28-Years-Old Mother Enters Guinness World Records For Donating 87 GALLONS of Her BREAST MILK!

A 28-year-old woman, Alicia Richman, has been declared the new
Guinness World Record holder for "Most Breast milk Donated.

" Between June 2011 and March 2012, the 28-year-old mother of one
donated 11,115 ounces – or 694 pounds – of breast milk to charity,
according to Guinness. By volume, that's about 87 gallons.

In her testimony, Richman had said that after she gave birth in March
2011, she began pumping and storing her milk, and quickly realized she
was producing much more than her son could consume.

When two freezers were chock full of pumped milk, Richman contacted
the Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas, a nonprofit that collects
breast milk donations for critically ill and premature infants in
need.

Amy Vickers, executive director of the milk bank, says in a press
release that Richman's donations have fed "hundreds, and more likely,
thousands of premature babies across the United States.

" Richman says she went for the Guinness record because she wanted to
raise awareness for the cause and encourage other women to donate to
milk banks.

In her words, Richman says "I'm so thankful that I'm able to help not
only my own baby, Drake, but all of the little babies who need it and
are sick," Richman told News 8. "It really feels amazing and I'm so
thankful that I'm able to do it."

ANINI: THE MOST FAMOUS ARMED ROBBER THAT EVER LIVED IN NIGERIA

Lawrence Nomanyagbon Anini 1960 – March 29, 1987 was a famous Nigerian
bandit who terrorised Benin City in the 1980s along with his sidekick
Monday Osunbor. He was captured and executed for his crimes.

Anini was born in a village about 20 miles from Benin City in present
day Edo State. He migrated to Benin at an early age, learned to drive
and became a skilled taxi driver in a few years.

He became known in Benin motor parks as a man who could control the
varied competing interest among motor park touts and operators.

He later dived into the criminal business in the city and soon became
a driver and transporter for gangs, criminal godfathers and thieves.

Later on, he decided to create his own gang and they started out as
car hijackers, bus robbers and bank thieves. Gradually, he extended
his criminal acts to other towns and cities far north and east of
Benin.

The complicity of the police is believed to have triggered Anini's
reign of terror in 1986. In early 1986, two members of his gang were
tried and prosecuted against an earlier under-the-table bribe induced
agreement with the police to destroy evidence against the gang
members.

The incident, and Anini's view of police betrayal, is believed to have
spurred retaliatory actions by Anini.

On August, 1986, a fatal bank robbery linked to Anini was reported in
which a police officer and a child were killed. That same month, two
officers on duty were shot at a barricade while trying to stop Anini's
car.

During a span of three months, he was known to have killed 9 police
officers. He wrote numerous letters to media houses using political
tones of Robin Hood-like words to describe his criminal acts.

On December 3, 1986, he was caught at a house off the main street of
Benin in the company of six women friends. Anini was shot in the leg,
transferred to a military hospital, and had one of his legs amputated.

The country's military leader, Ibrahim Babangida, demanded a speedy
trial. Anini was convicted of most of his charges and was executed on
March 29, 1987.

Chris Brown : “This Is How I Made It” You’re always gonna know me for situations and life obstacles.

After taking a year off from doing interviews and magazine features,
it seems as though Chris is doing some revamping when it comes to his
image and is ready to finally speak out and tell his story.

He was spotted on the set of an XXL cover shoot recently getting
styled up by Ugo Mozie. His ex-girlfriend Karrueche was also spotted
on set while assisting the style team with pulling together Chris'
various looks.

This past weekend, Chris was featured on MTV's "This Is How I Made It"
series, where he dished on his modest childhood as a choir boy in a
small town of Virgina as well as his rise to superstardom.

He also spoke on the Rihanna drama and how it changed the public's
perception of him completely. While speaking on how much it meant for
him to win his first Grammy, he said:

You're always gonna know me for situations and life obstacles. To have
that [Grammy] achievement and to go through people's whole opinions of
me changing of me — you know.

Having to get personal opinion back and having to gain personal
success back. It's not all the way back. It's one of my most humbling
experiences. I can't hate people for making a judgement on me or
making a decision of liking me or not liking me.

All I can do is try to be better as a person and I'm good with
knowing that everything isn't always gonna be perfect.

During the special, he also dropped these gems of inspiration:

I think people get stuck in what you can't do. Life is what you make
it. Just because somebody says it's this, doesn't mean it's that. Do
what you have to do. That kind of attitude shaped me to be the artist
that I am.

My story, my life, my legacy can hopefully show [people] that once
you're down, that doesn't mean that you're down forever.

You never let up.

Nollywood; Lola Alao replies Bisi Ibidapo-Obe over pregnancy scandal

During an interview with E24 magazine, pregnant actress Bisi Ibidapo
Obe revealed that her colleague, Lola Alao introduced her to the man
she claims is responsible for her
pregnancy, ex Reps member, Dino Melaye, and she also alleged that
Lola, after having introduced her to Dino, started dating the
lawmaker.

Lola Alao has come out to deny Bisi's claim.

What she told City People .. Bisi should leave me out of her pregnancy
mess. How can an adult like her not know who impregnated her?

Is Bisi a small girl, that I Lola, will now carry and give Hon Dino to
date? It is sad that she has dragged him into this mess.

Is she the first actor or actress that Dino will help? Why is she
making a deal out of meeting Dino? Dino has been my friend for years
and was even at my movie premiere several month back where he donated
N10million. I wish to state categorically that I have never dated
Dino, I am not dating him and can never date him because he's like a
brother from
another mother.

It is quite unfortunate that Bisi is scandalizing Dino this way.
Everything smacks of blackmail to me. Maybe she thinks since Dino
donated N10million at my launch , she can
scandalize him and make some money off him. I leave her to her conscience.

delegate Nick Cusack that Clattenburg used inappropriate language
toward two of their players during their controversial 3-2 defeat to
Manchester United at Stamford Bridge yesterday.

The people of Ijebu in Ogun state, yesterday, were thrown into an
upswing mood  when the Senate President, David Mark gave his unalloyed
backing to the creation of Ijebu state.

Mark who was speaking at the 2012 annual Ojude-Oba celebration at
Ijebu-Ode on Sunday, stated that states creation would bring
governance closer to the people.

He said "I have received the delegation from the (Ogun) State who are
the main committee members for creation of Ijebu State. I'm here to
say one thing that I'm fully in support of the creation of Ijebu
State.

"Let me make my point clear: where I stand in politics is never in
doubt. I support the creation of Ijebu State. I support the creation
of (more) states in this country. And the National Assembly must work
towards that.

"When we create states, it is not because we cannot live together but
because we want to bring governance closer and nearer to the people.
"A lot of people desire and deserve to feel a sense of governance in
this country and when we create states, that is what would happen."

to be converted to a state, while other provinces had been divided
into two or more states."

Chairman of Globacom, Mike Adenuga, who is from Ijebu, was singled for
commendation by the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun and the monarch,
for adding many innovations and value to the festival, thereby turning
it to a world-class carnival which has attracted people from across
Nigeria and the rest of the world.

The festival was attended by senators, enthusiasts, captains of
industries, indigenes of Ijebu and other political bigwigs

MAN SUES CHURCH FOR LOSING LEG WHEN CRUCIFIX FELL ON HIM

A cruel twist of fate cost David Jimenez his leg when the crucifix he
prayed to every day when his wife was fighting cancer toppled over and
crushed him.

Mr Jimenez stopped every day to pray to the statue of Jesus on the
cross outside Church of St Patrick in Newburgh, New York.

When his wife, Delia, recovered from the cancer, the 45-year-old
father of two offered to clean the crucifix as an act of faith and a
goodwill gesture.

However, as he scrubbed the heavy marble object it fell off its shaky
pedestal and landed on his leg, the Mid-Hudson News Network reported.

The pizza parlor employee is now suing the church for $3million,
claiming the priest who gave him permission to work on the unstable
statue was negligent.

The injury on Memorial Day in 2010 so badly mangled Mr Jimenez's right
leg that doctors were forced to amputate it just below the knee.

The church told CBS New York that the congregation collected food and
$7,000 in cash donations for Mr Jimenez and his family.

However, Mr Jimenez's lawyer Kevin Kitson said the insurance company
for the diocese had made collecting additional money difficult.

As a result of the legal action, the church has removed the crucifix
from the Church of St Patrick and moved it to another parish.

Mr Kitson said his client, a devout Catholic, still believes it played
a role in his wife's recovery.

'David attributed the cure to his devotion to that cross,' he told CBS
New York.

Nonetheless, the lawyer maintains that the church was negligent.

He said only one screw held the marble statue in place.

That gave way when Mr Jimenez scrubbed the statue, causing it to fall over.
