I got the pictures finallyyyyy, here’s award-winning writer, Chimamanda Adichie’s husband; Dr Ivara Esege, a medical Doctor. She says he’s Nigerian, American and British.
Very cute couple!
Eric Dahl; a Computer engineering student pays his school fees by participating in eating competitions. Better than engaging in all sorts of vices. Infact, he's 3rd in the world when it comes to eating competitions.
It all started sometime 2011, he didn't want to pay for a meal, to skip the bill he was asked to eat a three-pound sandwich in less than 10 minutes and guess what, he gobbled it up in 5 minutes, 50 seconds.
Eric who has been nicknamed Silo has been since been making money from it. He's made over $18,000. "I'm eating for my education, It helps me get through."
He said.
He eats more vegetables to avoid increasing his waistline, stretches his stomach by eating 10 pounds of cabbage or broccoli in a single sitting followed by a lot of water.
This might not worth a blog post. But to me and a million and one football fans out there, most especially Chelsea, it's worth more than. Nigeria's Mikel Obi netted his first EPL goal today…his first goal for Chelsea in 7 years, not a Chelsea fan tho but I'm celebrating……so many people are celebrating and I find it really interesting.lol. More goals to your record Mikel.
Ex Barcelona star, Ronaldinho has officially broken my heart, I liked him because of that awkward trademark teeth. Fine, it made him look funny each time he smiled but it also made him unique. Now he's finally gotten rid of them. He paid a Brazilian doctor a whooping sum of $58,000 to have them shapened.
He looks better and finer tho'
