ACN - TUNDE BAKARE PUSHED BUHARI TO FAILURE WITH AMBITION

Action Congress of Nigeria governorship candidate in the coming Ondo
State election has accused Congress for Progressive Change, Vice
President Candidate in the 2011 Presidential election, Pastor Tunde
Bakare of "pushing" General Muhammadu Buhari to failure during the
election.

In a statement issues by the Director of Media, Publicity and Strategy
of Akeredolu's group, Idowu Ajanaku, said Bakare "is notorious for
being on the losing side. He supported Gen. Muhammad Buhari in the
last presidential election and pushed the much loved man with his
ambition to become vice president until their party lost woefully.
Nobody will take him serious, a man who has abused respected men of
God in the land. How many of his predictions have come to pass. He
predicted that Obasanjo will not become president in 1999 but the man
ended up spending eight years in office."

He spoke as the Convener of Save Nigeria Group (SNG), Pastor Tunde
Bakare said the proposed regional integration in the South West should
not be a partisan agenda, noting that the interest of the people
should be considered first before that of any political party.

Bakare who predicted that Governor Olusegun Mimiko would win "hands
down" and "nothing will happen" afterwards spoke in Lagos in reference
to the plan by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to win the
governorship election in Ondo State towards regional integration of
the South West. He said the idea that only one political party could
integrate the region economically was borne out of "colonial thinking"
which was to the common people's detriment.

THE GAMBIA PRESIDENT CLAIMS CURE FOR HIV

The Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has said that dozens of HIVand AIDS
patients in the tiny West African state have been cured using his
secret concoction of boiled herbs, Reuters reports.

Jammeh first announced he had found a natural remedy to cure HIV and
AIDS in 2007, stirring anger among Western medical experts who claimed
he was giving false hope to the sick.

"Who am I to expect that everybody would praise me,'' Jammeh said in a
state television broadcast on Sunday evening, announcing that 68
patients had been cured and discharged from a treatment centre.

"Just as the Prophet Mohammed prevailed and established Islam, I have
also prevailed to cure HIV/AIDS to the point that 68 are being
discharged today,'' he said.

The World Health Organisation and the UN have said Jammeh's HIV/AIDS
treatment is alarming mainly because patients are required to cease
their anti-retroviral drugs making them more prone to infection.

The president said the cured group was the seventh batch of HIV/AIDS
patients undergoing his herbal remedy to have been discharged since
the treatments began five years ago.

Jammeh came to power in The Gambia, a sliver of land on Africa's west
coast that is popular with sun-seeking European tourists, in a
bloodless military coup in 1994.

He is accused by activists of human rights abuses during his rule, and
recently drew international criticism for executing nine death row
inmates by firing squad.

Jammeh said on Sunday that his government would fully integrate
"natural medicine'' to all the country's hospitals, to complement
Western medical techniques.

Other African leaders have drawn criticism for extolling the power of
natural remedies to combat AIDS.

PROFESSOR STRIPS NAKED IN CALCULUS CLASS

Michigan State University students had an unconventional math class
last week Monday after a 57 year old Mathematics professor, John
McCarthy reportedly stripped naked in Calculus 1 class and began
screaming that "there is no f****ing God" and "It's all an act and
none of it's real."

In the age of laptop computers, the most surprising thing is that the
students noticed and looked up from their computers. Presumably one
student asked the standard question of "will this be on the test?"

Witnesses said that McCarthy was going through a routine derivative
equation when he started to talk about his colleagues and how "they're
all actors." He added that "It's all an act and none of it's real."

According to a freshman, Kyle Hillman who was in the Calculus class,
the professor had earlier ranted some words; "Math is all about
questions and answers. And Steve Jobs invented the computer, but what
do computers do? They ask questions and we answer them."

Hillman said after the professor finished swearing about God and
religion, he pulled a $1 bill from his wallet, waved it a few times,
then ran out of the class.

"I had to leave the class. It was pretty terrifying."

McCarthy ranted naked down the hall of the school's Engineering
Building according to multiple witness account.

Hillman recalled McCarthy has been a little off since the beginning of
the class.

"Earlier in the class on Monday, he made a mistake and said, 'I'm
sorry. I say sorry a lot. People say I say sorry too much. I should
probably stop saying it'".

Campus police placed McCarthy in protective custody and later
transported him to a local hospital.

John McCarthy holds a bachelor's, two master's, and doctoral degree in
Mathematics.

Brilliance is sometimes accompanied with mental issues; McCarthy
obviously had a psychological meltdown. He was arrested but not
charged with a crime. He could certainly be charged with indecent
exposure but hopefully the police would show discretion and let him
be.

As difficult as it would be for McCarthy to go back to the classroom,
the faculty would really help and support him by treating his strip as
a case of mental illness, allow him seek help, but not fire him. I
would also hope that the faculty treats this matter as a mental
illness and allows McCarthy to seek treatment rather than simply fire
him.

Meanwhile, the school has not released any statement on how the matter
would be treated, but sources say some members of the management
believes the matter should be treated as a misconduct. In the
meantime, the school has merely reassigned his classes and would take
no further action just yet. Lol ooooooooooooo

YINKA AYEFELE'S N200M HOME IN OYO STATE TO BE DEMOLISH

The sensational singer, Yinka Ayefele got a rude shocker yesterday
morning when he learnt that his N200m building will be pulled down by
the Oyo State Government.
According to his publicist, Ayefele was not given any prior notice
about the demolition and he was shocked to hear about it this
yesterday morning.

The ibadan based singer, Ayefele went ahead to church and later went
to perform at an event as if nothing happened but many people have
continued to criticize Gov Ajimobi for his demolition policies.

His publicist writes, "This N200million edifice has in its belly, two
magnificent halls, an internet radio station, a standard studio and
several offices. It also provides job for about 100 people and that
places it among top employers of labor in Oyo State. This is Yinka
Ayefele Music House that has being marked for demolition by Oyo State
government.

From the government quarters, "The government wants to expand the road
to an 8-lane road being proposed by the state government. The road and
the house will be affected and there is nothing anybody can do about
it."
