Mentally-ill woman gives birth to baby girl in front of TV station in Anambra by saintbillion(m) : 11:01 am On Apr 07

A woman said to be mentally challenged gave birth in front of the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) Awka on Wednesday, April 6.



It was gathered that staff of ABS came to work in the morning to see her in the delivery process and they helped to deliver the baby girl weighing 3.2 kg.



The woman was described as a resident of the area because she sleeps and wakes up at the bus stand in front of ABS on a daily basis.



All efforts by staff of the establishment to ascertain where she came from proved abortive as she often became violent whenever she is approached.



A staff of ABS, Mrs Eucharia Nwachukwu who helped in the delivery process said she was alerted and immediately rushed to the bus stand only to discover that the lady had put to bed with the help of some women but joined them to help her deliver the placenta.



The Chief Medical Director Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka, Dr Josephat Akabuike explained that he received a call from a staff of ABS, alerting him of the development and he immediately detailed his nurses to the scene.



Dr Akabuike added that the new mother is presently in their custody but wondered how long she will stay in the hospital since no one knows her identity.



The lady in question who gave her name as Hope Eze, claimed she hails from Cote d'Voir while her mother is from Imo state.



She claimed not be aware that she was pregnant until she started having contractions.



Hope told ABS that she was lured by woman who promised to take her abroad but she later discovered the said lady is a prostitute.

I have never been a crossdresser. I'm a skitmaker" James Brown's colleague, Tobi The Creator, cries out in the wake of the crossdressibg bill by saintbillion(m) : 11:04 am On Apr 07

Tobi The Creator, who features in videos and photos with James Brown, has denied being a crossdresser.



Tobi became popular for wearing female clothes while creating videos and posing in photos alongside James Brown.



Now, with the House of reps members considering a bill to criminalise crossdressing, except when it's done for the purpose of entertainment, Tobi has released a disclaimer, stating that he crossdresses only for entertainment purposes.



He wrote: "I am not a crossdresser. I have never been a crossdresser. I am a skitmaker/entertainer and entertainers are not limited to what to wear until now."



James Brown, who is currently schooling in the UK, reshared Tobi's disclaimer and mocked him for running.

"So you run?" James Brown asked as he shared Tobi's post.

If the bill becomes law, crossdressers will be sentenced to 6 months in jail if found guilty.

Kenyan-based doctors design device to ease menstrual pain by saintbillion(m) : 11:15 am On Apr 07

A team of medical experts in Nairobi, Kenya, has designed an innovative device that helps ease menstrual pains.



NTV Kenya said Wednesday, April 6, that the device, which is already in circulation at a moderate price has leads that are connected to some sticky pads called electrodes, which help deliver small electrical impulses to the painful area of a woman’s body and subsequently ease the pain.



One of the leading innovators of the device, who is also the chief executive and co-founder of Swift Wellness, Peter Arina, said watching his friend struggle with menstrual pain prompted him to devise a solution.



Arina said: "The device has leads connected to sticky pads called electrodes. To relieve pain, you attach the pads directly to your skin and turn the device on. The pads will deliver small electrical impulses to the area in pain."



According to the innovators, the electrical impulses are capable of reducing the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, which may help relieve pain and relax muscles. They may also stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers.



The health informatics expert reveals that the device’s working mechanism is inspired by a science called gateway control theory, which dictates that in the human body, an external impulse is given priority over an internal impulse.



During menstruation, the pain from the menstrual periods is the internal impulse, and it travels all the way to the brain such that when you place the electrodes and the impulse transmission starts, the external impulse is sent to the brain, which forces it to focus on the external impulse, thereby reducing pain from the abdomen.



A co-author of the invention and general practitioner at Karen Hospital, Dr Jane Wavinya said: "During menstrual periods, there are hormones produced called prostaglandins that cause pain. Pain is also caused by uterine contractions and ischaemia, which results from a mechanism where the blood vessels in the uterus constrict, reducing blood supply to the uterus."



She noted that women with a tendency to produce more blood clots are also predisposed to more pain because the uterus has to contract more to expel these blood clots. She explains that besides disrupting the pain pathway to the brain, the electrical stimulation also stimulates the production of endorphins, the feel-good hormones which relieve pain and boost moods.



"We have sold 207 units so far. We have received orders in the evenings from clients who are stuck to their seats because of the pain. We have made deliveries at night, and we have had to deal with clients agitated because of pain," Mr Arina added.



A physiotherapist at Aga Khan University Hospital, Dr Irene Onyimbo, says the mechanism used by the device is safe and similar to the devices they use to manage pain in physiotherapy.



"We use Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation technology to treat body pains," she says.



Although it is safe for most people, experts recommend that pregnant women should avoid using TENS in the abdominal and pelvic regions while applying electrodes to the head or neck of people with epilepsy as this could induce seizures.



People with heart problems and those with another type of electrical implant should also avoid it. The duration of pain relief after using the TENS unit can vary.



Some people may experience pain as soon as they switch off the device while others experience adequate relief for up to 24 hours. Children and teenagers under 16 are exempt from using the device, and it cannot be used underwater.



The device comes with a manual, its electrodes and a charger. Its battery lasts for six hours if used continuously and it has to be charged fully before use.



"Use it for 30 minutes, take a one-hour break, and use it again depending on your pain. Pressing on the M (mode) button, you can adjust the frequency depending on your pain. You can use it at work, working out, and even while sleeping," Dr Wavinya said.

Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' shirt to go to auction with £4 million estimated price by saintbillion(m) : 11:19 am On Apr 07

The shirt Diego Maradona wore in the game against England when he scored the infamous "Hand of God" goal is expected to be sold for at least £4million at auction.



Maradona scored two of the most memorable goals in World Cup history to knock the Three Lions out at the quarter-final stage in the 1986 tournament in Mexico.



During the quarter-final, the late great former Argentina captain rose above Peter Shilton to punch his side into the lead at the Azteca Stadium and the officials failed to spot that he had handled the ball.
At the time, the forward described the goal as being made "a little with the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of God".



The mercurial Napoli legend swapped shirts with England midfielder Steve Hodge after the last-eight showdown.



The shirt has been on loan to the National Football Museum in Manchester, but will be on display at Sotheby's in London for a bidding period between April 20th to May 4th and it will not come cheap.



Brahm Wachter, head of Streetwear and modern collectables at Sotheby's, said: "The Hand of God is truly a singular moment not only in the history of sports, but in the history of the 20th century.



"The moment resonated far beyond the world of football, coming soon after the Falklands conflict, and has in turn inspired books, films, and documentaries. Maradona is now remembered as one of the greatest to ever play the game of football - and this particular game is an instrumental part of his legacy.



"Of course, not only was 'The Hand of God' goal scored in this game, but also, the 'Goal of the Century' which is widely considered to be one of the greatest individual goals of all time."

Body of CAF/FIFA medical officer, Dr Joseph Kabungo arrives Zambia from Nigeria by saintbillion(m) : 11:21 am On Apr 07

The body of late CAF/FIFA medical officer, Dr Joseph Kabungo, who died at the Abuja stadium has arrived his country, Zambia.



The Ethiopian Airlines flight ET873 carrying the body touched down at KKIA in Lusaka on Wednesday afternoon, April 6, together with his family representatives, FAZ general secretary Adrian Kashala and four medical doctors who had travelled to Nigeria.



Dr Kabungo died after violence erupted when the final qualifying match between Nigeria and Ghana ended 1-1.



The Zambian official was appointed by the world football governing body, FIFA, as the Doping Control Officer for the match.



Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) denied that Kabungo's death at the stadium was caused by the stampede at the stadium.



The NFF said its findings show that he “died as a result of sudden cardiac arrest."



The funeral service will be held at Woodlands stadium on Thursday with burial set for the same day at Memorial Park.

My sack and NURTW Lagos dissolution is laughable – MC Oluomo by saintbillion(m) : 11:23 am On Apr 07

Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo has said that his sack as chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Lagos council and dissolution of the council's executive by the National Administrative Council (NAC) is laughable.



The dissolution statement was jointly signed by NURTW National President, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, and General Secretary, Alhaji Kabiru Ado Ya’u.



Lagos State Council Secretary, Seyi Bankole was also announced as the new head of NURTW in Lagos.



The embattled former NURTW leader who has now reacted to his sack, stated that it is laughable as all the union members in the state have pulled out of the national body.



MC Oluomo maintained that his earlier suspension was unconstitutional and further added that the dissolution has no effect because the activity of the state council has been suspended by the Lagos State government.



He also asked why the NURTW President is acting outside the constitution and hell-bent on destroying the union activities in Lagos just as he did in some states in the Southwest.



Urging members of the union in the state to remain calm, he added that the union members are waiting for the announcement of the Lagos State government on the appointment of park managers in the state.



Oluomo told The Nation;



“That is part of the maladministration of the President that we talked about in our former briefings; the dissolution doesn’t make any sense. However, people must know that we do not have any problem with the national body but the President.

“We’ll be waiting to see how the person appointed to run the affairs of the union will act. The union has already been suspended. Is the national body saying they are more powerful than the state government? Announcing the sack of people already pulled out of the national body is a joke and laughable”

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly pays his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez €100,000 monthly salary by saintbillion(m) : 11:27 am On Apr 07

It has been claimed that Manchester United and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo pays his partner Georgina Rodriguez €100,000 per month to fund her lavish lifestyle



The Portuguese striker is one of the best-paid players in world football, having signed a bumper deal when he returned to United in Old Trafford, and earns a staggering £385,000 per week.



According to Catalan publication El Nacional, the €100,000 (£83,000) sum relates to "expenses and care of the children". The couple had their first child together in late 2017, a daughter named Alana, while Ronaldo has older children from surrogates.
As a stay-at-home mum, Italian publication Corriere dello Sport also claimed that Ronaldo is happy to give 26-year-old Rodriguez a hefty wedge every month as she also looks after surrogate twins Eva and Mateo and Cristiano Jr.



Rodriguez met Ronaldo, who she describes as her "Prince Charming", in 2016, when she was working at a Gucci store in Madrid, and they have been together since then.

'I'm not going to address that s***' - Chris Rock refuses to comment on Will Smith controversy at New York's Comedy Cellar by saintbillion(m) : 11:31 am On Apr 07

Chris Rock refused to address the controversy surrounding Will Smith slapping him at the The Oscars last week.



The 57-year-old veteran comedian showed up for a surprise stand-up set at New York City's iconic Comedy Cellar on Tuesday night.



He, however, made it known that he wouldn't be addressing the slap incident at the Oscars.



A source told Page Six that as soon as Chris got on stage he got on the microphone and said: 'Lower your expectations, I'm not going to address that s***.'



The star began his Ego Death comedy tour last week and many dates sold out after the slapping incident.



The source also revealed that Chris joked about the new interest in his stand-up performances and that he was workshopping material because 'all of a sudden people cared about his early shows.'



The talented comedian has refused to go into any detail about the Academy Awards incident for the most part but did stop fans from cursing out Will during his comedy show in Boston on Thursday night.



'F**k Will Smith!' a fan shouted, likely in an attempt to show support for Chris days after Will slapped him onstage during Hollywood's biggest night.



'No, no, no, no, no...' the comedian replied, according to People, putting an end to the verbal attacks.



The night before, during his first public appearance since the Oscars slap, Rock was also met with 'Will Smith' chants from the audience, and the comedian briefly address the slap during the show, noting that he still needs time to 'process' the assault.



He also told the crowd: 'I haven't talked to anyone, despite what you heard,' referencing rumors that Rock and Smith had made amends.



Rock took to the stage at the Wilbur Theatre on Wednesday and asked: 'How was your weekend?'



The question got a big laugh from the crowd, but Rock warned those at the sold-out venue that the show would go on as planned.



'I don't have like a bunch of s*** to say about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I had like a whole show I wrote before... this weekend...' he said to more laughs. 'And I'm still kind of processing what happened.



'So at some time I'll talk about that s***... and it'll be serious. It'll be funny,' he said before an audience member shouted, 'F*** Will!'



'I'm gonna tell some jokes,' Rock concluded, later revealing that he hasn't spoken to 'anyone' since the incident, alluding to reports that he and Smith have reconciled.



Meanwhile, his 42-year-old younger brother Kenny said The Academy should strip him of his Oscar a week-and-a-half after the now notorious slapping altercation.



Chris' sibling told the Los Angeles Times that he has had trouble repeatedly watching the now infamous moment involving his brother from last week's Oscars ceremony and that he should be stripped of the Best Actor trophy.



He said: 'It eats at me watching it over and over again because you've seen a loved one being attacked and there's nothing you can do about it.



'Every time I'm watching the videos, it's like a rendition that just keeps going over and over in my head.'

Kenny continued to express his distaste for the A-list actor's actions.

He said: 'My brother was no threat to him and you just had no respect for him at that moment.

'You just belittled him in front of millions of people that watch the show.'



On Friday, Will resigned from The Academy calling his actions during the ceremony 'shocking, painful and inexcusable,' adding that he would accept any additional consequences issued by the Academy's Board of Governors.



'The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,' Smith said. 'I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.'



Chris' brother Kenny was asked if he accepts Will's apology and says he doesn't especially considering that it took so long to get it out of the I Am Legend star.



He explained: 'I might have looked at it differently had he initially apologized when he got on the stage and cried and accepted the award, but he didn’t, so, right there that tells me that it is something else.'

Why I am giving out 100k each to 41 people on my birthday - Sujimoto GMD, Sijibomi Ogundele by saintbillion(m) : 11:38 am On Apr 07

If your neighbor is hungry, then your chicken isn’t safe. For us at Sujimoto, giving is not a corporate social responsibility – it is an obligation. Growing up in the lowest corners of Agege, I understand what it means to come from the lowest part of society and to rise to the very height of greatness; but my story would never have been possible if it wasn’t for the blessing of the almighty, and the many opportunities that great men and women have given to me over the years to excel and to prove that luxury can be truly achieved in Africa. Our entire operation at Sujimoto is driven by the depth of the foundation of generosity, first to our clients and then to our staff, having the empathy to go beyond their daily needs to create a work environment that helps them grow both in their personal and professional pursuit.

Interestingly, it is in this same spirit of generosity, that we have created Homewin Limited, an organization that is truly conscious of the challenges facing average Nigerians and providing them with an opportunity to own their own homes with just N500 naira and rewarding over 11,000 thousand Nigerians with awesome gifts and cash prizes in 100 days .

From winning an ovarian lottery from an incredible mother who for 41 years has taught me that there’s no bigger weapon for success than generosity; As I turn 41 on Friday the 8th of April, 2022, I am inundated by the happenings in our dear country Nigeria and the constant travails of People especially petty traders who are working tirelessly, but with little to show for their efforts. From fuel scarcity to the rising cost of diesel and collapse of the national grid which has led to little or no electricity supply, one is left to wonder how citizens, especially petty traders are surviving in these difficult times. Increasing cost of transportation and food items. Not to even mention the constant menace of kidnapping and insecurity that has become our reality within the last few years.

In view of this, and considering that as the son of a one-time petty trader mother, who has now grown to become the top 3 distributors for Nestle, courtesy of the mercies of God, I have decided to take my birthday celebration to the market where it all began and gift 41 people one hundred thousand naira each, to boost their business or private life. For some of these SMEs, their entire trade is not even up to N20,000 and yet these men and women struggle daily to fend for their families. I believe that an injection of N100,000 would help to put a smile on their faces and stock up more goods.

Growing up in Agege and getting to this level of success, my story would never have been possible without the mercy of God and the blessing of being a Nigerian and living in Nigeria, a land where opportunities abound. Nigeria is the only country where an Indian can come in as a store keeper and then become a manufacturer, and a Lebanese could also come in as a project manager and become a big-time contractor. Nigeria has birthed great men in the likes of Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Abdul Samad Rabiu, Innoson; and if these men could make it here in Nigeria, anyone whether in the middle of Kano, or in the center of Awka, or even in the town of Agege, can also make it in Nigeria because I believe that the problem of the Nigerian youth is not a lack of creativity, but a lack of capital.
My intention with the Homewin MEGA Promo is to touch many lives within the space of 100 days and to give many Nigerians the opportunity to be a part of this mega promo with just N500. I believe that luck is not as random as people think, because you can’t be lucky if you don’t take steps to play, if you play you stand a chance to win but if you don’t play, you have removed yourself from the basket of winners. Success is not served ala carte, it is a buffet, and you have to go for it!

One lucky Nigerian will have the opportunity to win the grand prize of a fully furnished apartment in Lekki worth N50 million naira. Also, 65 Winners will win Daily cash prizes every day. Over 11,000 Nigerians will win numerous gift and cash prizes within the space of 100 Days, and 1 person will win salary for life -100k for 10years, starting from Worker’s Day – May 1st, 2022. There are also 2 Brand New Cars to be won, 100 Smart phones, 50 Smart TV and soooo many more consolation prizes.

So, as I mark my 41st birthday in a few days, I say a big congratulations to all the anticipated recipients of my birthday giveaway (N100,000 to 41 people) and may my little generosity lead to great increase and abundance in your life. Amen.

For more information on how to participate in the giveaway, visit and follow @homewinng and @sujimoto81 on Instagram.
