APC behind fuel scarcity, President Jonathan campaigners allege

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 12:26 PM PST

There's fuel scarcity right now is Lagos and many parts of Nigeria and the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation is alleging sabotage by the opposition, APC. See a press statement below...
"The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO) yesterday attributed the sudden fuel scarcity in many parts of the country to sabotage by the opposition APC, which has infiltrated the ranks of the fuel marketers.
Director of Media and Publicity of the PDPPCO, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, said in a statement in Abuja that the fuel marketers have taken a sub-contract from the opposition to frustrate supplies of petrol to fuel stations as part of a grand plan to create tension in the polity.
According to Fani-Kayode, "We know who the fuel marketers are.  We know the relationship that exists between one of the biggest fuel marketers and a national leader of the APC.  These unconscionable opposition elements infiltrated the ranks of the fuel marketers, whom they have contracted, in a calculated attempt to frustrate the good efforts of government.

"Why have they taken this time when all hands are on deck for the March 28 elections to cause this artificial fuel scarcity?  The situation is so bad that they are not importing the product. They are even threatening tank farmers not to release any fuel in their depot in order to sustain the shortage. We are aware that the tank farmers have reported the threat to the Police and other security agencies.
"This shows how desperate and wicked the opposition APC can be in their quest for presidential power.  Must they make Nigerians suffer simply because they want to rule?  They must desist from this act of sabotage.

"The opposition should not take delight in celebrating over the pains and sufferings of Nigerians as they have continued to do with the Boko Haram attacks on our people and nation.

"The APC's penchant to diminish the gallantry of our Armed Forces in the battle to defeat insurgency in the northeast zone whilst mocking the government whenever the insurgents bomb and take over villages in the zone, must be condemned by well-meaning Nigerians.

"This predilection exposes and portrays the APC and its leaders as forces of retrogression with a devilish mindset to unleash the worst form of anarchy on the nation before, during and after the March 28 presidential election because they know their party and presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari will be dealt a crushing blow by President Goodluck Jonathan at the polls.
"The PDPPCO also wishes to use this medium to alert the nation on the lingering plot by the opposition elements who have been sponsoring their agents of destruction in the power sector to vandalise critical infrastructure in order to reduce the megawatts of electricity that is being generated and reverse the gains that government is making in the sector."

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 12:15 PM PST

In the new Billionaires List Forbes magazine released today, 290 newcomers joined the list, including basketball great, Michael Jordan, 52. He's now the 513th-richest person in the US with a net worth of an even $1.0 billion. Forbes report below;
The most famous rookie on the billionaires list? Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time and indisputably the best-paid athlete of all time. Most of his cash comes from Nike payouts on his iconic brand. The Jordan brand grossed an estimated $2.25 billion in 2013, earning his Airness some $90m. But his most valuable asset is his stake in the Charlotte Hornets, worth more than $500m. When ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer bought the Los Angeles Clippers for a stunning $2 billion, values of all NBA teams skyrocketed, creating three new billionaires. Jordan's old boss Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of the Chicago Bulls, joined the list with a fortune of $1.3 billion, and Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander boosted his net worth to $1.6 billion.

First photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna together

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 09:16 AM PST


TMZ just obtained the first photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna pictured together since news hit town that the A-listers are dating. The actor is pictured standing next to the singer at her birthday party two weeks ago. See the TMZ report after the cut...


Rihanna and Leo DiCaprio should be a perfect match -- neither's into settling down with one person for too long -- but now that they're banging ... one of them is way more committed than the other.
We got pics of RiRi and Leo getting cozy recently at her birthday party -- which he helped organize -- and sources at the bash tell us one thing was clear ... Rihanna's the clingy one.
We're told Leo is affectionate enough -- they engaged in plenty of PDA -- but he could barely get a moment to himself. As one source put it, "she's the baddest bitch in the party, but she's following him everywhere."
We're told they've been hooking up for about 3 months, but it's still not exclusive -- more like they're each other's first choice. Not that anyone's crying for either of them. #LeoProblems

Press statement from APC Chieftain Asiwaju Bola Tinubu's media office. Read below...
"All Progressives Congress National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to sue the management of the Daar Communications Limited, owners of the Africa Independent Television, AIT for the defamatory content of a documentary aired on Sunday.
Counsel to Asiwaju Tinubu, Tunji Abayomi, said a letter asking Daar Communications to apologize for the content and stop further airing was delivered this afternoon.
A part of the letter to AIT reads, " ... You aired an hour long documentary focussing on our client (Bola Tinubu). Clearly pre-occupied with political resentment and hatred neither warranted, necessary, proper, or justified, you published several false allegations against our client...More disturbing is your misrepresentation that the said documentary was "sponsored" without disclosing the "sponsors". You cannot under law, hide under media freedom to maliciously injure a citizen's reputation".
The letter also demanded for N20billion (Twenty Billion Naira) as cost of damage done to the reputation of its client failing which the client will sue the company.
Another part of the letter reads: "…to affirm the right of our client against your defamatory publication, we demand that you confirm to us within 24 hours of receipt of this letter, an apology and retraction of the said publication/documentary."

Buhari's alleged fake pic: Fayose hails Guardian newspapers over apology

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 07:51 AM PST

Press statement from Ekiti government. Read below..
"Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has commended The Guardian newspapers for apologising to its readers over the false picture of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) interview published in the Sunday, February 22, 2015 edition of the newspaper.
Governor Fayose, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, said he was happy that Guardian newspapers demonstrated that it was a media organisation to be reckoned with by apologising and writing a detailed editorial on the false picture.
The APC had sent to the press, pictures of Buhari's being interviewed in Transcop Hilton Hotel, Abuja by Kemi Fadojutimi of the All Eyes on Africa TV" claiming that he was interviewed in London.
The pictures were used by many newspapers and online media, but only Guardian newspapers apologised for using the fake picture.
Fayose said; "I am impressed by the high level of professionalism displayed by the Guardian newspapers and I commend the publishers and Editorial team.
"Most importantly, I commend the Editor, Abraham Ogbodo for his brilliant write up of yesterday, titled: 'The Lying Photo From Lai Mohammed' and I expect the APC to be humble enough to also apologise to Nigerians for its lies."
Speaking further, Governor Fayose, who maintained that there was nothing wrong in Buhari  seeking medical treatment abroad, added that; "what is wrong is the lies and secrecy associated with Buhari's medical trip to the United Kingdom.
"It was this same way that health issue of late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was covered up during electioneering campaign in 2007.
"Nigerians can still remember the 'Umoru, are you dead,' drama and that is possibly the kind of drama  playing out now. If not, how could a personality like Buhari have passed through the Abuja Airport without any of the Aviation Journalists interviewing him?
"Why lying that he granted interview in London, using pictures of interview conducted in Abuja?  And most importantly, why has the party not deemed it fit to apologise for lying to Nigerians?"

Photos: Meet the woman who got a facelift at 80 years old

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 07:38 AM PST

What does an 80 year old woman want with a Facelift, you may wonder? Well, Elizabeth Moore said she got it because her ageing face with all it wrinkles no longer matched how she felt inside. Despite her family warning her against, 8 months ago, the retired university lecturer got a facelift, dermabrasion and fat injections into her cheeks. The five-hour operation cost her about $15,000
"I hoped I could go back to looking as I did a decade ago, when I felt more confident. I wanted to look the very best I could, and now I feel I do. I look in the mirror and feel much more confident about what I see. I no longer look tired and miserable, which I did previously because my cheeks were sunken and I had deep lines near my mouth. I now look rested and well." She said...

 Elizabeth before and after the surgery...
'I never thought of myself as particularly attractive, so it wasn't about trying to recapture the beauty I once had and then lost. I've just always tried to make the best of myself because I think the image you present to the world is important - people judge you by it." she says.
Usually doctors advice people over 65 years to reconsider having plastic surgery but according to recent survey, more older women are going under the knife these days: more than 60% of surgeons reported a marked increase in over-65s seeking an image overhaul.

Elizabeth pictured here after the procedure which involved a facelift, dermabrasion and fat injections into her cheeks to plump them up

2015 Forbes Billionaires List Out - 5 Nigerians Make The Cut

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 06:33 AM PST

The 2015 Forbes list of billionaires is now out. Five Nigerian made the cut - Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Folorunsho Alakija, Femi Otedola and Abdulsamad Rabiu. Orji Uzor Kalu and Tony Elumelu who made the list last year were dropped off the list this year.

Bill Gates is still the richest man in the world. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is now the 16th richest man in the world. The youngest billionaire in the world is 24 year old Evan Spiegel, the co-founder of photo- messaging app, Snapchat. Aliko Dangote is the year's biggest loser, hi fortune dropped to $14.7 billion from $25 billion last year. Read the rest after the cut..


From Forbes

For our 29th annual guide to the globe's richest, we found a record 1,826 billionaires with an aggregate net worth of $7.05 trillion, up from $6.4 trillion a year ago. The total includes 290 newcomers, 71 of whom hail from China. Youth are on the rise: A record 46 among the ranks are under age 40. One earthward note: The average net worth of list members came in at $3.86 billion, down $60 million from 2014.

Bill Gates is once again the richest person on the planet, a title he's held for 16 of the past 21 years. His fortune grew $3.2 billion since last year to $79.2 billion, despite a gift of $1.5 billion in Microsoft MSFT -0.47% shares to The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in November 2014. Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico comes in again at No. 2 while revered American investor Warren Buffett took back the No. 3 spot from Spain's Amancio Ortega (now No. 4); not even the largest IPO in history was enough to beat the Oracle of Omaha this year. Buffett was the list's biggest gainer, up $14.5 billion to $72.7 billion, thanks to Berkshire Hathaway's rising share price.  Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg moves up 5 spots to number 16, his first time ranked among the world's 20 richest. Ma and three other Chinese are among the the biggest gainers and appear among the 50 richest on the list.

Zuckerberg is also the leader in a youth revolution that has minted 46 billionaires under the age of 40. The youngest billionaire on the planet is Evan Spiegel, 24, co-founder of photo- messaging app Snapchat. California, driven by Silicon Valley tech companies, has spawned 23 new billionaires, including cofounders of car-hailing service Uber cofounders Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, and their first employee Ryan Graves. Elizabeth Holmes, who runs blood-testing firm Theranos, debuts on the global list as the youngest self-made woman at age 31. The state now has 131 individuals with 10-figure net worths, more than any other country besides China and the U.S.

The year's biggest loser in dollar terms is Aliko Dangote of Nigeria, whose fortune dropped to $14.7 billion from $25 billion last year, propelled downward by a weaker Nigerian currency and shrinking demand for cement, his largest asset. He still retains the title of Africa's richest man. The country that was lost the most ground by far was Russia, which now has 88 billionaires down from 111, less than not just the U.S. and China but now also Germany and India.

One hundred thirty-eight people from the 2014 list dropped out of the ranks altogether including fashion designer Michael Kors, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Zulily's Mark Vadon and many Russians. Guatemala has a billionaire for the first time, and Iceland returns to the ranks after a five-year absence, the result of a comeback by Thor Bjorgolfsson, who's now the only billionaire in Iceland's history.
There's no doubt that entrepreneurship is thriving globally. Fully 1,191 members of the list are self-made billionaires, while just 230 inherited their wealth. Another 405 inherited at least a portion but are still working to increase their fortunes.

Photos: Celebs storm 'Late Night with Nike Oshinowo’ Season1 wrap party

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 06:12 AM PST

The curtains fell on Season One of 'Late Night with Nike Oshinowo' at a swanky party held at the Moorhouse Sofitel late evening, 266th Feb 2015. The beautifully lit poolside party glistened as the star of the night, Nike Oshinowo, glowed. With guests including members of Nike's company, AOE Events & Entertainment Ltd., the LNWNO production crew, sponsors and partners – First Bank, Etisalat, Arik Air, Pernod Ricard, AIT and The Lagos State Government (represented by the Honourable Commissioner for Tourism & Intergovernmental Relations, Mr. Disun Holloway), Nike glowed in the adulation.
 

Ms Oshinowo treated the audience to a jocular speech, as champagne flowed.  In typical fashion, Nike was flawless, unruffled and beautiful to the eye.  It was pure delight to watch the host do the 'Shoki' and take 'Selfies' with her guests.

The night was a well-deserved celebration of a successful first season and an exclusive sneak-peek preview of Season Two which premieres on Thursday, 5th March 2015 on AIT at 11:00pm.

The Queen of Late night TV returns to your screens this March. See the photos below...
