61-year-old woman shit twins for Hospital
Antonia Leticia Asti, a Brazillian madame, born twins (a boy and a girl) one week after her 61st birthday.
She and her husband, Jose Cesar Asti don dey find pikin for many years before God butter dem bread.
Dem don try to produce pikin for inside Test tube but the thing no work. Authorities no gree make dem adopt pikin sef because dem don old, nearing dem grave.

Jelena breaks up to Justin and Selena. A speculation?
E be like say Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez (couple called ‘Jelena’) don break up. Abi na speculation?
Wetin cause am na trust issues and the fact that both of them dey very busy. “Busy doing what?” Go ask them!
Dem be children and are prone to changing their mind anytime wey dem like.
“While it’s actually likely that teenage Twitter drama led to the demise of “Jelena,” Barbara Palvin — the model whom Bieber was photographed with has denied that the two are dating multiple times:
“last time im saying it. please calm down.there is nothing going on w him.i met him and did a pic w him. wouldnt u do the same?:) #friendship,” she tweeted on Nov. 10.
It’s obvious that something transpired that was big enough to bring “Jelena” to an end, but for now it’s all just speculation.” – Huffingtonpost na dem yarn am.
Teenage girls unveiled URINE-powered generator at international exhibition in Lagos, Nigeria
Four African girls don create generator wey fit use wee-wee “Urine, that is” to produce electricity. One litre of wee-wee go produce 6-hour supply of electricity.
Dem showcase the generator for Maker Faire in Lagos, Nigeria, a week ago.
The girl-innovators are teens Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, and Faleke Oluwatoyin, all age 14, and Bello Eniola, 15.
No ask me how the thing go work. Go find the girls.
But Yahoo News fit help small:”
- Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.
- The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.
- The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
- This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.
And as for delivering the fuel itself? Well, we’ll leave that up to the consumer.”
Hoping the right quarters go pick this up.

Maridonald: Breaking the cuffs of Marijuana. Colorado and Washington in view!
Seun Anikulapo Kuti, son of Afro-beat maestro, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, wey yamutu about 1.5 decades ago,dey advocate for the legalisation of Marijuana.
His words, “Marijuana is medical, and I feel Cigarette is selling legally because it is white man’s business. It is killing millions of people every day. ‘Igbo’ is not killing anybody… Marijuana is not only for smoking. It’s used for a lot of things; you can make clothes, you can drink tea, it is good, it is medicinal, it helps your appetite, they give it to cancer patients.. a lot of benefits”.
This dey happen as two states in the United States, Colorado and Washington recently joined others as dem legalise the herb ‘for medicinal purposes’.
http://www.sfgate.com/business/prweb/article/Marijuana-Legalization-a-Step-in-the-Right-4025581.php
Other states for United States dey different stages of breaking the cuffs of Marijuana.

The morning after the election wey retain him for white house, an emotional President Barack Obama saluted, maybe with tuale or double tuale sef, his several hundreds of youthful staff for running a campaign wey go “go on in the annals of history.”
As tears dey waka down em face, Obama yarn his team for inside the Chicago campaign headquarters “What you guys have accomplished will go on in the annals of history and they will read about it and they’ll marvel about it.”
“The most important thing you need to know is that your journey’s just beginning. You’re just starting. And whatever good we do over the next four years will pale in comparison to whatever you guys end up accomplishing in the years and years to come,” em yarn.
One history book and many others don talk details about this victory be that o. I marvel at how these people dey create and recreate history. Something for Naijamen to learn. Enjoy!

LAST PILL…
The mind is a great thing, it should be referred to as the 1st or humbly, the 0.5th wonder of the world.
Everyone has a mind which is capable of arresting time, twisting and bending it at will to make a masterpiece of intangibles that are fed to it.
Never asking for too much, neither a mind that will set a carbon paper on fire nor the mind that will make you walk barefoot on red-hot coals, just the one that will break the boundaries of limitation and step gallantly onto that shore with uncertain uncertainties, maybe.
That’s what to have. It’s like the Sword while love is your shield….

AfroNaija Carnival 1
Today na the Carnival/Road Show of Obafemi Awolowo University and see here for pictures:
Naija: More than worth its weight in gold?
RADIO SHOW: Good Morning Naija
STATION: MeroëRadio
TIME: 25 hours G.M.T. every single day, no be small thing
Today’s Issue: Naija: More than worth its weight in gold?
You are welcome to the maiden edition of the radio show, ‘Good Morning, Naija’ on MeroëRadio. This episode promises to be exciting. We shall be focusing on the Naija we know vis-a-vis her current status.
This is borne out of an interest in the catchword employed to brand the golden jubilee of Obafemi Awolowo University, the only University apart from the others – “OAU@50: More than worth its weight in gold”.
What is gold? I’ll say gold is gold!
Call it whatever, in whatever language and in whatever way, the very nature of gold remains. Conceal it in the mud, call it dlog or ungold; what it is is what it is.
There is the beauty and there is the pride of gold, anyday. The beauty may derive also from embellishment and colour-impact from the outside but the pride of gold is in the yellow beauty that arises from its core. This yellow is peculiar, a perfect representation of what gold is and maybe not what it could turn into. So, no embellishment. We switch to lingua pidgin.
Wetin Naija do again wey person no fit yarn in a language wey dey consider the peculiarities of the Naija situation (not really that special a case as not to permit it).
Two years ago, na em Naija clock 50. That one na wetin the Apostles of globalisation, wey dash us language (English type, forgive my error), call Golden Jubilee. Na the age for person to enter menopause and to say, “I don born all the children for my belle. Na to grow remain.”
Same thing with Obafemi Awolowo University, wey start her grand 50th anniversary celebration today (5th of November, 2012).
Before we continue, make we sammer you one ogbonge commercial break (CB).
CB: (Instrumentals)
BUY NIGERIA, DO NIGERIA, PLAY NIGERIA,
TAKE NIGERIA FOR A STROLL (NO LONGER FOR A RIDE,
BECAUSE THE GIANT IN NIGERIA WILL NEVER AGAIN FALL ASLEEP).
BUY NIGERIA FROM US!
You are welcome back. Now that Oba Awon University dey celebrate her 50 born years na the time to account for the number and quality of her children and the standard, developmentally, of her premises.
Her children dey scattered around the globe and are doing excellently well within and outside the country.
Structurally, OAU na the most beautiful campus in the universe (wow! Did I just word an inconclusive thought? of Nigeria (better). And things still dey happen. The Faculty of Pharmacy, my beloved constituency, go soon get a new ultramodern (I suppose) building worth hundreds of million in naira (of course) and just behind am, the Department of Building go get one worth a billion in naira. How benevolent!
Being not infallible however, we suppose admit say no system dey wey no get comma, even ultimately a full-stop. But in comparison with the larger system (the one wey give Great Ife the means to acquire the earlier mentioned buildings), Great Ife stands tall. In spite of every every, the people of the school work to keep one another moving on them toes and the subjects are pleased with the pace.
Abi wetin we go call country wey award contract not for the purpose of contract execution but sharing of contract proceeds. At this point (orita), Ife-Ibadan expressway waka come person mind. Not once, not twice! Similar situations suppose dey waka anyhow on the the mind of my audience.
Once again listeners and this time, I need a response. It don pass two years since Naija, more or less, become gold. How she dey do? “Naija@50: More than worth her weight in gold?”
As we dey reason the response, make we quickly go a musical break (MB) with D’banj’s Oyato. No change the station I beg.
MB: [Sing along]
You are welcome back. D’bank says he’s Oyato. No be so? That one dey symbolize differentiation from the lot which precedes integration into the whole. Woe yamutu (betides) anyone wey sing to the contrary because the order of the day na differentiation for integration.
“Naija: More than her weight in gold?”
Listeners at home, our call line dey open. Call to let us know wetin you reason. Your reason dey important to us.
Once again, this show na Good Morning, Naija on MeroëRadio.
LAST PILL…
Love is all you’ve got when all else is gone.
Cling to it like nothing else counts; hold onto it like you would your last lifeline. Love is a tower that guards and launches.
There, no failures but you got hard conks for doing it the wrong way. that other; those others.
But one could say, in the widest imagination of the universe, “even love is relative” and then put a rubberstamp that displays the face of Albert Einstein.
It may be good to note that gold is gold in spite of all the embellishments, the alter egos. This tower of Love is Love at its core.
