Don't be scared! Be ready!!

You have some explanation to give - Yobe state governor tells GEJ

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 12:46 PM PST

Following the killing of 47 students in his state today by Boko haram members, the Governor of Yobe state, Ibrahim Gaidam says that President Jonathan has some explanation to give to the Northern region over the increased attacks by the militants. The governor said this in a statement issued through his Special Adviser on Press Affairs and Information, Abdullahi Bego. Find below...
"This morning, our state woke up to a very sad and heart-breaking news of a bomb attack on our young students at Government Comprehensive School, Potiskum, in which no fewer than 35 students were killed and many more injured. The thoughts of His Excellency, Governor Ibrahim Gaidam and his prayers are with the parents, teachers and families of the innocent victims of this callous and reprehensible attack.
The governor is heartbroken and words cannot adequately convey the extent of his remorse and sadness. The governor has noted that this is the fifth time in a little over one year when our schools in Yobe State were brutally attacked and students killed. There was Government Secondary School, Damaturu; Government Secondary School Mamudo; College of Agriculture, Gujba; Federal Government College, Buni-Yadi; and now Government Comprehensive School, Potiskum. Governor Gaidam deeply regrets that all of these dastardly attacks took place under a climate of Emergency Rule declared in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa States by President Goodluck Jonathan. 
In theory, the Emergency Rule Declaration was a signal that more vigorous steps would be taken to protect the lives and property of people in the affected states and deploy the full might of the federal government to restore peace and security. Unfortunately, this has not been fully the case. Instead of forcing insurgents and criminals to flee, the insurgents are forcing innocent people to flee and making life miserable for everyone. Governor Gaidam believes that President Goodluck Jonathan has a very urgent responsibility to explain to the people of Yobe State and people all across the affected states why murderous and callous insurgent and criminal attacks are still on the rise despite the State of Emergency."

Mathew Knowles baby mama launching children's lip gloss line

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 11:16 AM PST

No time! Well, little Koi Knowles has a title, she's Beyonce's little half sister, so that must count for something. Lol. A week after Wendy Williams told Taqoya Branscomb to give up on dreams of making her daughter a big star like her sister Beyonce, the Real Estate agent apparently has a plan B for making Koi a household name if showbiz doesn't work.

Taqoya told Rumour Fix over the weekend that she's in the process of launching a Koi Knowles children's lip gloss and haircare line. She said she's also working on a vintage lingerie line. But wait a minute, what does a 4 year old need with lip gloss? Oh well, anyway you can hustle.

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 08:37 AM PST

Find the State House press release below...
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan extends heartfelt commiserations to the Government and people of Yobe state on the death of many students in a bomb attack on Potiskum earlier today.

President Jonathan also conveys his deepest sympathies to all parents who lost their beloved children in the heinous attack on the Government Science Secondary School which appears to have been carried out by a suicide bomber.

The President condemns the dastardly murder of the students on their school's assembly ground as they prepared to begin another week of study in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their families.

He assures the grieving parents and people of Yobe state that no matter how long it takes, the Federal Government will ensure that all those responsible for the senseless murder of so many promising youngsters and the continuing acts of terrorism across the country are brought to justice and made to pay for their atrocious crimes.

The President similarly assures all Nigerians that in spite of seeming setbacks, his Administration remains fully committed to winning the war against insurgency and terrorism.

Nigeria, President Jonathan affirms, will ultimately overcome the current security challenges imposed by domestic terrorists and their foreign allies, with the dedication of its Armed Forces and national security agencies, as well as the continued support and cooperation of all patriotic citizens.

'A Place in the Stars' is a riveting story of illicit drug trafficking, violence, turf wars and conscientious dilemmas. A Place in the Stars is an account of one man's choice between conscience and the pull to get rich or die trying.

Set in 2006 Nigeria, A Place in the Stars tells the story of Kim Dakim (Gideon Okeke), a young lawyer with a case and a client that leaves him professionally conflicted. Kim is in possession of information that could save lives, if he would only pass it on. Faced with the deathly consequences of crossing 'industry' kingpins, including the toughest of them all, Diokpa Okonwo (Segun Arinze); and with millions to earn if he would only turn a blind eye, Kim battles conscience and professional responsibility as he determines which way to turn.
 
The premiere was supported by Nigerian Film Corporation, National Film & Video Censors Board, Old Mutual, Moet & Chandon, Landmark Centre, Michelangelo Productions, Jungle Filmworks, T Large Media Limited, Massive Entertainment, Ministry of Information, UBER, Casper & Gambini, Cadbury, Nasco, Ayana Productions, Blake & Harper, Soundcity, ONTV, AfricaMagic, Silverbird Film Distribution, Cool FM, Wazobia FM, Smooth FM, Classic FM, Beat FM, City FM, Rhythm FM, Pulse NG, Best of Nollywood & WE 106.3 FM.
