Bizarre Happenings Around The Globe

You’re not gonna believe this. The Japanese workers have been told to leave work early to avoid demographic disaster on the basis many couples are simply too tired to have sex after long hours cracking their laptops. In a conducted survey, many couples said they haven’t had sex in a couple of months because they did not have the energy.

With the Japanese birth rate dropping dramatically and the fear of population instability, Japan's labor ministry now plans to exempt employees with children under the age of three from working long hours, so they could have enough energy for procreation. Ain't that something?

Japan has the lowest birth rate and if it continues, its population would drop by almost 30 percent by 2050, and that would be a serious demographic problem. Whatever happened to Viagra and those dangerously fantasized pills? I did not make this up. Seriously!

Well, if the labor bill passes with paid time off to guarantee a greater sexual drive, the Japanese population may explode to nearly 200 million by 2050.

Now hear this. In another related survey conducted by the Singen Institute of Condom Consultancy, a German consultancy group that provides counseling on condoms, the study showed the French need the largest condoms which suggest they have penis measuring about 6.09 inches or more while the Greek had a moderate size.

The survey was conducted by asking 10,500 men from 25 different countries to measure their penis and enter the number into a database. I wonder if Nigerians, Liberians, Zairians, Ghanaians, South Africans and Cameroonians were in this survey because of their increasingly desire for sex. Amazing!

The Mexican drug lords are scarring every part of that Latino enclave to death. The hospital scene in “The Godfather” has, for sure, been replicated in a typical Michael Corleone saving his hospitalized father from a deadly hit squad. But the difference here is that in Mexico doctors are caught in the middle of fierce drug war where an estimated 5,000 people have died so far this year.

In Nigeria, politics of intimidation has become the order of the day with the continuous harassment of the nation’s former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Czar Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, who for the past couple of weeks has been on the eye of the microscope concocted by the fat cats of allegedly the James Ibori gang and Orji Kalu's demonic gangsters who have been in a position to buy politicians by reason of their loots from the treasury and their illegal campaign contributions.

As the bizarre intimidation of Ribadu continues making a mockery of our democratic dispensation, I see the press for not rising to the occasion. The press is not doing much which makes Nigeria journalism dangerously weak.
