A Thai man with two beautiful wives has got attention on social media over the past week after their photos went viral.
It all started when the first wife, Warissara Poksrichan, 32, posted photos of the three of them on Valentine’s Day that got 6,000 shares,
“People are bragging about their husbands on Facebook. Well, my husband happens to have two wives!. It’s been years and I’ve never changed my mind with you. The only thing that has changed is the size of our boobs, 600cc and 450cc. You love them,” Warissara joked about her and the other wife’s breast augmentation.
The husband Manop Nuttayothin, 42, told local media that he originally had three wives, but his first wife “Dear” passed away after they had three children together. He has been living with his second wife Warissara Poksrichan, 32, for over a decade and, at some point after that, added Nattaya Tongpan, 26, to the marital mix. He has three children with each of them.
The trio and their nine children have given numerous interviews sharing their secrets for having a happy marriage in Thailand.

The two wives help with Manop’s business, selling car parts at major racing events in Thailand. Manop said that he gives the two wives a salary but refused to say how much he gives them.
But Nattaya said it’s not about money, “He mostly invests in the kids.”
“That’s true. For the kids, he gives them 100 percent. For the wives, if we asks him for THB1,000, he’ll only give us THB200,” she said with a smile.

For Manop, he admits he’s a lucky guy to have had three wives, and the secret to a happy marriage is that he immediately shuts down conflict it arises.
“Whenever there’s problem, I talk to them about it on that same day. Sometimes it happens. I’ll overlook something and realize that I treated one wife better than the other. When I understand that’s a problem, I make sure I treat the two of them equally. We do the same things. We do everything at the same time. It’s the best.”

For Warissara, she said that she focused on building a home with her husband and Nattaya, and the two wives never fight.
Warissara said that her husband is a fair man. He’s also attentive and hardworking.
“It’s all about understanding. We love each other. We care about each other. Because of that, we’re happy. I really believe so,” Warissara said.

11 people fall?ill after a suspicious letter was opened at a military base in?Virginia
According to the Arlington County Fire Department, Eleven people fell ill after a suspicious letter was opened in an administrative building at Joint Base Fort Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia, on Tuesday.

A law enforcement official said field tests for the letter all came back negative for any harmful substance, but the FBI is transporting it tonight to its lab in Quantico for further analysis.

Of the 11 individuals who felt ill, three were transported to a local hospital and are in a stable condition, a spokesperson for the department said.

"An envelope containing an unknown substance was received, today, aboard Joint Base Ft. Myer-Henderson Hall. Personnel in the affected building took immediate preventative measures by evacuating the building," according to Maj. Brian Block, a US Marine Corps spokesperson.

"Base officials and are coordinating with local HAZMAT teams and FBI. Several Marines are receiving medical care as a result of this incident. No additional details are available at this time as the investigation is ongoing," Block said.

The law enforcement official said the text of the letter contained derogatory, at time unintelligible and ranting language, and was addressed to a commanding officer at the base. Investigators are still determining what relationship, if any, the sender had with the base. The spokesperson for the Arlington Country Fire Department said that the incident response is being scaled back, however, the investigation remains ongoing.

A corporal, gunnery sergeant and a colonel all exhibited symptoms of a burning sensation on their hands and face, according to Specialist Nicholas Hodges who spoke to CNN from the base. One individual had a nose bleed. It is unclear at this time whether the letter was opened and who exactly handled it. The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. in building 29, known as Henderson Hall, where Marines and civilians work, according to Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Public Affairs. A spokesperson for Arlington Fire Department told CNN they are assisting in the matter.

Fashion or madness! Thong jeans debuts at Tokyo
Thong Jeans are one of the newest fashion trends but people are not feeling it at all.
The eccentric fashion trend made a debut during Tokyo’s fashion week. The "Thibaut" jeans were created by Japanese designer Meiko Ban. A pair was worn on the runway by a model in a nude bodysuit, which was visible under the ripped pants.

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has praised the General Superintendent and members of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry for its contributions towards community development and improvement of the quality of life of the people of the State.
Governor Ambode who spoke Tuesday at the commissioning of multiple projects executed by the Church in the Gbagada area of Lagos, commended Deeper Life for mobilizing millions of its members across the world towards making life more meaningful for members of the community that live around its headquarters in Lagos.
Projects commissioned by the Governor included a link bridge on Oduwaiye Street, Gbagada, traffic lights on a number of streets and a 600 capacity multilevel car park, all built from the contributions of members of the church across the country.
Governor Ambode, who was represented by the State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr Olawale Olowu said that Deeper Life has by those projects demonstrated its willingness, not only towards the spiritual uplift of its members but also on the quality of life of the people irrespective of religious inclinations.

“What Deeper Life Church has done is epochal and keys into the overall drive of the State Government under the leadership of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode towards the renewal of infrastructure projects all over Lagos in line with the mega city ambition of the State. It is my considered view that if all other religious groups and private sector organizations in the state, provide similar support to the Government, a lot will be achieved and in a very short time in improving the quality of infrastructure in our Lagos,” the Governor stated.
Earlier in his welcome speech, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William F. Kumuyi said the Church is deeply concerned about the comfort of the people of the communities where it is located, hence its decision to embark on the projects.

He thanked the various ministries and departments in the state for their support and cooperation during the design and construction stages of the projects, admitting that little could have been achieved without the cooperation of these various agencies and departments.

''I almost committed suicide last year'' comedian Owen Gee reveals

''I almost committed suicide last year'' comedian Owen Gee reveals



Comedian and TV personality, Owen Gee, has joined the campaign against Nigerians committing suicide. While speaking at a new initiative,  Live and Not Die, charged with the repsonsibility of campaigning against suicide, Owen Gee revealed that in 2017, he attempted suicide a couple of times when he passed through very difficult times.
I have had suicidal tendencies. Last year, I tried several things, but they did not work out. It was not because the ideas were bad, but the people I was working with just didn’t let them work out. Then anxiety and depression set in. It was then I realised that no drug could calm depression. There was hardly anyone I didn’t take. There was a time I was sleeping on drugs. There was a particular yellow tablet that, if I took it on Tuesday, on Wednesday I would only be prompted to barely wake up, eat and go back to sleep even before I finished eating. I would not wake up until Thursday.” he said
The comedian said he had to find a way to tackle his depression so he could live life better not just for himself but for his family. He appealed to Nigerians to stop leading fake lives which he said is very prevalent in the entertainment sector which he is a part of.

Africans  in Israel paint their faces white to avoid deportation
Africans in Israel have been given "deportation notices" and those who failed to leave were imprisoned at the Saharonim prison in the south of Israel.

To protest the deportation, inmates at the Holot prison in the Negev desert first embarked on a hunger strike. African migrants also went out into the streets, protesting in front of embassies like that of Rwanda, and hoping to pressure officials to end their expulsion.

Africans involved in the demonstration painted their faces white, suggesting they were being sent into danger because Israel didn’t believe their black lives mattered. The protesters carried placards on which was written words like, "Now I'm White. Will you deport me?", "Do Black lives matter?", and "Deported to death because I'm Black".

The government of Israel has proposed giving each migrant $3,500 to leave, with the option of going home or to a third country. If they don’t leave by end of March, migrants face indefinite incarceration. Immigration officials are also hiring civilian inspectors to help investigate and arrest the migrants.

Israel’s plan to return refugees has drawn criticism from human rights advocates both in and outside the country. Academics, activists, and prominent Israeli writers have called on prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to deport the asylum seekers, saying the nation has “no refugee problem.”

Boy, 4, freezes to death after sleepwalking out of his house in the middle of the night
A 4-year-old boy has died after sleepwalking out of his house into freezing -20C temperatures in the middle of the night.

Bodgan, dressed only in his pajamas, was discovered frozen to death outside by his mother who followed his tiny footsteps in the snow. His mum Maria woke at 6am to find he was not in the house. She then discovered he had unlatched the door and gone out into the severe cold with nothing on his feet, and no hat. The sleeping child, who lived in the village of Yaga in the Uzhursky district of Krasnoyarsk region, had set out towards a neighbors house in Siberia, Russia.

The Russian authorities have launched an investigation into his sad death.

Dad poisoned his child born to his mistress to please his wife

 

Dad poisoned his child born to his mistress to please his wife



Dad poisoned his child born to his mistress to please his wife
A dad poisoned his baby girl born to his mistress because his wife was upset he’d fathered the child with another woman.

Jeffrey Thomas, 23, is accused of giving the four-month-old antifreeze mixed with formula while feeding her last month, leaving the infant extremely ill. When the child's illness worsened, he and his wife took her to a hospital close to their home in Brainerd, Minnesota, but the poison had left her in a critical condition, and she was airlifted to the Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. There, tests showed the little girl had ingested ethylene glycol, which is most commonly found in anti-freeze and de-icer.

Thomas reportedly told the police he did not have any anti-freeze in his home but during a search they found a jug of it in the basement. Investigators also discovered traces of ethanol in the baby's formula bottle, a common antidote to antifreeze poisoning.

Thomas' Google search also showed that he searched for "what does antifreeze do to the human body" six days before the girl was rushed to hospital. He is said to have told cops that he searched for that on Google because he feared his mom’s cat had been poisoned with antifreeze.
The baby was almost killed by the poison but has managed to recover and is now in foster care. Thomas insists he is not the girl’s father, but the baby’s mom insists that he is. A paternity test has been carried out.
Thomas was charged with first-degree attempted murder at Crow Wing County District Court Monday and has been held in the adjoining jail on a $750,000 bond.

Donald Trump confirms he's running for re-election in 2020 and names his campaign manager

Donald Trump confirms he's running for re-election in 2020 and names his campaign manager



Donald Trump confirms he
US President Donald Trump will run for a second term as president and has named Brad Parscale, his 2016 digital strategist, as his campaign manager for 2020.

The news that Trump is intending to seek re-election may not come as a surprise to most considering that he formally filed paperwork for his re-election just one day after his Inauguration Day in 2017. Despite that, Trump’s confirmation that Parscale, a former digital adviser, will lead his re-election campaign, represents the first official confirmation from the President that he is seeking a second term.

Soon after the announcement, Parscale announced two other individuals had been chosen for top leadership positions in the campaign, including Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

The choice in campaign manager shows that Trump’s 2020 campaign will rely heavily on using social media and other digital platforms to spread his message. ???Parscale’s firm charged Trump’s campaign $94 million for its work on the 2016 election.

PSP Operators, community leaders embrace Cleaner Lagos Initiative *As normalcy gradually returns to Lagos streets

PSP Operators, community leaders embrace Cleaner Lagos Initiative  *As normalcy gradually returns to Lagos streets
Thomas Forgacs, Chief Operations Officer, Visionscape Sanitation Solutions; Abiodun Bamgboye, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment; Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti, Honourable Lagos State Commissioner for Environment; Babatunde Hunpe, Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Environment; John Irvine, Chief Executive Officer, Visionscape Sanitation Solutions; Bamidele Garko, Chief Executive Officer, Bamitony and Company, Ikoyi; and Lanre Wilton-Wawdell, Chief Executive Officer, Cleanway Limited at the Waste Collections Operators Participation roundtable meeting at the Ministry of Environment office, Alausa Ikeja Lagos which held on Thursday.

The differences which gave rise to emergence of refuse across Lagos State over the implementation of a new waste management policy encapsulated in the Cleaner Lagos Initiative have been resolved, with all the key players agreeing to sheath their sword and collaborate in order to ensure cleaner, prosperous and healthier environment in the state.

The resolve to collaborate was reached on Thursday at a meeting held between officials of the Lagos State Government, Visionscape Sanitation Solutions and Waste Collection Operators (WCOs), also known as Private Sector Participant (PSP) Operators.

Speaking at the meeting, the State’s Commissioner for the Environment, Dr Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti said that government was interested in easing challenges being experienced in Waste Management at present by creating synergy between Visionscape and the WCOs in their spheres of operation, stressing that resolving the challenge in a mutually beneficial manner was the best approach.

“Government more than ever believes in this partnership and that is why it has not only provided a facility of up to N2.5b with State Government guarantee, which PSP Operators could access to upscale their operations, but has also opened another channel through the Employment Trust Fund for loan facilities at reasonable interest of not more than 12% per annum”, he said.

The Environment Commissioner stated that the Lagos State Government was determined to remove all bottlenecks hindering seamless waste disposal operations, adding that it was making the bold move of targeting a turn-around time of thirty minutes at the dumpsites by encouraging concerned stakeholders to create additional platform at the sites.

He emphasized that no efforts would be spared to return the dump sites to sanity by reducing the menace of indiscriminately parked trucks and scavengers, both of which add to the loss of time at the dump sites.
On his part, Visionscape’s Chief Executive Officer, John Irvine, applauded the new found understanding between his company and the Waste Collection Operators and stated that challenges being experienced in domestic waste management in Lagos State had to do with the fact that the domestic waste operator was just in its first cycle of operation, meaning that it must contend with some teething problems.
His words: “It is not unusual to face this kind of problems especially in the first cycle of operations. It takes some time to build the superstructures and to ameliorate the present hiccups; we are buying locally and taking steps to have waste container bins manufactured locally.”
Speaking on behalf of the WCOs, Kasumu Afis Olasehinde reiterated their commitment to the success of the Cleaner Lagos Initiative and pledged to roll out more trucks to rid Lagos of Wastes’ black spots.
“To show our total commitment to a cleaner, healthier and safer Lagos, we have not only resolved to work with the Government of Lagos State and the domestic waste operators as partners, we have also resolved to commence free Operations every Thursdays to mop up black spots in our respective areas” he said.
It was agreed at the meeting that a seamless process should be put in place on how Visionscape and the PSPs will partner on the door-to-door collection of waste from March 1.
It was also agreed that Visionscape would take the PSPs on a tour of the Epe Landfill, the first engineered landfill in West Africa.
The meeting also agreed to set up a committee comprising all the stakeholders to ensure smooth operation of the project.
At a meeting with the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu at City Hall, Lagos Island on Wednesday, community leaders and market leaders also embraced the Cleaner Lagos Initiative.
With the reconciliation efforts, normalcy has started returning to Lagos Streets.

Legendary singer Phil Collins, 67, who's currently on his South American tour performed at the Porto Alegre's Beira Rio Stadium in Brazil on Tuesday night.
The 67-year-old singer delivered crowd-pleasing performance despite sitting down throughout the show, due to his debilitating health woes.

Last year, the 'In The Air Tonight' hitmaker was involved in an incident. He fell on his way to the bathroom which forced him to cancel a number of shows.

But ever since he underwent a surgery, the singer has been forced to perform a number of shows from his chair, including his British Summertime Festival set in Hyde Park last June
At that time,a statement which was released read: ‘Phil suffers from “drop foot” as a result of a back operation which makes it difficult to walk.
‘He rose in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and slipped in his hotel room, hitting his head in the fall on a chair.
‘He was taken to hospital where he had stitches for a severe gash on his head close to his eye and is recovering well’.
