If you see these run fast and ask for help there are so many different animals in the world that nobody even knows the exact number of existing species some of them are beautiful and some are ugly however not everything is as it seems because the ugly ones may be safe and the beautiful ones can be deadly or not [Music] for example this caterpillar looks like…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

somebody dropped their wig by accident it’s not very big but it’s very hairy you might think that because it’s hairy it’s tender to touch but don’t let that fool you in fact if you touch the hairs they will penetrate your skin and sting you wow that doesn’t seem fair now does it according to the experience of other people the pain is unimaginably bad so stay away from this caterpillar if you can however if you get stumped doctors recommend washing the area use soap and water but be very careful not to press the spot because this will make the poison spread faster after you finish washing the sting put some ice on it to reduce the pain if the pain doesn’t go away within the next 30 minutes or so go to the hospital immediately we think caterpillar pus looks too gross to touch it and we hope you agree with us [Music] now we’re going to tell you about 12 other animals that you should run from as fast as you can if you ever encounter them in the wild counting down from number 12 death stalker well the name says it all this is the deadliest scorpion of all to give you some perspective the death stalker is responsible for 75 of all victims of scorpion attacks usually it doesn’t kill healthy adults they only feel terrible pain but it can easily kill children if they are stung they have a fever coma and finally they can’t breathe because the lungs are filled with fluids if this kind of scorpion still doesn’t seem awful enough to you how do you like this they can demonstrate cannibalistic behavior if they can’t find other food they can also eat snakes if they win the fight the only way to survive being stung by this scorpion is to go to the hospital immediately isn’t this fun number 11. carpet viper here comes another champion carpet viper is considered to be the deadliest snake because it kills the biggest number of people yearly the way it kills is really curious in an awful way it injects some toxin into the blood of the victim this toxin doesn’t let the blood clot so the victim just bleeds to death number 10 cone snail now this snail is so dangerous that one drop of its venom is more than enough to end 20 human lives the worst thing about it is there is no cure or some kind of antidote if it stings you you are dead whatever you do it is also known as the cigarette snail because its poison kills you as fast as it takes you to finish one cigarette hopefully you don’t smoke so that you’ll have time for something more important number nine stonefish this thing looks like a stone see now there are two things you need to know about this fish first if you confuse it with a rock and step on its spikes it will poison you and you will lose your leg that’s actually the best case scenario the stonefish is very economical it injects the amount of poison proportional to the pressing weight the second thing is it takes the stonefish just 0.15 seconds to react to a moving object another fish or your leg to open its mouth and bite it so losing a leg is really possible so watch your step whenever you are in the ocean number eight africanized honeybee this kind of bee is very different from all others because africanized honeybees are actually a result of an experiment a brazilian man was trying to make a new breed of bees and actually let them out so these bees are more aggressive than regular bees maybe because they know they were genetically engineered and are pissed off about it and they can chase their victims for very long distances their poison is not more dangerous than the one that normally more friendly bees have but if you get stung by a large number of them you should see a doctor anyway number 7 brazilian wandering spider because they don’t have gps do you know why the most venomous spider in the world is called wandering spider the thing is that unlike other spiders it is often found in places full of people especially in the daytime you can find them in houses or even in cars now we wonder how ron weasley would react to such news number 6. black mamba you may have heard about this snake its name is pretty popular quentin tarantino gave this code name to the main character and kill bill now this snake is known as the most aggressive snake of all you know usually experts say that when you see a snake the best course of action is to move away from the snake as slowly as you can otherwise it might think you are a threat and attack you which is probably the last thing you want to happen however black mamba is very different it can attack you even without provocation some people think that it kind of enjoys it anyways if it bites a person and he or she doesn’t get an antidote in the next 30 to 50 minutes they will die the poison shuts down the nervous system and paralyzes the victim number five poison dart frog if this frog looks beautiful it’s hard to deny that however don’t let this beauty deceive you this frog doesn’t even need to bite you to poison you it has poison on its skin you see this is how it works in nature whatever is the brightest is the most dangerous never touch or even come close to something you want to touch in the wild including the dart frog oh isn’t he pretty let’s just touch it see that doesn’t work does it number four tt fly this fly is not venomous or anything like that however it’s still very dangerous otherwise it wouldn’t end up on this list first of all it sucks blood like a mosquito which is gross enough as it is but the worst thing it can do is transmit african sleeping sickness which kills around 250 000 people every year number three in our cavalcade of killer critters is the blue ringed octopus this octopus is tiny but as you might have guessed really deadly it kills its victims in a very cruel way it bites the victim and injects a poison into the bloodstream after that the victim gets paralyzed within a few minutes which of course means they can’t breathe the only way to help a person in this case is to start artificial respiration and continue to do it for the next few hours until the effect of the poison wears down number 2. komodo dragon these guys are really good hunters they can wait for their prey in a hideout for a long time after they detect the prey they chase it eat out the throat and wait till the victim bleeds to death most humans are lucky because komodo dragons live mostly in places where humans don’t and they don’t need to eat very often well that’s a good thing and number one the most dangerous varmint out there according to our list box jellyfish this is the most dangerous living thing on earth after mosquitoes that transmit malaria of course its venom kills so fast there is nothing you can do just to be safe avoid all jellyfish that you see while swimming on the ocean or the sea boy it makes you just want to go to the beach now doesn’t it anyway we decided not to tell you what to do if any of the described species attacks you in their own way for only one reason the only thing you can do is go to the hospital immediately even if you don’t think that whatever attacked you is dangerous for your health see a doctor you know better safe than sorry otherwise the only surefire way to never meet up with any of these critters is never leave home READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

I Just Met This Guy, He Took Me To a Hotel When We Got There, What He Did Left Me Outraged

Published

I walked into an eatery one afternoon to order takeout. While I waited for my food I kept busy with my phone. A man walked up to me with determination on his face. He smiled and said “Hello my name is Victor. I have been trying to get your attention from my table over there (he points to a far-off table).

You didn’t even blink in my direction.” I looked at him and said “Sorry I’ve been engrossed with my phone.” He said “I can see that. I suppose that’s how to get your attention, through your phone. Can you give me your number then?” I didn’t mind giving…Read Full Story Here……..

1999 Toronto Saga: How Former Speaker, Salisu Buhari, Declared False Age and Forged University Certificate

Published

on

By

On the 3rd of June, 1999, Salisu Buhari, a 29-year-old Nigerian businessman who made his fortune dealing in computers, was elected as the speaker of the House of Representatives in Nigeria, a position which constitutionally made him the fourth most important person in Nigeria.

Unknowing to his colleagues, the government and the whole of Nigeria, Salisu Buhari was not qualified for the office he occupied. Few weeks after he was elected, findings revealed that Salisu Buhari, the sixth Speaker of the House of Rep. forged his way to power…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The News Magazine released an article on the 19th of July, 1999 claiming that Salisu Buhari is seven years younger than the 36 years he claimed to be and that he didn’t attend the University of Toronto in Canada not to talk of graduating from the institution. The News Magazine had more than enough proofs to back their claims thus suppressing all threats made by Salisu Buhari and his lawyers to sue them for libel.

It was made known to the world that Salisu Buhari, the self-acclaimed Toronto University graduate, was actually born in 1970 and not in 1963 which he claimed. This rendered him unqualified to be the Speaker as section 65 subsection 1 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria disqualified anybody under 30 years from contesting membership of the House of Representatives.

Also, it was made known that Salisu Buhari didn’t attend the University of Toronto in Canada not to talk of graduating with a degree in Business Administration in 1990. The University of Toronto, when asked, denied knowing Salisu Buhari. The management said they couldn’t find any record relating to the his name. Carlo Villanueva, an official of the Institution said,

Regarding your request for confirmation of degree for Mr. Ibrahim Salisu Buhari. We have searched our records and could not find anybody with the name you are inquiring with”.

Also, Salisu claimed that he did his national youth service at Standard Construction in Kano. This was proven false as records at the NYSC secretariat in Abuja could not produce his name among the 1991 corps members who served in the scheme. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Blocked in every way, he had no means of escape. After several open denial of the allegations and threats to sue The News Magazine, Salisu Buhari, on Thursday, July 23, 1999, eventually faced Nigerians and admitted declaring false age and forging certificate. In tears, he said,

“I apologize to you. I apologize to the nation. I apologize to my family and friends for all the distress I have caused them. I was misled in error by the zeal to serve the nation, I hope the nation will forgive me and give me the opportunity to serve again.”

He then resigned and walked into the shadows. In 2013, he made his return to the news and the public space when he was appointed as a member of the governing council of the University of Nigeria by President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

Normally, the move garnered a lot of criticism. In a feeble attempt to justify the appointment, the Nigerian government explained that Buhari’s apology had earned him a presidential pardon from President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The Man Called Adegoke Adelabu ‘Penkelemesi’

Published

on

By

 

Joseph Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu alias Adelabu Penkelemesi was a colossal in the political arena of Ibadan and the then Western Region before the independence of Nigeria in 1960.

He was born in Oke-Oluokun, Ibadan, on September 3, 1915 to Mr. Sanusi Ashiyanbi Adelabu and Mrs. Awujola Adelabu. At the tender age of five, Adegoke Adelabu lost his mother and then lived with his paternal aunt. Adegoke Adelabu attended St. David’s C.M.S School in Kudeti, Ibadan from 1925 to 1929; CMS Central School, Mapo, Ibadan in 1930 and Government College, where he was a head boy, from 1931 to 1936…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

In 1936, Adegoke won a U.A.C scholarship to study commerce in Yaba Higher College but eventually left the college six months later to work as an assistant to the UAC Ibadan district manager. After working with UAC for sometime, he was promoted to an Assistant Manager due to his hard and clever work. However, he left UAC in 1937 to start a business of his own which was unsuccessful. He later took up a civil service job, then returned to UAC in 1945 only to leave after a short period to start a textile trading business which was successful.

After acquiring little wealth from his textile business, Adegoke Adelabu got involved in politics. The starting point of his political career was traced to the period when Ibadan lineage chiefs (Mogajis) rose against Salami Agbaje, the then Otun Balogun of Ibadan, from becoming the Olubadan of Ibadan. In 1951, during the local elections, Adelabu and some other political elements formed a new party called the Ibadan People’s Party to challenge the already established Ibadan Progressive Union and fortunately for Adelabu, the new party won all six seats to the Western Regional Assembly.

However, the Ibadan People’s Party broke apart after an informal alliance with NCNC was proposed by Adelabu. Adegoke Adelabu stayed with NCNC and became the secretary of the party’s Western Province Working Committee. In 1954, Adelabu became the chairman of Ibadan District Council. Also, in the Federal elections of 1954, Adegoke Adelabu won a seat to the House of Representatives and later became the First National Vice President of NCNC and appointed Minister of Social Services. He held this post along with his chairmanship of the Ibadan district council.

He later resigned from both positions after allegations of corruption by the opposition party, Action Group.
In 1956, Adelabu ran for a seat in the regional assembly as the leader of NCNC in the Western Region but his party lost majority seats to Action Group thus making Adelabu the leader of opposition in the Western House of Assembly.
Adegoke Adelabu alias Adelabu Penkelemesi was a strong politician, leader and had his ground, a firm ground, in Ibadan. He was found of using the phrase “Peculiar mess” whenever he address the public. The non-literate segment of his followers who had never heard of the words peculiar and mess and never knew its meaning Yorubanized the phrase into “Penkelemesi” and then added it to his name- Adegoke Adelabu Penkelemesi. The people so much loved Adelabu. He was indeed a ‘man of the people’. OldNaija gathered that when he became the Minister of Labour, he was given an official limousine car which he drove to Ibadan to show his friends and followers and declared that the car belonged to them, not him. Also, when Adelabu was given an official residence in Ikoyi, the most exquisite part of Lagos inhabited mostly by the British and French, he called drummers from his hometown to celebrate the success which the British and French residents found disturbing. Adegoke Adelabu simply said, “If they do not like noise and drumming, they are free to go back to their own country.” Adegoke Adelabu admitted being an egoist in a book he wrote in 1952 titled ‘Africa In Ebullition: Being a handbook of freedom for Nigerian nationalists’.

On March 25, 1958, at the age of 43, Adegoke Adelabu met his untimely death in a fatal car accident on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. His death sparked protest and chaos in Ibadan as many of his supporters claimed he was assassinated by his opponents with juju. Several properties were destroyed and people also lost their lives. The police arrested over 500 persons of whom 102 was charged with murder and others discharged and some, jailed. It was indeed a big loss, a “peculiar miss” for the people of Ibadan.
