in them. Cougars, although they have their demands, have certain things they look out for in their partners.
They have feelings that go beyond s*x sometimes and are always cautious of the men they go for.
In view of all these, there are certain things a young man could do that can get a cougar to be seduced.
Find some of these things below:
1. Demonstrating some sort of respect towards her
Women generally love to be respected; and considering the age of the woman you may be attracted to, it is impertinent that you accord her some respect.
Older women are conscious of their ages, they tend to tread softly. They hate to lose their self-respect in a bid to finding a partner. Showing them respect would make them endeared to a man overt time.
Genevieve Nnaji is one of Nollywood’s biggest actress in Nigeria. Despite having one child from her teenage days, she’s still one of the most sought after women in Nigeria which is unusual as Nigerian men don’t like a woman who already has a child from another man.
The actress who is one of the highest paid in Nollywood is relatively unapproachable because of her fame and wealth.
She once dated D’banj and everyone expected them to end up getting married, but that didn’t seem to work at the end of the day. She hasn’t been linked with anyone else since, so her chances of getting married is quite slim.

A man, Mr. Femi Oguntunwase, and his wife, Modupe, were found dead in their house in the new site area of Oba Ile town in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.
A source in the town said the cause of the death of the couple had yet to be known, adding that their lifeless bodies were found on the floor of the sitting room of their apartment on Saturday…
The source said the husband was on the ground naked, while the wife was also on the floor in a T-shirt and a wrapper with a bottle of palm oil beside them.
A resident of the area, who identified himself only as Seluwa, said the couple was seen in the morning of the day, adding that neighbours were surprised to find them dead in the afternoon.
She said:
“We saw the husband in the morning, but in the afternoon, they were found dead.”
She explained that a bowl of pap and some akara balls were seen beside the deceased, which showed that they died after taking their breakfast.
It was gathered that when the neighbours entered into the apartment, palm oil was inside the deceased’s mouths, which indicated that they might have eaten poison and drunk palm oil to suppress it.
“There was palm oil in their mouths. It may be when they were having stomach pain that they drank the palm oil. We also discovered that the death happened after their breakfast.”
When contacted on the telephone on Wednesday, the Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Mr. Femi Joseph, confirmed the incident, saying the remains of the deceased had been deposited at the Ondo State Specialists Hospital, Akure, the state capital.
He said the command had not made any arrest on the incident because it had not been established that the couple were killed.
He said:
“We got the report of the incident on Saturday and we are still investigating to get to the cause of the death. The bodies have been deposited at the hospital for autopsy; it is after the autopsy that we will know the next step to take.”
Son of “Caitlyn Jenner“, one of the children the transgender made before he met Kris Jenner, Brody Jenner has made it crystal clear that his dad/mom, Caitlyn is not married to Kris, her children – Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob – are not his family.
Page Six reports that the 32-year-old distanced himself from the famous clan after someone at Coachella brought up the reality stars over the weekend.
Brody was less than pleased after someone congratulated him on his family’s success, referring to the Kardashians.
A source told the column, Brody made his feelings for his former step-siblings and stepmom very clear. The star reportedly responded loudly to the person saying:
Gorgeous actress, Daniella Okeke, looking in this photo shoot like she can perfectly slay in whatever she dons… anyhow, anyway, anywhere, any day … beautiful woman.
The beauty looks delectable as she’s captured in these stunning vintage themed photo shoot.
Sharing this lovely photo of the stunning model, he captioned the photo:
“My beautiful wife”
Considering the fact that the couple are yet to legally tie the knots, it’s obvious that Rob, who got her a Lamborghini recently, is head over heels in love with his beau, Blac.
And at the back of most of us’ minds, we’re still thinking it’s one twisted Kardashian stunt.
Heartbreaking footage shows a mass child marriage ceremony where girls as young as five were forced to wed older grooms.
Most of the girls were crying but in one distressing clip, a 10-year-old girl weeps uncontrollably as she holds the hand of her teenage partner.
The girl has her head covered with a fuschia-coloured scarf and is span round by her father and another man as she desperately pleads for help.
The footage was recorded over the weekend in Chittorgarh, a city in Rajasthan, northern India, a state in the country that is prevalent for child marriages.
In another clip a faith leader – conducting the Hindu ritual – is also seen scolding the children for crying.
One of the child brides, a five-year-old girl is crying loudly but a man forces her to complete the Hindu wedding ritual, which involves walking around the fire seven times.
The identities of the others in the footage are yet to be confirmed by police, who have already registered a case against the several families that forced their children to marry but all are currently on the run and in hiding.
District Magistrate of Chittorgarh, Ved Prakash, said:
“As soon as we came to know about these incidents we sent teams out to find the culprits.
“Once they are caught the marriages of their children will be void and the court will decide strict action against them.
“We have stopped several child marriages in the past but at times, fearing police, the villagers opt for a secretive venue which may be outside their district or village.
“Many do not report the incident to police even in fear of the social pressures.”
Journalist and Pulse writer, Jola Sotubo has penned down her thoughts on the Linda Ikeji versus Wizkid saga.
Read Below:
Every Nigerian knows Linda Ikeji’s story, how she came up from nothing and became one of the richest young women in the country.
Linda epitomizes hard work and persistence and shows that determination is the key to success.
This used to be enough to make her an inspiring person, but it isn’t anymore.
Linda Ikeji’s fame and wealth have increased in great proportions over the past five years, but she has wasted so many opportunities to make real impact that I wonder if her good fortune has taught her anything.
The only thing Linda seems to have acquired with her position is money, possessions and a growing sense of vanity.
The average Nigerian might think being rich is the be–all and end–all of life, but a person whose only boast is in money is as poor as poor can get.
Why doesn’t Linda Ikeji have a degree in online journalism? Why does she insist on using that terrible blog theme despite having her own website? Why hasn’t Linda Ikeji improved? Linda why are you so afraid of growth?
Why is Linda Ikeji not giving speeches around the world? Why doesn’t Linda Ikeji have any endorsement deals? Why is Linda not hosting any TV shows? Why isn’t Linda on radio? Why wasn’t Linda at the recent dinner with International Monetary Fund (IMF) boss, Christine Lagarde along with Genevieve Nnaji who she’s more famous than?
Why does Linda Ikeji insist on making safe and passé fashion choices? Linda why are you still matching clothes and shoes in 2016? Why do you always wear the same hair? Why are you not killing it on every red carpet possible? Why don’t you attend events? Linda what are you so afraid of?
Linda why are you still spending so much time blogging? Why can’t you pay others to do the work so you can move on to bigger and better things? I don’t know if anyone has told you yet, but there’s nothing special about that blog, it was just your vehicle to the top. You’re the one who’s special and you can transfer that specialness into other things. It’s time to jump out of that vehicle and make a real difference.
Dear Linda Ikeji, you’re already one of the most disliked women in Nigeria, why the heck are you not milking it? You write about Kim Kardashian all the time but have learnt nothing from her. If people are going to dislike you anyway, you better give them a reason that pays you, one that doesn’t only involve your computer.
Dear Linda, it’s also time to tone down on the vanity. You were worth something before the bags and the shoes, yes even before that house. Maybe it’s time to look within and find your true purpose, find meaning outside all the retail therapy that is just a sign of growing emptiness.
You should know better than to lose your head over claims that your bag is fake. You should know better than to announce that you’re “too rich to buy fake” or say that you’re “laughing in your Banana Island mansion” or that your “bag is worth more than your haters’ cars.” That is so unbelievably shallow.
Dear Linda Ikeji, you have lost almost all your goodwill, you do not need to be hated by everyone to know that you’re successful. You should be envied, resented even, but not downright detested. The people who hate you were created by the same God who blessed you. There’s too much negative energy around you. You need to check yourself.
Dear Linda, you should go down in history as one of the most influential Nigerians in history, but will you? When your blog fades away, and I say when because it will, will you still mean anything, will you still be somebody?
Dear Linda, you have so much power at your disposal. You have the power to influence minds and inspire generations, when are you going to start using it? When are you going to step out of the box you’ve built for yourself, when are you going to step out of your Banana Island box?
I know that a lot of people who read this will say that I’m a “hater” and remind me that you’re smiling to the bank. Maybe some of them will ask me if I’ve eaten today, in fact I have not. But the truth must be told and as long as it is the truth, it doesn’t matter who the messenger is.
Dear Linda Ikeji, stop wasting your opportunities and start growing. You’ve been on the same spot for too long and if you don’t innovate, you will fade away and quickly too.
Dear Linda Ikeji, you used to be an inspiration, you used to encourage people to do great things, what happened to you?
