SHOCKER: This 15-Year-Old Boy Was Exchanged For Two Bags Of Rice.

This is so shocking!!! A 15-year old boy, Seun Aderinwale was successfully exchanged for two bags of rice valued at N20,000 on Monday by a yet-be-identified man.

The incident happened at Igando in Alimosho area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that the man had gone to purchase 2 bags of rice from a shop owned by one Iya Ibrahim but he didn't have money so he proposed to drop Seun, an aluminium apprentice, as collateral and return later to pay. Iya Ibrahim was not available that time so her son Ibrahim who was in the shop agreed to the proposal.

She was surprised to find Seun in her shop when she returned later to learn about the exchange. The 15-year-old boy was held hostage as the unidentified man failed to show up until later in the evening when the pastor of his church, a Celestial Church of Christ around the area, saw him at the shop looking despondent.

He was later freed after the pastor, known simply as Oluso in the neighborhood, settled the matter. He asked the shop owner to take responsibility for one of the stolen bags of rice while Seun’s father, a co-worker with him in the church, should pay for the other bag of rice.

When Seun was questioned on how he met the fraudster, he said he did not know the man’s house or have other information about him as he met him casually at Hotel Bus Stop about 300 metres to his residence where a church member had sent him on an errand to play lotto, popularly known as “Baba Ijebu”.

MEET 69cm Man, Who Was In Guinnes Book As Smallest Man In The World [PHOTOS]

Meet Edward Hernandez, 28, his dream is to own a country farm, have a girlfriend, and drive a Jeep.



It's not a huge dream, but for Edward, who lives in one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Colombia's capital city of Bogota, relies on his parents for everything, and stands at just 27 inches tall, it might as well involve building a castle made of diamonds on the moon.

Until 2009, Edward and his family lived in relative obscurity. He had been angry and depressed as a child when he didn't grow while the other children or his siblings did, but he was beginning to accept his fate.



He mostly stayed indoors to avoid the constant battle of people picking him up and 'kids asking silly questions', but he and his family were content running his mother Noami's textile business above their house.

Their only fear was whether or not they mollycoddled him, and whether he would ever be able to cope alone if he needed his younger brothers' help even to go to the bathroom.



Indeed, as one said: "He can't go around by himself. He'd go missing. People pick him up as if he's a toy. And then, oof! we've lost Edward."

But then, in 2010, He Pingping, the world's smallest man, died in China, and the Guinness World Records people came calling.

They measured him, and made him the new record-holder. Overnight, Edward became a superstar, hoisted onto the shoulders of the world's media and bounced into the spotlight.



"I was so happy I almost cried," he said. "I was the shortest man in the world. The only one smaller than all the other kids."

A keen dancer, he was thrust onto Colombian TV wearing sparkly little suits and shimmied his way to stardom. He appeared on national chat shows and was paid well for his appearances.

He was given free medical care and operations for the myriad complaints he'd had since birth, sometimes in exchange for publicity and campaign backing. He even met the Colombian president at his palace.







His mother said: "He's happy being surrounded by an audience that responds to him. It makes him feel special.

But when the fuss is over he feels empty and alone. He's sad and unsettled."

Edward now works with his friend Pablo in shopping malls, selling himself on still being 'the smallest man in the world'. They make about £50 a day each.

Edward still lives in the moment, but is stuck between being an adult and looking like a child, and never sure which he is.

But, smiling, he says: "I like being both a kid and an adult. That way everyone likes me. They pick me up and kiss me. And they take me on trips."

Meet Gabrielle Bambii, An Aspiring Model Who Fell Victim Of Domestic Violence

This is a true life story and the lady you see in this picture, aspiring Victoria's secret model and actress Gabriella, is still in hospital and needs prayers.



The wickedness in the hearts of some men, who are supposed to be our lovers, husbands, who are supposed to protect us can be mind blowing! Please, do not allow yourself be a victim, ladies. Please!!!



Read Gabriella's story plus see her pictures before her abusive boyfriend beat her up and left her for dead
after the cut

Quote

  This night be a little graphic but I just want to let everyone know that I am okay. I am a survivor of domestic violence with a boy I dated for 8 months.

    I really thought everything was fine but he constantly questioned me about cheating and flirting. Non sense. I never looked at someone the way he looked at me. Thought I loved this boy.

    How can someone that 'loves' me do this to me? The scars on my chest are way worse and extend down to my right chest, completely scarred. The skin on my shoulder has been completely skinned. And i have bruising on my rib cage, neck, and my muscles. I was kicked out of a moving vehicle, then beaten and dragged, as I blacked out and was left lying there in my own puddle of blood.

    Doctors said I could have died if I had not made it when I did. I am so blessed and beyond lucky to be alive and have so much support from friends, family, and strangers. As I try to recover, I ask you to please keep me in your prayers. I have to wear a neck brace for 3-4 weeks, an arm cast and I can barely walk for now. Thank you for all the love. I hope to be an inspiration to women and anyone involved in domestic violence.

Incredible! The Ethiopian Tribes Who Use BUTTER To Style Their Hair - Photos

Whether you use serums, oil or gels, for most of us, lovely locks are an everyday essential. But for the Afar tribe who live along Ethiopia’s northeastern border with Djibouti and Eritrea, the pursuit of a gorgeous ‘do involves one very unusual ingredient.

Their distinctive ‘asdago’ afro hairstyle is created using butter, which lends their locks a slightly ashy appearance as well as protecting it from the sun and keeping it perfectly supple.



And it’s not just asdago hairdos that benefit from a spot of butter: another look, the ‘dayta’, also relies on dairy as a means of keeping the elaborate curls, created using a stick, in place.

‘They apply the butter to keep the curls in place,’ explains photographer Eric Lafforgue. ‘They look a little bit like Victorian ladies, or, if you prefer, Rastas. The curls are full of cow fat and butter.’

‘They put so much that it streams down the back and looks a lot like blood.’ To keep the look tidy, regular haircuts are also on offer, although as Lafforgue explains, they aren’t of the type found in a high street salon.

‘They take a stone and a knife to cut them with,’ he explains. ‘A few minutes and it is done!’

Punch Reporter Blasts Tiwa Savage, Says She Was Irrelevant While She Was In UK

Mavin Records’ first lady, Tiwa Savage, used to live in the UK before she returned to Nigeria. Of course, over there, she was relatively unknown. She once participated in the UK’s X factor. It didn’t get her the desired fame. Tiwa was still irrelevant while she was there and therefore wouldn’t have dared to assault a UK policeman.

However, when Tiwa came back to Nigeria, her talents blew up. She became recognized, got signed under one of the leading record labels, bagged endorsement deals here and there and became a popular face. Of course, she joined the league of the A-list acts that now laugh all the way to the bank.

Now, Tiwa can afford to assault a Nigerian policeman as alleged.

It was reported earlier in the week that the pretty singer was whisked away by the police for allegedly humiliating a policeman who apprehended her for violating traffic rules.

Those who were there claimed Tiwa got down from her car and angrily removed the man’s beret.

Not just a few condemned the alleged attitude. Tiwa may have lost some of her fans over the incident.

    “Tiwa Savage is a disappointment for daring to remove a policeman’s cap. What point was she trying to make by such a crude act? Does she know that she is a role model to many, by virtue of being a star, and that her irresponsible behaviour goes far beyond the confines of her abode? I hope she realises her mistake and apologises to the police as well as her fans,” a fan said.

Exposed: See How Sanusi Maneuvered His Way to Cover Up Multiple Billion Fraud

When the Financial Reporting Council Report was sent to Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi on June 25, 2013, he’s fully aware that the game is over.

He allegedly brewed up his NNPC allegations to divert Nigerians attention from him by writing the president on September 27, 2013.

He succeeded in deceiving some, but his frauds can NEVER be covered.

Here are few of his fraudulent activities exposed by FRC audit

1] He donated N1b to BUK, Kano and wrote that he donated N4 million.

Operated Bogus Expense Heads To Hide Fraudulent Activities

… CBN Has Held An Account With A Balance Of N1.423 Billion For An Unknown Customer Since 2008.

Following Thursday’s suspension of Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Governor of the Central Bank by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, THEWILL has exclusively obtained a copy of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report that ripped apart the 2012 audited financial statement of the apex bank and exposed the fraud, excesses and wastefulness of Sanusi and the CBN.

Sanusi had over the years projected an image of an anti-graft banker, activist, reformer and crusader against graft and waste in government, as well as the financial sector. Weeks before his ouster as CBN Governor, Mr. Sanusi had accused the NNPC of failing to remit billions of dollars in oil revenue to the federation account, a claim which the NNPC has continued to dispute.

The 13-page Council report emanated following Sanusi’s response to a query issued him in early 2013 by President Goodluck Jonathan over the apex bank’s alarming reckless donations nationwide and its finances.

Whilst describing Sanusi’s response to the President’s query as “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts…”, the Council accused the suspended banker of several violations including but not limited to carrying out activities with financial implications that are not related to the CBN’s mandate, especially billions of naira in ambiguous payments to invoices referred to as “Centre of Excellence” and “Contribution to Internal National Security”, and the CBN’s claim that it paid N38.233 billion to the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Plc in 2011 for the “printing of bank notes” whereas the turnover of the entire printing and minting company group is N29.370 billion.

The Council also accused Sanusi of rogue payments as air charter fees to Emirates Airways (N0.511b), Associated Airline (N1.025b) and Wing Airline (N0.425b), for the distribution of currency nationwide whereas Emirates does not operate local charter flights within Nigeria, Wing Air is unregistered in Nigeria with the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and Associated Airlines did not have a billion naira turnover in 2011 and have no financial statements because the company said it had not had any significant operation in two years to warrant preparing a financial statement.

In lieu of the serious misconduct it found against Sanusi and the leadership of the CBN, the Council urged the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by “Section 11 (2) (f) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007 or invoke Section 11 (2) (c) of the said Act and cause the Governor and the Deputy Governors to cease from holding office in the CBN and also direct the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria to carry out a full investigation of the activities of the CBN…”

The white robber who carried out six raids disguised as a black man (and very nearly got away with it)

A white man who pleaded guilty to six robberies in Ohio used a black mask so lifelike that police initially arrested a black man for one of the crimes.
The mother of the wrongly accused man even thought a photo of the robbery suspect she saw on television was a photo of her son.
Conrad Zdzierak, 30, pleaded guilty Monday in Hamilton County Ohio to one count of aggravated robbery and five counts of robbery in a plea deal with prosecutors.

Conrad Zdzierak targeted four banks and a chemist within the space of three hours wearing the mask

An unnamed black man's mother saw a surveillance video picture like this one on television and believed the robber was her son

The silicone mask, purchased from a California costume company, behaves like real flesh and muscle

He faces up to 35 years in prison at his January 7 sentencing.
In exchange, prosecutors dismissed 12 charges and decided not to seek indictments for other crimes, prosecutor spokeswoman Julie Wilson said.
'Conrad apologises to everyone, is sorry for any harm he has caused and accepts responsibility for his actions,' his lawyer Christopher McDowell said.
Zdzierak stole about $15,000 in the robberies of four banks, a credit union and a pharmacy that occurred in March and April - crimes in which witnesses reported that the robber was black and surveillance video appeared to show a black man.
Zdzierak's masked resemblance to the black man who was initially arrested was so similar that some witnesses even identified a photo of the black man as the one who robbed them, McDowell said.
The prosecutor's office would not release the name of the wrongly accused man.

Zdzierak was arrested at a hotel after his girlfriend called police after seeing reports of the robberies and finding two masks and money stained by dye that is used to track robbers, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
McDowell said his client purchased the masks from SPFXmasks, based in Van Nuys, California. The silicone masks 'look and behave like real flesh and muscle,' the company's website says.
Owner Rusty Slusser said Tuesday his company's masks are normally bought for movies, Halloween, haunted houses and stage shows, but the Ohio case was not the first time they have been used for criminal purposes.
'We do not condone any illegal activity with our masks,
