Stomach Infrastructure Is A Welfare Programme, Ayo Fayose Enlightens Nigerians

Newly sworn-in Governor of Ekiti State who has been criticised for making provision for stomach infrastructure immediately he got into office has explained why he actually created an office for it.

Fayose while speaking at the PDP national secretariat yesterday, when he accompanied President Goodluck Jonathan to pick his presidential forms said, even Britain does it. His words;

If you look at Britain, as rich and as comfortable as they are, in the entire time, they find their way to address the issue of the poor and less privileged masses in their country by what they call social security. Food is a social security, you can’t be talking to a hungry man, he would be distracted by any means. Secondly, when we say stomach infrastructure, it is a welfare programme, a programme that would keep the heart of a man stable.”

Photo: Chelsea Handler Posts Topless Photo To Show She Has A Better Body Than Putin!

Chelsea Handler shocked everyone when she posted a topless picture of herself on her instagram official page to show she has a better body than Vladimir Putin. I think it is more than that though, because shortly after that knowing fully well that instagram will take it down, she started campaigning to keep the photo on instagram and her followers joined her in campaigning to retain the photo. Instragram took it down few hours later, which sparked a row online saying the act was nothing but discrimination against her and whatsoever a man can do, a woman can do better.  

More tweets after the cut. Lol….
with the way things are going, I know women will one day walk proudly on the streets topless with no one saying a word! May be not in this generation, but the coming one, lol.

Murder Of South African Football Captain: Citizens Turn To Girlfriend

                                                 The love birds the day Senzo was killed
A lot of South Africans have rained curses on Khumalo, a South African singer and girlfriend of football star, Senzo Meyiwa, for letting the footballer into her home where he was killed on Sunday knowing he was fully married. A reporter who writes for timeslive.co.za who feels the curses and yelling towards Khumalo were unnecessary because the footballer in an interview earlier this year already admitted he never told the singer he was married when they started dating. Below is an article the reporter wrote to defend her...

The police has however said there will be a monetary reward for anyone who helps in tracking down the killers of the football star and a purported picture of them have been released.

Am I alone in feeling sorry for Kelly Khumalo?

When Senzo Meyiwa was killed, it didn’t take long for people to start slamming Khumalo.

He married, and she was the “other woman”.

The “other woman” who was clearly fond on him, who was the mother of his child, who remembered him singing her songs, who remembered him being her boyfriend.

Who was the woman he chose to spend his last day of life with, and the woman who remembered seeing him get shot, dying in her arms after possibly trying to protect her.

And there was an argument over whether she should get to go to the funeral.

Patience Jonathan resigns as 'Super' Permanent Sec. in Bayelsa

Dame Patience Jonathan has resigned her appointment as 'Super' Permanent Secretary in the Bayelsa state Civil service, a position conferred on her in July 2012 by the Governor of the state, Dickson Seriake. Seriake said he gave the appointment to Mama Peace based on her good service to the state and nation.

A source in the state Ministry of Education who pleaded anonymity with The Nation confirmed the First Lady's voluntary resignation and said her resignation may likely not be unconnected to her deepening rift with the state governor. 

"The whole thing is political. It appears Madam Peace is not happy with the governor. With her resignation, the battle line has been drawn. I feel the President’s wife resigned to enable her to have the moral right to slug it out with Dickson ahead of the governorship poll in the state. Let no one deceive you, the whole thing is politics. After all, she is 57 and the retirement age is 60.” he said

The source also said that all her terminal benefits are been processed at the moment.

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday quashed the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) which transferred ownership of Nigeria’s flagship magazine, Newswatch, to wealthy businessman, Jimoh Ibrahim, Premium Times reports.

Two minority shareholders — Nuhu Aruwa and Jubril Aminu — had filed a petition, urging the court to nullify the agreement which transferred ownership of the company to Mr. Ibrahim.

Respondents in the suit are Newswatch Communications Ltd, Global Media Mirror Ltd, Jimoh Ibrahim, Newswatch Newspapers and the Corporate Affairs Commission.
