Families Reject Federal Government’s Centenary Award

As the Federal Government honours 100 persons today with Centenary awards as part of Nigeria’s Centenary celebration, some of the families included in the list have rejected the awards on behalf of their late fathers. According to the Fawehinmi family, they can’t accept the award because former president, General Ibrahim Babangida who tortured and dealt with their father while alive is part of the people on the list to be honoured. They also felt their father wouldn’t have been a part of it because of the recent $20 billion missing in NNPC and would have gone to court by now. The recent killing of 43 students in FGC, Yobe State was also part of the reasons listed.

Femi Kuti also said, before they can accept such an award, if at all they would, The Federal Government needs to first apologise for killing their grandmother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, and burning of Kalakuta Republic. Wole Soyinka is still in doubt if he would accept it or not. Find the Fawehinmi’s statement after the cut. I think it’s a must read.

Couple Find Gold Coins Worth $10m In Back Yard

A couple walking their dog in California are millionaires after finding a treasure trove of gold coins buried underneath a tree.

A couple have hit the jackpot after they discovered $10m (£6m) of mint condition gold coins buried underneath an old tree in their back yard.

"It's like they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."
The couple have chosen to remain anonymous, but have loaned some of the coins to the American Numismatic Association for its National Money Show in Atlanta on Thursday.

Return to PDP now or lose your seniority – Jonathan tells Atiku, Kwankwaso, other defectors

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, told members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who left for the All Progressives Congress, APC, to return to the PDP or risk losing their seniority.
Jonathan said any Nigerian who wants to play decent politics must come to the PDP, just as he stressed that the party remains the only one which believes in democracy and rule of law.

He added that this was the time for those who left to come back and occupy their rightful positions or they will be forced to queue behind others.

Speaking yesterday at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri, Imo State, the President, who was apparently referring to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; Governors Chibuike Amaechi (Rivers); Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano); Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) and others who dumped the PDP for the APC, said there will be no discrimination against anyone when they come back to where they belong.

The President spoke during the PDP sensitization rally and the return of former Governor Achike Udenwa of Imo State, Senator Chris Anyanwu of APGA; Senator Ifeanyi Ararume; Chief Mike Ahamba, SAN; Chief Cosmos Iwun and many others to the PDP.

Jonathan, who reiterated that the 2015 elections were not worth shedding blood of any person for, said the PDP remains the only party which will not insist that one must be a money bag before he or she wins any election. He explained that only in PDP that people like him can be the President of the country.

Receiving the returnees, the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, who noted that the PDP will reclaim Imo with the return of Udenwa and others, however, reiterated that the party will present its first eleven for the forthcoming elections.

Also in his remarks, Senate President David Mark, said Imo remains a PDP state, stressing that they were in Owerri to get their own who stowed away.
Chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, who said he was overwhelmed by the crowd at the stadium, stressed that what was required in Imo was politics of inclusion.

WhatsApp Hit by Outage

The problems come several days after Facebook shelled out $16 billion for the messaging app.



What does $16 billion get you? An outage, apparently.

Messaging app WhatsApp on Saturday was inaccessible for many users around the globe. PCMag's Stephanie Mlot reported that the app just refuses to load. "First it wouldn't let me send messages. I deleted the app and reinstalled it," she said. "It let me re-register, but won't actually load my contacts or chats. The spinning wheel just keeps going, like it's thinking. But clearly it's not."

"Sorry we currently experiencing server issues. we hope to be back up and recovered shortly," WhatsApp tweeted this afternoon.

The problems come several days after Facebook shelled out $16 billion for the messaging app in an effort to expand its reach and tap into WhatsApp's 450 million users.

WhatsApp users were quick to point the finger at the social-networking site, or joke that Facebook was behind the downtime.

REVEALED: Janet Jackson's One Year Marriage to billionaire hubby Is About To Crash

Janet,47 got married to 39 year old Wissam Al Mana last year and according to reports Janet Jackson is preparing to divorce her billionaire husband after just one year of marriage...

From The National Enquirer


“Janet is ready to throw in the towel,” disclosed an insider. “She’s realized she made a colossal mistake in marrying Wissam. Janet gave up her career to be a dutiful wife – and she even took up Islam for him.”
But Wissam,39, who comes for the Middle Eastern State of Qatar, hasn’t made any sacrifices for his 47-year-old wife, according to the insider, who adds: “He travels constantly for work, and Janet wonders if he’s been tempted to stray.”
“She’s confided to a few close friends and (her mother) that she’s preparing to leave him. And she’s been calling friends at all hours, crying and saying how miserable she is.”
As the Enquirer reported Wissam had demanded Janet sign a prenup. She wanted a guaranteed $500 million if the marriage failed before two years, but Wissam held out and said he wouldn’t pay her a dime unless it lasted at least five years.
Now sources say Janet is getting set to challenge the prenup and demand a fat lump sum payout from his fortune. “Her argument is that she gave up millions in earnings for her husband,” explained the insider. “Janet isn’t going to give Wissam a dime of her hard-earned cash. However, she’s going to fight tooth and nail for a chunk of his!”
