Ukranian Security Negotiate To Free Kidnapped Nigerian Students

Nine Nigerian students were abducted by separatists on Monday in the eastern city of Luhansk, Ukraine. According to Ukrainian official, negotiations are underway to free them.

The Nigerian students were taken captive by ‘the terrorists’. Militants have been holding them as prisoners for four days already at an occupied government security building.

According to Colonel Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, who spoke with reporters Wednesday, people with experience conducting negotiations were making contact with what he called "the terrorists."

He said Ukrainian officials hoped the talks would end "successfully in the near future."

Relatives of kidnapped students have been making efforts to address a press conference at the Nigerian Embassy in Ukraine.

The city is deep inside rebel-held territory, close to the Russian border.

Separatists seeking greater autonomy have been waging a bloody battle in eastern Ukraine against the government.

This Is How Rick Ross Looks After Loosing Over 100lbs

It seemed like it was just yesterday when fans were concerned about Rick Ross’ health. He suffered two seizures shortly one after the other last year. Even rapper 50 Cent commented on Rick Ross’ health scare in an interview with Angie Martinez, stating Hip Hop doesn’t need another loss due to being over weight, like Big Pun; “If a person has a seizure twice, they’re not really [taking care of themselves]. You can look and see he’s not conscious of his health. We lost [Big] Pun like that. I don’t wish death on nobody…It’s early age for you to be having two seizures.” Counting all that money I guess wasn’t enough for Rick Ross’. It seems as if he realized he can’t make that money, if he doesn’t have his health. After being introduced to a trainer, and learning he needed to change his diet, he realized it was time. There was no specific weight loss goal, but he knew it was time to make that change for the better; “It was just time for me to tighten up a little bit, you know what I’m saying. As far as, you know, me working out…I have no destination, no specific weight.” Recently Ross’ has been popping up doing interviews, and performing on stage looking healthier than ever! Losing an easy estimate of over 100lbs, this Maybach rapper has definitely been putting in work. He claims he doesn’t run on the treadmill for hours, he does something that he likes to call “RossFit”; “I do this sh-t called CrossFit. I call it RossFit. Earlier this summer, Reebok had introduced me to a trainer, and what he turned me onto was, let’s say, for instance, if you got on the treadmill, and you did that sh-t for 30 minutes. Yeah, you burning calories, but you could be doing something that’s burning calories and building muscle at the same time. So, it’s like you working out for a shorter time”. As for as his diet goes, he says he now incorporates healthy foods including fruit; “But now, they, they, you know, they give me fruit to eat. I forgot what fruit, you know, tasted like. I eat pears now and sh-t like that”.

Government of Ghana Disputes World Cup Fans’ Brazil Asylum Bid| Says Ghana is a Peaceful Country…

After it emerged yesterday that over 200 Ghanaian football fans suspected to be part of the 650 official supporters the Government of Ghana sponsored to the 2014 Brazil World Cup were seeking for asylum in Brazil, the Government has reacted, suggesting that the grounds for their claims are false.
Before moving on to what the Government of Ghana is saying, let me point out that—if the Government attended to the problems of Ghana with the same swiftness with which it attends to issues damaging to its reputation, the country would have been better and these people will not be seeking for asylum in Brazil.
According to the fans who have become asylum seekers in Brazil, they are Muslims who are fleeing religious conflict in Ghana.
However, the Deputy Information Minister-Felix Kwakye Ofosu has come out to say, “the basis for this alleged [asylum] request is completely false as no religious conflict is taking place in Ghana”.
He added that, “Ghana’s mission in Brazil has been instructed to liaise with the Brazilian authorities to investigate the matter”.
No doubt Ghana is a peaceful country—and this is because the citizens love peace. However, Ghana is at economic war and these Ghanaians do not want to be part of the struggling, which is tipped to get worse should the Government continue this way…

Ghanaians Refuse to Leave Brazil Back to Ghana | Over 200 Fans Seek Asylum

After Ghana’s embarrassing demands for cash at the world cup and the ensuing spectacle, one would think their woes were over but no, more disgrace is on the way.
So many of the people who went to watch the world cup have decided that Ghana is too hot for them and so they cannot return! They are hence seeking asylum in Brazil!

I have no idea what they would have done if it was a booming economy they had walked into like in the USA or Germany. According to reports, hundreds of Ghanaians who entered Brazil as tourists to watch World Cup games have asked for asylum!

Noerci da Silva Melo head of Federal Police in Caxias do Sul said that over the past week 200 Ghanaians asked for asylum. And although they have not yet decided whether to grant their requests, they will be allowed for now to live and work in Brazil till they are accepted or denied.
According to these Ghanaians, they cannot return to Ghana because they gave several life threatening problems in Ghana and would rather stay away. Hahahah! Ei! Ghanaians! This always happens during football season when countries move to watch the games. I just wish Brazil would sack all of them back onto the next plane quickly! What annoying disgrace is this?

Some of them claim they are Muslims who are fleeing conflict.
Interesting that the Brazilians are even allowing them to stay for awhile. Most of them have left to other cities in Brazil to look for work and some are being taken care of by a roman catholic mission until they can be integrates into the system or returned home depending on what the outcome of their asylum request is.

So if your uncle who went for the world cup isn’t back yet, you know he is among these people....lol

Celebrating Babies "R" Us' partnership with Operation Shower, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was asked for tips on dressing baby bumps.
Tip #1: Don't bother.

"I recommend hiding for a good year and having no pregnancy style," Kim said. "That's what I recommend. If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house."
Sister Khloe Kardashian protested, "Okay, well that's not practical. Give a different answer." Kim stuck to her guns, saying, "That's really my recommendation!"

Easy Ways to Remove Acne Scars Naturally and Fast.

Acne can be a painful and embarrassing skin affliction, and the scars it leaves behind are an unwelcome reminder of that. While most acne scars will fade on their own after several months, there are certain things you can do to help speed up the process and avoid further hyperpigmentation. Realistically, you will not be able to make acne scars disappear in a single night, but the remedies, products, treatments and skincare tips outlined below will certainly produce a noticeable difference over time. You just need to find the right method for your individual skin type.

(1) Egg Whites

Egg whites have very powerful healing qualities that will help heal your scarring and eventually make it less visible. Egg white is full of proteins and amino acids which can tighten the pores to prevent new breakouts while it lightens the scarred skin. Take a small bowl and whip 3 egg whites until they become fluffy and white. Use your fingers to gently spread the egg whites on to your skin - concentrate on the problem areas. Let the egg whites dry on the skin and wait a few minutes before rinsing away gently with moderately warm water. Do this 2-3 times a week.
 

(2) Baking Soda

Baking soda is coarse but not that coarse, its small particles are smooth and would not damage the skin. And if applied correctly it will gently slough off the top layer of dead skin cells without causing your sensitive facial skin to become irritated or inflamed. Simply mix a small amount of baking soda with water to make a consistent paste. Very gently massage the baking soda onto your skin and leave it on for one minute, before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. Remember to always moisturize your skin afterwards; I personally, massage a few drops of olive oil on my face and it works very well. Repeat this 2-3 times a week or depending on your exfoliation routine.
 

(3) Lemon Juice

Lemon juice contains citric acid which, along with lactic and glycolic acids, is one of the most commonly found Alpha Hydroxy Acids or AHAs. AHAs are very well known for their cosmetic usage. Many skin care products, including anti-aging creams and chemical peels, have AHAs in them as a key ingredient. Topical application of AHAs is said to induce an increased production of collagen and increased skin thickness. All of which equates to more healing for scarred skin. Additionally, lemon juice, due to it natural acidic content, is a powerful disinfectant which helps in destroying acne causing bacteria and it is a natural exfoliant which removes dead skins cells and facilitates the formation of new healthy skin. Furthermore, it helps in lightening the skin tone which helps in countering the effects of hyper-pigmentation - another souvenir of your acne days. As for the lemon juice remedy : Ensure that your skin is clean by washing it with a mild acne cleanser. Then take a bowl and squeeze 1-3 lemons in it or better yet buy an all natural lemon juice from your local grocery store. Take a cotton ball and dab it with the juice. Apply the juice to effected areas completely but don't overdo it. Repeat this 2-3 times a week. Remember if you have sensitive skin, the juice may induce a stinging effect, but it will likely happen only the first couple of times. If the stinging effect accompanies significant redness then discontinue usage because your skin is far too sensitive for this method. I have sensitive skin but it was bearable and the sensation did go away after the 3rd application..so its still a very workable solution for those with sensitive skins, but you need to listen to your skin's reaction before applying anything.
 

(4) Aloe Vera juice

Aloe Vera juice or gel, is a fantastic way to remove acne scars. Not only does it soothe inflamed skin, it also boosts the immune system and regenerates damaged tissue. Its mild acerbic qualities ensures that with regular usage acne breakouts would be easily prevented resulting in a softer skin, decreased swelling and invigorating new cell growth and thereby reduced acne scars which eventually fade over time. Many in the cosmetic industry are recognizing the importance of this miracle plant and incorporating its extracts in many skin care products. You can buy such over the counter products but I would strongly recommend getting either fresh aloe vera gel or juice every time by growing an aloe vera plant in your very backyard (believe me it isn't a hassle) or buy it in its all natural form without an additives.
 

(5) Olive Oil

Olive oil is packed with iron and vitamins A, D, E, C, B1 and B2. Vitamin E is increasingly being recognized as an important player in helping the fight against the aging process. Olive oil being rich in anti-oxidants and a good anti-inflammatory agent helps prevent acne and removes acne scars effectively. Because olive oil is non-comedogenic i.e it doesn't clog pores, and because it effectively dissolves dirt and oil trapped within our already clogged pores; it is a good acne scar treatment. Before going to bed gently massage olive oil onto your facial skin, concentrating on the trouble spots. Continue massaging for a few minutes till you can feel that your pores are completely saturated. Drape a warm wash cloth over your face to steam and hence open the pores. Gently wipe away the excess oil. Repeat the process 1-2 times before rinsing your face with cold water. Apply a very thin layer of olive oil on your face and leave it on for at least 15 minutes before going to bed.
