[Photos] Meet world’s youngest tenant who pays rent at age five!

How does it sound when you hear that a five-year-old baby who should, ordinarily, spend her allowances on ice cream, candies, etc., is made to use her money to rather pay rent?

Well, that is what a fashionable but no-nonsense mum does — she makes her underage daughter pay rent from what we might even call a “paltry” allowance!

Essence Evans set the cyberspace agog with a simple social media post in which she claims that she makes her baby girl —a five-year-old — to pay rent.

Essence, who is a singer and Yoga fan, explains that every week, the baby girl gets $7 in allowance.

But, lest the little girl runs away with an erroneous impression that one is free to do anything one wants with any money that comes into his/her possession, the dutiful mum explains to her daughter that in real world, most people spend most of their earnings on bills, with little to spend on themselves.

To drive the lesson home, Essence explains that she makes her daughter give her $5 back.

Breaking down how the money is spent on baby girl’s behalf, Essence writes, “$1 for rent, $1 for water, $1 for electricity, $1 for cable, and $1 for food.”

The unnamed Baby Girl is, however, at liberty to spend the remaining $2 however she deems fit: she could save it in her piggy bank, or do what she wants with.

But before anyone jumps into conclusion that she is being unnecessary hard on her beloved daughter, Essence says, “What she doesn’t know is that the $5 is actually going away in her savings account, which I will give back to her when she turns 18.”

Essence adds that if the daughter decides to move out on her own when she attains adulthood, she will have $3,380 to start off her young life!

“This strategy not only prepares your child for the real world, but when they see how much real bills are, they will appreciate you for giving them a huge discount,” the sagacious mum says, urging her whopping 30,329 followers to share the post on their timelines for other mothers to see.

The post has since received 318,877 shares and 228,000 reactions; while media houses virtually all over the world have turned her simple post into a big story.

Are you over 100? Then you've got a better chance of living even longer!

It’s considered an inescapable fact of life: the older you get, the more likely death becomes. But a new research conucted in Germany disproves of that suggestinh that the chances of dying may level off – at least for those who make it to 105 years old. The study found that death rates, which rise exponentially in adulthood, begin to decelerate after 80 years old and appear to eventually plateau, or even decline slightly, after the age of 105. By that point, the chances of passing away in a given year are approximately 50-50. “It’s the equivalent of tossing a coin each year,” said Prof Jim Vaupel, a specialist in ageing at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany and one of the authors. The findings add fuel to an unusually hostile debate between two camps of scientists, who are locked in an escalating dispute about whether humans are approaching their upper limit in terms of lifespan. The latest paper, from Vaupel’s team who argue there is no evidence of a loom...

Michael Kors Buys Italy's Versace Fashion House For $2.12 Billion

Fashion company Michael Kors is buying Versace, the Italian luxury brand founded by Gianni Versace in 1978, for $2.12 billion. The two fashion houses made the announcement Tuesday, one day after speculation spread about a potential deal. Donatella Versace, the artistic director of the Milan-based fashion house who helped lead the company after her brother's death in 1997, said it's the perfect time for the company to join with Michael Kors. "It has been more than 20 years since I took over the company along with my brother Santo and daughter Allegra," Donatella Versace said in a news release. "I am proud that Versace remains very strong in both fashion and modern culture."

UN condemns Plateau killings, AI says FG encouraging murderers

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, on Thursday expressed concern over violent conflicts between farmers and herders in countries across West and Central Africa, particularly the Plateau attacks that claimed the lives of over 86 villagers on Saturday. But the Amnesty International has said by failing to hold murderers to account, the Federal Government is encouraging impunity that is fuelling rising insecurity across the country. The Director Amnesty International Nigeria, Osai Ojigho, stated this in a report released by the international agency on Thursday. AI stated that its independently verified estimated figures indicated that since January 2018 “at least 1,813 people had been murdered in 17 states, which is double the 894 people killed in 2017.” Ojigho stated, “The death tolls reflect killings as a result of farmers-herders conflict, communal clashes, Boko Haram attacks and banditry. “We are gravely concerned about the rising spate of killings across...
