FASHION DESK: 5 WAYS TO WEAR STRIPES

Stripes are very fashionable right now and I'm gonna show 5 ways you can rock them. Stripes can be in any color and it can be vertical, diagonal, chevron stripes in different width.  Bear in mind that, the rule to rocking stripes is to pair it with plain colored accessories. You can also wear striped accessories such as earrings, bangles, shoes but they must be worn with plain outfits; you don't want to look like you've just escaped from the zoo, lol.

It's also important to know that vertical stripes make you appear taller while horizontal stripes will make you appear wider.

1. Stripe with other pattern
    
   I bet you didn't know pin stripes and ankara wouldn't clash, hehe. The secret to successfully matching a striped top with other pattern bottoms or colors is to make sure they are both of the same hue. The blend goes better and gives you a great overall look that doesn’t seem mismatched. Check out more ways to rock the striped look after the cut...

RDB READER: AT WHAT AGE SHOULD I ALLOW MY CHILD HAVE GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND?

This is from a RDB reader:

I'm a married woman with two kids; a boy who is 14 years and a girl who is 11 years. My son recently had a female friend over to the house and when I inquired as to who she was, he told me she was just a classmate. A few weeks later and the same girl visits again, this time they chatted for a longer period than they did the first time. I don't want to ask my son about it again so I don't send a message that I don't trust or believe him. Should I be worried? At what age is it ok for a child to be allowed to have a girlfriend?

Pls share your thoughts and advise this woman. Thanks.

Suddenly, a shirtless man appeared to the side in the couple's window. He tried to escape by using a rope he made from knotted t-shirts and bravely began to climb down.

MORE THAN 2,000 PEOPLE FLEE BORNO TO NIGER REPUBLIC

The ongoing military operations in Borno State has forced more than 2,000 Nigerians living in border villages to flee to the neigbouring Niger Republic, making them refugees in Difa, Niger Republic. Also, residents of Maiduguri, which is also one of the States in which the President declared a state of emergency, and other communities far from the border, who did not want to be caught in the cross-fire between the military and the Boko Haram sect, have also fled to some neighbouring states, including Kano and Bauchi.

The state of emergency seems to be yeilding results because according to the Director of Defence Information, Defence Headquarters, Brig.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, a total of 20 terrorists were apprehended as they fled. The military also said 10 Boko Haram members were killed, while 65 others were arrested during encounters with the terrorists on Friday. I sincerely hope peace will be restored to the North and Nigeria as a whole.

EVA LONGORIA SUFFERS WARDROBE MALFUNCTION AS SHE EXPOSES HER V-JAY-JAY ON THE RED CARPET (PHOTO)

Former Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria suffered a very embarrassing wardrobe malfunction yesterday at Cannes Film Festival. Arriving in a beautiful light green gown, the 38-year-old actress lifted her dress while she was trying to ascend a flight of stairs to avoid getting it wet in the puddles caused by a drizzle of rain when the wardrobe function occurred. She apparently pulled too high exposing herself with no underwear on. 

Why is it so hard for these celebs to put on an underwear? This keeps happening to a lot of them yet they never learn. I'm beginning to believe it's not so 'accidental' but done on purpose for the sake of publicity. See the unedited pics after the cut...
