The shocking way Nepalese children risk their lives using a cable to cross a river Posted: 22 Feb 2016 12:36 PM PST Children in Dhaing Village, Nepal have to pull themselves across this terrifying cable bridge every day in order to get themselves to and from class. Not only children but also adults who have no choice. It is a lifeline for the residents, who face danger every day in order to go shopping for basic amenities or meet friends and family who live on the other side of the Trishuli River. The villagers have to sit in either a basic loop of fabric or a small ramshackle wooden crate and operate the flimsy cable by hand. Crossers have lost fingers operating these cables, while in 2010, five people fell into the Trishuli River after a cable snapped & passed away. Nepal's Prime Minister KP Oli recently announced a plan to replace the dangerous cable crossings with suspension bridges in the surrounding area but in the meantime Dhaing residents have no choice but to continue transportating themselves using these ropes. |

Mayor accidentally shares screenshot of porn sites he visited Posted: 22 Feb 2016 12:00 PM PST Mayor Thomas Koppl of Quickborn, Germany, posted a screengrab of the German constitution to back up arguments he was making about the Alternative for Germany party, he was probably too excited making his point he missed glaring 'errors' in the picture. The screen grab he posted included tabs of porn sites he had visited which include, 'Punishment Porn Videos', 'BDSM porno videos', 'German slut punished', 'HAMSTERS Gratis porn'. As is characteristic of politicians, he initially denied taking the pic saying someone else had taken the screenshot but eventually admitted that it was in fact him. Köppl claims he first heard about BDSM when overhearing a conversation on a ski-lift in South Tyrol, where he is currently on holiday, and was simply researching it. 'I wasn't so up-to-date about that, which annoys me. They were mentioning the site 'Xhamster', and when I got to my room I wanted to get clued-up.' But he claims the fetish is not for him, adding: 'I'm sure people who like it can have a lot of fun with BDSM. I find it rather disturbing. I have a problem with violence in general.' One internet user however seemed to support him saying, 'Any man who claims never to have visited a porn site is a liar or has a problem with his sexuality.' |

I'll not resign as PDP chair- Ali-Modu Sheriff, insists he has nothing to do with Boko Haram Posted: 22 Feb 2016 11:45 AM PST Embattled Chairman of PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff, says he will not be resigning from his position as the party's Chairman despite the public outcry by some members since his appointment. Sheriff stated this at the PDP secretariat in Abuja shortly after he officially took over the party leadership. "I won't resigned because the leadership of the party, in their wisdom, chose me to lead the PDP for the purpose of rebuilding and repositioning the party at this critical period,"he said. Reacting to allegations that he is a sponsor of the Insurgency group, Boko Haram, Sheriff said "Boko Haram killed my own brother. They killed members of my family, so why should I sponsor people to kill my own brother, my own family. I am not a fanatic. I love to enjoy my life. Boko Haram are criminals who live in the bush and eat once a day. I believe their sponsors will be caught at the end of the day. I have nothing to do with Boko Haram," he said. He singled out a former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, among the people linking him with the terror sect, saying "this time around, people like Fani-Kayode will not go scot free." |

Keep lying to yourselves thinking your dark asses look better. 'Dont even come at me with the "all white features were first started by blacks". Even if that was true, WHERE THEY AT THO? Keep projecting your jealousy on white women though, Id rather be a cracker with injections than look like the majority of you oily yet ashy at the same time people. 'Acting like you don't bleach your skins, get nosejobs, get contacts, and dye your hair blonde.' [sic] One likened the 23-year-old model's pout to 'fish lips', while another wrote 'Holy s*** I thought this was Jay Z.'
