Historic Facts: A Look At The Seven Wonders Of The World[Ever Heard Of Them?]

The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, built between 2584 and 2561 BC is the only  ancient wonder of the world still in existence

Today I came across an article on Daily Mail about how most Britons can only name one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and it caught my interest. First because growing up, I've always been fascinated with the ancient wonders of the world, and the article brought back secondary memory memories. Secondly, I wondered how many educated Nigerians know anything about the worlds ancient wonders talk more of the uneducated ones. In fact, many young people of today will probably ask "how does the wonders of the world affect the price of garri in the market?" or "how does it make me richer?"
Well, truth is no knowledge is ever lost. And as is the norm here on d Grapevyne, to mix things up and help make readers be more knowledgeable, I present to you this article about the ancient and modern wonders of the world.

R-E-V-E-A-L-E-D! Over 2 Decades Old Lagos Prostitution Camp Where Under-aged Girls Are Recruited As $ex Slaves

In a very heart wrenching and insightful report by Segun Ajiboye of The Nation, the operations of a Lagos based prostitution ring has been brought to light. The detailed report is very explanatory. See it below:

MARTHA is a 15-year-old girl endowed with beauty. But she faces a very bleak future as she is held captive in a brothel in Gbagada, a suburb of Lagos, where she has to sleep with men old enough to be her father and surrender her entire earnings to a woman designated as her aunty. In return, the aunty gives Martha a sum she deems sufficient to cater for her basic needs.
The more than two decades old brothel is located close to Sawmill Bus-stop in Gbagada. In it resides a cartel of mature prostitutes called aunties, to whom younger girls like Martha are responsible. The older prostitutes act as guardians to the younger ones aged between 14 and 19 years. Most of the girls are said to have been lured to Lagos from Edo and Delta states by their aunties. With a promise of the good life, the girls follow the aunties to Lagos only to be lured into prostitution.
