The irony of it all
This are powerful women in africa who can afford any salon in the whole world, but just look at their heads, ladies, wigs, weaves, and the likes is not a sign of beauty or class, men love natural staff, do something

What 21st century woman is all about.
I am often perturbed when men act all
shocked and heartbroken when it “supposedly” dawns on them that the 21-century
women are only after their money. By now men must have learnt that women get
attracted to established and moneyed men. In fact, such men are always spoilt
for choice because women are always nagging them for relationships and
marriage. It is not all about women being greedy or selfish like men like to
believe, that is just how it is. In fact, there is even a scientific
explanation. Women will always go for the man who representation of power and
stability. It is a survival tactic imbedded in the female DNA that enables her
to pick out the best provider for future children. Gentlemen, differently put,
it’s the law of the Jungle, nothing personal. You do not hear us women
complaining when in all our glory we are quickly summarised and chosen based on
superficial qualities that range from our skin tone, to the size of our
posteriors. And yes it is a cruel world but we have accepted that is how men
see things, so much so that we have even come up with an excuse for this
particular flaw in men, that they are visual beings. So we ask men to extend
the same courtesy to us and stop acting like there is something wrong when we
opt for financially stable men. We have nothing personal against broke or men
or those who will only be a somebody someday. Expecting a woman to love you and
remain optimistic that one day you will make more money is as good as expecting
it to rain popcorns. Forget it, it won’t happen. Some expectations are just not
realistic! Over the years, while women have learnt to adapt to the ever
changing modern man, men have seen no need to adopt. Women have learned to
accept men with everything from their pink vitenge trousers, to their weekly
visits to the manicurist but men have stuck to their old expectations from
women. Women have even lowered some of their expectations all in the name of
love, men on the other hand seem to be caught up in some warped up view of how
women should behave. Men have completely refused to accept the
21 century woman in all her glory.

Thanks
to their lack of awareness for consequences, we'll always know exactly
what children are thinking - good or bad. There's something to love
about the most innocent time of life and honestly, I wish we could all
learn to speak our minds more often.
You should share this and spread the laughs!

Why John Kerry gave
Russia's foreign minister potatoes

Adapted from http://news.yahoo.com
Being the United States' top diplomat is an incredibly difficult job
that requires one to be smooth, tough and cool in knowing that you're
always one misstep away from starting an international incident.
But on the plus side, you sometimes get to give potatoes as gifts.
Secretary of State John Kerry, meeting with Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov in Paris, presented his Russian counterpart with two
extremely large Idaho potatoes. Not exactly a PlayStation 4, but there
was a good reason for the gift.
NBC News reports that Kerry said that Lavrov had mentioned Idaho
potatoes during a previous meeting.
Via NBC News:
Russia's foreign minister seemed to appreciate the gesture, smiling and
remarking that the gifts were "impressive."
The Russians, not the type to receive a gift without having one to give,
presented State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki with a pink ushanka
hat, for keeping warm during the Sochi Olympics.
In 2009, then- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton presented
Lavrov with a red "reset button" intended to symbolize a desire to
restart the two nations' relationship on a positive track after a split
over Russia's invasion of Georgia.
Often, the United States is on the receiving end of unusual gifts. For
example, in 2012, President Barack Obama received a saber with a
34-inch blade from Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj.
For a full list of gifts received from foreign sources by employees of
the executive branch of the U.S. government, check out this long — but
fascinating -list. A nice perk, but keep in mind that just because you
get a gift doesn't always mean it's yours to keep.

So 9ice Is Finally Quitting Music?!?
Most Nigerian musicians, doing Afro-Pop, Hip-Hop and Rap, do not have enough stamina to stay in the game for too long and that’s because they sing all the words in their brain pretty fast. But within the short period of their reign, they spend carelessly, buying cars and stuffs that depreciates fast.
This “sickness” seem to have caught up with singer 9ice. See his latest confession below…
“I’m leaving music, I need to go into something more challenging. Music is no longer competitive for me, I’ve done all that needs to be done in music,” 9ice told a reporter.How can 9ice say he has achieved all there is to achieve in music between 2008 and 2013, in just five years? I hope younger musicians will see the message in this development and learn from them?

Uganda's anti-gay laws blocked by President Museveni
Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has refused to approve a controversial bill to toughen laws against homosexuals.
He has written to the parliamentary speaker criticising her for passing it in December without a quorum.Homosexuals were "abnormal" and could be "rescued", Uganda's private Monitor paper quotes the president's letter as saying.
The bill includes life imprisonment for homosexual acts and also makes it a crime not to report gay people.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in the capital, Kampala says the promotion of homosexuality - even talking about it without condemning the lifestyle - would also be punishable by a prison term.
Mr Museveni said the bill was forced through despite his advice to shelve it until the government had studied it in depth, the Monitor reports.
"Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons," he is quoted as saying.
The president is aware that if he signs the bill there will be an international outcry, which could see some countries suspend aid to the country, our reporter says.
Human rights activists say the bill highlights the intolerance and discrimination the gay community faces in Uganda.
One gay activist was killed in 2011, although the police denied he was targeted because of his sexuality.
The bill has been condemned by world leaders since it was mooted in 2009 - US President Barack Obama called it "odious".
The private member's bill originally proposed the death penalty for some offences, such as if a minor was involved or the perpetrator was HIV-positive, but this was dropped.
Rodgers: Daniel's in starting contention
If
selected, Daniel Sturridge is fit and ready to make his first start
since recovering from injury when Liverpool take on Aston Villa on
Saturday, Brendan Rodgers has confirmed.
After another week's worth of training at Melwood, Rodgers feels Sturridge is fit enough to be considered for a starting berth when Villa come to Anfield this weekend.
The boss told Liverpoolfc.com: "His qualities and fitness, aligned with what I've seen in training, I think show that if we needed him to start, he would be able to."
Despite having not figured since the Merseyside derby on November 23 due to an ankle problem sustained in training, Sturridge looked fresh as he made his comeback at the Britannia Stadium.
It was a similar scenario at the start of 2013-14 when, despite having his pre-season disrupted by injury, the 24-year-old began the campaign with an immediate impact by firing in each of his first five matches.
Rodgers added: "I think that says everything. He's a boy that is blessed genetically with this wonderful gift of being able to recover - but it's also a mark of his professionalism as well.
"When you've been out for so long, like he was in pre-season, to come back and play as quickly as he did showed how hard he was working in the off-season. And likewise now after the period out.
"He looks after his body, his body fat, his weight and that natural fitness he has, alongside his work, allows him to come back and make the impact he made last week.
"He's again looked very, very good in training, very sharp, and he'll be at a good level come the weekend."
“When I First Came Into Chelsea Dressing Room I Was Shaking All Through” – Mikel Obi’s Touching Memories
Mikel Obi, who arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2006 from Lyn Oslo, also praised the England international and pointed him out as one of the senior players, who helped him settle in at the club quickly.
“Coming into a big club like Chelsea, as a young 18-year-old from Africa, it was a dream come true. I remember coming into the dressing room and I was shaking all through the first week. The players in there really helped me settle in – John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and the other African players that were there at the time. I looked at these guys every day and I learned a lot from them, how they act on and off the football pitch, which helped me develop and mature as a person. It was a growing up stage which I never had with any other team. I just jumped straight into this team so I had to learn that way.”

Transfer window: Shane Long set for Hull City move
Hull City are set to sign West Brom striker Shane Long after the clubs agreed a fee which could rise to £7m.
Long, 26, almost moved to the Tigers on transfer deadline day in September and will hold talks again on Thursday.
The Republic of Ireland forward, who scored 22 goals in 87 games for West Brom, has 18 months left on his deal.
Goals exit
With Romelu Lukaku and Peter Odemwingie gone and Long set to depart, West Brom will have lost players who scored 30 of their 53 league goals in 2012-13.
"Despite our best endeavours, Shane has declined to sign a new contract," said West Brom sporting director Richard Garlick.
"We began talking to Shane about a new contract last
spring and, during the ongoing negotiations, we made two offers which
would have significantly increased his salary."
Long, who has scored 10 goals in 43 caps, would follow Everton striker Nikica Jelavic to Hull after the Croatia international joined the Tigers for a similar fee.
Former Reading frontman Long had a medical at the KC Stadium in September, but then-West Brom manager Steve Clarke blocked the transfer, despite signing both Stephane Sessegnon and Victor Anichebe on the same day.
Long failed to score in his first eight appearances for the club this season, before netting his only three league goals of the campaign against Chelsea and Aston Villa in November.
Despite playing a full 90 minutes at Southampton in front of new boss Pepe Mel, who watched the defeat from the stands, Long could not be persuaded to stay at The Hawthorns.
"Shane effectively only has 18 months left on his deal and with him no closer to accepting our terms and then Hull making an acceptable offer, we felt it was in the club's best interests to accept the bid," added Garlick
