Man beaten to death for peeping at naked woman in hotel.

Newsmen reports that the incident happened at the popular hotel known as T. Lounge located at Oladunni Street by Council Bus Stop in Idimu, Lagos.

The hotel has temporarily been shut after the family of the victim identified as Diolu deposited his corpse inside the hotel and attempted to burn it down while protesting over the murder.

It took the intervention of the DPO, CSP Oliver Ezerim, who deployed the police officers that retrieved the corpse and deposited at the mortuary for autopsy report. The police then arrested Adebor and detained him at the police station for the alleged murder.

Newsmen  scooped that Adebor brought the unidentified lady to the hotel for a sex romp when she went to ease herself and had altercation with the late Diolu.

She went and reported to Adebor that the deceased came to where she was urinating and was peeping at her private part. In anger, Adebor immediately confronted Diolu and they had an exchange of words.

In the process, Adebor carried a stone and hit Diolu on the head; he collapsed and bled profusely. The management rushed Diolu to an undisclosed hospital where he eventually died before the doctor could revive him.

The death sparked a protest before the police intervened and restored peace in the area. The police also stationed two patrol vehicles and armed officers to prevent further breach of public peace.

When our correspondent visited the hotel, it was shut as customers and visitors were not allowed to gain entrance.

At the Idimu Police Division, the DPO was not around to comment on the matter when our reporter visited the police station.

However, the suspect, Mr. Adebor was seen detained in the cell as sources at the police station confirmed the incident and said that it was a case of murder which the Division had no jurisdiction to investigate.

The police source said that the suspect will be transferred to the homicide department at the SCIID Panti, Yaba, for further investigations as the autopsy report was being awaited to determine the cause of the death.

Residents who spoke to newsmen expressed shock over the death and lamented that since the incident happened on Sunday, there had been tension in the area and businesses had been grounded due to fear of possible arrest by the police.

Pictures of the most expensive house in the world

Who owns the most expensive house in the world?

Our world is full of billionaires who love to live big. That is why it is not surprising that most of them have some very expensive houses. Today, we are going to show you the most expensive house in the world, where you can find it, who owns it and how expensive it actually is. Join us, if you want to learn more about this.

Most expensive home in the world

Over the years, there has been some confusion as to what house should be called the most expensive in the world. If you have ever googled ‘the most expensive house’, you might have come across Villa Les Cèdres, which is often regarded as the most expensive. However, we strongly disagree, as Villa Les Cèdres only costs $410 million.

You might be wondering:

Only? Only 410 million US dollars? Well, when compared to the price of the actual most expensive house, 410 million does not seem all that much.

The most expensive house in the world is Antilia, and it costs between $1-2 billion. And before you say ‘But what about Buckingham Palace? Isn’t it more expensive?’, we want to explain our reasoning for not picking it as the most expensive.

While technically it is more expensive than Antilia (it is said to be worth over $5 billion), and it is, by all means, a house, albeit of the Queen herself, it is still a palace. It is hard to see it as just a regular home. Besides, if we were to count other palaces, it would not even be among the top three in terms of worth. That is why we have chosen to talk about Antilia. If you want to learn more about this extravagant building, then continue reading.

Things you should know about Antilia

Apart from being the most expensive house in the whole world, Antila is actually quite fascinating. Here are ten interesting facts about this luxurious building:

Antilia was built back in 2010, and its official opening happened on February 5, 2010. However, it took seven years to finish construction.The building was designed by Perkins and Will, an American firm that deals with architecture and design. The project was brought to life by an Australian construction company by the name of Leighton Holdings.Antilia’s height is 173 metres, and it is among top 50 tallest buildings in Mumbai, India. Even though the building of such size could fit at least 40-60 floors, it only consists of 27, as each floor has extra high ceilings. You can move between the floors on one of the 9 fast elevators.You can find this towering phenomenon on Atlamount Rd., Cumballa Hill in the city of Mumbai, India. Be careful not to hurt your neck while looking up to see the top of it!

The roof of the building houses three helipads. From there, you can also experience the wonderful panoramic view of the city.Antilia was named after a phantom island in the Atlantic Ocean called Antillia.The building has a staff of 600 employees that maintain it 24/7.The design of Antillia allows it to withstand earthquakes of up to 8 on the Richter scale.Even before it was built, Antilia sparked quite a few controversies. Issues were first raised about the land on which the building was supposed to stand, then about the construction of helipads and the car park. After it was completed, many people condemned it because it looked too expensive and out of place in ‘the city of slums’.Despite its grand size, this entire house is the home of only one family. Can you believe that?

Who owns the most expensive house in the world?

The man who own this house (and who actually ordered to build it) is a business magnate and billionaire from India by the name of Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani.

The man in question is the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries Ltd., which is the most valuable company in India. He placed 19th on the Forbes Billionaires list, and he is the richest person in all of India. His net worth is currently $40.9 billion.

At the age of 60, Ambani has achieved quite a lot: he is a chairman in several large companies, he has been awarded for his entrepreneurial prowess multiple times, and he is the wealthiest owner of the most expensive residential building in the world. You might also want to know that Mukesh does not drink alcohol and is strictly vegetarian.

He and his wife Nita are currently enjoying their lives in their luxurious home, and their three grown children often visit them when they are in town. Despite the fact that the house is serviced by 600 people, children still have to clean up their rooms themselves.

That is all we can tell you about Antilia and its owner. If you still think that we should have talked about the Buckingham palace, let us know! We would love to hear from you.

Pictures of 5 years old Nigerian girl rumoured to be the most beautiful female kid in the world!

When a Nigerian lifestyle-and-wedding photographer posted photos of a 5-year-old child on Instagram, he never imagined that it will cause a stir on social media.

Photographer Mofe Bamuyiwa posted the photo of the girl identified as Jare, writing:

“Oh yes she’s human! She’s also an angel!” he captioned the photo that has since turned thousands of Likes.

“I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless ! I could have made her smile and make her laugh out loud but I put her in their natural moments for us to see through their eyes ! Posing them as adults ! Was my trick to create it a timeless portrait ! J A R E , when you clock 21 remember to do same pose and style.” he added.


Speeding to Yahoo Lifestyle, Bamuyiwa explained that by positioning Jare in a more mature pose, she illustrated the intersection between child and adulthood.

“I’m pretty excited and elated about my new style of child portraiture . Before I thought of Photographing the @the_j3_sisters , I have had frivolous ideas of how I can make artsy portraits of kids And do away from the norm . The opportunity came and I had to take a bold step to express my ideas of how I want to take portraits of kids. I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless !”

“Jare isn’t a professional model,” Bamuyiwai said, adding that the girl’s two sisters, Jomi, 7, and Joba, 10, with their “striking features and strong characters,” have also posed for photos.


Bamuyiwai says she inspired the children’s mother to launch an Instagram page for her daughters called The J3 Sisters , where they already have more than 5K followers.

Bamuyiwa is surprised by the response to her photos.

“All I want is for everyone to see Jare’s powerful potential. … I want the photo to speak to her when she has reached her adulthood.”

Best replies to give your crush when she says “hey”

Let's get one thing straight: "Hey" is not an acceptable way to start a texting conversation.

First of all, it takes minimal effort to type three letters into their phone, leaving you incredibly confused about the purpose of this convo. Are they interested in you? Do they need homework help? How are you supposed to engage in a conversation when you have no idea where it's going?!

(Grown-ish via Freeform)

Which brings us to our second point—"hey" doesn't actually start any kind of functional dialogue. It's the texting equivalent to a nod of the head in the hallway at school—they're kind of opening the door for you to chat, but they're making you responsible for continuing the conversation. Rude.

Still, you're not going to ignore a text from your crush—you just need a little help figuring out what to say. That's where we come in. Keep scrolling for what you can respond when your crush texts you "hey."

1. 'Hey'

As stated above, your crush simply texting you "hey" puts the pressure on you to make the conversation interesting. It's a frustrating tactic, especially considering they did text you first, so if you want to add a little "I don't need you" sass to the convo, respond "hey" right back and put the ball in their court. You increase the chances that they just won't respond at all, but do you really want to chat with someone who doesn't want to put real effort into talking to you?

(Crazy Ex-Girlfriend via The CW)

2. 'Hey, how are you?' or 'Hey, what's up?'

One step above simply responding "hey," adding a "how are you?" or "what's up?" adds a little bit of interest to the conversation. It's simple enough that you can feel out your crush's intentions and see if they're willing to have a two-sided chat, and it has the added benefit of asking a question, which increases the likelihood that your crush will respond. However, it's a pretty vanilla question that will likely result in a fairly boring back and forth of "not much, wyd?" and so on, until one of you stops responding. It's not the most interesting text response, but it at least shows that you're interested in having a conversation.

3. 'Hi 😊 how's the day going? How did [insert specific question about their life] go?'

This is probably the maximum amount of effort you should put into a "hey" text reply. Adding an emoji shows that you're friendly and open to a conversation, and asking a specific question about their day on top of that gives the conversation some direction. Whether it's a particularly difficult test, a hard sports practice or anything else you know they might be struggling with, narrowing in on a particular topic shows that you pay attention to their life and that you want to have an interesting conversation. After that, it's up to them to show the same level of interest and keep the convo going.

(Gilmore Girls via The CW)

4. No Response

We know, we know—not responding to a text from your crush feels like a death sentence, but sometimes it really is the best thing you can do. It communicates that you're not just waiting around to hear from them, and that you're not interested in having a conversation that has no point. Your crush might decide that you're not interested or they might realize that they need to put in a little more effort to engage with you. Either way, not responding is going to have them thinking about you, which definitely isn't the worst thing in the world.

my mother slapped my wife right after she gave birth, accused her of cheating because the twins didn't look like me. - Nigerian man

The pregnancy wasn’t easy; my wife went through such severe morning sickness that we weren’t sure she’d be able to continue the pregnancy. She’s a trooper though and got through it. After 20 hours of labour and an emergency C section, she gave birth to a healthy boy and girl.

Until this point, my mom had been entirely supportive of the pregnancy and excited for the birth but her demeanour changed entirely when she saw our babies, Says the baby didn’t look me or my wife.

My mom decided that these couldn’t be my children and my wife must have cheated. She walked up to my wife and slapped her right across the face in front of me, my in-laws, and a nurse.

Everything descended into chaos, my wife, who had gone through a terrible pregnancy and birth had to experience this immediately after birth, It was horrendously traumatic for her.

My in-laws quickly tell the doctor to carry a DNA test immediately, after the result comes out, am the father of the twins baby.

Since then, have not allowed my mother to come around to see my kids have told her to forget me as a son. I Don’t want to see her again.

Few months after, my wife keeps begging to forgive her but have a vow that nothing will ever happen between me and my mother again. Did I do something wrong?

Boy stabs female classmate for saying she ‘only likes him as a friend’.



A schoolboy has been reported to have repeatedly stabbed a female classmate of his allegedly because she had ‘friendzoned’ him.

The unnamed girl, 14, was stabbed nine to eleven times in a school assembly on August 16, on the first day of term at Luther High School.

The victim told police on Wednesday that a boy at the school attacked her because she told him she wasn’t interested in a relationship.


Luther police chief David Randall told NewsOk:

“There was one point where he approached her in reference to try to have some type of relationship, to which she said she wasn’t interested in it.

“She said she liked him as a friend not anything more and that they remained friends.”

Despite being turned down, the attacker continued to slip notes into her locker asking her to go out with him.

Police chief Randall added that the victim had no idea the 14-year-old boy held any ill will towards her and that the vicious attack came as a complete surprise.

Rumours that the attack was motivated by bullying were also denied by the teen victim who said that she had never talked badly about the boy.

The girl was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries following the gruesome attack, but has since been discharged from hospital. She has not yet returned to lessons.

Pastor impregnates traditional priestess... Says he'll marry her.

A Ghanaian pastor, Nicholas Obeng Nyame, who reportedly impregnated a traditional priestess and denied responsibility, has found himself in a big mess.

Nyame who reportedly sneaks into the traditional priestess’ house to get intimate with her, began dating her after he offered her a lift some months back. Adomonline gathered that when their intimacy resulted in a pregnancy, the pastor denied being responsible and further the priestess to abort the baby.

The Traditional Priestess who refused having an abortion, went on to place a curse on the pastor for denying responsibility for the pregnancy. However an amicable resolution was reached, after Pastor Nyame informed the leadership of his church who later accompanied him for the settlement.

The Priestess who stated that Nyame must accept the pregnancy and promise to marry her after she had delivered her baby, reversed the curse after the pastor accepted the conditions.

This is coming after another Ghanaian man of God, Prophet Nana Poku, sparked controversy on the internet after videos emerged where he engaged a woman in a long French kiss, and later claimed he had healed her of an ailment.

While other church members looked on, Prophet Poku is seen in the 28 seconds video footage kissing the woman deeply while one of the church elders kept shouting: “Yes Lord, Yes Lord.”

The incident has been causing a lot of debate with many saying that God can deliver a sick person using any unorthodox manner while some believe the Prophet is fake and using demonic powers for his healing.

War against plastics, Nigerian youth sponsors program.


A young Nigerian innovator that has decided to make a difference in the world to start the war against plastic waste .  simple walk on any beach, anywhere, and the plastic waste spectacle is present. All over the world the statistics are ever growing, staggeringly. Tons of plastic debris (which by definition are waste that can vary in size from large containers, fishing nets to microscopic plastic pellets or even particles) is discarded every year, everywhere, polluting lands, rivers, coasts, beaches, and oceans.Plastics are integral part of society and have varied application. Plastics are composed of a network of molecular monomers bound together to form macromolecules. There are increasing concerns due to non degradability and generation of toxic gases on combustion during incineration. Due to fabrication of desired shape colour and specification convenient to customers there is increasing application in packaging, agriculture, automobiles and biomedical. They are indispensable to the modern generation due to development in information technology, intelligent and smart packaging system. Efforts are in progress for development of efficient and precise conversation of renewable raw materials into innovative polymeric product through recent technologies which are superior in terms of performance, environmental and cost perspectives. In rivers and at coastal regions the marine pollution is increasing at a faster rate due to indiscriminate disposal by the consumers. R&D studies are now centred for investigating whether consumption of plastic debris by marine organism translates into toxic exposures for people who consume seafood with particular relevance to plasticisers, stabilizers, heavy metals viz phthalates, BPA, lead cadmium, methyl mercury. Biological effects from pollution are linked with resulting economic effects and losses. A cornerstone of sustainable development is the establishment of affordable, effective and truly sustainable waste management practices in developing countries.Plastic waste management is a critical issue. Over 300 million metric tons of plastics are produced in the world annually and about fifty percent of this volume is for disposal applications, product that are discarded within a year of their purchase. It is the boon and bane of our times. Although there are multiple uses, its waste and the resultant pollution clogs up our rivers, oceans, lands and adversely affects the biodiversity. We need to plan for disposal of new synthetic product, implants etc which have completed their shelf life. In future polymeric adhesives and implants are to be developed which address total joint replacement features for ... Read more
features for patients with varied complications and age. It should be robust, biocompatible with surface treatment options to allow for reduced friction and wear throughout the implant life. In a CPCB supported study we have found that the soil and ground water quality may be affected in dumpsite areas.




The International Organisation for standardization [ISO] Organisation for Economic Cooperation [OECD] and development, British specification [BS] Indian Standards [IS] need to be implemented for appropriate application and safe disposal. Globally steps are being taken for development of environmental friendly, innovative plastic items using the concept of green chemistry and also with safe disposal methods. Integrated waste management practices are to be encouraged, strengthened and supported with state of art scientific applications.

Pictures of Mark Zuckerberg cars


Mark Zuckerberg cars

The self-made billionaire maintains a somewhat frugal lifestyle demonstrated by his large charities and modest spending on his vehicles. However, we can’t fail to notice the fantastic rides he adores. Although all celebrities and business people have the money to order a top of the range sets of wheels, Mark Zuckerberg seems to be reading from a different script. However, his modest life has accommodated the acquisition of relatively expensive (in common man standards I guess) rides. Here’s a recap of the most noticeable cars the tycoon owns:

1. Pagani Huayra supercar that screams Italian auto ingenuity

Source: Automoblog

This is the jewel of the crown among Mark’s rides. Pagani Huayra is an Italian made supercar that could roll off the showroom with a roughly $1.4 million. Not a lot of money for this-this two-seater sports car that can go head to head with other make of supercars like Bugatti, Aston Martin, Ferrari etc. This beast packs a V-12 6-liter engine that spits out a massive 720 HP.

2. The Volkswagen Golf MK6 GTI

Source: WallpaperBrowse.com

This hatchback VW can cost upwards of $30,415. The GTI is a seventh generation of the German-made VW Golf. It a 6-speed, manual transmission system powered running on a 2.2- litre turbo engine assuring the GTI an astounding 220 HP. This power is enough to ensure it will accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds. It’s pretty obvious this is a very cheap car to Mark’s standards.

3. The luxurious Acura TSX

Source: Car and Driver

Acura is a luxury division owned by Honda. This luxury sedan is powered by a 2.4-litre engine, enough to produce 280 HP. To have a piece of this gem, be ready to part with around $30,000. Zuckerberg claims to love the car for its considerable safety, comfort and flashy appearance. Being a mid-sized entry-level luxury sedan, it is reasonably roomy and comfortable.

4. The sub-compact Honda Fit

Source: Wirecutter

A surprise ride for the enormously wealthy Zuckerberg. The five-door subcompact car is an average car from the Japanese manufacturer for a medium class family. The I.5 litre engine has the potential of 117 HP. Hence $16,000 on the paper is worth the hatchback.

5. Infiniti G Sedan y

Source: Motor Trend

This sedan’s 3.7-litre engine delivers a punch of 328 HP sufficient to propel the car to speeds of250 kph. It can pick up the pace from –100kph in just 5.9 seconds. The sedan is a produced by Infiniti luxury car division under Renault-Nissan alliance. A generation of this luxury sedan will cost you $22,930.

Top 10 Most Beautiful Stadiums In The World… No.1 Is From An African Country (Photos)


Football is not only an aggressive sport. It can be beautiful. Design of the football arena can either boost the mood of football players. So, go through the following top 10 beautiful stadiums in the world to choose the best one.

TOP 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL FOOTBALL STADIUMS IN THE WORLD

There are many big and small stadium all over the world, but not all of them can be called beautiful.

1. SOCCER CITY, SOUTH AFRICA

Built in 1989, the First National Bank Stadium, called Soccer City, is one of the most popular in the world. This football arena is located in Johannesburg. In 2009, it underwent significant reconstruction. In 2010 South Africa hosted the 2010 football World Cup.

Since then, the Soccer City stadium looks like a calabash, an African pot, and the lighting resembles a fire under the pot.

With a total number of almost 100,000 seats, the Soccer City is one of the biggest football stadium in the world.

2. THE MARACANÃ, RIO DE JANEIRO

One of the most beautiful cities in the world is home to one of the most notable football stadia called Maracanã. Built in 1950, it hosted such remarkable events as the 2014 World Cup, the Rio Olympics 2016 and other. It would be unfair not to mention the 1950 World Cup final when Brazil lost the match against Uruguay even though a new stadium was built and Brazil was a host country. What a pity!

3. THE ALLIANZ ARENA, GERMANY

Opened in 2005, this football arena has an iconic design being home to both Munich-based football teams: Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich. Depending on which team is playing, the stadium can change colors from red to blue and many more. For this purpose, ETFE-foil air panels are used. It is considered one of the best stadiums in the world for its style and shape. The Allianz Arena can host 75,000 spectators.

4. WEMBLEY, THE UNITED KINGDOM

Opened in 1923, Wembley Stadium underwent a significant refurbishment in 2007. With a capacity of 90,000 seats, it is the most beautifully designed football stadium in the United Kingdom.

What makes this stadium even more beautiful is the 134 meters high Wembley Arch stretching over the building. The London Wembley Stadium is called “The Home of Football” as it hosts all the football games as well as musical performances of the most famous singers.

5. FLOATING STADIUM, SINGAPORE

Built in 2007, it is officially recognized as the largest floating stadium in the world. Floating Stadium is probably the most expensive stadium in the world as it is a floating platform anchored to the shore with use of three link-ways. Not to mention the cost of balls lost in the Marina Bay water. The Floating Stadium can carry the weight of around 9000 fans.

6. PANCHO ARENA, HUNGARY

The Pancho Arena is, without doubt, remarkable. With a capacity of 4,500 seats, it features an incredible wooden interior with curved lines. The Pancho Arena was designed by famous Hungarian architect Imre Makovetz who created a feeling of sitting in a museum or holy place.

This architectural miracle was opened in 2014 in Magyar city. It was named after the Hungarian legend of the game Ferenc Puskás whose nickname was Pancho.

7. STADION GOSPIN DOLAC, CROATIA
