Young inventor dazzles Pres Jonathan with power-generating football

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday expressed delight over the creativity of a 25-year-old Nigerian, Jessica Matthews, who invented a power-generating football called SOCCKET ball.

Matthews, who is a co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Unchartedplay, was at the Presidential Villa, Abuja to present the ball, which can generate three hours of light from 30 minutes of play to Jonathan.

She also presented an energy-generating skipping rope to the President.

He described her feat as a proof of the quality of human resource present in Nigeria.

The President said the invention was useful as a major tool that could be used to mobilise young Nigerians and encourage them to think more deeply.

Nigeria is not cursed – CAN replies Obasanjo

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has faulted a recent statement attributed to former president, Olusegun Obasanjo who said that Nigeria is jinxed and cursed.

General Secretary of the association, Rev. Musa Asake, while reacting to Obasanjo’s statement noted that despite the fact that Nigeria is going through some challenges, it does not mean that the country is cursed or jinxed.

He maintained that the current state of things would soon be over “as there is always a trying time for every nation”.

“We have not been privileged to get the full information on the statement credited to the former president, but whatever he said may be the way he was seeing things; CAN would not want to speak more about the statement, because we do not know why he made such a statement,” he said.

People who have sex more than 4 times a week make more money – Study

Nydailynews: People who have frequent sex make more money, new research from the Institute for the Study of Labor in Germany reveals.

Employees having sex more than four times a week make nearly 5% more than those who don’t, said study author Nick Drydakis. They also have better “emotional stability, more extraversion and less health limitations such as diabetes, heart diseases and arthritis,” Drydakis told the Daily News in an email.

People who get busy often tend to be happier and healthier — factors that are also linked to positive performance in the office.

“People need to love and be loved, sexually and non-sexually,” Drydakis explained. “In the absence of these elements, many people become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and depression that could affect their working life.”

Oshiomhole nabs Edo teacher who cannot read properly [VIDEO]

Edo Governor, Adams Oshiomhole yesterday nabbed a teacher Mrs. Augusta Odemwigwe who could not read properly.

Mrs Odemwigwe was asked to read an affidavit she swore to declare her age but to the amusement of all, she stuttered continuously until the governor helped in reading it for her.

The teacher when asked to repeat a sentence she didn’t read well answered “make I start am again”.

Oshiomhole, stunned by the low level of intellect displayed by Odemwigwe, who has spent 20 years in the profession, read the sworn affidavit and wondered if she could write same on the board.

Mrs Odemwigwe has spent over 20 years in the teaching profession and presently teaches in Asalogun Primary School in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo state.

The governor discovered this during an exercise to screen over a thousand teachers involved in fraud. The teachers are accused of falsifying their age to get into service.
