Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg now $1.6 billionricher than Google owners :

When Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page became billionaires many years ago, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was still struggling with the social networking site. But now he's richer than them, this is according to Bloomberg. See the full report from Bloomberg below…
The Facebook Inc. chairman added $1.6 billion to his fortune yesterday after the world's largest social network closed at a record. The surge elevated the 30-year-old's net worth to $33.3 billion, moving him past Brin, 40, and Page, 41, as well as Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos, 50, on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Zuckerberg is No. 16 on the ranking. The Google founders are 17th and 18th. Bezos occupies the 20th spot.
"He's just getting started," David Kirkpatrick, author of "The Facebook Effect," said in a telephone interview. "He's going to become the richest person on the planet."The Menlo Park, California-based company posted second-quarter sales that soared 61 percent to $2.91 billion yesterday, exceeding analysts' average estimate of $2.81 billion. The company's revenue gain follows Google's results last week, when the Web-search company posted sales that topped analysts' estimates, largely based on the strength of online ads.
Facebook has jumped 183 percent in the past 12 months, the biggest rally in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company trades at 82-times reported earnings, compared to a multiple of 18.2 for the S&P 500. Google is up 7.5 percent for the year.
Mobile promotions accounted for 62 percent of ad sales, up from 59 percent in the prior period. Net income more than doubled to $791 million, with profit excluding some items at 42 cents a share, above the projection of 32 cents. In total, Facebook accounted for 5.8 percent of worldwide digital ad revenue in 2013, up from 4.1 percent in 2012, according to EMarketer Inc.
The company's performance also propelled the fortunes of other Facebook shareholders, including Dustin Moskovitz, the 30-year-old who started the social network with Zuckerberg at Harvard University a decade ago, and Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's 44-year-old chief operating officer who became one of the world's youngest female billionaires in January. Sandberg owns about 9.9 million shares valued at $740 million and has collected more than $550 million in share sales.
"The company's success is growing by the minute," Kirkpatrick said. "There's no sign it's going to slow anytime soon."

Meet 4-year-old boy who speaks with his dead grandparents

This is not from a movie scene or anything close to fiction.The parents of a four-year-old boy, Elijah Howell, was noticed for his unusual behaviour which was later termed as supernatural ability by a psychic expert who confirmed the little boy's unusual behaviour.
According to his parents Greg, 40, and Heather Howell, 38 from Napels, Florida, Elijah started talking in full sentences at 10 months old and would speak to his dead grand parents.
Daily Mail reports:
Mrs Howell said that the infant went on to correctly predict her miscarriage and that she would later give birth to twin boys. 'I found it so spooky, but not in a negative way,' she exclaimed.
Recalling the incident, she continued: 'While I was pregnant Elijah said, "Mommy, your baby is going to go with God."
'I said "Don't say that Elijah, don't say things like that", because I was scared because he knows things.
'I did miscarry a couple of days later and he kept stroking me and telling me it was going to be OK Cause for concern: Heather and Greg Howell from Naples, Florida, said they noticed their
son's unusual behavior from a young age Seeing into the future: Mrs Howell said that Elijah correctly predicted her miscarriage and that she would later give birth to twin boys (pictured)
'A while later he said, "Don't worry mommy, you're going have two babies and they're two boys", and in my head I thought he just wanted brothers.
'Months later we ended up finding out we were having twins – and that they were boys.'
The Howells called upon psychic expert, Denise Lescano, to determine if Elijah was really seeing spirits or displaying signs of mental illness.
During her visit with the family Ms Lescano communicated with Mrs Howell's dead grandparents to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Supernatural powers: The 1999 blockbuster, The Sixth Sense, tells the story of Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), pictured, a troubled, isolated boy who is able to see and talk to the dea, She discovered that Mrs Howell's mother,
Elijah's grandmother, was the one who
delivered the message about the miscarriage and the birth of the twins.
'Elijah displays all the signs of being a very gifted child with the ability to connect with the spirit world,' Ms Lescano said.
'He has a very strong sense of having lived before and speaks of past lives.'
Ms Lescano left the Howells with instructions about how to handle their son's interactions with the spirit world.
Mrs Howell concluded: 'I feel much more at ease now after Denise's visit, she's given us a lot to think about.
The Howells called upon psychic expert, Denise Lescano (pictured), to determine if Elijah was really seeing spirits or displaying signs of mental illness – she confirmed that the younger does have sixth sense
'We're all looking to Elijah to see how his gifts develop and can't thank Denise enough for sharing her gift with us.'
As well as working with families, Ms Lescano, who believes she has been psychic since the age of nine, has spent years helping police solve murder and missing persons case using her psychic ability.
She says her goal in life is to get rid of the fear and skepticism around what she does, adding:
'This is not a scary thing, this is a very healing and comforting thing.
'When I am able to help them and really pinpoint what is going on, it is incredibly validating and relieving for the family.'

My parents initially didn't want me to marry Soyinka'- wife opens up on love story

Wife of Prof. Wole Soyinka, Folake Soyinka recently opened up on their love story in an interview with The News magazine where she revealed how she and the Nobel laureate met and her parents initial objection to their relationship.
"There were objections from everywhere except from my sisters and brother who were happy if I was. I also had the support of his siblings here. My parents along with most of my relatives objected, not because of anything, they just felt he was too famous and too accomplished. They worried about that. But within a few months after we were married, my parents had changed their mind and they loved him until they passed away. His close friends didn't have a problem with it but also everyone had an opinion. Then came the Nobel Prize in 1986 and that derailed everything for a couple of years. More than a quarter of a century later, those opinions didn't count, we are still trudging along. I have enjoyed love because of him" she said

Beyonce and Jay Z headed for divorce?

This is probably BS but it's interesting to read. Insiders are claiming Jay Z and Beyonce's marriage is all but over and the only thing keeping them together is their tour. Don't believe it but read below..

From Page Six
Beyoncé and Jay Z have more than 99 problems and only “divine intervention” can save the troubled marriage, a source close to the powerful couple has told The Post.
While Jay Z seemingly is the one most at fault, he’s also the one doing all in his power to keep the couple together, even hiring marriage counselors who are believed to be traveling with the super duo on their tour, the source said.
“They are trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing . . . This is a huge concert tour and they’ve already gotten most of the money from the promoters up front,” the source said. Continue..

Kanye West's GQ cover page story...quite interesting!

Here's Kanye's GQ cover page story...Some of you may enjoy it! Find below... 
Kanye West has been married for ten days, and he has that new-husband way with the ring still, pulling it on and off like it's something he might yet undo, or do again. The ring is gold, and understated in a way that not much else about Kanye West is. He sits in the lobby of New York's Mercer Hotel—the same hotel where he and Jay Z recorded most of Watch the Throne—reflecting on the distance he's come. "I am a black American male from Chicago," West says, "who had my rehearsal dinner at Versailles and then got married in Florence with a view of the entire city." Continue...

Rev. Chris Okotie's N400m fleet of cars

Article written by Florence Amagiya for Vanguard. I can't figure out if she's for or against him. Lol. You want to paint him as a great guy and you mention he has N400million fleet of cars and that he has other choice properties in the US worth millions of dollars? Lol. Read below..
Human beings are not naturally known to always give without thinking of what they would get in return. So it is worthy of note when a man gives so much without asking for anything in return.
Rev. Chris Okotie may not have a stunning personality to some Nigerians, but he has endeared himself to many particularly those who got a helping hand when it mattered to them. He shows love to all and occasionally dishes out different gift items.
