Cossy Orjiakor went bra less....
"I just decided to look for a costume in my closet, just anything that appealed to me. It is an old school cloth. I have never worn it out of the house. I just decided to shock my fans with it. I really don't care what people are saying about me. I just do what I am comfortable doing. I wore what I love. At times, I am tempted to show off my nipples because they are cute but I know I can never do that" Cossy told Encomium magazine

10 country songs that will make you cry
From the end of a relationship to the end of childhood, the stars of country music are masters at the art of making songs out of everyday sadness
Joan Osborne - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
Osborne's lilting vocals add an extra touch of melancholy to her cover of this classic Dolly Parton track. Originally released in 1982 as one of three singles from Parton's cheerfully-titled album, Heartbreak Express, Osborne's version appeared on the 2003 tribute compilation, Just Because I'm a Woman: Songs of Dolly Parton.
Carrie Underwood – Mama's Song
It's not just break-ups that cause heartbreak. Underwood perfectly captures the emotions of a young woman redefining her relationship with her mother as she becomes an adult. The singer was nominated for a Grammy in 2011 for best country solo performance for this song.
Willie Nelson - He Was A Friend of Mine
Nelson's haunting version of this traditional folk song, about the tragic loss of a friend, was used in the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain, helping it win Best Original Score at the 78th Academy Awards.
George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today
Jones originally refused to record this song on the basis that it was too miserable; according to the biography George Jones: The Life and Times of a Honky Tonk Legend, "he thought it was too long, too sad, too depressing and that nobody would ever play it." Luckily for us, Jones changed his mind, and the song went on to win him a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 1980.
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Cash was 71 when he recorded this cover of the Nine Inch Nails' 1995 song in 2003, and his trademark gravelly voice delivers lyrics about pain and depression in such a way that you'll be reaching for the tissues by the end of the first chorus. The accompanying video, featuring a morose-looking Cash interspersed with images of a flood-stricken House of Cash museum (no longer open) and the singer when he was younger, packs an extra emotional punch.

Clare Bowen & Sam Palladio – I Will Fall
The Channel 4 series Nashville may be fictional, but it comes with some serious country music chops: T-Bone Burnett oversaw the music on its first series, in which this song appeared. It was recorded by the two actors who play Scarlett O'Connor and Gunnar Scott, and written by Tyler James and Kate York, who has written multiple tracks for the show.
Clare Bowen and Sam Palladio (REX)
Dolly Parton - Coat of Many Colors
A sentimental song about a mother's love for her daughter, the lyrics tell the true story of when Dolly's mum sewed her a coat made of scraps of fabric. A gleeful Dolly immediately wears it to school, only to be ridiculed by her peers for wearing something made of rags. Written on the back of a dry cleaning receipt, the song was released in 1971 and reached number four in the American Country Singles chart.

Hayden Panettiere – Nothing In This World Will Ever Break My Heart Again
This emotional song marks the equally emotional ending of the first season of Nashville. Sung by Panettiere, who plays Juliette Barnes in the show, the track is about moving on from pain and gaining strength from the experience.
Sheryl Crow - Waterproof Mascara
This raw, emotional song from Crow's most recent country album describes the complex feelings of a single mother. As she explained to the Telegraph, her move into country music was "a conscious decision [...] I feel like I've finally figured out what I'm doing and have hit my stride as a performer. In fact, I don't think I've ever been better."
Taylor Swift - White Horse
An unlucky-in-love Taylor Swift tugged at the world's heartstrings with this misery-packed song about being let down by the one you love. With crushing lyrics such as "Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale / I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well", this is one for the break-up archives.

Taylor Swift album 1989 is a bestseller
Taylor Swift's 1989 becomes fastest-selling album for 12 years, with 1.3million copies bought
Taylor Swift's 1989 sold nearly 1.3 million copies in the United States in its first week, making it the biggest album release in 12 years.
Sales tracking service Nielsen Soundscan said that 1989 released a week ago, sold 1.287 million copies in the week up to November 3 2014.
The sales are the highest for an album during a single week since 2002 when Eminem's The Eminem Show sold 1.322 million copies during its second week. Statistically the rap album sold fewer copies in the initial week after its release as it went on sale on a Friday.
1989, a pop departure from the country singer, is on course to be the biggest album of the year as it is already the only record by a single artist to go platinum – or sell more than one million copies – in 2014. The soundtrack to the Disney film Frozen, which was released last year, has also gone platinum in 2014.
In another triumph, Swift becomes the first artist to pull a hat-trick of three albums going platinum immediately. Her previous two albums, 2010's Speak Now and 2012's Red, also sold more than one million copies in their first weeks.

Don’t Cooperate With Federal Task Force On Lagos Roads, Fashola Tells Motorists
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has urged motorists across the state not to cooperate with officials of the federal task force, who have been deployed in major roads in the state.
Fashola said the task force officials, who are part of the Subsidy Re-Investment and Empowerment Programme, SURE-P, of the Presidency, had no right to control traffic on Lagos roads.
He, therefore, urged Lagosians to resist them.
Fashola spoke during the fifth anniversary of the Uniformed Voluntary Clubs held at the Ikeja Police College on Tuesday.
He described the task force as an illegal agency set up by the Federal Government few months to the 2015 elections in a desperate attempt to win elections.
He said, “The SURE-P task force has no right to manage traffic on Lagos roads. The only agency authorised to manage traffic in Lagos on the federal roads are LASTMA and the Federal Road Safety Corps. Citizens should just resist them and refuse to cooperate with them”.
According to the governor, money recouped from the removal of subsidy and channelled into SURE-P ought to have been invested on dilapidated federal roads in Lagos especially the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway.
Fashola added that investment in the task force was contrary to the assurances by President Goodluck Jonathan that the subsidy would be used to improve the lives of Nigerians.
He said, “So you see how it has been improving our lives. The money should have been spent on roads; Apapa-Oshodi Expressway is one of them; that is where SURE-P money should have been invested not to dissipate it into political organisation in a very wanton desperation to win elections.
“This is the method that has been tried before, it was tried in 2006 and it did not produce any result. The result it produced was that they were roundly defeated. So, if you go into what does not work, we will not be provoked, we expect that in time, reasons will prevail”.
