Kanye West will reportedly face a £6
million bill if he cheats on Kim Kardashian , in a clause that is part
of an £82.8 million prenuptial agreement, according to insiders.
The rapper and TV star married in an
Italian ceremony last Saturday night that was reported to have cost
around £11 million. While the newlyweds are on top of the world now, it
has been reported that they have drawn up a multi-million pound prenup
to protect both of their fortunes.
According to the Daily Star ,
as well as Kanye’s £6 million cheating clause, if Kim walks out on her
husband in the next three years, she will not see a single penny from
his estimated £60 million fortune.

to protect both of their fortunes.
According to the Daily Star ,
as well as Kanye’s £6 million cheating clause, if Kim walks out on her
husband in the next three years, she will not see a single penny from
his estimated £60 million fortune.
“Kim gets absolutely nothing if the union is
as short-lived as her last one,” a legal source has alleged to the
paper, in reference to her infamous 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries.
If the marriage lasts longer than three years
though, Kim will reportedly receive around £600,000 a year, and will
bank another £3 million for every child she gives birth to during the
marriage.
Kim, already worth £24 million on her own, will also become the prime beneficiary of her husband’s life insurance policy.
“It might look as if the prenup is heavily weighted in her favour but that is actually not the case,” the source explained.
“If they didn’t have any kind of agreement, under the law in
California which will continue to be their main state of residence, she
would be entitled to exactly half of all his worldly assets if they
divorce. So the reality is that Kanye actually comes out on top in this
prenup.”
As
the nation celebrated Children’s Day yesterday, May 27, two children
were allegedly beaten to death by their parents in Agege and Oregun
areas of Lagos State.
At about 2pm, a 12-year-old boy,
Onyedikachi Mbanozo was reportedly beaten to coma by his guardians, one
Mr and Mrs Paul Obiefule of 22, Omitola Street, Agege.
It was
gathered from other residents in the area that the Obiefules were always
beating the boy and they had always been warned of its implications but
they turned a deaf ear.
On that fateful day, they had asked him
to do some chores but he allegedly went to play with his peers and when
they saw him they got angry and started beating him until he went into
coma.
He was said to have later died of severe bleeding and pains.
When
the police got the information, they moved to the scene, arrested the
suspects and recovered the body of the deceased, which was later
deposited in the mortuary.
Similarly, a man allegedly hit his son
identified as Bright, on the head with an iron belt for stealing N1,000
at the Oregun area of Ikeja.
The boy was rushed to Divine Private Hospital at Lawal Street, Oregun, where he was later confirmed dead.
The corpse has been deposited at the Lagos State University Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja mortuary for autopsy.
Confirming
the two tragic incidents, Police spokesperson Ngozi Braide, a Deputy
Superintendent (DSP), said the two cases were still under investigation
at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba.
She also warned parents to desist from beating their children, saying there were other ways to punish a child.
"Any
parent who kills his or her child will go in for it and the law will
take its course.The law will not consider if you are a parent or
not;once you kill, you will be arrested and prosecuted," she said. (Naij.com) READ MORE: http://news.naij.com/67150.html
Ladies, not every guy is a member of the lucky sperm club. Not every
poor guy today is worth investing in. Some are simply hopeless and will
never hit it big. Some are purely millionaires in the making. But to
spare you from waking up one morning realizing you’ve invested your
time, effort and youth for nothing, here’s the rule of thumb used
to sift out good penny stocks.
1. He knows he is good at something.
Knowing his worth is usually the first step towards wealth creation.
Baby-sitting, baking, gardening or whatever so long as he recognizes
that the skills he honed are exchangeable for money.
2. He is self-disciplined.
He has the ability to concentrate on future financial goals without swaying from everyday tasks that will lead him there. No matter how boring or unpleasant.
3. He blames himself, not others.
He thinks it’s always his fault. Either partially or entirely. It might
seem a little sadistic but it’s him actually knowing that he has control
over his environment, decisions and ultimately his own future.
4. He lives below his means.
It doesn’t mean he’s a miser. He chooses to accumulate more wealth
rather than to succumb to short-lived pleasures of buying a Rolex or a
BMW. Someone in the relationship has to make this sacrifice at the
beginning. If not him, who else?
5. He is a doer.
He doesn’t blabber on and on about how he is going to do something
great. He just does it. He doesn’t complain about doing stuff. He just
does it.
6. He is extremely curious.
He takes time and effort to figure out the nuts and bolts of why things
work or don’t work. Opportunity sometimes arises when he stumbles upon
an unserved niche.
7. He is thick skinned.
He has the balls to execute his crazy plans. Whatever they may be.
Failure doesn’t concern him. Or should I say he isn’t afraid of being
laughed at if he didn’t succeed. He repeats 6 and tries again.
Investing in men is largely based on intrinsic value. You’ll win some
and you’ll lose some. But when you do win, make sure you win big.
So
good luck ladies. May the dating market be forever bullish.

What a topic! Well let’s start by defining what I mean by sacred.
Sacred means something that is special, important, worthy of respect,
pure … not a toy or something to be taken lightly. No, I’m not going to
get all preachy or religious on you, but some of what I say is inspired
by a theological seminar I attended on the weekend about just this
topic. I went partly because I was curious and partly because I knew the
organizer. Although I didn’t agree with a lot of it, I did find it
quite informative and it gave me a lot of food for thought. So like I
said, I won’t be talking in religious terms, but, there might be some
theological undertones.
In general however, most major
religions do consider sex a sacred thing between two people, typically
married people. I won’t get into details, but pre-marital sex is
generally forbidden. This also translates to cultural taboos as well.
Things are slowly changing on the cultural fronts, however, there hasn’t
been a shift in thought on the religious front. Sex has always been a
holy and sacred thing not to be used as a “toy” (even though in practice
it was and still is a different story). Essentially, sexual behavior is
directly related to the morality of the individual. Makes sense,
morality is what guides our actions (whether we are moral individuals or
not). If you want to read more about each religion and their beliefs this is a pretty good source Religion and Sexuality.
In the latest issue of Psychology Today, their cover article 12 Rude Revelations About Sex(which is definitely worth a read) had this to say about what religions know about sex that we don’t:
“Only religions still take sex seriously, in the sense of
properly respecting its power to turn us away from our priorities. Only
religions see it as something potentially dangerous and needing to be
guarded against. Perhaps only after killing many hours online at
youporn.com can we appreciate that on this one point religions have got
it right: Sex and sexual images can overwhelm our higher rational faculties with depressing ease.
Religions are often mocked for being prudish, but they wouldn’t judge
sex to be quite so bad if they didn’t also understand that it could be
rather wonderful.”
According to religion, is sex sacred? Yes it is. OK religious stuff done. Let’s get to the real talk …
Is Sex Sacred?
What a loaded question!! Well, not really. Let’s put religion aside
for a moment and think of sacred as something special and significant.
So put that way, would you say that sex should be something that is
special and significant? I would say a big YES. Why? Well, I’ll tell
you. Sex has lost its special nature. I truly believe that in this
culture of casual, unemotional sex, hook ups and booty calls, sex has
lost its importance. So many people are getting hurt because sex is being misused. This
isn’t an argument for or against pre-marital sex, it’s an argument to
make sex special again. If it’s two consenting adults it doesn’t really
matter, or does it? Well, I think it does, particularly since a lot of
people are getting hurt because of it. Let me explain.
In the search for intimacy and closeness, we tend to reach out to
others in different ways. The desire for closeness with others is part
of our humanity. Nothing at all wrong with that. Where it becomes a
problem is when people use sex in a non-committal way to get close to
other people because they don’t feel fulfilled. The thing is, these
casual encounters, instead of fulfilling their need for intimacy,
typically make them feel more alone and, in many cases, used. The
emptiness remains and it’s joined by feelings of regret and sometimes
guilt. This is the reality that many men and women face. I know this
because I’ve spoken to many people who have had this experience, and,
let’s face it, we’ve ALL been there. Some people are truly capable of
having unemotional, purely physical sex, but most people aren’t. This is
the reality of the current dating climate. I’ve asked you before … who’s in control? You or your sex drive?
Food For Thought
I’m not here to judge or make anyone feel bad. I’m a bit on the fence
too. Just wanted to put it out there as a thought. What if we
restricted our sex lives to committed relationships? Could we avoid a
lot of hurt and feeling used? What if we didn’t have sex on the first
date? What if we didn’t answer that booty call? What if we made sex with
our partners special? What if sex was about making that connection with
someone even deeper? What if sex was about our partner’s pleasure and
happiness before our own? What if sex was uniting two human beings into
one? What if infidelity wasn’t an issue because sex was
sacred? Is anyone ready to make a 180 degree turn back to making sex
sacred again? Because isn’t the best sex that which you have with
someone you truly care about, maybe even love? Food for thought.
