NB Inspiration: Break Me To Make Me Better

"Sometimes God has to break us to make us. It's just a bend; it's not the end. We're all like glow sticks; no matter how much we're bent and broken, our light still shines." DeAndre Carswell.

Bishop T.D Jakes when he appeared on Oprah's Next Chapter said something similiar but so powerful and profound, he told his congregation.....that “The blessing is in the breaking; that, which refuses to be broken refuses to be blessed; It is the Breaking of life that produces the Blessing of life.”

He also said “The most blessed people I have ever met in my life have gone through something that broke them.”
In essence, adversity breeds success and a multitude of blessings. If you look at the most successful people, they didn’t get to that place without having to be broken down at some point in their lives. Why should I be any different? Why should I expect to get to the level of success I know I am destined for without having to go through the trials and tribulations to get there?

Ponder over these thoughts through the weekend, I believe it will help, guide, strengthen and give you a new mind-set when facing life.

Have a good weekEND...Don't miss us here next week!

Spontaneity Or Planned Sex, Which Do You Prefer?

Some would say that spontaneity is the spice of life but most would disagree when it comes to Love making.
According to a new research conducted by ukmedix.com, shows many couple have ditched spontaneity and now plan sex in advance.

The main reason couples are planning in advance when to make love is so that they are having regular sex. Other reasons included having a busy work schedule as well as trying to conceive, which can often take a lot of planning.

So does losing the spontaneity mean losing the Magic? Do you prefer planned sex or are you a fan of spontaneity? Or should you just stick with whatever works for you and your partner? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Man Arrested For Selling Freshly Cut Penis

Suspect Samuel Banda

Police in Malawi have arrested a 24-year-old man after he tried to sell the freshly cut penis belonging to a 45-year-old.
According to local media, officers in the central Lakeshore District of Salima say they responded to a report of a man lying bleeding and unconscious next to railway tracks on Tuesday.
But when the man was admitted to hospital, doctors were shocked to discover his penis was missing.

Salima police chief Foster Mangani said hours later, police were called to a local motel where the owner reported a guest had tried to sell her a penis. The price? US$360.

Police have named the suspect as Samuel Banda, who later admitted selling many body parts to well known business personalities in the past. There's actually a photo showing the man's penis published by the local media but it's a gory sight, can't show it on here.

I hope this man rots in jail for this evil act, what is the victim going to do without a knob for the rest of his life? Can't even imagine this...Jeeeeez.

Czech Mother Pregnant With The Country's First Naturally Conceived Quintuplets

A Czech mother has become the first ever in her country to be pregnant with quintuplets without an IVF treatment.
Alexandra Kinova, 23, is due to give birth by Caesarean section on Sunday to the Czech Republic's first ever set of quins.

Ms Kinova, who already has one son, did not realise she was carrying five babies until last month.
At first doctors said she was having twins but in March staff at the Prague Institute for the Care of Mother and Child said she was actually pregnant with four children.
However, it was not until the following month that she finally discovered she was having quintuplets.

She said: 'When we finally found a fifth head, I started to cry.'
According to local media, her children will be the country's first set of quins.
Kinova said both she and her partner have a family history of twins. 

Aww! that tommy looks like it's going to burst right now. God please this is the kind I want, but triplets, need to have it once and for all :-) By the way, the young mother is very beautiful.

Dad Puts 6-Week Old Baby In Freezer To Stop Her Crying

Bail was set at $1million Tuesday for a 25-year-old Washington man accused of putting his 6-week-old daughter in a 10-degree freezer for about an hour to stop her crying.

Tyler Deutsch, 25, reportedly left his baby girl in the ice box for an hour on Saturday afternoon. The girl's 22-year-old mother called 911 when she saw Deutsch remove the baby from the freezer.

Doctors believe the baby will survive but it's too soon to know potential complications, Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said.

The child's core temperature fell to 84 degrees in the freezer, prosecutors said. She also had a broken arm and leg and a head injury, medical staff determined.

Man Lives With Pencil In His Head For 15 Years Without Knowing

Doctors have removed a pencil from a man’s head after he had lived with it for 15 years without knowing.
The 24-year-old man is believed to have suffered an injury in his childhood, which led to the pencil being embedded in his skull.
After years of headaches, constant colds and worsening vision in one eye, the unnamed Afghan man decided to seek medical help.
After being taken for a scan in 2011, the Aachen University Hospital, in Germany, said a 10cm (4-inch) pencil was found lodged from his sinus to his pharynx.

The object was also found to have injured his right eye socket.
Once the German doctors had removed the pencil, the man was cured and since then has had no adverse effects from his treatment.
Hospital spokesman Mathias Brandstaedter said the case had come to light after it was presented at a medical conference this week.

Woman Burns Son’s Face And Stabs Him In The Head For Stealing Neighbour's Soup

A 25 year old petty trader has been arrested by police in Ibeju Lekki for allegedly burning her 6 year old son's face for going into their neighbour's home and licking their soup.

Not only did Sakirat Attah burn her son's face with hot iron after the neighbour reported her son to her, she also used a broken bottle to stab young Daniel in the head. This is unbelievable, your own child?

Sakirat took her son into their one room apartment after finding out what he did, locked the door, lit a stove, put an iron spoon on it to get hot and used it to burn his face and hands as punishment. And when that wasn't enough, she broke a bottle and stabbed him in the head, leaving a deep cut. Daniel later told police he stole the soup because he was hungry.

Woolwich Terror Attack: Michael Adebowale Saw Friend 'Literally Sliced To Pieces' In 2008 Plus His Mother 'Tried To Prevent Radicalisation'

Michael Adebowale, one of the suspects in the Woolwich murder of Drummer Lee Rigby, saw a friend “literally sliced to pieces” when they were both teenagers.

Lee James, a bare-knuckle fighter who was suffering from a drug-induced psychotic episode, murdered 18-year-old Faridon Alizada in 2008 and also stabbed Adebowale, then 16.
The Old Bailey heard that the youths were members of the "Woolwich Boys" gang.

The judge said that the dead man had been literally cut to pieces in an early morning attack at a flat in Erith, southeast London.

Reports today also say Adebowale's mother sought help from a local mosque because she feared her son was going off the rails after he dropped out of university nine months ago.

NB Inspiration: Remain Positive!

This is a word for someone out there and also for myself. Staying positive is one of the keys to solving your problems. If I may ask - are your problems thicker than the WALLS OF Jericho? Or wider and longer than the RED SEA? Or have you waited for a HUNDRED YEARS for that dream to come through? If GOD could solve those problems, he can help you with yours. 
It doesn't matter what your current situation is, how you respond to that challenge will determine whether you will be victorious over it or not. Bear this in mind always.....Remain Positive!!!

Happy WeekEND lovelies
