This 9-month-old baby is actually a 30-yr-old woman

35-yr-old woman suffers from rare disorder that keeps her looking like a 9-month-old baby.

Born on May 7, 1981, Maria Audete do Nascimento does not look a day over nine months, thanks to a rare disorder.
Maria who is based in Brazil is believed to have suffered from a rare and severe case of hypothyroidism at birth, which created a significant deficiency of thyroid hormones, Bored Panda reports.

According to the reports, at nine-month-old, the autoimmune disease stopped Maria from developing physically, mentally and cognitively.
The situation is reportedly made worse by the fact that her condition could have been treated or at least managed at the time.
Maria lives with her father and step-mother, Dora in a mud house in Ceara, Brazil. Her biological mother died about 13 years ago.
As frustrating and discouraging as the circumstances really are, ,Maria has gotten all the love she deserves. Dora has cared for Maria since she married her father and believes caring for Maria is her life's calling.


According to Dora, Maria is a gift from God to her and she is a beautiful message sent to her step-daughter, who needs all the care and support she can possibly get.
Thankfully, the University of Ceara Facility of Medicine has agreed to provide free treatment for Maria, which will help her speak and walk.

A teenage blogger explains why she killed her parents

18-year-old Ashlee Martinson who is jail for killing her parents says she feels freer than she did at home in Wisconsin. It was there, she said, that a lifetime of physical, sexual and psychological abuse culminated into one horrific moment last year when she fatally shot her stepfather, Thomas Ayers, 37, and stabbed her mother, Jennifer Ayers, 40, more than 30 times till she died. Then she locked her three younger siblings in a bedroom in their home in the tiny town of Piehl, in northern Wisconsin, and ran, police said. Following a multistate manhunt, police arrested Martinson in Indiana, where she fled with her boyfriend. In March, she ultimately pleaded guilty to second-degree homicide and is serving 23 years in prison. “I’m happy,” Martinson said during an exclusive interview with Crime Watch Daily, which aired Tuesday. “I know that sounds crazy, because I’m in prison, but I feel like I’m free. I can wake up every day and know that I am safe.” For the first time since she was sent to prison, Martinson is telling her own story, one about a teenage girl, abused for years by her mother’s boyfriends as her mother stood by them. “I’m not a monster,” she told Crime Watch Daily. “I never meant any of this to happen. It doesn’t make it right, what happened. But I was just a girl, an abused girl, who was forced to make a really bad decision. “I’m not the monster that they portrayed me to be.” Accounts from Martinson and professionals who interviewed her after the incident portray a teenage girl who, after years of alleged abuse, suffered severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, The Washington Post reported earlier this year. Her online presence, it seems, revealed the darker side. Martinson, who went by the pseudonym “Vampchick” on her blog titled Nightmare, purportedly posted a poem days before her parents’ deaths about torturing and killing people, according to People. “I clean the dry blood off my tools from a previous session,” she wrote in a poem called “Unworthy,” according the Daily Mail. “The last body has been disposed of just hours before, yet I have not been satisfied with the pain, agony and blood. “I bend down as they start to wake. ” ‘Welcome to hell.’ I whisper in her ear. ‘Never again will you see the light of day.’ ” Authorities confirmed last year that the blog that had been linked to Martinson was indeed associated with her; but they did not know whether the content posted under the pseudonym “Vampchick” was her original work. The blog has since been taken offline. On March 7, 2015, a day after her 17th birthday, Martinson got into an argument with her parents, she later told police. “I was supposed to move out, in with one of my friends,” she told Crime Watch Daily. “I was all packed up and ready to go that day. But my stepdad stopped me.”

Her younger sister told authorities that Martinson’s mother and stepfather had discovered that the teenager had a 22-year-old boyfriend and sent him a message on Facebook telling him to stay away from their daughter, according to court documents. “As her parents,” they wrote, “we can press charges.” They took away Martinson’s keys and cellphone, according to the documents, and forbid her from seeing him again. Martinson said: “Work and school was my freedom. He was going to take it all away.” “I was going to be 100 percent imprisoned in that house, and I believed him.” She said she grabbed her stepfather’s shotgun and went into her bedroom. She was thinking about suicide, she said. “I was sitting on my bed. I even had the end of it in my mouth, playing with the trigger,”. “Then I heard my stepdad.” “I was scared of him. I am messing with his gun — one of his precious belongings. And I thought he was going to snap on me. And I just reacted. … I raised the gun and I pulled the trigger.” “I start running down the stairs,” she added. “I was on the first landing and that’s when I saw my mom. She ended up grabbing this decorative knife that was on a shelf and the next thing I knew the knife was in my leg.” “Memories of all the bad things that happened to me, that she put me through,” she said. “And I remember stabbing her once, then twice, and then I black out and the next thing I knew there was blood everywhere.” She said at that moment, she looked over and saw her stepfather. “Seeing him scared me more,” she said. “I thought he was going to get up and he was going to see what I did. I was scared what he was going to do. “I remember pointing the tip of the gun against his head and I pulled the trigger. Boom. And in that moment, I felt the chains break around me. I was free. For the first time in my life, I felt that I was free. “He couldn’t hurt my sisters anymore. He couldn’t hurt me anymore. He couldn’t hurt anyone.” Parts of Martinson’s story, however, vary from the account in court records. For example, witnesses told police there were two gunshots close together but Martinson said she shot her stepfather once, then stabbed her mother, then shot him a second time. Martinson told investigators her mother’s boyfriends had been abusing her since she was a young child. She claimed, he raped her when she was 9 years old, according to the court documents. She said: “He was extremely abusive. “That man, that man took everything from me.” “She would send him in to tuck me in at night or to give me a bath,” she said of her mom. “She knew. She knew what was going on.” When Thomas Ayers came into the picture, Martinson said in the interview, he wasn’t much different from the others. “You know how people say that I’m the monster?” Martinson told Crime Watch Daily. “He was the monster.” Martinson said although Thomas Ayers did not hurt her physically, he would abuse her mother and sisters to punish her. “That is exactly what he did,” she said. “That was my punishment. That was the way he knew he could hurt me.” Over the years, Thomas Ayers had been accused of assault, kidnapping, child enticement and party to the crime of sexual assault of a child younger than 15, according to court documents, which noted that he “had numerous prior arrests and convictions.” Two of Martinson’s sisters told authorities that Thomas Ayers would hit them “very hard” with “a thick belt and his hand” — on several occasions until “their buttocks nearly blistered,” according to the documents. They said he had choked them and had punched one of the girls in the face, giving her a black eye. One of the girls said Thomas Ayers told them he threw their puppy around and “shot and killed him, and fed him to a bear.” He also abused Martinson’s mother, they said. The teenager told police that her stepfather once climbed on top of her mother, pinned her down, put a gun to head and pretended to sexually assault her, saying, “Just like your father,” according to court documents. Her stepfather’s brother, Don Ayers, said he did not agree with how his brother and sister-in-law were portrayed. “Thomas and Jennifer are being judged right now by what she is saying about them, but they aren’t here to defend themselves because she killed them,” he told People. “I think she stretched the truth to save her own neck.” Martinson told Crime Watch Daily that her hope is that one day her siblings can forgive her for what she’s done. “I hope that one day that they can come to me and I can tell them what really happened. The truth,” she said. “Because I do want a relationship with them. I miss them so much. ”

Photos: Kano High court sentence former banker to 195 years in prison for stealing over N21m

Kano State High Court presided by Honourable Justice Dije Abdu Aboki has convicted and sentenced one Aliyu Suleiman to 195 years imprisonment. The former banker was arraigned by the EFCC on September 30, 2014, for allegedly stealing over N21, 000,000 (Twenty one Million Naira only) from Albasu Microfinance Bank. Upon his arraignment, the convict pleaded not guilty to all the count charge brought against him by the EFCC. In her judgment on Wednesday, November 2, 2016, Justice Aboki sentenced the convict to serve two years on each of count one to forty four and fine of N300, 000 on each. Where the convict defaults the fine, he is to serve additional six months imprisonment on each count. From count 45 to 74, the convict was sentenced to fine of N500, 000 or twelve months imprisonment on each count while on count 75 to 105, he is to pay fine of N200, 000 or twelve months imprisonment on each count with the exception of count 97 which appeared to be duplication. The sentences were to run concurrently. The convict was also ordered to restitute the sum of N14, 815,000 (Fourteen Million, Eight Hundred and Fifteen Thousand Naira Only) to the Albasu Community or spend five more years in prison. The convict was a former staff of Oceanic Bank who was engaged and entrusted by the Albasu Community to take charge of their Microfinance Bank. While in charge, the convict violated that trust and siphoned over N21, 000,000 (Twenty Million Naira) by forging signatures of the other signatories to the funds.

Beyonce and Dixie Chicks performance deleted from CMA website, social media after several racist comments

The organizers at the Country Music Awards deleted all references and images of Beyonce and the Dixie Chicks from their website after many racist comments from fans against the 4 women. The performance of Beyonce's hit, "Daddy Lessons," with the Dixie Chicks on Wednesday night at the CMA went viral and was trending for racist reasons, but by Thursday morning the video of the performance on CMAWorld.com had been deleted. According to TMZ, Sources directly connected with the CMAs said the performance was deleted because of fans who posted racist and other harsh comments. They also deleted the women from all social media platforms but they did not delete the women from Snapchat ... they only deleted the ladies from CMA accounts where users can place comments. Some of the comments were:

"That's right folks. Beyonce performed at the CMAs last night & is on a mission to take country music away from us, hardworking white people!" "Beyonce overrated racist n***er bitch." "@Beyonce the cop hater? No thanks," "What place does @Beyonce who vilifies police officers who keep us safe have to do with #CMAawards50?" But of course the Beyhive wasn't having any of it.

Nicole Kidman Talks "Deep and Personal" Bond to Her Adopted Children

Nicole Kidman's latest film is near and dear to her heart. In an interview with Town and Country, the 49-year-old discusses her personal connection to "Lion," a film in which she plays an adoptive mom whose son Saroo (played by Dev Patel) embarks on a search for his birth mother. "I can see now, for 'Lion,' that it was important to me because I'm a mother with adopted children," said Kidman, who together with ex-husband Tom Cruise, adopted Isabella, 23, and Connor, 21. "This movie is a love letter to my children," she continued. "[My character] Sue is deeply maternal and full of unconditional love, which is beautiful. That's why I wanted to do it. I relate to that. I feel that for my own children who are adopted. It's not about anything else other than 'I wanted you.' It's that deep and personal, and whatever your journey is, I'm here to love and support you. That's what I connected to."

Together with husband Keith Urban, Kidman is also a parent to Sunday Rose, 8, and Faith Margaret, 5. But the Australian actress reveals that not all her film choices are guided by her maternal instincts. In fact, she admits that sometimes she's completely clueless about what attracts her to a role. "I call myself the wild card because I have no idea what it is," she explained about picking projects. "I'm so spontaneous—sometimes to my detriment and sometimes my benefit—but it's how I've always been. My husband never knows what I'm going to choose. And then he'll ask me to explain why and I can't!"

One thing the actress, who posed in Dior Haute Couture and Tiffany & Co. baubles for the shoot, does know for certain is that listening to her instincts has never steered her wrong in career or personal life. "The mistakes I've made have always involved people not matching the extreme artistic desire—when I've tried to be a bit more homogenized, or tried not to be as bold," she explained. "When I've been guided into places that don't suit what I am intrinsically—that's when it doesn't work out…I've been the same way since I was 14. I don't conform. That's just my nature." Kidman’s Town & Country issue hits newsstands Nov. 15.

Lovely photos of Jose Mourinho and wife Matilde

The reign of Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford has been soaked with different controversies in which the latest among all is the one match touching ban. The very experienced gaffer has won virtually all major trophies in club football and still yearns for more. Mourinho married Matilde Faria in 1989. The couple met as teenagers in Setubal, Portugal where Mourinho grew upand they have two children; a son and a daughter. The former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid tactician usually seizes every opportunity to express his love for his wife. Although, controversy set-in in 2007 after Mourinho was first fired at Chelsea as he was alleged to be having an affair with a woman named Elsa Sousa whom he met during his reign at FC Porto.

Man forces wife into prostitution to raise money

A woman has accused her husband of forcing her into prostitution for his own selfish gain. An annoyed wife identified as Junior Phiri, accused her husband of making her sleep with a total stranger whom he needed to get some money from. According to Phiri, her husband Douglas Hazvinei Gondo, claimed he was supposed to get the sum of $3,000 (N1,410,000) from the man, to be able to complete a project he had started.

Gondo however turned around to humiliate his wife after she had done the deed for his gain. He frustrated her, by calling her a prostitute, this led to his wife deciding to end the marriage. Here’s what she said: “This man is saying that I am a prostitute yet he is the one who pleaded with me to have sexual relations with a certain man so that he would go and claim money from him. Aiti anoda kusetera munhu trap so that he gets money to start a business. I am shocked that now he is saying I am a prostitute. He has not been taking care of the family. I am the one who has been doing everything for the children. I used to be a cross boarder but not anymore. In fact I have told him a number of times that I am no longer interested in the marriage but he keeps forcing me to love him. Anoda kuita murume mubedroom chete (TRANSLATION:” he loves me in the bedroom only”)? Ndakakuudza kangani kuti handichakuda (TRANSLATION: I have told you many times that I do not love you) but you are still forcing me to be with you. Unodei pahure zvaunoramba uri pandiri (TRANSLATION: What do you want with a harlot? you’re still with me).” According to Phiri, Gondo even dragged her to court after she reported a case of assault to the police. She said: “He just brought me to court as a way of trying to shame me but the truth of the matter is that I am the one who takes care of the children. He does not buy anything for anyone. Our eldest child is now selling buckets in Mbare because their father is failing to take care of his family. My children have asked me to move out with them because they see how worthless their father is.”

Gondo had this to say about his wife: “This woman who is my wife is a prostitute. She has so many lovers and the evidence is in her mobile phone which I confiscated. She uses her job as a cover for her promiscuous behaviour. She once lied that she was going out of the country for work and she went to sleep with one of her lovers. She says she has to fend for the children and her parents so she has no other choice but to be a prostitute. One of her lovers is a doctor. I asked her to stop paying for the children’s school fees and to do anything for them because I wanted her to stop prostituting but now because she has failed to heed my words I want her to maintain the children and I.” He also insisted that Phiri has to take care of their children, he gave his reason as: “I want her to take care of the children and I and I know that she can afford to do so because she is a cross border who is also a hairdresser. She earns US$800 per month. She has no other children and no other husband except for boyfriends only. I am a vendor and I get about US$100 per month. My wife is capable of paying the said amount because she has the money.” Na wa ooo!

6 Things every artiste can learn from Iyanya

As with every other profession, growth is also essential for every musician to flourish in his/her career.

Iyanya recently signed a recording deal with Don Jazzy’s imprint Mavin Records. His decision left many wondering why he would go from being a label boss to just an artiste. The singer revealed to Pulse Nigeria today, November 2, 2016 he felt it was time for him to transition from his former position to one that enabled him focus on just making music. Here are five career lessons we can all learn from the ‘Kukere’ singer’s recent move. 1. Be honest with yourself

It would have been easy for Iyanya to have lied to himself and said things were working when it wasn’t. Obviously the singer wanted more. He recently told Pulse he left his old label Made Men Music Group because he felt it was time. As a creative soul, it is important for you to be honest with yourself. You can’t grow if you keep yourself inside a box. Don’t run away from your truth. 2. Don’t be afraid

In Nigeria, we’ve got something called the big-boy syndrome - most people want to be seen as wealthy and successful with a bad-a** title to match when in reality it's all a facade. Iyanya was not afraid to leave the title of label boss behind. He did this in order to focus on his other positions as an artiste and a musician. 3. Collaboration is key

There’s a saying “No man is an Island”; it’s the same in music and in music business - you don’t have to do it all on your own. After working with Don Jazzy on his popular song ‘ Gift’, Iyanya and Jazzy recognized their music chemistry and they their collaborations eventually lead to a signing.

Mavin Record’s is one of the very few labels that knows their onions when it comes to the music business, artiste branding, development and promotion - so yes Iyanya made the right move. The singer is also working with Temple Management Company, a talent management company in Nigeria. 5. Learn from your mistakes and don’t stop learning

Without any background in business, Iyanya began his record label, Made Men Music Group (Triple MG) with his friend and business partner Ubi Franklin. The singer learnt on the go and obviously knows more now than he did then. 6. Rebrand

Never ever be afraid to rebrand. His image is the same however his vibe is different. On his first single release under the Supreme Mavin Dynasty is all about serious business. ‘Up to something’, draws from the singer’s past and looks towards his future. It's more or less a teaser for what's coming next, but it's clear a new Iyanya is here

I have sex with strange women, animals - Man (photo)

A man who attempted to hang himself behind a primary school in Zanda, a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, has blamed spiritual forces, saying he did not know what came over him.

According to Punch, the 48-year old father of one stated that he was not himself when he climbed a tree in an attempt to commit suicide in a nearby bush, adding that he just found himself on the tree along with the rope he wanted to use to kill himself. Elegbede, who worked with a construction company in Abuja, twice attempted to hang himself which made his neighbours to alert policemen, who came to arrested him. Before the suicide attempt, he had written a note in which took responsibility for the planned crime and also asked for forgiveness from his family and neighbours. He said, “I also started having strange dreams in which I find myself having intercourse with strange women and even animals. I worship at the Mountain of Fire and Miracle church in Abuja, but I couldn’t go for prayers or deliverance because I work from Monday to Sunday and there was no time for any other thing. I believe my problem is spiritual because I can’t even explain how I found myself on the tree with a rope to hang myself.

Cheating wife caught with lover on matrimonial bed by husband (Photos)

Another cheating Kenyan wife has been caught red handed by husband while having sex with her lover on their matrimonial bed.

It seems Kenyan women are becoming more promiscuous by the day as another cheating wife has been caught by her husband while having sex with her co-worker. The woman who is said to be married with three children, according to neighbours, had the habit of bringing men to her family home in a suburb of Nairobi whenever the husband was at work but on the day she was busted, she thought the husband would be away for long. So she invited her colleague lover to the house for a sex romp but while in the middle of it, the husband came back from work and caught the adulterous pair right on his bed having sex. The angry husband was said to have forced the woman to join the lover boy and leave his house.
