At the age of two, this toddler shocked the world when photos of him were revealed as he was chain-smoking cigarettes.

Now, at age 5, he has reportedly kicked the habit, although he now seems to have another addiction. Food.

Aldi Rizal was discovered in a poor village in Sumatra, Indonesia, puffing on a cigarette while riding his tricycle.

After his lifestyle was discovered, he was taken for play therapy sessions in the capital Jakarta for two weeks to take his mind off his 40-a-day habit and learn to be a normal toddler for the first time.

Now, a new documentary has shown the progress made by this little boy. It has been revealed that he has managed to stay off the cigarettes, but is still dangerously unhealthy.

His mother revealed that Aldi faces temptation often:
‘There are many people still offering Aldi cigarettes, but Aldi no.”

However, Mrs Rizal is now worried about her son’s weight, as he developed food cravings while quitting smoking, and now has a big appetite.

Mrs Rizal said the strong-willed little boy now demands food in the same way he used to beg for cigarettes, and the family struggles not to give in to his tantrums.

She said: ‘When Aldi first quit smoking he would demand a lot of toys.He would bang his head on the wall if he couldn’t get what he wanted. That’s why I get him cigarettes in the first place – because of his temper and his crying. Now I don’t give him cigarettes, but he eats a lot. With so many people living in the house it’s hard to stop him from getting food.’

Mrs Rizal must also persuade Aldi’s siblings and the rest of the family not to give in and provide him with junk food when she is not around.

Doctors hope that if Aldi can lose around half a stone to a stone, his weight will eventually even out as he starts to grow taller.

Boy Genuis! If you ask me.. Hehehehehe

Olajumokeibk: Pardon ?

just tryna let you know it aint fair for ta cal'em b**ches. Tis their choice to want a fair complexion. Simple.

Danhumprey: But why those two ladies breasts dey touch each other's?

na wetin ur eyes see b that abi? Hehehehehe

Olajumokeibk: Who re dose biitches looking brighter than their future my sweethrt kate is cute, black is beautiful

they arent b*tches dear, they are women like you. Where are the morals i spent a good deal of my life impactin into you? Honestly, those women don bleach die. They are not appealin to me anyway.

wasak: if u are a female I really sympathize with u in advance!
what exactly is civilization? the ever rising divorce rate advanced countries or the fast disappearing institution of marriage?
every ship needs a captain.. two captains can't mount a ship..u can't change the universal order of things, it is undeniable that every society has members who have separate roles, it is only when these roles are discharged effectively that a society attains equilibrium.

good luck!

bro, you just said my mind jare esp in the last 3 sentences. No need to sympathize with no one. She's got a choice, its a free world. When people tryna mess with the natural settings of things all in the guise of civilization, things get messy and we humans cry blood! Nature has got her way, so perfect in its own. Just look at the world through and you'l see d the problems man created for himself: social, ethical, political, financial imbalances, e.t.c. Mother earth her self is sick. Let thy Kingdom come oh Lord!

Personally, my idea of a independent woman is one that doesnt need no man to cater for her needs at all no matter how much or little she earns. Such women earn my respect. Concernin the op's question, 'tas already bn answered by most comments. But its really cool when you find a rich woman and still she's humble, submisive and virtuous. Such women just sweep me off my feet!

This guy talk, think, act like they are some 'shareholder' of the Nigeria; like they are some stakeholders. 'consultin with wisemen?!' You gotta b kiddin me . Anyway, all na time. A time will come when this country will b reborn; its rebirth will b the beginnin of greatness. All na time, again; time is everything. The evil that men do will follow dem and their families forever! Karma is such a silent monster!

....and it made FP!! O boy, hard work pays you know - bringin genuine news ta Nlanders. I think i deserve a pat on the head from y'all! Abi i no try ni?

First Bank of Nigeria Limited, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (GTBank), Zenith Bank Plc, United Bank for Africa Plc (UBA), Access Bank Plc, Skye Bank Plc, Ecobank Nigeria and Diamond Bank Plc have been designated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as “too big to fail”, owing to the fact that their failure could pose a systemic risk to the banking industry and the larger economy.

The eight banks alone account for 75 per cent of the banking sector in terms of earnings, profitability assets, customer deposits and branch networks.

The CBN, it was learnt, has therefore adopted a more robust regulatory regime to monitor and scrutinise the eight banks, in order to ensure that they are healthy.

The central bank has also asked the eight banks to increase their capital base in order to give them a buffer against internal and exogenous shocks.

Confirming this development, Deputy Governor (Operations), CBN, Mr. Tunde Lemo, described the financial institutions as systemically important because of their size.

Lemo pointed out that any bank that accounts for five per cent of the banking system is systemically important.

“What that means is that we have to take a closer look at them. It doesn’t mean that they are weak, it is just that we have to focus more attention on them because, God forbid, if something happens to any of them, it may affect the entire system,” Lemo said.

Asked about the capital base that the respective banks are expected to have, the CBN deputy governor said: “It is not that they were asked to raise their capital base, it is just that when an institution is designated as systemically important, it is required to have more capital.”

For Zenith Bank, its recently released results for nine months ending September 30, 2013 showed that its profit after tax stood at N64 billion with loans and advances of N1.1 trillion. The bank also reported gross earnings of N255 billion at the end of September 2013, up by 11 per cent from the N229 billion recorded in the corresponding period in 2012.

Zenith Bank’s total market capitalisation on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) stood at N675.024 billion yesterday.

Also, GTBank’s profit after tax stood at N69.24 billion at the end of September 2013, as against N63.734 billion earned in the same period in 2012. GTBank’s total assets also stood at N1.875 trillion, compared to the N1.73 trillion as at December 2012. Its share price on the NSE closed at N25.99 per share yesterday, giving it a market capitalisation of N764.916 billion.

In the same vein, UBA’s unaudited results for the nine months ending September 30, 2013 also revealed that its profit after tax climbed to N37.37 billion. With a market capitalisation of N257.255 billion on the NSE, its share price closed at N7.80 per share.

For Access Bank, its recently released unaudited nine-month results showed gross earnings of N154 billion at the end of September 2013. Its profit before tax also stood at N35 billion. Access Bank’s market capitalisation on the NSE was N213.269 billion yesterday, while its shares closed at N9.32 per share.

Skye Bank Plc’s gross earnings rose to N102 billion at the end of September 2013, while its profit after tax stood at N11.650 billion.
Diamond Bank also posted a profit before tax of N25.6 billion, while its total assets stood at N1.377 trillion at the end of September 2013.

First Bank of Nigeria Limited is yet to release its third quarter results because of its holding company structure. [Thisday]

Wel, tis simple. Morals is the largest piece of the reason puzzle. Most dude want to date a hot babe, but want to end up with a decent girl and believe you me, most of dem decent gulrs are not so pretty. If y'all will remember when thread appeared on FP with a photo of van vicker and his wife , some ladies were like, "how did he end up with her?!" yeah, because she got what you can never have! most of dem beautiful girls lacks brain, morals and are always about the present, while d decent one brings peace of mind to their man are about the future and this not-so-beautiful ones are magicians, they so know how to treat their man right, they make you feel ontop of the world!

[quote author=O.T.I.S]80% of indians, lebanese, pakistanis and chinese in nigeria are involved in one illegal smuggling or the other. the truth is they bribe their way when ever they are caught, even efcc and nafdac get paid handsomely by these foreign hustlers a.k.a investors. i remember when a lebanese shop was raided and ammunition discovered, few days later the news faded away and we nigerians never mind asking what happened. we are too busy going about our daily business that we care less about what foreigners do in our country.
I ve been to many countries in and outside africa, i saw how jobless and lazy their citizens are, they are too lazy to work, they treat their women like sh...t, and when they see foreigner work, dress well, drive cars, got married(to their women) etc, they become extremely jealous.
either they protest foreigner are taking their jobs or they accuse you of drug because you are making money and snatching their women from them.
finally, nawaoo for our naija guys,, of all countries why india india wey dey use bicycle for commercial transport I would rather relocate to my village than live in india.[/quote]bros, you burst my head with this ur post sha! 3 gbosa for you: gbosa! Gbosa!! Gbosa!!! Between you and einstein, i dont't know who's more intelligent, but i get sense pass una two sha.

Order from above; tis glarin.

Oduah got it all wrong. Her timing is wrong. Despite the many air travel mishap that happened recently, this is the last thing that should be 'credited' to the minister/jonathan's administration. Some people will come here and start formin ethnic-biaz. Ogbeni! Corrruption is corruption. Jonathan's administration has suffered so much from the corruption libel. I don't think he would want this added to that list( would he?!). The most honourable thing is for her to resign. The fact tht she couldnt keep calm durin the interview to the extent of using the offensive and blamin it all up on tribal issues is very not professional, haba. Even artists knows what to say when asked 'anonying' questions let alone someone in position of authority of this great nation (Imagin jonathan blarin up on CNN). God bless Jonathan, God bless Nigeria, God bless me!

Nonso23: Great! Humans are making progress towards their doom advancement in cyborg tech.
But are those organs biologically active?

ur statement and the Op's reminds me of the movie 'terminator' where Arnold (can someone spell that his complex surname?) was really great innit.

Yeah..Op, you's right but you can't make no such general conclusion; nada. Some girls are just players; "money for ground back for ground".. Some guys just wanna get'em laid; dey dont care even it get'em cash-strapped.. Dude, i'v seen girls take advantage of guys that loves dem genuinely; dey took him for granted. Some girls also get heartbroken by the love of their life... Finally, most dude wants to date a hot girl, but want to end up with a decent/virtuous woman.. Good women are scarce, but they's still out dere.
Except for other reasons, i just think its best to let a girl/man that doesnt love you go.. There'll always b signs.

Skii: Nice write up! But seriously, if we run from women the moment we identify any of these things, who then shall we marry?

when i was kinda young, i hear from me/men uncles that "all women are the same.." I refused to accept that notion den.. Twas when i grew up, had experiences, visited married homes thats when i actually knew what that statement means.. All women are the same. some are just worst at some aspect than d others and that makes dem a problem. Some women complain too much that dey dont know wen to let you b(naggin), all what some think about is how to incure expenditure.. Some want ur attention so bad that dey misbehave, some dont even have furure ambition at all to a fault! Some are 'so-overdependent'. A unique woman is d one who understands her man(if he is really a good guy/husband, performs his duties) , know when to talk and when not to, adores him as d head, one who knows how to control such tins and create a balance.. A virtuous woman is d best thing that can ever happen to her husband... Pity such women sometimes end up with d wrong man! BTW, I am the best thing that can ever happen to a woman..!

chronique: I can relate with almost everything you've posted there and I've learnt a lot from it. I also have friends who are divorcing cos of some of these factors you posted up there. Sometimes,I wonder why marriages and relationships had to get this bad in our time... Nice write up though.

seriously bro.. E tire me self

[quote author=uj_sizzle]Only a fool would blame others for the decisions they make.
The world is bad, people are bad..but chosing to be like them is solely your choice. You can choose to rise above what's considered the 'norm' or you can choose to be like everybody else. Bottom line is, it's a deliberate decision you made on your own. People and circumstances are mere catalysts.[/quote]babe chill o.. I'm not blammin nobody for notin.. Just tryin ta let you know that some bad boy was once a goodt one.. Simple. Get the idea..

Elvis was very, very handsome.. He got straps of cash, he was a 'workin' boy... He had a babe den and loved her so much and he was very faithful.. But know boys na, always advicin him to flex na, that his babe would cheat of him if he refuses to do so.. He never yielded to our 'pressure' na.. One day, that very faithful day, very early in the mornin, he was called to come out urgently to check something out: behold, he saw his much cherished babe dropped by another guy at her hostel. They lived close... D guy wan die.. Rest na story.. But now, he is a professional heart breaker!!!
