For His Number 1 Family - Peter Okoye Gives Reasons He Was Absent at Brother's Wedding

Posted in: , , ,

Peter has continued sharing pictures of himself as not involved in his elder brother Jude's wedding, causing some of his fans to question his loyalty and priorities.

In his replies to the criticisms, Peter says his "number 1 family for now" is the one he built. He defends his actions by pointing out that a parent has to cater more to his children than his siblings, asking, "which blood is thicker than the 1 of my children?"

What do you think of his reasons? Read his tweet rants below...

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt it. A strange peace, a calm clarity. He stretched.  Even his limbs were stronger and surer. He looked at his phone. Thirty-seven new text messages – and all while he was asleep. With one click, he deleted them. The empty screen buoyed him. Then he got up to bathe, determined to fold the day into the exact shape that he wanted.

Those Levick people had to go. No more foreign PR firms. They should have made that article in the American newspaper sound like him, they should have known better. They had to go. And he would not pay their balance; they had not fulfilled the purpose of the contract after all.

He pressed the intercom. Man Friday came in, face set in a placidly praise-singing smile. “Good morning, Your Excellency!”

Last year the boy, from nearby Tshwane, tied the knot with bride Helen after claiming he had been told by his dead ancestors to wed.

This Teacher's Letter to Her Class About The 'Many Ways to Be Smart' Is A Must Read For Parents

Posted in: , , ,

I was one of those who did OK with tests and exams, but a few of them tripped me up and made me cry when someone else did better or took the position I wanted.

It is now at this stage in my life, that I've realized those standardized tests make it seem like we're all the same, which we're not. This teacher tries to let the kids in their class understand that too, I love it.

Time and chance, they say, happens to us all. As more news about the crashed Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 come out, you want to simply break down and cry.

Barry Sim and his wife spoke of their reactions after he hearing the plane they so desperately wanted to board was shot down.

Bearded Swedish Male Model Becomes Global Heartthrob After Photos Go Viral

Posted in: , ,

Photos of Swedish model Ben Dahlhaus has been generating just aboout the same swoon worth as that of Jeremy Meeks mugshot did last month.

The model is receiving thousands of indecent proposals on various online platforms, from women - and men - around the world, many describing him as the hottest man on earth. A fashion writer even used the caption 'his sad face is hotter than your hottest face' - and many people agreed.

For me, the guy is obviously good-looking and the long hair is cool, but bearded men don't really do anything for me.

What do you think? Is he your latest man candy?

Kim Kardashian Topless and Flashing Her Booty in Tiny Bikini As She Vacations in Mexico

Posted in: , ,

Kim Kardashian shared some new pictures of herself while vacationing with her girlfriends in Mexico and it seems she's back to the body baring Kim we used to know and love :)

She captioned the picture of her and girlfriend Abbey Wilson; "#OurLovelyLadyLumps."

I guess her friend's lump she's referring to is the growing (and bare) baby bump and Kim's lumps will be, of course, her famous booty.

Kim was also topless in the photo but because she's lying on her tummy, we can't see her other lumps, if you get what I mean. Now those that want to ask what Kanye will say can go ahead, LOL...
