Steve Ludwin, a 42-year-old snake obsessed rocker from California regularly injects venom from the world’s deadliest snakes into his bloodstream so that he can be immune to snake poison and other viruses.

Around 100,000 people around the world die from snake bites every year, and another 250,000 are permanently disabled, but these statistics don’t seem to scare Steve Ludwin. Every week for the past 23 years he has been injecting a venom cocktail from the world’s most dangerous snakes, trying to train his antibodies to resist the poison. By gradually increasing the quantity and frequency of the injections, he believes one day he will become immune not only to snake poison, but other viruses as well. See photos below {}....{}

When churches compel ladies who have been séxually active for years to just abstain from the act over night it should be made clear that most of these ladies may just be pretending to be abstaining because of the man they want to get married to in church but they are busy getting "enough servicing" from other men.

This was the big mess that played out at a Redeemed Church last Saturday, 22nd February, 2014.

“Light out They say",

Awaiting a new dawn,

Alas!

Sliting, shooting and torching them together,

Do you know that Nigerians are now living as refugees in Niger Republic? That is the reality of the matter, sad as it is. As you read this, tens of thousands of Nigerians have gone to Niger to escape from the latest wave of attacks and bombings by the deadly sect, Boko Haram, that continue to operate with impunity.

One of the students who was shot by the terrorists but managed to survived, said:

“I was shot on my left leg, while I was sleeping. When I woke up, I could not walk and was later taken to the girls hostel where the insurgents gathered us with the female students. They selected some of the female students and went away with them, while they left some of us groaning in pain from gun shot”.

Majority of the time ladies tend to date bad guys, probably because bad guys have sweet mouth and know in clear terms how to say the lovely things ladies want to hear. This lady, her name is Gabriella, fell into the hands of a bad guy and this is the result. Her boyfriend almost killed her:

It would be recalled that John had allowed the society to influence him and thus ignored his father's teachings in the preparations for his wedding and the wedding proper. His wife had put on make-up and a séxy wedding dress. They even hired an executive limousine for the wedding that took place in Jamaica.

The Federal Government has increased passport fee by 50%.

The heat is coming from all fronts, hence President Goodluck Jonathan and his agents now want Nigerians to see them as working and doing something to resolved the revelations by CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido that the country's $20billion has find its way into the pockets of powerful men and woman in power.

Consequently, President Jonathan met top officials of NNPC on Thursday in closed-door meeting inside one of the very private office in the Presidential Villa, far from the access of journalists.

Pres. Jonathan Appoints Zenith Bank Chief, Godwin Emefiele As New CBN Governor.

Hence, it has been heard that President Jonathan has picked the current Managing Director of Zenith Bank Godwin Emefiele to replace Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the new Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. His name has been forwarded to the Senate for confirmation.

Reacting to his suspension by President Goodluck Jonathan while he was on an official assignment outside the country, CBN Governor Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi said, "you can suspend me but you can't kill the truth". While speaking to CNBC, Sanusi said he will come back to Nigeria to challenge the action, otherwise other CBN Governors will no longer have the boldness to speak out when things are going wrong.

The Presidency can no longer endure the BIG revelations from Sanusi Lamido. He has been suspended...

A statement from the Presidency reads: "Having taken special notice of reports of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and other investigating bodies, which indicate clearly that Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s tenure has been characterized by various acts of financial recklessness and misconduct which are inconsistent with the administration’s vision of a Central Bank propelled by the core values of focused economic management, prudence, transparency and financial discipline.

The massive looting of Nigeria’s resources is directly responsible for the state of embedded terror today. Why does Nigeria’s NNPC under Diezani Alison-Madukwe have kerosene sold to the people at $150 per liter, while claiming and keeping a subsidy on the 10 million liters sold per day at N40.9/liter, that enables the stealing of N100+/liter from the poor, through her handful of cabal portfolio middle-men marketers?

With the subsidy scam that several political cabal have shares in, the Goodluck administration scams Nigerian masses of $10 million every day!

Ladies, if you know you still want to be "free like a bird", then don't go into marriage as there is no room to be free as actress Uche Iwuji had wanted it. The babe want to be married and still continue doing "runs"!
