Popular Instagram comedian, Officer Woos is here with a brand new comedy he tagged, “The New Neighbour”.
A Nigerian Twitter user has narrated how his friend’s baby was mistakenly switched with another baby at a general hospital.
According to him, the nurses had taken the baby for clean up when the mix up happened, as there was another family who also just had their baby.
Thankfully, the babies were different genders, so the error was detected on time and the babies were returned back to their original parents.
Narrating the story, the Twitter user @Adahorlic wrote,
“My friends wife gave birth to a baby girl today in a general hospital, as usual the nurses took the babies to clean, afterwards, the matron started calling each family by surname to come and take their babies.
They called a man and gave him a baby girl, he looked shocked and said that’s not his child, that his scan showed a boy, the nurses were confused and called his name again.
Apparently this man has the same surname as my friend so my friends baby girl was given to him instead of his own baby boy. They have been begging us since. So I’m like, what if the both of them gave birth to girls. That’s how this kind of thing will bring trouble later.”

Speaking with Temisan, he said,
“From day one I got on social media, I didn’t want to follow anybody. I wanted to establish the fact that this is a market place. It’s a pseudo reality there. It’s not what people want to take as their everyday life.
If you see any of my posts, it’s tailored. I don’t post about my family. I don’t post my pleasures. There are certain things I think should be left for one to experience alone.There are three tiers of life that I live. I live the private life, the public life, and the secret life. Social media is public life. If I want to make a statement in style, if I want to make a statement on my ideology and principles, if I want to market something, or if I want to set a new understanding on my opinion of something, that is where I should be. If I’m having a good time with people that don’t mind being on that platform, I go there.”
He added that he’s shielding his children from social media so that their behaviors would not be scrutinized or observed in public.
In his words,
“I have kids that run the mall at every part of the world and no one will say, ‘I know that face’.”

A while ago, Blaqbonez took to social media to reminisce on his days of humble beginnings in the music industry.
Taking to popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter, Blaqbonez who stated that he took the longest road to success in this music thing, recounted how he had to produce his songs himself as he had no money to pay for the services of people.
He also recalled an instance where he fell to the ground on the main road and cried after a sound engineer called to tell him that his system crashed and he lost all his songs.
Speaking further, he revealed that when he made his first 200k, he wanted to use it to buy studio equipment but his mother made him give it to a pastor as first fruit.
A Professor of Anatomy at the University of Ilorin, Moyosore Salihu Ajao, has lamented the lack of cadavers for anatomy and practical teaching in medical institutions.
The medicine expert raised the issue while delivering the 214th Inaugural Lecture of the university.
According to him, the challenge is more difficult because dead bodies are not sold in the market in any part of the world. He, however, insisted that the study of human anatomy cannot be fully understood from written descriptions of dimensional pictures or plastic models.
The professor further explained that his investigation revealed that there are different causes of scarcity in the Nigerian Medical Institutions which reflects a poor ratio of students to cadavers during the studies in medical schools in Nigeria.
“They are never sold in the market in any part of the world. Since human anatomy is the science that is concerned with the structures of the human body, these structures cannot be fully understood from written descriptions to dimensional pictures or plastic models.
The dissection of the human body (cadavers) is the basis for understanding the structure and functions of the human body for several centuries. In other words, to fully understand the importance of cadavers to man is far and beyond what we should overlook.
The first major challenge I noticed on my assumption of office as a young lecturer in the department of anatomy was the chronic shortages of cadavers in the department and after a quick check on other universities, I discovered that we are not alone in the struggle to get bodies fit enough for dissection.
One of my studies revealed that about 12 to 15 students used a body against International Standard that recommend maximum of six students to one body. The National Universities Commission recommends an average of eight students per body in Nigeria.” He said.

This follows the controversy surrounding actress Mercy Aigbe’s marriage to film maker, Kazim Adeoti popularly known as Adekaz.
Former presidential aide and activist, Reno Omokri has shared his opinion on the controversial topic of Christianity and polygamy.
He shared this on his Instagram page in response to a follower who asked if polygamy is a sin, and if it’s the solution to infidelity in marriages.
Responding, Reno asserted that there is no place in the bible where God condemns polygamy, so he can’t categorically call it a sin.
He also pointed out that some prophets in the Bible were polygamous, including David who was given multiple wives by God himself.
Reno however noted that he is only sharing his opinion and it’s not the absolute truth.
Read as he wrote below,
“Well, what I am about to say is purely my personal opinion, from my understanding of Scripture. I do not speak for Christianity as a faith.
If we go by 2 Samuel 12:8, we see that God Himself gave David multiple wives. That verse says “I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives.” Also, Old Testament Prophets were polygamous. The New Testament mandates monogamy for only overseers-1 Timothy 3:2. I can not say polygamy is a sin.
However, the definition of what is sinful in the New Testament is subjective. According to the New Testament, “whatever is not from faith is sin”-Romans 14:23.
From the above, if you do anything from the conviction of your faith, flowing from your conscience, it is not sinful. However, if your conscience is against it, then it is sin for you.
What God hates is divorce. We see this in Malachi 2:6. You will never see anywhere where God condemned polygamy. Some people quote Matthew 19:5 and Genesis 2:24 “a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” Some people understand this to mean that polygamy is out of the question. But among the Commandments that God gave the Israelites through Moses, were laws governing polygamy, for example Exodus 21:10, Deuteronomy 21:15-17.
However, let me restate that these are not doctrines. These are my privately held opinions which I will never preach on an altar as the ‘thus says the Lord’.
Thank you and may God bless you.”
