PROFESSOR STRIPS NAKED IN CALCULUS CLASS

Michigan State University students had an unconventional math class
last week Monday after a 57 year old Mathematics professor, John
McCarthy reportedly stripped naked in Calculus 1 class and began
screaming that "there is no f****ing God" and "It's all an act and
none of it's real."

In the age of laptop computers, the most surprising thing is that the
students noticed and looked up from their computers. Presumably one
student asked the standard question of "will this be on the test?"

Witnesses said that McCarthy was going through a routine derivative
equation when he started to talk about his colleagues and how "they're
all actors." He added that "It's all an act and none of it's real."

According to a freshman, Kyle Hillman who was in the Calculus class,
the professor had earlier ranted some words; "Math is all about
questions and answers. And Steve Jobs invented the computer, but what
do computers do? They ask questions and we answer them."

Hillman said after the professor finished swearing about God and
religion, he pulled a $1 bill from his wallet, waved it a few times,
then ran out of the class.

"I had to leave the class. It was pretty terrifying."

McCarthy ranted naked down the hall of the school's Engineering
Building according to multiple witness account.

Hillman recalled McCarthy has been a little off since the beginning of
the class.

"Earlier in the class on Monday, he made a mistake and said, 'I'm
sorry. I say sorry a lot. People say I say sorry too much. I should
probably stop saying it'".

Campus police placed McCarthy in protective custody and later
transported him to a local hospital.

John McCarthy holds a bachelor's, two master's, and doctoral degree in
Mathematics.

Brilliance is sometimes accompanied with mental issues; McCarthy
obviously had a psychological meltdown. He was arrested but not
charged with a crime. He could certainly be charged with indecent
exposure but hopefully the police would show discretion and let him
be.

As difficult as it would be for McCarthy to go back to the classroom,
the faculty would really help and support him by treating his strip as
a case of mental illness, allow him seek help, but not fire him. I
would also hope that the faculty treats this matter as a mental
illness and allows McCarthy to seek treatment rather than simply fire
him.

Meanwhile, the school has not released any statement on how the matter
would be treated, but sources say some members of the management
believes the matter should be treated as a misconduct. In the
meantime, the school has merely reassigned his classes and would take
no further action just yet. Lol ooooooooooooo

Latest : Woman Weighs 308 Pounds And Becomes Beauty Queen

A 23-year-old woman tipping the scales at 308 pounds has won the
plus-size beauty pageant Mrs. Utah Plus America 2012,

"I used to watch the Miss America pageant as a child and wished I
could be one of those girls," said the beauty queen, Victoria
Christensen. "I had decided that I was never going to be skinny enough
or pretty enough to do that, so year after year, I would watch them
and continue to wish."

Victoria said she long suffered taunts from classmates calling her
horrible names about her weight.

"At school, people commonly called me fat and "Fatty" -- the worst was
"Garbage Disposal" because people thought I ate too much," she
recalled. "But I dont remember anything more than that because Ive
tried to let them go and remove any negative forces in my life."

Victoria said she first became aware of the plus-size beauty
competition while watching an interview on Facebook with last year's
winner, giving her the idea to enter this year's contest.

She recalled, "My first thought was 'Wait a minute: Plus?!?' I
realized I had a chance to be one of the girls I thought I would never
be skinny enough or pretty enough to be."

moving forward. She said the competition changed her life and helped
her see "what a woman should be.

"It has turned me from a girl into a woman and given me the strength
to accept myself and shine," Victoria said, adding she plans to enter
more pageants in the future.

YINKA AYEFELE'S N200M HOME IN OYO STATE TO BE DEMOLISH

The sensational singer, Yinka Ayefele got a rude shocker yesterday
morning when he learnt that his N200m building will be pulled down by
the Oyo State Government.
According to his publicist, Ayefele was not given any prior notice
about the demolition and he was shocked to hear about it this
yesterday morning.

The ibadan based singer, Ayefele went ahead to church and later went
to perform at an event as if nothing happened but many people have
continued to criticize Gov Ajimobi for his demolition policies.

His publicist writes, "This N200million edifice has in its belly, two
magnificent halls, an internet radio station, a standard studio and
several offices. It also provides job for about 100 people and that
places it among top employers of labor in Oyo State. This is Yinka
Ayefele Music House that has being marked for demolition by Oyo State
government.

From the government quarters, "The government wants to expand the road
to an 8-lane road being proposed by the state government. The road and
the house will be affected and there is nothing anybody can do about
it."

INI EDO'S MARRIAGE? ALLEGEDLY THREATENS HUBBY, PHILIPS EHIAGWINA TO WALK OUT MARRIAGE IF FED UP WITH HER?

If what gossip mongers are revealing to Nigeriafilms.com is anything
to go by, then all may not be too well in the marriage of reportedly
pregnant Nollywood actress, Ini Edo and her husband of four years,
Philip Ehiagwina.

What an olofofo, who claimed to be close to Ini Edo divulged to
Nigeriafilms.com seems very disturbing. It has always been believed
that US-based Philip is allegedly being on the bills of Ini Edo. Some
gossip merchants swore that he (Philip) depends on the sultry actress
to survive.

The latest that we are hearing about the couple, who attended a
fashion show in the US together recently, is that there is an alleged
crack in their four years old marriage.

According to a bird in the know, Philip allegedly called the attention
of his wife that his people (family members) are complaining about
news they hear about her. As the tale bearer told us, Ini reportedly
replied her handsome hubby to leave her alone and let her be.

You think she stopped there? The amebor said Ini Edo then reportedly
told Philip to walk out of the marriage if he is tired of her and the
news his people are hearing about her. We also learnt from another
tale bearer that Philip reportedly called some of Ini's friends to
inform them of what his wife told him. The olofofo then said that
their marriage is just like a time bomb now waiting to explode.

Though there were others things we were told about the marriage, but
those are matters of another day. We hope this gist is not true
because we do not subscribe to marriage break-up in Nollywood. We have
had enough marriage break-ups in the motion pictures industry in
Nigeria.

SAD : SEVEN OF THE FAMILY OF NINE WHO DIED FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING BURIED AT THE WEEKEND

Seven of the family of nine who died after burying their mother at
Emekuku, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State, was buried
in one long grave over the weekend.

His Grace, Dr. Anthony J.V. Obinna, Catholic Archbishop of Owerri
Ecclesiastical Province while speaking during a mass organized for the
deceased ones described the burial of seven people from the same
family as horrible.

The Catholic Archbishop said; "Though the gathering is a sad one, it
is out of love for the deceased persons and for the relatives that we
are here. We must remind ourselves of the reality of death."

He said the false rumour that trailed the death of the Emekuku Nine
showed unnecessary fear of death and lack of faith.

"Christians must be wise, as well as realize that some opportunistic
persons in society cash in on moments of temptation and tension to get
what they want.

"There are lots of 419 spiritual people, who use the opportunity of
poor faith to do business, thus creating problems in families," Obinna
said.

Reports say the autopsy report released by the State Commissioner of
Health, Dr. Joe Obi-Njoku, had confirmed that the nine persons died
from suffocation after inhaling carbon monoxide from a generating set.

The state government has therefore issued clear directives on the use
of electric generating sets, pointing out that families should build
generator houses away from living rooms to avoid a repeat of the ugly
incident.

Nigerians reacting to the issue have blamed it on government for the
government's inability to provide steady power supply.

"There have been too many deaths as a result of inhalation of Carbon
monoxide and the government is advising us to build generator houses
far from our house? Why can't they ensure adequate power supply so
that we don't have to use generators?" Mr Badmus said.

The family of nine were discovered dead on Sunday July 8, 2012 in
Umuakuru village in Emekuku, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo
State after they had buried their 98-year-old mother, Mrs Felicia
Njoku on Saturday, July 7 in their country home.

The deceased include Mr. Pascal Njoku, his wife Juliana and their five
children, Ebere (first daughter), Ifunanya (second daughter), Chibueze
(son) Jackline (third daughter) and Uchechi (last daughter).

Others, who also died along with the Njokus, were Mr. Njoku's sister,
Christina Uba (nee Njoku) and her friend Catherine who accompanied her
to the burial.

Nick Cannon Dishes on Mariah Carey-Nicki Minaj Beef: "I Wasn't Concerned for My Wife's Safety"

As the saying goes, safety first. And since Nick Cannon was the host
of the Safe Communications 1st Annual Family Day in Santa Monica
Saturday, we couldn't help but to ask if he was concerned about the
safety of his wife Mariah Carey in the midst of her beef with fellow
American Idol judge Nicki Minaj.

"I wasn't concerned," Cannon told E! News. "That's exactly what you
called it was drama. With drama, it's theatrics. I'm not worried about
that stuff."

When asked if there was a gun threat involved in the recorded spat,
Cannon went on to say with a laugh, "I don't know. I wasn't there. It
made for good news. It sounded good, right? Good job Fox.

" Meanwhile, Carey has beefed up her security team following her
altercation with the "Starships" rapper. Just to be on the safe side.

‘Stop singing’ fans tell Tonto Dike

Nigerian actress Tonto Dike got an unexpected shock on Tuesday,
October 2,2012, after her plan to release one of her singles soon was
met by insults and disdain on twitter.

The conversation soon turned into a heated argument, which became a
trending topic on the social network.

The drama began after Dike made her announcement in what was
considered by some as an 'arrogant manner': 'Gettin HI on ma own
SONG***Loverz I cnt wait2

SHARE HI n ITZ OVA wit YA*#POKO#

', she wrote. A few people responded jokingly, advising her to be
careful, citing examples of actors such as Ramsey Nouah, Genevieve
Nnaji, Jim Iyke and a few others who have tried but failed in music.

Dike rose in favour of the concerned actors, adding that her case
would be different: 'All ya wabbling abt Actorz gettin

In2 MUZIK,Itz bezt u Shut d FUCKUP n wait 4wat we gat**Az 4 POKO ya'll
MUx dance 2 HI n ITZ OVA*I said MUX*' she tweeted.

Perceiving the response as a display of pride, several Twitter fans
tried to call her to order, which infuriated her even more; 'Una
really no understand. Itz a fuckin MUX 2lizten 2ma MUZIK. Like I ainnt
gonno BEG 4DAT BUT UR CHILDREN'Z CHILDREN will GAM MII**NO braggin,

Jux d truth n I've gat d braggin RITE thou*#POKO#. Heheh*4 doze who
wana fucktalk n doze who wana kizz azz n doze who tell d truth.'

Degenerating even further, several people unleashed several insults on
her, and the usually twitter-friendly Dike turned into a monster,
responding in like manner, swearing and cursing at them.

Zala Andolini pointed out Tonto's grammatical errors, saying: 'You
say you have a college degree, FFS spell/type like a goddamn educated
person' to which Tonto responded: 'Hehehhehheheheh bitch I dnt ve a
degree but I do ve a bank acct fat n shapelezz enough 2mk ur parent
assasin U**U unstaaannnn'.

Others, like Olawumi Jones, who thought her proud for flaunting her
wealth, said '@tontolet is jst a sick bitch nuffin more, calg sum1
poor we all knw who made u av little change in ur acct, thnx to that
old mama thou.' 'Lil change??*May God purify Ur mouth' Dike responded.
Meanwhile,

yet another 'fan' Abdul-Rafiu, who reminded her of her single with
Kas, 'Don't even talk, your single with @kas was awful', got this from
@tontolet: 'Well stil shut d fuckup n
wait 4 ma muzik**Dnt b so dumb not2 knw dat waz a teaser*Ooo well u re
SILLY DUMB*' in response, while a piece of advice from tweeter Mrs O,
saying 'Omg !

Write well' got her in Dike's bad books, as she aptly responded, 'U
really silly**Tell ur MOTHER dAT*DOGAZZ*'

The session lasted for hours, as Dike continued like a wounded
scorpion, stinging those who crossed her path, until finally, she
tweeted, 'I've decided 2stick wit LOVE***HATE'Z 2much a burden
2BEAR*-MJK jnr #POKO#. Now d HATERZ re PAINED*I sure did a
Marvellouz JOB,NYC*By d way SORRY2 all ma LOVERZ,Cant promize nothin
BUT GOD'z WORKIN on ma TEMPA*#POKO#' and ended it with 'Lazt laugh n
I'm off 2sleep*buahahhahahh'

Despite the contempt from some quarters, many of her followers showed
their support, urging her to continue with her passion. Among them was
Italian based Nigerian artiste, Vic O, who told her: 'pretty do
what'll pls ur heart, don't mind them. Pretty i swear luv ya swags,
keep it rolling I got ur back.'

Another fan, describing her as one of the few not afraid to leave
their comfort zone, said he was anticipating the release of her songs,
while yet another tweeted, 'Keep doin wot u're doin whether dem lyk am
or not u're made.'

In Nov 2011, the actress featured on a song, Iyawo wind, produced by
singer-producer, Kas, which was met with a lot of skepticism.

Dike, 27, was born in Rivers State and made her debut into movies in
2005, after participating in the reality TV show, Next Movie Star.

Latest : Uti Nwachukwu denies homosexual tales

Uti won the 2010 edition of the Big Brother Africa reality show, and
has since dabbled into different trades, including
music, modeling, acting and presenting. Ekubo, on the other hand, hit
the spotlight after coming second place in the 2011
edition of the Mr Nigeria pageant.

Since shooting into limelight three years ago, actor-TV host, Uti
Nwachukwu has managed to stay mostly scandal-free, but recently, this
has changed, as tales about his sexuality are being peddled by soft
sell magazines and blogs.

Uti's friendship with model Alex Ekubo has come under scrutiny, with
some saying their relationship is the reason they're still bachelors.

The 30-year-old has denied being gay, describing the allegations as
hurtful and character damaging. He did this via his twitter page,
saying he's ready to take drastic steps if the rumour mongers don't
stop.

'I'm going to say this just once. All false gossip mongers bout my
sexuality are hereby warned! A scape goat will be
chosen very soon. No threat.' He also vented on facebook, saying 'Who
God has blessed/elevated, no man can curse/bring down.

Once there is a wonderful news about me, the devil's agent try to
interrupt but they always fail cause they use lies. Congrats to the
false rumour mongers. I'll say it once. Be warned. Very Very soon, a
scape goat shall be found.

I pray none of my current or former friends are involved
cause the wrath of the Almighty Jehovah Lord God of Israel will spare
no one. The Egyptian plague shall be child's play
compared to what is coming! They shall know I serve a living God. Same
God that has crowned me, Baba God nooni. To you be all the glory
honour worship adoration and praise forever more! Amen.. I love you
UFC. Remain blessed.'

Source gathered that his outbursts may have been triggered by a post
written by a blogger, Ernest Okezie, of elanmagazines.blogspot.com,
who said he'd had a relationship with Uti. According to him, a lady
who once visited Uti at his residence to try and seduce him, was
rejected, and reportedly caught Uti and Alex in the act. He called
Ekubo Uti's 'wife,' saying that was the reason neither
are romantically linked with any women.

With this development, Uti joins the likes of Denrele Edun, Charly
Boy, Rukky Sanda and Tonto Dike, all of whom, at
different times, have had to battle rumours swirling about their sexuality.
