Add statement light   Just because your dining room is on the cozier side doesn't mean you have to skip on a bold sconce. This gold globe pendant makes a statement flying solo — and would look just as good as a trio over a larger dining room table or island. Start with black and white as your base The always-in-style combo acts as a great starting palette. From there, pop in playful accents like green and yellow Take it outside.

Victoria Beckham gets attacked over her claim that she "designed" a Range Rover for husband David by the man who really designed it

Image
Victoria Beckham has been called out by the design director at Land Rover after she claimed she designed a special edition of the Range Rover for her husband David Beckham. At the launch of a special VB Evoque, the former Spice Girl claimed: "I’ve designed a car that I want to drive, a car I think David wants to drive." This claim incensed Gerry McGovern, the real designer, and he addressed it at a public event last week. He accused Victoria of exaggerating the part she played in creating the car.  He said: "She didn’t design the car… I’ve forgotten more than that woman will ever know about (car) designing – to be a car designer takes years.  When we went to China to present it, she stood up in front of the world’s press and said, 'When I designed this car…' I said, 'Victoria, that wasn’t on the script.' She said, 'Oh, I didn’t realise what I was saying.' " McGovern's annoyance goes back to a time in 2012 when Victoria Beckh...

Why Cristiano Ronaldo is hated by many and loved by more

Image
By Michael Hlophe, in South Africa Special to USAfrica multimedia networks (Houston) and USAfricaonline.com @USAfricaLive Hated by many, loved by more, but respected by all. This is normally the case for all the individuals that perform at the highest level. I have always felt that CR7 has had to prove himself more than most athletes. He is on fire as an exceptional athlete, but gets burnt by haters more often than not. Any individuals that feel that he deserves no respect should google his accolades and use YouTube as a reference of his abilities. Football lovers are aware that Ronaldo is a goal scoring machine and the most influential player for Portugal and Real Madrid. The same could be said about him in his time as a Manchester Uniteed footballer. He has won everything there is to win (except for a FIFA World Cup gold medal) at club and national level. He is labeled selfish when he outscores his counterparts such as Lionel Messi. When the likes of Luis Suarez outscor...

Over The Counter (OTC) Drugs The New Craze Among Youths - Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, Former DG NDLEA

Image
When we watch foreign movies and television shows and see young people abroad using hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, we can’t help but be grateful that our children are not gone that way. Despite being labeled as one of the top drug peddlers across the world, Nigeria remains one of the lowest when it comes to cocaine and heroin usage. The common argument is that these drugs are too expensive and far away from our youths’ reach. Also, we believe that our strict moral and religious teachings have kept our youths safe from drugs and only a few ‘wayward’ kids and transport operators are into the habit. This, according to new reports, is a wrong notion. We are quick to equate hard drugs with cocaine and heroin. Meanwhile, your child may be high on hard drugs right now without you knowing it, yet they appear not to have ever touched any of those drugs. The former Director General, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, pointed out that “40 per cent of our y...

The aircraft, which is worth £230 million, is on display at the London airport as part of the launch  of bespoke travel packages by Deer Jet.

Image
In a not-too distant future, the story of the modern Lagos city would be told and whoever history ascribes the honour to, his oration wouldn’t be complete without giving credit to the contribution of a number of Lagosians who played a part in developing the masterplan.
