50 Cent I'm Actually Rich ... I Just Get Sued a Lot!


0717-50-cent-tmz-0150 Cent has just told the bankruptcy judge he's both rich and poor at the very same time.

50 filed legal docs saying he has a massive amount of money and other assets, but not enough to immediately cover more than $20 million in court judgments. Translation  ... he's cash poor.
The documents are almost like a documentary, chronicling 50's early life in abject poverty in Queens, where his mom was murdered when he was just 8. He was also famously shot 9 times. His lawyer goes on, "In many respects, Mr. Jackson typifies the American dream."
The question ... what does this have to do with bankruptcy. The answer ... this is a PR move on 50's part to make it clear to his fans he's not a failure.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that a similar incident had occurred at the airport on July 6, following the collision of two planes belonging to Emirates and Hak Air.
NAN gathered that Friday’s incident, which happened at about mid-day, involved two Airbuses 330 conveying about 250 passengers.
The two planes had their bodies partially damaged as a result of the collision.
A source at the airport told NAN that one of the planes was taxiing from the runway to MMA2 to disengage passengers, while the other aircraft was preparing to take off to Port-Harcourt Airport from the same terminal.
The source alleged that the pilot may have been misdirected by the marshals to taxi to the wrong part of the apron.
According to the source, the Port-Harcourt bound aircraft was parked at Gate 4 while the arriving aircraft was bound for the Gate 3 of the terminal.
However, the source claimed that the marshals misdirected the arriving aircraft to the same gate as the parked aircraft which led to their wings brushing each other.

Egypt invests $8.4bn, plans one million jobs

ADVERTISEMENT

Egypt said it has invested $8.4 billion on the Suez Canal project as part of measures to double the cargo traffic on the waterway, expand its economy to benefit small scale businesses, and create one million jobs.
The  North African country said the project would kick-start its economic recovery which suffered a slow down from the 2011 political crisis.
The Press and Information Officer, Egyptian embassy in Nigeria, Ahmed Maher, stated that the construction of the New Suez Canal, scheduled  to be commissioned in Cairo in August, 2015, would help Egypt to rebound and rebuild its economy.
Maher, in an interview on Thursday in Abuja, noted that about 41,000 people have been engaged in the construction of the canal, which began 10 months ago.
According to him, the new canal would double the economic contribution that the old canal is bringing in, especially with the additional six tunnels for cars and rails.
He said, “New Suez Canal is the name of a waterway project in Egypt, expanding the existing Suez Canal between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.
“It was launched simultaneously with plans to build six new tunnels under the canal and to transform a 76,000 km area on both banks of the canal into an international logistics, commercial and industrial hub that would create one million jobs.”

The embassy spokesman described the new Suez Canal as the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia and an alternative to Cape of Good Hope route, noting that the  enlarged canal would allow ships to sail in both directions at the same time over much of the canal’s length.
