HOT!!! ; PHOTOS FROM BRAZILS Miss Bum Bum Contest

This year's Miss Bumbum Brazil contest has sparked outrage among Christians after the contestants posed for 'the Last Supper' photo in reference to Jesus Christ's last supper with his disciples before he was crucified.

In the outrageous photo, the contestants all wearing lingerie pose on top the 'supper' table and the contestant with the sexiest bum poses in the center as 'Jesus'.

 
Religious leaders branded the remake of the Da Vinci masterpiece "deeply disrespectful" and even Brazil's religious intolerance commission condemned the picture.
One of the contestants said she regretted posing for the shot and said she had "asked forgiveness from God for a great sin".
Daiana Fegueredo, representing the state of Ceara and chosen to play the role of  'Jesus', said:
 "I did the photo because of my contract. But I didn't like it and I wasn't happy about it. You can't play around with the word of God."I completely understand people being angry about it, because even I'm angry and I'm in it. For me it is blasphemy.
"I feel really bad deep inside of me. I'm a practising Catholic. Since I did the photo my heart is tight inside my chest, I can't sleep and I don't stop thinking about it. I've already asked forgiveness from God, and I ask forgiveness from everyone else. We went too far. We were part of a great sin."
Father Clesio Vieira, from the Volta Redonda diocese of Rio de Janeiro, said:
"Everyone's talking about it. It has broken the boundaries of ethics and respect, all in the name of money. This isn't creativity, it's the vulgarisation of the sacred and is deeply disrespectful."

Fashion trends we definitely do not miss in Nigeria


10 fashion trends we definitely do not miss in Nigeria


It is interesting going through old pictures in order to see one’s transformation over the years. We would try not to be mean by bringing out old pictures of some known faces in order to see how much they have changed. Instead, we would be looking at the fashion trends that were in vogue then.
These trends after all contributed to the oddness of the old pictures that would be produced if we were to check. In truth, there were some things we considered as the ‘reigning things’ then. Everyone wanted to use them.

There were some clothes that were in vogue, hairstyles you would not want to miss doing and ladies rocked a particular style of dressing then. Remember the era of tying tops? Yeah, we would be taking you through that phase again. Even some songs are tagged oldies and the youths of our time would laugh out loud when they hear some of these songs.

Going down memory lane, we really cannot help laughing at our sense of fashion then, no one saw anything wrong with doing those things. However, there are some of the fashion trends that we would be glad to see dead. Actually some of them are dead already.

Find some of these dead fashion trends below:

1. My money grows like grass





Seriously this top rocked Nigeria like crazy! Every tom, dick and harry wore this. It got to a point it was irritating seeing the shirt everywhere. it was difficult telling the original from the fake. You can be sure that you would see at least fifty people in a day rocking theirs. The saddest part is a majority of these people would be looking dirty and unkempt. You would now be left wondering what money they are talking about in the first place.

2. Ama kip kip










What are they ‘kipping’? Mscheeeew. This is another shirt we do not want to see again. There were different colors and the big boys rocked it like mad. The shirt lost its value the moment it became a common wear. You would see it in the bend down boutiques; the annoying part was people did not care whether it was common then, everyone just wanted to have one. We are sure yours is still in the wardrobe. If you are sure of yourself wear it out and tag us.

3. Alobam shirt by Phyno





Do you remember this Alobam shirt? It was the reigning thing then. Many Nigerians rocked it like they did not have any other cloth apart from it. This happened to be some people’s best cloth then.

4. Remember this buckle for belts?




Most men used belts that have this kind of head. They did not just rock it quietly, they had a way of showing off with it. The times they wore shirts thatk are longer, they found ways of lifting the shirts in order to flaunt the buckle. They did this most times.

5. Studded belts



If you were in a relationship with some happening guy back then, this is most likely to be the belt he used then. This belt was so common back then that we do not miss it now that men have found other alternatives. The annoying part is this belt is starting to make its way into the market again. The devil is a liar.

6. Carrot jeans



We definitely do not miss this jeans. We are sure you still have one you use in the house.

7. The Arab scarves



We are sure you are familiar with this scarf. Nigerians can do copy copy sha; even when they wear shirts and have dressed for official engagements, they would wrap this around their necks the Arabian way. However, they managed to spoil the beauty of these scarves by making the style annoying.

8. This rubber slippers and shoes



This type of rubber shoes and slippers with fanciful ribbons on it was common some years back in Nigeria. Every lady had it and the streets were made more colorful with them. We are sure you do not miss this slippers.

9. That era of shambala



Finally, the crave for this thing is gone. Nigerian girls would always find a way of begging you for your Shambala.

10. The N100 rosary


There was a time rosaries were trending in Nigeria. Most people put them round their necks and tie them round their wrists. These rosaries have pictures of their own Jesus looking like an Arab.



NAIJA!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............we no dey carry last!!!

AGBADA IN NIGERIA

Agbada is a four-piece male attire found among the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria and the Republic of Benin, West Africa. It consists of a large, free-flowing outer robe (awosoke), an undervest (awotele), a pair of long trousers (sokoto), and a hat (fìla). The outer robe-from which the entire outfit derives the name agbada, meaning "voluminous attire"-is a big, loose-fitting, ankle-length garment. It has three sections: a rectangular centerpiece, flanked by wide sleeves. The centerpiece-usually covered front and back with elaborate embroidery-has a neck hole (orun) and big pocket (apo) on the left side. The density and extent of the embroidery vary considerably, depending on how much a patron can afford. There are two types of undervest: the buba, a loose, round-neck shirt with elbow-length sleeves; and dansiki, a loose, round-neck, sleeveless smock. The Yoruba trousers, all of which have a drawstring for securing them around the waist, come in a variety of shapes and lengths. The two most popular trousers for the agbada are sooro, a close-fitting, ankle-length, and narrow-bottomed piece; and kembe, a loose, wide-bottomed one that reaches slightly below the knee, but not as far as the ankle. Different types of hats may be worn to complement the agbada; the most popular, gobi, is cylindrical in form, measuring between nine and ten inches long. When worn, it may be compressed and shaped forward, sideways, or backward. Literally meaning "the dog-eared one," the abetiaja has a crestlike shape and derives its name from its hanging flaps that may be used to cover the ears in cold weather. Otherwise, the two flaps are turned upward in normal wear. The labankada is a bigger version of the abetiaja, and is worn in such a way as to reveal the contrasting color of the cloth used as underlay for the flaps. Some fashionable men may add an accessory to the agbada outfit in the form of a wraparound (ibora). A shoe or sandal (bata) may be worn to complete the outfit.
