A tiny ‘Imbul’ tree branch which had pierced the left Bosom  of a motorcyclist was surgically removed by a team of surgeons at the Hambantota General Hospital.

A.P. Sanjeewa (40) a resident of Lunama was riding his motorcycles when a roadside Imbul tree had fallen on the road and the sharp end of a broken branch pierced the Bosom  causing a serious wound. 

The tiny branch was removed in a three-hour operation.

A man believed to be the tallest on the planet at 8ft 4 inches has died aged 44.

Leonid Stadnyk, who was said to be too shy to measured for the Guinness World record books, was 21 inches taller than lanky England footballer Peter Crouch.

The peasant farmer, from the Ukrainian village of Podoliantsy, died yesterday from a brain haemorrhage after health problems.

Of his size, Leonid had said: "To me, my height is a curse, a punishment from God, not something to celebrate. What sin I have committed, I do not know. All my life I have dreamed of being just like everyone else. "

He added: "I don't want or need the fame that this would bring so I have no desire to be in this Guinness book."

He was scared to commit to women "because I don't want to inflict my problems on a wife. I think it would not be fair on her", he said.

His astonishing rise to fame began at 12, when a benign brain tumour over-stimulated his body's production of a growth hormone.

At one point, his condition, called giganticism, left him growing at the rate of roughly a foot every three years.

He wore size 27 shoes (in UK sizes) for feet that measured almost 18 inches in length while his palms were more than a foot in diameter.

But unable to independently verify his measurements, Guinness instead officially listed Xi Shin at fractionally under 7ft 9 inches as the world's tallest man.

"We have contacted Stadnyk, but he seems like a very shy guy," said a Guinness World Records spokeswoman. "He doesn't want us around. So we have to stick to what we have."

Talking about life, he explained how his height prevented him following his desired career.

"I was trained as a vet and loved my work," he said.

"But gradually I found that I couldn't get the shoes I needed in winter to protect me from the frostbite. I just couldn't keep on with this work."

He took over the family smallholding.

"Stooping from my height to pull up the weeds is not easy, I can tell you. It puts a lot of strain on my back," he said.

"I know I'm the tallest man but at the same I often feel one of the most helpless. This life is for smaller people."

Once he went to Germany on a rare trip outside Ukraine.

"It was like another planet - I am glad I saw it but felt a bit like an alien there."

There was no bed big enough: he had to sleep on a billiard table.

His neighbours knew him as a kind a generous man, always ready to help.

One, Bronyslave, said he was "the most unselfish, diligent man of a pure soul."

A cancer patient claims she was treated “like a dog” after being kept on a trolley in a hospital storage room for three nights.

Charlene Lynch, 27, who suffers from Hodgkins lymphoma, also claims she was not fed because staff did not know she was there.

She was admitted to Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown, Dublin, last Friday, when she required emergency surgery on her foot.

But after the procedure, instead of being sent to a post-op recovery ward, a bed shortage meant she was 
abandoned in the tiny room and given a curtain for a blanket.

Mum-of-one Charlene, who was discharged yesterday, told the Irish Mirror : “I just couldn’t wait to get out of there. I feel like I’m nothing. I just feel like dirt. My illness hasn’t been taken into consideration or anything.

“They just squeezed me into a room on a trolley, I was in so much pain.”

Last October Charlene, from Mulhuddart, Dublin, was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma.

Her three-day ordeal came just nine weeks after she finished a punishing course of chemotherapy.

Charlene, who has been in remission since June, said: “I did chemo for 12 sessions and I had stage 2b cancer.

“It’s cancer in the lymph nodes, which is the neck, the chest and the groin.”

Charlene’s doctors at Connolly were aware of her battle with the disease but she was told nothing could be done to accommodate her.

She added: “To treat someone like this who is actually very, very ill, to put them in a storage room, it’s ridiculous.

“It’s all on my chart. But I had to explain to them that I’d been going through chemotherapy and I had to explain what kind of medication I’m on because I’m in remission.

“I had to explain to them that I had cancer and everything else, then they just put me in the storage room.

“I got told there wasn’t enough beds and it was the only thing that they could do. A bed became available in the men’s ward, but obviously I can’t go there.

“So I’ve just been lying on a trolley in the storage room for three days.

“I didn’t even get asked did I want anything to eat because the people didn’t even know I was here in this room, they just by-passed me. I said it to them.

Charlene Lynch
 

" I was crying because I was puking so much with the medication and I said, ‘You haven’t even offered me anything to eat’.

“Sunday morning was the first time I had something to eat, that I was even offered something.”

Charlene also said she had no privacy in the room with staff coming in and out throughout the day and even at night.

She added: “All night long they’re in and out, in and out. It’s where they hang up their X-rays.

“It’s a storage treatment room. They have oxygen masks in here, disposable forceps, disposable scissors, clips removers.

“I was in the Redwood ward, this is all for casts and people who have serious injuries, so they need this all the time.

“In the night they still come in to get bandages and all the rest. There was no privacy whatsoever for me.”

Charlene, who has an 11-year-old daughter, said she empathised with the pressures staff were facing.

She added: “The staff are only being given a certain amount of room. People are still coming in, the staff can’t turn away people that are seriously injured.

 

“You can see that in them as well, they’re under pressure.” But Charlene said she felt there could be no excusing the way she was treated.

She added: “If you get sick or you have an illness, don’t expect the Government to look after you, because they won’t.

“I’m a mother to an 11-year-old, I’m only gone 27, I was sick last year.

“I’ve been given no support, no help, no nothing. You’re just treated like a dog.

“There are thousands of mothers in my situation.

Charlene Lynch

“I just feel sorry for the older people who come in, who aren’t able to fend for themselves.”

 A spokeswoman for Connolly Hospital said they could not comment on individual cases.

However, she added: “Management would request any patient or family member who has concerns with regard to their hospital treatment and care to contact the hospital manager directly where their concerns may be addressed in confidence.

“In some cases a decision may be taken to accommodate a patient in a treatment room off a ward to expedite their surgery.

“Patients may be required to fast post and pre-surgery.”

BBA sponsored by Coca-Cola: $300,000 (N48m). MTN Project Fame: N7.5m & SUV. Etisalat's Nigerian Idol: N5m & multi-million naira contract. Glo naija sings: N5m & SUV. Gulder ultimate search: N10m plus endorsements & SUV.
COWBELL Mathematics competition: N100k. Lagos State Spelling Bee: N50k. School scrabble: N25k. Cool-FM spelling game: A goodie bag filled with Amila drink. And someone is asking why there is so much failure in WASSCE?” That was a message I received on my phone some days ago.

    My friend, Ayodele Adeyemi, told me a similar story recently. Someone saw the brilliance of his daughter and told her that she would be a doctor. The girl said no: She would be a musician. The person was surprised.

    That story is not strange today. If you ask children in primary school or even secondary school whom would they like to be like in future, they would mention Davido, Whizkid, Omawumi, Don Jazzy, Genevieve Nnaji or Ali Baba.

It is a good thing that our entertainment industry has become a source of pride to our nation and a source of livelihood for thousands of youths. Youths who could have been at jobs they hated or even derailed into crime have found themselves happily and richly employed. Rather than being mocked by society, they have become a source of envy and admiration. But therein lies the problem...
Since the entertainment industry has become a money spinner and a glamorous industry, every child wants to be in it. But, why not? Currently, the TV programmes with the highest prizes are in music or entertainment. Unknown faces become celebrities almost overnight. Their mates watch such transformation and are filled with envy and admiration. Children watch their intelligent uncles and parents go unnoticed, uncelebrated and impoverished, while entertainers – many of whom are not particularly book-intelligent – become the stars of the day.
On the contrary, how many big-budget programmes or prizes are dedicated to rewarding excellence in creativity or the like? Very few. The NLNG Prize for Literature was virtually the only big prize until recently when Etisalat Prize for Literature came on stream.

The doctors, lecturers, teachers, etc are frequently on strike over pay and conditions of service. Nigerian writers have to move to the United States or the United Kingdom to be appreciated.

Beside entertainment, politics is the other field that is very attractive because of the direct and indirect money that oozes out of it as well as the glamour that goes with it. It is more rewarding – financially and socially – to be a local government chairman than to be a professor. If you are lucky to be a senator, a minister or a governor, you are made for life! Beyond amassing a lot of money, you are also initiated into the political circle, which ensures that even when you leave office, you are made an ambassador, a chairman of an agency or the like. You would not like to go back to the university, your medical practice or whatever you were before. As a doctor, an engineer or lecturer, your money comes in trickles, but as a senator or governor, it drops into your account like a bomb regularly.

But if you can’t be a politician, why not be an entertainer? President Goodluck Jonathan may not feel cool when shaking an engineer, computer scientist or professor, but when he is shaking hands with a musician like D’Banj or an actress like Genevieve, you will notice that his smile will be broader. Why? He is shaking hands with a star.

Unlike before when our entertainers just had enough to take care of their basic needs, today’s entertainers earn up to N5m for a 10-minute solo rendition of two of their songs on stage. For those who have up to four shows per month, even if they earn a million naira per show, that gives them N4m monthly. Many CEOs of top companies don’t earn that. And this amount excludes the money made from commercials, endorsements, celebrity appearances, fees to act as a judge at shows, album sales, and any other private businesses the celebrity is involved in.

So, it is not surprising that many of our young ones want to be entertainers. In their views, excluding the money and glamour in entertainment, it does not look as strenuous as reading and sitting for exams to be a pharmacist or a professor. Being a musician is fun. You stand on stage (in the limelight) while others huddle together in darkness, watching you. You don’t need to have all A’s or come first in your class. But once successful, you overshadow your siblings and parents. Your parents and siblings are identified from your standpoint: Omawumi’s mother, Omotola’s husband, Okocha’s sister. You travel from one city to the other or from one country to the other, stay in the best hotels, eat the best foods, and drink the best wines – all the time.

No wonder, parents railroad their children into entertainment. They organise three or four of them to sing, put it in CDs and send the children to filling stations and shopping malls to sell the CDs. Some parents push their children to participate in all music competitions in the land. Those who are wealthy use their wealth or connection to push their children to be featured regularly in the media.

At the auditions of reality shows, there is no manner of people you won’t see. Even those who croak like toads participate, believing that they are the next “Tu Baba” or “PSquare.” It is all because of how lucrative the entertainment industry.

TV stations have also caught the virus. While new all-music channels and programmes are springing up, almost all the local channels have dedicated the hours of 12 noon to 2pm to music.

It is a great thing that our entertainment industry is booming. Many African countries are envious of our achievement, but we need to emulate the US in our national development. The reason the US is different is that it is not a one-product economy. While it is the headquarters of entertainment in the world, it is also the headquarters of academic excellence and research. It consciously encourages its doctors, engineers, scientists, lecturers, broadcasters, writers, etc, to be the best by providing a wonderful environment. It does not create the impression that a senator is better than a professor by paying the senator higher than the professor, or giving the senator more recognition than the professor.
Even though it glamorises the actor or musician, it does not give the actor or musician any impression that he is better than the police constable or primary school teacher. Politics is not made so lucrative that every media person prays to be appointed a politician’s press secretary. Many broadcasters actually earn more than politicians; so politicians can’t talk down on them or buy them over. The street cleaner does her job with pride. She knows that one day she can write a book on strategic street cleaning and it will become a bestseller that earns her millions of dollars and fame. She does not need to become a musician, a politician, a contractor, or a girlfriend to a politician before she can become successful as a street cleaner.

That is how a robust economy is built. It is an economy in which people have the potential to excel, to be rich and get national recognition in whatever field they operate in. That way, children who have the proclivity for research or teaching are not discouraged by such fields’ low-rewarding prospects and get lured into music or acting. Those who will sing will sing. Those who will act will act. But the nation must not make those who should be in other fields to jump into entertainment or emigrate, just because they believe that their natural field is unappreciated.

Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua has opened up as to why his church does not have foreign branches despite his popularity abroad. The cleric, who spoke on Sunday 24th August 2014 at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), stressed on the need for God’s character to be fully established before ministerial expansion.

“I would have loved to have branches all over the world because people want T.B. Joshua everywhere,” he told the congregation. “But it is not yet time because it will be too much for my character. When the load is too heavy for you, it will become a burden.”

He further added that he was not moved by pleas from people but rather relied on God’s instruction. “Not where they want me but where God wants me,” he emphasised, adding that he was not in a haste or hurry and would not jump ahead of God’s timing.

    “If you run before God, you cannot run after God,” he continued, explaining that this had been the bane of many businessmen and pastors as their desire to expand superseded their level of character.


His views stand in stark contrast to the popular notion that the amount of branches a church has is indicative of its level of success.

“In a situation where you become so great without God’s character, it means the end is going to be bad,” Joshua went on further to explain, reminding congregants of Jesus’ words in John 14:27 that the world too could provide wealth and fame although with conditions attached.

“When you see someone who is great without God’s character, don’t admire him – pray for him because the beginner is not the owner but the finisher... The beginning and middle are off-record; the end is what will put the record straight.”

He stated that it was even better not to have fame and popularity than to achieve what would eventually end in calamity. “Character is the one that carries whatever we become. If your wealth is bigger than your character, that wealth will be spending you, not you spending it,” TB Joshua cautioned.

Joshua stated that one of the secrets of his ministerial success was not being driven by money, explaining that some worshippers were still under canopies in his church not because he lacked the financial capacity to expand but because he was waiting on God.

“There is money to build but money cannot dictate for me. We could expand this place (The SCOAN) and build the biggest church in the world but I allow the Source of money to tell me what to do, not the money itself.”

A mother who killed her three-year-old son and hid his body in a suitcase has been jailed for 11 years.

Mikaeel Kular died two days after being beaten repeatedly by Rosdeep Adekoya following a family day-out in January.

After discovering his lifeless body on the floor of their Edinburgh home in Ferry Gait Crescent, she wrapped it in a duvet cover, put it in the suitcase and drove about 25 miles to Kirkcaldy, Fife, to hide it in woodland.

But she reported him missing to police, sparking a major two-day search operation involving hundreds of local people.

Adekoya, 34, a prisoner at Cornton Vale jail near Stirling, was initially charged with murder but last month pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of culpable homicide.

She also admitted a charge of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by pretending to police her son had gone missing.

She was jailed for 11 years when she returned to the High Court in Edinburgh for sentencing today.

Just hours before he was killed, footage obtained by the Daily Mirror showed Mikaeel happy and enjoying a dessert.

a few hours later he was repeatedly smacked and struck on the head and body with a clenched fist for being sick.

When the youngster was sick for a third time, evil Adekoya dragged him to the shower by his arms and "beat him heavily" on his back as he lay over the bath edge.

Over the next 24 hours Adekoya inflicted fatal damages on the frail youngster and refused to seek medical help due to bruising.

Chillingly she posted this footage on her Instagram account while hundreds of people from across Edinburgh and the Lothians searched for her son whom she knew was already dead and buried in a shallow grave in Fife.

Mikaeel-Kular-murder

The court heard that Mikaeel died on the night of Tuesday January 14 from injuries inflicted the previous Sunday.

His mother "lost her temper" when he was repeatedly sick following a trip to a Nando's restaurant at the city's Fountain Park.

She smacked him and struck him on the body and head with a clenched fist, the court heard previously.

When Mikaeel was sick for a third time, she dragged him to the shower by his arms and "beat him heavily" on his back as he lay over the bath edge.

Over the next few days Mikaeel's condition worsened and he was kept off nursery.

He was assaulted again on the Monday after being sick and became "listless", but his mother did not take him to a doctor because of the bruising.

By Tuesday night, Mikaeel was said to be "quiet" and was giving a "limited" response to his mother's questions.

Advocate depute Alex Prentice, prosecuting, told the court: "He would have been in significant pain but was put to bed.

"The pain would have increased significantly while Mikaeel became dangerously ill and finally dying as a result of the injuries inflicted upon him by the accused."

The deposition site in Kirkcaldy, Fife where the body of Mikaeel Kular was found

After discovering her son's body, Adekoya put it in a suitcase which she carried to the boot of her car, before taking his twin sister to nursery.

She left the case in woodland behind her sister's house in Dunvegan Avenue, Kirkcaldy, covering it with branches.

But mobile telephone masts recorded the 34-year-old's journey across the Forth Road Bridge, undermining her statements to police about her whereabouts.

She eventually broke down and took officers to his body.

The final cause of Mikaeel's death was found to be "blunt force abdominal trauma" and the court heard he had more than 40 separate injuries to his body.

Adekoya's internet history showed searches including "I find it hard to love my son", "Why am I so aggressive with my son" and "Get rid of bruises".

Body Found In Hunt For Missing Three-Year-Old Mikaeel Kular

Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham said Mikaeel's disappearance and death deeply impacted on his family and "resonated across the community in which he lived"

John Dunn, Procurator Fiscal for the East of Scotland, said: "There can be few crimes more shocking than a parent killing their child.

"From the outset of the case, and working closely with the Police, the Crown has led an extremely thorough investigation in to the circumstances surrounding Mikaeel's death.

"All of the facts and circumstances of the case were carefully considered by Crown Counsel.

"Having considered all the evidence in the case, including that of expert pathologists, Crown Counsel concluded that pleas of guilty to charges of culpable homicide and attempting to defeat the ends of justice were appropriate."

 The 40-year-old, beheaded by a militant from Islamic State, told his family: "I pray for you to stay strong and to believe. I really feel I can touch you even in this darkness when I pray."
The parents of executed journalist James Foley have released the final letter he sent them from his hostage cell.
The 40-year-old, beheaded by a British militant from the terror group Islamic State (IS) known as Jihadi John, wrote that dreaming of his family and friends "takes me away and happiness fills my heart".
He continued: "I know you are thinking of me and praying for me.
"And I am so thankful.
"I feel you all especially when I pray.

"I pray for you to stay strong and to believe.
"I really feel I can touch you even in this darkness when I pray."
Mr Foley's brutal execution at the hands of a masked IS fighter who spoke with a London accent, was filmed and posted online last week.
He was captured in Syria in November 2012 and wrote several letters during his captivity.
However, they were all confiscated by his captors.
To get around this, Mr Foley asked another hostage, who was due to be released, to commit a letter to memory.
The hostage later dictated this to Mr Foley's mum Diane and it has now been published on the Find James Foley Facebook page set up by his friends and family.
In the letter, Mr Foley reveals he was held in a cell along with 18 other prisoners.
He said they passed the time talking about films, sport and trivia, and found ways of playing chess, checkers and Risk.
He said: "I have had weak and strong days.
"We are so grateful when anyone is freed; but of course, yearn for our own freedom.
"We try to encourage each other and share strength."
The letter was released after it emerged that spy chiefs are just hours from unmasking Mr Foley's killer.
Spooks at MI5 have been scouring a list of Brit fanatics thought to be fighting in Syria and have now narrowed down a shortlist of suspects to "a few names".
A funeral for Mr Foley will be held on October 18 - his 41st birthday.

Dang, girl! Usher was caught on the 2014 MTV VMAs red carpet on Sunday, Aug, 24 in Inglewood, Calif., checking out Kim Kardashian’s famous derrière.

The “Love in This Club” singer was hilariously snapped giving the look of approval to Kanye West’s wife, who donned a navel-grazing deep V-neck short printed dress.

Kardashian attended the awards show with her two younger half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner and presented “Artist to Watch” nominee Sam Smith’s performance of “Stay With Me.”

After oogling the reality star, Usher went on to perform a vine-worthy surprise performance of “Give It To You” with Nicki Minaj, and later dropped a previously-unheard track titled “Believe Me.”

Sheer, Bey! Beyonce ditched her panties while making a quick and speedy appearance as one of the final celebrities to hit the red carpet of the 2014 MTV VMAs held Sunday, Aug. 24, in Inglewood, Calif.

The singer, 32, looked beautiful in a black lace and beaded gown by Lebanese designer Nicolas Jebran's fall 2014 collection. The dress featured a sheer panel cut-out on her bodice with geometric lines trailing down her skirt to strategically conceal parts of her body.

Beyonce left her caramel-color hair parted down the center in loose waves and paired her outfit with large Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

Her gown was similar to her 2014 Grammys gown -- a white full-length dress by Michael Costello which included floral appliqués that covered her body up in the right spots.

The singer lead the pack of nominees at the annual awards show, chosen in eight separate categories. Beyonce received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award Sunday evening from her husband Jay Z and their daughter Blue Ivy, after she put on a spectacle of a show as part of the 2014 MTV VMAs final act.

Click for Full Image Size Alhaja Odukanmi Kudirat, otherwise known as "Iyabo Oko", is a veteran actress of repute. She was born on 15th of November 1960 in Iwo Local Government Area of Osun State in Nigeria where she started schooling before she was taken to her soldier father who was based in Port Harcourt. Iyabo Oko joined acting at a very tender age, 1973 to be a precise on the platform of Eda Onileola theatre troupe. The ageless actress got the name Iyabo Oko which shot her to the limelight after she played the major character in the flick titled Oko, produced by Oga Bello. Sometime back,she spoke to City People's Yoruba Movie Reporter,GBOLAHAN ADETAYO on her life as an actress.

How did you get into acting?

My journey into acting was a very long one, but before I go into that, let me start with my names. I am Kudirat Odukanmi Oduola popularly known as Iyabo Oko, Apoti Aje and Sisi Mama. I started acting in 1973 through Chief Eda Onile Ola's caucus. I joined the industry simply because I had so much interest in it and I really appreciate God for all I have made in the profession. From the beginning, it was really challenging but along the line, things began to move smoothly for me. Acting was not something your parents will allow you to do then, but in my own case, I proved stubborn and I thank God I did not encounter any obstacles.

How old were you in 1973 when you joined?

I was so young in 1973. I was learning the vocation and I finally joined the league in 1974. Though I can't recollect the actual age I was, I remember that there was nothing on my chest to identify that I was a mature girl. I dropped out of school to venture into it.

How about your educational background?

Glory be to God Almighty for the little one I was able to acquire. I am a school cert. holder but it was by force. I went into acting immediately after I started my secondary school. My father wanted me in school by all means but I turned him down with just a school cert which was then like National Diploma. I started schooling from Oke-Ola Primary School, Iwo Osun State before I joined St. Andrews Recondary School, Port Harcourt.

What prompted your schooling in Port Harcourt?

My father was a soldier and after I completed my primary education, I was taken to him in Port Harcourt. I couldn't tell him that I wanted to go into acting because all his intention was for me to acquire all the degrees we have. So, I didn't inform him before I ran out of the house.

When you ran away from the house, where did you go?

I ran away to follow theatre practitioners for many years. In fact, I completed my secondary school as an actress then. I didn't return home again. My dad came to take me away from Baba Eda's house twice and I insisted that I wanted to act. He kept me in his care and I was going to school from there. I just started schooling in Port Harcourt before I saw them doing a stage play and I stopped my school to follow them, but when my father was disturbing himself over my career, I was asked to complete my secondary school which I did.

How did he feel by the time you became famous?

Unfortunately, he died before then. Only my mother witnessed my success in the acting industry and I really get pained each time I remember this.

How did you become popular in the industry?

I will attribute that to Veteran actor, Adebayo Salami a.k.a Oga Bello because he made me to become a star despite the uncountable movies I had featured in. But Oga Bello invited me to join his group because of the talent he saw in me and I joined him in Lagos. My first appearance movie that got me the fame was Oko (Stone) which many call me with and I always appreciate him for that because he made me not to regret my journey into acting.

What influenced your ways of acting?

There's nothing special about my acting prowess. It is what I am used to with when I started. If you watch the boss who taught me this job very well, you will agree with me that there's no role he can't play and he has imbibed that in us. If you want to be sucessful in this profession, you don't need to stick to one role at all times. Since you are gifted, producers will always opt for you because you are capable of giving them what they want and after that, many will start noticing your different talents.

How about your buttocks?

It is a God-given material from above. It's not something you can cover with wrapper and if you do, it will sure show up. I am not the first person to have such huge buttocks in the industry but God purposely made mine and that's why many keep eyeing it. They are eyeing it and it brings money for me and I pray that it should not perish. I really love the shape becuase many thought as old as I am, the stuff should go out of shape, but God made it the way it is. If I shake it to right or left, it goes to the direction I direct it to. What I mean is that many producers will tell me that they want me to catwalk and shake the buttocks,and I will bill them for this and I get paid. Producers demand for it to sell their movies.

Are there no complains from your children over that?

Not at all because they know that I am a responsible mother to the core. I don't go out with men. I have no one except my God and my children. My children don't complain because they know that their mum is a good mother, and I won't wear a mysterious dress that my children don't like.
