Parents who raised £100k for their late son sue charity after refusal to give them cash for terminal daughter’s Disney trip

Image
Craig Evison and Victoria Morrison, a grieving couple who raised £100,000 for their late son’s cancer treatment, are taking legal action against a children’s cancer charity after being denied access to the funds for their terminally ill daughter.   The couple’s son, Kyle Morrison, died in October 2020 at age nine after battling diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare and aggressive brain tumour. Before his passing, a campaign spearheaded on Facebook and later managed by the charity Gold Geese raised a substantial sum for treatment in the United States and for “memory-making” experiences. However, due to Covid-19 restrictions, Kyle was unable to travel, and the money was never used.   Now, Craig and Victoria are seeking to use the remaining money to create special memories with their two-year-old daughter, Ruby-Rose, who has been diagnosed with Megdel syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that is typically fatal in early childhood. In court, the parents said, “W...

Diddy's lawyers expect him to be sentenced to about 2-years in prison

Image
Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyers expect him to get a two-year prison sentence following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in pr0stitution, which was handed down on Wednesday, July 2.   The sentence is much less than the 51 to 63 months sentence that prosecutors have recommended.   The two sides addressed Combs' potential sentence in separate letters to the judge overseeing the case. Combs has already spent 10 months in custody.   Combs was acquitted on Wednesday morning of the more serious charges of s£x trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.   He was accused of sex trafficking two of his former girlfriends, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, and a woman who testified under the pseudonym "Jane" and of forcing them to participate in drug-fueled s£x sessions with male escorts that he called "freak offs" or "hotel nights." Combs had denied all the charges and said that the sexual acts were consensu...

“Our real problem is tribe and religion” - Big Brother Naija’s Tochi shares deep message about Nigeria

Image
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tochi, has shared a thought-provoking message on his Instagram story about what he believes is Nigeria’s biggest problem.   According to him, the country’s real issue has never been oil, corruption, or elections — but rather tribal and religious divisions among its people.   He wrote:   “Nigeria’s biggest problem has never been oil, never been corruption alone, never been elections, it has always been tribe and religion. Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa. Christian, Muslim. We divide ourselves before the government even tries to divide us. We carry identity on our heads so strongly that we forget humanity is the first identity. And that is why we are stuck.”   In another post, Tochi added that Nigeria is “too big, too scattered, and too mentally conditioned to be one,” stressing that until tribal and religious sentiments are addressed, no constitution, election, or president will be able to fix the country.
