Meet the woman who sees the world upside down
Take a good look at the newspaper and computer all
upside down,that is how Bojana Danilovic sees the world this is as a result of
a rare condition called a unique worldview.
The 28-year-old Serbian council employee uses an upside down monitor at work and relaxes at home in front of an upside down television stacked on top of the normal one that the rest of her family watches.
"It may look incredible to other people but to me it's completely normal," Danilovic told local newspaper Blic.
"I was born that way. It's just the way I see the world.
Experts from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been consulted after local doctors were flummoxed by the extremely unusual condition. They say she is suffering from a neurological syndrome called "spatial orientation phenomenon," Blic reports. Danilovic is able to perform her work normally by using an inverted monitor.
"They say my eyes see the images the right way up but my brain changes them," Danilovic said. "But they don't really seem to know exactly how it happens, just that it does and where it happens in my brain. "They told me they've seen the case histories of some people who write the way I see, but never someone quite like me."

Yes, Kunle Coker was actually my boyfriend, but he did not bring me to the industry-Genevieve Nnaji
Detail from Genevieve Nnaji’s interview
with Azuh Arinze of Yes Magazine, Genevieve Nnaji talks about finding the right
man, her relationship with Kunle
Coker and plans to go back to school. Excerpts...
How did you come into the movie
industry?
"I have been acting since I was eight in Ripples. That was how I got into acting. For movies, I think that should be in 1998 in Most Wanted. I met Torino (Emeka Ojukwu) in a bus and to my greatest surprise, he recognized me from Ripples. He asked me why I left the industry and later invited me to the audition for Most Wanted. I got a role. A waka pass and that was it."

Is it true that you dumped him for Fred Amata
"Fred Amata? I've never had anything to do with Fred Amata. I used to call him uncle, so I don't see the reason why I should date Fred. We are just friends.
What would you say is the worst story ever written about you in the press?
"So many bad things. But the one I hated most was the one about Fred Amata and I. It hurt me so much. I don't know where they got that story from." Tell us about the first time you fell in love "I think we met at a show. This was when I was in secondary school. (Her baby daddy). We shared a lot of things in common - singing. It was a case of two compatible people who were so much in love So what eventually happened? "Relationships sometimes come to an end."
What's your greatest wish? "That God continues to bless me. Especially with the right man and a good family." It's like you are eager to get married "No. The thing is just that there comes a time in your life where everything is going fine and all you can say to yourself is after this, what next? After everything you have to get married as far as you're a woman.
Why have you not furthered your education?
"Life is not the same for everybody. Some people are lucky they come out of secondary school and go straight to university. Mine was different. But I'm determined. Definitely I'm going back to school. I wanted to make money. I love my money. I cherish my own money. So I will go back when I make enough. But even while I'm there I won't stop working."
What part of a man's body do you like most? "A man's chest, from the belly up.
Where do you hope to be in the next ten years? "In the next ten years, I know I will be married with kids. But I think it all depends on what God has fashioned out for me. I know I will still be in the entertainment industry or the fashion world."

He thought he was on his way to US,Teenager that hid in an Arik plane tyre
Naïve yet so determined, Daniel Ihekina, who was arrested at
the Lagos Airport after flying in the tyre hole of an Arik plane from Benin to
Lagos on Saturday morning, thought he was on a US-bound flight.
An airport source, who did not want his name in print spoke
to Punch
“From what we
heard, the boy said he was being maltreated and tried to escape from his
parents. He thought he was on his way to the US.The parents have travelled to
Lagos by road, to get him back.”
The General Manager, Corporate Communications, Federal
Airports Authority of Nigeria, Mr. Yakubu Dati, said
“The residential address the boy gave to us was traced to a
church in Benin by our airport manager and his team. So, there is need to hand
over the teenager to the SSS who are experts in such investigations. They will
carry out further investigation on the matter.”

Biodun Fatoyinbo COZA pastor addresses his congregation this morning against the messy allegation
"...I
am sure you have read a lot about me on Twitter and social networks. You can't
imagine how many people have called me...everyone is telling me, don't talk,
that is the painful part but because I am your pastor and I don't like to take
you for granted, I still want to bend it a little bit to talk about it. Even up

read my lips, we are going to speak but we are consulting to come out with a

members that have made me proud and have made God proud.One thing you can be
sure of is that my wife and I love u."
Church erupts into clapping & shouting.....
"Now you may sit down and say, why would they tell you that, in the first place. From this pulpit there are some things we don't say. Maybe you remember that 2 years ago, we lost somebody in our family, I came to church, I preached, I danced, I didn't say it. That was even deeper for me because my destiny is not in anybody's hand...that loss was deeper for me than even this and I didn't talk so don't think it is a makeup. That is what we have been asked to do. When we asked God, God said be quiet. Thank you"
