A Nigerian choral group based in Akwa Ibom State has broken the world record for the largest number of Christmas carol singers in the world.

The record, which has been officially certified by the Guinness Book of World Records and pasted on its website: www.guinessworldrecords.com, was broken by the Godswill Akpabio Unity Choir, a 25,272 man-choral group, in a concert in the Uyo Township Stadium on December 13, 2014 with Guinness World Records representatives in attendance.
The record consigned to the history books the former record of 15,674 carol singers, which was achieved one year earlier (on December 15, 2013) by a group known as CENTI, Bogota, Columbia.

The Godswill Akpabio Unity Choir sang a medley of The First Noel, Joy to the World, O Christmas Tree, Hark the Herald the Angels Sing, Once in Royal David’s City and O Come All Ye Faithful in an electrifying rendition, which lasted over 20 minutes.

Guinness World Records adjudicator, Liz Smith, who did the announcement in Guinness World Record Headquarters, London, United Kingdom, congratulated the choir.
Smith said: “It is now time to reveal the report of the official attempt to break the Guinness World Record of the largest group of carol singers. Our team of highly trained record specialists have reached a decision. The record to beat was 15,674. I can now confirm that your attempt to break the record has been successful. 

Congratulations on receiving a new Guinness World Records Title. The title of the largest group of carol singers has been achieved by Godswill Akpabio Unity Choir. You are officially amazing.”

Breaking the news to Akwa Ibom State people, Governor Godswill Akpabio said: “This month, we broke the Guinness Book of World Records, for the largest number of Carol Singers ever in the world. This momentous feat was achieved when Akwa Ibom people drawn from all the nooks and crannies of the state came together in the spirit of love and brotherhood. I believe that if we imbibe the virtue of love and stand together in brotherhood in the New Year, we would keep setting records and the walls of division, which have been erected by some selfish politicians, would tumble down.”

In their comments, the Permanent Secretary, Protocol, Akwa Ibom State Government, and the organizer of the record-breaking choir, Aniekpeno Tom Mkpanang, described the Guinness World Record as “another feather to the cap of a record breaking Governor who has already garnered record breaking accolades and honours for his great visionary leadership from the academia, churches, traditional institutions and the global community. 

Many of these institutions are places you cannot buy records from, which dispels the notion of sceptics that most such awards are bought. With this record from Guinness, earth and heaven celebrate him.”

Mkpanang explained that the feat was accomplished via video adjudication audited by Alexander Forbes Consulting Actuaries, while Guinness World Records was the Supervising Actuarial Agency.

Two independent witnesses – Aity Dennis Inyang, a renowned music artiste, and Ukeme Udo, a lecturer in the Music Department of the University of Uyo – were also in attendance.
A Lagos-based company, Arcezia Security Solutions, served as Access Managers and controlled the turnstiles that conducted the headcount of the 25,272 record-breaking choir.

Burning Man Erection Contests Where A mans Erectile resilience (Stiffy) is Tested.

"The first boner to rise gets the prize," says Brad McCray at the start of the event. McCray is a beast of a man who leads the Burning Man theme camp Slut Garden with his wife of 10 years, Tammy. In front of him, five men stand exposed from the waist down with their scantily clad female partners dancing around them, encircled by a cheering, dust-covered crowd of hundreds. Every man is trying to produce an erection as fast as he can without touching himself. Their partners can encourage the sexletes but not by using their hands. This is the Speed Boner challenge, the finale to McCray's fourth annual Slut Olympics. Other events include Deep Throat (a pretty self-explanatory contest that involves a 13-inch dildo), Guess-A-Willy (a blindfolded woman has to identify her partner's penis out of a lineup of naked men), and a Best Balls beauty contest. Speed Boner is still the biggest draw. For seven days, a patch of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada becomes t...

Revealed! Yvonne Nelson Speaks on lesbian Rumours.

’I like Jim Iyke because he is a hot guy’ By Ekerete Udoh My interview with top Ghanaian actress – Yvonne Nelson-was a revelation in so many ways. Of the leading Nollywood stars, Yvonne is among those I had not had a close relationship with. I had watched her from afar, seen countless number of her movies and had always thought she was a great and talented actress – someone who combined poise, beauty and style. I had also heard of some unsavory things ascribed to her – the rumors of sexual orientation which some say verged between pure lesbianism and bi-sexualism – all manner of shenanigans that had been whispered and published about her. Some years ago, she came out with a movie, “Heart of Men”, in which she seemed to have appeared in frontal nudity– a development that set off a firestorm of protest among Nollywood lovers –with many condemning the exploitation of graphic sexual images to promote and sell movies – which was a deviation of what Nollywood had alway...

The movement: states as its mission 'As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right.

The red colored ones are the ones where the mere showing of the female breast in public is illegal according to state law.

The following cities are officially topless "tested...
