Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose cover XXL magazine


The couple strike a pose for the October/November cover of XXL magazine in which Wiz opens up about how he won his lady over and Amber dishes on giving birth and her beau.

Wiz on how he got with Amber: “I love my baby. She’s gorgeous and it makes me look even cooler when I show how much I love her to other people… When I met Amber, she loved me for who I was. I had some money, but it was like to pay my bills and literally set myself up for a future. But I was wearing the same camo shorts and high-tops and Chucks. But she liked my swag and she liked me for who I was and I wasn’t afraid of that… She didn’t wanna date any entertainers or anybody in the business. She didn’t know who she wanted to be with, but she knew who she didn’t wanna be with.”

Wiz on working on his new album while Amber is at home with him: “I just gotta do it. The most important thing is knowing that she is there and I have to tend to my babies. This is my first child ever in life. I gotta go hard at everything. As hard as I go in the studio, I gotta go just as hard taking care of my baby and making sure she’s alright, and I’m spending time with her and she doesn’t feel neglected.”

Amber on how she plans to give birth: “I’m so ready. I’m going all-natural. I’ve decided that I’m going to have an all-natural water birth. No medicine. I want those bragging rights! The next time Wiz has a stomachache or anything, I’ll say, ‘I popped out a baby all-natural.’”

Amber on the type of person Wiz is: “[H]e’s just a genuine sweet guy. And that’s what made me fall in love with him. And I just said, “You know what, I don’t care if he’s a rapper.” I don’t care if people say, “Oh, you’re a gold-digger.” I don’t care if people say, “Oh, you went from one rapper to another,” or whatever. I love him. I don’t look at him as a rapper. I look at him as Cameron Thomaz, not even Wiz Khalifa. I just fell so deeply in love with him, I didn’t care what anyone says.”


This is way to cute!!!!!......Buh see Wizzy's body doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Patience Jonathan battling Parkinson's disease? - Sahara Reporters



Found this report on Saharareporters.com 
Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan, is battling an onset of Parkinson’s disease that has complicated her recovery from a surgical procedure in Germany, several reliable sources have disclosed to SaharaReporters.
SaharaReporters broke the news that Mrs. Jonathan was flown to a hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany close to a month ago to undergo emergency treatment after a botched procedure in Dubai.
In interviews with three sources familiar with Mrs. Jonathan’s health status, SaharaReporters learnt that the Nigerian president’s wife is beset by Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative syndrome. The disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system. A medical source described it as “a fairly common disorder that occasions degeneration of the nervous system.” The source added that the disease leads to “progressive impairment and disorder of movement.” An online medical site notes that Parkinson’s “is characterized by progressive loss of muscle control, which leads to trembling of the limbs and head while at rest, stiffness, slowness, and impaired balance. As symptoms worsen, it may become difficult to walk, talk, and complete simple tasks.”

The bombshell revelation about the First Lady’s medical woes was first made by a source familiar with Mrs. Jonathan’s previous secret treatments in Spain and Italy. The source disclosed that Mrs. Jonathan had battled Parkinson’s for some years now. In addition, doctors had advised her to “do something urgent about her morbid body mass index (BMI),” said the source. She added that Mrs. Jonathan had indeed considered undergoing the kind of tummy tuck procedure that former Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha once had.
Two other sources close to the Jonathans confirmed that the First Lady has been dogged by Parkinson’s. One said the disease was largely responsible for her clumsiness, drawling speech and slow movement at public events. He added that Mrs. Jonathan has been suffering serious trembling in the left hand. “That’s why she always uses her right to hold the microphone when speaking at public events,” the source revealed. Mrs. Jonathan also reportedly is affected by stiffness of the limbs and trunk which affects her movement.
A news staffer at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) told SaharaReporters that Mrs. Jonathan’s aides warned reporters covering her never to film her beyond her waist. “Her senior personal assistant told the crew covering her long ago: ‘Don’t ever film Madam’s waist. Show her face only.’ That’s been the code at NTA.”

Two of our sources stated that Mrs. Jonathan had made efforts to slow the disease that had started to ravage her. “She has been visiting a health farm in Italy on a regular basis since 2010,” one source revealed. “To alleviate her pain, she has been taking her medication religiously.”

A friend of Mrs. Jonathan’s said that the First Lady’s health maladies include anxiety, occasional memory loss and disorientation. In addition, her blood pressure often rises to dangerous levels, forcing her to take a cocktail of anti-hypertensive drugs.

Also, our sources said that some officials attached to the First Lady’s office described her as constantly depressed, prone to snapping at people at the slightest provocation. “The First Lady can just get angry at the slightest provocation and rain abuses at anybody in sight,” he said.

As happened during the health crisis of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, the Nigerian Presidency’s reaction to Mrs. Jonathan’s health condition is to be mum. When SaharaReporters contacted a senior aide of President Jonathan on the matter of the First Lady’s illness, he sharply said, “I’m not saying anything. And please don’t mention that you spoke to me.” SaharaReporters learnt that officials of the Presidency are under a virtual oath of secrecy on the issue of Mrs. Jonathan’s health crisis.

The Kardashians say No Big Deal" to Kanye's Sex Tapes


Kanye West reportedly has two sex tapes that have found their way out of his hands and onto the market, but his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, and her family are reportedly being very understanding.
The entire Kardashian family are standing behind West  and insisting the sex tapes are "no big deal."
"All of the Kardashians love Kanye and they have told him that they don’t care that the report about his sex tape came out,” a source close to the family told the website, adding that Kris Jenner and Kim's sisters Khloe and Kourtney shouldn't worry, since they went through this when Kim's 2007 sex tape leaked.
Earlier, RadarOnline got their hands on West's first sex tape, which reportedly features a Kim look - alike as his co-star. 
Earlier this week, it was reported that West has been a busy man, as TMZ claimed there are currently two sex tapes on  the market that are being shopped to the highest bidder.
According to the website, the two tapes are nearly identical, but one is 20 minutes long and the other is an "impressive" 40 minuties in length.

“Poorest President” in the World – Uruguayan President José Mujica


The President of Uruguay, José Mujica is getting world wide recognition and respect for donating 90 percent of his earnings to charitable causes.
He has earned what most people would call an enviable reputation as the “poorest,” or the “most generous,” president in the world. His nickname, “el presidente mas pobre” translates to “poorest president”.

The President said in a recent interview that the only big item he owns is his Volkswagen Beetle car, valued at $1,945 dollars (about N308,283) . He earns a salary of $12,500 a month (N1,981,250), but only keeps $1,250(N198,125) for himself, donating the rest to charity.

He lives in a farmhouse which is under his wife’s name,  Lucía Topolansky, a Senator, who also donates part of her salary.
The 77 year-old who has been Uruguay’s president since March 1, 2010 told El Mundo, “I do fine with that amount; I have to do fine because there are many Uruguayans who live with much less.”

It was also reported that under his stewardship, Uruguay has become known for low levels of corruption. The South American country ranks as the second least corrupt country in Latin America in Transparency International’s global corruption index.

Yahoo News reported that the President has no bank accounts,  no debts, and he enjoys the companionship of his dog, Manuela. When his term is over, the President hopes to rest even more peacefully in his farmhouse, along with his wife and his inseparable dog.
There is something about leading by example. When you do, it becomes easier for other people to follow.

Man arrested for throwing burning stove on wife




A middle-aged man identified as Oladimeji Fowowe has been arrested by the police at Iju police station Station Red House, Lagos, for allegedly setting his wife on fire, when he threw a burning stove and hot water on her.
The suspect, who trailed his wife to Ijoko in Ogun State, southwest Nigeria where she had gone to assist her husband’s younger brother’s wife who had just put to bed a set of twins, was alleged to have committed the crime when his wife returned to Iju area of Ishaga, Lagos State from Ijoko
Speaking with P.M.NEWS on her hospital bed at Ogba, Lagos State, the victim, Mrs. Oluwakemi Fowowe, said she left her husband and father of her three children, when his trouble and that of his mother became unbearable for her.

“I was at the passage facing outside not knowing that my husband had sneaked through the back door and the next thing I heard was a loud noise as he threw both the burning stove and a pot of hot water on me.

“My body caught fire and I ran outside, shouting for help before people assisted me in putting out the fire. I became unconscious before I was rushed to the hospital, where the doctors battled to revive me. I want all well-meaning Nigerians to come to my aid as I have no one to help me,’’she moaned in pains

Oladimeji was subsequently arrested and handed over to the police at Iju Police Station, where he was detained but he was later granted bail.

His wife’s family said he should not be sent to jail because of the three children his wife had for him. But he was advised to take care of the victim.
However, the wife’s family decided to press charges against him when he failed to honour his side of the agreement, to take care of the victim. He allegedly abandoned her in the hospital.

Oladimeji, who had earlier told the police that his action was the handiwork of the devil, has gone underground to evade arrest. The victim is appealing to well-mean

Cynthia's murder: Court grants two suspects bail, remands driver



A Yaba Chief Magistrate’s Court yesterday granted bail to two suspects arrested in connection with the alleged murder of Cynthia Osokogu. But  the driver who was accused of driving the prime suspect to Cosmilla Hotel, FESTAC, was remanded in prison custody.
The suspects granted bail – Nonso Ezike (22), who is the younger brother to Olisaeloka, one of the alleged killers, and Ezeaka Chinonso (27) – were arrested by policemen at Area E for receiving and selling Cynthia’s BlackBerry phone.

Nonso’s lawyer, Mr. J. C Ngobili, told the court that the accused was a student of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, and prayed the court to grant him bail in liberal terms.

The Magistrate, Mr. P.A. Adekomaya, admitted that although the offences were bailable, he pointed out that the bail condition ought not to be too liberal in view of the circumstances surrounding Cynthia’s murder.
He granted Nonso and Ezeaka bail in the sum of N500,000 each with two sureties in like sum, adding that the sureties must not be teachers or local government employees. He added that the sureties could be bank tellers.

The third accused person, Gideon Okechukwu, a driver, was however charged with eight counts of murder, rape, robbery, conspiracy, administering a harmful substance to the deceased among others.

Okechukwu had told PUNCH Metro before he was arraigned that he only drove the alleged killers from the area where the hotel was situated, adding that he had no role in Cynthia’s murder.

Okechukwu’s lawyer, Bello, prayed the court to also grant the accused bail, adding that he had been held at the State Criminal Investigation Department.

The magistrate, who quickly interjected, explained that it wasn’t within the jurisdiction of the court to grant bail for such offences.

Okechukwu was remanded in Ikoyi Prison. The matter was adjourned till October 3, 2012.

Staten Island Borough President Denounces Singer For Marijuana Smoking and calls her a slut


Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro made derogatory remarks towards Lady Gaga Monday, denouncing the singer as a "slut."
The Staten Island Advance reports Molinaro was speaking at an anti-drug initiative when he suggested Lady Gaga sets a negative example for young people:
Stop glorifying the drug use. There's Gaga. Here's this... this... I would call her a slut. This slut is influencing many, many children ... and it's right to do. It's fine, it's part of it."
He added his two young nieces love the singer and said, "To me, she's not an actress, she's a slut ... in the pure meaning of the word."
Molinaro was pointing to a photo of Gaga at a performance in Amsterdam, when the singer lit a joint on stage  and praised marijuana as "wondrous." She also credited marijuana for helping her spiritually, and helping her cut down on drinking.
Molinaro lost a son to a drug overdose in 2006.
This isn't Molinaro's first display of offensive words. In 2011, the politician was being interviewed about how Staten Island was dealing with the snowstorm, when he unknowingly dropped some angry, foul language into the mic.

Statistics have shown that 60 Million Nigerians Spend N1.6trillion on Generators Annually



Some interesting statistics on the usage of power generating sets in Nigeria has been revealed by the Director-General of Centre for Management Development, Dr Kabir Usman.
According to him, about 60 million Nigerians spend N1.6 trillion on generators annually.

He also said that Nigeria had the highest number of standby generators, which had become permanent, making the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) the standby.

“Currently, there are about 60 million generators in Nigeria at the ratio of one per household of 2.5 people with an annual spending of N1.6 trillion,” Tribune quoted him as saying at the launch of the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN) graduate skills development programme  in Abuja, on Monday.

Mr. Usman further noted that the presence of too many generators has also been the cause of many deaths in the nation as a result of carbon monoxide emission.

Still on the use of generating sets as alternative sources of electricity, it is no news that irregular power supply has adversely affected businesses in Nigeria. He revealed that Nigeria’s highly inadequate supply of electricity adds 40 percent to the cost of goods produced in the country. According to him, “the situation has compelled many industries to either shut down or relocate to neighbouring countries.”

He also said that the poorest Nigerians paid more than N80/kwh burning candles, kerosene and firewood while  manufacturers paid between N45 and N60/kwh on diesel to run their generators.
With so much money being spent on alternative sources of electricity, it comes as no surprise that most Nigerians eagerly await the completion of the ongoing privatization process of the PHCN with the hope that power supply would become more regular.

What do you think about the statistics on generator usage in Nigeria?

Taxi Driver who Returned N18million Forgotten in his Cab in 2007 gets N2.5million Reward from SEC





In 2007, Imeh Usuah, a taxi driver at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja picked up some passengers from the Airport, two foreigners, and dropped them at the Hilton Transcorp hotel in Maitama area in Abuja. Unknown to the passengers and to him, they forgot a bag tucked underneath the seat which contained N18million.

He returned the bag with the money still intact to them at the hotel when he discovered it and since then, he has become some sort of overnight celebrity. However, despite the recognition and awards he has received for his honesty, this is the first time he will be given such a handsome cash reward for his action.
On Tuesday 25th September, 2012, Mr Usuah emerged the winner of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC), maiden Integrity Award.

Mr. Usuah, accompanied with his wife, was awarded a plaque and N2.5 million for his honesty.
He had earlier been acknowledged and commended by different groups in the country. The 69 year-old taxi driver had received awards from the Nigeria Network of Women and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Also the National Orientation Agency (NOA) has given him an award and $200 for his honesty.

The Director- General of SEC, Arunma Oteh, said that the award was the commission’s contributions toward the promotion, recognition and reward for integrity.
“Usuah’s exemplary act of honesty and integrity had sprinkled a burst of refreshing dew upon the national consciousness,” Premium Times quoted her as saying.

In his response, Mr Usuah commended the commission for the gesture and devoted the award to the“unsung honest and committed Nigerians across the country.”
