A Chinese woman Peng Waimei, who has kept her son locked in a cage for more than 40 years has appealed for someone to help look after him after she dies.

Peng Weiqing, 48, has been in the cage in his mother's home in the city of Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan Province, since the age of six. Peng Waimei, says that she did it to protect Weiqing.

Waimei and her late husband locked their son away and have fed him through the bars ever since after a series of health problems as a child. When Weiqing was still a baby he suffered a high fever, which left him brain-damaged. 


Waimei said: 'He can't control himself. 'When he was young, quite often he would cut himself with a knife and glass debris.'Even when walking, he could suddenly fall down and hit his face and make it bleed. 'He must know me, although he may not know the meaning of "mother". He is my 48-year-old child. 

Waimei fears for her son when she dies and hopes to find someone to take care of him. More photos..

Black Man, Kash Delano Register Wrongly Convicted Released After 34 Years In Prison!

In 1979, Brenda Anderson testified that a young man with whom she had gone to high school shot her elderly neighbor to death. Thirty-four years later, Anderson’s sister Sharon took the stand and said the account, which helped send the young man to prison, was a lie.

On Thursday, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge sided with Sharon Anderson and threw out the conviction of Kash Delano Register, who maintained his innocence during more than three decades as inmate No. C11693, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Register took his first steps of freedom just after 4:30 p.m. Friday. The 53-year-old exonerated inmate was transported from a Northern California jail to the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles, where he left a free man, CBS Los Angeles reports.

Kanye West appears on the Kris Jenner show

Kris Jenner's show 'Kris' is a miss in ratings. Since its debut in July, the show has been averaging about 202,000 viewers nationwide, according to Nielsen, which is really low compared to other talk shows. Ellen for instance averages more than 2 million viewers every day. Kanye's appearance on her show is considered by many as a boost meant to increase the number of viewers.
A source confirms to Us Weekly that Kanye West has taped an appearance on Kris, where he talked about his relationship with Jenner's daughter Kim Kardashian and their 2-month-old baby girl, North.
West, 36, taped his special interview with Jenner, 57, in Culver City, Calif. on Monday, Aug. 19. The insider tells Us the rapper is "really bringing it" for the interview and opens up about the baby, living with Kris Jenner, his relationship with the press and love for Kardashian.
West even joked that he's been "so in love" with Kim, whom he began dating in April 2012, that he thought about "playing sports." (Kardashian, 32, was previously married to NBA player Kris Humphries and dated NFL player Reggie Bush.)
Kanye's appearance will air on Friday August 23.

Nigeria Plans £5000 Visa Bond for UK Citizens

Three months to the commencement of the £3,000 visa bond regime due to be imposed on Nigerians travelling to the United Kingdom, the Federal Government may have perfected plans to impose a £5,000 visa bond on prospective British citizens visiting Nigeria.

This is in retaliation to the new but controversial immigration policy of the UK scheduled to commence in November 2013.

The Home Office of the United Kingdom, recently classified Nigeria, India, as “high risk” and placed a £3,000 bond on every Nigerian visiting Britain. The bond will be forfeited to the British government if an immigrant overstays his permit.

More than two million Nigerians are residing in the UK. Uproar had greeted the immigration policy described as “discriminatory” since its announcement in June.

Catholics Celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary


Introduction to the Assumption of Mary:
Celebrated every year on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary commemorates the death of Mary and her bodily assumption into Heaven, before her body could begin to decay--a foretaste of our own bodily resurrection at the end of time. Because it signifies the Blessed Virgin's passing into eternal life, it is the most important of all Marian feasts and a Holy Day of Obligation.

History of the Assumption:
The Feast of the Assumption is a very old feast of the Church, celebrated universally by the sixth century. The feast was originally celebrated in the East, where it is known as the Feast of the Dormition, a word which means "the falling asleep." The earliest printed reference to the belief that Mary's body was assumed into Heaven dates from the fourth century, in a document entitled "The Falling Asleep of the Holy Mother of God."

Miss United Nations Nigeria 2013 Miss Makbere Claims She Was Dethroned Because She Refused To Have Sex With The Director!

Miss Makbere granted an exclusive interview with mienpamo where she said it all.

Why were you dethroned?

It all started when I got the Franchise for participation at the Miss United Nations Pageant on the 17th to 18th of April 2013.

Because I was getting late for everything, they immediately forwarded my invitation letter and other documents to facilitate my VISA application. In addition, they assigned to me an African Director whose job was to make sure I secure a Tourist Visa to Mexico were the finals would take place. I had all his details sent to me and I contacted him and we started working.


First he sent me Embassy requirements which I met but one thing never went well with me. And that was the Exaggeration of the visa fee from 30pounds to 700USD for each person and for 3 people, that would be #280,000 in Nigerian Currency, and I was to travel with my chaperone and personal director.

I paid him the sum of #70,000 for a start before he went ahead with the procession of visa. Some days after we were invited for Biometrics and on getting there we also made another payment of 30,000. We got the Visa and promised to pay up when we return to Yenagoa.

When we got home, Mr Richard who was my personal director suggested I should do a Coronation Party for Recognition and attention and it came to pass with guests as Mr Zelly Mighty the African Director, Mr Jahn Basil the National Director, Sharon Mmezie Miss Unity Nigeria, Lynda Onwuka’ Queen Culture, Chisom Ubadike’ Miss Agulu, Amaka’ Runway Queen and so many others on the 19th of May.

The next day, 20th, I took them on a Courtesy visit to my State Govt’ Chief of staff and were received with warm hands. They were also given an Appreciation of 100,000.

Along the line, something camp up. I had a little problem and my personal director secretly suggested that I should be replaced by one Emilia Miebi. It came to my knowledge and I had him removed as my director.

Beyonce's Perfume collection has been named the Best-selling Celebrity Fragrance of all time.

Beyonce's perfume collection has been named the best-selling celebrity fragrance of all time around the world. 

The 'Run the World (Girls)' hitmaker's fragrance range - of which there have been six scents since 2010 - has sold more around the world than those launched by any other famous face, it has been revealed. The most recent fragrance released by the star was a limited-edition Heat to commemorate her 'Mrs. Carter Show' world tour, which is currently on a break between legs.
The perfume - a mix of florals, vanilla, sandalwood and acai - was packaged in a turquoise glass bottle and designed to capture the "power, passion and playfulness" of Beyonce's shows.

She recently said: "I love my music, I love performing and most of all I love and appreciate my fans. I wanted to give them a special remembrance of this tour and I created this scent to reflect the power, passion and playfulness I put into my performances."

Judge Orders Parent To Change Their Baby's Name From ''Messiah'' To ''Martin''

  
A Tennessee judge has ordered a baby's first name changed from "Messiah" to Martin, saying that the only true messiah is Jesus Christ, a ruling the boy's mother promises to appeal, a Tennessee television station has reported.
"The word 'messiah' is a title, and it's a title that has only been earned by one person, and that one person is Jesus Christ. And the child would likely struggle with his given first name because he lives in Cocke County, a predominantly Christian area in eastern Tennessee", the Judge said.
The baby's mother Jaleesa Martin said she would appeal against the judge's order.
"I didn't think a judge could change my baby's name because of her religious beliefs," she said.
She said she chose the name not because of its religious connotations, but because she liked how it sounded with her two other children's names, Micah and Mason.

Talking to kids about Sex

Kids and sexuality — those words strike fear into the hearts of many parents. But talking to kids about sex is an important part of parenting. Children and adolescents need your guidance to help them make healthy and appropriate decisions about their sexual behavior.

When it comes to talking to kids about sex, there's no set script. And sex education needn't be a single tell-all discussion. Instead, look for everyday opportunities and let your child set the pace with his or her questions. Provide just the information that your child is asking for and is able to understand. As your child matures and asks more-detailed questions, you can provide more-detailed responses.

It's normal to feel uncomfortable when talking to kids about sex. But remember that by providing accurate and open communication, you increase the odds that your child will understand your values, make appropriate choices about sex" and not get the wrong information elsewhere.

Beyonce and Jay Z called demons in Washington D.C

Two protesters set up shop outside The Mrs. Carter Show at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. warning  Mrs Obama and other concert goers that Beyonce and Jay Z were possessed by demons.

Founder of the Pray at the Pump movement, Rocky Twyman, tells Afro.com

"We believe that this couple is virtually destroying our youth. If you go on the Internet, you’ll see stories about how they’re both part of the Illuminati and you can see Jay-Z’s use of the Satanic triangle symbol when he performs."
"Jay-Z even declared himself to be God by referring to himself as Jehovah, and we don’t think that this is the image that our young people need to be glorifying.”
Tyman hopes his movement will catch on with protests in every city on the rest of Beyonce's tour.

Pope Francis sends message to Muslims to wish them the end of Ramadan


It is has been a Vatican tradition for the past 40 years to send its wishes to the world’s Muslims for Eid al-Fitr, the feast of fast breaking which marks the end of Ramadan. The message is usually signed by the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, the dicastery in charge of the Catholic Church’s relations with Islam.
 
But Francis wanted to give his message a more personal touch as a sign of special attention to his Muslim brothers, so he signed it in person: “This year, the first of my Pontificate, I have decided to sign this traditional message myself and to send it to you, dear friends, as an expression of esteem and friendship for all Muslims, especially those who are religious leaders,” the Pope wrote.

Pendo, Kenyan Girl Boasts Davido Kept It Fresh For Hours In Bed With Her!

Davido just returned from Kenya and just days after his return,  there has been a particular girl who has been granting a tell it all interview about how she had sex with the music star while he was in Kenya. According to her, Davido kept it fresh for hours. 'He' is big in LENGTH and WIDTH.  Read what she has to say in one of the interviews below.

So what is all this wahala about Davido blocking you off of his facebook?

Pendo : If people had done even a little research, they would know that Davido does not even have a Facebook account. I NEVER said I was in touch with him through Facebook. I got in touch with him through a good friend of his *redacted*  and that's where everything started. He did the intro.
