| What Buhari failed to tell his audience at Chatham house - FFK Posted: 26 Feb 2015 12:31 PM PST   "We wonder whether General Buhari told his foreign audience whilst he was in London how much he loves Boko Haram. We wonder whether he told his audience that he once said that he believed that an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north and that the Boko Haram terrorists should be appeased, pampered, resettled and paid allowances. We wonder if he told them that he was once nominated by Boko Haram to be their spokesman and representative during proposed negotiations with the Federal Government" "For now, all we can say is that it is truly pitiful that a former Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria believes that it is more important to win the hearts and minds of the British than it is to win the hearts and minds of the Nigerian people. General Buhari can run to any foreign country in the world to say anything that he likes but at the end of the day the decision as to who will lead Nigeria as from May 29th this year will be determined by no one else but the Nigerian people. The game is on here and not in London," he said |

| Chris & Rihanna are back together? Thought she was pregnant for Leo? Posted: 26 Feb 2015 11:34 AM PST  "Last week Chris Brown gave multiple interviews - where he shaded Drake and talked about how he loved Rihanna and how he wished things would go differently. Well they're going to get a second chance. MediaTakeout.com exclusively learned that Chris Brown and Rihanna have began communicating again. One of Chris closest friends told us, "Chris is really going through it - with his legal trouble, tour issues, and now all this bad press - he reached out o the only one that really understands him - Robyn." The insider told us that Chris and Rihanna were "on FACETIME" last night for nearly two hours - and they ended the call with "I Love You". What does this mean for Karrueche . . . or Leonardo Di Caprio? No idea - but what we can say OFFICIALLY is that Chri Brown and Rihanna are back together. This is 100% FACTS - no rumor here. Shout out to BREEZY, RiH and their TEAMS for the scoop!! |

| Chatham House: ‘APC Chasing Shadows’- PDP releases statement Posted: 26 Feb 2015 11:09 AM PST  The Peoples Democratic Party has noted the theatrical appearance of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari in that well produced orchestra earlier today at the Chatham House, London. A script well written, a script well acted, all a truthful lie. The messenger belies the message. The stage was targeted to secure a desperately needed endorsement of the international community but the world is hardly fooled by theatrics of desperation. APC is chasing shadows.  Bottom-line, we wish to urge General Buhari to quickly channel his message and energies home, meet Nigerians who are choking up with questions on his capacity to lead. He may realize ultimately too, that politics in this instance is local and shall be decided locally. The ultimate endorsement lies with the people of Nigeria. We wish to commend President Goodluck Jonathan for boosting the moral of our gallant soldiers with a visit today to Baga in Bornu State and Mubi in Adamawa State. His able leadership has resulted in the huge successes recorded by our Armed Forces in the fight against insurgency. Signed: Olisa Metuh National Publicity Secretary |

| Akwa Ibom wins Heroes: Back To The Roots Reality TV show Posted: 26 Feb 2015 07:42 AM PST   Udodang, a graduate of Education Technology, University of Calabar, who is getting N2m, a car and a role in a movie is followed closely by Luter Emmanuel Ikyobo (Benue State) and Chelsea Chinenye Oguejifor (Anambra State). The competition had 37 housemates (one from each state of the federation and FCT) co-habiting for 104 days, to stress the unity in Nigeria's diversity. The competition which screened on NTA Entertainment was produced by Chinyere Ogbukagu and directed by Nollywood's Ifeanyi Onyeabor.    QUICK FACTS ABOUT HEROES: BACKGROUND: Piqued, by the dwindling fortunes of Nigeria's very rich cultural heritage, especially amongst the youth, a creative mind, Chinyere Ogbukagu, who heads Havilla Timeless Production, based in Jos, Plateau State after several years of brimming with the idea, arrived at a concept of using television to engender the cultural values of the various ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. After meeting, Ifeanyi Onyeabor, a renowned Nollywood director, the idea took flight, and metamorphosed into what is today known as HEROES: BACK TO THE ROOTS, a television reality TV show which sets culture-based tasks for housemates who are in contest from all the states of Nigeria and FCT, with the sole motive of letting ethnic nationalities in Nigeria to better understand one another. This has proven to be the required panacea for peaceful co-existence urgently needed in Nigeria today. OPERATIONS: Entry for HEROES: BACK TO THE ROOTS starts with obtaining the form, and followed shortly by nationwide auditions in the 6 geo-political zones, where applicants are first screened for eligibility. Eligibility is strictly determined by the panel constituted for auditions that are drawn from the arts community. After auditions, 5 persons are selected from each of the states and FCT for the final screening to arrive at the 37 finalists-one from each state and FCT- to compete in the house where they would co-habit for 60 days. Contestants who have great understanding of their culture are usually on an advantageous pedestal to emerge victorious. MISSION: Apart from re-awakening the interest in our culture the show also highlights the various tourism potential abundant in the various states where the cast and crew of the show are visiting. The stay of the crew and cast in states like: Imo, Bayelsa, Kaduna, Niger etc, obviously highlighted some places of interest. The meaning is that states and the federal government can latch onto this as the next alternative source of income, especially oil prices continue to fluctuate. 2014 HEROES: BACK TO THE ROOTS After a painstaking 104 days, traversing many states, the first batch of contestants were admitted for a 10 day orientation exercise in Kaduna, from where they moved to Plateau, where they spent another 10 days which pruned the contestants down to 37. These final 37 later moved into a camp in Niger State where after 60 days, the activities which aired on NTA produced THE FOLLOWING WINNERS: First Position: HAPPINESS UDODANG (AkwaIbom State) First Runner-up: LUTER EMMANUEL IKYOBO (Benue State) Second Runner-up: CHELSEA CHINENYE OGUEJIOFOR (Anambra State) The 2014 edition of the TV show also culminated in an event of honour to recognize individuals and institutions that have contributed in no small measure to a better understanding of our cultural legacies in Nigeria, with great emphasis on cultural tolerance. Some of those recognized in no particular order are: Best Supporting Governor: BABANGIDA ALIYU (Niger State) Best Governor: GODSWILL AKPABIO ( Akwa Ibom State) Cleanest State: CROSS RIVER STATE Most Culture Friendly State: NIGER PRIZES: The ultimate winner HAPPINESS UDODANG gets a car, N2M, a role in a film that will be shot with the 10 finalists of the show, while the others get N1.5M and N1M respectively alongside roles in the film. They will also be undertaking many projects in line with the preservation of Nigeria's culture during their tenure. PRODUCER: Chinyere Ogbukagu (Havilla Timeless Production) TECHNICAL DIRECTOR: Ifeanyi Onyeabor |
| Giuliana Rancic apologizes on air about weed comment + people want her fired Posted: 26 Feb 2015 07:28 AM PST  Whoopi Goldberg said on The View: 'She's not Joan Rivers. Unless you know how to make jokes, don't do it... I've met real racists so I'm very hesitant to call people who put their foot in their mouth racist. She was just ignorant... a bonehead. I have had dreads for 40 years, and never have I smelled like patchouli.' Comedienne Sheryl Underwood said on The Talk, "How would Giuliana feel if we made comments on her inability to have a baby?'. I feel like people are just making such a big deal out of this. Is it only black people that wear dreads and smoke weed? How is what Giuilian said racist? It was more silly to me than racist. And now people are calling for her to be sacked from E!. Read that and her apology after the cut...  Radar Online claims an insider told them people want Giuliana gone from Fashion Police and E! "The entire cast of Fashion Police is done with Giuliana and they are hoping that she will be not only kicked off the show, but also off of the network." "And seeing that she's had a bit of an alleged feud with new E! News correspondent Maria Menunos, this new blip is ruffling even more feathers." The source added: "The network does not condone racism in any way, shape or form and they know that their reputation is now at stake," the source adds. Giuliana's apology below...
