PHOTO: World's Most Expensive T-Shirt Costs 14.2 Million Naira

French luxury brand Hermès, makers of the famous Birkin bag is known for its outrageous prices, so to those familiar with the brand, the new crocodile leather t-shirt which sells for 91,500 USD in Hermès boutiques doesn't come as a surprise.
The brand is also responsible for some of the  world's priciest bags. Last year, a solid-gold Birkin bag made to look like crocodile skin was priced at $1,980,034.
In 2011, a rare Birkin bag, also made of crocodile skin and featuring an 18-karat white gold and diamond clasp, sold at an auction to an anonymous bidder for $203,150.
Three other crocodile Birkins at that auction sold for $113,525; $95,000 and just over $80,000.

Yinka Ayefele – “If you think I’m impotent, bring your sister”

Many people still don’t believe that Gospel musician Yinka Ayefele, who had a fatal accident years back, can perform the duty of a husband in terms of procreation. But the Ibadan based singer shocked many people, when he got married and started raring children. Yinka said, “Doctors would tell you that my case is very special and rare; my case is one of a thousand cases. There are some things I may not want to say here but... "I challenge those who still don’t believe me that I can perform to come with their sisters to prove the point.
