A disgraceful man has left tongues wagging after he was caught red-handed on CCTV bending down and using his phone to take half-n*ked photo of a woman inside a supermarket. 

< A frustrated Lagos resident who had been ill for over 36 years, has revealed his decision to end his life by attempting to jump into the lagoon from the 3rd Mainland Bridge. 

A 58-year-old man, Joseph Onweji, who recently attempted to commit suicide, has finally broken his silence over his decision to end it all by attempting to jump into the lagoon from the popular 3rd Mainland Bridge at Oworoshoki area of Lagos State.

  While speaking in an exclusive interview with New Telegraph, Onweji, a resident at Iju-Ishaga area of the state, who attempted to take his life on Monday, said he had been ill for over 36 years, adding that the sickness used to make him uncomfortable, restless and sleepless.   “I became afflicted with the mysterious illness after I visited the site, where I was building my house. I have been sick for a long time. This illness started when I was just 22 years old. I was building a two-bedroom flat at Ibadan.

“On one occasion, when I visited my site, I noticed that unknown people abandoned plywood in front of my doorstep. Later that day, when I was taking my bath, I felt a burning sensation on my body.

“I felt really hot. I couldn’t sleep for days. Since that day, I have been feeling restless. I can’t even sleep. I spent two months at a Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba, where I received all sorts of treatments. The doctors were unable to cure me of the illness.

“On that day, about noon, I went to the Third Mainland Bridge. I was about to jump when RRS men saved me. They took me to Alausa, Ikeja. They asked me why I wanted to commit suicide; I told them I was sick,” he said.

  When asked why he hadn’t killed himself years ago, he said: “For anyone to kill himself, is not an easy task. If it is easy, I would have done long ago,” Onweji who has since been reunited with his wife and children, said.

 

Olatunji Disu, the Commander of the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad (RRS), who earlier confirmed the rescue of the suicidal man, said some RRS men were on a regular patrol of the 3rd Mainland Bridge when a roving mechanic drew their attention to a lone man standing by the edge of the bridge and looking into the Lagoon curiously.

A new research has revealed certain things about how much people's height affects them in the long run. 

Using virtual reality to reduce volunteers’ heights, Oxford University researchers found they were more likely to think other people were staring at them or talking about them on a computer-generated train. Professor Daniel Freeman said, “We know people behave in VR as they do in real life.” But what else does your height say about you? Today we check the evidence.

 

1. Longer lives 

 

Studies show that shorter people live longer. Recent research analysing the lives of 500 males born between 1866-1915 on the Italian island of Sardinia showed those below 5ft 4in lived an average two years longer than taller men. The study suggested the reasons included lower DNA damage, greater cell replacement potential and greater efficiency of heart-pumping. Other studies show shorter women live longer too.

 

2. Intelligence 

 

Taller people are likely to be more intelligent, according to several studies. Research in 2006 at Princeton University found “as early as three… taller children perform significantly better in cognitive tests”. Last year a team at the University of Colorado found that the link between height and intelligence was down to breeding. They showed that clever people are likely to choose taller people as partners — and vice versa.   3. Money 

 

Researchers at the University of Sydney compared the wage packets of 20,000 people using indicators including weight and height, and found increased height translated into more cash on average.

 

4. Ambition

 

Shorter women are less ambitious, say academics at St Andrews and Stirling universities. They found they are more likely to start a family than focus on their career. Clinical psychologist Dr Miriam Law Smith said: “Men across are taller than women and height must therefore be an indicator of greater physical masculinity. The physiology of the body controls the psychology of the mind.”

  5. Better life partners 

 

Tall men earn more, are brighter and have more kids — but shorter blokes make better husbands. A study asked women to pick their ideal height difference for both short and long-term relationships from couple photos. The findings, published in Biological Psychology, found tall men were twice as popular for flings than for long-term relationships. Psychologist Dr Nick Neave said, “The real leaders of the pack tend to not be very nice people. You don’t want them around kids and they can be violent and leave you for someone else.”
