Women Are More Attracted To Men With Large Genitals - Study

Previous studies on women’s preferences for male genital size have been mixed, and even though it is the men who typically worry about the size of their own genitals, it is not unusual for women to prefer large-size male genitalia, even if it is up to a point. But scientists have always argued that the old studies relied on questionnaires, which they say may not always provide honest answers. However, it is now scientifically proven that size does, indeed, matter significantly because women tend to be more attracted to men with large genitals. A new study by Australian researchers found that while the average woman rates the average man with large genitals more attractive, large genitals also give tall men a bigger attractiveness boost than shorter men. A publication of the study result in the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, however, notes that the returns on bigger genitals start to decrease at a flaccid penile length of 2.99 inches (7.6 centimeters). The study suggests that women’s preferences for bigger male genitals could explain why human males have relatively big genitals for their body size. In previous related studies, scientists only asked women to judge the attractiveness of male figures in photos with only penile size varied, when in fact no trait is ever evaluated in a vacuum. But in the Australian study, researchers at the Australian National University, showed 105 young Australian women life-size computer-generated figures of nude men, varying the figures’ flaccid penile size, height and shoulder-to-hip ratio. Height and shoulder-to-hip ratio have previously been shown as factors used by women to judge attractiveness. The computer simulations varied penile width in sync with length, so that all penises were proportional. The results revealed that women preferred taller men as well as high shoulder-to-hip ratios (meaning that the wider the shoulders were than the hip, the more attractive the man). Shoulder-to-hip ratio was a major determiner of attractiveness, accounting for 79.6 percent of the variation in hot-or-not ratings. Though the effect was less extreme, women also preferred larger male organs, at least up to 5.1 inches (13 cm) flaccid, which was the largest computer-generated penile size in the study. Beyond 2.99 inches, however, the additional attractiveness per extra length started to decline. When the researchers controlled for shoulder-to-hip ratio, they found that a larger penis had a greater effect on attractiveness for taller men, hinting that a larger penis just looked more proportional on a taller man’s body, the researchers wrote, or it could be that women were biased against shorter men to the extent that even large genitals didn’t help. Interestingly, women’s own features mattered as well. Researchers found that taller women were more likely to find taller men attractive. Women with greater body mass per height were slightly more likely than thinner women to weigh penile size more heavily in their judgments of attractiveness, though the difference was small. Researchers say the findings might help explain why humans have remarkably large genitalia given their average body size. It is a fact that male humans have the largest penises that any other primate species: For example, male gorillas can weigh as much as 180 kilograms, but their erect penis length is only about 1.5 inches (4 cm). Human males weigh about half of what gorillas do, but studies peg average erect or flaccid-but-stretched penis length from 4.7 inches (12 cm) to 6.5 inches (16.7 cm). Evolutionary biologists theorize that large human penises might help remove sperm from competing males during sex, but in an era before clothing, women may have been drawn to mating with men whose genitalia caught their eye. Men with larger penises, then, may have passed on their genes more readily, resulting in the large-genitals trait being handed down the generations. In other words, males may have females to thank for their greater-than-gorilla-sized genitals.

Bag Of Rice May Sell For ₦40,000 By December - Minister

If Nigeria fails to start producing rice, by December 2016, the price of a bag of rice could be ₦40,000, says the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri.

Lokpobiri, who made this known at a town hall meeting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Saturday, said that Nigeria spends about $22bn a year on importation of food into the country. He said, “For your information, we spend about $22bn a year importing food into Nigeria. We know how many more dollars they bought and that is why you see the price of rice going up. “Price of rice was may be ₦12,000 some months ago, but it is now about ₦26,000 and if we don’t start producing, by December it could be ₦40,000. “Rice matures in three months. So, this is a wakeup call for Bayelsa people to take the four farms we have seriously. The federal government has four farms in the state in our records. The average land you see in Bayelsa can grow rice, so the colonial masters were not wrong in their assessment when they said Niger Delta could feed not only Nigerian but also the entire West Africa sub-region. “Unfortunately, agriculture till today, is not a priority of the Niger Delta as far as the state governments are concerned because of oil.” He said the states in the Niger Delta had yet to give priority to agriculture the way the North-West states such as Kebbi, Jigawa, Kano as well as other states like Lagos, Ebonyi, Anambra, prioritized it. He said Anambra State for instance, was not owing salaries despite the fact that it does not have oil but raking in money by merely exporting vegetables.

Herdsman gets 2 years sentence for grazing

A Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti has sentenced a herdsman, Ali Haruna, to two years imprisonment for grazing his cows in a farmland in Ado-Ekiti. The Magistrate, Idowu Ayenimo, in his judgement, said the accused was arraigned in his court on Jan 22, 2016 on a two-count charge of willful and unlawful damage of farm crops at Ago Aduloju in Ado-Ekiti. The 18-year-old Mr. Haruna was confirmed by the four prosecuting witnesses to have been caught in the midnight grazing his cow in the farm belonging to Abdulahi Yaho and Bello Mohammed. The cash crops said to have destroyed by the cows in the farm included cassava, maize, okro and pepper, all valued at N3 million. The defendant told the court that the owner of the cows lived in Ilorin, Kwara. The magistrate said the court did not believe Mr. Haruna’s defence as it was not credible. He held that the Police prosecutor, Olasunkanmi Bankole, had proved his case beyond reasonable doubt. He thereby convicted the defendant as charged without option of fine. The magistrate ordered that the sentence should run concurrently, explaining that the term was minimal because the offence was committed before the Grazing Law was promulgated in the state. The Ekiti State government recently outlawed the grazing of livestock in open areas without permission. Defaulters face sentences and fines. The defence counsel, Chris Omokhafe, had prayed the court to be liberal in the dispensation of justice, saying that he was a first offender. WHERE IS GOVERNOR OTOM OF BENUE STATE…..

We found on him military camouflage, charms, different car number plates, and dangerous weapons. “What you are seeing is a continuation of our war against criminality and we are taking the fight to the criminals because the number of deaths and pains these gangs have inflicted on the people is unimaginable. “So far, we are taking our time in our search for them, including Gana, because we are avoiding the loss of innocent live in the operation. But we will surely smoke them out.” Power generator ‘stolen’ Also paraded was one Patrick Uchenna, who was nabbed in Makurdi by security operatives for allegedly attempting to convey two stolen Lister power generators from Makurdi to Jos.

Comrade Johnson Agada charges parents to pass cultural values to their ward

The chairman Mannex production and organizer of Ogbadibo cultural carnival has emphasized the need for parents to pass the cultural values of the Idoma tribe to their wards in order to preserve the tradition of unity and social cohesion taught by cultural events taught by our forefathers. Agada whose company, Mannex production, has sponsored so many event over the years as part of its Heritage Series. He reiterated that unless parents took it upon themselves to propagate the values behind the cultural events, the next generation may consider the carnival fetish and thereby jettison them. He disclosed that the theme of this year’s celebration is curbing social menace in society through cultural celebration and celebrating our cultural heritage in other to succinctly captures the societal relevance of the CARNIVAL within the current milieu as well as a common resolve to ensure that it is cascaded to the next generation as a source of pride and honour for the Ogbadibo people and Idoma race.

The entertainment mogul and culture enthusiast recalled that “Over the years, Ogbadibo has remained not only a point of crystallization and social re-engineering; it is as well an avenue for the constellation of ideas and initiatives that are geared towards prompting the growth of the society and the wellness of its people”. He however declared that unless the next generation understood the essence of the carnival, it would soon become moribund especially in the event of the growing penchant for Western cultures by the Idoma youth. According to him, Ogbadibo cultural carnival is going to be an exhibition platform to display the cultural wealth of the people and the values that unite them and has assumed the role of a social melting pot where all divergent issues affecting the lives of the people are processed, congealed and digested and where the sons and daughters of Idomaland both home and abroad are mindful of their collective responsibility as active players in the socio-economic growth of the geographical space known as Idomaland. Comrade Agada consistent support for the carnival which has been of immeasurable value to the rapidly growing stature of the event, Agada further enthused that the Ogbadibo people had played significant roles in the social, political and economic history of Benue State.
