A Man Who Is Dating BOTH Identical Twins Reveals Intimate Details

A man who shares the bed with two identical twins opens up about their intimate relationship.
Ben Byrne, 31, and twins Anna and Lucy DeCinque who spent more than $240,000 on surgeries to look more alike began dating about 18 months ago after they added him on Facebook on the suggestion of mutual friends.
At first, the electrical mechanic had trouble balancing the demands of two girlfriends, but he learned that the attention he paid to one, had to be paid to the other.

"It’s my first time with two girlfriends, and to be honest it’s very difficult because it has to be 100 per cent even," Mr Byrne told Woman’s Day.
"Whatever I do for one I have to do for the other, so it’s a fine balance. My mates reckon it’s a cool problem to have."
This is the first time the health nut has spoken out about his unorthodox relationship with the 28-year-olds since he came to the attention of global media when Anna and Lucy’s story came to light earlier this year.
According to Lucy, the most frequent question they got was: "How does one guy keep up with two girls in the bedroom?"
"Put it this way, we’re very active girls and he needs twice the energy," she said.

Mother of the twins, Jeanna, said she was happy, as long as the girls were happy, and had formed a strong bond with Mr Byrne as she found herself sticking up for him when he fought with the twins.
According to Mr Byrne, he gets double the love.

Kim Kardashian Flashes: Narrowly Avoids Wardrobe Malfunction

Kim was all smiles in the Hamptons as she headed out for some fun at a carnival with her family — but she almost showed off way more than her signature curves when a gust of wind blew her wrap dress wide open. Oh no!

Kim Kardashian, 33, was spotted at a fair in Southhampton on July 1 with some members of her famous family, including Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick, little Mason, and Kendall Jenner. While Kim’s family was dressed appropriately for the carnival, Kim obviously chose to don a sexy frock…which almost lead her to a major wardrobe malfunction. What do you think of Kim’s outfit? VOTE.

Kim Kardashian Flashes — See Her Near Wardrobe Malfunction:

Kim is rarely seen in jeans and a tee, and even when she is dressing more casual she is often wearing six-inch heels. Given her always-glam look, it came as no surprise that she donned a sexy silk wrap dress and high heels to a carnival in the grass.

We love Kim’s style and how she always looks runway ready, but sometimes you just have to dress down for the occasion — you can still make it sexy! While sisters Kourtney and Kendall were in denim shorts and booties, Kim was the odd man out in her frock. We love the green dress for any other occasion, but for the festival it was a little too much — and it proved to be quite annoying!
Since it was a windy day, the wrap silhouette kept blowing up and open, creating quite the Marilyn moment for Kim — and leaving her with no choice but to be uncomfortable and to hold the dress down the entire time, not allowing her to have fun with her family!
I don’t know about you, but rocking something that requires so much work when it comes to keeping the hemline down is definitely annoying — we doubt Kim was prepared for the wind!

Kim Kardashian’s Recent Wardrobe Malfunction:

We are not that surprised that Kim chose to wear a silk wrap dress on a windy day, considering she’s been flaunting her body everywhere recently. Between her see-tru bikini in Mexico, to her nipple mirror selfie, we definitely have seen a lot of Kim recently -

Rename Nigeria To 'Airegin' To Wash Off Colonial Legacy - Confab Delegate

A National Confab, Chief Mike Ozekhome, yesterday, July 3, suggested to change the name Nigeria to ‘Airegin’ because the present name of the country was twisted by the colonialists and a new one would make a clean brake from the past.
During a debate on report of committee on Political Restructuring and Forms of Government with Gen. Ike Nwachukwu and Mohammed Umara Kumalia, the co-Chairmen of the committee, Ozekhome also proposed to change the present National Anthem to the former and older one which was written by Taiwo Akinwumi.
He also suggested the old flag that was designed with the rising sun on it to be re-introduced against the backdrop that it was peculiar with all parts of the country.
According to him, with all these changes, Nigeria would wash off the colonial legacy. "I want to move that this conference should consider changing the name of the country to reflect our originality. The name Nigeria was a colonial imposition which must be corrected. The name was given to the country by Lady Flora Shaw who later became Lady Lugard."
"The country was known formally as the Southern and Northern Protectorates before the name change. It was changed because they said it was too long for them to pronounce. I suggested that the name should be changed from Nigeria to Airegin. It was just gotten when you write the name Nigeria from ‘Right to Left’."
Ozekhome wan’t the first one who suggested to change the name of the country. Earlier, another delegate of the ongoing National Conference, Dr Agwu Ukiwe Okali, suggested to change the name of the country from Nigeria to ‘Naijiria’ in order to spare the country further "setbacks and embarrassment" in the international arena.

Ozekhome also supported the idea of the additional state given to the South East geo-political zone, saying that it will integrate the zone into the system.

Obama Warns Americans About Boko Haram's Threats

Following the unabated terror attacks perpetrated by the Boko Haram insurgents across Nigeria and neighbouring borders, the United States of America president, Barack Obama, has warned Americans and the whole world on the threat posed by the Islamic militant group.
Speaking in Washington, DC on Sunday, 29 June, 2014, President Obama said that the Boko Haram and other terrorist groups were putting the United States and the entire world under a very serious threat.
The US president with Kenyan blood (his father, Barack Obama, Sr., was from Kenya) added that the United States had been seriously threatened by these various terrorist organizations for his entire time in office and even before the September 11, 2001, attacks which involved the late leader of the al-Qaeda, Mr Osama bin Laden.

Obama also revealed that his administration would do all it could to ensure that all the terrorist groups across the world were decisively fought till the world is free from terrorism.
The American leader opined further that the terrorists were gaining strength in some places, adding that his administration was trying to boost its response to terrorists trained in Iraq and Syria who, because of European passports, would have little trouble getting to the United States.
“We’re spending a lot of time, and we have been for years, making sure that we are improving intelligence so that we can respond to that. There are going to be times where we take strikes against organizations that could do us harm,” Obama said.

* Scene of bomb blast that happened in Abuja on 25 June, 2014
It could be recalled that the United States, through Pentagon spokesman, Rear Admiral John Kirby said on Friday, 27 June, 2014 that the US has scaled back its surveillance flights in the search for nearly 300 girls kidnapped earlier this year by Islamic extremists in Nigeria.
Kirby stated that flights are now being conducted on an intermittent basis as other nations have increased their support and additional intelligence has been gathered.

* Members of Boko Haram sect

More than two months since members of Boko Haram kidnapped the schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State on 14 April, 2014, the girls are yet to be returned to their parents as the Nigerian government said it would not negotiate with the terrorists on the release of the abducted schoolgirls.

Boko haram is the caus eof food shortage in our country(cameroonians)

Muslims in Cameroon are observing Ramadan in the face of serious price hikes for food due to border closures meant to protect against attacks from the Nigerian militant group, Boko Haram, according to Voice of America report.
It was gathered that Nigeria supplies up to 80% of food in North Cameroon.
According to the report, in the border town of Amchide, the normal bustling trade with Nigerian businesses is at a standstill.
Quoting a local Imam, Ibrahim Ahmadou, it was stated that Cameroon soldiers closed their border with Nigeria just ahead of the start of the Ramadan as a security measure against Boko Haram militants.
It could be recalled that the Nigerian terrorists have been plaguing some parts of Cameroon in recent months with theft, kidnappings, gun running and attacks.

* Security at Nigerian border with Cameroon
According to the Imam, the problem for his village is Nigeria is the main source of food and traders are nervous.
"Eighty percent of our rice is imported. It is very risky for a businessman to carry [import] rice knowing that there is going to be a problem. Even maize (corn), we also have oil, we have sugar, in fact all the food that Muslims need during the month of Ramadan there is a problem because of this barbaric act of Boko Haram, most businessmen do not want to come in," said Ahmadou.
Amchide shoe vendor Halirou Kakoy told news reporter that some food stuffs are no longer available and others, like sugar, now sell for 50% higher than before.
Nine out of 10 people in Amchide make their money through trade, so the border closure and ensuring inflation has hit household incomes hard. Soumou Bakari said he used to make about $200 a day, but now he barely ekes out $50.
He said he’s had to cut food money during Ramadan from $10 to $2 and his family is struggling.
Some of the residents in the village stated that the scarcity and increased prices of food have impacted their holy obligation to share food with the underprivileged during Ramadan.

* Cameroonian village of Amchide
But Ahmadou said Muslims here can forgo certain obligations during this hardship.  And, he said, many may skip the requirement to fast during daylight hours if it is affecting their health.
"According to Islamic law, they can stop fasting if the prices are so high in such a way that they cannot be able to afford those basic needs during the month of the Ramadan. After that, if the price drops, they can now fast," said Ahmadou.
Responding to the matter, Cameroon’s Minister of Trade Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana told VOA that the government plans to assist the north during Ramadan.
He said the government is discussing ways to make available basic commodities including corn, rice, fish, palm oil, and flour.
Both Nigerian and Cameroonian governments are actively fighting Boko Haram, but the militants appear to be intensifying their 5-year old insurgency and remain a threat for the two nations.

Boko Haram insurgents were reported to have attacked some villages in northern Cameroon recently a situation that forced the Cameroonian government to deploy troops to their border with Nigeria.
Both countries were reported to have met last month to discuss ways to curb the incursions of the militants group.
The United Nations, UN, few days ago blacklisted the leader of Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau.
According to Reuters, Shekau is the first entity to be so sanctioned since the Islamist militant group was blacklisted.
Following the sanction, the Boko haram leader was banned from international travel while their assets would be frozen under the UN al Qaeda sanctions list.
