As part of a social experiment by Model Prankster, model Leah Jung paraded around the streets of New York completely na ked…with only a realistic-looking pair of jeans painted on her, complete with stitching and on-trend patches, making it look like she’s actually wearing jeans…but nobody even noticed she was naked.

I Could Not Afford To Pay My Mom’s House Rent When I Was In Government

A former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, during a live interview at the ongoing national convention of the Foursquare Gospel Church, at the Foursquare Camp, Ajebo, Ogun State yesterday has disclosed that she never embezzled money during her tenure as a Minister of Education in Nigeria. Here’s what she said.

“There were times I couldn’t pay my mother’s rent, not because I couldn’t make a choice and build her a mansion. When I was in government, we had to withdraw our three children from their school to Baptist Special School. I was (just) answering big titles. Some of you would have said, ‘They are eating our money’. May God save those who speak without knowledge! I am not saying this so that you can say I am holy, I have my shortcomings.

“Integrity will cost you a lot. Anyone who talks about integrity without the cost is preaching what I do not know about. Integrity can require a supreme cost from you. You will be persecuted for making the choice of integrity but make that choice nonetheless.’’ 

Yinka Quadri starts N20million poultry business

55 year old veteran yoruba actor has started a poultry business and we hear it cost him about N20million. See excerpts from his recent interview with Encomium below:

 What’s the latest from your stable right now?
I am working on another blockbuster, The Moon (Osupa).  And just as I have promised my fans that I won’t disappoint them, Osupa is going to be better than all the movies I have produced so far.  Also, I want to use this medium to appreciate all my fans for their support from inception till date.  If not them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.  Then, another project I just embarked upon has to do with poultry.

What informed going into poultry?
I just felt I should also support my country with what I have, and I thought going into poultry farming will serve that purpose.  It has also been on my mind to use what I am and what I have to benefit mankind and support Nigeria.  So, with that project, I believe if I commit the little I am able to get from my career as a theatre practitioner into poultry, I will be able to generate employment for some or few of the unemployed youths.  Even beyond that, it’s also going to benefit a lot of people in different ways.
