                     Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described the performance of President Goodluck Jonathan as far below average. He stated this on Friday while speaking with book writers in Abeokuta, Ogun State, as part of activities marking the popular Ake Festival.
                     When asked of his view on Jonathan’s administration so far, Obasanjo said: “His performance is below average. I will not accept responsibility for his performance.
                    There is nobody that gets such a position without being helped.”
The former President also debunked the insinuations that he had selected Jonathan as the running mate to the late President Musa Yar’Adua because he knew the latter was sick. “Yar’Adua told me he was well.
                         He showed me his medical report and I even consulted experts,” he said. He said he had

When news broke that one of Nigeria’s favourite music Duo KC Presh parted ways in mid-2011 after a partnership of over 12 years, fans and critics thought that was the end of the rising career of the segemenge crooners. A year later one half of the duo KCee made return to mainstream music with hits after hits like Limpopo, Pull Over, and Okpete, and the big question on the lips of everyone was,
Where is Presh?
With a thunderous response, Precious John who is famously known as Presh resurfaced to mainstream Nigerian music in 2014, and it’s been a journey of consistency and quality. The first news was his new mouth-watering deal with Eric Manny records, owned by top Igbo billionaire, Okwudili Umenyiora, owner of Dilly Motors and then the Akwa –Ibom state born entertainer officially dropped his first come back song which he titled ‘Olegelege’. While fans and pundits were still warming up to the new song, Presh jeted out to South Africa where he went to shoot a multi-million naira video for his new love song titled ‘International Lady’.

ABUBAKAR SHEKAU
The leader of Boko Haram, a militant Islamist movement based in Nigeria that has made numerous threats against the United States, claimed responsibility for kidnapping nearly 300 schoolgirls in April 2014. Six months later, he promised to release the girls as part of a cease-fire agreement with the Nigerian government, but went back on his word. He said the girls had become Muslims and that Boko Haram had "married them off." Other kidnappings and terrorist acts followed. The United States designated Boko Haram a terrorist organization in 2013.

The General Overseer of the Kingdom of God Conscious Movement International, 65-year-old Rev Lord Ojee also known as Nduwusi Kanu is now cooling off in police cell after being fingered as the mastermind of the kidnap and murder of the former Chairman of Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State, Hon. Godwin Igbo who was 70-year-old at the time of the incident. The cleric was said to have hired a gang of kidnappers for a fee of N2m, out of which he made an initial deposit of N50,000 for the abduction of Igbo over an alleged land dispute and chieftaincy title
of Eze Agu Nechenba 1 of Ikpoeze 1 of Arondizuogu community in Imo State.

The operation, which went awry, led to the death of the former council boss who was thereafter buried in a shallow grave in a thick forest at Lokpanta, Abia State by his abductors.

One morning late last month, a St. Louis courtroom filled up with prosecutors, lawyers and press who wondered if they’d catch a glimpse of a vanished man.

The man, police officer Darren Wilson, hadn’t been seen in public since Aug. 9, when he shot and killed an unarmed black teenager and found himself in a wave of national fury. But here, at this unrelated preliminary hearing, Wilson had incentive to appear. He’d been asked to show up to provide testimony against an alleged low-level drug dealer — somebody he’d wrestled to the ground and handcuffed 20 months earlier, in an arrest that won him a Ferguson city commendation. Now Wilson just had to recount the story to a judge.

The courtroom players took their places for just one in a series of rapid-fire hearings. A few minutes passed. The judge called the defense attorney and prosecutor into whispering range, and soon it became clear: Wilson wasn’t going to show, his absence emblematic of a remarkable period in which the central character of an explosive national story has gone totally dark. Judge Mary Schroeder then dismissed the drug case for what she called a “failure to prosecute.”

An American engineer has made a pair of gloves inspired by geckos’ feet that could allow him to climb glass buildings, bringing super-hero fantasy closer to reality.

Mechanical engineer Elliot Hawkes of Stanford University developed the gloves, which are designed to support a person’s weight, by mimicking the sticky pad of a gecko’s feet.

Rather than sticking to the surface, the gloves use friction to hold the wearer in place by increasing the surface area of the gloves with hair-like nanofibers. Hawkes and his colleagues are the first to successfully develop a material that could function in this way.

The political war over President Obama’s controversial policy changes on deportation escalated Friday as the White House pledged to forcefully sell the overhauls to the American people, while many Republicans vowed to derail his efforts.

Obama went to Nevada Friday to begin what the White House described as a “very aggressive” effort to promote the changes but also to chide his Republican critics for opposing immigration reform.

“We’re not a nation that kicks out strivers and dreamers who want to earn their piece of the American dream,” Obama said. “We didn’t raise the Statue of Liberty with her back to the world. We did it with her light shining.”

Activists, authorities and the family of Michael Brown called for calm as a grand jury drew closer to an announcement in the Ferguson police shooting. But it was unclear whether the panel was still at work or when it would render a decision.

Earlier Friday, a spokesman for St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch told reporters that the grand jury weighing whether to indict officer Darren Wilson was still in session. Five hours later, Ed Magee declined to say whether the panel was still meeting.

The time, date and place for a news conference announcing the decision has not been decided, Magee said.

Wilson, 28, reportedly told the grand jury that he feared for his life on Aug. 9 as Brown, who was 6-foot-4 and nearly 300 pounds, came at him. Some witnesses said Brown was trying to surrender and had his hands up.

Air strikes by U.S.-led forces in Syria have killed 910 people, including 52 civilians, since the start of the campaign against Islamic State and other fighters two months ago, a group monitoring the conflict said on Saturday. and

The majority of the deaths, 785, were Islamic State fighters according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Islamic State, a hard-line offshoot of al Qaeda, has seized land in Syria and neighboring Iraq, where it has also been targeted by U.S.-led strikes since July.

Eight of the civilians killed were children and five were women, the Observatory said. The United States has said it takes reports of civilian casualties seriously and says it has a process to investigate any reports of such deaths.

Pat Utomi

Renowned economist and former presidential aspirant, Professor Pat Utomi, revealed that many in leadership positions in Nigeria deserve a place in jail as he vowed to kickstart a campaign for such bad leaders to be tried in The Hague.

In an interview, the scholar, who is the leader and founder of the Centre for Value and Leadership (CVL), also didn’t mince words while stating his disenchantment with the way the country is being run.

“Most of the people who lead in Nigeria should be jailed. And I’m carrying an international campaign to make sure many of them end up in jail in The Hague,” he stated.

Yeah! This is the most stupid juju that could hold a team like Super Eagles to a draw when they should have won the game last weekend, this juju is called ‘taking for granted’

Armed robbers in Guinea have stolen a batch of blood samples infected with Ebola virus as they were in transit for delivery to a test centre.
The robbers held up a minibus near the town of Kissidougou which was transporting the samples.According to AP, the blood was stored in a sealed container and was being escorted by four Red Cross officials.

Guinea authorities publicly appealed on national radio to the unidentified robbers to hand over the stolen samples that are understood to have been taken from a single person.
Guinea Red Cross press officer Faya Etienne Tolno explained that the Guinea Red Cross did not have its own vehicles for transport, which explains why a taxi was commissioned.

           As more women come forward with rape allegations against Bill Cosby,his lawyers have released a new statement,rubbishing the allegations..The statement by his lawyer Martin Singer, reads

    “The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity.
    These brand new claims about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous, and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years.

    Lawsuits are filed against people in the public eye every day. There has never been a shortage of lawyers willing to represent people with claims against rich, powerful men, so it makes no sense that not one of these new women who just came forward for the first time now ever asserted a legal claim back at the time they allege they had been sexually assaulted.

House of Reps speaker Aminu Tambwual might be arrested over his face-off with the police during the yesterday’s incident at the complex of the National Assembly.

It would be recalled that the building was blocked by the security Thursday, November 20, ahead of the scheduled meeting to be presided by Tambuwal regarding the emergency rule extension.

Soon some lawmakers started jumping over the fence and finally got the speaker, who has recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), into the building.

The Cable reports with reference to its sources that IGP Suleiman Abba ordered Tambuwal’s arrest through instructions issued to the police commands in FCT and Sokoto.

Beyonce in a file photo

When it was announced, the title of Beyonce’s new song “Ring Off” was widely interpreted as a potential explanation of the ongoing rumors around her marriage to Jay Z. What the singer has produced instead is a moving tribute to her mother, Tina.

“Ring Off” is one of two new songs on the re-release of Beyoncé (both are streaming at Spin). That album’s middle-of-the-night release last year was almost as surprising as its complex, adult themes, dealing with themes of marriage and motherhood. Beyoncé was about, well, Beyoncé, within the context of her relationship. “Ring Off” expands the focus, addressing “Mama” in the first verse and telling her “I understand your many sleepless nights / When you sit and you think about Father / Or how you tried to be the perfect wife.”

President Goodluck Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday expressed Federal Government’s commitment to linking all the state capital cities to the rail service in order to boost the country’s economy through rail transportation.

Jonathan who was in London at the 17th Honorary International Investment Council (HIIC) said with such a nationwide rail coverage, roads and highways would be better maintained.

“If we do not link state capital cities by rail, our roads will not last,’’ he said at the occasion, whose theme is “Rail Transportation’’.

A mad female fan from Caribbean gave Mike Ezuruonye something to ponder about and he is talking about it, the handsome actor, who also is a brand ambassador of Airtel, talked about this lady and also who he is aside being an actor.

He said “Mike Ezuruonye is a regular guy who eats the basic things you get from the everyday market. He is a regular guy who doesn’t go out too much, his best companions remain his way back friends – people who knew him when he was nothing. He is somebody who loves and always wants to tangle with the commandment of ‘love your neighbour as yourself’. I have respect for everybody. I’m somebody who builds a lot of goodwill.

Scientists have found even more evidence that sexual orientation is largely determined by genetics, not choice. Natureworldnews.com reports.

A new and groundbreaking study recently published in the journal Psychological Medicine,details how a study of more than 800 gay participants shared notable patterns in two regions of the human genome – one on the X chromosome and one on chromosome 8.

Previous studies have looked into potential genetic drivers of homosexuality, these studies often boasted a significantly smaller sample size or lacked common controls. However, this is the first study of its kind to boast such a robust sample size and also be published in a scientific peer-reviewed paper.

A third helicopter belonging to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has reportedly crashed in the Damare neighborhood of the Federal University of Technology in Yola, Adamawa State.

No word yet if there are any casualties.

The first details appeared in the afternoon of November 21, 2014, Friday, on various media, including SaharaReporters and Daily Post.

However, the Nigerian military debunked the information that any of NAF aircraft was involved in a crash today, neither in Yola, nor in other part of Nigeria.

PremiumTimes quotes the words of Air Commodore Dele Alonge, who is also the spokesperson for the NAF:

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) and the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) have also reacted to the crisis rocking the nation’s National Assembly.

TUC, in a statement issued on Thursday, signed by its president, Bobol Bala Kaigama, and secretary general, Musa Lawal, expressed shock over the role played by the country’s security operatives, Daily Independent reports.

It said the security operatives who were supposed to maintain law and order rather took side. It also condemned the use of security agents to seal off the National Assembly, describing it as a show of shame.

Aliko Dangote

In a bid to meet the demand of its tomatoes-processing plants in Kano State, northern Nigeria, Dangote Farms have started a pilot hybrid tomatoes production in the state.
This detail was disclosed on Friday by the Managing Director of the company, Alhaji Abdulhamid Kaita, at the end of a two-day stakeholders’ forum on tomatoes value chain in Kano.
According to Kaita, the Farms, belonging to the richest African man, Aliko Dangote, has also introduced the hybrid seedlings to farmers.
He informed that the farmers, however, insisted that the seedlings be tried by the company’s farm before they could patronise it.
Kaita also noted that the company had begun a pilot project at Kadawa area of the state during this year’s rainy season and would begin the second phase of the project in the dry farming season.
“The yield produced before is about 10 tones per hectare, while the hybrid seedling varieties introduced will produce 80 to 100 tones per hectare using the best practices,” Kaita said.

Scientists have identified a ‘singleton gene’ that could be to blame for your loneliness.

Chinese scientists at Peking University in Beijing studied several variants of a human gene that could affect relationships between people. They focused on a gene called 5-HTA1 in hair samples from almost 600 students, which affects levels of the mood hormone, serotonin.

One version of the gene, the C variant, leads to higher levels of serotonin than the other form, the G variant. Everyone has two copies of the gene, and inherits two of the C variant, two of the G variant, or one of each, depending on the type passed down from each parent.

Today Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi who is a well-known Islamic scholar has posted an open letter where he criticised President Goodluck Jonathan and states that NASS blockade is a good sign.

Stressing the importance of the National assembly (NASS), Gumi notes that the National assembly is the heart of collective existence. Besides, it’s the core of the democratic governance and the antidote to political impunity and despotism.

Ahmad Gumi says that for long NASS has been paralyzed by the executive which capitalizes on their human weakness – greed. He states that the hour is come and the NASS can never be the same again.

Early Thursday morning, Myron May opened fire at a Florida State University library, wounding three and leaving a college community shaken.

It’s not yet known why the 31-year-old Florida State alumnus decided to act out, or why he targeted the Strozier Library. But May, who was killed by police in a shootout, left behind a trail that indicates an apparent struggle with mental illness.

“Mr. May had a written journal, and videos, where he expressed fears of being targeted, and he wanted to bring attention to this issue, of targeting,” Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo said at a news conference Thursday. “A preliminary review of these documents and videos demonstrate that Mr. May was in a state of crisis.”

Bill Cosby's latest stand-up show went off without a major incident, despite local radio DJs offering $1,000 to any audience member who heckled the comedian about the sexual assault allegations he is facing.
