Men Don't Fancy Skinny Girls... Woman With The Largest Hips

The woman with the world's largest hips still insists she is the perfect size and won't slim down. Mikel Ruffinelli's hips and bottom measure a staggering 8ft around.

Yet despite being 5' 4" and weighing 420lbs, Mikel, 39, who features in TLC’s documentary World’s Biggest Hips, insists that she sees no reason to slim down or shape up .She says he husband loves her that way and men prefer her figure to slim ladies.

'I love my shape and I see no reason to diet because I don’t have health problems,''I love my curves, I love my hips, I love my attributes.'

She regularly faces negative attention as well, noting that she often sees others whisper, point, and laugh when they see her. People even take photos and record video of her on their phones. But, she insists, not all of the reactions are critical. Rather, men she encounters seem to prefer her record-breaking size.

'Men don’t fancy skinny girls, they like an hourglass figure,' she says. 'I think it's very feminine to have curves. It makes us womanly, it makes us beautiful. I rather be this size and happy, with me loving me, than to be skinny, that size, and be unhappy.'

Her husband, Reggie, agrees. He adds with a wink:

'I tell people all the time: I have a license to work with heavy equipment.'

Protesting Militants Barricades Road

Protesting ex-militants, yesterday, barricaded the Mbiama axis of the East-West Road over alleged non-payment of their allowances by the amnesty office.

The protesters, led by the Bayelsa State Third Phase Amnesty chairman, Ebi John, trooped to the road as early as 7a.m., and blocked the road, obstructing free flow of traffic.

Motorists and travellers plying the route were stranded as the protesters chanted war songs demanding the payment of their allowances without further delay.

But military patrol vans and two Armoured Personnel Carriers, APCs, driven by soldiers were said to have swooped on the youths.

The soldiers were said to have shot into the air many times to dislodge the youths from the road.
John accused the amnesty office of insensitivity, adding that the office and the Accountant-General were deliberately delaying their allowances.

He said they earlier went to Abuja to lodge the same complaint but the Amnesty office unleashed terror on them using soldiers.

Workers Shut Down Ait And Raypower Over 17 Months Unpaid Salaries

Workers of Daar Communications Plc, operators of African Independent Television (AIT) and Raypower FM Radio, yesterday shut down all broadcasting activities at the Benin studio in protest over unpaid 17 months salaries.

The scores of protesting workers were said to have blocked the main entrance to the station located along the Benin/Lagos bypass.

It was gathered that the protesting workers put at about fifty workers, were owed salaries spanning between 12 and 17 months.

According to Pm News, one of workers who claimed anonymity said that newly employed staff of AIT were being owed 12 months while old staff were yet to be paid salaries between 13 months and staff of the Raypower FM, the Radio arm of the broadcast outfit were owed 17 months.

“The stations generate millions of naira on a daily basis, so there is no reason why we should not be paid our salaries. They have no excuse not to pay us our money. It is share wickedness and man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. We have families to care for and children to pay their school fees. Many of our children have stopped going to school. But their own attend schools abroad.

Look at where our station is located, in another village so far away from Benin City. You have to chatter a taxi cab for not less than N500.00 to get there if you miss the staff bus. And not even every cab driver will agree to go there because of the wrong location of the station, yet, they expect us to be there everyday, whether you have anything to do or not,” he said.

PDP Sued Over 70m Campaign Contract

The Peoples Democratic Party and two officials of its Presidential campaign organisation, have been sued by a firm, Silon Concepts Limited, for their alleged refusal to pay an outstanding N70m balance for a campaign contract.

The firm filed a suit marked CV/2017/15 before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja on Thursday., June 3.

Silcon Concepts is demanding full payment for the ‘voice SMS campaign broadcast’ ‎it sent out to voters on behalf of the PDP’s Presidential candidate, former President Goodluck Jonathan, before the March 28, 2015 Presidential poll.

The two other members of the ‎campaign organisation who are defendants in the case are; the chairman, Ahmadu Ali, and director of finance, Senator Nenadi Usman.

Apart from the N70m balance, the plaintiff asked the court to compel the defendants to also pay N15m, which is the cost of the suit.

The plaintiff’s suit had read: “An order compelling the defendants to pay the plaintiff the sum of N70m being the outstanding balance for the contract executed by the plaintiff for the defendants.

“An order compelling the defendants to pay N15m being the cost of the suit. An or‎der compelling the defendants to pay the bank an annual interest rate of 10 per cent on the sum of N70m until the said sum is fully liquidated.”

No Severance Pay For Jonathan, Sambo Others till 2016

Former President Goodluck Jonathan, former Vice President, Namadi Sambo, non returning federal lawmakers as well as immediate past ministers and presidential aides, will not get their severance allowances until 2016.

Going by the remuneration package put together by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, their severance allowances is valued at about N3.24bn.

Sources at the Ministry of Finance in Abuja confided to Punch Newspapers on Thursday, June 4, that the allowances of the political office holders that left office last week were not included in the budget for 2015.

The year’s budget, which was passed by the National Assembly and signed by Jonathan on April 28, only makes provision of N2.3bn for “entitlements of former Presidents/Heads of state and Vice Presidents/Chiefs of General Staff.”

The Ministry official revealed that the severance pay was not included in this year’s budget, because the outcome of the April 2015 elections could not be ascertained, when the 2015 budget was being prepared last year.

He said as a result of this, there was no way the Budget Office could have determined the number of political office holders that would not be re-elected.

The official was quoted to have said: “You will recall that the 2015 budget was prepared sometime last year and during the budget preparation, the elections had not been held.”

“So it would be wrong to include the severance package of political office holders in the budget because as of the time the budget was prepared, these people were still holding political offices. Secondly, including their severance package before the elections were conducted would mean that we were pre-empting the outcome of a political process.”

“So what we do is to wait for the outcomes of elections and on the strength of this, we can know the number of people that have left office and those re-elected. As for those political office holders that are leaving office this year, their severance package would be included in the 2016 budget which would be prepared later in the year.”
