Which Bond is the baddest?

Over the course of six decades and 24 films, Ian Fleming's legendary character James Bond has become synonymous with drinking martinis, sleeping with women and shooting anyone who gets in his way. Now, to mark the release of Spectre, MailOnline compiled the number of kills, sexual partners and martinis drunk by each of the six Bonds to have played the famous character. Which actor is your favourite? Mine is Roger Moore...by far! 

 

  

The results show George Lazenby's 007 averaged the highest number of sexual partners. Although he only starred in one film - 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service - he slept with three women.

Sean Connery averaged 2.66 sexual conquests across six films, placing him second in this category.

Coming last in both the number of kills and sexual partners, it would appear Daniel Craig's portrayal of Bond marks a shift away from the womanizing of his predecessors.

Craig's recent suggestion Bond is 'sexist', 'misogynistic' and 'very lonely' would appear to reflect his portrayal.

Across the three movies (not including Spectre) which he has played 007, he averaged just 1.33 sexual partners a film - placing him last on the list of womanizing Bonds.

But where Craig did prove to be quintessential Bond was in the number of martinis consumed, He came tied in first place with Lazenby, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan as drinking one 'shaken, not stirred' martini in every film.

Perhaps surprisingly, Connery averaged just 0.5 martinis across the six films he starred in, while Roger Moore, who portrayed Bond seven times, could only muster a paltry 0.28.

Finally, those wondering which Bond has the most blood on their hands are left in no doubt - Pierce Brosnan's 007 massacred 21.25 people per film.

In second place was Moore, with 7.71, followed by Connery, on 7.33. In last place was Craig, whose 007 makes an average of 2.66 kills per film.

'I've not been sacked from office' - Rivers Assembly speaker says

Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani whose election into the Rivers State House of Assembly was nullified by the state Election Tribunal on Monday October 26th, says he remains the speaker of the state assembly.

Speaking with newsmen at the state house of assembly complex yesterday, Ibani said his election was only nullified and that he was not sacked from office as speaker. 

He and the other 20 PDP lawmakers whose elections were nullified, have asked their lawyers to appeal the election tribunal ruling.

“I heard in the news that the Speaker and 20 others have been sacked by the election tribunal. But this is not true. No member of the Assembly, not even the Speaker, has been sacked.

 The lower tribunal gave judgment… In their judgment, they argued that there should be a rerun within 90 days. The judicial process in Nigeria is that when a lower court gives its judgment, you can proceed to a higher court. That is why we have asked our lawyers to appeal the matter immediately.”he said

FG rejects ranking of Port Harcourt airport as worst in the world

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has rejected a recent ranking by SleepingInAirports.net which rated the Port Harcourt International Airport in Rivers State as the worst airport in the world.

A statement issued on Tuesday October in Lagos by Mr Yakubu Dati, FAAN's General Manager, Corporate Affairs, disagreed with the ranking and said the organization that carried out the rating exercise failed to take into consideration the fact that the Port Harcourt airport is presently undergoing some re-modelling which will invariably cause passengers and operators in the airport some discomfort. 

The statement in part reads ;

“Our stand is that the said ranking was unfounded as it did not take cognisance of the fact that the airport terminal was still undergoing remodeling. Some of its terminal operations are still conducted in a temporary structure.

 Apart from this, construction work is also in progress at the site of the new international terminal. We believe that operations at such an airport where construction work is going on simultaneously with normal flight and related operations cannot be as conducive as in those airports where there are no on-going construction projects. 

Neither can environments at such different scenarios be equally clean, We wish to assure all passengers, airline operators and other airport users that services at our airports are delivered at recommended international standards that ensure safety, security and comfort. 

While we regret any inconvenience experienced at these airports, including Port Harcourt International Airport, due to on-going construction projects, we promise that services at these airports will surely get better at the completion of these projects".

There's a judicial gang-up against Governor Wike- media aide alleges

The Special Adviser to the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike on media and publicity, Opunabo Nko-Tariah says the nullification of Wike's April 11th election and the Supreme courts dismissal of Wike's suit against the relocation of the state election tribunal, can best be described as a judicial gang up against Wike.

 Nko-Tariah said this in a statement he released yesterday

"What is going on right now can best be described as judicial gang-up against Governor Wike, and the people of Rivers State. It is an affront on democracy and a blight disregard for the will of the people as evinced in the April 11 general elections.

 The courts are setting pernicious precedents by hinging their verdicts on inane points. Rivers people overwhelmingly gave their mandate to Governor Wike but a microscopic few want to wrest that mandate from him through the back door” the statement read.

Pro-Boxer claims he was drugged and can't remember a thing after video emerges of him having sex with two men

A 35 year old professional boxer and father-of-ten Yusaf Mack, whose xrated porn video was put on a gay subscription website claims that he was drugged and does not remember having sex with two men but admits to agreeing to take part in the porn film and getting paid $4,500 for it.

Mack who has fought several world champions and is known as the 'Mack Attack', has chosen to speak out and defend his heterosexuality after he was identified as one of the men in the explicit film, which appears to have been online since December 2014.

'My whole life, I've been what they call a whoremonger. I love females,' Mack told Philly.com.

'The only time I touch a man is when I'm in the ring fighting.'

 Mack who is engaged to a woman admits that he agreed to take part in a porno because he needed the money.

Mack's saga began earlier this year when someone reached out to him on Facebook and asked if he would be willing to be in a porn flick.

 Since he was retired from boxing and short on cash, Mack decided to do it.

Sometime in June,  Mack boarded a train to New York City and made his way to an address in the Bronx. Once inside the apartment where the filming was to take place, he noticed a number of naked women walking around.

"I think, 'It's about to go down.' I needed a drink or something," He said. "They gave me a pill and a shot of vodka. I took the pill down with the vodka."

The next thing he can recall is being on a train at 30th Street Station and someone telling him to wake up.

"I don't remember getting on the train," he said.

But Mack did later notice that he had $4,500 tucked inside his pocket.

He pretty much forgot about the encounter until Oct. 16, when he was on his way to his grandmother's Gold Coast Lounge, at 40th Street and Lancaster Avenue, and noticed people behaving strangely toward him.

"I'm wondering why everybody is walking past me and not speaking to me," Mack told me.

One of his friends pulled him aside and told him about the video snippet, in which Mack's doing all kinds of things and Mack denied that it was him.

"I don't know what y'all are talking about," he told people. "That ain't me. "I don't remember that."

Eventually his friends convinced him it was indeed him on the video. Mack said he had never actually seen it. But he does remember agreeing to do porn and getting on a train to New York City.

Still a ferocious fighter, he wants to go after whoever it was that got him into this predicament, but he said his memory is fuzzy.

 

A Facebook page that he met his porn contact through is inaccessible because he forgot his password. He has since established another page.

Mack retired in 2014 after losing a six-round bout against Cory Cummings of Newark, N.J., according to thaboxingvoice.com.

Since then, he's tried to forge ahead with his life. He said his goal was to be "a better father to my kids." His children range in age from 3 to 21. Some of them have had questions about the video.

"I'm just hurt right now," he said. "I can't really sleep at night, but I'm getting by. . . . Everybody thinks I'm going to hurt myself. I've got to stay strong for my children."

"All my real friends who really know me, know I like females," Mack added. "I'm still me. You've got to realize that the ones that are not really talking to me are the ones that probably have skeletons in their closets."

Echo Hawk, who manages another boxer's career, said Mack should seize this moment in the spotlight.

"I think he should take advantage of the situation at hand . . . love him or hate him, people are gonna pay to see him so he will get the last laugh," she wrote on Facebook. "I am a Yusaf Mack fan and I will continue to support his career! We all fall as humans, and sometimes as professionals - I'd hope for the same mercy should I ever fall from what the world sees as 'grace.'

Abacha's loot is too huge for us to handle - World Bank

The World Bank has asked for more time to provide a detailed report on the loot of former military dictator, Sani Abacha, saying the loot is too huge for it to handle.

 The World Bank said this in response to a request by civil society group, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) asking for a comprehensive document detailing all the loots of the former military dictator which is estimated at $11.3 billion and stashed in foreign banks.

“In response to your request, we would like to inform you that we are still considering your request and we will need additional time because the money involved is too huge for us to handle.” World bank says

The World Bank added that although it takes just 20 working days to respond to such requests, under special cases, it could take longer time.
