| Lifeless fruit beats Donald Trump in popularity in his own country..lol Posted: 04 Jul 2015 01:07 PM PDT  Check out this hilarious tweet where a twitter handle asked who people would prefer to have in The White House - An avocado or Donald Trump? 45k people went for the lifeless object, 4k for Donald. People have no chill sha! Lol |
| Very soon, those who maintain private jets will begin to sell them - Oshiomole Posted: 04 Jul 2015 12:47 PM PDT  "Few people (in Nigeria) are taking away so much wealth, while majority of the people are going home with almost nothing. A clear example is when you arrive at the private wing of the airport in Abuja; you will find more than 40 to 50 private jets parked there in one airport alone. The question is what sources do these private jet owners get their wealth from; and which businesses do they run to acquire this luxurious lifestyle. |

| Guinness names the world’s tallest cow ever Posted: 04 Jul 2015 12:26 PM PDT  It's official. At 6-foot-4, Blosom the Holstein is the world's tallest cow ever. That's the determination made by Guinness World Records, which had previously named the female Holstein the world's tallest living cow.The new record was announced on June 25, 2015. Blosom lived on a farm in Orangeville, Illinois. Her owner, Patty Meads-Hanson, got Blosom when the cow was just eight weeks old. Blosom was 13 years old when she died on May 26. During her life, she was the official "greeter" for Memory Lane Crafting Retreat, a retreat situated on the farm. A post on Blosom's Facebook page said the cow "was called to graze in a more glorious pasture." Meads-Hanson found the cow down in a pasture, her left leg in "a position that wasn't normal," according to a post on the Facebook page. Two veterinarians worked in the pouring rain to try to lift the cow but they were ultimately unsuccessful. Blosom died after suffering a leg injury. "Her injury appeared to happen when she laid down, slipping in the mud, and damaging a ligament in her hip, and would never be able to stand. I had to make that hard decision - I wouldn't let her suffer. It's the last act of kindness you can do for an animal you love, but it sure is hard," Meads-Hanson wrote on Facebook. Source: ABC |

| Posted: 04 Jul 2015 06:44 AM PDT   "I have remarried and I am moving on with my life. Jebose (Majek Fashek), when things don't go right, what do you do? I am tired of waiting for Majek. I have been living for years, alone, lonely and with my children, waiting for him to come home. I waited all these years; his brothers never cared. No member of his family reached out to me. I am not getting any younger. I decided to move on. Majek abandoned the children and me for so long, too long. I am no longer Majek's wife. I love him. But I am not in love with him. Majek is a wonderful man. I am worried and concerned about his life these times. He had been on this drug dependency for over 15 years. We have three children; Randy is 30, Seun is 24 and our last boy is 12. My children were denied affection of a father by his illness and addiction. I have been the sole provider and single mother of our household in the past 15 years since he chose this lifestyle and walked away from us. I don't know what went wrong with Majek. I may never know. He is deep into substance abuse. I discovered his dependency on drugs and alcohol after the birth of our second son, Seun. He would leave the house and return stoned, ultra-happy and erratic. The signs began to manifest that Majek was on drugs. I was scared and didn't want to believe it. But everyday then, he continued to plunge into serious drugs and alcohol experimentation. They became normal recreation for him. This behaviour wasn't right. So one morning, I checked him into one of the hospitals in New York. This was 12 years ago. The hospital treated his addiction problems and he responded to treatment, briefly. Days after he was released from the treatment facility in New York, he was back on track on substance abuse. He reconnected with his neighborhood friends and suppliers. Majekodunmi would leave home for days and return to our apartment, soaked in dirt and oozing of alcohol, behaving erratically, commanding and trying to control us. He took his musical instruments and sold them for drugs or pawned some so as to get money to feed his desire for alcohol. I tried to shield the children from his life but sometimes it was difficult, especially when he lived, partly and by his choice, with us in our New York apartment. He went and came randomly, never cared about how we survived. One day, he came home and said, "Rita, I am going back home in Nigeria, take care of my children." He walked away and never came back, until I came to Nigeria two years ago to help him get treatment. Majek doesn't have any money. I worked very hard to support my children and him. That was what his addiction did to him and to our family. He was seen everywhere in New York drunk, sometimes sleeping on the floor of subway stations as he waited for the train home. When he returned home, I would cook, clean and feed him. I had to take care of him. He was my husband and also the father of my children. He was sick and his family abandoned us. Before the illness, he was a wonderful man. Majek's heart is a pot of platinum. He is a very kind and loving person. He was a great husband and lover. He cared very much for the children and I. We felt his essence of fatherhood and husband whenever he was sober. Majek did everything for me. He took care of me and treated me like a superstar. These were the days when he was successful and a superstar in Nigeria's music scene. Whenever he went on music tour of Europe, Majek would buy us boxes of clothes and everything else. Majek was the best husband any woman could ever dream of. He was the best husband to me. He was a charming lover. But his alcoholism and drugs addiction denied us his love, care and humanity. I have been staying alone for years with our children. He abandoned us. The children are grown now. I divorced Majek three months ago. I had to move on with my life. I am not getting any younger. I have remarried. My ex-husband is an alcoholic. I don't know how to help him. I did everything to make him get help. Only God can help Majek. But we must not stop trying to make him seek the right treatment. I don't regret marrying Majek. No hard feelings. He was always there for us. I thought this journey with him would last forever, but I am tired of being lonely, alone and abandoned. I will do anything and everything to help him get well. Two years ago, I came to Nigeria to get help for Majek. I encouraged him to go with me to a treatment facility I found in Badagry, in the outskirts of Lagos. He agreed and I got him admitted and I paid for his treatment. He was responding to treatment. Few weeks into the treatment, this lady that claimed to be his manager, came to the treatment centre, had sex with him and convinced Majek to check out of the facility. He did. I cried when he called and told me that he had checked out with his manager. I spent so much money to get him treatment. She doesn't care for Majek. My ex-husband needs help. I plead with Nigerians to help us as we begin another attempt to rescue him from the streets of Lagos and from his addictions to substance abuse. It will require money to put him in a professional treatment facility; hence we have set up an appeal fund to help raise money for Majek's treatment."she said |

| Posted: 04 Jul 2015 05:58 AM PDT  Photos show the man, a member of staff at a hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh, dressed up in a tuxedo and running down the beach with an imitation revolver. The worker, believed to be part of the hotel's entertainment team, can then be seen leaning over a man on a sun lounger and pretending to hold him at gunpoint. The routine is believed to be made out to look like a James Bond skit. The tourists didn't find it funny and asked the hotel to stop the man immediately. More photos after the cut...   |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2015 05:48 AM PDT  Press statement from the PDP below...
The party said it is privy to the fact that "Mrs. Zakari who has a strong relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari and a very prominent APC Northwest governor is collaborating with the ruling party to post Resident Electoral Commissioners of its choice to Kogi and Bayelsa ahead of the forthcoming governorship elections in those states." The PDP also alerted of moves to use the period of Mrs. Zakari's stay as head of the commission to tinker with electoral personnel and materials for the two states in favour of the APC. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Saturday said "President Buhari, in appointing Mrs. Zakari, failed to take into cognizance the moral call to detach himself from the operation of the electoral body thereby completely eroding the independence of the commission. The party pointed out that the issue at stake is not that of Mrs. Zakari's competence or performance in office but the fact of nepotism and her closeness to the President and some key APC leaders, which calls into question the independence of the electoral body under her. "We want Nigerians to know that with this appointment, INEC has been stripped of its independence and can no longer command the confidence and respect of the citizens and all other critical stakeholders in the nation's electoral process. "We however find it astonishing, discouraging and disheartening that the spokesperson of the President will address Nigerians and lie to the entire citizenry that Mrs. Zakari never had any relationship with the President or an APC Governor in the Northwest. This is the height of deception coming from the respected office of the President of our dear country. "We ask, is the spokesperson of the President, oblivious of the public fact that the Acting Chairman of INEC was once a staff of Afri-Project Consortium, a company well associated with the President? "Is he by any means feigning ignorance of the fact that Mrs. Zakari also worked in the past as Secretary of Health and Human Services, Social Development and later, that of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Federal Capital Development Authority, then under a current APC governor of the Northwest? "How much of Mrs. Zakari's roles in the last general elections does the spokesperson of the President, who has just been appointed, know to warrant his brazen defence? "Even where we concede to the worn-out argument that the President has the powers to appoint any person he deems fit as the INEC Chairman, does moral obligation not demand that in doing so he should take into cognizance the sensitivity of the position? Otherwise he can as well appoint his wife or brother as the electoral umpire on an argument of merit. "Whilst the PDP might not be opposed to Mrs. Zakari becoming one out of the numerous national electoral commissioners to be so appointed, we completely reject her being an executive chairman who takes major decisions in an independent electoral commission while having a strong relationship with the President and a prominent APC Northwest governor. "Indeed, never in the history of Nigeria has there been an executive chairman of the electoral body with such strong relationship with the president of the country. "If therefore the stance and choice of words of the Presidential spokesperson, which apparently fall short of the civility of a democratic setting, reflect in any way those of President Buhari, then there is serious question on his credentials as a converted democrat. "Conversely, we caution that presidential spokespersons in representing the President, must note that the psychology of their personal sudden flight to political limelight should not engineer a trauma of monumental deceit to our great nation", the PDP said. Insisting that Mrs. Zakari must be removed, the PDP said having in the last 16 years reformed the nation's electoral system to an enviable status that is being commended by the international community, it cannot sit back and watch too early in the day, its gradual destruction by partisan interest. The party therefore urged Nigerians, especially key stakeholders in the democratic process "to rise above sectional, religious, gender and partisan biases and put the independence of INEC, the credibility of the electoral process and the overall interest of the nation above every other consideration in their comments and views on the appointment." The PDP stressed that as long as the Acting Chairman remains in office, it would not recognize the electoral body as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) but as the National Electoral Commission (NEC).

| Photo: Ekiti PDP Chieftain rejects Fayose's offer of appointment Posted: 04 Jul 2015 05:10 AM PDT  "Making me a board member falls short of what he should do. And if I have to take care of myself very well and take care of my health, I don't know what membership of the college's board would do for me. I can't see how somebody who had served as a PDP Board of Trustees member will now be appointed a college's board member. I was shocked by the appointment with my status and level of work that I did. I brought the party to the state and I brought Fayose into the party. I supported him wholeheartedly when others refused to support him and I ensured that he won the primaries and the election (in 2003). He has not visited me and he has not done anything about my health. I have been trying to see him and talk to him about my health but I have not succeeded. If I will reject it in totality, I want to see the governor first and I want him to reason with me that this appointment does not befit my status as a founding father of the party and as someone who contributed immensely to his political rise. I have been abandoned by the party. One of my sons, Tope Okondo, who was Obasanjo's bodyguard, fell sick in Abuja and the situation I met him was very terrible. I tried to see if I could take him to India. I contacted (former Governor) Fayemi and he offered to assist. We took him to India where he spent two to three days and I thank him (Fayemi) for the gesture but he told me not to bother. If my own party (PDP) can treat me like this, it is unfortunate"he saids |
| Joseph Benjamin sets his heart on re-Marrying a white woman! Posted: 04 Jul 2015 05:07 AM PDT   How on earth did she melt his heart and make him ask the million dollar question, "will you marry me?".Well, don't look too far, as this lovelyQueen of his heart, Samantha Smith, has the golden answer, in the movie 'Mum Dad Meet Sam'. It's a romantic comedy and unveils Josiah Abiola(Joseph Benjamin)who is at the peak of his career. The only thing left is to find the perfect girl to settle down with, and Samantha Smith (Daniella Down)is stunning, intelligent, and pretty much fits the picture. Both meet and fall in love and might just be perfect for each other. He decides to take her home to meet his family…in Nigeria. What is meant to be a special occasion turns out to be their worst nightmare. Throw in a cocktail of the devious ex-girlfriend Morenike(Edith Nwekenta), an over protective, overdramatic mother (Helen Gold), and the fact that Sam is… ENGLISH, then you have a recipe for an explosive and disastrous encounter ripe with awkwardness and hilarity. |
