SUPER MODEL BELLA HADID EMERGES WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

American supermodel, Bella Hadid is the world’s most beautiful woman and it has been confirmed by science.

The 23-year-old scored a whopping 94.35 percent on a rating scale that measures physical perfection.

Hadid was found to be 94.35 percent “accurate” to the said equation.

“Her eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the ancient Greeks’ idea of perfection,” Daily Mail writes.

The “Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi” is a mathematical equation that defines beauty in accordance with classic Greek calculations.

Measurements of facial proportions are done going by standards that Greek scholars applied while trying to define beauty with scientific formula.

Pop diva Beyoncé coming closely at the second spot with 92.44 percent perfect followed by actress Amber Heard with a score of 91.85 percent and singer Ariana Grande with a score of 91.81 percent.

According to the publication, the list was compiled by using computerized mapping techniques by Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Julian De Silva, who uses this technology in his work.

“Bella Hadid was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection,” said the facial cosmetic surgeon who runs the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in London.

“In the world, we live in, corruption and organised crime have been the order of the day. Hardly days pass by without us hearing breaking news on corruption. What to do to fight corruption? As a child, I will resist the temptation of peer pressure. I will learn how to say no to wrongdoings. I will quickly exclude myself from groups planning or committing in my society and I will report to the authorities.

“We should have good government. Government that will not engage in corrupt practices. Government that will provide us with enabling environment. As children, we want to grow up in a place where there is peace, where there is power,  and where the rule of law is respected. The future of children and the youths is in the hands of our policymakers. So, I want to plead with you to join hands together to make our world a better, safe and inclusive place.”

LOOKS LIKE NICKI MINAJ IS NOW MARRIED TO KENNETH PETTY!

Rapper, Nicki Minaj and boyfriend Kenneth Petty appear to have officially tied the knot—and just in the nick of time! After obtaining a marriage license at a Beverly Hills Courthouse in late July, the couple had just 90 days to say “I do.”

But on Monday night, Minaj announced the exciting news on Instagram with a video that showcased matching “Mr. and Mrs.” mugs and black and white baseball caps that had “Bride” and “Groom” written across the front. “Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10•21•19,” she captionedthe post with a bride and groom emoji.

Minaj has sparked marriage rumors left and right throughout their relationship, which they made Instagram official in December 2018. Indeed, she lovingly called the 41-year-old her husband in March, changed her Twitter name to Mrs. Petty in August and tweeted about feeling “unconditionally loved” in September.

And just days after those tweets, things got even more serious when Minaj announced her retirement from music, saying she was ready for the next phase of her life: motherhood.

“I’ve decided to retire and have my family,” she tweeted in September. “I know you guys are happy now.”

“To my fans, keep reppin me,” she continued. “Do it til da death of me, in the box—cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.”

Rather than keep their relationship under wraps, Minaj frequently makes her love for Petty clear. She has referred to him as the Ken to her Barbie, and, back in December, she wrote in another Instagram post, “He want me to be his wife- his MISSIS like SIPPI NOW.”

BRIDE ASKS HER 4 GRANDMAS TO BE FLOWER GIRLS AT HER WEDDING

One bride broke with tradition in an absolutely charming way: Lyndsey Raby decided to eschew societal expectations of having young children as her flower girls and ask her four grandmas to take on the role instead.

The Tennessee-based bride asked her two grandmothers, her great-grandmother, and her new husband Tanner’s grandmother to be co-flower girls for her big day on September 22.

90-year-old Kathleen Brown, 70-year-old Joyce Raby, 76-year-old Wanda Grant, and 72-year-old Betty Brown all stepped up to the plate, wearing matching blue lace dresses with jackets.

They carried little white bags filled with white rose petals to scatter down the aisle at the wedding ceremony, which was held at Ocoee Crest in Benton, Tennessee.

Wedding photographer Natalie Caho captured a selection of touching images from the big day, which show all the flower girls are beaming with joy.

“When Lyndsey told me she was having her grandmothers as her flower girls, I was not expecting the level of sass that these girls brought!” Caho told Insider.

“Their energy all day was that of a little girl who is in the same position and they had so much fun all day being such a big part of Lyndsey’s day and sharing the spotlight with her.

“It truly just goes to show that age is just a number.”

“I’ve seen a lot of cute flower girls in my day … but these four gals take the cake,” Caho wrote on Instagram alongside an image of the flower girls with the bride.

Raby told HuffPost that she knew she wanted to involve her grandmother in her big day as soon as she got engaged.

“I felt so blessed to have them all here so I wanted them to be involved too,” she told the news site.

“I do believe they were more excited than my bridesmaids,” Raby said, adding that she encourages other engaged couples to give their grandparents roles in the wedding party.

“It means so much to them and it will mean so much more to you,” she said.

MEET KIKO DAVIS, THE FIRST & ONLY BLACK WOMAN TO OWN A BANK IN US

48-year old Kiko Davis is the majority stockholder of Detroit-based First Independence Bank, one of the top 10 largest Black-owned banks in the United States. This makes her the only Black woman in the country who owns a bank.

During an interview with Rolling Out, she said that what makes her unique as an African American female leader is her ability to genuinely connect with people and inspire a culture of synergy. “It’s a God given talent that comes naturally,” she said. “People tend to lend the very best of themselves when they feel leaders are passionate about them and their environment.”

Her inspiration

Kiko says that she is greatly inspired by Shirley Chisolm, the first Black congresswoman and the first major party Black candidate to run for president in 1972. She says her favorite quote by Chisolm is, “In the end, anti-Black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing: anti-humanism.”

She is also inspired by her late husband, Donald Davis. After his untimely death, she created a foundation in his name to perpetuate his legacy building efforts and initiatives that he envisioned and developed.

How to win

Kiko says that taking risks is very important if you want to become successful. “Without risk,” she says, “there can be no reward… Your mistakes will bring invaluable knowledge that will ultimately become your strategy for winning.”

She also strongly believes in maintaining a positive attitude, and attributes her success to prayer, eating healthy, and exercising.

VICTORIA BECKHAM REVEALS THE SECRET TO HER 20-YEAR-OLD MARRIAGE WITH HUSBAND, DAVID BECKHAM

Victoria Beckham who has been married to David Beckham for 20 years, has revealed the secrets to their decades-long union, and it’s pretty practical.

“You know, I think that the kids are our priority, and everything we do revolves around the children,” the Fashion Designer and Beauty Mogul shared with Hoda Kotb on Today . The couple shares four children: Brooklyn, Romeo James, Harper Seven, and Cruz.

“But we both work really hard. We love what we do professionally,” she continued. “We support each other and, you know, we’re very lucky to have found each other and lucky that we’re growing together.”

Victoria also said it was “love at first sight” when she first met David. She was Posh Spice in the Spice Girls at the time, and he was a famous soccer player in England, and they quickly became known as Posh and Becks.

David joked to W in 2007 that Victoria “stalked me” before they met but, he says, “I fancied her.” David explained that he saw a Spice Girls video in 1996 before he met Victoria and said to his friend, “‘That one there, that’s the girl I’m going to marry.'” Called it!

Things havent been seamless in their marriage, though. The couple has faced a slew of cheating rumors over the years, which theyve vehemently denied in public. Of course, it doesnt seem to have fazed their marriage.

Now, Victoria says its a lot to manage her familys schedules and stay close but “communication is key,” and she and David are “very present in the kids’ lives.”

“You know, we love our family. Everything we do revolves around our family,” she explained. “I think it’s just being focused, working hard, [and] having a great support team around us.”

They also get some solid support from the grandparents, which is clutch. “Both of our parents are very, very present and help with the kids,” Victoria said.

“THERE IS A REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT THAT THRIVES IN SOUTHERN AND EAST AFRICA THAT DOESN’T THRIVE IN US” – CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE

Felabration is an annual festival held in honour of the late musician and activist, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. This year’s theme is ‘From Lagos With Love’.

The event, which held yesterday at the NECA Events Center, Ikeja Central Business District, Alausa Ikeja, Lagos, had the theme: “Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense.”

On the need for a revolution, she said Nigerians are docile when they should be vocal and as a result Nigeria does not matter in the global scheme of things.

“There is a revolutionary spirit that thrives in southern and eastern Africa that doesn’t thrive in us, a political revolutionary spirit and I worry that it has a lot to do with the way our educational system is, we don’t really matter. I think that’s the reality. It is up to us to make that change because if you look at the foreign policy of positive nations, by their actions, you can tell that they don’t think we matter. They think China matters. They think India would matter, not really us. And you can tell by their foreign policy,” she said.

The popular writer said she fell in love with Fela’s music through her older brother, Chuks, she said.

On Fela, she said: “When I was younger, he came to represent a kind of unapologetic courage and authenticity.”

Other speakers at the event included law teacher, Prof. Akin Oyebode, Kingslee James, McLean Daley, a British activist popularly called Akala and Ugandan singer and politician Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (Bobi Wine).

Dignitaries at the event included , Femi Falana (SAN), Kingsley Moghalu, Professor Wole Soyinka, Professor Femi Osofisan, Rikki Stein, Femi Kuti, Yeni Kutiamong others.
