Khloe Kardashian is being criticized on Instagram after sharing a picture of her latest lengthy manicure.
The 34-year-old posted a photo of her matte red mani, painted on extra-long acrylic nails. The image was a close-up of her hand, with her fingers folded over the sleeve of a blue sweatshirt.
But while Khloe was clearly proud of the look and overwhelmingly, her followers rejected it. A handful of critics have questioned how she could be effectively caring for her nine-month-old daughter when she has those super-long nails.
Though most of them questioned how Khloe could change True's diaper.
'How do u change diapers with them?' asked one.
'How do you change a nappy without gouging out some skin?' asked another.
'How on earth can you look after a baby with nails that long and hard?' questioned a third.
Some were less curious about how Khloe cleans True, and wondered more about how she cleans herself.
'I’ve always wondered... how in the world do you wipe your butt with such long nails?!' one asked.
Though some were harsh in their questioning, others were merely curious, complimenting her while asking how she manages her mani.
'My question is how the hell do you get a baby out of the car seat with those nails lol one reason why I never have nails,' wrote one. 'They are super cute though.'
Khloe was quick to answer all their questions with one simple answer, saying, 'I manage just fine. It's annoying when people talk about my nails,' her tweet began. 'Trust me, I manage just fine. The same way I take care of myself, I take care of my baby. There are more seriously things to discuss. At least I would hope. Happy Monday to you,' she wrote.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has replied Doyin Okupe, the Special Adviser (Media) to the Director-General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, over a statement he released calling him a betrayer. According to Okupe, Senate President, Bukola Saraki should be credited for the appointment of Mohammed as a Minister.
Mohammed in a statement issued today in Abuja, however described Okupe’s claim as laughable, saying he owes only Buhari thank you for his appointment.
The minister said the entire statement by Okupe, “is nothing but fiction writing, for which he deserves a hall of infamy award (in the fiction writing segment).
“Not one of the claims he made in his statement is true,’’ Mohammed said.
He challenged Okupe to make available to Nigerians any evidence he might have to support his assertion that the President sought the permission of Saraki to appoint him as minister. Lobatan!

Kim Kardashian almost created the wardrobe malfunction of the year last night when she appeared on the red carpet in a bizarre cut-out dress that just about held her boobs in place.
The 38-year-old mum of three, who is currently expecting her fourth child via a surrogate mother, rolled up to the 5th Annual Hollywood Beauty Awards in a vintage Thierry Mugler gown that generously borrowed from Jodie Marsh's infamous boob-belt look.
The floor-length number from Mugler's 1998 archives featured a thigh-split in the skirt - but it's the harness-style straps across Kim's chest that will have engineers scratching their heads in wonder.
With nothing more than strategically placed body tape in place, Kim was careful not to turn too violently in case she gave herself a black eye.
She attended the swanky event with her celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, who won the gong for Hairdresser of the Year.
Speaking in their private car ahead of the red carpet, Chris praised Kim's daring outfit choice as she struggled to sit still.
