"Most deal breakers agreed before minimising shocks."

A third agreed: "I seriously love this. You mentioned so many points that are beneficial to a relationship that so many people miss going over before getting married."

The woman's list of 20 things to discuss before marriage:

1. Talk about debt

2. Fully and willingly committing to one another : The woman said there shouldn't be "what ifs" and "it's not the right time", you're either in or you're out.

3. When/how many kids you both want – Adoption? Are one of you infertile?

4. STDs: She added: "Get checked. Seek medical help/informed professional knowledge. Keep those tests up to date and find ways to do so even within the marriage."

5. Talk about your 5-10 year timeline regarding career/education: The woman said: "Can you move? Willingness to relocate? Etc."

6. Religion: The Twitter user said it's important to be open to growth, adding: "Do you share fundamental CORE beliefs about life? Very important."

15. Savings: Under this point, the woman said: "How much do y'all have earned and combined? How much are your intended salaries? Is it sustainable? Apartment? House? Condo? Speak futuristically if it's not something you can afford right now. Get on the same page."

16. What is cheating? Have this conversation to outline what you both consider as infidelity.

17. Physical and verbal abuse: She said: "What is and isn't considered abusive language and decorum? Seek help, please. Professionals can always step in."

19. LOVE is not what keeps the relationship going: While it's important to love, the woman noted it's important to get out the princess-king happily ever after mindset.

20. Education doesn't matter: The woman's final point is to discuss education because "none of this matters in the long run". She continued: "Trust. You aren't a good person based off superficial attributes."

Report reveals seabirds FECES is worth millions of dollars

Bird poop is said to be good luck, but a new study suggests it is worth much more.

A new report calculates that feces from seabirds, like Seagulls and pelicans, is worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Formally known as guano, the waste is used in commercial fertilizer and nutrients found in the 'white gold' contributes to the health of coastal and marine life.

Scientists suggest the new findings could save gulls, pelicans, penguins and other species of conservation concern.

Ecologist Professor Marcus Cianciaruso, of the Federal University of Goias, Brazil, described the result as 'staggering'.

'Guano production is a service made by seabirds at no cost to us,' he said.

'I can go to an island, collect the guano, and sell it at market price as fertilizer.'

Cianciaruso and his team set out to raise awareness of how crucial seabirds and their habitats are by investigating the cost of their declining populations by calculating the value of these birds' waste.

Researchers estimate seabird poop generates more than $473 million each year and the amount could be more.

'Because there is this scientific and biological importance, it's possible to quantify seabird ecosystem services in a language that the general public and policymakers can begin to understand,' said Cianciaruso.

There is only a handful of seabird species that produce guano for commercial use, with a majority of them residing in Peru, Chile.

The team wrote in the study published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution that seabirds poop acts as nature's of returning nutrients back and forth 'between marine and terrestrial habitats,' wrote Cianciaruso and his coauthor, Daniel Plazas-Jiménez, a doctoral student at the Federal University of Goiás.

'They release high concentrations of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) through their faeces, causing important environmental changes in these ecosystems,' reads the study.

Plazas-Jiménez said: 'We made a very conservative estimate that 10% of coral reef fish stocks depend on seabird nutrients.'

'According to the United Nations and the Australian government, the annual economic returns of commercial fisheries on coral reefs is over $6 billion. 

'So, 10 percent of this value is around $600 million per year.'

Combining these values with the estimated guano amount of nearly $474 million, the value of seabird poop increases to an $1 billion.

UNILAG names Theophilus Soyombo new Ag. VC

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Governing Council has named Prof. Theophilus Soyombo as Ag. Vice Chancellor to replace Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe who was removed on Wednesday over allegations of misconduct and others.

Soyombo’s appointment was announced in a statement by the Registrar and Secretary to Council Oladejo Azeez, who also noted that Ogundipe was lawfully removed by Council.

Ogundipe had described his removal as null and void, saying it did not follow the process for removal as contained in Section 17 of the University of Lagos Act.

However Azeez noted the Council decided on Soyombo, who is of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the same meeting where Ogundipe was removed.

The statement reads: “My attention has been drawn to a document circulating under the hand and signature of the former Vice Chancellor of University of Lagos, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS. The letter purports to deny his removal by the Governing Council of University at its Emergency Meeting of Wednesday, August 12, 2020.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I am in my capacity as Registrar and Secretary to Council the only custodian of the minutes of Council and the authorising officer on behalf of Council to issue official statements pertaining to all Council Affairs.

“Members of the public are hereby advised to totally disregard the statement attributed to the said former Vice Chancellor. The position remains that he was lawfully removed by the Governing Council at a meeting fully attended by all Council members.

“I also wish to use the opportunity to inform members of the public that Council at the said meeting duly appointed Professor Theophilus Omololu Soyombo of the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Lagos as Vice Chancellor of the University in an Acting Capacity.”

Send old generation out of power, Obasanjo tells Youths

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has asked African youths to dislodge the older generation from leadership positions.

Obasanjo urged the youths to participate actively in the activities of political parties to take over the structure from them.

Obasanjo said this on Wednesday while delivering a keynote address at an interactive session held virtually to mark this year’s International Youth Day.

The programme was organised by the Youth Development Centre, an arm of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

Participants were drawn from Nigeria, Mali, USA, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.

According to him, unless older people are forced out of the political stage, they will continue to occupy the leadership positions to the detriment of the youths.

 “Unless you squeeze out those who are in the office and those who want to remain in office perpetually, some after the age of 80, unless you squeeze them out, they will not want to be out.

“The type of change I am talking about, that I believe we can all embark upon is to subscribe to the constitution of political parties in favour of youths. Or if you like it, you call it affirmative action in favour of youths. For instance, if you say, in the constitution of a political party, not less than 50 per cent of those who hold executive office within the party will be less than 40 years,” .

Aug. 24 officially declared "Kobe Bryant Day" in California

Orange County supervisors have voted to officially declare Aug. 24 as "Kobe Bryant Day" in the Southern California county where the late NBA legend made his home.

Aug. 24 was chosen because Bryant was born Aug. 23, 1978, and he also wore the numbers 8 and 24 during his career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bryant died back in January when his helicopter crashed into a Calabasas hillside en route to a youth basketball tournament. The Lakers legend, his daughter Gianna, and seven others were tragically killed in the crash.

"Kobe Bryant Day" was suggested by Orange County Board chairwoman Michelle Steel. Steel mentioned that Bryant was a "treasured member of our community," and "inspired so many men and women to pursue their dreams and never give up."

According to the Orange County Register, Steel is a lifelong Lakers fan and even was almost forced to give birth at The Forum because she was attending a Lakers game.

The Orange County Board certainly felt that this was a fitting tribute to honor Bryant on his 42nd birthday.

"Kobe Bryant's life, like each one of us who ever lived, presents moments to celebrate and to condemn," supervisor Don Wagner told CBS LA. "Kobe, like all of us, faced challenges, challenges of his own making and challenges thrown at him by life, that he overcome. Today, we celebrate the effort in overcoming those challenges.

"So we strike a balance, and on balance here the good recognized in the resolution brought here is worth celebrating.

I remain UNILAG vice-chancellor, Ogundipe insists

Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe has insisted that he remains the vice-chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

This is coming after Ogundipe’s removal was announced during the meeting of the Governing Council of the institution which held at the National Universities Commission (NUC) building in Abuja today.

Seven members voted for the removal of Ogundipe while four voted against. One of the members voted that he should rather be placed on suspension.

The meeting was presided over by its Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Dr. Wale Babalakin (SAN).

However, Ogundipe in a statement hours later countered the announcement by the registrar and secretary to the governing council Oladejo Azeez, saying the news of his removal was “untrue”.

“The attention of the University of Lagos (Unilag) management has been drawn to the ‘Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos’; dated August 12, 2020 and signed by Oladejo Azeez, Esq, Registrar and Secretary to Council, stating that the current Vice Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS has been removed from office with immediate effect,” the statement reads.

“This is untrue and a figment of his imagination. Therefore, stakeholders of Unilag and the general public are advised to disregard this mischievous disinformation about the sitting Vice Chancellor of Unilag, contained in that notice. Professor Ogundipe still remains Unilag’s Vice Chancellor.”

Ogundipe was accused of gross misconduct, financial recklessness and abuse of office.

BBNaija: Ooni of Ife also wants reality show SCRAPPED

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has added his voice to the calls for the scrapping of Big Brother Nigeria reality show, also called BBNaija.

The monarch said the show misrepresents “the goodness and integrity of the Nigerian youths”.

Instead, the Ooni advocated for a new show that will be more beneficial to the youths. 

The new show already has a willing sponsor, Elizabeth Jack Rich, founder of Elizabeth Jack-Rch Aid Foundation

The Ooni spoke in Ile-Ife at an interaction with scores of youths who visited him as part of the celebration of International Youth Day.

The monarch’s guests are members of the Nigerian Youth Council.

He described the youths as the country’s untapped immeasurable wealth and resources and urged them to take leadership roles.

Without mincing words, the Ooni knocked the youths for misplacing their priorities.

He appealed to them to redeem themselves as a matter of urgent public importance.

“Nigerian youths are fond of accusing and abusing our leaders. Stop abusing them. Contribute your own quota. Let’s wear our thinking caps and begin to act like the real future leaders that we are.

“In the last general election, the total number of votes cast was around 27 million while over 170 million people voted during the 2019 Big Brother Naija reality show.

“This is a practical reality of who Nigerian youths are and where our priorities lie as Nigerians.

“The funny side in all of these is that we still go to bed, have a good sleep and wake up with the hope to meet a Nigeria we didn’t create. Nigerian Youths! Nigerian Youths!! Nigerians Youths!!!

“Unfortunately, every time I talk about this kind of attitude, everyone just laugh and move on. What kind of nation are we building?

“When people say this country, or what kind of country is this, they are indirectly saying these people – it is the people that make a country; so what kind of Nigerian youths are we?” Ooni asked.

The monarch suggested a new reality show, which will project the country’s values and tradition.

He urged leaders of the National Youth Council of Nigeria to work out plans on the show, which will be called, “The Big Nigeria Reality Show”.

“The proposed show will be structured in a way that young professionals, talented individuals and others across several field of endeavour will be showcased and helped to reach their peak.

“This would help the participants and also help viewers to have access to people that can be seen as role models,” Ooni added.

Horrific photos! Mutant goat born with no nose and eyes in its mouth is worshiped in India

A goat born with a pair of eyes in its mouth and no nose is being worshiped as a god in India.

Locals in Muzaffarpur, north east India have been crowding around the creature to worship it like a deity. 

The black and white baby goat has two eyes which are attached together on the inside of its mouth. 

In India, such animals are considered to bring good luck and prosperity to whichever family worships it.

Video footage shows that locals desperate to pray to the tiny kid. Goats, cows or any animal born with one eye are considered to be sacred.

A woman in the background can be heard saying: ' I haven't seen anything bizarre like this but only heard, God knows what it is.'

The owner, who wished not to be named, said: 'Ever since the kid was born, the people had started crowding at my house and want to worship it, but we have refused as the kid is still in distress.

'The villagers are considering it to be a miracle of God and believe it should be worshipped.' 

The rare condition is called Cyclopia, when the two hemispheres of the brain do not separate.

This leads to the formation of a single central cavity with one eye, or sometimes partially fused eyeballs. The eyelashes and eyelids are absent, as is any true nose.

But these animals do not survive for long.

Oshiomhole’s ex-aide donate N5m for Obaseki’s campaign

Former aide to former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, Mr. Andrew Momodu, has pledged the sum of N5 million to support the re-election of Governor Godwin Obaseki, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 19, 2020 governorship election in the state.

Momodu made the pledge on behalf of Anwain Progressives Union (APU), the umbrella Union of Anwain Clan, on Tuesday at the PDP Governorship Campaign in Ward 8, Anwain, Etsako West Local Government Area, where hundreds of APC leaders and members defected to the PDP.

He assured the governor that 6000 votes from the ward would be cast for the PDP in the forthcoming poll to appreciate the governor for attracting development to the area, particularly the ongoing Agbede-Anwain Road construction.

Momodu said: “the Anwain Progressives Union, the umbrella Union of Anwain Clan, has resolved to support Governor Obaseki with N5 million for his campaign. We have collected our PVCs and have all resolved to give the governor 100 per cent of our votes come September 19, 2020. We are sure of giving you 6,000 votes from this ward.”

Addressing the PDP members and supporters in Anwain and Idegun communities, Governor Obaseki promised to reciprocate the kindness shown him by prioritising healthcare, education and agriculture, among others in the second term of his administration if re-elected.

He recalled the sterling qualities of the famous Alhaji Jah Osman, who hailed from Anwain and assured that Agbede-Anwain Road construction work, which was suspended as a result of the disruptions caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, would be completed soon.

“Since I started this campaign, this is the only place where indigenes are donating money to support my campaign. I am very grateful,” he said.

Kanye West posts bizarre new tweet about Kris Jenner after calling her 'Kris Jong Un'

Rapper Kanye West has shared another bizarre tweet about his mother-in-law Kris Jenner.

The hip-hop legend, 43, is currently running for the office of President of the United States against President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.

However, his erratic tweets about the family of his wife Kim Kardashian have garnered much attention.

Kanye previously referred to his mother-in-law Kris as 'Kris Jong Un', in a reference to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, whilst also comparing his life to the seminal Jordan Peele horror film Get Out and accusing Kris of being a white supremacist.

Now Kanye has shared a much more seemingly positive tweet about his mother-in-law.

Kanye tweeted: "My mother in law Kris Jenner ... makes the best music playlist [smiling emoji]".

The comment prompted a mix of responses from fans but mostly ones of bewilderment that he appeared to now be much more friendly with his mother-in-law.

One replied to the tweet: "LMAOOO THE TABLES HAVE TURNED".

Another person commented: "Right they must be friends again. Wonder if the kids can come over now?"

Meanwhile, a third follower remarked: "It will probably take more than this to get into her good books after renaming her Kris Jong-Un. Maybe a private island in the Bahamas?"

Elsewhere, a different Twitter user joked: "Kris Jong Un now making fire playlists". 

Finally, one Kanye fan concluded: "You break my heart man. I hope you get away.... much love!"

Kanye previously apologised to his wife Kim for his comments on Twitter and at his campaign rally events in July.

Wikipedia ADDS Nigeria to list of failed states

Wikipedia has updated the list of failed states and Nigeria is now included as one of the countries on the list.

Some countries listed as a failed state by Wikipedia includes; Syria, Somalia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Iraq, Yemen, Turkey, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Rwanda, Liberia, Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Sudan, South Sudan.

Wikipedia describes a failed state as a political body that has disintegrated to a point where basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government no longer function properly.

Such state can also fail if the government loses its legitimacy even if it is performing its functions properly. For a stable state, it is necessary for the government to enjoy both effectiveness and legitimacy. Likewise, when a nation weakens and its standard of living declines, it introduces the possibility of total governmental collapse.
