PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN CONFERS WITH POPE FRANCIS

Ensuring  global peace and security, President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on the promotion of inter-faith dialogue in Nigeria and other parts of the globe.

Speaking with journalists after his private meeting with Pope Francis on Saturday, President Jonathan noted that the promotion of inter-faith dialogue was a cause to which the Pontiff was very committed.

Jonathan said that his administration was already working in close collaboration with Cardinal John Onaiyekan who was “the team leader” for the effort to strengthen inter-faith dialogue in Nigeria.

He assured the Pope of his administration’s continued commitment to the promotion of religious harmony and the peaceful co-existence of people of all faiths.

He also assured the Pope that his administration will continue to work diligently to alleviate poverty in Nigeria through more inclusive economic growth and development.

Fayose emerges PDP Ekiti guber candidate

A former governor of Ekiti State, MrAyo Fayose, was on Satuday declared winner of the PDP governorship primaries in the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria,(NAN) reports that Fayose emerged winner with 462 votes out of a total of 477 votes cast.

Leader of the PDP panel which conducted the primaries Dr Peter Odili announced that immediate past Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade scored 7 votes.

Odili said that Mr Dayo Adeyeye came third with 3 votes while Mrs Modupe Ogundipe came fourth with one vote.

He said a total of 544 delegates were accredited for the exercise, out of which four votes were voided.
Shortly after his announcement as candidate of the party, Mr Ayo Fayose said he would justify the confidence reposed in him by “wrestling power from the incumbent governor Kayode Fayemi of APC”.
He called on other aspirants, who contested, to join him in the task ahead and forget their differences.
Reacting to Fayose’s victory, some aspirants dissociated themselves from the exercise and called on the President and national leadership of PDP to declare the primaries as illegal, null and void.

Sen. Gbenga Aluko, who spoke on behalf of retired Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade, Chief Abiodun Aluko, Mrs Modupe Ogundipe and Chief Dayo Adeyeye claimed that Fayose was not qualified to contest.
They further claimed that the list of delegates was doctored in favour of Fayose.

NAN reports that the entire Ado-Ekiti township went agog as soon as Fayose was announced as the winner of the primaries.
Many supporters came out in a carnival like procession along major roads to mark Fayose’s victory at the primaries.

Hundreds of people, including market men and women, Okada ridders, transporters as well as school children trooped to the streets to catch a glimpse of Fayose singing songs of praise.

NAN reports that voting commenced at 12:05 p.m amidst tight security by combined team of regular and mobile policemen, the State Security Service and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

Addressing the delegates before the exercise, the leader of the PDP panel, Peter Odili, commended security agents for providing adequate security at the venue.

He said that primary option became necessary because President Goodluck Jonathan and the new National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu believed in internal democracy and the voice of the people.
He said that a total of 544 delegates from the 177 wards were to vote in the primaries while 15 aspirants were recognised by Abuja as qualified to participate in the exercise.

The state Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC, Alhaji Halilu Pai led the team of INEC officials to monitor the primaries.

The Police Commissioner in the state, Mr Felix Uyanna, led men and officers of the command to provide security for the exercise. (NAN)

SENATE PRESIDENTS CONVOY ATTACKED

Gunmen, on Thursday night, opened fire on the advance team of Senate President David Mark in the Orlu axis of Imo State.

Senator David Mark

The team was going ahead of the Senate President who was scheduled to attend the funeral ceremonies for the late businessman, Sir John Richard Anyaehie, in Nkwerre, Nkwerre Local Government Area of the state.



It could not be confirmed whether Mark was the target of the gun attack.

He was not in the convoy after opting to travel to the function by helicopter.

Security men in the convoy returned fire and repelled the hoodlums.

However, one of the vehicles in the Senate President’s advance team convoy was riddled with bullets but no life was lost.

Senator Mark confirmed the attack while speaking at the funeral.

He saw no reason for the attack, especially during the burial of an illustrious son of the area.
He described the late Anyaehie as a truthful man and good adviser, from whom he benefited as a young military Major in Port Harcourt.

He described his first encounter with the deceased as the greatest part of his life.
But the State Police Command denied any such attack.

Spokesperson for the command, Mrs. Joy Elemoko, a Superintendent of Police, said no report of any attack was lodged with the police.

“It was not true that the convoy of the advance team of the Senate President was attacked in the state as widely claimed. We knew that the Senate President flew to the state in a helicopter and so we are not aware of any attack, and if his convoy was attacked it could not have been in the state,” she said.

Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State condemned the attack, and described it as a bad omen ahead of the 2015 elections.

He challenged security agencies to fish out the brains behind the attack and bring them to book.
He said: “We should try at all times to be united as the action of those who attacked that convoy should not be tolerated. It was aimed at eliminating the senate president and should not be tied to Boko-Haram.

“I do not want to say that it is either this political party or not but those who are behind it must be apprehended.That is all I am saying.”

  Immigration exams   Man finds wife in the mortuary, cold dead, after parting at test venue’

 

If they had known, maybe they would have asked government to forget its job so they could live together. This is part of the lamentation of Mr Austin Amu, the widower of Mrs Sandra Amun, who lost her life, Saturday, March 15, 2014, at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium Benin City, where the recruitment exercise of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) took place

MISTAKEN CULTURE OF REPETE

When i see people lamenting and shedding tears for our dear nation Nigeria, i shake my head and say that is not good enough anymore, Intellectual high handed talks by political critics are equally inadequate. Its high time we moved in to do some real action and for the Government to walk their talk. 

The culture of repeating mistakes is nothing else but the ingrained lifestyle of corruption that have been handed down from generation to generation.

To imagine that our leaders have no conscience at all, graduates who are potential presidents, inventors, scientists, designers, intellectual property owners and managers are now being treated as ghetto roaches and rats. They are being shot at, cramped into spaces without ventilation to slump and die, terrorized into stampeding each other to death and exploited of their hard earned money with hopes of getting elusive jobs that turned out to be a scam.

I weep for my country, that could have been me...that could have been my sister or brother or even you!!! the spate of political aggrandizement  is shocking that as the years go it gets more ridiculous.

A fully packed stadium.

kris humphrey poses post divorce

Kris Humphries has just been sued by a woman who claims he gave her herpes ... GM has learned.

Kayla Goldberg claims she met Kris in August, 2010 at the Newsroom Cafe on Robertson Blvd in L.A. -- long before Kris met Kim Kardashian. The two flirted, exchanged numbers, and Kayla claims that night they met up at Trousdale nightclub on the Sunset Strip.

According to the suit, Kris came on to Kayla, touching, kissing and dancing with her. Kayla claims he took her to his hotel and they had sex multiple times ... including oral sex. The suit claims during a portion of the sexual encounter Kris did not wear a condom.

The lawsuit claims Kris did not inform Kayla he had herpes -- and she claims in the suit that he did indeed have the disease.

Kayla says a week later she was diagnosed with herpes. Her symptoms included a sore throat, fever, body aches and immobilizing pain, as well as extreme vaginal irritation and painful lesions on her genitalia.

She's suing for sexual battery claiming Kris knew he had herpes when they hooked up and didn't tell her.

Kayla -- who put her full name in the lawsuit -- is suing for unspecified damages. 

when media reached out to Kris for comment ... they got no response. so true pbtttt

Sherman Hemsley's body -not laid to rest yet

It's been over a month since the world lost Sherman Hemsley, however The Jeffersons star has yet to be laid to rest.

According to my source, Hemsley's embalmed body will be kept in refrigeration at an El Paso, Texas, funeral home until a local court rules on the validity of his will.

Sherman Hemsley died at 74

sherman hemsley

There seems to be a dispute between Flora Enchinton, Hemsley's manager of over 20 years and "beloved partner," and Richard Thornton, a man who claims to be the actor's brother. 

In the will Hemsley signed six weeks before his death, the TV legend named Enchinton as sole beneficiary of his estate, which is estimated at more than $50,000 according to court documents. But Thornton is saying that the will may not have been written up by Hemsley..... who's fooling who now, the ''beloved partner'' or the estranged partner. may his gentle and humour filled soul, rest in peace.

STUCK

As my eyes flutter open ,i realise that its morning and my night shift at work is finally over. the music mix i cued was still playing on the background... am happy am free to go home to the comfort of my house.. anywhere away from the studio, from all the camera's and mics.

my clock says 8:45 am and my face registers the discomfort and anger, by now all d excitement of going home is gone. my sole consolation is my laptop as i pull it out and start blogging.....then  20mins later he walks in... phew .

ADVERT TO MUSIC- A TOTAL MEDIA MOGUL

Taikoon won  the Future Award Entrepreneur of the Year - Commuincation and Media on Sunday in Port Harcourt. A well deserved win. His company has created some of Nigeria's best brand campaigns.

Dbanj is a legend in the pipeline

Contrary to all the fictitious stories making the rounds, the figurehead of Nigerian Afro beats D’Banj is still the rave and crave of any fun loving audience or crowd. Rumors had it that D’Banj fell from stardom after separating from the mohits crew and since has lost his mojo for making good and entertaining music.

 D'Banj' showed himself at the nothing hill carnival, where he performed alongside may 7 and the duo kept the carnival spirit going.
As an entertainer, D'Banj treads the line between suave and rambunctious with ease:
perhaps mindful that not everyone present is aware of his seven-year career before Oliver Twist.

Dbanj performing at the nothing hill carnival

from the call-and-response of Why Me to the lovelorn Scapegoat, and D'Banj bridges the gap between his more lilting, organic songs and his recent tougher, trancier dance-floor anthems with ease .and with the show's culmination in Oliver Twist, this is stellar proof that an international hit can be engineered with ease if based around a resonant, inarguable statement such as "I like Beyoncé". or anyother genuine phrase right? ilove d guy sha.....

OPRAH AND THE STRENGTH WITHIN HER
