Check Out Japan Crying Baby Contest. See Photos

Image
Different people, Different Cultures! So there is a Crying Baby Contest (Naki Sumo) that holds in Japan every year. This year, the competition held at the Shinto shrine in Yokohama, near Tokyo on Monday July 17th. The contest pairs up little toddlers with sumo wrestlers who will attempt to get the babies to cry. The toddler who cries the longest and loudest is crowned the winner. As bizarre as it may be, the crying baby contest has been practised by Japenese indigenes for well over 400 years. Japanese parents voluntarily bring their babies to the contest, and truly believe that sumo-induced crying keeps their children in good health.

Davido shows off his new mansion

Image
Singer Davido is definitely living up to his 30 billion in his account claim. In a recent post on Instagram, the Omo Baba Olowo showed off his new crib and from the looks of it, he is super proud of his latest achievement. Trust his fans to hail him. At age 25, Davido, in monetary success, has gained more than millions of Nigerians far older than he his. The singer who never fails to rhyme about his material wealth left a lot of fans wishing to be him after he showed the gorgeous house he built with his own money. Many say Davido is the master of cockiness, however his behaviour is justified. At least with the house news he dropped on the internet, it is safe to say he puts his money where his mouth is. But money is not all Davido is good for, the singer is currently on tour and has been shutting every city he steps into down. We guess having a weighty bank account and being a master singer is the only way to truly live like Davido. Source NAIJ.COM
