Kim Kardashian Shows 100% Support For Bruce Jenner on His Sex Change

Speaking to Matt Lauer on The Today Show this morning, Kim said she isn't vain.

She then got down to a slightly more important topic: how is she reacting to the Bruce Jenner sex change and the bombshell interview Jenner gave Diane Sawyer on Friday night?

"I’m really happy for him that he is living his life the way he wants to live it,” the 34-year-old said of her stepfather. “And that he has found inner peace and just pure happiness. That’s what life is about.

In his revealing chat with Sawyer, Jenner said Kanye's wife was the first family member to know about his sexual identity crisis - and also that she has handled it better than anyone.

“I don’t know what life would be like if you always felt like you weren’t yourself,” Kim added. “As long as he is happy, and he wants to live his life, however he wants to live it, that just makes me happy. And I support him 100 percent."

But Kardashian admitted there's clearly been an adjustment period for the family, saying they have spoken to GLAAD and sat down for therapy sessions.

She also says Bruce is trying to make it as easy as possible for all his loved ones.

"Bruce wants us to feel as comfortable as possible and take everything at our own pace, and we love him for that, and we respect him for that," Kim said.

"Until that transition is done, we've learned that you do refer to him as him. He's been really, really good at explaining everything to us, even though it's really new.

"These have been newer feelings - not newer feelings for him, but for us to digest. He's done a really good job of walking us through it."

Family members, meanwhile, aren't the only ones reacting in a positive way to Jenner's revealing Q&A.
On Saturday night, Demi Lovato dedicated a rendition of the track "Warrior" to Bruce, referring to him as a "hero" and saying he's gonna help save so many lives.

Chinese Firm Caught Manufacturing Poisonous Condoms For Kenya

Kenya is currently dealing with many issues and here is just something else to think about. The Chinese police have raided several factories producing condoms with substandard material and poisonous heavy metals bound for Kenya.



According to Kenya Today, several provinces in China, including Shanghai, Guangdong and Shaanxi, have seen the fake condoms circulating.

The concern now for other African countries that are still fighting the war against HIV/AIDS is how many other factories are involved and how many of these fake branded condoms are in circulation.

Dr Alext Otti Rejects Abia Governorship Results, Heads To Tribunal

All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Governorship Candidate in the just concluded election in Abia, Dr Alex Otti has rejected the governorship result announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, , describing it as a rape on democracy.

 

He made this rejection while addressing the press in his Campaign Office along Bank road Umuahia, Abia state capital.

He called on the people of Abia , whom he said that the result has thrown into mourning to mourn no more, adding that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

He advised Abians not to resort to brigandage, thuggery, or do the wrong thing as he believes that two wrongs can make a right.

“I am calling on my people to remain calm and steadfast, they should ensure that they maintain the peace, the election has come , but is has not gone, the battle has just started”, Otti asserted.

He assured Abians that he will stop at nothing in ensuring that the mandate they have freely given to him , “not as an individual, but as agent of change, will never be stolen,adding that “evil can never triumph over good. And if it seems that it is triumphing, it is only momentry because good must prevail”, Otti stated.

“ We are going to challenge this charade at the tribunal, and we are very confident that with the wind of change in the entire country, that Change will not be obstructed in Abia state. We are standing on the part of justice because in this whole process, we have remained on the part of truth and refused to be lured into anything wrong and because we are standing on the part of justice, we must get justice. I know a lot of my supporters in Abia state are angry, if you go round the state today, it is like a dark cloud covering the whole state. There may be pockets of rejoicing, but those are pockets. Ninety percent of Abians are mourning. They are morning , not because somebody died, but because their will had been truncated, the mandate they had freely given, seem to have been stolen”, Otti said.

 

He called on Abians to remain prayerful because with God , all things are possible. “We are going to be victorious and our people will be liberated. I thank my people for coming out to express their wishes and I am assuring them that those wishes must be fulfilled, Otti said.

He said further that he thank God forgiving him the opportunity to know the level of rot in the state called Abia state, adding, “In addition to liberating Abia people, I have also added one more thing in my laundering lists of things to do in Abia state, as eradicating the rot that is in this state.

He explained that Abia people came out en mass on the two occasions to perform their civic responsibilities of electing their leader and their leaders.

“You have spoken with one voice, came out to say that you want a change which you demonstrated in your massive votes to us , but unfortunately, those who have held the state down, those who have put the state in the darkness that it has found itself today resorted to their usual tactics of truncating the will of the people .The reality is that you can fool some people sometimes, but you can not fool all the people all the time”, Otti said.

He regretted a situation , where the governor of the state with other PDP big wigs barged into a collation center to put undue pressure on the REC and RO. To make them reverse an already cancelled result of three Local Government areas, emphasizing that the party stands on the fact that those three local government areas still remain cancelled.

He wondered the type of pressure that would have been given to a professor of Medicine that made him to change his mind 45 minutes after pronouncing cancellation, stating that everything will be made open with time. 

Earlier, the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh urged INEC to stick to its first decision of cancelling the three local government areas of Obingwa, Osisioma and Isialangwa Noeth.

He said that APGA, having won 11 , out of 24 members of the House of Assembly has the weight if justice learning on its side.

He said that APGA has rejected the result as announced by INEC and assured Abians that their mandate must be retrieved from PDP.

F--k You: Kris Jenner's First Tweet Following Bruce Jenner Sex Change Interview on Friday

If you watched the much-hyped Bruce Jenner - Diane Sawyer interview on Friday, then you know that Kris Jenner was the only one of Bruce's three ex-wives who didn't offer a comment to ABC News.

There had been rumors of Kris struggling with Bruce Jenner's coming out but it seemed odd that a woman who lives to manipulate the press would have nothing to say about the biggest news surrounding her family since Kim's marriage to Kanye.

Several media outlets pounced on her, and notorious gossip blogger/conniving D-bag Perez Hilton thought he would take the opportunity to call Kris out for her perceived lack of sensitivity.

“Kris Jenner has no comment for ABC news and the #BruceJenner interview. His other two ex-wives give supportive statements,” Perez tweeted during the interview.

 Never one to miss an opportunity to put a hater in his place, Kris quickly shot back:
“@PerezHilton f**k you Perez no one asked me to comment ….and I’m sitting with Bruce now watching this show so let’s keep it real…LOL.”

Never mind the fact that it's now Kris' word against Diane Sawyer's regarding whether or not she was reached for comment, the K-clan momager's to the ever-douchey Perez was flawless in its simplicity.

Obviously, the star of the night was Bruce, and Kim and Kanye came in second and third, but Kris also shined, and proved that despite their many faults, the Kardashian-Jenner family knows how to rally around one another.

Things Ladies Do That Push Men Away

As a lady hoping to be married some day, there are certain things that push that great guy away from you and sometimes these turn-offs go both ways. It is hard to keep a man because of some these few things we do. Read details below:

Drama: This is definitely one of the top things that push men away. Women tend to be involved in more drama than men. It’s true that your boyfriend will be there to listen to you when you’re having issues, but being catty won’t highlight your best qualities. And being overly dramatic about some petty issue, such as why he didn’t call you first, will make him question the relationship. If you are a responsible lady or want to be one, try not to make a huge deal of something that can be easily fixed.

Possessiveness: Do you constantly check up on your boyfriend? If so, you might want to back off a little bit. When guys receive too many "Where are you?" texts, they tend to get annoyed. They don’t want to be in a relationship with their mom. You might think this is just you caring about him, but to him, it will feel like you don’t trust him, or worse, like you are trying to control him.

Playing dumb: Unfortunately, we ladies have all probably done this at some time or other. Truth is that playing dumb will lead you down the wrong path. He might eventually feel like you’re taking advantage of him or that you just aren’t capable of taking care of yourself, let alone you and the kid or kids when they start coming. Good guys believe a smart girl is much more worth keeping at home.

Clingy: A guy has got to have his own space! How much space a guy needs will vary. Some guys think that going out more then twice a month together is clingy, while others think that you never leaving his side is clingy. As a lady, make sure to observe your own man to figure out where he lies on the spectrum! When you give him what he wants, he will really appreciate your understanding and thoughtfulness – and he will try to make the time you do spend together that much more worthwhile.

Living in the past: It’s okay to share your past once you get comfortable with your new guy. Just don’t dwell on it. Not yours, not his, not "ours." Don’t compare him to a fling that you had before, a sugar daddy or ex-boyfriend. And don't compare yourself to anyone in his past – and definitely don’t dwell on a past disagreement that you two had. If you want him in your future, plan today with him.

Dishonesty: We hate being lied to. So why do we do it to a man we love? It doesn’t protect a relationship; in fact, it might destroy it. Communication is key in a relationship, so if you say things that you don’t mean, what’s the point? Try to express yourself and allow your man point out things that he doesn’t understand. Always make an attempt to talk things out. Believe me, it works wonders!

Remember that time you told him you loved that his shirt, even though really, you can't stand it? Well, what are you going to do if he starts wearing it all the time to please you? That is it, you have all the work to do if you want to enjoy your man and have him spend his money you wholeheartedly.

Power struggle: I always cringe when I hear people joking about who wears the pants in a relationship. There’s really no need to do that. Learn to be humble and work well with your man. Your friends are loyal to their own men at home, no matter what they tell you. So don’t be obsessive over who has more power. Love is what you should ask for from your man, not his authority. You can!

Bruce Jenner Receives Praise and Support from Stars Everywhere: Read Their Messages!

The much-hyped Bruce Jenner interview with Diane Sawyer has come and gone. But its impact is likely to be felt for years, if not generations, to come.

The reality star and former Olympic Gold Medalist sat in front of millions of viewers on Friday night and shed some important light on living life as a transgender individual, saying in no uncertain terms:
"For all intents and purposes, I am a woman."

With those words, the Bruce Jenner sex change went from being a punchline to a source of inspiration.

Jenner also opened up how Kim Kardashian was the first family member to know of his female soul, going on to say the following:

• He's not gay. He's never slept with a man.
• He "downplayed" his cross-dressing while married to Kris Jenner, but she knew about it and mostly ignored it.
• He's a "conservative" Republican.
• He wants to be a transgender role model: "I had this feeling, kind of a revelation, that maybe this is my cause in life. This is why God put me on this earth ... to deal with this issue.'
• After being caught last year getting a tracheal shave, he contemplated suicide. Fortunately, he later thought: I can't do something like that. I want to know how this story ends.
• He's taking hormones and he plans on undergoing some other physical changes: "Those are all things that are out there in the future for me to explore. I would do it so quietly, no one in the world would ever know."

In response to these revelations, Twitter blew up last weekend, mostly with heaps of praise from celebrities who admire Jenner's courage to talk about this important cause.

Love is the courage to live the truest, best version of yourself. Bruce is love. I love you Bruce. #‎ProudDaughter.

Xenophobia: South African Govt. Blasts Nigerian Govt. Over Recall Of Her Ambassadors

 
Read the statement released by SA government below;

The South African Government takes note that the outgoing Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has recalled its Acting High Commissioner to South Africa. A government resorts to such an extraordinary diplomatic step to express outrage at actions or Behavior of another government.

We are not sure which actions or behavior of the South African Government the Nigerian Government is protesting. It is only Nigeria that has taken this unfortunate and regrettable step. If this action is based on the incidents of attacks on foreign nationals in some parts of our country, it would be curious for a sisterly country to want to exploit such a painful episode for whatever agenda.

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has just returned from Indonesia to attend the Africa-Asia Summit and the 60th Anniversary of the historic Bandung Conference. At no stage did the Nigerian delegation present at that gathering, expressed its intention to formally raise the issue with the South African side.
South Africa remains committed to a strong bond of friendship and bilateral relations with Nigeria. It is for this reason that when 84 of our citizens perished on Nigerian soil, we did not blame the Nigerian Government for the deaths and more than nine (9) months delay in the repatriation of the bodies of our fallen compatriots, or for the fact that when these bodies eventually returned, they were in a state that they could not be touched or viewed as required by our burial practice.
We will raise our concerns through diplomatic channels with the new administration that will assume office in Nigeria next month.

The South African Government, as well as all political parties, religious organisations, non-governmental organisations, business, sports fraternities, including artists, musicians and ordinary people of South Africa, have been decisive and unequivocal in condemning and rejecting the attacks on foreign nationals.

Through our interventions, relative calm and order has been restored. We are encouraged by the solidarity our country continues to receive from other African countries and the international community. We shall also continue to support and not blame the Nigerian Government as it battles to deal with Boko Haram that continues to kill many innocent civilians. We hope that the more than 200 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram will someday be reunited with their families.
