Keere. Great Balogun of Ipara of all time.

After the demise of Oguola, there were many men of valour in Ipara and mention must be made of Balogun Keere, alias Ogbo ri Olori ka ri. Keere was a great warrior during the Yoruba internecine wars. He participated in the Ijaiye war, the Owiwi war, and the Egba wars with Remo people. He was not just an ordinary warrior. He had affinity for wars and this made him to be hired by other neighbouring Yoruba towns like Ibadan, Oyo, Ijesa etc. to help in their various internecine wars. Keere was so powerful in Juju that if he was beheaded in the battle, he would pick whichever head near him and put it where his own head was severed. After the battle he would look for his own original head and replaced it. This was why he was called “O GB’ ORI OLORI KA RI” meaning, someone who puts another man’s head on his neck. Keere had the power to command the mother-earth to open up, create a vacuum, and in this vacuum he would ask the Ipara people to enter for protection from attackers. (The people went into the vacuum, and Keere would command the vacuum to close up and the people were saved . At the close of the war, Keere will command the mother earth to open and the Ipara people who were kept inside would come out all safe and sound). The site where this feat took place in Ipara town is still recognised by the Ipara people till today. The site where the Ipara people were kept under the mother earth is called OLODORU in Ipara township today.

Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the jungle, but crocodiles rule the river. At least most of the time. That wasn’t the case in a video shared by Kruger Sightings the other day. It shows a young lion crossing a river and getting blindsided by a crocodile. A woman in the background can be heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my God,” just before the inevitable. But it has a happy ending: A happy ending for the lion, that is. The crocodile’s next meal would have to wait. The footage was captured by a tourist while standing on the H10 bridge near the Lower Sabie River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. “All we can say is, lions should always look both [ways] before crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings said on Facebook

Amber Rose Sex video

American model, recording artist, actress, socialite and former stripper Amber Rose has been caught up in a sex tape video scandal made before she gave the stripper lifestyle up and after hooking up with Wiz Khalifa generating the Amber Rose sex tape video buzz. The video that is said to feature a man that looks stunningly like Kim Kardashian’s current man Kanye West features the two in a fancy hotel with Amber showing her stripper skills in full detail. She starts off giving the “un-known” male oral for a bit then proceeds to let him hit it from behind all recorded by the male featured in the video for approximately 25min. The funny thing is that right in the middle of the two going at it another girl comes over out of no where and starts kissing on Amber and holds what appears to be a joint for her while the guy never misses a beat and is said to overall be a great video. Calls to Amber’s reps have gone un-returned though she has gone on record stating ...
