| Ciara and Future end their engagement? Side chick revealed... Posted: 29 Jul 2014 01:17 PM PDT  It looks like the singer is now just a baby mama as inside sources claim she and Future have ended their engagement amid rumors of a secret side chick… US blogger Sandra Rose uncovered evidence that Future may be secretly dating his stylist Tyrina Lee and that the engagement between Ciara and Future is definitely off. Continue...  Rumors swirled that rap mogul Future Hendrix stepped out on his fiancée Ciara long before she gave birth to their son. The investigative sleuths over on gossip board Lipstickalley.com managed to track down Future's rumored sidepiece. Her name is Tyrina Lee (pictured above), and she goes by the username @Princesstyrinalee on Instagram.com. A wardrobe stylist by trade, Tyrina reportedly organizes Future's vast wardrobe and extensive collection of kicks while he's on tour. If you recall, Future went on tour while Ciara was in labor with their baby on the west coast. When Future vacations in exotic locales around the world, Tyrina is the one frolicking in the surf with him — not Ciara. Friends say Future rarely sees Ciara or his son because he's too busy touring. They say he spends all of his time — and apparently all of his money — on his well-kept assistant. She flies 1st class on private jets with Future, and she wears expensive high end bags and shoes, which she posts on her social media for Ciara to see. They don't call Tyrina "Princess" for nothing.       |

| Did GEJ give Chibok parents N100million? There's new controversy Posted: 29 Jul 2014 12:32 PM PDT  Channels TV reports Although a presidential aide denied any such gift to Chibok parents, through their leaders, one parent, Mr Abdu Halidu, told the BBC that he got only N200, 000 from the money. Now the parents of the missing girls are saying that the amount shared to them is unacceptable. According to Mr Halidu "I got only N200, 000 out of the said N100 million. Some of us got N300,000 and some less than that. Our leaders in Abuja are using the girls to enrich themselves and this is unacceptable." Continue...Over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by gunmen who stormed the Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, North-East Nigeria in the dead of the night of April 15, ordering all the girls out of their hostels into four lorries. On July 22, a special presidential meeting was held with the parents of the Chibok girls in the Presidential Villa which afforded the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, the opportunity to empathize with the girls and their parents. The President, after assuring the Chibok community of his Government's determination to ensure that the abducted schoolgirls that are still in captivity are brought out alive, reassured them that everything would be done to make things easier for them especially the ones that have already escaped and the ones yet to be rescued. President Jonathan also assured them that their education would not be allowed to suffer. The statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, after the meeting made no mention of a cash gift to the parents. Community Leaders Deny Meanwhile, the leadership of Kibaku community an umbrella body for the Chibok community has denied claims that money exchanged hands after the community's meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan. National Publicity Secretary of the community, Mr Allen Manase, said that they also heard from the media that monies were given to the families of the abducted girls and such a story cannot be confirmed because they do not have any knowledge of the said exchange. He went on to say that even if monies were to exchange hands it should have been given to the leadership of the community to ensure that it gets to all affected persons. He urged the Federal Government to instead concentrate on rescuing the girls and returning them to their families and then it can decide to help in rehabilitating them |

| Beyonce house hunting without Jay Z? Posted: 29 Jul 2014 08:12 AM PDT   Sources tell Page Six Beyoncé may already have one foot out the door - she's been secretly shopping for new digs without Jay Z. The booty-ful belter looked at a $21.5 million Chelsea penthouse early last month. "She was very quiet, as if she was looking on the sly," a source said. Fueling the notion that Beyoncé is not shopping for the both of them is the fact that Jay Z has always been extremely involved in their real-estate deals, sources said. Yet he was nowhere to be seen during the apartment showing, they added. |

| We have insiders in commercial banks' suspected fraudsters confess Posted: 29 Jul 2014 05:58 AM PDT  The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three suspected fraudsters identified as Kola Osho, Oyedepo Adesola and Kola Ademola, who allegedly specialize in withdrawing money from people's bank accounts using dud cheques. According to Punch, the police said the suspects usually obtained the cheques from people who are experts in stealing cheque books from unsuspecting people, then they will present the cheques to their insider in the bank, who will dubiously verify the account holder and the signature before the money could be paid out. Continue... The men were arrested at the Pipeline area of Abule-Egba, a suburb in Lagos following a tip off. While Oyedepo Adesola and Kola Ademola were arrested on Wednesday, July 23, Kola Osho was arrested the following day July 24th. They were found with two dud cheques belonging to a commercial bank, and some forged letter-head documents bearing 'Ministry of Finance & Economic Development'. "I was formerly doing supplying and clearing business. I wanted to use the documents the police found on me to process a visa to the United Kingdom. I got the forged documents from the Internet. Ademola gave the cheques to me and I returned them because I could not cash them. He is like a son to me as I am his father's friend. So, I sent back all the businesses he brought, because I did not want any trouble. I used to have insiders in the banks, but I have cut off from them all. I knew I cheated when I got the forged documents to process my visa, but I did not have any option. It also did not work out." he saidAnother suspect, Kola Ademola, 33, who hails from Ikire, Osun State claims to be a graduate of Business Administration and runs an Educational center. He said he got the cheque books from a certain Samson he met at Obalende in Lagos and that they were yet to make any money from the cheque books, a situation he described as unfortunate.
The last suspect, Oyedepo Adesola, aged 36, on the other hand claims to be innocent and was only on a visit to Mr Osho's office when the police arrested him. "I hold a Higher National Diploma from a polytechnic in Oyo State. I studied Accounting and finished in 2007. I do not know what the police are talking about. I simply came to Osho to transact a business, and they got me arrested. I am innocent." he saidSource: Punch |

At a Joint Ministerial Press briefing of the Lagos State Ministry of Health and Federal Ministry of Health on development concerning the disease yesterday July 28th, the state Commissioner of Health, Dr Jide Idris said out of the 59 people who had contact with the late Patrick Sawyer, 44 were hospital contacts (38 healthcare workers & 6 laboratory staff) and 15 Airport contacts comprising 3 ECOWAS staff-driver, Liaison, and Protocol officers, Nigerian Ambassador to Monrovia, two nursing staff and five Airport passenger handlers. Continue... Dr Idris explained that out of the number, 20 contacts had been physically screened of which 50% are of the type one contact and another 50% had type two contact, adding that the airline manifest has not been provided yet. "The Airline manifest has not been provided by the airline at the time of this report and therefore, the precise number of passenger contacts is yet to be ascertained, especially as two flights were involved (Monrovia-Lome and Lome-Lagos). There was no report of a medical incident filed." the statement readDr Idris stated categorically that only one case of imported Ebola and one death has been recorded in Lagos. He went further to state "No Nigerian is infected, but all contacts are being actively followed. We call on all Nigerians to be calm and not panic and I do hereby assure them that both the state and Federal governments are up in arms to ensure that the virus did not escape and that no Nigeria is infected with this virus," he stressed.He said part of the measures taken after the death of the Liberian was the demobilization of the private hospital where he was admitted and elimination of primary source of infection and that the decontamination process in all affected areas has commenced. He added that the corpse of the victim has since been cremated, and the ash is awaiting further directives from the Liberian Embassy. "Adhering strictly to WHO guidelines, the body of the deceased patient was decontaminated using 10% sodium hypochlorite and cremated, with the permission of the government of Liberia. A cremation urn has been prepared for dispatch to the family. The vehicle that conveyed the remains was also fully decontaminated," he added. |
