Miley Cyrus losing it? Kisses Female's Bare Boobs On Stage!!! (VIDEO & PICS)

Seems like it's itching her or something

This girl has gone bonkers!...lol, am trying to feel like i know English very well. But seriously what's wrong with her? I still don't know why everything she does still surprises me. Miley has been setting the bar high on her tour, doing everything from posing with sex toys before locking lips with singer Katy Perry.

Her latest is the 21-year-old provocatively burying her head into performer Ashley 'Amazon Ashley' Adair's breasts.

With the performer's chest already threatening to spill out of her dress, Miley's antics almost left the dancer's chest fully exposed.

When she was done, Miley quickly spun around and grabbed her own crotch. Am not sure what she's waiting for before she stars in a porn movie or releases her sex tape. Am still trying to figure out where she got it wrong...bad company? What do you think?

Comedian AY has revealed in an exclusive chat with Encomium Weekly that he has spent way over N300m to build his MVP Lounge and Restaurant in Lekki. He revealed that the building will be the largest in this part of the world for such a business, and his wife has been in charge of the Interiors. She is giving us designs you can’t find anywhere here, he said.
We learnt you have spent over N300 million on this project? 
The aforementioned amount might turn out to be an understatement when you come to MVP to see what we are putting in place in Lekki, Lagos. A lot has gone in, and even more to come. We are having a world class and premium Restaurant Nightclub Lounge.
How much have gone into this and how much more do you reckon you will spend? 
You might want to interview the accountant of MVP and the contractors in charge of different aspects of the project to get an exact figure
A source also told Encomium Weekly you have investors who are in this with you? MVP, at the moment, has two other directors that are partnering me to make it become what we have designed the place to be. I am sure you would agree with me that is the right way to go in other to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with getting it right in a sustainable society.

What is the equity like? 50/50?
The equity is well defined. But if you are looking at buying into the business we still have a room and a parlour left in the entire compound.

Who is coordinating the designs?
The entire project is being handled by Midas Interiors. Incidentally, the MD/CEO is my wife, Mabel Makun. She has put in place classy designs that you will not find in any nightclub in Nigeria.

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight: Unknown Chinese group claims responsibility for the disappearance

Risman Siregar and Erlina Panjaitan - the parents of passenger Firman Chandra Siregar - are comforted in Medan, Indonesia

Email said: “You kill one of our clan, we will kill 100 of you as payback.”

A previously unknown group - the Chinese Martyrs’ Brigade – has claimed that it was behind the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

An email was sent to various journalists in China, saying: “You kill one of our clan, we will kill 100 of you as payback.”

But officials in Malaysia have said they believe the group's claim could be a hoax.

The email did not explain what had happened to the plane.

Malaysia’s acting transport minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, said today: “There is no sound or credible grounds to justify their claims."

It is reported that the email could be designed to increase ethnic tensions between Uighurs and Han Chinese in the wake of a knife attack in Kunming on March 1 in which 29 people were killed and more than 100 were injured.

Officials said the message was sent through an anonymous Hushmail service that is virtually impossible to trace.

Investigators have also revealed that debris that was believed to be from the plane turned out to be unconnected to the aircraft.

Police are probing a mystery Iranian called “Mr Ali” who bought the tickets for passengers who used stolen passports on the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.

Despite a huge search, there is still no sign of the flight that was carrying 239 people. The Boeing 777-200 went missing over the South China Sea on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.

Desperate relatives are waiting to hear news about their loved ones. One of the passengers has been named as Firman Chandra Siregar, a 24-year-old from Indonesia.

His family - including his parents Risman Siregar and wife Erlina Panjaitan - are being comforted by friends during their ordeal.

PHOTOS: Jonathan Flags off N117b Second Niger Bridge, to be Ready in Four Years

President Goodluck Jonathan  has flagged off the much-awaited second Niger Bridge with apologies to the  people of the South-East and South-South zones for the delay in the construction of the bridge expected to lessen the stress commuters go through using the only bridge across the River Niger. He commended the people for their patience over delays in the construction of the bridge which would cost N117.8 billion.

“My sincere promise during my campaign is today made a reality to the good people of the South-East and South-South,’’ Jonathan said before performing the groundbreaking ceremony in Atani, near Onitsha.

The event marked the end of several flip-flops and procrastination by several government to the relieve of the governors and people of the South East and South-South present at the event.

The dual carriageway bridge, designed to be 1,590m long, is scheduled to be completed in four years by Messrs Julius Berger Construction Company under the Public-Private-Partnership arrangement for a concession period of 25 years.

An elated President Jonathan said the Federal Government was building two important bridges across the two great Rivers in the country – Niger and Benue –for the benefit of Nigerians, assuring that he was fully committed to delivering both projects within the proposed time frame.

He said: “The construction of the second bridge across River Benue is going on smoothly and this one would follow suit immediately from now. This bridge, when completed, would alleviate the movement difficulties of our people and improve commerce and trade of our people, especially congestion witnessed during festive seasons.

“It will not only serve the people of these areas but all Nigerians and the West African sub-region.’’ Jonathan added that “the bridge would be key to the economic development of the South-East and South-South zones.’’

According to him, the Federal Government would contribute 25 per cent of the total cost of the bridge  which amounts to N30 billion.

The President said: “The 2nd Niger Bridge, whose foundation we are laying today, represents a strategic national infrastructure, with great socio-economic prospects for the contiguous states, and indeed, for the entire nation. It is an important economic artery that will connect the great markets of Onitsha and Aba, as well as the industrial hub of Nnewi and beyond, to both the Northern and Southern parts of our country.

“On completion, this bridge, which is being constructed almost 50 years after the existing bridge opened to traffic, will alleviate the pains experienced by travellers as a result of congestion of the old bridge, particularly during festive periods. It will massively improve road transportation in the South-East of Nigeria, and also reduce travel times substantially, in this part of the country.

“This project has been programmed in strict compliance with the Infrastructure Concession and Regulatory Commission Act, and the Public Procurement Act. No stone has been left unturned in ensuring the success of the project, considering the several unsuccessful attempts by past administrations to deliver this vital bridge.

“ The Federal Government is executing this project under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement for a concession period of 25 years, precisely, through a ‘Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT)’ model. We are confident in the capacity and competence of the Concessionaire, Messrs Julius Berger-NSIA Consortium, to deliver on this project, at the construction cost of about N117 Billion Naira”, he told Nigerians.

Jonathan urged the governors of Anambra and Delta through which the bridge would pass, to provide a favourable environment for the construction to ensure its timely completion.

“This bridge and the National Conference, which would be inaugurated by next week, Monday, in Abuja, are two vital components of our national cohesion and unity,’’ he said.

Gov. Theodore Orji of Abia, on behalf of the South-East Governors Forum, thanked God for the president for his vision of always thinking of the welfare and wellbeing of Nigerian.

“Democracy is all about the people; since you have been our president, your major concern is about the people’s welfare. And for this and other things you have done for the South-East, we have to pay you back,’’ he said.

Gov. Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta said that the wish of the South-South people was that Mr President would also inaugurate the bridge in the next four years. Uduaghan promised the safety of the workers and equipment of the construction company.

Gov. Peter Obi of Anambra thanked the president for a promise fulfilled as well as the enviable status accorded Ndi-Igbo.

“Mr President, you have made us proud as Ndi-Igbo and you have made us to be part of the country as well as given a fitting state burial to Chief Chukwuemeka Ojukwu. And we would not fail to thank you for removing the Obi-and-Sons Contractor, who was earlier awarded this project to a competent contractor, who we can trust to do a good job and having the manpower and equipment needed to deliver at set schedule and quality,’’ he noted.

The Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolemenen, said that the ministry in 2013 commenced phase I of the project, including survey, morphodynamics study and soil investigation.

“Let me at this juncture appreciate the Co-ordinating Minister for the Economy and Honourable Minister of Finance for her strong support in this project and for facilitating the World Bank support in the proposed construction of the two by-passes,’’ he said.

The Managing Director of Julius Berger, Mr. Wolfgang Goetsch, said the company was happy to be part of “this historic project’’ and  part of the development of the country within its over 45 years operation in Nigeria. He pledged that the company would meet the project’s schedule and quality; adding: “This bridge is a legacy and we look forward for its early

Woman In Taiwan Charges Her Husband $66 For Sex Because He Parties Too Much

Chen likes to party, probably a little too much. This Taiwanese truck driver often ignored his fiscal responsibility to his family, blowing all of his money at clubs with his friends instead.

Meanwhile, his wife worked full-time but couldn’t shoulder the bills without some contributions from Chen. So, she devised a financial plan of her own, using sex as leverage. For every time the couple slept together, she charged Chen $66 dollars.

This new familial arrangement worked well for a time, but then Chen got fed up with paying his wife for physical pleasures and involved the authorities. Probably not his wisest decision.

Now, Chen is paying $660 a month in legally-required familial support but at least his wife agreed to stop charging him for sex. His wife definitely got what she was looking for, but I wonder if Chen is saving any money under the new deal.

Only time will tell, but at that clip, considering what marriages cost a lot of people, maybe Chen actually had it pretty easy. Others may not pay it directly, but some people hold out sex from their significant others for personal gain. For now, let’s just marvel in this animated telling of the story, courtesy of Tomo News US

Robin Thicke Claims He’s Making Progress In Winning Paula Patton’s Heart Back

Robin Thicke has made significant headway in his campaign to win his wife back, because multiple sources directly connected to the couple tell TMZ … Paula Patton is open to giving him another chance.

We’re told Robin and Paula never stopped communicating. They talk constantly, but she was very clear the day she dumped him … she wanted a DIVORCE.

Our sources say the tone of the conversations have changed, and the 2 of them are now talking about what Robin needs to do to convince Paula that the marriage can work to her satisfaction.

She has not hired a divorce lawyer, we’re told, and has no plans to do so. We’re told their phone conversations have been productive. But here’s what hasn’t been productive … she’s not impressed with Robin’s on-stage pronouncements of love.

She is impressed that Robin has been a good dad since the split, seeing their kid when he can and keeping in touch when he’s on the road.

As for the tone of the conversations … we’re told “smooth and cordial.”

Do you think there is any possibility that this is a publicity stunt? Robin talked Paula off the divorce ledge mighty quickly…

UPDATE: Mario Balotelli Discribed In The Missing Malaysia Airlines

Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: ‘Mario Balotelli’ Lookalikes had Stolen Passports.

Malaysia’s civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman has suggested that the two passengers who were travelling on stolen passports on the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 looked like black Italian footballer Mario Balotelli.

The aviation chief dismissed earlier reports that the two were Asian-looking but refused to elaborate.

“I can confirm that he is not a Malaysian, but cannot divulge which country he is from yet,” he said, hinting that revealing their identity could hinder the investigation.

Asked how the two looked like, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said: “Do you know a footballer by the name of [Mario] Balotelli?”

The bizarre comment triggered puzzled response on Twitter:

He confirmed that the search are is being widened and said all the security procedures were complied with.

The Financial Times has exclusively reported that the Thai travel agency that booked the tickets for the men had been asked to arrange the travel by an Iranian middleman.

The two were travelling from Kuala Lumpur with an Italian and an Austrian passport that had belonging to Luigi Maraldi and Christian Kozel. The passports were included in the stolen list of the Interpol’s database but managed to pass immigration control.

The one-way tickets with those names were issued from a travel agency in Pattaya, eastern Thailand.

The agency made the bookings through a China Southern Airlines office in Bangkok.

2015: Violence will erupt if Jonathan contests; Monarchs are shielding Boko Haram – Bakare

Convener of Save Nigeria Group (GN), Tunde Bakare, has predicted that the Northern part of the country will face serious violence if President Goodluck Jonathan decides to seek re-election for another four-year term in office.

According to him, the Niger Delta militants on the other hand would resume hostilities in the creeks and blow up oil installations if on the other hand the President decides not to contest.

The Senior Pastor of Latter Rain Assembly and running mate to the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Presidential candidate in the 2011 general elections, Muhammadu Buhari, told Daily Independent that the solution to some problems in the country could be addressed at National Conference.

On whether the latest rise in terrorist activities in some North East states could be linked to plans by some elements to frustrate the conference, he said Nigerians in their majority must come together and ensure the success of the conference.

“Anyone can plan evil. But if the majority is still willing and working for this country to move on, we will overcome them. Darkness does not have power to overcome light.

“And don’t let us begin to assume that the increase in tempo of the attacks by Boko Haram is against the national conference. How about the election itself?

“That is why we say let us go to the conference to save ourselves of major unprecedented rage. Because the way it is right now, if President Jonathan decides tomorrow and say ‘I am going to run for election’, the North will boil. If he wins, it is the same, because North has been outside power equation for a long time now.

“Eight years of Obasanjo, four years of Jonathan and in-between, they are just sandwiched two years of late Umaru Yar’Adua.

“So, that could be part of the reason. Especially when the people in the North are feeling deprived and they don’t even know where to direct the attacks. And if Jonathan says ‘I am not contesting’ and the North wins, the boys in the creeks are going to blow all your oil wells. Head they win, tail, you lose,” Bakare noted.

He added: “So, whichever way, we are in trouble. The best solution right now that I can see is that let us go to the conference and let us critically examine these issues and I see God helping us if we can rise from the table of brotherhood, proffer solution to Nigeria’s problems and give a better hope to our people. Hope beyond the scope of human limitations”.

On whether the state of emergency declared in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states by the President has failed to achieve its desired purpose, the cleric said Jonathan should be commended for taking the bold step, as the level of destruction would have been higher.

“If the emergency declaration has not achieved its desired result, it has tempered the gruesome violence you have seen. It could have been worse,” he stated.

“Imagine what could have happened if there was no state of emergency there. The Governor will flee, his cabinet will scatter and the people will flee in different directions.

“So, let us give credit where it is due. Are we seeing what we expect to see? Not yet uhuru, but let us continue and let us all work together.

Bakare further blamed traditional leaders in the affected areas for not doing much to identify the terrorists, saying it is high time Nigerians spoke in unison and collaborate with the authorities to rein in the activities of the sect.

“We should not just blame Mr. President. There are traditional rulers in those domains. Are you telling me they don’t know those operating?

“Don’t those people buy food? Don’t they go to the market? Don’t they live with people? Don’t they have wives and children? Even if they have isolated themselves, they will still have to go to the market to buy things.

“So, what is going on is more than what any one individual can resolve. I think all hands must be on deck. Traditional rulers and everyone who can influence society must do all they can to bring an end to this evil called Boko Haram,” he said.

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight: Six things we know so far

As the search for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 continues with few clues, we look at what we know for certain.

We have now entered the third day of the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 - the passenger jet which appeared to vanish without trace on Friday night.

The plane - a Boeing 777-200ER - lost contact with ground control about an hour into its flight from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Beijing in China, disappearing from all detection systems in clear weather, and with no distress signal.

There were 239 people on board, including 12 crew, but no trace of the aircraft or its passengers have yet been found.

Nine countries are currently involved in the search effort, which is covering thousands of square kilometres of sea, but many questions remain unanswered.

Here we take a look at what we do know so far.

1. Last contact

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 takes off on Saturday at 12.21am (14:21 GMT Friday) from Kuala Lumpur, headed for Beijing where it was due to land at 6.30am (22:30 GMT Friday) the same day. It had 227 and 12 crew on board.

But it lost contact with ground control between one and two hours into the flight - around 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysian town Kota Bharu.

The plane's pilots sent no distress signal, and the weather was clear at the time. It would have been travelling at an altitude of 35,000ft at the time

2. Mystery passengers

As mentioned, there were 227 passengers on board, made up of 154 people from China and Taiwain, 38 Malaysians, seven Indonesians, six Australians, five Indians, four French and three Americans.

But we learned on Saturday, two of those on the passenger manifest - Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi - who were not on the plane.

Both had their passports stolen in Thailand during the past two years, and investigators are now trying to establish who was travelling in their place.

Crime agency Interpol has also said its investigations showed there could have been other people with "suspect passports", and is working to find our more about them.

And Malaysian authorities say they are investigating up to four people who they believe could have been travelling with dodgy documents, and have called in the FBI for support.

3. Route change

On Sunday, it was revealed that radar records indicated the flight may gave turned back from its scheduled route before disappearing.

This led the search operation to be widened, with teams looking on both sides of the Malaysian peninsula.

Wide search: Teams are looking on both sides of Malaysia

4. No debris found

Despite reports of oil slicks and debris being spotted in the sea by search teams, investigators say nothing has yet been found that can be linked to the plane.

A Vietnamese plane spotted a "yellow floating object" earlier today that it was thought could have been a life raft. But after helicopters and boats were scrambled to the area of sea south of Vietnam, they found the floating debris was not linked to the plane.

There have also been sightings of several oil slicks in the sea. But again, tests revealed it was not jet fuel. It's thought it was probably from a ship.

5. Terrorism is a possibility

Authorities say they are looking at all possibilities for what has happened to MH370, but they have not ruled out a hijacking as a cause of the disappearance.

Malaysia's civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the fate of the craft was an "unprecedented mystery", and the families of the passengers had been told to prepare for the worst.

But he said they were as baffled by the vanishing plane as the rest of the world.

6. The search will go on

But while many questions remain unanswered, Mr Rahman said they would continue searching until they found them.

He said the search would "take as long as it takes".

"We are every hour, every second looking at ever area of the sea".

The rescue effort is being supported by teams from Australia, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, New Zealand and the US.
