Police Looking For Man Who Publicly Sexes Cheese
Police are looking for a man who has become known as “the Swiss Cheese Pervert.” Witnesses say he drives around without pants and asks women to pay him to watch him masturbate with cheese.
Several women have reported being approached by the “white, heavy set male” in the Philadelphia’s Mayfair area. Via the Independent: The man’s actions were brought to the attention of residents via the Mayfair TownWatch Facebook. “Good Morning Mayfair!” the Facebook user writes, “Please be aware of the Swiss Cheese Pervert! This individual is driving around surrounding communities and exposes himself to women. “He offers them money to watch him put swiss cheese on his privates. He is a white, heavy set male, 40-50 years old. He drives a newer model silver sedan. He was also spotted in a black newer model sedan.” It goes on to urge potential victims to not confront the man, but to note his car registration and call the police immediately. Upon further investigation, the Philadelphia Daily News discovered that the man allegedly has a profile on OKCupid where he advertises his fetish.
Woman in the area reportedly received a message from a man saying: “I started to compare girls to cheese due to their milky complections [sic], girls are soft, smooth feeling and tend to like dairy products more. That and typical advertising, always using a girl to advertise dairy products. So cheese is what I started to use as a replacement for having sex with girls.”
Man Sues Close Up Toothpaste After He Failed To seduce woman
“WHERE is the Close Up effect? I’ve been waiting for it for over seven years,” Anthony Olatunfe. He’s using Unilever Nigeria Limited for failing to live up to the promise that brushing with Close Up toothpaste makes you irresistible to women.
“Right from my college to now in my office, no girl ever agreed to even go out for a tea or coffee with me, even though I’m sure they could smell my breath. I always brush my teeth with so much Close Up gel to make sure the girls get turned on by my fresh breath as they usually show on TV. “
“I had always stored them in cool and dry place, and kept them away from direct light or heat. I brushed my teeth morning and night. I did everything they instructed.
I even beat up my 5- year-old nephew for coming near my toothpaste, as they had instructed to keep away from children’s reach. And yet, when I tried to kiss my boss she slapped me.”
Lagos lawyer and rights activist, Barrister Festus Keyamo said : “Unilever might be tempted to argue that Anthony is too ugly to attract a girl, but it is very risky. There is no data to substantiate the supposition that unattractive and unintelligent men don’t attract women. In fact, some of the best-looking women have been known to date and marry absolutely unattractive guys. I’d suggest that the company settles this issue out of court.” Unilever has officially declined to comment on the case citing the subject to be sub judice.

DANGOTE TO LAUNCH 5 NEW CEMENT PLANTS IN 2014
Five cement plants will be completed across Africa by the Dangote Group this year, the company’s President and Chief Executive, Aliko Dangote, has said. The plants now at various stages of construction will add about 13.5million metric tons (mmt) of cement per annum to the existing capacity, when completed later this year.
Addressing a group of African businessmen in his office at the weekend, Dangote said the group’s core business focus is to provide local value-added products and services that meet the basic needs of the populace through construction and operation of large-scale manufacturing facilities across Africa.
The ongoing plant projects are Zambia, 1.5mmtpa; Tanzania, 1.5mmtpa; South-Africa, three mmtpa; Republic of Congo, 1.5mmtpa; and Gabon 1.5mmtpa, Dangote said. Back home in Nigeria, he said the company is already working on additional third and fourth production lines to the existing six mmtpa in Ibese, Ogun State to bring the total capacity to 12mmtpa and another three mmtpa line currently being added to the Obajana cement plant in Kogi State.
Dangote said the companies are focused on building local manufacturing to generate employment, prevent capital flight and provide locally produced goods for the people.
He disclosed that presently, Obajana is the largest cement plant in sub-Saharan Africa with a capacity of 10.25mmtpa and an additional 3mmpa planned before the end of this year. Dangote stated that the group would continue to lead other investors to ensure Nigeria becomes an industrial giant that is self- sufficient in production rather than being a leader in importations. Stressing on the need for investments in the real sector, he said: “This indeed, shows that Africa is gradually taking its destiny in its own hands rather than wait for investors from outside Africa. Investment in the real sector of the economy is the only way that our continent can achieve the much desired accelerated growth and development that we have yearned for.” The developmental challenges of Africa are quite tremendous. According to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute issued in June 2010, Africa requires at least $46 billion in spending annually to meet infrastructural needs.
It is obvious that African governments alone cannot hope to meet this demand due to the various competing needs in other aspects of the economy.

Hmmmm! Another Amaechi's Aide Resigns
Another aide of Rivers State Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Chief Azubuike Nmerukini on Thursday resigned his appointment as the chairman of the Rivers State Local Government Service Commission (RSLGSC), thereby bringing to three the number of the governor's aides that have resigned their appointment since the political crisis began in the state.
The first among the governor's aide to resign was the Special Adviser on Flood Control, Hon. Obinna Anyanwu, who left because of the anti-Amaechi position of his fatherhood, Prince Emma Anyanwu, and followed by the Commissioner for Urban Development, Dr. Tammy Wenike Danagogo, who left following the governor's defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Although Nmerukini, who is the immediate past Mayor of Port Harcourt City, told journalists in the state capital, that his resignation was based on personal reasons, but it was gathered that he was forced to go following his refusal to join Amaechi to the APC.
The question am i keep askin is "do this polititians think of the masses at all?.

Obasanjo writes another letter, withdraws from PDP
Alas!! Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has written another letter, few weeks after his letter to President Goodluck Jonathan caused an uproar in the polity.
In a one-page letter dated 7 January, 2014 to the chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, Obasanjo said he would, temporarily, cease to be a member of the party by withdrawing from its activities at the local, state and federal levels.
The letter reads:
“While I believe that a good and truly national political party must be a microcosm of the nation in its membership, made up of all sorts of characters from near-saints to near-satan, I also believe that on no account should a known habitual criminal that is wanted abroad to face criminal charges levelled against him be extolled as a political leader in a respectable and wholesome nation-building political party.
“…has been so extolled in PDP in South-West geo-political zone which I personally find unsavoury. Politics played by any national political party must have morality, decency, discipline, principles and leadership examples as cardinal practices of the party. I have attached here recent documents that clearly indicate that your extolled PDP Zonal Leader in the South-West zone of Nigeria and an indigene of Ogun State is, to say the least, not a credit to the party as a member, let alone being a zonal leader.
“Since I stick in my practice of party politics to the hallowed and cherished principles enunciated above, I take this opportunity to let you know that while I continue to remain a card-carrying member of PDP, I cannot and I will not subscribe to a wanted habitual criminal being installed as my zonal leader in the party; a criminal for whom extradition has been requested by the US government. In the meantime, I will consider withdrawing my activity with PDP at local, state, zonal and national levels until the anomalous and shameful situation is corrected.”
Man, 21, burn himself to death in Taraba
A 21-year-old man, Mansur Tanko, on Friday, burnt himself to death in Jalingo, after a disagreement with his father, Tanko Mijinyawa, over marriage.
The Taraba Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Joseph Kwaji, confirmed the incident and said the Jalingo Division of the police had commenced investigation into the matter.
Tanko, according to an eyewitness, Alhaji Jibrin Bala, set himself ablaze because his family refused to approve his wedding with a girl, Blessing.
The eyewitness told sympathisers that Tanko introduced Blessing to his father as his proposed wife, but the father kicked against the union, describing it as a bad choice.
Bala said efforts by the father to convince his son to look for another girl failed, as he insisted that he could not survive without Blessing.
The eyewitness added that Tanko suddenly left his father and went to a corner in the compound, where he poured petrol on his body and set himself ablaze. “When we suddenly saw fire, everybody ran toward the corner of the compound, only to see Tanko burning.
“The father and other people in the compound tried to rescue Tanko from the fire, but failed as the flame was much and we could not move near,” he said
Meanwhile, he said, Tanko’s father is currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Jalingo, for injuries sustained while trying to rescue the son from the fire.

Hehehe..Woman’s intense 3-hour orgasm lands her in the hospital
Orgasms are beautiful, magical things aren’t they? For some women, they are hard to achieve, but when they come (yes, I just used that word), they are breathtaking.
But as in many cases, too much of something isn’t always a good thing. Even when talking about the Big O. Just ask Liz from Seattle. Liz had a three-hour orgasm. Yes, you read that correctly.
So we can’t be envious of Liz. We have to wonder how in the heck this happened. And how insane it is that she had to be rushed to the hospital to cure her climactic affliction.
This is how it went down. Liz and her lover Eric had sex. Liz had an orgasm. And that orgasm wouldn’t quit. There were greater peaks of pleasure happening for her even after Eric was not even next to her. An hour goes by.
Too much. Way too much. Two hours go by and it’s still happening. Liz said, “I started hopping up and down to see if that would do anything. I started trying to drink wine to see if that would calm down my system. I tried just about every possible thing I could do to stop having an orgasm.” Nothing worked. So way long ago, in a galaxy called the past, orgasms used to be given to women by doctors to cure hysteria.
This is true. And insane. My point is that an orgasm is a climax and then a release. It’s in that calm down time that you relax and let that pleasure overtake you.
If you never come down, then it’s got to be really uncomfortable especially if it’s going on for two hours. To the hospital Liz and Eric go! People thought she was in labour because of the sounds she was making.
Eric went beyond the point of pride. Oddly, when the doctor asked Liz what her level of pain was she said zero. I’m impressed. After three hours (one of those hours was in the hosptial) Liz finished.
Phew! I can’t help but feel she’s probably scared to have another orgasm; she’ll worry it will last for longer next time. It could totally screw up her orgasmic life! Let’s hope not.
