Hilarity! Colombian cycling team step out in the worst sports kit ever seen

Lol. This is too funny. Colombian female cycling team unveiled their new sports kit over the weekend and it looks like they are all on their periods and those are pads. The poor ladies, cycling in the Giro Toscana this week, probably didn't see anything wrong with their red and yellow kit until it was shared over a 50,000 times on Twitter.



The nude-coloured cloth used around the groin area, giving the ladies camel toe, has caused a lot of debate online. "Worst designed garment of clothing in the history of the human race.” someone wrote



"Extraordinary that someone would design it and even more extraordinary that any woman would wear it!! :-)” Another person wrote



People are also wondering if it's an innocent oversight by an over-enthusiastic designer or done for publicity for the team. Is this sports kit embarrassing? See another pic after the cut..

Abuja prostitute bags 100 days imprisonment for stealing customer's $500k

A 23 year old prostitute named Rosemary Ebikeme has been sentenced to 100 days in prison by an Abuja court for stealing a customer's $3,200 (about N500,000).



The senior magistrate, Abdulahi Ilaleh, of Life Camp Senior magistrate’s court, Abuja, convicted Rosemary after she pleaded guilty to a one-count charge, however, gave her an option of N5,000 fine.



Ilaleh cautioned the convict to desist from the crime, saying that the sentence would serve as a deterrent to others. Continue...





Prosecutor Ona Odigiri had told the court that on September 4 one Aleixandre Sachir of Tack Continental Estate, Life Camp, reported the matter to Life Camp Police Station. The prosecutor further told the court that the complainant met the convict in a cinema hall and took her to Waxride Hotel. He said the convict stole $3,200 from the complainant on September 2 and eloped.



Odigiri said that when the convict came back to complain on September 4, she was apprehended and handed over to the police. The convict, however, pleaded guilty to the charge and begged the court to temper justice with mercy. She said: “Please have mercy on me; I am a student and I am only looking for money to pay my school fees. I stole the money to do business so that I will stop selling my body for money. Please forgive me. “I stole the money from him, even though he paid me N5,000 for my service, please have mercy in God’s name.”



The prosecutor said the offence contravened Section 288 of the Penal Code Law.
