You become a cannibal.

I remember when a documentary was made about the decay of structures and facilities in this institution... In 2014/early 15. Its a shame on the police force that not much was done to address the issue and avert disasters like this. God rest the dead.

Love, Beauty, Time

That's a Bat

Ummm... Very unfortunate. I guess he did not count his blessing one by one before settling for suicide.

1.He had admission. - if only he knew the number of people patronising Jamb every year without making the cut.

2. He had accommodation. There are hundreds of students hanging and squatting all over campus but he wasn't in that category.

In fact let me not help him list them... Taking his life was a weak decision. He should have disqualified himself when he was still a spermatozoa and allowed other active competitors win the race to life.

People should be contented with what the have. Betting and gambling kills many more people and destinies than HIV.

I wish him rest tho

Congratulations.

Lol... Ogbeni, if you ask me na who I go ask? Pity him bro.

A decade? That has been the norm. They should sack all those criminals to make room for young blood joor.

Ummm.. The pastor retire? Abi the church has been dissolved? BTW.. Who gets the money from the sales? Will it be refunded back to all the poor church members who contributed and raised money to build the church?

I am just asking.

Liver

Oboy... See cutting to size abeg.

He who pays the piper ditactes the tune.

That's nice. Now we are all Nigerians. No more Biafra and Nigeria dichotomy. Lol. I love Ibo people ehn.. Business comes first.

How can this people claim to be of God when they cannot practice Forgiveness and Love which are foundational to the Christian faith?

With what guts and conviction will they teach their congregation to forgive one another as Christ forgave the church?


When Men and women of 'God' cannont exhibit forgiveness and love which are fruits of the spirit, and coin out terms as 'irreconcilable difference' then you know that the devil has finally worn prada!

And so, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I am absent, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12

Let's focus on living a an acceptable life before God and leave all these bling bling and hyper prosperity pastors alone.

Hmmm... 73%. That's more like living from hand to mouth. Yet people kill themselves to get paid jobs.

Lol.. He was experiencing AC for the first time probably.

ApexTitan:

Steven Omakoji Achema #blessed memory

Rest well

Lol. Imagine all those criminals in the senate (past governors et all) who joined hands together to bleed us into recession surmorning the president. Intact, they should all bury their heads in shame that some of them were the masterminds behind the reckless and wayward leadership that has landed us in this mess.

Btw, they need some sense to know that you 'Invite' and not summon the president to the floor. Infact...

Blessed are the #peacemakers

Congratulations Juan Manuel Santos.

All the trigger and bomb happy governments should learn conflict resolution.

Lol... Not guts no Glory

Safe Journey and #Goodluck.

Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940), also known as the Alton Giant and the Giant of Illinois, was an American who became famous as the tallest person ever in human recorded history for whom there is irrefutable evidence.[3] The Alton and Illinois monikers reflect the fact that he was born and raised in Alton, Illinois.[1]

Wadlow reached 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m)[2][4][5] in height and weighed 439 lb (199 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hyperplasia of his pituitary gland, which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

Early life Edit

Wadlow was born to Addie Johnson and Harold Wadlow in Alton, Illinois, on February 22, 1918, and was the eldest of five children. He was taller than his father at age 8, and in elementary school they had to make a special desk for him due to his size. By the time he had graduated from Alton High School in 1936, he was 8 ft 4 in (2.54 m).[1] After graduating he enrolled in Shurtleff College with the intention of studying law.

Later years and death Edit

Wadlow's size began to take its toll: he required leg braces to walk and had little feeling in his legs and feet. Despite these difficulties, he never used a wheelchair.

Wadlow became a celebrity after his 1936 U.S. tour with the Ringling Brothers Circus. In 1938, he did a promotional tour with the International Shoe Company (since 1966 called INTERCO). They provided him his shoes free of charge. Examples still exist in several locations throughout the U.S., including Snyder's Shoe Store of Ludington and Manistee, Michigan, and the Alton Museum of History and Art. He continued participating in tours and public appearances, though only in his normal street clothes.[6] He possessed great physical strength until the last year of his life, when his strength and his health in general began to deteriorate rapidly.[citation needed]

Wadlow was a member of the Order of DeMolay, the Masonic-sponsored organization for young men. He was also a Freemason. In 1939, he petitioned Franklin Lodge #25 in Alton, Illinois, and by late November of that year[7] was raised to the degree of Master Mason under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Illinois A.F and A.M.. His Freemason ring was the largest ever made.[citation needed]

One year before his death, Wadlow passed John Rogan as the tallest person ever. On June 27, 1940 (eighteen days before his death), he was measured at 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) by doctors C. M. Charles and Cyril MacBryde of Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.[citation needed]

On July 4, 1940, during a professional appearance at the Manistee National Forest Festival, a faulty brace irritated his ankle, causing a blister and subsequent infection. Doctors treated him with a blood transfusion and emergency surgery, but his condition worsened due to an autoimmune disorder, and on July 15, 1940, 11 days after contracting the infection, he died in his sleep at the age of 22.[citation needed] He was buried at the Oakwood Cemetery in Upper Alton, Madison County, Illinois.

Legacy Edit

A life-size statue of Wadlow stands on College Avenue in Alton, opposite the Alton Museum of History and Art. It was erected in 1986, in honor of the well-known native.[1][8] Others stand in the Guinness Museums in Niagara Falls and Gatlinburg, as well as several of the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museums. A group of six life-size models of him, made by artist James Butler, exist, and are shipped and displayed in replica caskets.[9]

Another life-size statue of Wadlow may be viewed at Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum in Farmington Hills, Michigan. In front of it is a small, quarter-operated "TV-box", which plays a short, documentary movie about his extraordinary short life.

Wadlow is still affectionately known as the "Gentle Giant".
