Sources say that Diana has made no moves whatsoever not to fulfil her role that Michael intended for her. Also it says that Michael didn’t trust anyone in his family besides, his mother, to raise the children. Michael loved Diana and chose her for a very specific reason.

US storm death toll rises

The worst storms to slam southern US states in years flattened buildings and overturned vehicles, with intense tornados and floods leaving a trail of destruction and 190 people dead.

In the deadliest series of storms in nearly four decades in the United States, 128 people were killed in Alabama, the worst-hit state.

In Mississippi, 32 were killed, while 10 people died in Georgia and 11 in Arkansas. Louisiana and Tennessee also reported deaths as the clusters of powerful tornadoes and storms tore a swathe of destruction from west to east.

U.S President, Barack Obama declared a state of emergency for Alabama and ordered federal aid for the stricken state.

The World's Tallest Female

19 year-old Malee Duangdee from eastern Thailand is the world’s tallest female. Towering head and shoulders above her parents, this giant teenager is a whopping 6ft 10 in and she could still be growing.

Medics found a brain tumour that was pressing on a nerve. This caused a hormone imbalance which meant she never stopped growing - and now she has to have an injection that costs £2,000 every three months to control her growth.

As a result of her tumour, Malee has lost her sight. She suffered a lot of bullying while in school, but seems to be more comfortable now after leaving school.

24 year-old kills 13 children in a school in Brazil and then kills himself

24-year-old Wellington de Oliveira shot dead 13 children at a Rio de Janeiro school and then himself

Wellington de Oliveira, 24, killed 13 children and injured 20 more in yesterday's attack on Tasso de Oliveira elementary school in the Realengo suburb of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

He roamed the halls of the school for children aged 10 to 15, lining his victims against a wall and shooting them in the head at point blank range as he shouted 'I'm going to kill you all!' He had told school officials who approached him that he was there to deliver a speech, and then opened fire on students with two pistols.

Two boys, one with a gunshot wound, fled the school and ran to two police officers on patrol two blocks away. The officers sprinted to the school and exchanged fire with the gunman. He was hit in the leg, fell down and realizing he was caught, shot himself in the head.

How sad… I wonder what possesses people to do things like this.

Elections postponed till Monday

The general elections for the National Assembly has been postponed across all the states in the Federation until Monday 4th April.

I’m quite disappointed. Had high hopes for this elections.

I was among a team of journalists that went round with the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Lagos, Kunle Ogunmola, and all was well in the morning, at least at the centers we visited. Though some were yet to start because they didn’t have their materials, it was quite peaceful.

Not until we heard the news that the elections had been postponed. The INEC Chairman and his Commissioners gave so much assurances that everything was ready…. so it was quite disappointing to hear that they didn’t have enough materials spread round all the polling centers to conduct the elections today.

After hearing the news, the Commissioner was no where to be found for comments. Guess we have to wait till Monday.
