EventsSultan Kosen Is Married (World's Tallest Man) by Fatdon(op): 7:04pm On Oct 28, 2013
The world's tallest man has married - and his new bride barely reaches his waist.

At 5'8" Merve Dibo isn't a particularly short lady, but next to her giant groom Sultan Kosen, who looms at an enormous 8'3", she looks positively tiny.

Turkish farmer Sultan, who has size 28 feet, is almost three feet taller than his blushing bride.

Sultan, who also holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest hands and feet, said he had given up on his quest to find love until he met Merve.

The gentle giant said: "How unfortunate I could not find a suitable girl of my own size. My fiancee is over 1.75 meters tall, but I believe I've found the person for me."

The previous holder of the tallest person honours was China's Bao Xishun who was 'only' 7'9".

At the Guinness World Records show in 2010, Sultan got to meet his counterpart at the other end of the height scale, the late He Pingping who was just 2'5".

PoliticsCashless Policy: CBN Toapply Charges Onwithdrawals, Depositsfrom Oct.2 by Fatdon(op): 11:14am On Sep 29, 2013
Abuja – The Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) says it will start
applying charges on withdrawals
and deposits above N500,000 for
individuals and N2 million for
corporate bodies from Oct. 2.
Mr Tunde Lemo, Deputy
Governor, Operations, said this in
Abuja on Friday while briefing
newsmen at the end of the Special
Forum on Financing the Power
Sector Reforms for Economic
Development.
He said that the action would
ensure effective implementation
of the cashless policy.
The CBN had given a three-month
moratorium for the full
implementation of charges to
customers who withdraw or
deposit money higher that what
was stipulated in the Cashless
policy document.
“We will start applying the
charges from the second of
October which is Wednesday
because the three months
moratorium would have expired.
“We are glad to announced that
having worked with stakeholders,
we’ve been able to ramp up
facilities in Abuja and five other
locations and then we are set to
build up the critical mass
requirement in the cashless in
those areas.’’
Lemo said that from Oct. 2, any
customer that deposited above
N500, 000 per day would be
charged two per cent payment
on it while withdrawal would
attract three per cent charge.
“For corporate, the threshold is
N2 million, if you deposit or
withdraw any money above the
threshold per day, if it is deposit,
it will attract three per cent
charges and if it is withdrawal it
attracts five per cent.
“Those are the charges that are
already applicable in Lagos area
that we are now bringing to this
location.’’
He said that customers needed
not to pass through the onerous
task of depositing and
withdrawal over the counter but
advised the use of electronic fund
transfer.
He said that electronic payment
in Lagos accounted for 70 per
cent to 80 per cent of high value
transactions on daily basis.
Lemo said that the NIBSS Instant
Payment (NIP) driven by Nigerian
Inter Bank Settlement System
(NIBSS), together accounted for
three times the volume of
cheques used in transactions.
On Connectivity of Point of Sales
(POS) and efficiency of
Automated Teller Machines (ATM),
he said that the apex bank was
working with the Telecoms to
expand the bandwidth for
service delivery.
“Now, we are also working with
other service providers to
provide the roaming facility.
“What will happen is that if you
have a POS that is linked with
MTN, if MTN is not working, it can
then roam to hit other service
provider and then settlement will
be done at the end of the day.
“We are going to see a lot better
connectivity in the next couple of
weeks in those areas.’’
He said that POS availability had
been increased in Abuja and five
other locations by five folds
between January and September
with the available statistics.
Lemo said that before the
introduction of the cashless
policy in Nigeria, only two per
cent of retail transactions were
done electronically, but noted
that in one year, it had gone up
to 20 per cent.(NAN)

Some of the traditional rulers

“I promise to continue to maintain
peace and unity in my community,
because we are peace loving
people.
“I thank the ministers and promise
to give them my support, while

administration,’’ he said.
The Agora of Zuba, Alhaji
Mohammed Umar,
promised to intensify efforts
aimed at ensuring the success of
the administration’s
transformation agenda.
Umar, who was one of the newly
installed traditional rulers,
described his installation as
recognition of his contribution to
the development of his community.
“I will continue to bring new
innovations into my community; I
express my sincere gratitude to
the ministers for installing me and
giving me a staff of office,’’ he
said.
Also speaking, Alhaji Abdullahi
Adamu, the Etsu of Yaba, said: “It
is not easy to be installed by the
government; this is a milestone in
the history of our community.
“Today’s installation will no
doubt encourage me to do more
for the present government in
maintaining peace and promoting
development in my domain,” he
said.
Mr Ibraheem Yaro, the Esu of
Bwari, thanked the FCT ministers
for giving him the staff of office
and his people for their support
and cooperation.
