Sir?!: FG probes Swiss ambassador alleged to have come to Nigeria with his gay partner

According to a report by Daily Trust, the federal government is investigating Switzerland’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Eric Mayooraz, after it was alleged that he brought his gay partner with him to Nigeria.

Mayooraz who was posted to Nigeria last year to head the Swiss mission, is alleged to have arrived the country in company of his gay partner, a Brazilian whose name was given simply as Carlos.

Spokesperson of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Akinremi Bolaji, confirmed that the Federal government was indeed investigating the claims and that if the Swiss ambassador is found guilty, he will be made to face the law.

“We are aware of the development and have started investigation. It is either they have deceived us because we would never have allowed such a person to enter the country if we were aware before now. We have a law, which must be obeyed by all. If we find him culpable, he will be made to face the full wrath of the law.”he said

In 2013, the Goodluck Jonathan led administration signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act into law. The law frowns at any form of same sex relationships and stipulates a 14 year jail term for anyone found guilty of committing the act.

BOXING & FOOTBALL: Jose Mourinho pictured with Anthony Joshua after IBF Heavyweight title win

Jose Mourinho was at the O2 arena to see British-Nigerian Anthony Joshua (real names Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua) claim the IBF Heavyweight crown from Charles Martin inside two rounds. The Portuguese then surprisingly waited patiently in the queue of well wishers  to congratulate him on becoming the new IBF heavyweight king.

“Jose was watching the build-up and then decided, all of a sudden, he wanted a ticket last-minute,” said Joshua. 

 “They managed to get him a seat and I met him afterwards.

“I’ve met him before and he remembered me. We had a good five-minute chat. I respect him. We were in the changing room and he’s a cool guy. He just congratulated me. There were some good faces there. I saw Jess Ennis, too.”

Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn was shocked when he saw Mourinho and says his presence shows how big Joshua is becoming.

“We didn’t even know he was coming,” said the Matchroom Sport MD. “He just rocked up at half-six at the Arena and started texting people to get in.

“He then queued up at the changing room to meet him. AJ is a massive star. He is the new figurehead of British boxing.”

RACE MATTERS: NYPD Refused To Arrest White Trump Hotel Exec Who Allegedly Assaulted Black Mom In Front Of Her Kids

Nathan Crisp, 34, has been charged with assault after allegedly twice throwing 27-year-old Sheneik

McCallum to the ground in front of her children during a row over her parking on Easter Sunday.

Rather than being booked in at a police station, he was given a desk ticket and sent on his way ahead of a court appearance on May 2 – something McCallum says is ‘disrespectful’.

Speaking to the press Thursday, she said, ‘You know, to get a desk appearance ticket after you slam me to the floor… he could have broke my back, I could have been dead in front of my own two kids.

‘I feel like it’s unreasonable and it’s disrespectful. That’s all I have to say.’

Crisp – whose now deleted LinkedIn page says he is vice president of revenue management and distribution at Trump Hotels – is accused of flying into a rage after Ms McCallum pulled over outside his building to check her baby was secured in its car seat.

Ms McCallum said she pulled over outside the affluent Brooklyn apartment block to check on her child when Crisp shouted at her to get off the private property, where condos cost up to $6,000 a month.

He is claimed to have blocked in the young mother’s car with his own vehicle before attacking her, community advocate Tony Herbert told the New York Daily News.

Police say Crisp threw her to the ground twice during the heated exchange on Sunday. Crisp furiously denied the allegations, saying: ‘I am totally innocent of all charges and look forward to defending this matter in court at which time I am confident that I will be fully vindicated.

I don't see/read all these fake A** celebrities boycotting these racist organisations... Immigrant Donald Trump has made known how much hate/racism there is in U.S.A...

BOXING: Nigerian-British boxer Anthony Oluwafemi is the IBF heavyweight champion of the world!

British boxer Anthony Joshua won the IBF world heavyweight title on Saturday with a sensational second round knockout of American rival. Charles Martin.

Taking to his twitter account after the victory, the new champion wrote:

"An unforgettable night!"

Olympic champion Joshua, 26, had Martin on the canvas twice in the second round to record his 16th knockout in all 16 professional fights he has contested.

 

Joshua becomes the sixth British fighter to win a world heavyweight title.

"There 'll probably be some negativity about how easy it is. But two days ago Charles Martin was a big, dangerous southpaw and he had the confidence to come over here and fight in the lion's den," said the new champion.

"All the hype is good for boxing, let's keep on pushing this sport. Keep on supporting us because it won't last forever."

Joshua needed only one minute and 32 seconds of the second round to end the defence of the American who was widely jeered when he entered the ring wearing a crown and velvet robes.

It was a fast and powerful right hand which delivered the final blow as Martin was left clearly dazed. He was up on his feet but off them again soon after, with the hapless American failing to make the count.

"I've got people like David Haye and Tyson Fury calling me out so I need to keep improving. Every fight gets better and better. I want to give value for money and I appreciate the ongoing support of the fans," added Joshua.

Men on Tinder believe they are entitled to casual sex as compensation if their date is not as pretty as her photos

The British Sociological Association's annual conference report that men on the dating app Tinder believe they have a 'licence to use women as they see fit', for compensation if their date's appearance isn't as pretty as their profile pictures.

They say that entitles them to casual sex twith their dates to make up for the so-called 'breach of trust', experts found.

Dr Jenny van Hooff, senior lecturer in sociology at Manchester Metropolitan University, said: 'Many of our respondents felt let down on meeting a woman and on feeling a visual representation hadn't been accurate.

'Some of our respondents felt that this breaking of trust was a licence to use their date as they saw fit, thereby speeding up intimacy and undermining it at the same time.'

Among the comments researchers received from men using the app were:

• A 29-year-old man said: 'I've been very misled by very selective pictures, angles when the person isn't as attractive or as slim or sporty as they make out on pictures. I try to swerve if possible, or get something out of it.' 
• One 37-year-old man said: ''I am looking for a long term relationship, but you know within seconds of meeting someone whether that's going to happen. So now, I think if there's a chance of a shag I'll take it. Lots of girls put 'no one-night stands' on their profiles, but they still end up having them. Tinder has really toughened me up.' 
• A 34-year-old told researchers: 'What I will say is that it is natural for human beings to take advantage of each other, and Tinder hasn't changed this, but it has made it easier.'
• One 36-year-old man said: 'It's Tinder - I would say your chances of getting sex go up if a girl's lied on her profile.' 
• A 38-year-old man said: 'I went to meet her in a bar in the Northern Quarter and I could see that she was really fat. If it had been the kind of bar where I could have left without her seeing me, I would have done, but I was stuck there.' They ended the evening by having a one-night stand.

The researchers found that Tinder and other dating apps had 'commodified' relationships at the same time as making them more available. 

This could be liberating for men, but also make them feel vulnerable about how attractive and successful they were with women.
