Ugandan President mocks Pres. Jonathan for accepting international assistance

Posted: 23 May 2014 11:34 AM PDT

He actually made an ignorant statement (my opinion). While speaking at a campaign rally yesterday, Uganda's President, Yoweri Museveni mocked President Jonathan for accepting foreign assistance to help fight Boko Haram. The former guerrila fighter said he'd rather commit suicide than ask the international community to protect his people against terrorists
"I have never called the United Nations to guard us. Me, Yoweri Museveni to say that I have failed to protect my people and I call on the UN: I would rather hang myself. We prioritized national security by developing a strong Army, otherwise our Uganda would be like DRC, South Sudan, Somalia or Nigeria where militias have disappeared with school children.
"It would be a vote of no confidence in our country and citizens if we cannot guarantee our security. What kind of persons would we be?" He said

UN blacklists Boko Haram

Posted: 23 May 2014 05:13 AM PDT

The United Nation Security Council committee yesterday May 22nd blacklisted Islamic sect Boko haram after the Nigerian government on Wednesday May 21st made a request asking for the sect to be blacklisted.
 
A statement released by the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power says the move was to help close all avenue of funding received by Boko Haram members
"Today, the Security Council took an important step in support of the government of Nigeria's efforts to defeat Boko Haram and hold its murderous leadership accountable for atrocities. By adding Boko Haram to the U.N.'s 1267 (al Qaeda) sanctions list, the Security Council has helped to close off important avenues of funding, travel and weapons to Boko Haram, and shown global unity against their savage actions,"
With this blacklisting, it makes it an offence for any country or individual to provide any form of support to Boko Haram. The group is now subject to an international asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo.

"Listen. All Forbes needs to worry about is my finances and when I'm going to be selling Myx Fusions for $250 million. That's all they need to worry about. We rely on hip-hop connoisseurs and blogs for that kind of information. So we appreciate it, but no thank you."

Quote of the day from President Jonathan

Posted: 23 May 2014 04:45 AM PDT

During a #‎BringBackOurGirls protest in Abuja yesterday, president Jonathan told protesters to direct their anger at Boko Haram and not at the government. He spoke through the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, Olajumoke Akinjide, who addressed the protesters;
"We must be careful not to politicize the campaign against terrorism. When a bomb goes off in Kabul, Afghanistan, the people of Afghanistan do not blame the government, they blame the terrorists.
"When a bomb goes off in Baghdad, Iraq, the people of Iraq do not blame the government, they blame the terrorists. When a bomb goes off in Islamabad, Pakistan, the people of Pakistan do not blame the government, they blame the terrorists. When a bomb goes off in Nigeria, we must all unite to fight the terrorists."

Karen Igho is married! Shows off wedding ring

Posted: 23 May 2014 02:43 AM PDT

BBA winner Karen Igho showed off a wedding ring last night on her instagram page but I thought she was just being her naughty usual self and didn't take it serious. But when she posted 2 more pics and wrote that she's off the market, it made me curious and I reached out to her publicist who confirmed that Karen is indeed married. Not engaged, but married.
"It didn't happen this month or last month, she just chose now to reveal it. Can't say much about it for now though" her publicist told me
What I am trying to find out now is, who the guy is, and when they got married. Big congrats to her!
