What is wrong with this picture? Lol
Comedian Funky Mallam has an opinion on the swimwear above and this he shared on Instagram. He wrote, 'Obviously fashion has gone satanic This designer and the
model must be mentally retarded. How can a normal person call this a
cloth in the name of fashion or style? This is diametrically against
the ethics of fashion designing. This is the total definition of madness. Even a mad woman would rain curses at the sight of this naked
runway lunatic. The title of her chest is "Ala gi o da go".'

Dear LIB readers; My wife complains that I don't do the 'little things'
From a male LIB reader
So my wife and I have had a few bouts over the past couple months (5 months married) about how "the little things matter most". This concept is not strange to me, as I do sometimes cook, clean, and always get the door for my wife. Problem is though, she's brought it up on more than a few occasions that I don't leave her "cute little notes" or "surprise her with cute little gifts"... Translation - I'm not romantic and definitely do not pay attention to "the little things that matter".
Four siblings kill themselves after being abandoned by their parents
Four siblings aged between 5 and 13 reportedly committed suicide in Bijie City in China's province Guizhou on
Tuesday June 9 after they were abandoned by their parents. The oldest, a girl, reportedly left a note saying 'today is the day to go', before she and her two sisters and brother drank poison. Neighbours who noticed that the children hadn't been seen in a while went to their house to find them all lying still. She contacted other neighbours who rushed the children to the hospital where they later all died.
Police said they can't confirm if the children had all deliberately drank poison to kill themselves or if one of them had put poison in their food unknowingly to others as the youngest who was just 5 years old can't understand what suicide is...

Dealing with meeting targets in your place of work
I've put money in two Nigerian banks because of banker friends who told me they have a target to meet every month/year. Others have come asking me to help them out, but mehn, how many bank accounts is one supposed to have? I don't know how it works because I've never worked for any company before but it must put a lot of pressure on a worker who needs to meet a particular (money) target every month. Below is something that was sent to a LIB reader by her company...
1. In-view of the knowledge you have been impacted with on the job, which we believe you can now use to fully benefit (the company) in terms of making profit, salaries will be target based. Which indicates that your monthly salary of N100,000 will be paid fully if you meet a target of N500,000 monthly in terms of getting businesses for (the company)So, she said she will now be paid N25k because she can't meet that N500k monthly target. But are companies who demand this, unreasonable or they are within their rights to, because you have to make profit to pay salary, right? What do you guys think?
2. In case you are not able to achieve the set target, a basic salary of N25,000 will be paid and 10% commission on every amount you make for (the company). This takes effect from Tuesday 2nd June, 2015.
