KANYE WEST Get Off Cosby's Back ... HE'S NO RAPIST!

Kanye West thinks Bill Cosby is getting railroaded ... if Kanye's Twitter feed can be trusted, that is.

Honestly, Kanye's been on one over the last few hours -- ranting about a bunch of things, but he just topped them all with ... "BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!"

It's unclear if 'Ye's been hacked, or if he's just getting stuff off his chest.

What is 100% clear is his album drops on Thursday -- which makes this the perfect time to get as much attention as possible.

We're sure Cosby ain't complaining.

Last year, the swimwear brand Swimsuits for All made history by featuring a plus-size model in its Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue ad and this year, they're up to their boundary-breaking ways again, spotlighting the oldest woman to ever appear in the issue.

Kanye West slams Puma for trying to sign Kylie Jenner

Kanye West slammed footwear giant Puma after rumours spread that they had signed Kylie Jenner for one million dollars. He said ''Never try to divide the family" and that they will refund Puma's money. If he says they will refund the money, that means Kylie already signed with Puma?

5 Signs That Show You May Never Be Successful In Life

One of the basic goals of man on earth aside survival is to be a success or rather to become successful.

Success or been successful can be described as achieving of results wanted or hoped for; this may include getting things done, achieving varying goals and positions in the society.

To be a success is one drive every man has and actualizing success most times is a lifelong goal for every individual on earth.

In the midst of the basic drive for success, we still have breeds and handful of underachievers and unsuccessful individuals.

They keep failing and going in cycles. These are attributes most people will say are dependent on a lot of uncontrollable factors like spirituality, moral standing …

Inasmuch as we cannot rule those factors out, there are others we need to look out for.

Success cannot be measured but it can be deduced and invariably be dependent on some activities and behavioral traits we don’t really give much importance and values to.
Signs to know you will never be Successful in life

This will go on to show you what you need to know about hindrances you are facing towards your ability to be a success in life and i advise that you read objectively:

1. INABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS AND STILL DEPENDENT

The very first sign you should look out for in your quest for success is how decisive and independent you are.

Can you make drastic decisions without seeking the consent and validation of others?

Are you still dependent on parents, friends etc. for your daily survival?

Making decisions are the litmus test that shows your readiness and maturity as a man who will be a potential success and a decreased level of dependence on others (parents, friends, partner, spouse etc.) for survival really shows that you are on of a kind and also on the right course.

Been able to call the shots and making decisions on your own most times coupled with your independence will go a long way to tell the world of your arrival, but if negative, well you will never find it easy becoming a success!

2. YOU DON’T HAVE GOALS AND PLANS

A goal is more like an aim or purpose that you drive towards to actualize your aspirations of been a success.

Having no goal is as good as living a purposeless life because you will not also be privy to make great plans.

5 signs that shows you will never be successful in life!

Planning is really important to your general quest for success, a popular saying goes thus “he who fails to plan, plans to fail”.

Setting plans is more like putting up structures and landmarks that will guide you to an inevitable success.

Planning is important because without a set down pattern to follow to achieving your goals, you are definitely going to remain a complete failure and success will be very far from your reach.

3. YOU WORRY ABOUT HOW PEOPLE SEE YOU AND WHAT THEY SAY

The idea of social interaction is cemented on your relationship with others and how well you can tailor and adapt yourself to the current trend and opinions of others.

It is ideal to be worried and concerned about how people see you and regard, it is even more great to know there opinion of you, but this can also be your greatest undoing.

People will always talk and not everyone will like you, but the moment you realize it is your life you are living and not theirs, then it is imperative to know that they are not really supposed to tell you how to live your life.

Constantly seeking validation and approval from others by trying to act to their requirements and request will do you a greater harm in your quest for success.

I will advise that you listen more but act your best without trying to please everyone, otherwise, you will just be the next in number amongst the most underachieved and unsuccessful people on earth!

4. YOU ALWAYS LEAVE THINGS TO CHANCE

Chance is the level of possibility or likelihood that something will happen, and seriously is this what you want to bank on?

The earlier you learn that things don’t just get done on their own the better for you and your success drive.

Nothing really happens by chance and even if, it will never be better than anticipated or when It is really and fully controlled.

Take charge of everything around you no matter how minute or even in-cognizant. Don’t ever leave anything to chance because you will never get what you really want or sincerely deserve.

Begin to push for things and don’t sit with arms crossed doing nothing, my analogy of getting things done is…

“If I did not do it or I don’t have an input towards its actualization, then it’s not mine and it’s not worth anything!”

Nothing good comes easy and anything by chance is mostly not good except you are content with the bottom of the success chain left only for mediocre.

5. YOU LOOSE FOCUS EASILY AND DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT

Now this is a grave situation, a man who looses focuses easily and don’t even know what he wants is a directionless entity, it would have been advisable not to be alive.

READ  BUHARI VICTORY: Naira appreciate by 7%, now ₦211 to dollar

You should have a focus as an human being which will give you a clear cut direction on what ypu need to do to achieve what you want. But not even knowing what you want at first is already a negative drive on your focus.

As a man, you should begin to write out achievable wants and set motions to achieve them by fixing your efforts and focus on them.

A man without focus and direction can never achieve anything, the best he can do in that condition is to fail consecutively.

If you ever want to succeed, you have to be focused.

CONCLUSION
The signs above already have shown you that you are either on the path to success or failure and it is left to you to change course or improve on the positive.

Been successful is a collective and cumulative effort and it all starts from when you make up your mind to start working towards it.

Success is not for the faint-hearted but for those that can take charge and weather the storm no matter the turbulence!

This woman paid $14,000 to look like Disney Princesses

Sarah Ingle has taken Disney princess impersonations to an entirely new level. The 25-year-old from Denver, Colorado, has spent more than $14,000 on custom-made costumes for the nine princesses she transforms herself into: Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, Rapunzel, Merida from Brave, and Elsa and Anna from Frozen.

Sarah, who works as a marketing manager during the day, owns 17 different outfits and 16 different wigs for her princess transformations, which take three hours each to achieve.

"It takes a lot of time to get into the outfits because they have lots of layers that tie up at the back," Sarah told Hotspot Media. "Then I have a different wig and makeup look for each princess. I have to contour my face when I play Aurora from Sleeping Beauty because my face is much rounder than hers. And as I have hazel eyes, I have to wear blue contact lenses for the Little Mermaid and Elsa from Frozen."

Regarding her intricate outfits, Sarah says:

"Each dress can take up to six months to make and I source many different materials from all over the world, including silk and organza before drawing my final designs. I'm very fortunate to have a full time job that pays for the beautiful dresses and material because I'm so passionate about looking the best that I can for the performances."

The impersonator also naturally has Disney princess-like features, which helps her pull off each look.

"I was born with really big eyes, and people were always telling me that I looked like a cartoon doll or Disney princess. I suppose that my big eyes just help me to appear more cartoon-like, which is great for what I do."

Sarah's gotten so good at her transformations that she and her boyfriend started a business called Princess Ever After, where people can hire princesses for their events (her boyfriend occasionally accompanies her as a prince). She charges about $145 to make a princess appearance at birthday parties and events, but she also visits children at hospitals and volunteers (in costume, of course) as well.

 "I'll never forget the day that I was asked to perform for a little girl who was celebrating the beginning of a break from her cancer treatments," she says. "Seeing her face light up as she sang along with me was just incredible and it was just the most amazing day."

Though Sarah has already made a career of dressing like princesses, she says her goal is still one day to be a "real" one. "It would certainly be a dream to be a real Disney princess - I'd love to be Ariel. Maybe one day I can go for an audition and they'll give me my dream job."

Texas couple takes Nigerian nanny to the US then turns her into a slave

A Houston-area couple is accused of forcing a Nigerian woman to care for their five children and home without pay during a two-year period in which she was physically and verbally abused, made to work nearly 20 hours a day and told to sleep on the floor, federal authorities say.

Chudy and Sandra Nsobundu were arrested Monday on charges of forced labor, withholding documents, conspiracy to harbor an illegal immigrant and visa fraud. Authorities say the couple seized the nanny's passport, so she was unable to leave.
The 38-year-old nanny, whose full name is not given in the criminal complaint, told authorities she was promised $100 per month but has never been paid in her two years working for the Nsobundus in their home in the Houston suburb of Katy.

"She regularly endured physical and verbal abuse and was not treated like a human being," the criminal complaint said.

Sandra Nsobundu, 50, made her initial court appearance Tuesday morning in federal court in Houston. She was granted an unsecured bond by U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Johnson and was set to be released later Tuesday. Her attorney, Joan Nwuli, declined to comment after the court hearing.
Chudy Nsobundu, 56, was set to appear in court Tuesday afternoon. Court records did not list an attorney for him.

The Nsobundus each face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Ruben Perez, one of the federal prosecutors handling the case, said after the hearing that the nanny was "enslaved" by her employers. Perez said cases in which immigrants and others are forced to work in homes in harsh conditions as nannies or caretakers are more common than people think.

"We know they are out there. When it comes to our attention we'll act on them," he said.

The nanny, who was living in Lagos, Nigeria, moved to Texas to live with the Nsobundus in September 2013, according to the criminal complaint. The Nsobundus are naturalized U.S. citizens originally from Nigeria.

The complaint said the nanny would work every day from 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., couldn't take breaks and had to eat leftovers and not fresh food, including being forced to only drink milk left in bowls in which the children had eaten cereal. She also couldn't take hot showers, according to the complaint.

The nanny alleged Sandra Nsobundu repeatedly hit her if she thought the nanny wasn't doing her job correctly. The complaint said Sandra Nsobundu is accused of once striking the nanny across the face with a slipper and threatening to "shoot her and kill her" after not liking the socks the woman had put on one of the younger children.

After the nanny found out that she hadn't been paid in two years, she reached out for help and was rescued last October following a tip to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, the complaint said. It's not clear who made the tip.

Perez said the nanny is being cared for, but he declined to offer more details about her status.

Photos: Student sells car for breast implants

Student Miranda Forsyth swapped her car for boobs by selling her Fiat to pay for a boob job.
The 22 year old business student of Kingston University , Surrey, booked the £4,500 operation to increase her boobs from an A cup to double Ds a week after trading in her £12,000 car.
But busty Miranda doesn't regret a thing as snaps of her new assets have not only reeled in 8,000 followers on Instagram, but also landed her a part time job as a model.

She said:

"If I set my mind on something I just do it. "I really had nothing there before so I just decided to do it.

"I haven't told my mum yet because I don't think she would like it too much when I told her I was thinking about it she was fine at first but then she just kept saying I didn't need it and I was perfect the way I was."

But Miranda's breast implants almost never happened after doctors found a cyst on her ovary had exploded the day before she went under the knife.

She said:

"I just couldn't get up and was in loads of pain. "I was rushed to hospital and doctors said it was quite common for women to have cysts, mine must've been in a painful place".

The downside to Miranda's boob job is that she's had to fork out a whopping -£2,000 on clothes to fit her new bigger chest.

Cameroon-Japan Cooperation – Ambassador Okamura Meets North West Governor

The Japanese Ambassador to Cameroon, His Excellency Kunio Okamura, on February 3, 2016, in Bamenda, met with the Governor of the North West Region, Adolphe Lele Lafrique, during which they discussed cooperation between the two countries. The Ambassador was on his way to Lake Nyos area in Boyo and Menchum Divisions to visit a Japanese-funded lake degasing project.

Speaking to the press after the meeting, Kunio Okamura said the Japanese government has been funding and taking part in the monitoring of volcanic activities in the lake since the 1986 gas disaster to avoid any future occurrence. He said it was his first visit to the region since taking up duties last year. The diplomat added that it was also his first time of meeting withGovernor Lele Lafrique. On his part, Governor Lele L'Afrique thanked the Japanese government for the support given to Cameroon since 1986 in providing expertise in preventing any future gas eruption.

He said survivors and descendants of the August 21, 1986 Lake Nyos Gas Disaster needed roads and social amenities like water and classrooms. The Governor said government has taken steps to provide some of the needs, but much was still lacking. Lele Lafrique solicitedthe support of foreign partners like Japan in order to improve the living conditions of the people, noting that a security perimeter around the lake has been earmarked. This he explained, will with time enable people displaced by the disaster to return to areas not included in the security perimeter.

Drama as Policeman Arrests Goat – The Reason Will Shock You

A goat has been dramatically arrested and detained by the police for crimes bordering on gross misconduct and destruction of property.

Police in central India arrested a goat and its owner for repeatedly damaging a senior bureaucrat’s garden, a local official said Tuesday.

Police in Chattisgarh state sprang into action on Monday, registering a case against the man and his animal for chewing up the district magistrate’s garden. They were later released on bail but face initial charges of causing mischief and damage to property, said officer Ram Sewak Paikra from Janakpur town in Korea district.

“The goat and the owner were under police custody and are out, as both the sections 427 and 447 of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) are bailable offences,”Paikra told AFP.

He said the goat was allegedly a “repeat offender” in Janakpur town, some 340 kilometres (211 miles) north of state capital Raipur.

Local media were running video footage of the offending and now tethered black goat.

Rajesh Paikra, the official’s gardener, herded the captured goat to the local police station on Monday, demanding action.

“After the complaint, the owner of the goat, Abdul Hasan, was also arrested for the alleged crime,” the officer said.

“Since both the sections are bailable offences, Abdul Hasan filed a bond in the police station promising that the animal will not further damage the garden.”

Photos: Woman beaten by husband after another man was tagged with their baby's Facebook photo

A Malaysian woman was reportedly beaten by her husband because a photo of their baby was tagged with a stranger's name on Facebook. In a Facebook post, Stella Ooi from Penang, wrote that her child's photo was tagged with the name "SH Dato Lee", but she did not know this person.

"Anyone can tag photos posted on Facebook!" she wrote. "Because of this I was beaten by my husband." 

Her husband claimed that she had a relationship with "SH Dato Lee".

She added that she had two cracks in her skull and was deaf in her right ear. Photos on Facebook showed bruises on her face, arms and thigh.

In later posts, she said that she had reported the abuse to the police and was no longer with her husband. On February 4, she posted that her injuries had largely healed and she could finally go out.
