Explaining The Mystery Of 'Magun' Scientifically
Why People 'Glue' Together During Sex:
Homer described how Mars and Venus were caught together to the "inextinguishable laughter" of the Gods (Joachim Anthonisz, J. Paul Getty Museum collection)
This article sheds more light on why some couples 'glue' together during sex. It does not deny the existence of the Yoruba phenomenom known as 'Magun', it however explains the that sometimes couples getting stuck during intercourse could be as a result of 'penis captivus'. Read the enlightening article written by Sola Oguntola of Tribune below:Recently, the international media were awash with the story of an Italian couple whose genitals got stuck together during sex in the waters of a Porto San Giorgio beach in Italy. The duo remained locked until a woman with a towel came and helped the pair walk to the shore where a medic, called by beachgoers, brought them to a local hospital before they could be separated.
Despite the fact that this incident sounds like a scene from a trashy pornographic comedy, stories of couples getting stuck during sex are real.
Though it seemed logically impossible and downright outlandish, a handful of couples have been reported to have gotten ‘glued together’ during sexual intercourse. Such cases have been recorded in Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
Although many couples may experience problems after sex such as migraines, heart problems and even memory loss, the penis getting stuck into the vagina during intercourse, especially in the missionary position, is one that has lived with man for a while. Medically referred to as penis capitvus, this condition has occurred in a handful of people over the years.The Kenyan incident in 2012 supposedly occurred after the husband paid a visit to a witch doctor after suspecting that his wife was having an affair. The media reported that the man’s wife and her lover regained their liberty after prayers and after the lover promised to pay the husband 20,000 Kenyan shillings.
Last year, the Zimbabwean media reported that a woman was bringing a law case against her long-term boyfriend for putting “runyoka” on her - a fidelity spell that caused her to get stuck in her lover. She was said to be demanding compensation from the jealous boyfriend “for humiliating her and trying to control how she should use her private part.”
Among the Yoruba of South-Western Nigeria, it is a belief that by the powers of a supernatural potion, magun, an adulterous woman can be stuck with her partner during sex after which the man vomits and dies.
Interestingly, this situation dates as far back as the 18th century. Dr F. Kräupl Taylor in a review of medical publications in the British Medical Journal in 1979, indicated that two cases were published by nineteenth-century German gynaecologists, Scanzoni (1870) and Hildebrandt (1872). They had personally dealt with this unusual problem after sex.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, indicated that Scanzoni’s patient was “a completely healthy young woman, married for six months.” She and her husband had to abstain from sexual intercourse because her intense vaginal contractions were “most painful to him and ... did on several occasions end in a spasm ... which sometimes lasted more than 10 minutes and made it impossible for the couple to separate.”
Hildebrandt’s patient had been married for about a year. Sexual intercourse with her husband had always been painless until one particular evening. Hildebrandt reported that just at the moment when he thought intercourse, which had been quite normal till then, had come to an end, he suddenly felt that he was held back deep in the vagina, tightly gripped and imprisoned, while his whole penis was in the vagina.
All attempts at withdrawal failed. When he forced the attempts, he caused severe pain to himself and his wife. Bathed in perspiration through agitation, alarm and his failure to free himself, he was finally forced to resign himself to waiting in patience. He could not say how many minutes this lasted, his imprisonment seemed endless. Minutes after, the hindrance vanished and he was free.
In spite of its occasional occurrence, Dr Augustine Takure, a consultant urologist, University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State, stated that penis captivus is commoner in animals like dogs and stories of its incidence in humans were yet to be substantiated.
“In my practice as a medical doctor for 25 years, I have not seen any case of penile captivus; I don’t know if others have seen anything like that,” he added.
But Dr Takure, citing a reported case of a couple that had intercourse but could not be separated in the United State of America, said penile captivus usually might not last up to five minutes.
“The British Medical Journal early in the 1980s reported a couple found stuck after sexual intercourse. They were both taken to the hospital and the woman was given anesthetic drug before the man was freed. It is a rare condition in men because of the background of sexual intercourse in man which is totally different from what is in animals,” he said.
Dr Tahure said penis captivus should not be confused with Magun.
“Magun simply means do not mate. The moment the man makes an attempt to have sex, he stumbles and then he starts vomiting all sorts of things. That is the essence of magun, but they do not get stuck together. That is not the essence of magun,” he added.
However, he said manifestations of magun are dependent on its constitution.
“A form of magun in Ikire, Osun State, will make the man to suddenly develop a progressive pot belly that is painful. While working in the area, I attended to a case that I thought was due to an abdominal obstruction. At the operating theatre, nothing was found. Many of such men end up dying.”
Dr Takure, however, explained that penis captivus could have occurred when the penis is within the vagina and then, the muscles of the vagina clamp down on the penis much more firmly than usual.
While psychologically, some men may feel they are “stuck” with their sexual partner, experts suggest that both need to relax and take the focus off the intercourse and anything sexy. This allows blood to leave the penis, so that he can withdraw more easily. Her pelvic floor muscles will also relax so as not to clench the shaft
Alaba Market Horror : Trader kills man for "under-pricing" his goods
A trader at Alaba International Market Ojo, Lawrence Ikonne has been arrested for allegedly killing a buyer, Isa Yaya over the price of his secondhand air conditioner.
According to reports, the incident happened at Ikonne’s house at Afromedia Estate, Okokomaiko, Lagos where Ikonne had invited Yaya to. When they got to the house, the two of them went inside a room to bring out the air conditioner, and then they started haggling over the price. Yaya allegedly insisted on buying the air conditioner below N5, 000- a price which did not go down well with Ikonne. It resulted into a fight and Ikonne allegedly hit Yaya with a plank resulting in his death...
During interrogation, the suspect said:

During interrogation, the suspect said:
“I had not met the young man before. I met him that morning at the Alaba market, and asked him to buy one of my appliances: an air conditioner. He actually looked like a cart pusher. When we got home, we both went in to remove the product, and we brought it outside for negotiation. As we continued, he said he would pay less than N5, 000. I replied that he should assist me to return it to where we took it from, but he refused. In the process, we started fighting. He even asked me to pay him for helping me bring it out. I was mad, and I hit his belly with a plank. When I realised he had fainted, I tied him with a rope and dragged him into a corner. I also fled the house.”It was one of Ikonne’s co-tenants who noticed Yaya’s tied up corpse, raised an alarm, and reported the case to the Okokomaiko police station.

Kim Kardashian Shows Off Bare Butt And Breaks The Internet
Kim Kardashian shows off her bare butt on the new issue of PAPER magazine. With the appropriately titled, "Break The Internet" issue, this will definitely have everyone talking. Does this reach Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" status?
In a statement on their website, PAPER magazine says, "For our winter issue, we gave ourselves one assignment: Break The Internet. There is no other person that we can think of who is up to the task than one Kim Kardashian West. A pop culture fascination able to generate headlines just by leaving her house, Kim is what makes the web tick."
Well, they got that right.
There is an alternate cover of Kim popping a bottle of champagne into a glass...that's resting on her ass
If you know nothing else about Kim Kardashian, you know that she is very, very famous. Some would say that's all you need to know. At press time, she has 25 million Twitter followers, about a million less than Oprah Winfrey and nearly 5 million more than CNN Breaking News. Her Instagram account, where she is a prolific purveyor of selfies, is the site's third most popular. You can't walk through a supermarket without glimpsing her on a multitude of tabloids whose headlines holler about her relationships, her parenting style and the vicissitudes of her ample curves. But she has also graced the covers of highbrow fashion bibles like W and Vogue; with her now-husband, Kanye West, she appeared on the latter above the hashtag #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple, creating a furor that made it perhaps the #worldsmostcontroversialcover.
Her millions-strong popularity and inescapable media presence have made her grist for think pieces galore. She is variously seen as a feminist-entrepreneur-pop-culture-icon or a late-stage symptom of our society's myriad ills: narcissism, opportunism, unbridled ambition, unchecked capitalism. But behind all the hoopla, there is an actual woman -- a physical body where the forces of fame and wealth converge. Who isn't at least a tad curious about the flesh that carries the myth?
Unlike most people, she looks exactly the same in person as she does in photographs or on television, with one exception: she is smaller than she appears in images, with tiny, almost doll-like ears and feet and hands. Everything else about her seems amplified, tumescent. Her black hair is thicker than any you have ever seen, her lips fuller, her giant Bambi-eyes larger, their whites whiter, and the lashes that frame them longer. If some of this is the result of artificial enhancement -- does anyone else have eyelashes that resemble miniature feather dusters? -- none of it seems obviously ersatz. But that's not to say it looks real, either. She is like a beautiful anime character come to life.
As soon as she arrives at the hostess podium of the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, where we meet for our interview, a young fan who appears to be in her late teens or early twenties accosts her. The fan has been running to catch (keep up with?) Kardashian; she brings with her a breeze. "Will you take a selfie with me, Kim?" she pants. (This is what fans asks the High Priestess of Instagram -- autographs are so last century.) She obliges, leaning in for the picture and striding away almost before I can blink. "She's gonna post it," Kardashian says wryly. "I bet it's posted right now." Later, she will tell me that she's "not really a filter person," and that she doesn't generally use them when she publishes her many selfies. As she talks, I notice that her skin, which is the golden color of whiskey, is free of wrinkles, crow's feet, laugh lines, blemishes, freckles, moles, under-eye circles, scars, errant eyebrow hairs or human flaws of any kind. It's like she comes with a built-in filter of her own.
With its enveloping green leather booths and twinkling white garden lights, the Polo Lounge is a setting that lends itself to intimacy. Kardashian, who is wearing a monochromatic champagne-colored ensemble (Margiela bodysuit, Chloé silk pants, Lanvin silk coat), gives off a cozy vibe herself. She leans forward while she talks, resting her cheek in the palm of her hand as though she's chatting with her closest girlfriend. She tells me that the Kardashian clan is currently a week into filming season 10 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which she has called "the best family movie ever," never mind the rampant speculation, in early 2013, that season 9 would be her last. I'm surprised to hear that they still enjoy the process, since your typical American family would no longer be on speaking terms. "We're kind of obsessed with each other," she explains.
Today, a day off, she spent at a pumpkin patch with West, whom she repeatedly calls Kanye -- she clearly enjoys saying his name -- and their 16-month old daughter, North. They arrived at the farm unbothered by photographers, a rarity in the circus that is her life ("literally every single day there's about ten cars of paparazzi literally waiting outside our homes"). It wasn't long, however, before the paparazzi had surrounded them. "I couldn't really pick out our pumpkins, and [North] couldn't really enjoy it," she says. After a moment, perhaps concerned that she has come perilously close to complaining about her fame, she adds matter-of-factly: "You just have to not care. You just have to say, 'This is our life, and it is what it is.'" Her delivery is Zen-like, almost affectless, as it is on the show. "All my friends tell me the world could be coming to an end, and I'm always so calm," she says, opening a packet of Equal. She empties its contents into a glass of passion fruit iced tea, then fastidiously bites granules of sweetener off her manicured nails.

The rap on Kim Kardashian is that she has done nothing to merit her fame. But the longer I steep myself in the ambience of her pleasantly languid manner and hologram-perfect looks, the more facile this charge begins to seem. Of course, she has cannily leveraged that fame to build, with her sisters, a beauty-industrial complex, which includes a clothing line, a makeup line, a line of tanning products and seven perfumes. (A collection of hair care implements and styling products will debut in the spring.) Her mobile app, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, in which players climb their way to A-List status under Kardashian's tutelage, has earned over $43 million since its debut in June.
Yet her perceived lack of accomplishment is also, perhaps, an accomplishment in itself. Kardashian seems to know instinctively that, as Andy Warhol once observed, "When you just see somebody on the street, they can really have an aura. But then when they open their mouth, there goes the aura." Take the stream of small faux-confidences that she offers during the interview. They reveal very little yet foster a sense of closeness. She tells me that she is "obsessed with apps" but, when I ask her to name one, she replies, "I like all different apps." Of her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, one of her rare missteps that actually left a footprint, she says: "It's just one of those life lessons that you have to learn, and it's OK." Her behavior suggests that the key to total ubiquity is giving up all of one's verbal edges and sharp angles (while occasionally tossing out a memorable visual flare: a sex tape, say, or a nude photo shoot).
Social media has created a new kind of fame, and Kardashian is its paragon. It is a fame whose hallmark is agreeable omnipresence, which resembles a kind of evenly spread absence, soothing, tranquil and unobjectionable. There's an argument to be made that Kardashian has been recorded and viewed more often than any other personage in history, and while she has certainly had her awkward moments (posting a vampire facial on Instagram, announcing that she wanted to buy a stroller that complemented her unborn baby's skin color), she has also never made a truly ruinous gaffe, been caught in a Britney Spears-style public meltdown or sallied forth looking less than photogenic. As she puts it, "There's nothing we can do that's not documented, so why not look your best, and amazing?"
To mere mortals who occasionally visit the grocery store in yoga pants, her willpower and self-discipline are a marvel. Imagine being filmed and photographed constantly, yet never saying anything seriously controversial or appearing unkempt. The effort involved seems torturous, impossible. And yet, though her life requires work of a sort -- roughly two hours of hair and makeup each day, regular meetings for her assorted businesses, wardrobe fittings, photo shoots, 5:00 a.m. workouts -- you don't get the sense that she is hiding or suppressing her true, private self. "I think you've seen every side of me on my show," she says, popping a piece of pound cake into her mouth.
We're accustomed to our performers having onstage and backstage registers, but for her there is no division between the two. This is, indeed, the definition of a reality star. She's not performing, that is -- at least not visibly. She is being, and being is her act. Her appeal derives from her uncanny consistency, as does that of her show. It's relaxing to watch the sisters sprawl on each other's beds and talk about nothing, to see them discuss constipation cures or their preferred way to eat Nilla Wafers. Like Warhol's screen tests, Keeping Up With the Kardashians has a disarming purity. It invites us to glory in its stars' mundanity, which permits us to enjoy our own.

"My makeup artist said to me the other day, 'You haven't taken a selfie in a while,'" Kardashian says, as the afternoon slides into evening and the light turns magic-hour blue. To remedy this, she posted one of herself in full makeup and a white terrycloth robe, with the literal caption, "It's been a while since I've taken a selfie." It garnered more than a half-a-million likes. Selfies have been on her mind lately. She is putting together a collection of her oeuvre, called Selfish, to be published by Rizzoli in the spring. She has spent hours sifting through her vast, meticulously organized digital archive. "The book company edited them, and I was like, 'Wait a minute! There are like 300 here that you're not adding!'" she says. I remark that I am surprised she can remember and differentiate among a bunch of near-identical photos of her face. She can, she says; she is organizing them chronologically, dating them by what she wore to specific events. "I know what I wore, what accessories I wore, where I was, who I was with," she tells me. "I remember everything." Her mind, it seems, traps the minutiae most of us forget. For her, though, it's not minutiae; it's her life, and her life is her career.
I ask her whether Kim Kardashian would exist without social media. "I don't think so..." she says, slowly, then reconsiders. "I don't think social media was that heavy when we started our show, but I think we really evolved with social media." The next day, as I scroll through Instagram, I come across a photograph of her, taken the night of our interview, wearing the champagne getup at a restaurant in Venice. I also find two photos of North toddling around the pumpkin patch in a tiny fringed cape and Baby Vans. One of these pictures has more than a million likes. "I love sharing my world with people," Kardashian tells me, and I detect no hint of falseness. "That's just who I am." No more, no less.

Love It or Leave It: Khloe's Hotness ... Or Khloe's Desperation?
This is what Khloe Kardashian wore to rumored-on-again boyfriend's, French Montana's, birthday party, and whoa. This dress shows off everything ... and when we say "everything," it's clear that we mean "everything."
Verdict: Love it, because it's Khloe. If it were on any of the other Kardashians, we'd likely waffle between incredulousness and disdain, but somehow, Khloe pulls it off. Who knew.
Nicki Minaj Explains Why She & Lil Wayne Never Had Sex
Nicki Minaj makes the revelation in a rap at the MTV 2014 EMAs.
Nicki Minaj hosted the MTV 2014 EMAs in Glasgow, Scotland yesterday (November 9) and used the platform to deliver new material.
“I made up a dope new rap just for you Scots,” the YMCMB rapper said.
Nicki Minaj then rhymed about her label boss, Lil Wayne.
“I never [fucked] Wayne 'cause he’s not a Scot,” Nicki Minaj rapped. "The other reason is I’m not a thot.”
In addition to hosting he twentieth anniversary edition of the EMAs, Nicki Minaj won in the “Best Hip Hop” category, in part because of her “Anaconda” single.
The song is slated to appear on Nicki MInaj’s The Pinkprint album, which is set for a December 15 release.
Nicki MInaj also debuted her “Bed Of Lies” single with Skylar Grey at the EMAs.
Tyga Reportedly Arrested On Set Of Music Video Shoot
Tyga was arrested during a music video shoot for driving recklessly, possessing a gun not REGISTERED in California.
Tyga has recently had problems with other membersof his label including Nicki Minaj and Drake. Now it seems the YMCMB rapper has a few problems with the law.
According to TMZ, Tyga was pulled over in a Rolls-Royce after they claim he was driving recklessly during a music video shoot. His bodyguard was also arrested.
At the time, the gossip site didn't know the exact reasons why he was being taken in and details are still scarce however they were told Tyga was arrested because the LAPD found a gun not REGISTERED in the state of California in the vehicle. It has been confirmed by the police department that reckless driving was the cause for the stop, which subsequently had six cop cars surrounding the rapper at the time of the incident.
This is not the first time the Los Angeles native has had a brush with the law. Back in 2012 he was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada after police acted on a warrant for his arrest due to prior traffic incidents. Tyga was incarcerated at the Clark County Detention Center and was released the NEXT day.
View pictures of Tyga and his bodyguard in handcuffs below (via TMZ):
The Singer From The Cranberries Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting A Flight Attendant!
The Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan was arrested for allegedly assaulting a flight attendant on a transatlantic Aer Lingus flight from New York to Shannon, Ireland.
We know those long flight can make people testy, but this is extreme!
When the plane landed in Shannon's airport, police boarded the aircraft and arrested the crooner.
A spokesman for the Garda, the state police force of Ireland, had this to say about the alleged assault:
"Gardaí were called to meet the aircraft following an allegation of an assault on a female Aer Lingus air hostess. A Garda was also assaulted during the course of the arrest."
The Garda who was allegedly assaulted did not require hospital treatment, and the flight attendant suffered a foot injury and was taken to Mid-West Regional hospital in Limerick.
Saints preserve us!
In addition, Dolores was apparently taken to a hospital herself after the incident, and was released from police custody.
We'll keep you updated as more details emerge from this bizarre event.
