The Gorilla who walks around on two legs

It's a known fact that gorillas share close to 95% of their DNA with humans. But it seems Ambam the Silverback may have found the other five - as he swaggers around his enclosure like a man. The 18-second clip, shot at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent, shows the hulking ape walking upright on his hind legs, and has become an internet sensation. - Daily Mail UK

"I was taught by my dad not to be a follower," Onwuhara once said.

A luxury suite at the W Hotel in Dallas is as good a place as any to conquer the world. At least it seemed that way in 2007 when Tobechi Onwuhara got the crew together. They'd meet there often, seven or eight of them. Some had nicknames from the Ian Fleming lexicon: C, Q, and E. Others were called Mookie, Orji, Uche. They would spread out on designer sofas and at the wet bar, open three-ring binders, and fire up laptops with hard-to-trace wireless cards. On a nearby table there'd be prepaid cellphones with area codes taped to them. A phone for Southern California. A phone for Northern Virginia. A phone for any place Onwuhara had found the "good money."

Nigeria's president told to reduce ministries

President Goodluck Jonathan thanked the panel for the report

Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has been told by a key advisory panel to cut government's running costs.

The chair of the Presidential Advisory Council, Theophilus Danjuma, said ministries should be cut or merged to free money for development schemes. The budget proposed for 2011 shows Nigeria would spend far more on the government than on infrastructure.

Nigeria is Africa's leading oil producer, but the majority of its 150 million people still live in poverty. Parliamentarians' salaries are not made public in Nigeria, but diplomats say the country's politicians are among the best paid in the world.

The male beauty contest judged by women

Male beauty contest dancers

1. Tall and athletic: Ostrich plumes and pompoms emphasize height
2. Narrow face: Decorated with red ochre
3. Wide eyes: Black eyeliner made from charred egret bones
4. Facial symmetry: Enhanced with black, yellow and white patterns
5. Aquiline nose: White clay arrow stripe to look more streamlined
6. Long braids and cowrie shells: Symbolize fertility and wealth
7. White and regular teeth: Bared and emphasised with black lipstick
8. Good dancer: Beaded necklaces and bodices jangle against chest in time to the beat

But this beauty contest has a twist - the men dress up, the women pick the winners. What does the Wodaabe people's pageant tell us about male beauty?

Tall, slim, facial symmetry and good teeth - this could be the universal tick list of a beauty pageant judge. And when the contestants are men, their faces painted with red, white and yellow clay, the aesthetic holds true.

These unusual beauty contests, known as Gerewol, celebrate the fertility the rains bring to the parched edge of the Sahara. Filmed for the BBC's Human Planet, Niger's Wodaabe men decorate their faces and dance for hours to impress female judges

And guess what is the winning prize? You will know when you continue!
