That is what MediaTakeOut is claiming. Read their report below...
"MediaTakeOut.com broke the news last month that Blac Chyna is pregnant. Well we learned that after a recent visit to the OB-GYN, Chyna was told that her pregnancy with Rob is considered High Risk. We're not at liberty to disclose what makes the pregnancy HIGH RISK, and while it's not the kind of thing that is usually serious, we're told that both Chyna and Rob are concerned.
One of Chyna's friends told MediaTakeOut.com, "Whatever issues that Chyna had with [the] Kardashians, that's over. Everyone wants to make sure that the baby is OK."

We're told that Kris Jenner has been over to Rob and Chyna's house; so has Kim and Kourtney. We're also told that the Kardashians have offered COMPLETE SUPPORT for Chyna - whether it be MONETARY or otherwise.

The friend explained, "They basically welcomed Chyna into the family. She's a Kardashian now."

NLC, TUC propose N56,000 as new minimum wage

Posted: 27 Apr 2016 08:53 AM PDT

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) have jointly proposed N56,000 as the new minimum wage to the Federal Government. The minium wage presently is N18,000. The NLC president, Ayuba Wabba, at a news conference in Abuja today April 27th, said the new minimum wage was proposed to the Federal government yesterday April 26th.


"I can say now authoritatively that as of yesterday (Tuesday) we made a formal proposal to the Federal Government of N56,000 to be the new minimum wage. The demand has been submitted officially to government and we hope that the tripartite system to look at the review will actually be set up to look at it. Our argument is that, yes, it is true that the economy is not doing well, but the law stated that wages for workers must be review after every five years. So, the issue must be looked into by the Federal Government and workers should not be seen as sleeping on their rights,"he said.

'Marriage could be a distraction for me at this point in my career' - Flavour

Posted: 27 Apr 2016 08:53 AM PDT

In an interview with Hip TV, singer Flavour who has two babymamas, Sandra Okagbue and Anna Banner, says marriage could be a distraction for any successful artiste, especially him and that most successful artiste who are at the peak of their craft, crash once they get married
"Marriage is not a thing that you just go into. This music business is a serious business. My own opinion, I think if you are in the peak of your career, you don't need any distraction. So for now I think marriage could be a distraction for me because it is a whole big institution that when you go in, you have to be fully prepared to know what you are getting into.
And right now looking at everything, its not so easy for me now....and most of my colleagues, whenever they get married, everything starts crashing down. I keep asking people, have you ever seen a successful musician having a good home and a good career? Its not going to be easy. If you know one, just tell me"he said

Buharri urges world bank to facilitate speedy repatriation of stolen funds

Posted: 27 Apr 2016 08:40 AM PDT

President Buhari has urged the World Bank to do all within its powers to facilitate the speedy repatriation to Nigeria of stolen funds still being held by Swiss authorities.

Speaking at a meeting with the visiting Managing Director of the World Bank, Ms. Sri Mulyani Indrawati, President Buhari said that the repatriation of the additional $320 million in Switzerland, which has been identified as illegally taken from Nigeria under the Abacha administration, will help to ease the current economic hardship facing the country.

Buhari assured Ms Indrawati that his administration was taking appropriate steps to ensure that public funds are no longer stolen or misappropriated by government officials.

''We need the support of the World Bank for the repatriation of the funds. We are as concerned as the World Bank about accountability. If such repatriated funds have been misapplied in the past, I assure you that the same will not happen with us. Three hundred and twenty million dollars is a lot of money and we will not allow it to be misappropriated or diverted,'' President Buhari told Ms. Indrawati.

One of the conditions given by the Swiss Authorities for the repatriation of the funds is that it should be expended on the implementation of social programmes for the benefit of the Nigerian people in an efficient and accountable way, guaranteed by the monitoring of the World Bank.

Buhari also assured the World Bank Managing Director that his administration will honor all agreements with the Bank that will help to stimulate Nigeria's economy and reduce the level of poverty in the country.
He said that Nigeria will welcome greater international assistance for the rehabilitation of damaged homes, schools, health facilities and other infrastructure in the North Eastern states affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.


Ms. Indrawati told President Buhari that the World Bank was ready to use its knowledge, expertise and resources to help Nigeria achieve faster growth and development.

''We will strongly support you to create jobs and ensure prosperity in Nigeria,'' the World Bank Managing Director assured President Buhari.
She also expressed the World Bank's full support for the war against corruption being waged by the Buhari Administration.

Counsel to FG Becomes Counsel to CCT Chairman over motion on his Corruption - Report

Posted: 27 Apr 2016 08:27 AM PDT

Read the report from Lagos Journalist below...
As the trial of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, continues at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), the lead counsel Rotimi Jacobs has assumed a new role as counsel to the CCT boss Danladi Umar. While  entertaining a motion filed by one of Saraki's Counsel's, Ajibola Oluyede requesting that he withdraws from presiding over the CCT because of pending  bribery charges against him.
Oluyede stated emphatically that  Dan Ladi Umar's relationship with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as a suspect in a N10million bribery investigation, made him unfit to preside over a case being investigated by  the EFCC .

Counsel to ‎the Federal Government and persecuting counsel  Rotimi Jacobs immediately assumed the role of a counsel to Umar and argued for him intercepting Oluyede.

‎"Your lordship hasn't been charged to any court; not convicted by any court. You're not under any trial. Investigation is a mere investigation the defendant here is still performing his duty as a senator. Today he's the senate president and he's now saying someone who hasn't been charged not to perform his duty".

"Mr Oluyede has never appeared before this court as at the time he filled his motion case is between CCT and Bukola Saraki  and EFCC isn't involved at all‎ the defender is harassing the tribunal‎".  Rotimi yelled

He raised up various more points in defence‎ of Umar as opposed to his core duty as the persecuting counsel in the case filed against Bukola Saraki by the Code of Conduct Bureau .

Recall that last week Umar had set the precedence by assuming  the role of the per‎secuting judge, the witness and the presiding Judge.
