President Jonathan Releases Early Statement On Electoral Defeat
Fellow Nigerians,
I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections.
I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word. I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure.
Although some people have expressed mixed feelings about the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), I urge those who may feel aggrieved to follow due process based on our constitution and our electoral laws, in seeking redress.
As I have always affirmed, nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else.
I congratulate all Nigerians for successfully going through the process of the March 28th General Elections with the commendable enthusiasm and commitment that was demonstrated nationwide.
I also commend the Security Services for their role in ensuring that the elections were mostly peaceful and violence-free.
To my colleagues in the PDP, I thank you for your support. Today, the PDP should be celebrating rather than mourning. We have established a legacy of democratic freedom, transparency, economic growth and free and fair elections.
For the past 16 years, we have steered the country away from ethnic and regional politics. We created a Pan-Nigerian political party and brought home to our people the realities of economic development and social transformation.
Through patriotism and diligence, we have built the biggest and most patriotic party in Nigerian history. We must stand together as a party and look to the future with renewed optimism.
I thank all Nigerians once again for the great opportunity I was given to lead this country and assure you that I will continue to do my best at the helm of national affairs until the end of my tenure.
I have conveyed my personal best wishes to General Muhammadu Buhari.
May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I thank you all.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President,
Federal Republic of Nigeria

Fayose Praises Buhari
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has urged Nigerians to accept the outcome of Saturday’s presidential election in good faith, saying; “the election result is the will of God and Nigerians, and all lovers of peace, progress and development of Nigeria must accept it”.
Mr. Fayose, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, hailed the resilience and commitment of President Goodluck Jonathan and Mohammadu Buhari.
The governor said the election results should not been seen as victory or loss for any political party, adding that, “To me, Nigerians and democracy won.”
He praised Nigerians for believing in the democratic process, adding that “by this election, Nigerians have shown that Democracy has come to stay in the country”.
The governor said, “I salute Nigerians, especially the great people of Ekiti State.
“I salute President Jonathan for laying the most solid foundation for democracy in Nigeria. And I salute Major General Buhari for being a resilience and dogged fighter.
“I urge Nigerians, irrespective of their ethic, religious and political affiliation to respect the outcome of the election in the interest of peace, progress and development of the country.
“Nigeria as a country is greater than any individual or group and it is my plea that no one should do anything to rock the boat of peace in the country

We directed our members that everyone should conduct himself within democratic norms and principles. That is all we have to say about that." he said

“It sounds to me like you should stay away from the blogs because they will screw you every time.”I’m so busy right now that I just don’t have a lot of time to offer to a man so it wouldn’t even be fair to be thinking of pulling somebody else into this life.But if I did, he would have to be man enough to live with my schedule and not get scared.”

Muhammad Ali 'TEAM PACQUIAO'
"The Greatest" has picked a side in the fight of the century -- with Muhammad Ali's daughter telling TMZ Sports, "My dad is Team Pacquiao all the way!" We spoke with Rasheda Ali -- who's very close with her dad -- and she tells us, "My dad really likes Manny. He's a huge fan of his." "He knows Manny's a great fighter ... but it's more about what he does outside the ring. He's such a charitable person." Rasheda says Manny and her father have been friends for years -- and he even came to Muhammad's 70th birthday party back in 2012. As for Floyd Mayweather, Rasheda tells us her dad respects him as a fighter -- but says he and Muhammad are two VERY different people. "My dad stood for things. Mayweather ... I don't think there's a comparison." Unfortunately, Muhammad won't be attending the fight in Vegas ... but Rasheda says he wouldn't miss it for the world. "There's no question he's going to order it. It takes my dad way back to when he was fighting."

17 Jokes We'll Never Forget From the Justin Bieber Roast
Yesterday night was the big night--some of Hollywood's funniest stars were going to go in on Justin Bieber. And that's exactly what they did (as well as go in on each other!). Kevin Hart, Jeff Ross, Natasha Leggero, Pete Davidson, Martha Stewart, Shaquille O'Neal, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris and even Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) were apart of the pre-taped Comedy Central Roast that aired Monday night, and while they all made us laugh until we actually felt a six-pack forming, they also dished some disses that shocked us. What's comedy without a few oh no they didn't moments? But seriously, they didn't hold back. Unfortunately, we couldn't list all of the funny, harsh, OMG-did-they-really-say-that, LOL-worthy one-liners here, because that would've taken all night, but we did pluck a few gems out for you in case you want to experience the hilarity that occurred tonight. You're welcome. 1. "Do your hermaphrodite twerk,"--Kevin Hart 2. "It's an honor to be at a roast hosted by Shaq's dick,"--Pete Davidson 3. "Is it true you dumped [Selena Gomez] because she grew a mustache before you?"--Jeffrey Ross 4. "[Kevin Hart] is just like Bill Cosby. Women can't feel when he's inside of them,"--Snoop Dogg 5. "Justin's fan are called beliebers because it's politically incorrect to use the word retards,"--Natasha Legerro 6. "Shaq is cool though. Shaq has shattered 8 backboards and 79 cervixes,"--Pete Davidson 7. "Kevin, you are everywhere. He is going to be on the next season of Game of Thrones. He's going to play Peter Dinklage's shadow,"--Natasha Legerro 8. "Ebola patients hear about 'Bieber fever' and say, 'I'm gonna go ahead and ride this one out,'"--Kevin Hart 9. "Justin, Selena Gomez had to f--k you. She is literally the least lucky Selena in all of entertainment history,"--Natasha Legerro 10. "You have it all ... Except love, friends, good parents, and a Grammy,"--Chris D'Elia 11. "No wonder he's got moves, he was In the womb trying to dodge a coat hanger,"--Natasha Legerro 12. "Justin, I'm sure it's great to have 60 million followers on Twitter, but the only place people will be following you in jail is into the shower,"--Martha Stewart 13. "If Anne Frank heard your music, she would Uber to Aushwitz,"--Jeffrey Ross 14. "Snoop, you look like Shaq's skeleton,"--Natasha Legerro 15. "This kid has spunk, moxie, and a few other STDs,"--Ron Burgundy 16. "The Brazilian prostitute that claimed she was with Justin told the news that he was well-endowed. And that prostitute would know because so was he,"--Ludacris 17. "What do you get when you give a teenager $200 million? A bunch of has-beens calling you a lesbian for two hours,"--Justin Bieber
French Montana I Was Just Sippin' Ciroc On Diddy's
French Montana was not under the influence of alcohol when he was photographed drinking Ciroc from the bottle while cruising on one of Diddy's Sea-Doos ... so claim people close to the rapper. As we previously reported ... French was in Miami Beach Saturday, catching some rays and drinking vodka. It's not illegal in Florida to drink while boating, but it IS illegal to drink to the point that the driver is impaired. Although our French sources insist he "was not f***** up," Khloe posted a pic around the same time showing her crew -- including French -- on Diddy's roof with the caption, "The Ciroc made us do it!! #StepIntoTheCircle."

U.N. Secretary-General Congratulates Nigeria On Largely Peaceful Voting Process
Families of people who lost their lives in Nigeria may not agree with this but The United Nations seems to think Nigeria had a peaceful election this past weekend. Read what U.N Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had to say below.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Sunday praised the Nigerian elections as largely peaceful, despite some technical glitches and attacks by terror groups before and during the country’s presidential and parliamentary elections. Ban also condemned the attacks reportedly carried out by Boko Haram and others attempting to disrupt the polling in a statement released his spokesperson.
“He is encouraged by the determination and resilience shown by the Nigerian people in pressing forward and exercising their civic duties in the face of unjustifiable violence,” said the statement. Ban encouraged Nigerians to maintain the peaceful atmosphere and patience as voting continued. Attahiru Jega, the chairman of the country’s election commission, said the first collated results would be available Sunday evening, Reuters reported.
Ban added a successful conclusion to the election would mark a historic step forward for the African democracy and for the rule of law in Nigeria. “He calls on all actors to channel any complaints that might arise through the established dispute resolution mechanisms,” the statement said.
Technical problems prevented some people from casting their ballots Saturday, the Associated Press reported. Millions of people waited in line for hours Saturday because of malfunctioning thumb scanners and a cyberattack on the country’s Independent National Electoral Commission website. About 350 polling stations were reopened Sunday because of the glitches.
The first day of voting came with violent attacks by supposed Boko Haram militants, leaving at least 41 people dead and sending people fleeing from polling places in northeastern Nigeria. In the southern oil-producing region, thousands of Nigerians protested the alleged killings of opposition campaign workers and voting irregularities, the AP reported. Jega, the elections commissioner, Sunday promised an investigation of the irregularities

How INEC recovered hacked website in less than an hour
As the Federal elections continues, the official website of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), inecnigeria.org was on Saturday, March 28, 2015 hacked by a team of Nigerian hackers, Nigerian Cyber Army.

The website has since been restored.
16 Crazy Facts You Didn't Know About Iggy Azalea
What makes her an icon of today’s day and age?
Well, here is everything you always wanted to
know:
1. She was the face for Levi’s Jeans
In September of 2012, Iggy Azalea was announced
as the face of Levi’s new “Go Forth” campaign.
At the time, she was signed under the agency
Wilhelmina Models International Inc.
2. She dated A$AP Rocky
She began her love affair with A$AP Rocky back in
2011 when she met him through record producer
Chase N. Cashe. Their relationship ended in 2012.
3. She had his mixtape tattooed on her fingers
Around the time of her January 2012 interview
with Vibe, she got the title of his breakout
mixtape, Live . Love. A$AP , tatted on her fingers.
She stated that Rocky also had a tattoo of her
name, yet it was not visible. Since the breakup,
she has had the tattoo crossed out.
4. She is currently dating Nick Young of the
Lakers
The two have been a couple since November of
2013.
5. Her first date with Young was to Target
Oh, and it was her idea. But don’t worry, they
went on a real dinner date afterwards.
6. When she first moved to Miami, she only knew
one person
His name was Derek and he was originally from the
Bahamas. She bonded with him while browsing rap
music online. She would send him sample tracks
because he was American and, to her, that made
his opinion “ legit .”
By the time she moved to Miami, Derek was also
living there. Without ever meeting in person, he
picked her up at the airport on July 4th with his
friends and her career only took off from there.
7. She had to stop crowdsurfing at shows because
people kept trying to finger her
And apparently girls try to do it more than the
guys…
8. Her first tattoo was inspired by something she
had seen written on a wall
That tattoo says “Trust Your Struggle”; she got
it tattooed on herself within an hour of seeing it
displayed across the wall.
9. She dropped out of high school to move to Miami
to get closer to the hip-hop scene
Azalea’s father was an artist while her mother
was a housecleaner. Her family struggled to make
ends meet and Iggy helped her mother clean
houses in order to save money to pursue her
dreams.
10. Azalea was the first female and international
rapper to make it on XXL’s annual Top 10
Freshman list
Well that accomplishment speaks for itself,
doesn’t it?
11. Her birth name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly
So where did the name come from? Iggy was the
name of a dog she had while growing up, whereas
Azalea was the street she grew up on.
12. Her go to work-out regime consists of squats
and sit-ups
Clearly that’s working for her, so I guess it’s
time for us all to follow suit. I mean look at that!
13. Revolve Clothing has its own Iggy Azalea
shopping section
No, I’m not even kidding.
14. Iggy first appeared on the scene back in 2011
when her songs “kitten” and “My World” went
viral on YouTube
Many people falsely believe that “Work” and
“Fancy” are what put her on the map, but she
was on there way before those songs aired.
15. She’s inspired by Tupac
16. She got her first fake ID at the age of 13
Iggy is a wild child. She told Complex magazine:
When I was 13 I got a fake ID. I’d go out, get
hammered off my face in nightclubs because I
thought that made me an adult, meet older guys
who thought I was older, and go f*ck them.
I’d do that all the time. Hitchhiking was
something I would do all the time as a kid. When I
was 14 I used to go to the red light district called
Kings Cross and go to strip clubs.

How Gov Fashola & I have managed our religious differences in our marriage - Mrs Fashola
"We got married in the Church, the Catholic church, that is who I am, that's where you will take me from and that was done. But ever since then my husband has practiced his religion and I have practiced mine. There is no trouble whatsoever. My husband has his own part of the house where he prays, I have my own altar there with my crucifix and my rosary and everything and everyone is minding their own business. When its time for family prayer, we pray. I pray mine to the name of Jesus Christ while he prays in Allah's name & the children understand all that. My children are baptized and they go to church. When he wants them to go to mosque with him they go to the mosque with him.
Mrs Fashola also revealed that to get her husband to do something she wants personally, he would ask her to put it in writing so that he would not forget and give it urgent attention. She said it has become important now that everything that she needs to be done has to be documented and passed to her husband because that is how he says he can manage the homefront and the state effectively.

Iyanla says: ‘How did you find out that he had a baby by another woman?
‘Have you spoken to him? What I want people to know about Chris Brown is …?’
The dramatic teaser for the interview ends with the ‘Iyanla: Fix My Life’ star saying: ‘Here comes the hard question…’
She took to Twitter after the news broke, writing: ‘Listen. One can only take so much. The best of luck to Chris and his family. No baby drama for me. (sic)’

Ubi Franklin Speaks On Engagement With Lillian Esoro
Made Men Music Group Ceo, Ubi Franklin has spokenabout his newly engagement with actress Lillian Esoro. According to him, he saw Lillian like any other lady at a party and asked her out. He never knew what she was into, he said.
“When I met her, I did not even know she was an actress. That is something people do not know. I hardly watch television these days because of my schedule, so there are a lot of movie stars I do not know. Whenever I want to relax, I watch movies on my laptop. The first day I met her, she did not tell me she was an actress and I didn’t know till about a week later.
“I called her to ask and she told me she was an actress but preferred to keep a low profile. She said she does not like too much attention and all she wants is due diligence. She is not one of those actresses that seek for attention.”
About when and where their marriage will hold, Ubi said;
“The marriage would definitely be this year in Nigeria. I am not a fan of marrying abroad. I have nothing against people that do it but the truth is many people that ought to come and pray for you would not make it if you travel out of the country,” he said.

How May D assaulted me for years – Baby Mama shares Touching Story
My name is Debola I’m sure you know who I am, you put me on ur blog about 3yrs ago, for tattooing a Nigerian artist name on my body, I’m MayD’s baby Mama… I haven’t come here to rant or make noise, but to say some important things that I feel people should know. I will try to make my story as short as possible.
I was with MayD for 8years, which implies we were together from the get-go, before his career began and when nobody knew him obviously. For many years I stayed with him, obviously as his girlfriend, I supported him, financially, physically and emotionally. Back then when I was in Babcock we passed through loads of hurdles together being that he was struggling and incapable of providing for himself and I was obliged to supporting him financially. Even when it was extreme, like giving him a semester’s tuition to pay for studio sessions while I stupidly stayed at home, the things we do for love right? I practically paused my life for him, for us at a point. The sad part about this whole thing is that I never got tired I did everything that was within my reach. He stopped to cater for his kid a while ago, which I took responsibilities for and started to do diligently..
Now, like most relationships we had major problems which included the frequent cheating and escapades with girls which I obviously endured as I was consumed by the “main chick” title. Not that I was even getting any good thing in return, he never for one day acknowledge me, or made me feel like we were in a relationship together. I had no simple freedom to do whatsoever on my own, be it business, friendship etc.

In the past, Wayne and Milian have denied they were doing the no pants dance, but it looks like they’re ready to go public.
Now Weezy just has to keep her away from Drake.

False Alarm! Rotimi Amaechi Set Up ‘Attack’ For Sentiments – Ahmad Muhammad, Police PRO
The Rivers state Police command has released a statement regarding the alleged attack on Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s convoy in Port Harcourt yesterday March 26. In the statement, the police said contrary to what was said by the Amaechi’s Chief Press secretary, David Iyofor that political thugs loyal to the PDP attacked the governor’s convoy, it was Governor Amaechi himself who orchestrated the gunshots fired at his convoy to gain public sympathy. Read the statement after the cut…
“The police wishes to react to the news that went viral on both normal and social media quoting David Iyofor, chief press secretary to Rivers state governor, to the effect that gunshots were fired at the convoy of his principal at Rumuolumeni, Obio/Akpor local government. To put the records straight, after a successful and peaceful rally under the close watch of policemen led by the divisional police officer of the area, shots were indiscriminately fired from the convoy of the governor for reasons best known to them, as against the wispy claim of David Iyofor. No shots were fired at the convoy of the governor. The false alarm, which is the usual penchant of the state government, may not be unconnected with the bogus claim of assassination attempt by his principal that is to just whip up public sympathy. The command urges politicians to refrain from whipping sentiments by toying with security issues to create needless public panic, where there is none, please.” the statement read

Fashola Accuses President Jonathan Of Showcasing Lagos Project As His
Lagos State Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola has asked President Jonathan not to showcase Lagos Projects as his. The Governor while speaking on Wednesday said it was sad when he read in Guardian newspaper that one of Lagos State projects funded by Taxpayers money was listed as a project of the President. Hear him;
“This morning on page 64 of the Guardian, I saw a list of accomplishment of the president in Lagos; there were others that they have built the road leading to the international airport. But what was disturbing was that they listed phase two waterworks as one of things the president have done in Lagos.
“I think that is cheap, a lie about something you did not do and I think it is corrupt. For the record, that waterworks is being constructed by the Lagos State government with tax payer’s money,” he said.
Khloé Kardashian and French Montana ''Acting Very Much as a Couple''
In further Khloé Kardashian-and-French Montana-are-totally-probably-maybe-dating-again news... It turns out the are-they-or-aren't-they couple once again suggested that they are after being spotted partying at the Red Bull Guest House in Miami alongside fellow celeb pals Diddy and Cassie. A source tells E! News the foursome came in together and first went through the Public School gifting suite and were gifted a capsule collection of goodies (jealous!). Afterwards, French and Khloé went outside hand-in-hand to sit at the cabana by the pool together. "They were acting very much as a couple," the insider tells E! News. "French is all about Khloé and can't keep his eyes off of her," adding, "Khloé looks really great and fit. They are all enjoying their night so far!" Along with the good company, the group along with others in the crowd danced to the tunes of DJ Guy Gerber. The duo have been sparking speculation of a reconciliation for some time now after being seen hanging out together in recent months. Koko and sister Kylie Jenner were recently spotted out on the town to support Tyga and French Montana at a concert in Inglewood. The E! reality stars went to watch Chris Brown and Trey Songz serenade a sold-out crowd at The Forum and shared many a selfie during the show.

Both stars have kept it pretty quiet when it comes to their relationship via social media, but it definitely seems like things are heating up again.

Charly Boy: ‘How To Beat Your Wife’
Here’s an article written by Charles Oputa popularly known as Charly Boy.Read below and enjoy!
When I look back at my life, and all the stuff I did as a carefree, young and restless youth, I can’t help but shudder at some of my very bad habits. Yes, I was once short-fused; blowing off at the slightest provocation. It was pitiful. Over time I have managed to rid myself of such sad habits but that can’t be said for a lot of men some of who, even late in their lives can’t still get over it, thereby losing their cool in their homes. No be small thing sha.
Domestic violence is an under reported crime in Nigeria, almost accepted as norm. Some men feel it’s their right, some feel it’s always the women who bring out the beast in them, while others will readily admit its a way of stamping their authority in the home. Sadly, many don’t see anything wrong with beating their wives. How sad! Yes, am aware there are women who beat up their husbands, but those are in the minority and this piece ain’t about them. The most guilty perpetrators are usually men and the victims are mostly their wives and sometimes their children too.
Men abusing women is like a defence and coping mechanism for being or feeling WEAK in other aspects of life, sometimes including deep analog beliefs about masculinity. Men who abuse loved ones tend to blame other things or people for their violent outbursts. In some cases, it is a cycle: “my father abused me and my mom, so, it’s normal”.
Society doesn’t help either, it ingrains in a man’s psyche that macho bullshit; how he should be strong and if he can’t exhibit that in his daily public life, it’s ok for him to go home and prove his strength.
Abusive men are not limited to a particular status, it ranges from a bricklayer to a CEO or even a President, causing their women to perpetually live in anxiety and fear. Most of them tip-toe around their husbands, not because they respect these men, but because of fear.
A violent man might have grown up in a dysfunctional household but this is still not a reason to be abusive. It is an excuse, and a flimsy one at that.
Some men don’t come from humble homes where women are appreciated. Some of us come from homes that expose us to sex, gossip, male macho bullshit. Values for treating women start with where you’re coming from, your background. However, beyond these, what fucks most men up is our BIG FAT EGO. It has everything to do with selfishness or overrated feeling of self-importance. QED.
Ego is the source of many negatives in the world. It is the false ‘self’ that Jesus said we should let die before we can gain everlasting life. Ego craves to be first, but we must be willing to be last. Unconditional love comes with humility, selflessness, abundant generosity, perfect responsibility, fearless confidence.
I no go brag, am not all that, but I dey try. God knows!
Now, for the man who feels trapped in this mad dance with his loved ones and is trying very hard to rid himself of this very terrible habit, do like me. If you start to feel that your fuse is about to burst, try and say nothing, hold it in for a few minutes and relocate yourself to another space, either in your house, or outside. Allow some time to elapse before you express yourself, never talk or let your fist run amok when you’re upset; it doesn’t make for a good picture.
Even though I have cured myself of my short fuse, i still get tempted from time to time. What works best for me now is silence. I go and lock myself in my room and will never utter a word to my lady until am sure am in control of my faculties. Since many moons ago, I have discovered that this is a very effective option in dealing with a very bad temper.
So next time you are with your woman and you feel like turning her into a punching bag, change the game, beat her with your silence for the period you feel like blowing your fuse. Na my way be that oooooo.
This is just my take sha, how you see the matter my guys?

Rihanna cancels her World Tour With Kanye, Says Mr West is ‘F**KING UP HER BRAND
According to MediaTakeOut.com, a person close to Rihanna who tells us that all plans to do a joint Kanye-Rihanna album and a joint tour are over.
Rumors swept the internet a few weeks back that Kanye and Rih would be touring, after the pair released the song “Four Five Seconds” with Paul McCartney. Rih’s insider explains, “We all thought [Four-Five] would be a hit, but it’s not. It’s doing alright, but not what it should.”
Rihanna folks suspect that it’s Kanye’s unpopularity that’s stopping the song from popping. The insider added, “If the song was Rihanna, Paul [McCartney] and anyone else, it would be a hit. But Kanye’s just so hated, he’s toxic.”
The two had been PLANNING a world tour together, although NOTHING was finalized. Now those plans are OVER. The below Facebook post from a Belgian concert site confirmed it.
Lil Wayne & Christina Milian are now dating!!!!!
Lil Wayne did it big in Hollywood as in big PDA with Christina Milian, the first public confirmation of the rumors they're banging. Weezy and Christina were leaving a movie set on Tuesday and he had a firm grip on her hand something we've never seen them do out in the open. In fact, other than an appearance at an award show, the couple's been kinda like a unicorn. Christina -- who's signed to Young Money -- has been mum about dating the boss, but this is clearly their coming out. As for why Wayne was holding her hand so tightly -- just a guess, but Drake was spotted in town.
Do Not Go Home After Voting, Stay Behind & Protect Your Votes – Osinbajo
The APC presidential running mate said a vote for Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari is a vote for deliverance from the shackles of“poverty, unemployment and corruption”, which he said the PDP had imported into the country.
Osinbanjo also noted that an APC-led government at the federal level would focus on how to tackle the unemployment that is killing the destiny of many of the Nigerian youths, and the corruption that has made the country a laughing stock in the community of nations.
In his words:“President Jonathan is tired of governance because he is overwhelmed. His government has no focus. As of today, Nigeria is the most corrupt in the world. “That is why they are afraid of Buhari’s presidency because they are afraid of being jailed . They know there won’t be room for corrupt practices. We are promising you that wonders shall happen again in this country if Buhari wins this election.
“President Jonathan has failed Nigerians in all aspects and deserves to be rejected by Nigerians. If you look at our programme, all we emphasized is how to provide jobs for our unemployed youths. Whether Jonathan likes it or not, the dream of Nigeria becoming a liberated state shall come to pass on Saturday”.
Despite the inspector general, Suleiman Abba’s assurance that the police will protect the votes of Nigerians, Patience Jonathan’s and Professor Yemi Osinabjo’s advice to supporters contradicts last week’s directive by Abba for voters to go home after voting.
Buhari is planning to send me to prison-Patience Jonathan
Nigeria’s first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan has warned against voting for Buhari as he intends tosendher to prison. Speaking at the womwn’s rally in Ibadan, Oyo state,she said
“I want to warn you not to listen to the All Progressives Congress. The APC does not have materials to match what the PDP has on (the) ground. Their candidate was there in governance initially. What did he do? They only sent your fathers to prison.
“They are planning to even send me to prison. Holy Ghost fire! Holy Ghost fire! Holy Ghost fire! They have nothing to offer. They only say ‘I will’, ‘I will’.
“A train ismoving andit has now got to Oyo State. When we talk about train, some of you may have not seen a train before now. The last time a train moved in this country was when I was small and in primary school.
“When my children were small, they asked me what a train was. I had to take them to London and we entered a train from London to Paris. But the PDP government has brought this back to Nigeria. If you want to see train working today, you don’t need to travel again.”
She continued
“I enjoin the women and youths of Oyo State to vote for our party on Saturday. I have seen a campaign advert by the APC in the newspapers saying ‘God give us men’. But our prayer in the PDP is different. We pray that God gives us men and women.
“Jonathan is the first President in Nigeria to give women 35 per cent. Going by theNational Conferencereport, the President has said that if women have 35 per cent, youths will also have 30 per cent.
“I was looking atthe listof the universities set up by this administration, and I saw that one of them was set up even in the hometown of his opponent – Gen. Buhari. I think that if Buhari could not set up a university in his own state, Jonathan has done it and, therefore, deserves to continue.”
Jonathan Launches Development Bank Of Nigeria (DBN)
President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday officially launched the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN).
Though Jonathan observed that small and medium enterprises had always been the backbone of the nation’s economy, he however said the sector never had the opportunity of accessing cheap funds for its development.
According to the president, there exists over 17 million Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across the country which employ over 32 million people while contributing over 45 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
He stressed that existing developmental institutions in the country included the Bank of Industry (BoI) and other commercial banks which could not satisfy the funding needs of the MSMEs, hence the establishment of the DBN.
The president spoke at the launch held at the Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa.
“Access to long term finance has been a challenge for the MSMEs.
Most MSMEs cannot get long term funds from banks and other financial institutions, forcing them to spend on personal savings, friends and family for loans.
“These loans are typically short term and come at a high interest rate, thereby stemming the growth of these businesses,” Jonathan said.
The president, however, seized the opportunity to launch his campaign handbook titled; ‘Jonathan’s Next Four Years,’ encapsulating his visions for the country should he be re-elected.
The Coordinator for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, explained that the establishment of the bank was for a robust finance backing for small and medium enterprises.
According to her, the wholesale developmental institution plans to offer loans to at least 20,000 beneficiaries in the first one year of its operations and is billed to start business in the next nine months.
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) recently approved a multi-donor credits from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development of the World Bank, Africa Development Bank, Germany and French Development Agency in the sums of $500 million, $450 million, $200 million and $130 million for the establishment of the DBN.

‘’This election is for freedom. And this was how it happened in the past which prompted the late Herbert Ogunde, who titled one of his songs ‘Yoruba think.’ The money is blood money. And posterity will judge them for that action.”
“This will be the first time since independence that Nigerians will be changing a government that has failed to perform its responsibilities to its citizens. Previously, it is the military that does that for us.”
“There is nothing that stops you from waiting at the polling units after casting your vote. But the electoral law prohibits campaign for vote at the polling units.
“Asking electorate to stay 300 meters away from the polling units is like asking one to stay away from the polling units three times the length of a football field. And one cannot see what is happening.
“Those who said you should stay away from the polling units are reading the electoral act wrongly. And they planned to rig the election.
He continued…
“Before you leave home on Saturday, the first thing you should do is to wash your hands so that the card readers can recognize your finger print. Also on that day, dress well and call others when you are going to the polling units.
“After you have been accredited and you have cast your vote, stay where you can see how the voting process is going on.
“It is not only the political parties that have interest in the electoral process. Citizens who aren’t affiliated to any of the political parties also have interest in the outcome of the polls.
“Don’t fight with anyone at the polling units. The electoral act says that once the voting is completed in each of the polling units, the electoral officer must count the vote and announce the result to the residents.
“And that is how it is stated in the electoral law. If the residents are not there, who will the electoral officers announce the result of the election to. Stay close to the polling units and don’t disrupt the election process,” he said.

Chris Brown says He wants his Baby Mama Close So he can be a Good Dad
A lot of rappers run for the hills when they knock up some random chick, but Chris Brown wants to move that random chick to the hills ... the Hollywood Hills, so he can be close to his little girl. TMZ broke the story ... Chris got Nia Guzman, a 31-year-old Houston woman pregnant and now he's the proud dad of 9-month-old Royalty. We know Chris has spent time with the baby since finding out he's the father, but it's difficult because Royalty is 1372 air miles away from Chris' L.A. home. Sources connected with Chris tell us ... he's asked Nia to move to L.A. with their daughter and he'll foot the bill for housing. He's not romantically involved with Nia, but we're told he genuinely wants a meaningful relationship with Royalty. He's saying he'd like to see her everyday. Chris is in "negotiations" with Nia over support. He's paying her more than he's required to under the law, but he got pissed off when she started talking about their relationship and vowed to go to court where a judge would reduce the child support he's informally paying. Our sources say Chris has told Nia, if she moves to L.A. he won't pull the trigger on a child support court case and she'll continue getting the premium amount, in addition to a place to live. Nia hasn't decided, but it sounds like a good deal.
Obasanjo Warns Against Rumoured Plan To Hand Over To Military
Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, raised alarm of a rumour that the Goodluck Jonathan administration planned to hand over to the military if he loses in Saturday’s presidential election, warning that this would undermine the integrity of Nigeria among the comity of nations. Here’s what he said while hosting the South West women of the All Progressives Congress led by Aisha Buhari.
“I do hope we will get things more right. A lot of rumours are flying around, I think we have done away from the rumour of Interim Government because that is not in our constitution. I hope we will soon go away from the rumour of handing over to the military because the military is not meant to run affairs of a nation in terms of running government.
“And the intentional community will not condone it, particularly African Union where it is part and parcel of the constituting act of the African Union, that any government that is brought about, not on the basis of the constitution will not be accepted, will not be tolerated and will not be a member of the AU until that government is dismantled.
“It shouldn’t be Nigeria, we are the largest country in Africa, we should be a model, setting examples, we shouldn’t be drawing Africa backward, I hope we will not. I hope at the end of this exercise, we would be where we should be, leading Africa and showing examples for the rest of Africa and indeed the rest of the world.
“We have the goodwill of many people, I watched, last night, President Obama talking about our constitution, I watched our brother from Ghana, the current Chairman of ECOWAS talked about our constitution, they are all interested, they all wish us well, should we wish ourselves anything less?,” he said.
Housing Difficulty Will Be A Thing Of The Past With Me- Jimi Agbaje
PDP Lagos Governorship candidate Jimi Agbaje has said if elected, he intends to build over 200,000 housing units yearly because housing is one of the major problems in Lagos State. Agbaje stated this while speaking at a fundraising dinner titled, “An evening of interaction and dinner with Jimi Agbaje” in Lagos.
“We have to encourage housing because Lagos will become a slum if we do not address the issue. Lagos needs over two million housing units and that is an average of getting 200,000 every year. We have to encourage people to invest in housing and that means we have to improve the issue of how you get your construction permits.
“We have got to ensure that you are able to get you C of O (Certificate of Occupancy) on time and reduce the bureaucracy involved in housing. More importantly, for those who want to get involved in affordable housing, we will throw incentives at you, and we will give you land for nearly free,” the governorship aspirant stated.

Vin Diesel Predicts Best Picture Oscar Win for Furious 7--You Know, if the Academy Wants to Be ''Relevant''
It's pretty much a given that Furious 7 is going to dominate at the box office when it hits theaters April 3, but Vin Diesel is predicting a different type of win for the hugely anticipated addition to the billion-dollar franchise. "Universal is going to have the biggest movie in history with this movie," Diesel told Variety in a recent interview. "It will probably win best picture at the Oscars, unless the Oscars don't want to be relevant ever." You hear that, Academy? The driving gloves are off! Fellow cast members have waxed rhapsodic over the success that the Fast & Furious films have had, a success they all attribute to the familial chemistry among its stars. But does Diesel really think that the action-fueled flick could be the next Birdman? "This will win best picture," he reiterated. "There is nothing that will ever come close to the power of this thing." Power it will have in spades, of course. In addition to welcoming back almost all of the franchise's principal cast members, Furious 7 features the last big-screen appearance by Paul Walker, who died while they were still filming. His brothers Cody and Caleb stepped in as body doubles to help the grief-stricken production along, so everyone is obviously wondering what the finished product will look like. Diesel, who named his new baby Pauline in honor of Walker, got very emotional while speaking before a special preview screening of the film in L.A. last week, telling the audience, "This was a labor of love. It was in some ways the hardest movie I ever had to do because the relationships that you see on film are so real. When the tragedy happened I lost my best friend, I lost my brother." "We were successful in one-upping the action sequences, and adding an interesting dynamic to the world," Diesel further explained his Oscar aspirations to Variety. "But what the world won't anticipate is how emotionally powerful the movie is. The head of the studio, Ron Meyer, often said when Fast 5 or Fast 6 came out, 'If there was no number attached to these movies, they would be contenders for best picture.' And when people see Furious 7, they are going to agree." There's no time like barely a month after the 2015 Oscars to start working on our ballots for 2016.

Read What APC Plans To Do If Buhari Is Disqualified?
The All Progressives Congress, (APC), has disclosed what will happen if the GEJ presidency is desperate to do a-last-minute disqualification of Rtd. Gen. Muhammad Buhari from the 2015 presidential election.
According to reports, the APC has caution against any last-minute disqualification of its presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu, in order to pave the way for an easy victory for President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement written and issued in Abuja earlier today by the National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party warned the Federal Government, saying,”If it is true, as it is being widely speculated across the country, that the Jonathan Administration has procured a judgement to disqualify the APC Presidential Candidate on Wednesday, when the Federal High Court in Abuja is expected to rule on the issue, then it portends a great danger for our country.”
”Anyone who will disqualify a presidential candidate on the eve of an election can only have one and only one purpose for that: to trigger chaos and pandemonium across the country. Perhaps this is the reason for the deployment of troops across the country to crack down on possible protests and create confusion
”Then, those who orchestrated the disqualification will simply use what they expect to be angry reactions nationwide as aan excuse to postpone the elections again, thus triggering a constitutional crisis, the end of which no one can predict.
”This is why we are hoping that good reason will prevail and nothing will be done, deliberately, to plunge Nigeria into crisis by the same people who have always been quick to say their political ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian,”APC said.
