47 year old grandma says she wants cosmetic surgery to make her look older!


This woman is the mother of former Channel O VJ Nonhle Thema's baby daddy, Arthur Bolton. 




Grandmother Anne Bolton wants to have cosmetics surgery to make her look older because at 47 years old, she hasn't seen any sign of aging; no wrinkles, no greying hair, no sagging.



The mother-of-four says she is constantly being mistaken for a woman half her age, and says looking like a 20-year-old is actually ruining her life - and now she's thinking about having cosmetic surgery to make herself look older. Anne says that her youthful looks have ruined a marriage and two long-term relationships, as younger men constantly chat her up
You think she looks way younger than her age?


She also believes jealous friends have abandoned her because she makes them look older.




Her eldest son, who has recently become a father, hates being seen with her after being mistaken for her boyfriend.

Now size eight Anne fears her youthful looks will mean a lifetime of loneliness because she only ever gets chatted up by toyboys she has nothing in common with.

She says: 'Everyone wants to look younger but I'm not joking or exaggerating when I say looking young is ruining my life. I would do anything for a few wrinkles to look my age.
'Why I have none is a mystery to me but the older I get, the bigger the problem becomes for me. I need someone to invent the reverse of Botox because I'm desperate to look older.'


Anne married her first husband at the age of 24, but within a few years they were bickering over her looks.

She said: 'I was in my late twenties but my husband noticed much younger men looking at me and he started to get jealous.

'I wasn't interested, but as the years passed I remained looking the same age and he looked older, which led to even more rows.
'We were the same age but he hated people thinking he'd married a younger woman so I did my best to dress older.'
Eventually it drove them apart. And despite having two sons together - Arthur, now 25, and 19-year-old Kevin - they got divorced when Anne, who also does some work as a TV extra, was 32.
Four years later, she embarked on a long-term relationship with her second partner, who worked for the Royal Mail.

He was just two years older than Anne who, at 36, was often taken for a twenty-something.

She says: 'At first he loved it and complimented me on my appearance. He said he was proud to be with me.

'But soon the looks from younger guys triggered arguments. But what could I do about it?'

The couple had two sons - Joshua, now 13, and seven-year-old Jacob - yet even being a busy mother-of-four took no toll on Anne's looks.

She reveals: 'When he was 42 I still looked 22. People didn't believe I had four children.
'He hated people asking if he was my dad or brother. I could see the way things were going again.
I would have changed it if I could, only there is no operation to make you look older.'


After five years together, the couple split up and Anne feared she would never find love again.

She says: 'I was only chatted up by young guys. At first it was flattering but then it got boring.
'They want to talk about cars and nightclubs but I needed something more. There's no way I would date someone the same age as my son. Toyboys do not interest me at all.'


Eventually, aged 42, Anne met a 32-year-old.
He was mature enough for her yet, she hoped, young enough not to be concerned over her looks. But she soon faced exactly the same problems.

She said: 'People would stare at us as if we shouldn’t be together. He even got called a dirty old man. Nobody would believe I was a decade older than him and men would approach me to chat me up when I was with him because they thought he couldn't possibly be my partner.

'It became a nightmare. I was even accused of being a gold-digger because it looked like I was with a much older man. It was driving us both mad. It led to rows. It was like history repeating itself.'
Earlier this year, after five years together, they split up. Anne revealed: 'Once again I found myself alone. I was heartbroken that my life was being so badly affected by the way I looked.'

She has since struggled to meet any men her own age but has no shortage of offers from men 20 years younger.
She says 'People think that must be great but I am a grown woman with four sons. I don't want to date a kid. I want a real man, but men my age don't want to date me because it makes them look like perverts. I feel caught in a trap and I don’t know what to do.'

It's not just her love life that has suffered because of her youthful appearance. Anne used to enjoy shopping trips with eldest son Arthur, but he got fed up of his mum being mistaken for his girlfriend - making it impossible for him to meet anyone either.


Anne says: 'Girls just assumed he was taken. He found it embarrassing to have to explain to them I was his mother.

'I couldn’t believe that me looking young was stopping both me and my son from meeting anyone.'


Friendships have also been wrecked by jealousy over her looks. She says: 'As they started to look older and I just looked younger, my friends saw me as a threat to them.


'Their husbands would tell me how young I looked and it annoyed them so they stopped inviting me out. It wasn't my fault but what could I do?

'Women my own age think standing next to me makes them look old. I can see them looking me up and down - I've even been called a bitch.
'So I have to hang around with much younger women. They are good fun but deep down we're not into the same things. Some are younger than my son but what choice do I have?
'Because of the way I look I don’t feel I fit in anywhere - with young people, or those my own age. I bring out the bitchy side in women so I'm scared to try to make new friends.'


Anne, who uses just soap and water and Palmer's face cream, has even started examining her face in the mirror in the hope of finding a wrinkle.

She admits: 'Most women dread them while I am desperate to find just one. But my face and body are totally smooth.
'I’ve lost count of the times people have asked me if I could bottle my secret and sell it - I'd be a millionaire if I could.'

Another 'Cynthia story'- Movies makers have a field day!


The story has been circulating and some have said her name is Florence and she is a 300L student of University of Nigeria.


The real gist here however is that this is a scene of a movies believed to still be in the making





"This is a photo from a movie called Murder at Prime Suite Hotel, a fiction but similar to the Cynthia Osogwu murder story.
The character's name is Florence Ngwu played by an actress. The movie stars Joseph Benjamin and Chelsea Eze. The producers of the movie have released a statement. See it after the cut...

Over the last weekend, news broke out on the Internet about a certain girl, Florence Ngwu, murdered at prime suite, Lagos. We have tried to put a stop to the rumour but it keeps going viral.

I am Jumafor Ajogwu and I am the producer of the movie called, “Murder at Prime Suite” (MAPS). The movie featured stars like Joseph Benjamin, Keira Hewatch, Chelsea Eze, Okey Uzoeshi and a host of other talented upcoming acts. I want to categorically state to the general public that this is a movie; it is not a real life incident. This  movie would premiere nationwide on the 30th of August, 2013 at Genesis Deluxe Cinemas, Lekki Lagos. We cannot trace how the rumour leaked as we had several journalists on our set during principal photography but we want to put a stop to this rumour and make every Nigerian and the rest of the world know that it is a movie and not another incident like the rumour claimed.


The movie is a total fiction and a C&C Screen production’s vision to promote the value for Nigerian lives. Florence Ngwu is a character in our movie and every other character or things in the movie do not represent any true identity of living or dead".

Libyan activist Abdelsalam al-Mismari dies in Benghazi killings!




A prominent Libyan political activist and two senior security officials have been shot dead in the restive eastern city of Benghazi.
Activist Abdelsalam al-Mismari was killed as he left a mosque after Friday prayers, officials said.
A retired air force colonel and a senior police officer were also killed in separate attacks.
Libya's government is struggling to control armed groups nearly two years after Muammar Gaddafi was toppled.
The BBC's Rana Jawad in the capital Tripoli says that although Benghazi has witnessed many targeted killings, Friday saw the first assassination of an activist.
Mr Mismari, a lawyer, was one of the earliest organizers of protests that eventually led to the overthrow of dictator Col Muammar Gaddafi.
He later became a critic of the armed groups that helped to topple Gaddafi but which have since refused to lay down their weapons.
He has also opposed the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya.
"He was coming out of Friday prayers when he was shot," said Benghazi security spokesman Mohammed al-Hijazy.
"It seems it may have been the work of a sniper because he was shot in the heart."
His colleague and friend Hannah Ghallal told the BBC Mr Mismari was "a hero and a man of principle who did what he preached". Fighting back tears, she added that his death was a loss for Libya.
A large crowd later gathered in central Benghazi to protest against the killing.

BBC's correspondent says Mr Mismari's death marks a potentially dangerous turning point. Some feel it is an attempt to silence civic groups, she adds.
In separate attacks on Friday, retired air force Colonel Salem al-Sarah was killed as he emerged from a mosque and police Colonel Khatab Abdelrahim al-Zwei was shot dead at the wheel of his car, officials said.
Benghazi has seen a number of violent incidents since the fall of Gaddafi, including an attack on the US consulate last September in which the US ambassador and three other US citizens were killed.

Rivers State House of Assembly Fracas- Where is detained Chidi Lloyd!


Nigeria:



Reactions are beginning to trail the detention of the leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Chidi Lloyd, who is currently being held at the Force Headquarters in Abuja. Speaking in Port Harcourt Thursday, human rights lawyer, Ken Atswuete said it was wrong to have Mr. Lloyd detained after he willfully submitted himself to the police.

We are warning the police to ensure that they put their house in order. All parties involved must be invited. We are saying it loud and clear. They have continued to detain Chidi Lloyd. He came out voluntarily, why not let him go after 24 hours?
“We are calling on the police high command to release Chidi Lloyd on bail, and the police should go ahead and invite Evans Bipi and his cohorts so as to be objective. Otherwise, we conclude that they are subjective, which is against the law”, he noted.
Also, the Legal representative of Lloyd, Beluolisa Mofor said the detention of his client beyond 24 hours was an infringement on his human right.
He said: “Chidi Lloyd went on his own to the Inspector General of Police. He was not forcefully taken there. He went on his own to tell them he is not on the run and he was detained since Tuesday. He has been kept there. It is not right in a country where we are trying to enthrone democracy and rule of law”.
It could be recalled that Chidi Lloyd was declared wanted by the police force for the July, 9 fracas, which erupted at the Rivers State House of Assembly.

7 killed in Florida apartment building shooting!


Seven people were killed, including the gunman, in an overnight shooting at a South Florida apartment building, authorities said.


Hialeah police Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez said that the gunman was shot dead by a SWAT team member following a standoff.

During the hours-long standoff, the gunman held two hostages, who were unharmed. At least four victims were found dead inside the building, Rodriguez said early Saturday.

At least one victim, a male, was found dead across the street from the building. It was unclear if the victim was purposely targeted or if he was hit by a stray bullet, according to Rodriguez.

WSVN.com reported that the manager of the West 46th Street apartment building and his wife were among the victims. Police did not identify the gunman or the victims early Saturday.


An investigation into the shooting is ongoing, Rodriguez said.

South African man told he's too fat to live in New Zealand!


Albert Buitenhuis, a South African who weighs 130 kilograms and his wife, Marthie, said they face deportation after an application to renew their work visas was rejected because of his weight.
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) cited the demands his obesity could place on New Zealand health services and said their medical assessors deemed Albert no longer "had an acceptable standard of health".
The couple said they moved from South Africa to the main South Island city of Christchurch six years ago when Albert weighed 160 kilograms and their annual work visas were renewed without any problem.
"We applied for year after year and there were no issues. They never mentioned Albert's weight or his health once and he was a lot heavier then," Marthie told The Press newspaper.
"The irony is that at the moment he weighs less than when we first arrived in New Zealand and also less than in his first medical, which was accepted by INZ."
An INZ spokesman said Buitenhuis was rejected because his obesity put him at "significant risk" of complications including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and obstructive sleep apnoea.
"It is important that all migrants have an acceptable standard of health to minimise costs and demands on New Zealand's health services," he said.
A recent OECD report listed New Zealand as the third most obese developed nation behind the United States and Mexico.

State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Angela Agabe, who confirmed the incident while speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt, said the accident occurred at 4pm near Isiokpo Bridge along Port Harcourt-Owerri road.
Agabe said apart from Patience Jonathan’s mother, a 12-year old girl, known as Favour, and a relative of the deceased, also lost their lives in the crash.
According to her, two persons, including the driver of the vehicle, were immediately rushed to a hospital in the state capital.
The state police spokesperson explained that the corpse of Oba, popularly known as ‘Sisi’, and that of the 12-year old girl had been deposited in Kpaima Mortuary in Port Harcourt.
Earlier, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission in the state, Dr. Kayode Olagunju, had said though the FRSC could not immediately ascertain the cause of the accident, it had begun investigation to unravel the cause of the accident that killed the President’s wife’s mother.

What I can only tell you now is that we cannot say what caused the accident. We are still investigating and will definitely let you know the cause when we conclude the investigation,” Olagunju added.
It was, however, gathered that the vehicle conveying Oba to Bayelsa had veered off the road and somersaulted several times due to over speeding.

Meanwhile, Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson, has, on behalf of the government and people of the state, expressed deep shock and regret over the sudden death of the mother of the First Lady.

In a condolence message to the first family, Dickson described the death of madam Oba as “a great blow and an irreparable loss” to her immediate family and the nation as a whole. He said her motherly and wise counsel would be greatly missed by all who knew her.
He urged the First lady, the family and the Oba family of Okrika in Rivers State to accept the unfortunate incident as the will of God and take it with philosophical calmness.

Also, Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, expressed shock at the death of Oba.

In a condolence message by Uduaghan’s Press Secretary, Mr. Felix Ofou, the governor said the news of the death of the First Lady’s mother was a big blow, not only to President Goodluck Jonathan, but to the entire South-South and Nigeria at large.
Mama was not only a huge asset to the First Family, she was a mother to the South South. This is definitely a big blow to all of us,” he stated.
Uduaghan said the people and government of Delta State shared in the grief caused by the death, and prayed God to grant the First Lady, Jonathan and the nation the fortitude to bear the loss.
Our earnest prayer is that such a disaster will not visit the First Family again. We also pray for long life and good health for the mother of the nation, Mrs. Jonathan,” he added.

Similarly, Cross River State Governor Liyel Imoke commiserated with the President and his wife on the death of the mother of the First Lady.
Imoke described Oba’s death as painful and unfortunate.
In a statement on Tuesday, the governor said the incident was tragic and saddening.

It is with a sense of shock and loss that I received the sad news,” he said.
He urged the First Family to find consolation in the fact that “she lived an exemplary worthy of emulation.”
