PHOTOS: Tree Man ‘Grows Roots’ On His Body

Dede, now 35, baffled medical experts when warty “roots” began growing out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in a teenage accident. Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been unable to look after his two children Entang and Utis, who are now aged 16 and 18.They have been brought up apart from their farther by his extended family on the other side of their remote village south of the capital Jakarta. With Dede’s condition considered life threatening, he had resigned himself to missing out on the remaining joys of fatherhood.

 

 

But now a dermatology expert who flew out from the United States to examine his rare condition says that a course of synthetic Vitamin A should clear up most of the warts, and Dede is contemplating a transformed life.

“I can’t work, I can’t provide money,” Dede said. “I want to be able to take care of them [his children]. I hope to live long enough to see my grandchildren.”

After testing samples of the lesions and Dede’s blood, Dr Gaspari of the University of Maryland concluded that his affliction is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a fairly common infection that usually causes small warts to develop on sufferers.

We’ve Been Sèxless In Our Marriage For 3 Years & Now He’s Asking For A Divorce

Dear Bossip: We’ve Been Sexless In Our Marriage For 3 Years & Now He’s Asking For A Divorce - See more at: http://bossip.com/795623/dear-bossip-weve-been-sexless-in-our-marriage-for-3-years-now-hes-asking-for-a-divorce/#sthash.qbhBiBRm.dpuf

Dear readers and viewer of this blog,

I’m a 34-year old woman who has been married for three and a half years. My husband avoided sèx in every possible way since day one.

A couple of times we did manage to have sèx, but it was not a happy situation because, now in hindsight, I can see that he just didn’t insert it right. For the first few months he said it was my virgin pain that he couldn’t handle. Then, he said it was the stress at work, hence he was low on libido. Later, he developed a foreskin problem and had to go through a círcumcision, hence he said we would have to wait a while as he was having some sensation issue. Almost three years of marriage passed like that.

However, through this period he told people behind my back that ours was a sèxless marriage because I was frigid. Even though I knew he’d spoken about me I stayed on in the marriage because, apart from the sèx problem, we were really close as friends. So, when he apologized and broke down for speaking lies about me, I preferred to forget it.

Career-wise, he has always been unsteady. He attempted to start a new venture two years ago which crashed totally eight months back. Since that time he has been quite depressed and distant from me. He’s constantly on the computer gaming, or on the phone. Suddenly, in the past three months he’s made it clear that he wants to end the marriage. He gives all kinds of reasons from the two of us having no understanding to me being unsupportive.

 All of which none is true. sèxually, he says he’s now fine, but he is not attracted to me anymore for us to even initiate sèx. He says in the initial years of our marriage we couldn’t have sèx due to various circumstances, but now it’s too late to rekindle passion and interest.

He will never be honest with me how much I try asking. Many of his actions point out to him being gay. Before marriage we were together for two years, but never had íntercourse (we only helped each other másturbate). So, I couldn’t tell. He could hardly kiss well, even though he would try. But, my only reasoning was that his sèxual interest was less than mine, or probably I was very high on sèx. And, the homophobia thing also applies to him.

Anyway, over the past three months he is insisting on a divorce even though it doesn’t seem the most practical thing for him to do at this juncture. One more thing is that he has been very close to a new male friend, a professor, who is three years older than him, and he is unmarried. They’ve become unusually close over the past months and I’ve met the guy just once. When my husband speaks to me on the phone in front of him, he sounds very to the point and even abrupt.

While I have almost been certain that my husband is gay, (I believe he abstained from it, but succumbed finally after meeting this professor), I suddenly get stumped a month ago when I find out that my husband has also been speaking to a woman in another state every day for five to six hours for the past few months. He has given her hopes of a future. I managed to get someone to call her up and got all the details. She said my husband and her met on Facebook, and they speak every day. They’ve met twice when he went to her city. Both times were for a few days. However, they’ve not had sèx because, “he was not comfortable with the idea since he was still married,” she said.

Now I have a few questions:

1. If he is gay (because he’s not interested in sèx with women clearly), then  what’s         the  role of this woman in his life? Is she just a cover?

2. Does he feel for me at all? Did he ever feel for me?

3. Wouldn’t it have suited him to keep this marriage going?

4. I believe he wants to separate because he’s guilty. Or, probably because he wants the world to know that he ended the marriage so it doesn’t cast any aspersions on him?

What do you think? Please let me know. – sèxless In Marriage

SEE The Woman That Beat up Her boyfriend for bad Giving Her Bad sèx [PHOTO]

A woman claiming that her boyfriend gave her a bad sèxual experience is now behind bars, according to police reports.
The 24-year-old woman, was arrested for attacking her boyfriend after he was satisfied while she was not, she allegedly told police officers at her Florida home.
Raquel Gonzalez from Bradenton, Florida is living with her boyfriend, Esric Davis, 30, at the home for the past several years, according to press reports.
When he was done and she was not, Gonzalez allegedly began punching and scratching Davis around the nose and eyes. The report from the Manatee County Sheriff Office, obtained by news reporters, explains the details of the alleged attack in the residence of the couple shared in a quiet Florida street.
She was arrested yesterday afternoon and charged with felony domestic assault and remains in the Manatee County Jail. The angry lover told police officers at the scene that Davis was not the only one with scratches, telling them that Davis had restrained her in a desperate attempt to stop her during the attack.
She refused to say anything else after she was placed under arrest, the police report said, describing her as belligerent and uncooperative. The police report also said that alcohol may have been a factor in the alleged attack.

World's oldest living siblings alive 818 years and counting

A woman turned 105 this week and when adding up her age with all of her other siblings, the years amount to 818.

The Melis siblings, who live on the island of Sardinia, are officially the world's oldest, with nine brothers and sisters clocking up a total of 818 years between them, the Italian news media reported.

The older sibling, Consolata, is 105 and has nine children, 24 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren, according to the news media, adding that the longevity of the Melis siblings had been recognized as a Guinness World Record.

Consolata turned 105 on Wednesday, according to reports in the news media, adding that the certification of the Guinness World Record has been awarded after a worldwide review of seven years.

The town where the Melis siblings live is called Perdasdefogu, and is located in the southeast corner of the island, which has some of the oldest people in the world. The next oldest are Claudia 99, Mary 97, Antonio 93, Concetta 91, Adolfo 89, Vitalio 86, Vitalia 81 and Mafalda 78.

Claudia still attends church every week and Adolfo runs the local bar. Luca Deiana, professor of clinical biochemistry at the University of Sassari, Sardinia, who has studied some 2,500 centenarians on the island since 1996, said the longevity of the inhabitants of the island was due to several factors.

"On one hand it is genetics, longevity is inherited, but there is a bounty of the land and the local fruit, especially pears and plums," he told the news media. He said the local strong family traditions also contribute to a long life.

Man missing for 27 years found in bank chimney

A man missing for 27 years has finally been located, according to police reports.

The remains of Joseph Schexnider, lost for 27 years, were finally discovered lodged in a brick chimney in the Abbeville National Bank in Louisiana.

The bones were found when the bank was making renovations on the second floor, which had been long used for storage, to make more office space. The identity of the body was confirmed through DNA.

“This was absolutely the first chimney recovery we’ve had,” Mary Manhein, who is the head of FACES, the lab of Louisiana State University who identified Schexnider’s bones, told the press.

There were no dental records available so that the laboratory had to base results on DNA evidence after police obtained a reference sample from the Schexnider family, who lives in the area.

“I would say he died a few days maximum after he entered the chimney,” Manhein said. “But as for the way he died, or why he was in the chimney, is up for speculation,” Manhein said. “No one will ever know,” she added. Police found a pair of gloves in the chimney, but one can only speculate on its meaning.

PDP Suspends Former Governor Gbenga Daniel, 12 Others

Former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has been suspended the Peoples Democratic Party in Sagamu Local Government Area over his alleged romance with the Labour Party and Peoples Party of Nigeria in the state.

 

Also suspended for what it called “anti-party activities” were 12 other members of the party in the area – Idowu Osho,   Gbenga Sadiku,   Yetunde Majolagbe,  Mabawonju Shitta,  Ayantola Lawal,   Raufu Jinad, Oguntade Adeleke,   Gbenga Buhari, Yinka Sotunde,   Gbenga Sokoya, Zainab Lawal and Olu Osho.

The suspension order was announced by chairman of the PDP in Ogun East Senatorial District, Chief Doyin Fakoya, in Isara, Remo North Local Government Area, shortly after a meeting of party members in the area.

Fakoya remarked that the party in the former governor’s Ward 12 placed the suspension on Mr. Daniel in order to restore discipline to the party.

“As of today (Thursday), I am the chairman of the PDP in Ogun East Senatorial District. I have got a copy of the letter that Otunba Daniel has been suspended. He was suspended by ward 12 Sagamu constituency 2,” he said.

Flanked by the party’s  chairmen  in Sagamu, Ikenne  and Remo-North LGAs,   Fakoya said  a disciplinary committee set up to look into the allegations  against Daniel  and the 12  others found them guilty.

He said, “Otunba Daniel was the one that brought the Peoples Party of Nigeria   to Ogun State; he is financing Labour Party at the moment. You cannot be in two parties at the same time; you cannot be in PPN, PDP  and LP at the same time.

“Otunba Daniel is like any other citizen that jumps into any political party; he was fortunate that he governed Ogun State for eight years. Is that the reason for him to be in three political parties at the same time?

“Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the national chairman of our party, the PDP, said we should put discipline back into the party and his (Daniel) ward said it has suspended him from the party. So be it, he is not God; he has been suspended by ward 12 Sagamu constituency 2. I have got the copy of the letter, I have sent a copy of the letter to the state secretariat of the PDP and I have sent one to the press.”

How This Woman Was Beaten And Thrown Off Plane For Not Switching Off Her Phone

A hysterical passenger was dragged off a North Carolina-bound U.S. Airways flight on Sunday after she ignored orders to put her cellphone away and cursed at TSA agents.

Lindsay Capri Bien-Aime, 21, unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade on agents and attendants in front of her toddler son after they tried to escort her off the plane at Fort Lauderdale airport, WCNC reported.

A passenger a few rows in front of Bien-Aime recorded the incident on her cellphone.

Video posted to YouTube and LiveLeak shows the agents warning Bien-Aime she’ll go to jail unless she gets off the plane, but Bien-Aime refuses.

Lindsay Capri Bien-Aime was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer.

Eventually, the officers get physical and handcuff her.

One local station reported that she bit one of the deputies.

 

The Charlotte-bound U.S. Airways flight was delayed for 45 minutes.

Bien-Aime was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Tales Of Prostítution, Drugs From Kuramo Village

Kuramo village fell to ocean fury and the rage of the Lagos State government last week. But tales of prostítution and drug peddling which defined its exixtence have come to the fore, as insiders recount, reports SAMUEL AWOYINFA

Kuramo Beach, to its residents, is escapism of some sorts. Besides its regular occupants, prostítutes and drug peddlers see the place as haven for their operations. It was like an island on its own.

For those who wanted to ‘feel high’ on illicit drug, Kuramo also gave them that illusion of being on top of their world. Kuramo offered unending music, blaring from speakers of numerous drinking joints that lined the ocean front.

But the music stopped early hours of Saturday, August 18, around 3:00am, when ocean surge, entombed a large section of the shanties and cabins. It was not only the shanties and cabins that fell casualties, about 16 persons were also swept away by the ocean rage.

By Sunday, the picture became clearer, as government agents moved in, and demolished the remaining shanties. As a result, the residents have scattered. But some of them still wished it were a bad dream that would soon go away. They were seen on Wednesday still hanging around the Kuramo Beach extension.

Some of them lived there for over 10 years, and for those in this category, it is difficult, having another place to call a home. One of them, who pleaded anonymity, said Kuramo though offered them a shelter; it also played host to a lot other negative indulgences.

According to him, over 50 per cent of the inhabitants were prostítutes and they were the main attraction, given the number of men who trooped in, mostly at night.

He said, “The prostítutes are the main attraction in Kuramo village. They were there in all shapes and sizes. From 8:00pm, men would start arriving. Some after gulping some bottles of alcoholic drink, would face the commercial s*x workers.

“Besides prostítution, drug also came handy here. Whatever it was you wanted. Is it marijuana or crack (cocaine)? They were available. A pinch sold for N250, a wrapper of marijuana is N50. Again, there was another form of marijuana, which a wrap sold for N200. That one was the concentrated type.

“And for those who wanted to enhance their s*xual performance, there were those who sold the local aphrodisiac called Bura ntasi.”

This source who spoke fluent English, said the prostítutes who lived inside the cabins, where they paid between N800 -N1000 daily, depending on the size of the room, were however, conscious of being infected with HIV/AIDS, as they insisted their clients must put on condoms. But he however, added that they had perfected some tricks, in which they swindled some unsuspecting clients.

The source said,“These prostítutes had agents, and the agents normally lurked around. As soon as any man entered the room with any of them, he would be asked to hang his trousers by the window. As soon as the client got carried away by the s*xual ecstasy, the agent stealthily picked the trousers from outside, and emptied the money and valuables therein.

“Many patrons of prostítutes here had lost their valuables in that manner”. According to him, the prostítutes charged between N500 -N1000, and all depending on negotiation skills of the client.

“Kuramo ran on 24 hours basis, it hadly went to sleep.”

One of the former inhabitants, Mr. Samuel Adebayo could not be bothered about s*x hawkers and their antics.

 

His concern was where he would start his tailoring business again. Having lived in Kuramo for over 10 years, and being thrown out under three hours, had left him puzzled for now. He was among those seen at the Bar Beach sea front, about 100 metres from Kuramo, on Wednesday.

He denounced the claim of the Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure that they were given four days notice.

“I had lived in Kuramo Beach for over 10 years, it was not true that there was any notice. It was on Sunday (August 19) morning that the DPO of Bar Beach police station led his men to this place and told everyone to come out.

“We were given only two hours to pack our belongings. How many things could one pack in two hours? So, some of us only took a fraction of what we have, before the caterpillar moved in,” he said.

He recollected that there were about 110 cabins, and they paid for everything there. “There was no water, no toilets and no bathrooms. We bought water at the rate of N50 per bucket. To bath, one would pay N100, and to use the toilet, it attracted N100.”

On his own part, Mr. Laja Obasi, who said he was a security man at Kuramo, also said he lived there for almost 11 years, and he was almost regretting it.

Obasi who explained that he earned N3,000 per week, stressed that his fear was how to get another job.

Himself and his colleagues were for now, living at the mercy of friends and passers-by. He moaned, “I’m still fit to work as security man, but who can employ me?” He suffers a limp in one of his legs.”

Another former resident, who simply preferred to be addressed as Prince, said he was a tourism promoter at the beach front, and all that had gone with the wind. Dressed in a jeans trousers and ash-coloured sweater, he said he was in the business of making those who visited the beach comfortable, providing them good drinks and accommodation.

As at Wednesday, Prince was still in a quandary about the way forward. “I really want to retrace my steps by going back to God in a seven-day prayer and fasting,” he began. “After that, I will now decide what next to do. I have two options -either to raise money for my young wife to start business, because I had been the one shouldering the family’s burden or buy a car which I will be using to do kabukabu.”

The commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure, Mr. Olusegun Oniru, who visited the site on Monday reiterated that a four-day warning was given to traders and residents. He said, “It is not that we waited for this disaster to happen before we started acting. We gave them a four-day warning of the looming ocean surge and high waves but they wouldn’t listen. It is rather unfortunate that they waited for nature to force them out.”

Oniru added that the state government was faced with an Herculean task, because some of the residents, had no place to go. Some have constructed some shanties, directly in waterfront at the Bar Beach, and inside and outside where they kept their wares and personal effects.

Besides, some traders who were equally dislodged displayed their wares inside their buses and cars.

While most of the residents and traders ruled out compensation of any kind, some of them were still bogged down by uncertainty of their future.

Confession: My Husband Brought A Lady Into Our Matrimonial Béd And Gave Me HIV!

My husband has finally shattered my heart and I weep as I write.

We had issues with finances and I tried to contribute the little amount I borrowed from friends. But, we still couldn’t make ends meet. Last two months, he came back home with a lady. He called me in the evening and he told me to just keep quiet when he comes back from work.

So, he just came back home with this fair, slim lady. And they slépt together in our matrimonial béd. If anyone told me I would experience this in my life, I would never believe it. I slépt in the children’s room. All through the night, I couldn’t sleep as I wondered what they were doing….on our matrimonial béd. I cried all night.

In the morning, he introduced me to the lady as his sister and the kids as mine. I felt dumbfounded, I never felt so disappointed in my life. He came back earlier from work and apologised to me, he said the lady works with the government and she was going to help him win a contract. He said the lady asked him to sleep with her, and that would be all. He said he did all that just to make our children and I live comfortably. Then he gave me 85,000 naira, he asked me to buy all we needed.

I cried and sobbéd, but I had no one to run to for help. I accepted fate. For the whole week, he came back with this lady and they slépt in our matrimonial béd…. Such a shameful act! After that week ended, she stopped coming. My husband said I could now return to our béd. He made love to me, I cried all through because of the evil he did, because of the way he broke my heart. He begged me and told me he would never do such again.

Last month, I started falling sick, I went to the hospital and I was diagnosed of HIV. I felt dumb! I knew this was the handiwork of my selfish husband. He also went to the hospital too and he was also diagnosed of same. The worst thing is he is now blaming me for not stopping him from doing such wicked acts.

I would never forget what he did to me. We are still living together, but I hate him so much. I wish I never got married to him!

Most of us are happy to try a spot of DIY but there aren't many who would take on the challenge of building their own aircraft.

These unusual looking planes are the creations of amateur engineers in Africa who have made their own jets - often just using scarp metal, a book guide and a lot of improvisation.

Despite their lack of material, training and money, these determined aviation-enthusiasts have managed to build their own machines.

 

 

Creative: Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi, a 24-year-old physics undergraduate in northern Nigeria, used old cars and motorbikes to build his own helicopter in his back garden 

 

Gabriel Nderitu's aircraft, which he built in his front yard in Kenya, is powered by an engine which was once used to mill animal feed.

He sourced aluminum bars, bolts and plastic sheeting to make the frame - sticking it all together with some gum. 

 

While Somaliland trio Mohamed Abdi Barkadle, Saed Abdi Jide and Abdi Farah Lidan, built a helicopter from an old van engine and scrap metal with no financial support in 2010.

They'd hoped to use the plane to fight fires but it is unclear whether their machine ever made it off the ground.

Farmhand Onesmus Mwangi managed to build a 25-kilogramme helicopter from scrap material he salvaged from around his village in Magomano.
According to the BBC, the 20-year-old dropped out of school at the age of 12 and has no training in aviation. 

 

 

Starting out: Aminu Abubakar can be seen welding the skeleton of a his helicopter out of scrap metal in 2007

 

Opportunities: The homemade plane, which Abdullahi completed in 2007, earned him a scholarship to study aircraft maintenance in the UK 

 

But, incredibly, Mwangi has managed to build a plane in just seven months, working around his full-time farming job.

It is not known whether it can actually fly - but Mwangi says he has managed to get it a full feet off the ground.

Mwangi said: 'I built the helicopter to showcase my talent, hoping that people would invest in me and give me an opportunity to build bigger and better things'.
But shortly after Mwangi unveiled his helicopter earlier this year, his employer fired him claiming the media attention was interfering with his work while police have banned him from flying it, claiming it is a security risk. 

Emeka Okafor, curator of Maker Faire Africa - an annual pan-African event that showcases ingenuity and innovation, says aeronautical innovators in the developing world have fewer resources to bring their creations to life but just as much potential.  

 

 

Innovation: It may look like a car, but Abdullahi, pictured sitting in the front seat, used old car parts to make his own helicopter

 

 

Back to basics: Kenyan Gabriel Nderitu built this plane out of aluminum bars, bolts and plastic sheeting he salvaged before sticking it all together

 

He said: 'In any society, there’s always a subset of individuals with an interest in tinkering, fabricating, mimicking, inventing.

 

'At the very fundamental level, what drives them is curiosity. On top of that, it’s problem solving, or addressing gaps they see in society.'

But there are a few success stories -  24-year-old physics student Nigerian Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi being one of them.

He spent nearly a year building a 12-metre (39ft) long helicopter out of spare parts sourced from old cars, motorcycles, and even a crashed Boeing 747. He used money he saved from repairing cell phones and computers. 
His bright yellow contraption with a salvaged Honda Civic engine was completed in 2007 and could actually reach heights of seven ft. His invention helped secure him a scholarship to study aircraft maintenance in the UK.

 

Growing number of inventors: Nderitu used an engine which once milled animal feed to power his aircraft

Pushing the boundaries: The curator of Maker Faire Africa, Emeka Okafor, says Africa has just as much aeronautical talent but lacks the resources to support it

Akon Caught Looking At Actress Omotola’s Boóbs

I bet this guy [looks like Akon, is that him?] wont have anything to look at if Omotola had dressed properly, at least wear something that will cover her oranges properly.

 

Please ladies, men are moved by what they see. It is in them to ‘lust’ atimes, but you can help by first dress in a way that would make you more decent and the men will be the gentle men they should.

Séx Contest: Competitors Take The Stage And Perform Sex Acts In Front Of Crowd [PHOTOS]

The scorching heat wasn’t the only thing making New Yorkers sweat this weekend.

At the 4th annual Air Séx Championships, held at Manhattan's Cutting Room, the finest dry humpérs and imaginary orál séx aficionádos took center stage.

There was not a dry seat in the house.

Hosted by comedian Chris Trew, the competition brought together a myriád of performers and the rules were simple: There must always be an imaginary partner on stage and all orgásms must be simulated.

What started out as a one-time parody of an Air Guitar competition in Austin, Texas, four years ago has grown into a 14-city tour that culminátes in a final world competition in December.

Men and women separately took the stage to perform their best solo séx acts for a crowded house of dróoling onloókers, while a trió of female judges critiqued the show based on comedic appeal, séxual performance range and séxual energy.

Though this year had a noticeably smaller turn out, Trew says it brought some of the best performances he's ever seen.

 

The winner was returning champ, Jam Out With My Clam Out, who donnéd a géisha-inspired floor length robé, granny glasses, a head full of hair curlérs and stráp on rubber bréasts for a finishing touch.

For her performance, Jam Out acted out a scene in which her (imaginary) husband died and she used her séxual prowéss to try and révive him through his pénis sans her teeth.

“I was not surprised Jam Out With My Clam Out won again, she knows how to win and she really wants to win. She’s easily one of the ten best [air séxers] in the country. She made a very big step tonight, she showed range,” host Chris Trew told the Huffington Post just after the show.

“She’s just very good, she had the crowd with her the entire time, she did something I’ve never seen before. When she took her teeth out, then her husband who died and she kept jérking him off, it was so good."

The keys to the competition’s séx-cess are its accessibility and comedic appeal, Tréw says.

“I love that it feels like a sport and it’s still a comedy show. People see the show and think it’s a dirty show and that it’s taboo. But no, this is so accessible. Anyone can do it. It’s so crazy and it’s very addicting.”

Some Nigerian Ladies find pleasure in wearing trousers without pants

Almost gone are the days when a lady wears a pant before she pulls on her outer garment. The trend these days is for ladies to wear their clothes, particularly trousers and shorts, without pants underneath.

Everyone who looks, is confronted with the rather ugly sights of bare buttocks-be it on the road, in a bus or on a bike.

Hitherto, the norm was that women dress in modest and decent clothing that leave much to the imagination of the male folk. This is not the case these days as ladies dress in suggestive manners leaving little or nothing to the imagination of on-lookers.

On why most girls choose to go “pantless,” Elizabeth Brown, a 300 level student of the University of Lagos has this to say: “Going without pants makes one feel more free and prevents ‘frabs’ (a slang for the inconvenience caused when pants keep folding into the buttocks cleavage)”.

Mma, a fresh graduate of Abia state University while admitting she wears her trousers without pants a times, said she does it only when her pants are not readily available but that she doesn’t feel comfortable without them.

“Convenience” is another reason or excuse by some ladies. A female student who pledged anonymity said: “It is more convenient and time-saving for me as I wouldn’t have to go through the stress of wearing pants before trousers.”

Adding that “going without pants allows for free passage of air into the private parts.”

This trend underscores the influence of some music videos on some of these ladies as there are a lot of “Beyonce; or “Nicki Minaj Wannabes” a euphemism for imitating foreign artists. What most of these girls do not know is that, outside the video scenes, most of these artists do not strut the streets with their bare buttocks. And, even if they do, according to Maureen Onwuzo, a young mother of four, ‘we Africans have values and decency.
