The global price increase of rice is deeply concerning, especially when we consider its effects on families worldwide. Rice is a staple food for millions of people, particularly in developing countries where it forms a significant portion of daily meals.
With rising prices, families are forced to allocate a larger portion of their already limited budgets towards purchasing rice. This leaves them with less money to spend on other essential needs, such as education, healthcare, and housing. For families living in poverty, this increase in prices can push them further into a cycle of deprivation and make it even more challenging to break free from the grip of poverty.
Moreover, the impact of higher rice prices is not limited to just the cost of purchasing the grain. It also affects the overall food security of households. When rice becomes more expensive, it can lead to a decrease in the quantity and quality of food consumed. Families may be compelled to reduce their rice intake or substitute it with cheaper, less nutritious alternatives. This can have serious consequences on the health and well-being of individuals, especially children and pregnant women who rely heavily on rice for their nutritional needs.
Furthermore, the global price increase of rice can have a cascading effect on economies and social stability.
Overall, the global price increase of rice poses significant challenges for families around the world, affecting their access to nutritious food, economic stability, and overall well-being.
Hope sex will eventually be acknowledged as a sport: Group in Sweden to hold a sex championship, each ‘match’ to last for 45-60 mins
The president of the Swedish Federation of Sex, Dragan Bratych, remarked that he hoped that sex will eventually be acknowledged as a sport.
Sweden to organise first-ever sex championship
The first-ever sex tournament is set to take place early next week in Sweden, by an organisation named “Swedish Federation of Sex”. Named the European Sex Championship, the competition is scheduled to take place on June 8 under the supervision of the organisation.
Participants in the championship will compete for six hours each day over the course of many weeks with individual ‘matches’ reportedly lasting 45 to 60 minutes. The competition will last several weeks and the competitors from different European countries will face off in 16 different disciplines to showcase their talents and abilities.
Participants to earn 5 to 10 points for different sex acts
The championship features a wide range of disciplines, including seduction, body massages, exploring erotic zones, prelude, oral sex, penetration, endurance, physical appearance, pose execution, creativity in position changes and the number of orgasms within a given time, artistic performance and pose transitions, and the capacity to raise blood pressure and heart rate during the competition.
Additional categories consist of the most exquisite and complicated position, the most creative communication as determined by a panel and spectators, the pair who exhibits the most activity, artistry in the Kamasutra, and popularity among the judges and viewers.
The competition is separated into three stages, with each level requiring a certain number of points in order to advance. Participants can earn between 5 and 10 points in each discipline, which is decided by a mix of public votes and a panel of five judges.
Competitors of any gender or sexual orientation welcomed
The European Sex Championship values diversity and accepts competitors of any gender or sexual orientation. The organisers emphasise the potential strategic value of sexual orientation in this sport, which they hope may eventually be adopted by other European nations.
The organiser stated, “The incorporation of sexual orientation as a part of sporting tactics will be a groundbreaking development among European countries.”
The president of the Swedish Federation of Sex, Dragan Bratych, remarked that he hoped that sex will eventually be acknowledged as a sport. He highlighted the likelihood of sexual engagement to promote both physical and mental well-being and the need for training. He voiced, “Just like any other sport, achieving desired results in sex requires training. Therefore, it is only logical for people to start competing in this domain as well.”
He stressed the distinctive features of this sport, where the goal is to give the opponent great pleasure. In contrast to traditional sports, when losing often results in disappointment, the competitor’s success in this game is determined by their capacity to satisfy their partner.
Other sports may demoralise rivals, but sex as a sport seeks to make everyone as happy as possible. According to Bratych, “The more pleasure your partner experiences, the more points you earn.”
As per the Swedish Sex Federation, sex as a sport is a challenging activity that calls for inventiveness, emotional intelligence, physical health, and work capacity. The federation’s president asserted that the competition regulations will change over time in response to developments and demands.
A similar bizarre incident had drawn huge ire in 2021 when students of a Roman Catholic college in Minnesota in the US were caught organising ‘sex competitions’ on the campuses. Reportedly, a group of students from St. John’s University, an all-male university, launched a competition to see who could lure the maximum number of female students from their sister school, the College of St. Benedict, an all-female college, and have the most sexual encounters with them. The competition was organised by students living in Saint Patrick Hall of St. John’s University.
Hundreds of students had then attended an outdoor demonstration and sit-in organized by the College of St. Benedict’s Institute for Women’s Leadership to protest against the alleged competition.

Christian student Deborah Samuel was lynched to death in Sokoto last year
In Nigeria’s Sokoto, a young Christian girl named Deborah Samuel was brutally lynched to death by her own classmates in May 2022.
In videos of the brutal mob lynching and burning that have gone viral, Deborah’s killers can be seen shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, showing off the matchbox with which they burned her battered corpse, and rejoicing in the violent deed.
The victim Deborah Samuel was a student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, in Sokoto State. Reports stated that a WhatsApp group was being used by Deborah and her fellow students where someone had shared an Islamic post. Deborah had reportedly objected to religious content being shared in the student group. Her response, however, was deemed ‘unIslamic’ and ‘blasphemous’ by her fellow students. The fellow students then attacked her chanting ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ and rejoiced as they lynched her to death and then set her battered corpse on fire.
Sokoto is under Sharia law, blasphemy is punishable by death
The Sokoto area is largely Muslim. Nigeria is divided into northern Muslim parts and southern Christian parts.
The Sokoto state is under Islamic Sharia law, like almost a dozen other Nigerian states. In Sokoto state, the crime of ‘blasphemy’ means the death penalty. The police often overlook such incidents and perpetrators get away with murder.
