Harrison Chinedu, a footballer, cycled a total of 103.6 kilometers across Lagos without dropping the ball.
"Chinedu may have broken the Guinness World Record for the farthest distance traveled with a football on the head. If successful, he will not only break an existing record, he would also have created a new one. It will take around 90 days for the Guinness World Record body to verify and confirm the results." CNN reports
He said he then read about the Guinness World Record and set out to do something extraordinary.
“I did it because I wish to share my God-given talent to the world and to encourage the young ones to do something that has never been done before,” he said in a phone interview from his home in Lagos.
According to Chinedu, the most challenging part of his trip was cycling on the Eko bridge, one of the three bridges connecting the Lagos mainland and Lagos Island. It sits over the Lagos lagoon and is 3.43 kilometers long.
Chinedu said with the help of policemen and Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officers he was able to navigate through heavy traffic, bumps and potholes on the road.
Chinedu, played his professional football in Cambodia, told CNN he discovered the skill during his 10-year professional football career.

A Polytechnic student has been arrested after she cat walked at a pageant without wearing panties. According to reports, the incident took place in Zimbabwe.
The model identified as Panashe was thrown behind bars together with another student who went on to circulate the inappropriately exposed photos.
The college Principal Tafadzwa Mudondo was also picked up by the police from the licensing Inspectorate Department together with nine other models and the pageant organising crew. This followed the publication of the story by H-Metro.
Others are likely to be charged for contravening certain sections of the Censorship and Entertainment Controls Act.
The principal said the incident reportedly happened in July and they had not been aware of the said photos. He said it was a students function and they had nothing to do it with it.
Mudondo said they have not taken any action and they are still in the process of investigating the matter and haven’t taken any action. It is a process.
The photographers of the event were also picked for questioning together with their cameras and external hard drives which carried the photos of the event. Sources told H-Metro that it was Panashe’s decision to take to the ramp without her knickers and that she left many surprised by exposing her privates to the gathering.
Other models distanced themselves from the knickers removing exercise. The photographers reportedly had the photos but they went on to delete them.
However it emerged that when they had deleted them two of the students had already accessed the photos and went on to circulate them in and around the college. The organisers are also said to have not told the principal of the incident.

The minimum age of criminal has been lowered from 15years to 9years
Children as young as nine could be jailed in the Philippines for certain crimes under a proposed law backed by the president, speaking concern Monday from the United Nations and rights groups.
Philippines President;President Rodrigo Duterte’s allies have been pushing to pass laws by December that would restore the death penalty and lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 9.
Duterte won May elections largely because of a vow to kill tens of thousands of drug dealers, also promising on the campaign trail to close a loophole in the juvenile justice system that he said allowed traffickers to use minors as narcotic couriers.
“Adult criminals knowingly and purposely make use of youth below 15 years of age to commit crimes, such as drug trafficking,” Pantaleon Alvarez, one of the proposed law’s main backers, said in an explanatory note.
While Duterte wanted the age threshold dropped to 12, his allies went one step further by calling for it to be lowered to nine. The UN children’s agency UNICEF reminded the Philippines of its international obligations.
Manila is a state party to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which says criminal responsibility below the age of 12 is not acceptable.
“Jail is no place for a child. It is alarming for children to be institutionalised (sent to a penal institution),” UNICEF said in a position paper sent to AFP Monday. “It will be retrogression on the part of the Philippine Government.”

Pandemonium ensued on Thursday in the Oke Kura Prison, Ilorin, Kwara State, after six inmates were reportedly beaten to death by warders.
Saturday we exclusively gathered from a top prison source that 11 other inmates were seriously injured during the fracas which occurred around 2pm.
It was learnt that the inmates, who were in the condemned inmates’ cell, had protested the substandard quality of food they were served.
They reportedly demanded to see the controller of the prison to address their grievances.
The source said the prison authorities shunned the inmates and refused to heed their call.
He said, “The demand for improvement in food quality and quantity had been on for the past two months, but nothing was done.
“On Thursday, the inmates decided to protest. That was how the warders went and got the arms squad. They entered into the prison and unleashed terror on the inmates, who were in the condemned cell.
“Five of them died there and one of the 12 casualties died at the hospital. The incident has caused tension in the prison as I speak with you.”
It was learnt that the 11 other casualties were on “danger list” at the hospital where they were receiving treatment.
Our source identified the deceased to include one Alhaji Fasisi, Alhaji Yusuf, and Jeunlo.
“There is a grand plan to cover up the incident in the prison,” he added.
The spokesperson for the Nigeria Prison Service, Francis Enobore, could not be reached on his phone.
He had yet to respond to a text message sent to his line as of the time of filing this report.
However, the Public Relations Officer of the Ilorin Prison who identified himself simply as Philip, denied the incident.
He said, “How is it possible for warders to beat inmates to death? It is not true and no such thing happened. If you’re in doubt, come down to Ilorin, I will personally lead you to Oke Kura to see things for yourself.”

The Senate on Tuesday urged the Federal Government to declare a “security emergency” in Southern Kaduna.
The call followed a motion by Senator Danjuma La’ah (PDP, Kaduna), who told the Senate at plenary that since 2011 many communities in the senatorial district had been consistently attacked by herdsmen.
He said that such attacks had resulted in deaths, loss of property and displacement of indigenes of the communities.
“We are aware that there has been regular attack by armed herdsmen, the latest being on the 15th and 16th of October, 2016 in Godogodo community in Jama’a Local Government Area.
“Subsequent to the attacks, these herdsmen have virtually occupied the displaced communities and are grazing their cattle freely,” he said.
Contributing, Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna) said the motion was an ample opportunity for senators to intervene in the crisis.
In his remark, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, said it was clear and very important that the increase in violent killings was of great concern and that something needed to be done.

After the Nigerian economy had collapsedeearlier this year, cost of goods had been exponentially been on the high side.
But goodnews as the accountant general of the federation made known the fact that the Treasury single account of the nation recorded a sum of N4.36trn on thursday, 10th Nov.
He said the TSA had helped to reduce
inflation and reduce theft of public fund.
He noted that due to the lack of TS in
2011, the country lost a whooping sum of
N70 billion to failed banks,
Idris said that in the past, ministries and
departments operated more than 10,000
accounts that were mostly dormant and
that the funds were not used to develop
the country.
He said: “Even if we detached
accountability, transparency and anti-
corruption from TSA, it is still very
important. That is not the reason why
government started TSA. It is an anti-
corruption tool, no doubt, but it is more
than that.
“We are doing TSA because, sometime in
2011 and 2012, before that time, the
government of Nigeria, working with the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) during
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s first tenure,
carried out a broad financial reform
looking at the country’s financial system
and one of the things they asked us to do
was to do a census of bank accounts.
“Even though restricted to mainline
government ministries, we found out that
among the ministries that were based in
Abuja then, there were more than 10,000
bank accounts for about 30 ministries.
“It was not only the number that was the
problem; the practice was that when new
heads of ministries or agencies came on
board, they would go and open new bank
accounts based on personal interest,
forgetting the previous accounts. When
they open these new accounts and change
signatories, whatever balances in the
previous accounts remain there.
“Even the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
was coming to us to draw our attention to
the accounts, telling us to come and close
them.”

Praise be to Allah
The Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) enjoined the killing of snakes, and this is general in meaning and applies to all kinds of snakes, in any place. But if the snake is inside the house, it should not be killed until it has been warned three times; that is because of the possibility that it may be a jinn. Then if it appears after that, it may be killed.
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) address the people from the minbar, saying: “Kill snakes.”
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar said: After that, I would not leave any snake that I saw but I would kill it.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3299) and Muslim (3233)
Abu Dawood (5249) narrated that Ibn Mas‘ood said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Kill all the snakes, and whoever fears their revenge does not belong to me.”
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood
Muslim (2233) narrated that Naafi‘ said: One day ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar was was at a ruin of his, when he saw the flash of a small snake. He said: Find this snake and kill it. Abu Lubaabah al-Ansaari said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbid killing the small snakes that live in houses, except the short-tailed snake and the one with two stripes, for they are the ones that cause blindness and miscarriages.
And Muslim (2236) narrated that Abu’s-Saa’ib said: We entered upon Abu Sa‘eed al-Khudri, and whilst we were sitting there, we heard a movement beneath the bed. We looked and saw a snake… and he quoted the hadith, in which it says: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “These houses have inhabitants. If you see any of them, ask them to leave for three days. If it goes (all well and good), otherwise kill it, for it is a kaafir.”
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Some scholars said: It is not essential for snakes to be warned or urged or asked to leave except in Madinah only. Others said that Madinah and other places are the same in that regard, because some snakes are jinn and may be found in Madinah and elsewhere, and whoever among them Allah wills may be Muslim. Maalik said: What I prefer is that the snakes that are found in houses, in Madinah and elsewhere, should be warned for three days, but snakes should not be warned if they are found in the desert.
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said:
It is preferable that all snakes that are found in houses should be warned, as Maalik said. What is meant by warning is that the person who sees a snake in his house should say: I urge you, O snake, not to appear before us or harm us. End quote.
At-Tamheed (16/263)
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is permissible to kill desert snakes, whether they are small or large, no matter what type they are. End quote.
At-Tamheed (16/28)
So there is nothing wrong with you killing snakes that are outside the house. As for those that are found inside the house, they should not be killed until they have been warned for three days.
With regard to the view that killing the jinn that appear in the form of snakes brings bad luck, this is a false view for which there is no basis.
The Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) enjoined the killing of snakes, and this is general in meaning and applies to all kinds of snakes, in any place. But if the snake is inside the house, it should not be killed until it has been warned three times; that is because of the possibility that it may be a jinn. Then if it appears after that, it may be killed.
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) address the people from the minbar, saying: “Kill snakes.”
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar said: After that, I would not leave any snake that I saw but I would kill it.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3299) and Muslim (3233)
Abu Dawood (5249) narrated that Ibn Mas‘ood said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Kill all the snakes, and whoever fears their revenge does not belong to me.”
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood
Muslim (2233) narrated that Naafi‘ said: One day ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar was was at a ruin of his, when he saw the flash of a small snake. He said: Find this snake and kill it. Abu Lubaabah al-Ansaari said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbid killing the small snakes that live in houses, except the short-tailed snake and the one with two stripes, for they are the ones that cause blindness and miscarriages.
And Muslim (2236) narrated that Abu’s-Saa’ib said: We entered upon Abu Sa‘eed al-Khudri, and whilst we were sitting there, we heard a movement beneath the bed. We looked and saw a snake… and he quoted the hadith, in which it says: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “These houses have inhabitants. If you see any of them, ask them to leave for three days. If it goes (all well and good), otherwise kill it, for it is a kaafir.”
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Some scholars said: It is not essential for snakes to be warned or urged or asked to leave except in Madinah only. Others said that Madinah and other places are the same in that regard, because some snakes are jinn and may be found in Madinah and elsewhere, and whoever among them Allah wills may be Muslim. Maalik said: What I prefer is that the snakes that are found in houses, in Madinah and elsewhere, should be warned for three days, but snakes should not be warned if they are found in the desert.
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said:
It is preferable that all snakes that are found in houses should be warned, as Maalik said. What is meant by warning is that the person who sees a snake in his house should say: I urge you, O snake, not to appear before us or harm us. End quote.
At-Tamheed (16/263)
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is permissible to kill desert snakes, whether they are small or large, no matter what type they are. End quote.
At-Tamheed (16/28)
So there is nothing wrong with you killing snakes that are outside the house. As for those that are found inside the house, they should not be killed until they have been warned for three days.
With regard to the view that killing the jinn that appear in the form of snakes brings bad luck, this is a false view for which there is no basis.

Popular Nigerian comedian and Youtube sensation, Emma Oh Ma God (Emmanuel Edunjobi) is getting married! Emmanuel is set to wed Yetunde in a few days. His bride, Yetunde shared their love story.
They got engaged earlier this year on the 2nd of May, 2016. Read their story and view their pre-wedding photos below:
I met Emma on an ordinary day at work, I went to see one of my friends in another office to sort out some things when he said my name. As I arrived, Emma was there; imagine his surprise when he heard my name "Yetunde" and he said " You are Yoruba". My friend then said " Yea she can speak it" he then said "speak it for me, let me hear". I responded 'I'm not a parrot!".Lol! I guess that was the beginning of our on and off relationship because his funny and playful nature gave the impression of a Naija "playboy", which people had warned me about when I decided to move back to Nigeria. One particular day, I was ill but had to still go to the office and he sent me a message asking how I was and I told him I wasn't too well. He came in to my office with food and medicine and looked after me like I was his "sister". That was when I realized he wasn't all I thought he was. The rest they say is history yeah? We are here today becoming "TheOhemgees" in a few days and I couldn't be happier, God has blessed me with an amazing man in Emmanuel, who loves him and loves me and he is the only man I have been able to say would do anything FOR me and I would do likewise so i can truly say we are soulmates.
