President George Weah conferred honorary Doctorate degree



Cuttington University College in Suakoko, Bong County, Liberia, Friday conferred a honorary Doctorate Degree on President George Manneh Weah for his good work since assuming the presidency of Liberia. Delivering the commencement speech on the university’s main campus, President Weah told graduates that patience and perseverance are essential to overcoming the challenges of life and achieving success in any endeavor.
President Weah said people fail in life not because they are not good or up to the task, but because they lack the patience to continue.
Alluding to his past experiences, the Liberian leader said in his keynote address at the 57th Commencement on Friday that he became a better person by making his past experiences his lesson.
 He gave a vivid description of what ought to be a clear-cut solution to achieving success as well as overcoming life’s challenges.
  "Dream big, work hard, learn from their failures and persevere so as to be successful in life," he added.
Describing the graduates as leaders and decision-makers of Liberia, Weah emphasized that “he does not take speaking to Liberian future leaders lightly.”
He indicated that life will produce challenges and obstacles along the way, but noted that consistency in pursuing goals remains cardinal to overcoming these challenges, adding, “you cannot expect to get extraordinary results from ordinary efforts.”

The historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continued midday Tuesday, as the leaders satisfied their appetites while holding negotiations with a contingent of advisers over a working lunch. The lunch, which followed a 45-minute one-on-one meeting between the leaders earlier in the morning and bilateral discussion with senior aides, was held at the Capella Hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island. It was far from an intimate affair, with each leader accompanied by a bevy of senior staff, according to the White House. Joining Trump were Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Chief of Staff John Kelly, National Security Advisor John Bolton, U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Deputy Assistant to the President for Asian Affairs Matthew Pottinger.

Snapchat Slammed for Domestic Violence Meme Featuring Rihanna and Chris Brown

If Kylie Jenner ‘s stock-plummeting Snapchat rant didn’t make you delete the app, maybe this will. Over the weekend, Snapchat found itself in hot water after a now-deleted domestic violence meme featuring Rihanna and Chris Brown went viral. The meme, which was an advertisement for the app “Would You Rather,” asked users whether they would prefer to “slap Rihanna” or “punch Chris Brown.” Almost immediately, screenshots of the ad appeared on Twitter, with many criticizing Snapchat for making light of domestic violence.
