jerk: Diamonds" by Rihanna: In an interview with the New York Times, Sia (whose full name is Sia Furler) revealed that she wrote "Diamonds" in just 14 minutes. The song went on to top the Billboard Hot 100.

"Pretty Hurts" by Beyonce: Queen Bey's latest single could have been a Katy Perry song. According to Sia's interview with the NYT, she had originally written "Pretty Hurts" for Perry, but Perry missed her email! The song later went to Rihanna before Beyonce got wind of the track and snapped up the rights to it. After Bey's version gained some traction, Perry sent Sia a text that read: "I'm pretty hurt you never sent me this song." Sia's response? "Check your email."

"Cannonball" by Lea Michele: Sia sat down with Michele shortly after the Glee star lost her boyfriend, Cory Monteith, and ultimately wrote two songs for Michele’s debut album (the second is "If You Say So". "I just felt that 'Cannonball' was the perfect first song for people to hear from this record," Michele told MTV News. "It just really explains where I am right now and it’s been such an inspirational song for me. It's been such a rock, such a source of strength for me." Sia shares writing credit with Benny Blanco on the song.

"Perfume" by Britney Spears: Spears co-wrote her latest hit with Sia. "I fell in love with the way she looks at life," Spears said of Sia. "There is a bit of darkness somewhere in there, but it doesn't come across in a frightening way." "Let Me Love You" by Ne-Yo: "'Let Me Love You' is that song means a lot to me. That's one of the very few co-writes I’ve ever done," Ne-Yo said in an interview last year. "It was an opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone for a minute and just really try something new in regards to working with other writers." And yes, he’s definitely a Sia fan. "Her mastery of melody, from just the way that she works, her words and phrases, it's been incredible. And people are just now catching on! Y'all are late; everybody's late. It's been that way."

"Sexercise" by Kylie Minogue: "Sia is executive producer with me, which is amazing and a little dream come true, and there was a certain point on the album where we had countless songs, and she said, 'we need some sex on there...we need a hot song,'" Minogue told Spotify of her latest album, Kiss Me Once. "Next thing I know there's 'Sexy Love', 'Sexercise' and 'Les Sex'! And even looking at the album titles, trying to figure out what makes it on the album, I thought 'I can't really do that', and then I thought 'yeah, I really have to do that because they're all really great songs'. And I couldn't call them anything else, because that's what they are."

"Radioactive" by Rita Ora: Sia shared Ora's video on her Facebook page back in 2012, writing that she was "so proud" of the track and declaring: "Rita Ora SMASHES the vocal!" Sia shares a co-writing credit with producer Greg Kurstin on the track. It went on to be a global hit.

Pectoris: Mine (11g) had this exact problem too, searched for help everywhere on the internet to no avail, upgraded, downgraded, the problem still existed so I decided to uncouple it to see if there was any connection problem (I don't have any idea about electronic repairs) . I unscrewed it and opened it up and touched one wire or d other with d screw driver while d decoder was switched on (it was running on UPS to avoid electric shock), I cleaned d inside panel with spirit and the problem was solved. Till today I can't say what exactly was the problem, but I was able to fix it by just cleaning and touching some connections. Warning/Disclaimer: Do not open it if u don't know what to do, you might damage ur decoder, I took the risk, I was ready for any outcome. And be careful of electric shock.

lekkie073: I could remember vividly the principal of the school I served in awka-etiti begging me to prepare examination solutions for her students those days. I was like .......wtf!

maasoap: People like me back then were saying no to privatisation of PHCN but we were called different names by Jonathanians. Privatisation of public assets in Nigeria mean two things: those who want to privatise it have interests in the assets, then exploitation will be order of the day. Imagine the power investors making between N500 and N1500 monthly in the name of Fixed Charge. It means even if they are generating zero energy every month, they will still be generating revenue. Fresh air, enjoy while it lasts.

nanizle: I thought pastor chris said masturbation is not a sin??

trae_z: In continuation of "Pouting - The New Photo Posing Trend" how about face turns?

Girls of nowadays just can't take a picture smiling and looking straight (like the guy in the pic below). Coupled with the stupid peace sign at every opportunity that sh**t is so damn annoying!

Front page please.

feflo: Introducing the world’s smallest inverter, it’s so small that six of it will enter a normal laptop bag
i.e. the 1000W and yet so powerful. You don’t need a deep cycle battery and bogus rewiring of the house, it’s more like plug and play. Just connect the output to any socket in your house and it’s good to go.
A 1000W using a fully charged 75AH car battery will power
1. 32’ LCD TV
2. 2 Ceiling fans
3. Home Theater
Simultaneously for 6-7hrs and the same battery can still be used to start your car the next day. It will last way longer if you use bigger battery.
It comes with a smart pulse charger that will not only charge your battery but also repair the damaged cells of the battery. The 8000W will power 2 to 3 Air conditioners with other loads.

dubem3: You must know first of all that no man just wakes up walks up to any lady and proposes to her.
Haven said that, marriage is the peak of any relationship between a man and a woman. If you turn down my proposal for marriage, what exactly are we supposed to be doing together? Playing soccer?
Did I perceive you think of asking her again? Jeeeez!!! Have you lost your mind? That single No has sent more messages to my head in a split second than all the lessons I've learnt my entire life.
Oh! I have a big ego? Let it be.
I will not get angry, I will leave downcast like a defeated man knowing how much time and resources I have wasted on a....
I will not call the man that gets angry foolish either. Its called emotions. I'll just ask him to hold himself together and try elsewhere.
SHIT HAPPENS
