Meet 10 Year Old Who Eats Tissue If There Is No Food

A 10-year-old boy who is constantly hungry due to a rare condition eats rolls of toilet paper if he is unable to get any other food.

Caden Benjamin, from Standerton in South Africa, weighs 14 stone 2lbs (90 kilogrammes) because of his constant overeating.

He has been diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome, which is characterised by an obsessive compulsion to eat.

His mother Zola Benjamin says it means Caden will eat anything he can get his hands on.

‘At one point, Caden was eating toilet paper. He’d eat rolls of it,’ she said.
‘Actually, he’d eat any paper he would find in the house. If there’s nothing for him to eat, he’ll scrape together the dirt he finds on the floor and eat that.’

Several years ago, he was forced to undergo a tracheotomy and he now breathes through a tube inserted into his windpipe.

Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare, incurable disorder that affects thousands of people worldwide, resulting in physical, mental and behavioural problems.


The condition is made worse by the fact that people need less food than their peers because their bodies have less muscle and tend to burn fewer calories.

Ms Benjamin added: ‘At three years old he was 40 kg (6 stone 4 lbs) and at that time, we didn’t know what was wrong with him.
‘We went to a number of doctors and no one could tell us what was wrong and why he was gaining so much weight.’

Eventually, a doctor at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria ran further tests and diagnosed Caden’s illness.

Ms Benjamin said: ‘Normally he would start off the day by eating four slices of cheese toast and then an hour later he would drink Coke and eat leftover food from the night before.
‘Then at lunch he’d eat two large pieces of chicken. He’d eat hourly for the rest of the day.’

But with his weight spiralling out of control and his health being seriously jeopardised, doctors have put Caden – who wears men’s XL size clothes – on a diet.
Ms Benjamin has had to lock all her kitchen cabinets and her fridge and hide all food items in the house.

‘He’s really battling. I feel so terrible… but the doctors said that if I want to see my son alive, then he has to go on a diet,’ she said.
‘Each and every day is a battle. I have to check up on him all day and night.’

Caden struggles to move around and even breathe because he is so overweight.
He also suffers bouts of depression because he is unable to live like a normal child.

‘Sometimes he’ll just break down in tears and tells me he wants to go and play with the other children outside,’ said Ms Benjamin.
‘But he is unable to do that and there’s no way I can help him.’

Diego Costa Banished From Training By Manager And Wont Play For Chelsea Again

Chelsea's 'king of trouble' and 'bad boy', Diego Costa has been banished from first team training by manager Antonio Conte and has been told by the club's management that he won't play for Chelsea again.

Costa told the club he wanted to leave three times in the last ten months- The first was during last year's pre-season tour when he asked to return to Atletico Madrid, his former club. Conte, responded by benching him for two friendlies. Second time was in January when Costa made it clear he wanted the mega-money move to  Chinese club, Tianjin Quanjian in January while third time was at the end of the season.

Now with the 70 million Pounds capture of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid, Conte has banished Costa from first team training and its now clear the Spanish striker will leave the club as soon as possible. Costa is not on the club's pre-season tour squad and has been granted extended leave so he can conclude a deal with former club, Atletco Madrid.

'In January, the Costa situation was made very clear,' said Conte, speaking for the first time since his infamous post-season text-message exchange with the striker.

'For the club, for him and his agent and for me the situation is closed.'

24 year old Morata,  Costa's replacement, completed his move on Friday is set to join up with the Chelsea squad in Singapore.

'This is a good signing for us,' said Conte. 'Morata is a young player but he has a lot of experience and played in the past with Real Madrid and Juventus in the league and the Champions League. 

'He's a good striker, a player with the right prospects for Chelsea.'

Costa was Chelsea's top scorer with 20 goals last season.

Mr Eazi Speaks On Davido And Wizkid's Beef

Popular Nigerian artiste, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade a.k.a Mr. Eazi, who has been in the news lately because of his girlfriend Temi Otedola in a new interview he granted Showtime Celebrity, talked about his music career , Wizkid and Davido’s beef and more.

The singer also stylishly avoided talking about his relationship with Temi Otedola. Here are excerpts from the interview;

You’re famous for being controversial, why?
Oh am I? I didn’t know I was; but I know I’m a Kubolor (a wanderer or vagabond). A Kubolor is like a gypsy who cares less about anything, that’s who I’m.

What’s your personal opinion on the ongoing supremacy battle between Wizkid and Davido? 
To be honest, I’ve not spoken to either of them about it. For all you know, it might just be the media playing on something or it might just be that they want to drop a song tomorrow and they are just toying with people or they want to go on tour together. At the end of the day these things are not really known until you ask the person. Maybe when next I see Wizkid and I ask him then I’ll call you to give you exclusive inside gist which you’ll pay for, (laughs). 

They say you are a bit proud & snobbish, how true is this? 
Mr Eazi is a dirty boy o, I’m just a free guy mehn! If you know me or anyone that knows me knows that I’m a very free kind of person. I literally almost don’t care about anything, that’s why I said I’m a Kubolor, a gypsy. If you know who gypsies are they don’t care about anything, they just drift, that’s who I’m, like I don’t care about cars, I don’t care about houses, I just have these things because of my kids and for my family, but for me as a person I don’t care. Till now even though my manager fights me I can go and buy ‘boli’ (Smoked Plantain) on the street, people see me and rush to take selfies and they don’t mob me because when they see me they know that this is their boy Mr. Eazi, so I’m just free having fun and thanking God for life.

When did you make your first million? 
By August 17, 2016 I was already a millionaire and I thank God because I never expected it.
.
What’s the true story between you and Femi Otedola’s daughter, Temi Otedola? 
There is this saying that goes thus “Leave matter for Matthias”, except you tell me right now that your name is Matthias, unfortunately that’s not your name.

Many of the residents of Lagos state that trooped out to cast their vote in Saturday’s local government election were stunned after some of political parties that had flooded the state with posters started asking their candidate to step down.

Sources revealed that at the state governor, in Akinwunmi Ambode's ward, only two of the 12 political parties contested the poll; they were All Progressives Congress, APC and Labour Party. 

Also in Eredo and Ikosi-Ejinrin Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs, the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, announced that its candidate will not be contesting the poll in the state. 

Also in Ojo Local Government, Iba and Oto-Awori LCDAs, eight political parties also backed out from the poll. It was gathered that some of the political parties cited brilliant performance of the State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode and his wife, Bolanle.

Ambode, who defied downpour to cast his vote at Ward A6, unit 33 in Ogunmodede College, Papa, Epe Local Government, where he was the 12th electorate cast his vote, said that he was not aware of their withdrawal. 

He said: “There are 12 parties contesting today but in this particular ward, maybe the PDP candidate must have withdrawn. I do not know. What is important to me is to vote for my own candidate which is APC but if it happens that other candidates are not contesting in this ward maybe it’s a reflection of what we are doing.”

Fast forward to 2017, a few weeks ago to be precise, he sent a message and video clip showing the first set of the primary schools pupils  that are graduating into secondary school and I decided I was going to support them with writing materials, band sets and all that but on getting to Igbere on Wednesday, after seeing how brilliant the kids were, I had no other option than to take up the responsibility of training the three best graduating students throughout their secondary school stage as my own little way of encouraging early education in our society.”

He went on to preach about how we can make our various societies better places. “We all can always help in making our society a better place regardless of how small it is” he wrote.

Usher Faces $10 million Lawsuit From A Woman Who Claims To Have Been Infected From Herpes By Him

Sensational R & B singer, Usher has been faced with a Lawsuit of about $10million.

A woman has claimed to have had sex with singer Usher earlier this year but had no idea he had Herpes.

 However, after learning about the settlement with another girl who claimed she contracted Herpes from Usher, the woman has filed a lawsuit against the singer for millions of dollars.

According to the suit filed by a Jane Doe, she and Usher got together in Atlanta on April 16 at her home. She said they kissed, she performed oral sex on him and they eventually had sex, but she says he wore a condom then.

However, according to the documents she filed, she says they had sex again 12 days later in a New Orleans hotel room but that this time, they did not use a condom.

The woman who wanted to be referred to as 'Jane Doe' said she filed the lawsuit after she read about Usher admitting that he has Herpes Simplex 2. 

The woman didn't state if she's infected. She only stated that she is concerned because she was "exposed" and says she wouldn't have had sex with Usher if he'd disclosed he has the virus. 

She's suing Usher Raymond IV for negligence, battery and emotional distress and is seeking at least $10 million in damages.

Usher is currently married to Grace Miguel and they have been married for 2 years.
