The desire and effort to stay young have engulfed the minds of our
generation. Despite our inherent desire to stay young and remain
relevant in life, most of us will fail because we are on the wrong
path.Staying forever young is not an illusion; it is achievable and many
people are already living it.
Staying young and relevant in life does not come with cosmetic and
surgical enhancements. It does not also come with holding on to power or
authority in life.
For us to achieve the rapidly spreading desire of staying young and
relevant, we must first be able to ascertain what makes us ‘feel’ old.

It’s just been months since Kanye West hooked up with TV star Kim
Kardashian and they already have their first controversial scenario to
share with us…
Late last night, June 12, 2012, Kanye West brewed up storm as he reportedly tweeted a naked picture of his girlfriend Kim.
Yeezy shocked his seven million plus followers when he
‘accidentally’ put on his Twitter page a picture of a woman who has a
very striking resemblance to Kim K, posing stark naked eating at a
table.
The picture however does not give up the identity of the woman as
she backs the camera. But attributed with the same voluptuous backside
and curves Kim has, fans are already saying it cannot belong to any
other.
Kanye West soon deleted the tweet but not before the name
‘Kardashian’ became a trending topic on the micro-blogging site. The
31-year old then tweeted a picture of herself and West wearing matching
Nike Air Yeezy II sneakers.
Reports say Kim was mad at her beau Kanye for tweeting the picture and requested he removed it immediately.
Meanwhile there are speculations that the woman in the picture
might be porn star Amia Miley. Miley also tweeted; ‘Im not going 2 argue
about whether that pic is me or not.. want proof? look at the back
dimple piercings. kim k doesn’t have though’.
In other news, US Weekly is reporting that the G.O.O.D Music boss
is keen on starting a family with Kim as he want to marry her and start

few weeks after celebrity singer, Dapo Oyebanjo, aka D’Banj, joined G.O.O.D Music/Mercury Records, somebody started a rumour that he was shot in a nightclub in the USA.
But unknown to most of his fans in Nigeria, D’Banj was busy celebrating the success of his new hit single- Oliver Twist- in the United Kingdom.
Freshly remixed by Don Jazzy, the CD unexpectedly climbed the UK chart to an impressive ninth position. On his part, D’Banj expressed his gratitude to God by dragging his friends and well-wishers to a well deserved cocktail at the prestigious club Aura in Mayfair, London.

A Koko concert is scheduled to take place in the UK in August with an impressive line-up of top Nigerian artistes.
Montpellier ace would join
Podolski at Emirates, and bit-player Marouane Chamakh could be the
sweetener, as Gunners prepare for future without RvP
Arsenal are reported to have agreed a fee of £13million with Montpellier for France international striker Olivier Giroud.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been sniffing around the player who
fired Montpellier to the League title in France last season – but now
widespread reports are claiming a fee has been agreed.
Wenger has already brought Germany star Lukas Podolski to the club
this summer and Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has promised further
signings.
There have been suggestions that Marouane Chamakh could move the other way as part of the deal.
Both Chelsea and QPR were thought to be in the hunt for Giroud, but

activates a £12.8million release clause in the player's contract.

Thing are going from bad to worse in Nigeria, as the stories we receive keep getting dreadfully worse.

WHEN I talk about self-esteem, I talk about a feeling of being happy with oneself, one’s ability, and one’s character. A lot of people have lost so many things in life; opportunities have slipped away from many people due to this very problem of low self-esteem. People have lost relationships they cherish so much because of this same problem. It is a very big disease that has kept a lot of people down.
With the confirmation that all the 152 passengers who were on board Dana Air flight 992 last Sunday died in the crash, the airline insurers would have to pay over N2.3 billion in compensation fees to the relatives of the victims.

The money can only be paid to blood relatives of the victims who come to identify their loved ones, including foreigners who perished in the ill-fated plane.
“It’s what’s on the inside that counts”, that is what most women
say. They throw around notions about “confidence” and “sense of humor”
and claim not to care what kind of shirt you wear as long as there’s a
good heart underneath it. These ladies are liars! They say don’t judge a
book by its cover but as some book covers has taught us, what’s on the
outside can often give a pretty good indication of the quality within.
Based on girls’ gist and research we have come up with some looks that
make men very “unsexy.
1.
They wear clothes that don’t fit – Overly baggy clothes will make you
look like you are wearing sloppy hand-me-downs. If your body type makes
it hard to find good fitting clothes off the rack, make your tailor your
best friend.
2.
Wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie – Unless you work for a
fast-food joint – where sleeves get dirty making sandwiches – avoid
wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie. They are generally perceived as
lower class apparel. If you want to stay looking professional and
confident, stick to long-sleeve shirts when wearing ties.
3. Wrong socks with a suit – When you’re wearing a suit, match your
socks color to your pants, not your shoes (for professional and formal
occasions). This is the same
as mismatching your suit pants to your jacket. If you’re wearing a navy
blue suit with black shoes, reach for navy blue socks. And when wearing
a light suit, make sure the socks are darker than the suit but a shade
or so lighter than the shoes. This rule of course can be broken if done
deliberately for your style’s sake.
4. Improper tie length – A man’s tie should always end at the center
of his belt buckle. A simple touch overlooked by many. Having a tie
that’s too short or too long, can make a man look incompetent. So our
men with “funny” ties get them burnt.
5. Being too “buttoned” up – If a jacket has two buttons, only fasten
the top button. If it has three buttons, you can close the top button
only, the middle button only, or both the middle and top button. The key
is to always leave the bottom button undone. This is a tradition that
has been used for decades, and will keep your style looking smart
6. Socks and sandals – Have you seen anyone ever pull this off, and
look sexy? Case closed. Boys alone are allowed to operate in this
territory.
7. Dress socks that aren’t long enough – When wearing a suit, your
socks should come up to your calves, and stay there. When you cross your
legs, you shouldn’t be showing any part of your legs. Isn’t it lovely
when you see a man’s hairy leg peeking over his socks? But when dressed
casual, it’s a great idea to go short on the socks or go completely
sockless. So fully covered for professional wear, or try the sockless
look if you’re out for a casual occasion.
8. Wearing the wrong colors – It’s important to match the color of
your clothes to your skin tone. You want the focus to be on you, not the
overwhelming color of your shirt. If you have dark skin, you can either
wear dark colors or bright colors that match the strength of your skin
color. If you have very fair skin, lighter colors are most flattering on
you – like soft pastels or icy colors.
9. Wearing too many colors – Limit each of your outfits to a maximum
of three colors or shades to maintain a coordinated look. If in doubt
find a color wheel online and use it to help you choose your colors.
Colors opposite each other on the wheel are “complementary colors.”
Colors adjacent to each other are called “analogous colors.” When
putting together an outfit, stick to complementary and analogous colors
and remember that less is more.
10.
Wearing a backpack with a suit – Whenever I’m walking around the city, I
see a lot of professional people wearing nice suits – but carrying
backpacks! Okay, a backpack may be easier to carry over your shoulders
than a briefcase in your hand, but you can also get a comfortable
messenger bag that hangs across your chest to maintain a more
professional look.
11. Unflattering hairstyles – Hair is one area of your image that you
can constantly experiment with and upgrade without paying more than you
normally do. Look around and see which hairstyles look flattering to
you, and try something new this season.
12. Excessive cologne – If a woman can smell your cologne only when
she’s close, great! She’ll have more reason to stay close. If a woman
can smell you from across the room, does she need to come any closer?
Depending on the strength of your cologne, use with caution. If your
cologne loses it’s scent later in the day, simply reapply. A good rule
of thumb is to limit it to two sprays – once on your neck and wrists.
13. Too much jewelry – All the jewelry a man needs are watches that
will match different outfits, and a wedding ring if he’s married. If
you’re young and you like necklaces, go for it. But unless you’re a rock
star, don’t go around wearing three rings, bracelets, and a bunch of
necklaces at the same time. It looks tacky. Try and limit yourself to no
more than three pieces of jewelry
14. Sweatpants in public– Unless you’re going to the gym, avoid
wearing sweats out in public. You’re not wearing them to look your best;
you’re wearing them because you’re lazy! Now we surely know how to
identify the lazy men!
15. Clipping your cell phone to your belt – I can’t believe people
still do this! Only those that do manual labor are allowed to do this.
This act is as attractive as using a Bluetooth headset as a fashion
accessory. Keep your cell phone in your pocket.
