Jonathan’s Office Vacant?
The All Progressives Congress (APC) said the comment credited to information minister Labaran Maku that the federal government was spending significantly on security in three of its controlled states was a categorical declaration of the office of the president vacant by the minister.
According to APC, by that statement Maku has proved that President Goodluck Jonathan is only the leader of the PDP and not actually a President of and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria.
The leading opposition party regretted that this was coming from government at a time that foreign nationals who are not members of APC are spending time and resources campaigning for the rescue of these girls”.
According to APC, by that statement Maku has proved that President Goodluck Jonathan is only the leader of the PDP and not actually a President of and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Friday in Lagos by its national publicity, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the APC described Maku’s comment as “a tragic and insensitive statement from an honourable minister of the Federal Republic about innocent children, some of whom are minors with neither political leaning”.
“The campaign to rescue the abducted girls has now been clearly polarized and politicized by the federal government. So sad, so unfortunate, so callous, so mean, so irresponsible, so brazen, so not parental, so not governmental,” APC declares.
It would be recalled that at the weekly Federal Executive Council briefing on Wednesday, the minister had drawn attention to the entire money federal government had been spending to maintain security in three states that are controlled by the APC.
The leading opposition party regretted that this was coming from government at a time that foreign nationals who are not members of APC are spending time and resources campaigning for the rescue of these girls”.
It cited the U.S. and UK where it said Republicans, Democrats as well as Liberal Democrats, Conservatives and Labour were “united in campaigning for the rescue of our daughters”.
APC said at this juncture, it is clear that PDP leadership is a disaster in Nigeria.

Jonathan's Govt Is Squandering Oil Wealth ––Says Hillary Clinton
President Jonathan said if Billions are stolen from our oil sector, America will know. Now America knows:
The immediate past United States Secretary of State, Mrs. Hillary Clinton, in separate events in New York City said the Nigerian government under President Goodluck Jonathan, squandered its oil resources, and indirectly helps corruption to fester in the Boko Haram troubled country.
Clinton stated the following position in the New York events she attended, challenging the credibility and quality of the country's leadership under President Jonathan's watch.
"The seizure of these young women by this radical, extremist group, Boko Haram, is abominable, it’s criminal, it’s an act of terrorism, and it really merits the fullest response possible, first and foremost from the government of Nigeria.
"The Nigerian government has failed to confront the threat, or to address the underlying challenges. Most of all, the government of Nigeria needs to get serious about protecting all of its citizens and ensuring that every child has the right and opportunity to go to school,” she said in her address to the function organized by the International Crisis Group.
"Every asset and expertise should be brought to bear. Everyone needs to see this for what it is, it is a gross human rights abuse, but it is also part of a continuing struggle within Nigeria and within North Africa,” she added.
The immediate past United States Secretary of State, Mrs. Hillary Clinton, in separate events in New York City said the Nigerian government under President Goodluck Jonathan, squandered its oil resources, and indirectly helps corruption to fester in the Boko Haram troubled country.
In the words of Hillary Clinton: “The government of Nigeria has been, in my view, somewhat derelict in its responsibility toward protecting boys and girls, men and women in northern Nigeria over the last years.
“The Nigerian government must accept help – particularly intelligence, surveillance and recognizance help – their troops have to be the ones that (are) necessary, but they could do a better job if they accept the offers that are being made. Nigeria has made bad choices, not hard choices," Clinton said.
"They have squandered their oil wealth; they have allowed corruption to fester, and now they are losing control of parts of their (own) territory because they would not make hard choices.”
Mrs. Clinton spoke with ABC-TV’s Robin Roberts on American national television, and also at a public function organized by the International Crisis Group. Later, the former Senator and First Lady made other critical remarks concerning Nigeria at a philanthropy parley, as she was widely quoted by several American media outlets, including CNN.

Tiwa, controversial video will surprise you
It's not only Tonto Dikeh that want to be like Maheeda, it seems Tiwa Savage has also decided to go the bad girl way and the content of this her latest controversial video will surprise you in many ways. Check it out:
Pray For Madam Dora Akunyili
Many are worried and the tension increased on Friday evening when rumours of her death hit the cyber space but the reported death of former minister of information Prof. Dora Akunyili in an Indian hospital, where she was rushed to for medical attention, has been dispelled by her media aide, Mr Isaac Umunna.
“I don’t know why people are peddling this rumour. It is baseless. And, as you may know, former governor Peter Obi only three days ago visited her in the hospital in India and he was received by her husband and her doctors who confirmed to him that she was responding to treatment.
"And, as I speak to you now, I just came out from the church. That was why I could not take your call earlier because I was in the church. If the rumour was true, I wouldn’t have been in the church now. And I have been in contact with them. I have been speaking with some of our people who are with her, and we spoke not long ago. So no such thing they are saying happened.”
Umunna, who spoke to Leadership in Abuja insisted that Madam Akunyili is responding to treatment and they believe she would be fine at the end of the day and return home safely.

Tighten the Vagina and Keep Away Any Bad Smells
Have you ever wondered once or twice or more, how tight your vagina was, or whether your vagina has a bad smell? If you're married or sexually active, you probably have. It will definitely be on your mind when you want to do the do or it's time for your partner to go 'down'. I also talked about Vaginal Yeast Infection and Best Herbal Cure For Candida To Reduce Vaginal Itching. Read post to stop itching here.
For getting your vagina tight, I know Kegels are great and I practice them when I remember. By the way, am I the only one who gets aroused doing Kegel exercises?
About how to keep away the bad vagina smells, bear in mind that all vaginas have their own natural smell, maybe I should say scent. That unique scent can be an aphrodisiac for your partner, but when your vagina starts smelling too fishy, there's something fishy.
You need to get rid of that smell from the inside out, and from the outside in. Below are the top 10 tips I found. See this post for the Part 2 with video.
1. Eat a good quantity of citrus fruits like Oranges and Lemons
2. I don't know what Indian Gooseberry is but it's supposed to help for OK vaginal odor
3. Add fresh yoghurt to your diet
4. Garlic is your friend, as it helps keep away bacterial infections
5. Tea Tree Oil is mentioned too, I've never used it. I know it's great for hair too.
6. Drink lots of water, of course.
7. Use water every time you use a toilet, a wipe may be better than tissue paper. Avoid using douches. Wash your vagina with unscented soap or simple feminine wash for the external area only.
8. Keep the vaginal area clean and dry also keep your pubic hair short.
9. Choose cotton underwears or those with cotton in the vagina area. Or go commando, that is, without undies at all.
10. During your period, change your sanitary pads or tampons frequently and use panty liners during your ovulation.
I would love to hear your own ideas of getting rid of vaginal odor. Please leave a comment below.
PS, who can count how many times I said vagina in this post?
Halima Abubakar- I’m Not A Runs Girl
In a new interview with YES! Magazine, actress Halima Abubakar has said she is not a controversial actress and neither does she do runs. That I bought a car didn’t mean I slept around to buy it, she said. Enjoy part of the interview below…
People see you as a very controversial person. Is that who you really are or is it just a make-believe thing?
I’m not controversial. Why? People talk and the press write. Guess my name gives them (gossips) orgasm. I’m a simple home couch-loving lady. I love my bed, my comfort; whether there is spring or mat, I’m great at home. I don’t party. I feel like I don’t have fun and still not having fun, because I’m too serious and have been working since I was 13 years. But, it’s okay. I’m here making my own rules and making sure I follow them. I love meriting stuff, so I don’t cut corners. Hard work is better. You can sleep your way through, but it never lasts. I knew that from day one. When people reject me, I don’t worry because they are the ones missing and losing, not knowing how amazing I am. People love judging and as long as people love hearing hear says, then they add lies to sweeten the gist. So, how am I controversial? I’m always misunderstood by lots of people. Just because I don’t talk too much does not mean I’m unfriendly or arrogant. I’m just a calm-natured person. Not giving to stress. People have made me calm because of their constant gossips. I’m now like “Django”. I laugh and move on. I know that people still fight for me behind. So, God bless you all for the love.
Are you in any relationship now?
Yes. You all have been guessing about that, but una get strength, why una wan know my guy? Do you know if I have? I laugh when I hear stuff like this. I just laugh at the assumptions. I have always loved being with just one guy. I don’t do runs. Because I bought a car, gullible people are saying I do runs. So, because I want to buy a car, I will have to sleep around before I can get it? That’s silly. Everyone has become a judge and the main judges don’t have work to do again. Please, I’m too young to be in a hurry to get rich. God can bless you anytime with just one breakthrough, if you are okay, cool and contented.
Reason That Beyonce’s Sister Solange Beat Up Jay-Z
TV Host, Wendy Williams talked about the Jay Z/Solange fight on her show and she supported Solange. She also said the woman Solange had an argument with at the party was having an affair with Jay Z.
Several reports have it that Solange was arguing with Rachel Roy and Beyonce even stepped in to calm it down.Wendy feels Solange caught him flirting with Rachel (pictured above with Solange) and in annoyance she warned Rachel and exchanged words, then as soon as they got in the elevator, she attacked Jay Z .
‘Solange got into an argument with fashion designer Rachel Roy.Now Rachel used to be an intern at Rocawear back in the days .Now look.back in the day those offices were Damon Dash and Jayz.There were pretty girls and models then and it was alleged that Damon and Jayz would pass girls around up there. Rachel,were you one of those girls?“Jay probably did some stupid, slick man mess while walking with his wife(demonstrates by tapping her producer’s butt to back claims he probably did something like squeeze Rachel’s butt while holding and ignorant Beyonce)….
…She(Solange) probably went to his face and told him something like”You’re not going to do that with my sister right here..So as they walked out of the party and as soon as the elevator shut,she had him beat down.
In my mind, Beyoncé didn’t get in the middle because Solange is probably attacking him over something that he knows he was dead wrong about. Therefore, sister didn’t get in the middle.
“Beyoncé and the security guard were standing there like this is nothing new between Solange and Jay-Z. It didn’t look like something new otherwise wouldn’t you have jumped in the way and stopped it if you were BeyoncéYou can ride with what ever theory you like but I’m sticking with the Wendy theory.’

AfroCandy, Now Has Her Own Social Network
This indeed is bad news for Afrocandy's lovers as the self-acclaimed queen of porn is set to quit social media. She made this announcement early hours of this morning after threaten to quit in a Facebook message she posted on the 26th of April, 2014. She asked God why He created so many dummies she couldn’t deal with, in two separate messages on twitter this morning.
However, AfroCandy says she will only be on her own personal network for now and whoever wants to join her there is free to meet her up. A lot of our followers pleaded with her to stay back, but her mind was made up and wrote her last words Bye Bye, LOL. Her tweets and Facebook messages after the cut.
62 Million Condoms For Nigerian Supporters Club
Hehehe when I read this my first question was, are they going to sleep with half of the country? 62 million what? Lol. Ok let me break it down for you. UNAIDS is willing to give Nigerian supporters club 2 million condoms for their stay in Brazil during the world cup, but Rafiu Ladipo the President-General of NFSSC said 2 million condoms will only be good for a day and not the purported 31days they are booked to stay, because Nigerian supporters are quite much.
He appealed to UNAIDS to take their pleas seriously because some fans might want to have sex after daily activities. So when you multiply 2 by 31 you get 62 million condoms. Good luck guys!
Reasons Why Some Women Delay Making Babies After Marriage
I have heard so many people question ladies who say they would want to take their time before having kids after marriage. Well, if all goes according to plan, I would like to wait too, and to the questions, I've realized it's based on so many different reasons for different ladies.
Apparently, in the majority, we seem to have ladies who would prefer getting pregnant before the wedding (totally intentional), and those who would love to get pregnant on the wedding night or in the few months after. Still out there, but a little less in number are those who would just want to wait months or even years before getting pregnant.
To those with questions, let me share some of the reasons I've heard from this last group of ladies.
1. GETTING MARRIED BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR MAN CAN'T KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF EACH OTHER BUT AREN'T READY FOR KIDS:
This reason is not so common especially among non Christians or those who may not be celibate, but then it exists. Even as most of us are quite carefree towards the religious and cultural ways and values, some still take it very seriously. Logically, religion and culture does not go against finding love or falling in love.
There is a state of being mentally, physically and emotionally ready to become a mother, now one or all of these states are not measured by age, its all about the mind and readiness. So,when two people are not only in love, but also want to be together but are not ready to start making babies, they can wait for a short or long period after getting married, before doing that..
2. WANTING TO SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH ONE'S PARTNER WITHOUT DIVIDED ATTENTION ESPECIALLY WHEN DATING/COURTSHIP PERIOD WAS SHORT:
Most people believe once they get married, kids should be immediately involved, evidently not all ladies/ couples are of that mindset. They think - "we should be able to spend quality time with our spouses without divided love and attention from third parties including children." They want to build up their love and the bond between them.
For those with short period of dating, they think, "If while we were dating, we did not spend so much time going for lunch, clubbing, visiting the beach and other places, why can't we do these things now that we bear the same name?" The truth is that doing these things with a big belly or a new born won't be as much fun, not even when all you want to do as a pregnant woman is eat ice-cream and sleep!
3. BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE MAKING BABIES DOES NOT FIT YOUR LIFE SITUATION OR CAN AMOUNT TO A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN:
This may be the most common because most couples would prefer taking care of all possible hindrances before they start their family. It is true that most people want to be well settled before they get married, but that sometimes does not work out as planned.
In my own perspective, I believe its not a must you have EVERYTHING before you settle down. I don't think there are any hard and fast rules of what you MUST HAVE before you can be with the person you love. In a situation where, your man is ready and you are still in school but you both will live comfortablly even considering that, I see no reason why you can't go ahead and marry him if you both feel ready otherwise.
In that scenario, being a student and wife, running both marriage and school at the same time and wanting to give both your best will be a big deal, the addition of a newborn might not only be a challenge, but might derail all you're working for. One of the three will definitely suffer and that is why ladies in such situations prefer to postpone making babies to a more convenient time (so far as it's a mutual agreement between husband and wife), it can certainly work out with well-timed family planning.
In other cases, it might not be school, it can be work, based on location, nature and other reasons, while plans are being made for a career to take shape or take off, making babies will be postponed by the couple.
So, ladies, if you have been thinking that you would like to take your time before making babies, but you were not able to marshal your points, these are three reasons I know and have heard. What other reasons have you? Let's share and talk about them.

American Troops Locate the Kidnapped Female Students Through Satellite Image
The heat is on Boko Haram and it is only a matter of time before they are crushed and sanity restored to our dear country Nigeria. Special Forces of the United States Marines have sighted the over 200 female students abducted by Boko Haram terrorists from their school in Chibok, Borno State.
Members of the United States Marines who are already in Maiduguri in fulfilment of the promise of President Barack Obama to assist Nigeria to search and rescue the girls, were said to have located the girls inside the dreaded Sambisa forest, using highly sophisticated Satellite equipment which combed the forest.
American Marines used their sophisticated tracker to traced his location in Maiduguri where he was arrested and he has been handed over to Nigerian security authority.

Also, one of the leaders of the terrorist group who participated in the abduction of the girls, their chief spy, has been arrested by the US Marines, through the use of an advanced interceptor equipment which was used to track the Boko Haram spy while he was exchanging information with Shekau and others inside Sambisa Forest...The man was said to be feeding Boko Haram commander, Shekau and others with security information about the movements of American and Nigerian soldiers in Maiduguri, to sabotage the rescue operation.
American Marines used their sophisticated tracker to traced his location in Maiduguri where he was arrested and he has been handed over to Nigerian security authority.
Hopefully, #BringBackOurGirls shall become a reality!

The Hotel Personel Who Leaked the Jay Z Elevator Video Caught and Fired
The Standard Hotel has announced that they have discovered the person who leaked the tape that showed Beyonce's sister Solange hitting, kicking and spitting at Jay Z during an argument in a hotel elevator. The hotel subsequently fired the person behind the leak, but did not identify them to the press.
According to the Associated Press:
The Standard Hotel said the person had been terminated for "breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video."
The hotel said after the video was first aired that it was "shocked and disappointed" by the security breach. It said Wednesday that it will turn over "all available information to criminal authorities."
Reports say the worker at the Standard Hotel must have made the video with a cell phone that recorded images from a monitor in a back room at the hotel. TMZ reportedly paid the person who leaked the tape $250,000.
Folorunsho Alakija Shares Her Success (Testimonies)
One of the richest black women alive, Folorunsho Alakija has shared the testimony of her success. She says she was turned down 3 times and it took her 3 years to achieve part of what she wanted, but it paid off after all. She also explained how she had to put God in between and told Him, if He blesses her, she will serve him till the end of time. Her words after the cut.
It was not a planned thing at all. A friend actually contacted me that some people wanted to buy crude oil and she was wondering if I will be able to get them to make the purchase. I got an appointment with the Minister of Petroleum and he told me that it's not the way to go because there wasn't much profit in selling it and because it's a foreign company that Nigeria is imposed at selling its crude to international market. That it will be better to look at other things. I went back to my friend and told her what the Minister said.
Then it seemed as if that door was shut but something else came up. I chose not to walk away so I went back to offer another service which was catering services. And yet again I was shut down. I did not give up, I just knew that something had to come out of it. I spoke again to some friends in the oil industry and I was told to ask to be able to supply transportation services for those who are purchasing crude within the country but I was shut down again by the minister.
Then the last time I went to see the Minister, he told me that the government wants Nigerians to be involved in Nigeria's exploration and production. That it has been the multinationals that have been taking advantage of the oil business in Nigeria. So I was like OK...probably this is not the likes of me.
I felt like there was no point coming back but honestly, I'm not the type to take no for an answer. So I began to ask questions, I began to knock on doors, I began to seek information and in the long run, I applied for an oil bloc. But all through that time, the ministers have been changed 3 times so each time they are changed, it takes me back to the bottom of the ladder and I will have to start all over again but I still did not give up.
The whole thing started in January 1991 till the end of 1993. I kept going, kept going, kept praying, in-between I became a born-again Christian. That was when I knew the lord. When I was 40, I decided to enter a covenant with the lord that if he blesses me, that I will serve him for the rest of my life and then I got the oil license. It eventually came after 3years but I did not get the one I wanted."
Speaking about her husband’s role in her business, she said;
"My husband was solidly behind me. There were many times that I will go back home crying and he would tell me to stop crying and he would tell me to stop crying that after all, we are not starving, we are very comfortable. I had his support financially, morally because I had a settled home. I had a balanced relationship with my Husband and my children. All that helped me to dare to make a difference."
