Words by Banke Meshida-Lawal Just before starting Funkes makeup the other day, I asked "Why are your Lower eyelashes so long?!!!!! And this Hair too, why?!!!! She looked at me apologetically and mumbled "I don't know o" I burst out laughing and said "Funke,chill! I'm not scolding you in fact I'm in Awe!" We both started laughing and she said "Ahn ahn the way you attacked me ehn, I had to be sorry or something" Too much makeup doesn't flatter Her but strategic product placement is what I strive for when working on Funke.

100%Mink Eyelashes is also a personal favorite for her top lashline.

They don't come cheap so I reserve them only for people in the know and she is definitely one! A fashionable and stylish one to watch, she effortlessly stuns in her ensembles.

Her love for BMPRO longlasting lip glosses has also made me love her more as she gushes about how great they are to wear alone and instantly add glam to any look.

The drunk Knight leaves hilarious note for drunk man found passed out in car



While passed out over his steering wheel, some saintly stranger took it upon themselves to hide this drunk man's car keys, leave him with a bottle of water and an anonymous note.

The note said: "I found you passed out drunk with your car running, so I hid your keys under the atlas in your back seat.

I hope you get home safe.

I’m not your hero.

I’m your silent guardian.

A watchful protector.

The drunk knight."

It is unclear what happened to the drunk man, found somewhere in Massachusetts, but the image was posted on Reddit by the "drunk knight".

He also added: "I found this guy passed out drunk with his car running outside of a bar at 3.00am.

"The bars close at midnight where I am, so I tried to wake him up, but he just kept mumbling and continued to sleep.

"I decided to hide his keys in the backseat, just in case a cop came, and left him a note and some water.

Despite his act of kindness the poster still came under fire on reddit for not reporting the man to the authorities for attempting to drive.

You go to jail or you get pepper sprayed- Judge tells Defendant



The victim Franz Waltz was followed by Diamond Gaston into Burger King where she sprayed him with pepper spray and ran away, this whole incident was caught on camera.

Franz said:“It hurt. It burned.

It stung.

It was scary at first because I didn’t think I was gonna get my eyesight back,” said worker Frantz Waltz. A woman who pepper sprayed a Burger King worker faced a judge known for his unusual sentences on Thursday.

Painesville Judge Michael Cicconetti warned Diamond Gaston, who was charged with assault: “You understand that this is a criminal offense, an assault.

I could put you in jail for six months.” Known for his creative sentencing, he gave Gaston a choice of 30 days in prison, or get pepper sprayed like her victim.

He gave the Diamond the option of spending 30 days in jail or getting pepper sprayed, she chose to go to jail for 30days.

Then he asked her if she wanted a moment to think about it and she agreed, she walked out of the courtroom then came back and agreed to be pepper sprayed.

They gave the burger King victim a pepper spray can to spray on Ms Gaston eyes, he sprayed it but she didn't really feel the pain because they filled the can with water instead of pepper spray.

Ms Gaston didn't have any criminal record so the judge gave her a warning and 3 days of community service.

She apologized to the victim.

The victim said he would have liked it if there was real pepper in the spray for an eye for an eye situation.

However, he said thought the judge was fair

Presidential spokesperson speaks on why Pres. Buhari hasn't moved into Aso Rock days after swearing in



Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, Shehu Garba says ongoing cleaning and refurbishment has prevented President Buhari to move into his official residence in Asovilla days after he was sworn in as President.

"As far as the President is concerned, the place (his official residence) is not ready yet.

Workers are cleaning and refurbishing the place.

Once the exercise is completed, the President will move in.”he said Meanwhile there are reports that staff of Asovilla, particularly security officers, are currently in a state of confusion as to what their job schedule will be like this week as President Buhari has not appointed some key positions in his cabinet, one of which is the Chief of Staff who plans his daily schedule.

One of the workers in the Presidency who spoke on condition of anonymity said "As we are talking now, we do not know his (the President’s) activities for tomorrow (today).

We cannot plan for his activities.

We do not know which groups he will be meeting or how many people he will be meeting.

It is when we have an idea of those who he will be meeting that we can schedule them regarding allocation of time and venue.

These would have been easier for us if a Chief of Staff is in place.

For now, we are waiting for the two big men (President and Vice President) to move into the Villa so that we can do our jobs.

For now, we are only securing the seat of power without the men of power,” he said.

I love you Stella Damasus and I want you to stay with me forever- Daniel Ademinokan says



Filmmaker and actress Stella Damasus' man, Daniel Ademinokan, this night expressed his undying love for her while presenting a show 'Jazzedup' on i2radio, saying he wants her to stay with him forever.

While appreciating some important persons in his life, Daniel saved the best for last as he took out time to cap his list of appreciation on his love interest and mother of two, Stella Damasus.

What he said below "I am so excited to dedicate this song to one person who has been a rock.

Sometimes God just aligns things to happen at the right time.

Stella Damasus, you are an amazing person and I appreciate you so much.

The kind of mind you have, the way you think.

It’s different and I’ll probably never meet anyone like you.

People don’t know the truth about how we got together.

I appreciate you so much and you are a very blessed person.

There is something special about you.

I have always said to you that the enemy will not attack you if you aren’t special.

You have been a source of encouragement to me.

You have changed a lot of things in my life.

The way we came together is even a mystery to us.

The world may know a lot of crazy things about you but I know who you really are.

Thank you for loving me for who I am.

We cannot show the whole world everything but you and I have conquered so much in a short time.

I would not have been able to achieve a lot of the thing I have if I wasn’t with the right person.

You are an actress, singer, writer, teacher, philanthropist, is there anything you can’t do?

I love you very much and I'm dedicating this song to you because I want you to stay with me forever.”he said

Shocked passenger snaps airport worker using tape on plane engine just moments before take-of



A shocked passenger took this photo of an airport worker sticking tape onto the engine of an easyJet plane just moments before take off and shared it on Twitter on Friday May 29th.

The twitter user @adtom posted it and wrote "Always worrying when easyJet are duct taping the plane together :- s #finaldestination"

But contrary to popular belief, it is not duct tape, the Daily Mail reports.

The silver sticky strip is believed to be speed tape, widely used in the aviation industry to carry out quick repairs on flights so as to avoid delays.

EasyJet was quick to respond to the concerned passenger on Twitter, posting: "Hi Adam, Please be reassured that the duct tape is in place as a result of some cosmetic work that is required to the aircraft paintwork.

It is nothing structural and in no way compromises the safety of the aircraft."

He took it in good humour, replying: "Phew because we've taken off and I forgot to pack my parachute lol"

British mum spends £20k on a new designer outfit for every one of her children's first 100 days



Are these Britain's most pampered twins? Louise Hill, 36, and her husband Dan, 33, who appears on TV's Storage Hunters UK, say they want the best for their twins Isabella and Jacob having spent a long time trying to conceive through IVF.

The three- month-old tots never wear the same clothes twice and instead go through smart gear from the likes of Prada, Dior, Chloe and Ralph Lauren.

Dan, 33, told MailOnline: 'I'm known as Dapper Dan on Storage Hunters because I like wearing designer suits, so our twins are a reflection of us really.

We wouldn't go out of the house looking scruffy so neither should our children.

It's not just for the first 100 days we said we'd buy them designer clothes that's just where we are up to so far.

We'll probably keep taking pictures of them in the new outfits every day up until they're at least one but we'll always buy them designer clothes.'
