According to National mirror sources, Nigeria's first lady might not
be suffering from either food poisoning or ruptured appendicitis as
widely claimed by her sources.
Presidency sources said the wife of the president might have gone
for full have gone for full body work that included tummy tuck in
Germany."
Tummy Tuck aka Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure for
the removal of excess skin and fat from the lower abdominal portion of
the belly in order to tighten the muscle of the abdominal wall. This
is an aggressive weight loss surgery.
The wife of ex-president, Obasanjo (late Stell Obasanjo) went through
the same procedure few years ago. Stella later died in Coma after the
surgery. The President is said to have been informed about the new
twist and may have given his nod for a socialite and wife of a retired
top military officer, who
is a close confidant of the First Lady, to be questioned.
A source in the Presidency said the socialite woman, who is a
confidant of Mrs. Jonathan, might be questioned over her role in the
medical state of the First Lady.
"Mr. President is worried about the role of a friend of his wife in
the whole health saga. The woman knows so much and she may be
questioned on her role an involvement in the health status of the
First Lady," a source said.
The First Lady is currently recuperating in a German hospital, Horst
Schmidt Klinik, in Wiesbaden.
Late President Yar'Adua died in the same hospital after unsuccessful
treatment for kidney related ailment.
"All I can tell you is that Mrs. Jonathan undergone surgery and he is
in a stable condition. She is out of medical danger," a Presidency
source told National Mirror yesterday.

Renovations are still on-going at the home of the late Afrobeat
legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti---and recently, his son Femi paid a visit
to what will eventually become the FELA MUSEUM.
In an exclusive chat with Yeni Kuti, daughter of the late Afrobeat
legend, she tells said the Lagos State government are the only
sponsors of the huge project. I was gathered that a sum of N40 Million
was paid to the building contractors Total Consults to start and

French firm fined N94.2m for bribing Nigerian officials

 A report from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development that was leaked in July said French authorities lacked the
resources to fight possible corruption in big export contracts.

Prosecutors had originally sought to have the Safran case dismissed,
but did not lodge any formal request at the trial in June. The court
let off two of the company's executives for whom the prosecutors had
sought a suspended sentence of up to 18 months and fines of 15,000
Euros each.

Like all members of the OECD, France is part of the convention which
criminalises bribery of foreign officials.

The Federal Government had in 2001 awarded a contract worth $214m to a
consortium led by French firm, Sagem, for the production of identity
cards for all Nigerian citizens.

The contract was marred in 2003 by allegations that Nigerian officials
collected more than $2m bribes to influence the award of the contract.

The case involving former Internal Affairs Ministers, the late Chief
Sunday Afolabi and  Alhaji Mahammed Shatta; former Labour Minister,
Hussain Akwanga and a former PDP National Chairman, Dr. Okwesilieze
Nwodo, has not been resolved.

 Only a few Nigerians received identity cards under the scheme.

Nwodo was among Nigerian officials  arrested, arraigned and detained  in 2003.

He was prosecuted alongside others indicted in the scam, but the case
was struck out on technical grounds but was not discharged.

The National Identity Management Commission established by the NIMC
Act of 2007 has taken over the functions, assets and liabilities of
the Department of the National Civil Registration which handled the
identity card contract.

Attempts to speak with the Director-General of NIMC, Dr. Chris
Onyemenem, on Wednesday proved abortive as he neither picked calls to
his mobile phone nor replied text messages sent to him on the issue.

When contacted on Wednesday, the Head  of Media and Publicity,
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Wilson Uwujeren,
promised to get back to our correspondents since the issues concerned
took place "as far back as 2003." culled from punchng.com
