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.
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 artiste, who recently was crowned The Most Promising Act to Watch in Africa at the recently concluded AFRIMA AWARDS, enlists the services of Fiokee (the guitarist behind “Woju” and “Laye”) to add live guitars to this DJ Coublon production.
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.
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.

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).

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.”

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.”

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.”

When some students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH Ogbomoso stormed major roads in the city to protest continued robbery attacks on their female hostel and raping the helpless ladies, they did not in their wildest dreams think that the said robbers could be among them.
The state Police Command recorded a breakthrough as they arrested three suspects who were alleged to have been involved in the ungodly act. While parading the suspects alongside other suspects, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Leye Oyebade said,
“a 400L male student of the Department of Transport, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECh Ogbomoso who belonged to a notorious criminal gang nicknamed ‘Three Mopols’ was arrested on 3rd November, 2015 in his criminal hideout by the special anti robbery squad in Oyo/Ogbomoso.”
The gang, according to him, was responsible for breaking into students hostels, stealing valuable property and sometimes raping their female colleagues.
His arrest and subsequent confession led to the arrest of two criminal receivers – Adeyemi Samuel Taiwo and Adeyemi Samson Kehinde who received some of the stolen items.
When a search was conducted in the house of Kayode Oluwaseyi, a HP laptop computer belonging to one of his victims and a toy gun used for robbery operations were recovered. Kayode Oluwaseyi also confessed to have burgled several houses and carried out many robbery operations in the Ogbomoso area.
When asked what led him into that shameful act, the suspect confessed that it was true he was involved in the constant raids but tried to exonerate his accomplices saying they were not among the gang but that they always bought the stolen goods from him.

It was reported on Thursday how a daredevil security man connived with his friends to murder a 25-year-old final year Civil Engineering student of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Imo State, Mr. Innocent Ndukwe.
A security guard, who was recently arrested by the Imo State Police Command for allegedly stabbing his boss to death and stealing his belongings, said he committed the dastardly act because he wanted to celebrate Christmas lavishly.
According to PUNCH, the guard, David Kwaguru, and two of his friends Friday Ayuba and Francis Amos, made away with the deceased’s Nissan Pathfinder with number plate, KRD109AD, two plasma TV sets, one home theatre and other valuables.
Confessing to the crime, the security guard said that the rationale behind their evil act was that they needed money to celebrate Christmas next month.
He said:
“Since oga Ndukwe had the money (because of his wealthy parents) and expensive household electronics, we decided to kill him, put the devices inside his vehicle and drive to Plateau State where we come from.
“We waited and monitored him. And when he went into the toilet, we broke the door open, tied his hands and legs and started stabbing him all over his body. We stabbed him several times in the neck and abdomen so that he would die quickly. After killing him, we drove off in the jeep only to be nabbed by the police at West End Road in Owerri.”
Also speaking, an accomplice, Ayuba, said that it was Amos that first struck the victim in the neck while he stabbed the student in the stomach.
He said:
“It was Kwagwuru who told us about the student. Since we are all from the same state, we decided to run back to Plateau after the crime, and not to return to the South-East ever again. We also planned to sell the vehicle and other valuables and share the loot.”
While parading the suspects, the CP said the police control room got a call on the incident and policemen raced to the crime scene.
He said:
“As a result, the assailants who tried to escape were subsequently apprehended along West-End old Nekede road, Owerri.”
He said that the deceased was found in a pool of blood in a toilet at his residence when policemen arrived.
A judge in Osun State, Justice A. O. Oguntade, at the state High Court, Ede, on Thursday barred journalists from covering the divorce proceedings involving millionaire businessman, Deji Adeleke, and his estranged wife, Teju.
Adeleke, who is the Chancellor of the Adeleke University, is the father of popular musician, Davido. PUNCH reports he was present in court on Thursday but the estranged wife was not when journalists were chased out.
Oguntade had on Monday, November 16, prevented journalists who were present at the court by
chasing them out of the court room.
The judge again on Thursday asked journalists present in the courtroom to go out before the proceedings started.
On entering the court, Oguntade said:
“Journalists present in this court should go out. I repeat, journalists present in this court should go out now.”
The judge asked his orderly to escort the journalists out and the orderly relayed the order to the senior police officer, Adeoye Yekinin, who led a team of armed policemen deployed in the court for the divorce case.
The police officer, however, was polite in carrying out the order as he pleaded with the two journalists including their correspondent to vacate the court.
The armed policemen waited patiently for the journalists to leave before they returned to the entrance of the court.
Some of those present in court expressed shock over the heavy presence of armed policemen.
One of the lawyers present in the court for another matter said one of the parties involved in the case did not want publicity.
Counsel for the estranged wife, Mr. Kemi Pinheiro (SAN) , had during the proceedings on Monday accused the judge of bias.
Despite the allegation, Oguntade ordered journalists out of the court and instructed his orderly to ensure they were chased out of the court.
