Unbelievable! Meet 62 years Old Chinese Woman That Looks Twice Younger
It’s no news these days that Chinese women are known for pretty younger looks than their ages. But what remains a mystery is how they end up looking this young without any magical help from the surgeon.
Liu Xiaoquing is one of such people who have amazingly rebuilt themselves to conquer the domineering powers of old age.
The October 30th 1955 born Liu Xiaoquing is a Chinese woman who is known for her active roles in the Chinese movies from the 1980s.
Her very first appearance as an actor was as a stage actor for the Chengdu Military Drama Group (The Chengdu Military Region is one of seven military districts and is located in the southwest of the People’s Republic of China).
Before then Liu worked as a farm laborer, then as a propagandist for the People’s Liberation Army. Before she was age 30, Liu’s role in Mainland Chinese Films opened her up to the industry especially as she won several awards through it.
In fact her portrayal of Empress Dowager Cixi in The Burning of the Imperial Palace (1983) was said to have won her many awards during the Chinese film festivals. It is recorded that Liu bags the highest number of awards won in the actress categories of the Hundred Flowers Award, with three Best Actress and one Best Supporting Actress.
Having left the film industry in the 1990s and 2000s, Liu engaged herself in real estate bussines. Few years later, her assets grew to include four real estate companies based in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Yantai and Kunming. Ms. Liu’s business interests also grew to include food and cosmetics industry, advertising and film production.
Before the dawn of a new century, Ms Liu Xiaoqiung grew not only as a movie star but also as a billionaire known in China. In 1999, she was numbered among the ’50 China’s Richest Businessmen’ by Forbes.
Liu has been interviewed on several occasions on what and how she does to maintain her natural beauty, in fact, some were said to have accosted her just to know if she underwent plastic surgeries, but Ms Liu Xiaoquing still stood her ground saying she did it all naturally.
In her Memoir titled I did it my way, Liu narrated her success story and named herself the Billionaire Sister. She also promoted her success by publishing a book titled From a Movie Star to a Billionaire.
The Chinese call her ‘Frozen Beauty’ because of her everlasting beauty, the World named her ‘The Most Beautiful Woman’ in the world and she named herself Billionaire Sister.What more befitting name could be given to this beauty queen.
Music: Kiss Daniel – Good Time
G-Worldwide Entertainment act Kiss Daniel is not a musician who believes in half measures, and after tantalizing the earbuds of his fans with hits such as “WOJU”, “LAYE”, “RABA”, and more recently MOLUE alongside Sugarboy, he returns with this heavy afrobeats track “GOOD TIME”.

The track is heavy on percussion, and early reviews suggest that this is a masterpiece from the rave of the moment, Kiss Daniel, to round off a year where his consistent hard-work has seen him get more media mileage, awards, and nominations at this year’s HEADIES and NMVA AWARDS.
Indigenous Nigerian Wedding Attires and Bridal Looks
Whoever said Nigeria is the happiest country in the world was not far from the truth. In Nigeria, there is absolutely a reason to be merry. One of such is Marriage.
Wedding in Nigeria is one of the most ceremonious occasions everybody looks forward to. Unlike what we have in the west where marriages are not a big deal and can happen at any time, anywhere or with anybody, for Nigerians, it takes a whole lot to plan and prepare for either one’s traditional marriage or what we call “the white wedding”. In all, the wedding dress is most paramount issue of all the preparations.
I guess it will be right to say that in Nigeria, there is no wedding without a ‘proper ghen ghen’ wedding dress. To prove this point is the fact that wedding dresses are what most Nigerian ladies look out for in any wedding.
Well, like earlier said, Nigerian weddings comes in two major ways – the traditional wedding and the white wedding and for each, different wedding dresses are worn. Here are some of the indigenous wedding dresses worn in Nigerian Weddings courtsey of BuzzNigeria
The Yoruba Wedding Attire
The Yoruba traditional marriage ceremony even though a serious affair, is full of rich contemporary Nigerian music, graceful colors, sumptuous meals and above all somewhat funny banter.
The dress of both the bride and the groom is selected with the utmost care. Aso-Oke is the Yoruba cultural attire that can not be missing in couple’s ensemble.
Other fabrics such as cotton, damask, lace or even wax fabric (Ankara) can be worn on such occasion too but mostly in combination with the Aso-Oke.
The bride has a five-piece outfit made of the same color and fabrics as the groom’s. The lady wears a wide, long-sleeved blouse known as the Buba made mostly from a lace material, a wrap-around garment to be worn at the waist known as the Iro made of her prefered selected Aso-oke, a shawl or shoulder sash called the Ipele or Iborun made from the same Aso-oke as the Iro which she must drape over one shoulder as tradition demands of a bride, Gele – a scarf and finally a veil of very sheer and light material with which she will be covered until its time to unveil the bride and lets not forget matching shoes, a clutch and the glamorous feferiti
This is how the bride should Look when she first comes out. This is mostly her first look out of the many that will follow.
After her first look with which she is unveiled and greets the in-laws, the bride would then change into another dress which may or may not be the same with that of her husband, depending on how many change of clothes she has planned. The minimum for most people is two.
Other parts of her outfit include a Necklace which can be either beads or gold chain and earrings. The colors she chooses reflect the color theme her family has chosen which also complements the groom’s outfit.
The groom on the other hand will have a complete four piece outfit of Yoruba wedding attires consisting of the Agbada (a two layered material of heavy dimensions), Sokoto (loose-fitting trousers), Buba (a short loose top) and Fula (the cap).

Ghana Millionaire Says He Does Not Pay Tithe
One of Ghana’s millionaires Prince Kofi Amoabeng has revealed he does not pay tithe and will never honour the Christian rite for personal reasons.
A tithe is one tenth of annual produce or earnings, formerly taken as a tax for the support of the Church and clergy.
The president of UT Holdings said on Morning Starr, Friday, he believes in God and goes to Church “once in a long while if there is a wedding or funeral,” but he is not a tither.
“I don’t pay tithe. I would not give 10 percent, and nobody can force me to give 10 percent of my money to anybody. So I don’t pay tithe. I do all sort of philanthropic jobs myself. I see where there is the need for me to help, and I help.
“I don’t have to give it to somebody who then decides where to put the money. So it is my hard earned money, and I should put it where I want to put it,” he told host Nii Arday Clegg.
Despite his posturing towards the payment of tithe, the former CEO of UT Bank opined: “That’s me. I’m not saying payment of tithe is bad. I’m not here to say don’t pay tithe. No. I think it depends on what you see the church for and what the church means to you and does for you.”
“I don’t give a damn,” Amoabeng opined when asked how he will feel when he dies. “I don’t think about death at all.”

“Sagging Is Immature And Irresponsible” – Naeto C.
Asides from the fact that it’s those two things… I feel the trend is way outdated! When i see dudes sag their pants… I’m like, dude? The Hell, we in the “Classic man” era man! Pull em pants up!
Nigerian rapper, the only one with a M.Sc, Naeto C has shown that he is not a fan of letting his pants hang down low.
Speaking in a recent interview with Punch, when asked about the sagging trend, he said:
I grew up and realised it looked stupid, when I was a younger artiste, I did not care much about my image. But now that I am grown, I pay attention to my image because the people I perform for are my clients.
“My client is a mature person who obviously can afford my services. You don’t want your client to see you as irresponsible because tomorrow, when you go to the same client for a business proposition, he would not take you seriously if you are sagging. The client would see you as immature and irresponsible. I think being mature and responsible made me stop sagging.”

Disclosed: Why You Should Never Delay Toilet Time.
Delaying defecation could be extremely dangerous than you think. Some health experts are warning that, as well as the obvious discomfort, in extreme cases holding a poo in for a lengthy period of time could even result in death.
Those who repeatedly put off going to the loo run the risk of developing a dysfunction in the muscle used for pooing, say researchers.
In worst case scenarios, people can suffer an impacted bowel – when an immobile mass of faeces builds up in the rectum, resulting in chronic constipation.

Left untreated, an impacted bowel can require surgery or even kill, experts warn.
Kyle D Staller, a gastroenterologist at Massachusetts General Hospital says that people who get into a habit of holding in can develop a dysfunction in the muscle used for pooing.
“So holding in is bad. If you don’t poo when you need to, all the waste and toxins are just sitting in there”And your body keeps making waste, it can lead to an impacted bowel.Sometimes surgery is required, and if left untreated, an impacted bowel can actually kill you.”
