23-Year Old Man Wins $630 Bet for Drinking a Bottle of Tequila and Dies Just Minutes After

According to reports, a 23-year old man named Kelvin Rafel Mejia was out with friends a couple of weeks ago in the Dominican Republic when he and his friends decided to play a game to see who could drink the most tequila in a single gulp. They made a bet for $630 and Kelvin won the bet as he downed a whole bottle of Tequila. Sadly, minutes later he died. In a video posted on social media, Kelvin can be seen drinking the tequila straight from the bottle. The video also shows Kelvin after he is done with the challenge as well as the moment when he passes out and collapses on the floor in the club. According to reports, he never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead at a hospital. The coroner ruled Mejía died of alcohol toxicity or alcohol poisoning. This is really sad and also a vital lesson for all to learn as it is very easy for a night of fun and games to take an unexpected turn, especially when alcohol is involved.
  • Piece of fish allegedly sold for N42,000 at Lagos Supermarket (photos)

    A Nigerian man was given the shock of his life after seeing a piece of fish sold for N42, 000 in a supermarket in Lagos. Chris shared the photo and wrote; “So earlier today, i was at the Grand square supermarket in Victoria Island, to get some snacks to quench my cravings. “Guess what I saw? Can you imagine this piece of fish is sold for 42,000 Naira? “Shouldn’t this be a wake up call for all Nigerians to go into fishing? Water don pass Garri o.” Top commenters on social media believe the price tag is a typographical error as the original price should be a sum of N420 only. Meanwhile a very ridiculous social media user dropped a comment that cracked the ribs of others as seen below: “That is Diamond fish na. It contains vitamins, protein, carbohydrate, carbon dioxide, carbon copy… it has a fridge in it. You can eat it and it will grow back, provided you eat just one part of it. Yes… that small thing. “The computer that was used to type the price is mad. The eatery that sold the fish is mad. The guy that bought the fish is mad. The boat that was used to catch the fish is mad, the fish that was killed itself is mad too. Rubbish set of people.”

    President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is returning soon to continue the project of fixing Nigeria after a time of rest in London. President Buhari spoke in a telephone conversation with Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State at the weekend during which the two men paid compliments to one another on what they had done in office. Governor Bello would be the second governor President Buhari would be speaking with after his discussion with Governor Ganduje of Kano State. The President had also been reported to have spoken with the Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, who recently lost his wife and with foreign leaders, including President Donald Trump of the United States, Moroccan leader, King Mohammed VI and African Union chairperson, President Alpha Conde of Guinea. The phone conversation which happened in Lagos on the governor’s trip back from President Olusegun Obasanjo’s 80th birthday celebrations which lasted for minutes, was in the presence of the speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly, a few other members of the House, commissioners and other top government functionaries. The President, who thanked the governor for his support and his leadership qualities, told him that he was observing rest and would return very soon to continue his assignment of providing purposeful leadership for the nation. President: “Governor Yahaya Bello, I am impressed by your leadership qualities, what you are doing in Kogi State and all your prayers and support for me and Nigeria. I am resting here and will soon return home to continue our project of fixing Nigeria,” the governor was quoted as saying in a press statement made available to Vanguard by the Director-General of the governor’s Media Team. Responding, Governor Bello was quoted as saying: “Nigeria has won respect globally because of your integrity and the anti-graft war that has been hugely successful. We are praying for you. Kogites and Nigerians are solidly behind your administration as we continue to wish you sound health and the grace of Allah.”

    See what a Zambian Lady wrote about President Buhari

    As shared by a Zambian lady Mwamba who lives in UK. ‘When a President gets sick, it worries the Nation. Sometimes it affects the economy, but it’s different from Nigeria. The Nigerian government has been honest from the beginning, they informed the nation about his illness. Despite their President being in Britain receiving treatment, their economy is growing. GET WELL SOON PRESIDENT BUHARI’.
  • Mother throws her newly born baby inside soakaway

    The police in Bauchi have arrested, Juliana James, a mother-of-six, who threw her day-old baby into a soakaway pit after being delivered of the child at home, the Punch is reporting. The suspect, who wept bitterly when paraded at the police headquarters in Bauchi on Friday, said she was forced to dispose off the child because of economic hardship as she could not include the burden of taking care of it together with her six other children. “Things are hard. My husband has no job. He had an accident three months ago and it affected his manhood. He is still in the hospital receiving treatment. “I delivered at home and threw the baby in the toilet because I don’t know how we are going to take care of it. I didn’t tell my husband.” The day-old baby was rescued alive after 12 hours of being inside the pit when her cry attracted neighbours who rushed it to the Abubakar Tafawa University Teaching Hospital for medical attention. Addressing newsmen, Commissioner of Police in the state, Zaki Ahmed, said the case was being investigated, revealing that the baby had been handed over to social welfare officers at the hospital. The worrying trend of new mothers disposing their newborns is becoming very alarming. Just last month, the police arrested an 18-year-old who dumped her four-month-old baby under the Oshodi bridge in Lagos. Late last year, residents of Uyo watched as an abandoned baby cries herself to death. Nobody tried to rescue her for fear of being arrested by the police.
