Popular Actress, Temitayo Odueke, popularly known as Sikiratu Sindodo has plainly stated that she is a wife material.

In a recent interview with Punch newspaper, the single mother of one said that she will make a good wife despite her once failed marriage.

“I know I will make a good wife. I cook well; I am not the outgoing type. If I am not working, I am at home. It is sad that when people see me outside, they have a different impression about me. “

Speaking further, she said “I don’t know why, maybe it is because I am an Actress. I am not like that, I pray five times a day. If I open the trunk of my car for you, my praying mat is there. I may not do that when I work all day but in the night I do so. People do not believe that I am close to God. When I’m into acting, it is different. “

Take a look at the table below. It’s a simple five-cell affair with the names of twenty-five recently deceased Nigerians drawn randomly from various walks of life, including ages at time of passing, countries where each death took place, the causes of death (where available), and the year of transition.
The names are presented in a simple alphabetical order, with no distinction between those who lived or had a home abroad, and those who traveled expressly to secure medical care. However, as far as I can tell, only two, possibly three, of the 25 people on my list belonged in the former category.

A boy identified as “Jerry” has reportedly killed a woman, Mrs Eunice Ajayi in Akure, the Ondo State capital while attempting to rape her.

The deceased was identified as a clergy wife.

According to an eyewitness, the alleged killer entered the deceased’s house located at Peaceland Road, along Ilesa-Akure Expressway, last Thursday evening and attempted to rape her.

Following the resistance of the deceased, Jerry allegedly brought out a machete and cut her into pieces.

The husband, Pastor Ajayi who saw Jerry before entering into their house, was also attacked by the alleged rapist.

Young mother who claimed she was raped by an ex-boyfriend to cover up drunken threesome with two men is jailed for three years

A young mother who lied to police about being raped by her ex-boyfriend in a bid to cover up a drunken threesome she had with two men she met in a pub has been jailed for three years.

Lisa Yapp, 24, romped with the pair in the kitchen of one of their homes after seducing them by showing naked photos of herself and telling them she enjoyed orgies.

She even high-fived the men after the booze-fuelled sex session but later turned up on the doorstep of a friend in tears claiming that she had been raped.

I am a graduate and currently serving in Kaduna. I could have runced it, but I needed somewhere to clear my head and forget about my ugly encounter. Here is my story.

I happened to have a married man as a contact on my BBM. He had been asking me out for over six months and I refused to date him. As time went on, he invited me clubbing with him when his wife was outside the country, and I went with him all night. We spent most of the night at Swe bar, Lagos.

I also met his clique of friends, married as well with their various mistresses. We had ‘mad’ fun. After all the clubbing and drinking, he lodged me in a hotel somewhere in Obalende. I felt sort of safe with him. We did not have se’x, but he made sweet love to me and touched me in places I had never ever imagined.

Reddit users helped a man out with his egg conundrum (Picture: Alamy)

Internet users were on hand to offer some pearls of wisdom to one man looking for an answer to a bizarre question about an egg, his girlfriend and… somewhere on his body.

It’s unclear how long the confused chap agonised over his conundrum, but at least he didn’t bring it up at a dinner party (we hope).

‘Why would a girlfriend beg for months to put an egg in your rectum (sexually) and then when you finally agree she now always calls you a “yolk-assed bitch” in public and even in front of your parents?’ he asked.

Hundreds of users on social news web replied with some pun-tastic answers, see the best responses below.

‘I guess the yolks on you.’

‘Crackin jokes I see.’

‘Let’s not egg him on.’

‘Omelet this one pass.’

‘We shell see.’

‘I’m just chicken in, to see what all the fuss is about.’

‘I think it’s time for you to dump her. And, that’s enough internet for today….’

‘How did you even get it in without it breaking first?’

If you can help this man out, leave your comments below.

The race for the 2015 general election is already heating up the nation's polity. Although, the election is less than a year away, some contenders have expressed their desires to contest for various positions in the coming election.

The case of Lagos State gubernatorial election is particularly interesting. This is because, the state has the most vast economic potential and it has the strongest visibility in national politics. Lagos is the only state in Nigeria, where Lagosians alone cannot determine who becomes the governor. Everybody in Nigeria has a stake in Lagos. Invariably, the Governor of Lagos State is like the president of a mini-Nigeria.

As the current governor, Barrister Babatunde Raji Fashola, (SAN), rounds up his tenure next year, most Nigerians are anxious to know who will succeed him, eventually. Already, some personalities have openly or covertly declared their gubernatorial aspirations. Notable among them are; Muiz Banire, Ganiyu Solomon, Gbenga Ashafa, Tunde Fowler, Akin Ambode, Femi Hamzat, Ayo Gbeleyi, Leke

The disease is often not detected until it has spread and has just a 43 per cent five-year survival rate - one of the lowest for all cancers.
