Hundreds of people flocked to the Tasman sea, in Sydney, Australia to set a new world record for the largest nude ocean swim.
Over 700 participants (men and women) stripped naked to protest against the new body image conformity and enjoy a good swim at the beach.
The event is used to raise money for Australis’s national parks.
Daily Mail reports:
Proud: One reveller strides out of the water after a 900m swim to grab his towel and head to the live music

Starting at 8am, the revellers deposited their clothes on the beach before swimming 900 metres around the diamond-shaped Middle Head island by Sydney’s coast.
Some took to the waves excitedly with messages painted on their behinds, while some slipped out of their towels at the very last minute.

Speaking ahead of the event, one skinny dipper said: ‘We are born naked. who cares who sees your body – be naked with nature for a great cause. The more the merrier…’
Another wrote on the online event page: ‘I’m quite shy and I have never swam naked before. But there is no embarrassment – it will be great fun.’
After the event, the bathers donned their clothes and headed to a festival arena, where there was live music to celebrate their feat.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations.

THE ENDURING LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: Chief James Ibori Celebrated for His Impact on Delta State

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent.

This reaction was so profound that even Senator George Akume and Governor Obaseki could not hide their astonishment. The enthusiastic reception for Chief James Ibori during this solemn occasion highlighted his enduring legacy among the people of Delta State.
