World Tallest Man,Sultan Kosen has gotten married *check pics*

We're today happy to announce that Sultan Kosen, the
world's tallest man, has married in a private ceremony in
the south-eastern city of Mardin in Turkey.
Standing at 8 foot 3 inches, the 30 year-old towered
over his new wife, 21 year-old Merve Dibo who
measures 5 foot 9 inches.
Sultan rose to fame in 2009 when he was recognised by
Guinness World Records as being the world's tallest
man.
On his first visit to London, UK, in September 2009 he
said that he hoped his newfound fame would change his
life, and help him find a wife: "It's really difficult to find
a girlfriend. They are usually scared of me. Hopefully
now that I'm famous I'll be able to meet lots of girls.
My dream is to be married."
In the two years that followed Sultan's life did change;
the exposure his record-breaking stature received saw
him benefit from free life-saving surgery to stop his
growth, specially tailored clothing and the opportunity to
travel the world. It was only on Sunday, however, that
he fulfilled his dream of getting married.
The couple met through a mutual friend. She travelled
from her home of Hasaki, in Syria, to his village Dede
köy in Turkey to meet him.
They only begun dating two months ago, but say they
knew immediately that they wanted to be together.
Sultan says: "When I looked into her eyes, I knew it was
love". Merve says: "At first everyone around me told
me not to marry him because of his height, but I fell in
love with his heart, not his height. His height doesn't
bother me at all."
The couple, who are Muslim, enjoyed a full wedding
party following Sunday's ceremony with over 1,500
guests, including a representative from Guinness World
Records and local dignitaries.
After the wedding the happy couple headed back to their
specially made home in Dede köy, where they say they
hope soon to have two children "god willing."

#VAB. Earthquake Hits Osun State Nigeria

Olobeide, a village in Ikeji- Ile, Osun State was recently hit by an explosion that sent old and young scampering to
safety. Two months after residents of the rocky
community are yet to get over the scare. Taiwo Abiodun
reports.
The cock had just crowed at 3 o'clock on September 23, a
Monday. The farmers and the traders who mainly
dominate this town knew at once that they should be
getting ready to set out for the day's work. Seconds later
came a massive explosion. The earth shook, the houses
vibrated. No one could have missed the impact.
By now everyone had woken up, asking the nearest
person what was happening. There was no precise
answer, only gesticulations that indicated nothing.
In twos and threes, the panicked residents stepped out of
their houses to ascertain what had happened. What they
saw next would only confuse them and terrify them the
more: water gushing from the top of the rocks and
cascading down. Trees were uprooted and flung away,
some over 100 meters.
Food and cash crops were not spared.
There was no need for further probing; the race for
survival had begun. Some fled into the bush: some just
kept running, to nowhere in particular. Some were
practically unclad. Mothers reached for their children, all
screaming and running at the same time.
The explosion had blasted off the top of the rock, leaving
a huge opening through which the water gushed out. The
base of the rock was littered with gravel.
Olobeide village has 12 mud houses and about 200
inhabitants who are chiefly farmers. It is nearly three
kilometers from Ikeji- Ile. The town is surrounded by
rocks which seem to be competing for space with one
another.

#VAB. I Never Attacked Any Priest – Sen. Chris Ngige

The senator and APC candidate in the November 16
Governorship election in Anambra State, Dr. Chris
Nwabueze Ngige has described as false reports that he
slapped a priest during Friday's burial ceremony of the
mother of the Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Rev.
Paulinus Ezeokafor at Nanka in Orumba North Local
Government area of Anambra State.
Sen. Ngige noted that with Anambra State gubernatorial
elections were getting closer, all sorts of rumours would
be flying around.
He dismissed the unbelievable story through the Director
on Media and Publicity in his Campaign Organisation, Chief
Charles Amilo.
"Someone who was in All Progressive Grand Alliance
(APGA) once paid heavily to create the fiction that Ngige
was pelted with stones in Awka, but time and the flow of
information proved him wrong," Chief Amilo said.
"Ngige has nothing to do with what they are twisting, but
we do not blame opponents who are so afraid that they
would destroy the billboards of another and fabricate lies
against them.
