DAVID MARK - NIGERIANS MUST KNOW FACTS AND FIGURES FROM OIL EARNINGS

The Senate, yesterday, concluded debate on the general principles of
the 2013 Appropriation Bill of N4.92 trillion as the aggregate
expenditure, and referred it to the Committee on Appropriation for
further legislative tinkering.

The Senator Ahmed Maccido-led committee was given three weeks to
report back to the general House on their findings and
recommendations.

After debating the performance of the 2012 budget and an in-depth
analysis of the 2013 Appropriation Bill, the Senate, however, blamed
the executive for poor implementation of the previous budget, just as
the lawmakers called for effective implementation of the 2013 budget.

Facts and figures on revenue earnings from oil

Meanwhile, Senate President David Mark, yesterday, told the committee
that time was ripe for Nigerians to know the true facts and figures on
revenue earnings from oil as well as ensure that what was released to
the Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, had cash backing.

He said: ''Revenue generation is extremely important because we can
continue to assume that we are producing so many barrels and that so
much has come in, but if we don't touch the heart of it to make sure
we are dealing with facts and figure, then we would be talking about
imaginary figures.

"I think the committee on finance should get to the root of that to
know how much we have realised at the end of the year and then we
would know how much has been utilised. It is one thing to say that so
much has been released to MDAs, but if they are not cash backed, then
that release is merely on paper.

While urging the Senators to ensure that they carry out an effective
oversight to assess the level of budget implementation, Mark said:
"Whatever we say about the budget, if we pass it and can implement
exactly what we passed faithfully, then, we would not have the
complaints that we have."

Earlier in his lead debate on the budget, Senate Leader, Senator
Victor Ndoma-Egba, PDP, Cross River Central, noted that there should
be slight change in the 2013 budget to accommodate the huge losses
recorded through flood in the country. He, however, argued that the
$75 oil benchmark set by the executive "is designed against the
backdrop of global economic uncertainty as the global economy is at a
very slow pace."

Nollywood : Charles Novia’s critique of Tonto Dike’s songs

Found the write up on the movie producer and record label owner's
Facebook page. See it below…

Tonto's Terrible Tremolo by Charles Novia.

I have restrained myself for a couple of years from commenting on
Tonto Dike's career after my last comments about her role in the soft
porn movie she acted in two years back, were badly taken by her and
she went on twitter to hurl infantile insults on my person with
expletives and uncomplimentary remarks. My reaction to such then was
just a dignified silence.

After all, I had already spoken on her stunted talent as an up and
coming actress and further comments on her incensed tweets were
unnecessary.

All through the past few hours, the social media networks have been
abuzz with the new singles of actress, Tonto Dike.

She seems to have joined the actors of her ilk who have the
moonlighting itch to delve into singing. While no one can stop such an
ambition by those artistes, I do think those who surround such
artistes are their worst enemies if they can't tell them the truth
about leaving their sometimes doubtful day job. Well, I will! I
listened to Miss Dike's two singles a few minutes ago and my initial
speechlessness morphed to a nagging laughter and then subsided into a
befuddled anguish.

I'm a music label owner (November Records) and have produced and
Executive Produced acts like Majek Fashek, Terry tha Rapman, Zubby
Enebeli etc. I know much about music and the slant of commercial
music.

But after listening to Miss Dike's songs, I'm inclined to align with
the majorly negative comments about them on cyberspace. Ah-ah!

Whoever produced her knew she has a bad voice for singing and masked
our listening torture with the Autotune effect. But even the
autotune rejected any attempt to make a bad. voice worse and Miss Dike
came out sounding like she was in mid-stream orgasm instead of
singing! Her anguished tremolos would have been better reserved for a
horror movie sound effect than an attempt at joining the revere
profession of music.

If Omotola got away with her last two terrible attempts at singing,
it was because Omotola is a fantastic actress and her fans could
forgive her musical failings after backtracking her body of work in
Nollywood. With Tonto, I can't say much either for her acting depth.

She's a one-dimensional actress in my opinion, who mistakes notoriety
for fame. She needs more training in acting and this I say with all
sense of professionalism as a movie Director. She might achieve
greater heights in acting if she trains more. But she has no heights
to achieve in singing. Only a downward plunge, the stuff bad endings
in movies are made of.

Wizkid Thumbs Down Tonto Dike's Songs

Ever since Nollywood actress, Tonto Dike, released her two singles,
'Itz Ova' and 'HI', it has generated lots of controversies on all
social networks and airwaves.

It's a well know fact that Tonto and Wizkid are fond of each other, so
for even the star boy Wizkid to have tweeted that, 'Shawty needs to
chill,' shows that she ought to have chilled a while before coming out
with such a trash called song.

Is Wizkid implying that she is not yet ready to hit the music industry
because she is an actress and not a musician? Your guess is as good as
mine.

PHOTO : TIWA SAVAGE CAUGHT IN HOT ROMANCE

When we reported the lovey-dovey between the Pepsi Ambassador, Tiwa
Savage and Marvin Records boss, not many people believe us.

Though, the sexy Nigerian artiste laer came out to debunk the story.
The songtress who is making all the money in the world with her new
lease of life, Tiwa Savage, was spotted recently with her Manager, Tee
Billz at Elite Model Look 2012 event in Lagos in an uncompromising
position.

You all know that, Tiwa has never confessed to be dating a particular
man but the last event, according to an eye-witness, proved her wrong
as the two didn't spend any moment away from each other during the
event and after the party.

They were spotted hugging, kissing and posing for photographs
throughout the event. I hope this rumour is true.

Breaking News : Funke Akindele’s Husband Expecting Three Children From Three Different Women

"ALHAJI" Kenny Almaroof Oloyede aka Funke Akindele's husband is set
to be a new father(s) very soon.

According to a report culled from E24-7Mag, Kenny, who already has
five children, is. expecting 3 new babies one from his Baby
Mama-Fadekemi, another one from one lady named Modinat, and Funke is
reportedly pregnant and said to be due in mid-July of 2013.

The case of Modinat seems to be most pathetic as she is caught in the
middle of the storm and was coerced to keep her mouth shut in exchange
for Kenny's continued generosity.

"A Lagos trader, Modinat Nike Dada, in her late 30s is seven months
pregnant for Funke Akindele's husband, Kehinde Oloyede, E24-7 MAGAZINE
can authoritatively reveal.

Modinat, mother of two boys and popularly known as Mama Dayo, was
formerly married to a man simply known as Dayo. Both have since
separated. The marriage crashed some years back due to irreconcilable
differences and alleged domestic abuse.

Her former hubby was a wife beater, alleged some sources.
But when the situation became life threatening she had to leave the
man and joined her elder sister, a successful clothing merchant in her
shop at Oshodi.

Her former hubby, Dayo, was a graduate of Ogun State Polytechnic,
Abeokuta. Not a few. family members were surprised to know that the
marriage did not last because they were like two inseparable lovebirds
when they were dating.

The former hubby took the two children away from her and kept them in
her mother's custody in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. Though life threw a big
storm at her, she found solace in the love and care from her immediate
siblings who were not only always around her but promptly responds to
her needs.

Modinat in her late 30s quickly picked her life up and became
industrious. She traded in some fast consuming goods which she was
selling in wholesale to retailers.

When she finally moved to her sister's shop, her path crossed with
Kehinde Oloyede, popularly known as Kendoo. Incidentally, Kendoo a
property merchant is the landlord of her sister's shop in Oshodi. He
found in her a good and amiable friend and as fate would have it, she
found herself in his arms.

Modinat and Kendoo instantly became an item and they were seen
together at some of their close friends' private parties.

The romance thickened, they shared great moments together and there
was pressure to get pregnant. Not once or twice inside sources said
the Ota, Ogun State-born trader was accompanied to several
spiritualists and gynecologists by Kendoo in their bid to seal their
romance with a baby.

Sometimes in March, she got pregnant and filled with joy, she
announced to her lover-boy, who close sources said was not ecstatic
about it.

"He practically took off, he stopped coming to her house, shunned all
entreaties and stopped picking her calls," E24-7 MAGAZINE's source
hinted.

The following month, Modinat was shocked to read in magazines and
newspapers that Kendoo wanted to marry the Return of Jenifa's star
actress, Funke Akindele. She was devastated, flustered but once again,
her family rose and stood firmly behind her.

In the last few months, Modinat has been under intense pressure to
keep her mouth sealed and advised to avoid the media. Sources close to
her confirmed that she has been inundated with calls by several people
close to the famous actress, Funke Akindele, to keep a low profile and
keep the 'family's' dirty linen away from the public.

She has been promised juicy offers if she delivers without spilling
the bean and grudgingly she has accepted. Modinat, who currently lives
in a tastefully furnished apartment in Agege area of Lagos has
accepted her fate and rejoices in the fact that the baby she is
expecting would bring joy back to her again.

Since her former hubby took her two boys away she has not set her eyes
on them, she feare Since her former hubby took her two boys away she
has not set her eyes on them, she feared the estranged hubby might
move them abroad and cut her links to them forever.

Her consolation is in the baby she's expecting to be her companion in
years to come. As it were, Funke Akindele's hubby with five kids
already is expecting in the next few months three additional children
in his harem.

His second wife, Fadekemi is in the last trimester of her pregnancy
and is due to deliver soon. Modinat will also have her baby latest in
December latest while Funke, reported to be in her first trimester is
expected to deliver mid-July 2013."

Nollywood Star : Rita Dominic Sets To Wed

Unlike Bimbo Akintola who claims to marry even at 70, Nollywood
epitome of beauty, Rita Dominic doesn't share same ideology as far as
marriage institution is concerned with her old colleagues as she is
set to say 'I Do'.

Rita recently revealed in an interview that she's getting married very
soon. The Nollywood actress said, "very soon.

You guys would get invites. Sincerely, it's very soon," this was her
word when she was asked for her plans for marriage.

Well, this is a good news for all her fans. We just hope the supposed
groom will not be coming from America like Uche Jombo. Very soon is
indefinite....

Meanwhile, the sexy screen diva is busy with the premier of her movie

WOMAN BREASTFEEDS DOG

Terri Graham, a mother of two, couldn't breastfeed her children. But,
she's now fulfilling her maternal desire in an unorthodox way — by
breastfeeding her 9-year-old daughter's dog, a pug named Spider.

In an interview published in the Oct. 20 U.K. edition of Closer
magazine, Graham, 44, said that she knows some people might consider
her a "freak," but insisted that her breastfeeding nourishes the dog,
and makes her feel like a better mom.



"Having Spider suckle on my boob means I finally feel complete and a
better mother," Graham told Closer.

Graham, who is from California, claimed that the dog developed a taste
for breast milk in 2010 after licking the nipple of a bottle she had
pumped for her then-newborn son. She says she has breastfed the dog
for about 2 years.

A photo of the article about Graham was posted to a Reddit forum
devoted to strange and outrageous news, where it quickly received more
than 2,000 "upvotes" and rose to the site's front page.

Although the comments were riddled with jokes, one user pointed out
that a British woman had reportedly breastfed her dog in 2010.

A psychologist interviewed for the magazine piece suggested that
Graham seek therapy, but stranger incidents involving canines have
occurred in the British Isles.

In July 2011, a man was charged in Ireland for violating that
country's bestiality laws after a woman died from an allergic reaction
following sex with his German shepherd.

MRS JONATHAN- I DO NOT HAVE TERMINAL ILLNESS

After several weeks of absence, the First Lady, Mrs. Patience
Jonathan, yesterday, returned to a boisterous welcome amidst tight
security at the Presidential Wing of the Abuja International Airport.
He debunked insinuations that she had a tummy tuck in a German
hospital.

A large  crowd of mostly  women, youth groups and traditional dancers,
dressed in colourful outfits welcomed her in a ceremony that was
largely restricted.


Mrs. Jonathan's welcome party was led by all female ministers and
other presidential aides at the airport.

Though she appeared to have lost some weight, she was in high spirit
as she thanked God for giving her a second chance, in an interview
conducted by Nigeria Television Authority, NTA.

She condemned those who insinuated that she was going to die like Gen.
Sani Abacha, Mrs Stella Obasanjo and President Umaru  Yar'Adua, saying
God's purpose for her still stands.

She said: "Thank God Almighty for bringing me back safely to Nigeria.
Wherever there are good people, there are also bad ones.

"There are few Nigerians that are saying whatever they like, not what
God planned because God has a plan for all of us. And God has said it
all that when two or three are gathered in His name that He will be
with them. And Nigerians gathered and prayed for me and God listened
and heard their prayers, so I thank God for that.

"At the same time I will use this opportunity to tell those few ones
that are saying that anybody that goes to Villa or Aso Rock will die.
They mentioned Abacha, they mentioned Stella Obasanjo, they mentioned
Yar'Adua and other people. But those people why didn't they mention
those ones that went there with their families and succeeded and they
still came out alive.

"We should remember that Aso Rock is the seat of power and that is
where God has ordained for Nigerians, that our leaders should rule
from and to rule us right. God is wonderful and his infinite mercy
endures.

"At the same time, I read in the media where they said I was in the
hospital. God almighty knows I have never been to that hospital, I
don't even know the hospital they mentioned.

"I have to explain what God has done for me. I do not have terminal
illness, neither did I do any cosmetic surgery, much less tummy tuck.
My husband loves me as I am and I am pleased with how God created me I
cannot add anything.

"But at the same time, I will use this opportunity to thank my beloved
husband and my children and my staff in general and all Nigerians for
standing by me during my trying times.

"God has given me a second chance to come and work with women of
Nigeria,  children and the less privileged. I have come to serve
Nigeria, I have come to work with Nigerians, I am there for them. Once
more, I am pleased to be back. I love Nigerians. They are my family."

At the Presidential Villa where she returned to the warm welcome of
her husband, children and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Eunice Jonathan and
her domestic staff at about 5 p.m, her media aide who had gone
incommunicado during the duration of her stay  suddenly became
overzealous as he harassed journalists who had sought to interview the
first lady.

He told the journalists: "No! Do you want to kill her? She has to
rest. Go to your beat, is this your beat?"

PRESIDENCY 2015: COURT DETERMINES JONATHAN'S ELIGIBILITY TODAY

An Abuja High Court sitting at Maitama, will today, determine whether
President Goodluck Jonathan is eligible or not to contest Presidency
in 2015.

It was an aggrieved member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr
Cyriacus Njoku, that approached the court, asking it to go ahead and
determine "whether Section 135(2) of the Constitution, which specifies
a period of four years in office for the President, is only available
or applicable to a person elected on the basis of an actual election
or includes one in which a person assumes the position of President by
operation of law, as in the case of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan."

Likewise, a seven-man panel of Justices of the Supreme Court has fixed
December 14, to deliver judgment on another suit seeking to nullify
the April 16 general election that brought President Jonathan to
power.


The suit was filed before the apex court by the National Democratic
Party, NDP, which is alleging that the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, violated several provisions of the Electoral Act,
2010. The party contended that the second timetable the electoral body
used for the general election was illegal, null and void.

Meantime, in his suit, Cyriacus who said he intended to vie for the
Presidency in 2015, is also urging the high court to determine
"whether Section 137(1) (b) of the Constitution, which provides that a
person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President
if he has been elected to such office at any two previous elections,
applies to the first defendant, who first took an oath of office as
substantive President on May 6, 2010 and took a second oath as
President on May 29, 2011."

He is seeking a declaration that 'the President's tenure of office
began on May 6, 2010 when his first term began and his two terms shall
end on May 29, 2015 after taking his second oath of office on May 29,
2011; and by virtue of Section 136 (1) (b) of the Constitution, no
person (including the first defendant) shall take the oath of
allegiance and the oath of office prescribed to in the Seventh
Schedule to this Constitution more than twice.

Meanwhile, both President Jonathan and the PDP, in separate
preliminary objections they filed against the suit, described it as
"frivolous and highly vexatious," saying it ought to be dismissed in
its entirety as grossly lacking in merit.

They contended that the plaintiff failed to disclose any reasonable
cause of action that precipitated the suit, insisting that Jonathan is
currently doing his first term of four years in office as the
President of Nigeria as provided by the 1999 constitution as amended.

According to the PDP, "President Jonathan's status and position is
formidably backed by the 1999 constitution. The constitution of
Nigeria only makes provisions for a president to contest for not more
than two terms of four years each. The constitution recognizes the
President's tenure of office to be four years."

PDP further maintained that Jonathan had not indicated or announced
anywhere whether in words or in writing that he would contest for the
presidential election in 2015, adding that the plaintiff lacked the
locus-standi to seek for such declarative orders against Jonathan.

Similarly, Jonathan, through his consortium of lawyers led by Chief
Ade Okeaya-Inneh, SAN, maintained that the 1999 constitution, as
amended, permits him to contest for not more than two terms of 4-years
each.

In a15-paragraph counter affidavit that was deposed on his behalf by a
lawyer, Mr Osahon Okeaya-Inneh, Jonathan said he was yet to indicate
or announce anywhere that he would contest for presidency in 2015,
just as he dismissed the suit as an academic exercise.

In the counter affidavit entered against the suit, counsel to Jonathan
averred: "I am a counsel in the law firm of Ade Okeaya-Inneh and Co.
Counsel to the 1st defendant in this suit, by virtue of which I am
conversant with the facts of this case

"I have the consent and authority of the 1stdefendant/respondent to
depose to this affidavit

"When my law firm was briefed by the 1stdefendant to represent him in
his action, I, together with Mr Mattew Aikhionbare (senior special
assistant to the President) and Dr Reuben Abati (special adviser on
media and publicity to the President) meticulously went through the
11-paragraph affidavit of the plaintiff in support of his originating
summons.

"The 1st defendant is currently doing his first term of 4 years in
office as the president of Nigeria as provided by the 1999
constitution as amended. The 1st defendant status and position is
formidably backed by the 1999 constitution.

"The constitution of Nigeria only makes provisions for a president to
contest for not more than 2 terms of 4 years each. The constitution
recognizes the Executive President's tenure of office to be 4 years.

"I was informed by Dr Reuben Abati on the April 4, 2012 at about 5.30
pm in his office and I verily believe that. 'The 1stdefendant has not
indicated or announced anywhere whether in words or in writing that he
will contest for the presidential elections to be conducted in 2015.

"The Late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua contested and won the
presidential elections conducted in 2007 for a one term of four years.
He was the president from May 29, 2007 until sometime in May 2010 when
he passed on. Yar'Adua's four years was to end in 2011."

Jonathan further told the court that on May 6, 2010, he was sworn in
as the president after the demise of the Late President Yar'Adua
thereby completing Yara'Adua's 12 months of the 4 years tenure,
stressing that this is the first time he is coming to power as the
president of Nigeria through a conducted election wherein he was voted
as the presidential candidate of his party, the PDP.

He said the plaintiff neither attached copies of his recent tax
clearance certificate from the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS,
nor his PDP membership card as proof of who he claimed to be.

Therefore, he beseeched the presidingJustice Mudashiru Onyangi to
terminate hearing on the suit he said was meant to make the court
labour in futility.

Remarkably, this is the second time the plaintiff, Njoku is dragging
President Jonathan to court with a view to thwarting his political
ambitions.

It will be recalled that he had in August 2010, attempted to stop the
PDP from allowing Jonathan to participate in the PDP presidential
primaries of January 2011.

Njoku, from Zuba Ward in Gwagwalada Area Council of Abuja and with PDP
registration number 1622735, had previously urged the court to ask the
PDP to respect its principle on zoning formula in line with Article 7.
2(c) of the party's constitution.

He had insisted that the declaration of Jonathan (third defendant) to
contest the presidency on the PDP platform was contrary to
Article7.2(c) of the 2009 Constitution of the PDP, as amended.

However, the Chief Judge of the FCT High Court, Justice Lawan Gummi
dismissed the zoning suit, thus paving way for President Jonathan to
emerge as the flag bearer of the party in the last general elections.

Photos of 37-year-old Richard Lee Norris who was given the most extensive face transplant ever performed.

University of Maryland Medical Center officials Tuesday said they've
had success in rebuilding the face of a 37-year-old Hillsville,
Virginia native who was disfigured in a 1997 gun accident.

Richard Lee Norris can eat with his mouth, taste and smell more than
seven months after a landmark 36-hour surgery this past March designed
to put his face together "in the most aesthetic manner possible,"
doctors said, noting the mug came from an unnamed donor.

In a statement released by the university, Norris said his quality of
life has exponentially improved since the March procedure, in which
doctors replaced his teeth, tongue, skin and jaws.

"For the past 15 years I lived as a recluse hiding behind a surgical
mask and doing most of my shopping at night when less people were
around," he wrote. "I am now able to walk past people and no one even
gives me a second look. My friends have moved on with their lives,
starting families and careers.

"I can now start working on the new life given back to me."

Dr. Eduardo D. Rodriguez, who led the operation which more than 100
health professionals added their expertise to, said Norris has
exceeded his expectations and shown great courage and commitment in
his battle.

The groundbreaking surgical procedure could be applied to future
operations on injured servicemen, officials said.

Man parades His manhood to mother-in-law to prove he is man enough

A man protested eviction from his in-law's flat located in Bulawayo
city centre last Tuesday by allegedly stripping naked, parading his
sexual anaconda to his mother-in-law.

Thulumani Tshuma is accused of dropping his trousers and underwear for
his mother-in-law, Lydia Ntaisi in protest of the eviction news.
Ntaisi who is mother to Tshuma's live-in
girlfriend had gone to enforce an eviction which had been ordered by
her husband – to tell their daughter Estelly Nkiwane and her man to
pack their property and hand over the keys.

Nkiwane and Tshuma have been cohabiting at an apartment belonging to
the former's family. This has been reportedly going on for the past
three years without the approval of the
Nkiwanes.

"Tshuma has been cohabiting with my daughter since 2009 and we were
beginning to appreciate him as our son-in-law although he lacked the
humanity and courtesy to initiate traditional formalities between us
and his family. My husband has never set foot at our flat because he
respectsthe privacy of our daughter. However, we have informed them
(Nkiwane and Tshuma) several times that we intend to renovate the
apart hence they should look for alternative accommodation but they
have never heeded our message," Ntaisi said.

She added that contractors were expected to start working on the flat
on Sunday as such her husband instructed her to go and tell them to
pack 'immediately'.

"When I got to 6th Avenue, I phoned my daughter but her phone went
unanswered. I wanted her to come downstairs so that I can have a word
with her. I was left with no choice but to go up the stairs. I was
welcomed by Tshuma who told me that his live-in girlfriend was not
around. I then delivered the seemingly unpalatable news to him and he
burnt in emotion and shouted what!," she said. Ntaisi added:

"He plainly told me to go back home and think twice about the news
that I had just delivered and I should admit that in the process I
lost my marbles and ended up telling him to be man enough and seek
accommodation for his family."

Probably in attempt to show his mother-in-law that he was man enough,
Tshuma allegedly dropped both his jean trousers and underwear to
expose his 'live and kicking' manhood.

According to a tenant at the flat, Ntaisi was heard screaming and
running down the stairs. "We heard her (Ntaisi) screaming and went out
to inspect what was happening and only to find Estelly's husband naked
in the corridor," Elvis Machirori said.

Ntaisi went down hurling insults and stopped briefly to narrate her
ordeal to vendors close to Tredgold magistrates' building. So
temperamental was she that in the process of
telling her story she broke down in tears, before phoning her daughter
informing her that she was going to make a report at Bulawayo central
police station.

Tshuma confirmed to our news crew that there was a misunderstanding
between his mother-in- law and himself but denied exposing his 'sperm
sprinkler'.

"She came and shouted and I humbly told her that I needed to be
respected because I am also a man," he said before hanging up the
phone. Nkiwane's two brothers were not pleased by the news, as a
result they went and allegedly assaulted Tshuma before throwing him
out of the flat.

US AMBASSADOR - NIGERIANS CAN NOW SECURE AMERICAN VISA WITHIN 20 DAYS

This is good news for Nigerians wishing to travel to the United States
– and you can bet there are a whole lot of them – as it has been
revealed that they can now secure the American visa within 20 days,
and not 150 days anymore.

This was made known by the United States ambassador to Nigeria, His
Excellency Terence McCulley, during an exclusive interview with
LEADERSHIP. According to him, "We recognise that the visa is an
important part of our relationship and we have every interest in
facilitating legitimate travel visas of students, people and tourists
who want to travel to the US as part of dynamic series of exchanges
between both countries."

The ambassador attributed this to the hard work of the consular
offices in both Abuja and Lagos. Both offices have been able to manage
what is a very significant increase in work load without a concomitant
increase in human or physical resources to manage the interviews that
are being undertaken, he added.

Over the past years there had been a huge increase in demand for the
US visa by Nigerians which led to a significant wait time to secure a
visa interview. This, unfortunately, had permitted middle men and
touts to grab appointments and then resell them, he said: "By reducing
the time Nigerians have to wait to secure a visa, we hope to eliminate
these people who are profiting on the gullibility of visa applicants
and we hope to be able to offer better services," he said.

PHOTOS: World’s oldest dad, 96, boasts of sexual ability, welcomed second son with his wife half his age

Indian man Ramajit Raghav became the world's oldest father when his
first son was born in 2010.

Earlier this month, he claimed he had broken his own record. He said
when his wife gave birth to their second son, doctors laughed when he
claimed to be the boy's father. "They were very surprised," Mr Raghav
said.

He attributed his virility to a healthy lifestyle, eating lots of
fruit and dairy products and having sex three or four times a night.
"My neighbours are jealous and they keep asking me for my secret, but
all I tell them is that it is God's will," he said.

"I think it's very important for a husband and wife to have sex
regularly and when she asks I will go on all night, but for the sake
of my child I've put our needs aside for now."

The strict vegetarian and former wrestler said his daily diet included
two litres of milk, fresh vegetables and chapattis (Indian flat
bread).

Mr Raghav met his wife Shankuntala Devi sitting next to a Muslim
shrine 22 years ago when he asked her to come home with him.

"She didn't have any family or friends around, and I wanted to help

Kanye West "reportedly" took to his Facebook page to tell the world
that he and his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian are about to have a 'Wild
Night'.

after he reportedly attacked a female photographer for daring to a if
Kim Kardashian congratulated her ex boyfriend, Reggie Bush, who is
about to become a father for the first time.

Reggie and his girlfriend Lilit Avagyan, who announced last week that
they are expecting their first child together, bumped in to Kanye and
Kim at upscale steak house Prime 112 in
Miami.

Kanye flew into a fit of rage when the camerawoman outside of the
eatery asked the singer if he congratulated Bush, clenching his teeth,
he walked right up to woman and grabbed her camera.

Kim was reported to be sad Reggie decided to start a family another
person, who happens to be her look-alike, after they broke up despite
all her efforts to start a family with him.
Kim and Reggie dated on and off for two years and came close to marriage.

According to radaronlien.com: 'Kim is very upset. Kim had pressured
Reggie for a very long time to get married while they were together
because she wanted to have a family
with him. 'Reggie just thought that Kim placed too much of a priority
on her fame and reality television though and he wanted none of it.

'Reggie was a part of the Kardashian family for over five years and
deep down Kim has always held out hope that they would end up
together, even though she married Kris Humphries.' The insider said it
felt like 'a slap in the face' to Kim that Reggie would consider
having a baby with another woman when he wouldn't with her.

Tinubu launches final attack, says he’s different from Anenih

Focus: Ondo Guber, News LEADER of the Action Congress of Nigeria ACN
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday launched a final attack on Governor
Segun Mimiko describing him as
an ingrate and a serial betrayer even as he disclaimed any aspiration
towards fitting into Chief Obafemi Awolowo's shoes.

At a rally in Akure to round off the party's rallies ahead of this
weekend's gubernatorial election, Tinubu declared "I am not fighting
for the shoes of Awolowo it is too big for me. I am not fighting for
Awolowo cap.

He has taken both away." Tinubu also took time to castigate the
incumbent governor Olusegun Mimiko describing him as an ingrate whom
he helped but later dumped him.

Quoting from the Holy Bible what will happen to those who are
ingrates, Tinubu insisted that he bankrolled the expenses incurred by
Mimiko at the election petition tribunal.

He said that Mimiko betrayed his two predecessors in office, Adebayo
Adefarati, Olusegun Agagu and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Tinubu however said that he was not surprised that Mimiko is denying
that he collected money from him when he was in
the trenches.

He asked the people of the state to ""drive Mimiko out of Ondo state

godfather. My own godfather is not that of Anthony Anenih in Edo
state. Mine is for the development and progress of South West states.

the South West states for progress and development.

He reiterated the need for Ondo State to join other states in the
region to make integration of the region a success. The National
Chairman of the party Chief Bisi Akande displayed a red card saying
indication that Mimiko has been ejected from the state.

The candidate of the party, Rotimi Akeredolu called for a three day
prayer and fasting starting from Wednesday for the success of the
party at the poll. Akeredolu promised to liberate the people of the
state from poverty if voted into power and promised to turn the
southern part of the state to a tourism centre.

I’m not having issues with Kenny Ogungbe and Eedris. – Jaywon

Oluwajuwonlo came into the limelight courtesy that popular song,
'Fi-Le-Be'. That song made Kenny Ogungbe to sign him. Juwon, who
recently returned from a musical world tour, opened up on his life and
career to Tijani Adegbola.

Enjoy Your song is making waves currently on radio stations; could you
tell us more about it?

The title of the song is called 'Afuruginanya'. I featured Flavour in
it. Actually, the song was in my latest album. But we just need to
start promoting it. Each song has its strength. My team believes that
this is the right time we have to spread our tentacles with the song
because a lot of our fans are asking for it.

What is the secret behind you doing the song with Flavour?
I think the industry is missing Jaywon. My fans have been waiting for
the right song to dance to .

Currently, this is the song. What we are doing is to continue
spreading the song so that people would continue showing us love.

You have been on the low key since you released 'Reloaded' album, what
have you been doing?

I've been on tour. We've been travelling from one country to the
other. I was in United States of America for two months. I was in
Dallas Texas, DC and other places. I've been away.

But presently, Jaywon is back for real. I've been going from one
studio to another to record new songs. While doing that, I realized
that 'Afurumginanya' has started picking up.

A lot of your fans are accessing you to be at the same standard with
Mavin All-Star. When are you doing duet with either Wande Coal or any
artiste from Mavin Record?

I'm talking to Wande Coal about doing a song together, my fans should
just calm down. We are working on collaboration with a lot of
artistes. That of Wande Coal would still happen but not now. We are
still on it. It would come to reality.

What I'm doing now is to do something different from the regular songs.

There has been this rumour that Jaywon is having problem with Kennis Music?

Jaywon doesn't have problem with Kennis Music. I'm still a Kennis
Music artiste. I'm not having issues with Baba Keke. Kenny Ogungbe is
my father.

What about Eedris Abdulkareem?

I'm not having issues with Eedris Abdulkareem. But don't get it
twisted, Jaywon is different from Eedris Abdulkareem. Jaywon is
Jaywon. The only thing that brings us together is Kenny Ogungbe and
Kennis Music.

The song you did with your label mates, Joel and Eedris Abdulkareem,
how did you come up with that concept?

I wrote the song myself. It is an idea from the street. The video was
directed by Skills of former JJC Squad. Joel and Eedris did a
fantastic job on it.

What has been the strength bringing Joel, Goldie, Minjin, Essence,
Eedris and KSB together as a family under Kenny Ogungbe?

It is something that is not very easy. I mean, to start living with
people that you don't share father and mother with; and you keep the
relationship like a family. We have a good
father, Kenny Ogungbe who advises us a lot. He made us to realize that
the best thing that would make us grow is to stay together as one.

Ladies always die to date you, could you tell us your life with women generally?

I would be deceiving everyone if I say I don't have a lady. I have a
girlfriend. But if I say I don't have any girl, I'm just deceiving
you.

NYSC REJECTS THREE ILLITERATE GRADUATES OF ESUT

Three "graduates" of Enugu State University of Science and Technology
mobilised to participate in the National Youth Service Corps scheme
have shown lack of competence and intelligence level expected of
genuine degree holders, Blueprint learnt last night.

In education circles, questions are being asked over the competence of
the university and indeed other institutions of learning.


The three corps members are: Nwankwo Elias Chukwuebuka, a graduate of
BSc Electrical/Electronics, with code number NG/11B/1660 and a NYSC
call-up number NYSC/EST/2011/1777093; Mbah Linda Akunna, a graduate of
BSc Electricals/Electronics with code number LA/11B/5245, a call-up
number EST/2011/178882 and matriculation number ESUT/2005/96998, and
Okochi Adaeze Kate, a graduate of Geography/Meteorology, with code
number AD/12B/0389, call-up number EST/2012/148292 and matriculation
number ESUT/2006/10400.

According to documents obtained by Blueprint, the three "graduates,"
who are serving in Niger, Lagos and Adamawa states respectively, were
rejected, with formal letters sent to the state coordinators by their
areas of primary assignment and forwarded to the NYSC headquarters in
Abuja.

The national headquarters, in a August 29, 2012 letter signed by the
Director General of NYSC, N.T. Okore-Affia, had informed the NUC of
the presence of corps members who displayed "glaring lack of academic
ability and intelligence level expected of genuine Nigerian graduates,
which were consistently exhibited by the three students from the Enugu
State University of Science and Technology."

Attaching copies of letters from NYSC secretariats in Niger, Adamawa
and Lagos, Okore-Affia noted: "As contained in the reports, the corps
members exhibited signs of incompetence and low intelligence level
which range from inability to complete registration formats correctly
to not being able to teach pupils at nursery school level. These
inadequacies led to their rejections by their employers in their
various states of deployment."

The case, according to an insider's account, has baffled the National
Universities Commission (NUC) and prompted the setting up of a
committee to "verify the integrity of the degrees," and find out if
there was collaboration by the university.

Federal education authorities are suspecting a wide-ranging scam that
might have been going on for years.

To unravel how the three corps members were mobilised, the NUC has
already set up a panel, comprising officials of NYSC, Joint Admissions
and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the State Security Service (SSS).

The mandate of the panel, according to a letter dated September 24,
2012 signed by NUC Director of Quality Assurance, Professor C.F.
Mafiana, "is to fully investigate the report with a view to
identifying the culprits, including others similarly mobilised and
their collaborators, and ensuring sanctions accordingly. The team
would be chaired by a visiting professor in the NUC."

Out of the three corps members, Okochi could hardly write the Roman
figures from one to 10 in words, just as she could not write three
states and their capitals. She could not provide the names of two
major rivers in Nigeria, just as she failed to name three countries
that share border with Nigeria.

Akunna, according to the documents, was rejected by Kings College,
Lagos, after it was discovered that she was grossly incompetent to
perform her duties.

A further test on her by the Lagos state NYSC secretariat revealed
that though a graduate of Electricals/Electronics, she never passed
any of the science subjects at the secondary school level.

The third fellow, Chukwuebuka, who was posted to Niger state, was
rejected by a nursery/primary school known as FEMA Schools because of
his inability to read and write.

Having been rejected by two employers, he had to be reposted by Niger
state NYSC to a bakery, pending the final determination of his case by
the NYSC national headquarters.

When queried on his incompetence, Chukwuebuka proved his incompetence
when he responded in writing: "I awarded a degree in Enugu State
University of Science and Technology I have a probeam in my university
am manegn my siefe to funsh my school."

A source disclosed last night that members of the panel would soon
commence probing the circumstances under which the "graduates" were
released by the university to participate in the NYSC scheme.

Latest : CHILDREN WHO STUDY BOOKS AT THE AGE OF FOUR HELPS BOOST THE BRAIN IN LATER LIFE

Children whose homes are filled with books don't just have the fun of
being read to. They also enjoy the benefits years later.

A study has found that if just ten children's books are to hand when a
child is four, a part of their brain involved in language and thought
matures more quickly by the age of 18 or 19.

Access to educational toys and trips to the zoo and amusement parks also help.

However, if introduced at the age of eight, these books and treats
seem to have little impact on the brain, suggesting the age of four is
a critical time in its development, the Society for Neuroscience's
annual conference in New Orleans heard.

The University of Pennsylvania study comes amid concern that
youngsters are abandoning books in favour of TV and computer games.

Lead author Brian Avants said: 'These findings underscore the human
brain's sensitivity to its early environment. They provide powerful
evidence that even relatively minor variations within the normal range
of home experience can affect brain development over a lifetime.'

MTN AMBASSADOR, NKEM OWOH 'OSUOFIA' HUMILIATES POOR WIDOW, SENDS THUGS TO SNATCH HER LAND, THREATENS HER LIFE

Mrs Ayogu with her children in the Demolished building

When we first exclusively reported last week that popular Nollywood
actor, Nkem Owoh better known as Osuofia was in a land tussle with a
poor and helpless widow, not many believed us.

Mrs Ayogu has now petitioned the Enugu State police commissioner.
According to a copy of the petitioned Nigeriafilms.com retrieved, Mrs
Ayogu alleged that Osuofia is trying to use his popularity and some
forces in the Nigerian police to humiliate and force her to forgo her
only asset, which was the land her late husband left for her and the
children.

Nigeriafilms.com contacted Mrs Ayogu on the matter. She confirmed to
Nigeriafilms.com that Osuofia is trying to force her part ways with
her land. She also to us that the actor, who is an MTN ambassador,
sent some thugs to pull down the structure she had already put on the
land.

When we tried to put a call through to Osuofia to get his side of the
story, his known numbers were not going through as they were not
reachable as at press time. An advocacy foundation, Zaraha Women has
already taken up the case.

A copy of the petition written by the woman is presented below.

The Commissioner of Police

Enugu

Dear Sir.

WILLFUL DESTRUCTION OF MY HOUSE @ PLOT 11 EMEHELUAKU LAYOUT, TRANS
EKULU ENUGU BY MR NKEM OWOH (OSUOFIA) AND HIS AGENTS

I know that you have a listening ear and would hear the cry of an
oppressed and helpless widow. I know that your intervention will
enable me get justice from those who think they are stronger than me.
I believe that my cry to you for help will not return without getting
the proper assistance.

I woke up in the morning of Monday October 1, 2012 only to hear that a
house I am building to provide shelter for my little children at Plot
11 Emeheluaku Layout, Trans Ekulu, Enugu, has been destroyed by Mr
Nkem Owoh (also known as Osuofia) and his agents.

Like thieves, they came at night to rob me of the only possession I am
saving to be home for my children in the future. When neighbours
called me to give me this information, I thought it was not true but
on getting to the site, my heart broke as I saw my labours and toils
and savings and sacrifices of several years completely destroyed by a
man who have for sometime been persuading me to part with the said
plot of land.

My encounter with Mr Nkem Owoh began shortly after my husband, Mr Ben
Ayogu died in December, 2004, just months after we purchased this plot
of Land.

Being a teacher, I had saved with my husband to buy this particular
plot of land and we were already making plans to build on it when the
cold hands of death stole him from me, leaving me to look after our
very little children, the oldest of whom was just five (five) years
old then.

After mourning my husband, I discovered that there were some missing
documents from our apartment, the most important of which was the
documents for this plot of land. I raised the alarm then and when
nobody came forth with information on its whereabouts, I quickly ran
to the Nigeria Police Station at Abakpa Junction here in Enugu to make
a report.

I also went to the Ministry of Lands, where, armed with the police
extract, I was able to obtain the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the
property. But not long after, Mr Nkem Owoh appeared, claiming
ownership of the land. I tried to inform him that I had neither sold
the land nor authorized its sale to anybody but he insisted the plot
belonged to him.

The matter continued to drag between us until it got to a point when
he began to ask that we settle. Having not sold the land and having no
intention to sell the land, I told him there was nothing to settle. He
persuaded me with all manner of offers, including that of paying extra
money to motivate me to relinquish the land but I said no.

Sir, this plot of land is perhaps the only major valuable I was able
to invest in with my husband and we did it then because we wanted a
proper home for our children. Even now, as I struggle to bring them
up, this land remains the only valuable property that we have.

So when Mr Nkem Owoh felt he was not succeeding in persuading me to
part with this land, he began to use threats and on several occasions
said he was going to forceful take possession of the land and vowed
that since I claimed God will fight for me, that I had better bring
down my Creator when the chips are down.

Each time he comes to meet me, he usually came with a retinue of
dangerous looking thugs but I was never to be cowed into giving him
the only property I am leaving for my children.

Because my salary was barely enough to pay our rent, pay for the
school fees of the children and provide for their upkeep, I felt it
was proper to construct a house no matter how small on the land so
that we can move in and thus begin to save what we were using to pay
house rents.

Thus I began construction four years ago (in 2008). I was slowly
building this potential home of ours because my income was not large
enough for speedy construction. I had to even take a loan to enable us
finish and park in this year.

Sir, this building had been practically completed. I had roofed the
house and was about hanging the doors and windows, having also
installed the frames when Nkem Owoh and his agents struck, bringing
the entire structure, my four years of labour to ordinary rubble.

I have nowhere else to go except to your esteemed office. I am a poor
widow. I have no other source of help except from God and from public
spirited people like you.

When I saw the damage done to this property of mine, I ran to the
Trans Ekulu Police Station where I was rebuffed by an officer who,
even without investigating the matter, concluded that Nkem Owoh is not
a trouble maker and could never have done such evil. This officer
refused my entreaties and sent me away, saying Police do not treat
land matters. But sir, this is not just a land matter. It is a
criminal destruction of property.

I left heart-broken. He WILLFULLY destroyed all I labored for. He did
it because he is rich and perhaps popular enough to act his way out of
justice.

I cry to you knowing what you have done in the past to help helpless
people like me. I cry to you because someone is trying to forcefully
take my property from me. I cry to you because I trust in your
willingness, disposition and capacity to give justice to the
oppressed.

My confidence is high, knowing that you shall help us find justice. I
therefore kindly pray that you use your good office to cause that this
criminal destruction of my house be handed over to another police
station or team, especially since the Trans Ekulu Police have shown
very clear prejudice at thievery onset.

My life and those of my children are also in danger. Nkem Owoh, a man
society should look up to for good examples had severally threatened
to deal with me for my refusal to let him take my land.

He had stated he would deal with me. And seeing the crowd of horrible
looking thugs he keeps company with, I feel really threatened. A man
capable of destroying such a property has the capacity to destroy just
about anything standing in the way of him having his way.

Attached are the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the property given to me
by the State Ministry of Lands; the police extract of my report and
the picture of the building.

Thank you very much for your anticipated speedy intervention in this matter.

Very Truly Yours

I was teased by my family and friends about my flat "pancake" booty.
Apryl Michelle Brown had always been insecure about her backside.

Once she got enough money, she told herself, she'd buy herself a
better one. "I didn't know if I wanted to look like Janet Jackson or
J. Lo," the Los Angeles cosmetologist, 46, says in an exclusive
interview featured in the November
issue of ESSENCE magazine.

In 2004, Brown says she paid a "pumper," an unlicensed person, to
inject industrial-grade silicone into her buttocks. Brown can't recall
how much the woman actually charged — maybe $500, maybe $1,000 — but
over time, she says, the area became intensely irritated and painful,
and the skin blackened.

By early 2006 she says the silicone had hardened, causing severe pain
and infection, ultimately requiring her to have lifesaving amputation
of her limbs last year.

Now adjusting to her new life with prosthetics, Brown shares her story
— and her warning for others tempted to check out "pumping parties" —
with writer Amy Elisa Keith in ESSENCE.

"I was left here for a purpose," she says. "I have to get the word
out so that nobody else makes this choPl !! Lesson for the Ladies !!

Four farmers Commit suicide over flood disaster in Kogi

ABUJA- Four farmers in Kogi State have committed suicide as a result
of losses they incurred due to flood just as thousands of others have
been displaced.

President Goodluck Jonathan who disclosed this yesterday in Yenagoa,
Bayelsa State capital while undertaking a tour of the areas affected
by flood encouraged the Internally Displaced People, IDPs, in Bayelsa
State not to give up hope, assuring that the Federal Government was
committed to rehabilitating them.

He stated this in one of IDPs camps at Samson Siasia stadium, Yenagoa,
Bayelsa State Speaking in Yenagoa, President Jonathan said,

"In Kogi State, four farmers committed suicide because they borrowed
money from the bank to buy seeds and flood came and destroyed it. So
because they were scared they committed
suicide.

I was also in a place in Kogi, where a storey building was under water.

"People that are not in IDP are the people always struggling for
relief materials. This flood is all over the world, Asia, Europe, I
know that Nigeria flooding is bad. And when we have. such disaster
food is not the problem, do not make food your priority.

"If you eat once, thank God, I know that none of you would die of
hunger here. Before the middle of November, the water would have
receded."

Austrian Man daredevil jumps from edge of space

Just call him Fearless Felix!

After five years of preparation, Felix Baumgartner successfully leapt
from the edge of space Sunday.

As millions watched on television and the Internet, the Austrian
skydiver jumped from a space capsule tethered to a 55-story helium
balloon after it reached the altitude of 127,000 feet.


It took two hours and 20 minutes to ascend to the height of the jump,
and just five minutes for Baumgartner to descend.

Baumgartner wore a pressurized astronaut-like suit. He was supported
by a NASA-style mission control operation called Red Bull Stratos at
an airfield in Roswell, New Mexico, with 300 engineers, scientists and
physicians.

Were testing new space suits, escape concepts, and treatment protocols
for pressure loss at extreme altitudes, Red Bull Stratos medical
director, Dr. Jonathan Clark, who formerly oversaw the health of space
shuttle crews at NASA, told The New York Times.

There are so many things that could go wrong here that were pushing
the technical envelope.

Fortunately, nothing did go wrong. Congratulations!
