Tallest Man in Brazil Finally Finds Love

A 7ft 8in tall man, who was so embarrassed by his height, he hid at home for ‘half his life’ has found love with a woman three feet smaller than him…

Joelison Fernandes da Silva, 28, developed a condition known as gigantism, as a child and his abnormal height forced him to drop out of school due to bullying and then refuse to leave the family house for years.
The young Brazilian, who still hasn’t stopped growing, had to be put on monthly injections and four types of daily medication to control his condition – Somehow got the confidence to face society and was one day crowned the tallest man in Brazil, which sort of made him a celebrity in his town…
But like they say, love knows no bound, so he found true happiness, when he met Evem Medeiros, a 5ft 21-year-old woman he met online – Evem, contacted him on Facebook to wish him happy birthday and they swapped numbers before starting a committed relationship two months later.
The pair who are now happily married are already trying for a baby…
Cool uh????

We Are Celebrities Not Illuminati – Kanye West

For as long as I can remember there has been this theory that most American celebrities are Illuminati – Well, Kanye West has laughed off that notion as totally ridiculous and untrue – He revealed this, in an interview in the new edition of PAPER Magazine – West, spoke out about music streaming service Tidal, insisting that the site is not part of a conspiratorial shadow government known as the Illuminati.

In his interview, the rapper cum desgner said that he heard a comment likening the Tidal relaunch press conference to the Illuminati.
Jay Z acquired Swedish music streaming company Aspiro, in March for $56 million, and relaunched its Tidal streaming service with a star-studded press conference in New York. Stars like Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Jack White, Madonna and Daft Punk all showed up to support the new streaming site.
However, some folks have dubbed the press conference as a meeting of the Illuminati, even Twitter users joked that it was “the closest we are getting to an Illuminati meet with our faves.”
West, reacting to this said:

“if there was actually an Illuminati, it would be more like the energy companies.” He goes on to say that musicians are merely “pinpointed as decoys for people who really run the world. I’m tired of people pinpointing musicians as the Illuminati. That’s ridiculous. We don’t run anything; we’re celebrities.”

Bobbi Kristine is Completely Unresponsive – Cissy Houston

Bobbi Kristina grandmother, Cissy Houston has said that her granddaughter is suffering from irreversible global brain damage and is completely unresponsive … However, Bobbi Brown, had said his daughter had woken up from coma and even his sister took to Facebook to confirm what had brother had said – But Whitney Houston’s mom says the Browns are lying…

Here is a report by TMZ:

Cissy tells TMZ, “Meeting with the doctors and understanding that she can live in this condition for a lifetime truly saddens me.”
She squarely contradicts Bobby Brown, who claims Bobbi is off life support and somewhat responsive.
Cissy tells us, “I have just returned from visiting my granddaughter Bobbi Kristina in the hospital and while she is no longer in a medically induced coma she has a tracheotomy and according to the doctors she has global and irreversible brain damage and remains unresponsive.”
Bobbi Kristina’s grandma has faint hope, telling us, “We can only trust in God for a miracle at this time. Keep us in your prayers.”
It’s unclear why the families are so divided.

I really don’t understand why there are different reports from her family – One says she’s awake and another says no she isn’t – Why????

Woman Hires Assasins to Kill Husband

A 57-year-old man, Solomon Fasade, has pleaded with an Iyana-Ipaja Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his 17-year-old marriage to Abosede.
Mr Fasade, who lives in Ayobo, a Lagos suburb, is accusing his wife of waywardness and threatening his life.
He claimed that she brought another man to their house.
“Two years after I was robbed, I later got to know my wife arranged armed robbers to my house and went as far as asking them to kill me,” he said.
When the court’s President, Mrs Shalewa Banjoko, asked him how he got to know this, he said: “It was a neighbour who told me the insect that eats up a leaf lives on the leaf. I was confused and shocked.”
The defendant, Mrs Fasade (43), said the only reason her husband thinks she is a flirt is because she sells alcoholic drinks.
“I sell alcoholic drinks in front of my husband’s house but I am not an harlot,” she said.
She said she never planned to kill her husband.
“I will never kill him because he has been responsible for the upkeep of the children I had from my previous marriage. If it was my intention, I would have succeeded in doing so because I cook for him and we sleep together on the same bed. I will never do such. I still need my husband because he is a good man,” Mrs Fasade said.
Banjoko ordered the couple to be peaceful and adjourned the matter till Thursday.

About 6,000 Nigerian MTN Workers Would Be Jobless Should MTN Leave Nigeria

Following the ongoing xenophobic attack on black foreigners resident in South Africa by some South Africans, some Nigerians are asking that South African companies in Nigeria be made to vacate Nigeria – Well, reacting to a protest by a group in Edo state yesterday that MTN offices in Nigeria will be closed – Head of Communications MTN, Mr Wale Goodluck said, 6,000 Nigerians will loose their jobs should MTN be made to leave – Read hsi reaction below:

“So if people go ahead with their threats to attack our facilities, what that means is that we may be forced to close down the business in Nigeria and about 6,000 Nigerians that make up 99% of our workforce will be unemployed.
Then, when you look at our support chain, we have about 500,000 Nigerians gainfully employed. So, boycotting our services simply means destroying so many other Nigerian businesses and making over 500,000 other Nigerians to lose their jobs. This business supports a lot of businesses across the length and breadth of Nigeria. Many of the businesses that are affiliated to South Africa are in the retail space, supporting the growth of Nigeria and employing so many Nigerians. We see no revenge of Xenophobia and we commend the role the Nigerian High Commissioner in South Africa has played; at least there has been no fatality on the part of any Nigerian.”
