Pastor Insists Jonathan Bribed CAN With 7 Billion Naira
Despite a denial by the national leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that it did not receive a seven billion Naira bribe from President Goodluck Jonathan, the pastor who broke the story last week insists the association was bribed.
And he says some people within the leadership have called him to confess that his story was true and that what happened was wrong.
Addressing a well-attended press conference in Kaduna on Tuesday, Pastor Kallamu Musa Dikwa, who heads the Voice of Northern Christian Movement, declared that there were a lot of shenanigans in the present leadership of CAN, accusing it of betraying the vision of its founding fathers.
Dikwa reiterated that the CAN leadership received the funds on 21st of January, 2015, and gave N3 million to each of its state chapters.
In effect, the pastor is alleging that the CAN leadership distributed to its national membership a small fraction of what it received, keeping to itself well over N6 billion.
Of the response of the national leadership of CAN to his allegations, he told the journalists: “They even have denied me, and said I did not exist. That is why I came to you to confirm that what I said is true.”

Chris Brown denied entrance to Canada just hours before concerts
Chris Brown has been denied entry to Canada, just hours before he was supposed to perform in Montreal on Tuesday. The singer tweeted, “Unfortunately I will not be able to perform in front of sold out crowds in Montreal & Toronto.” He followed that up with a second message on Twitter that read, “The good people of the Canadian government wouldn’t allow me entry. I’ll be back this summer and will hopefully see all my Canadian fans!”
Brown was slated to perform Tuesday at the Centre Bell Centre in Montreal and then on Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The singer was seemingly denied entrance to Canada because of his previous felony assault charge, stemming from his attack on Rihanna back in 2009. He has since had a few other run-ins with the law.

The Silver Lining In The Cloud Of Postponement By Wole Soyinka
The “Advertorial” – full front page of Punch“ Feb 23, 2015 - sponsored by Mr. Ayo Fayose (aka “No Apology”) deserves to succeed in its aim of putting an end to all dispute surrounding the Ekiti elections of June 21, 2014. After all, its entire page is dedicated to a Press Statement from the US Department of State, which purportedly endorses the results of that election, congratulates the electoral organization, the winner/loser duo, not forgetting the security forces – all for their laudable contributions. The release could not be more timely, what with the governor’s own exhortations on the virtues of credibility, avoidance of violence, and its special appeal to “ALL THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE”.
It is that last item in the advertisement to which I am especially drawn, in view of an audio recording that has now become the latest marvel of democratic exposes, internationally. For those who have nothing to hide, disrobing lies and forgeries and reinforcing truth is regarded as part and parcel of the obligations we owe democracy.
The audio could well be one of such forgeries. We are daily inundated with allegations, evasions, distortions, image plundering and image laundering, all under the permissive canopy of electoral proceeding. Once in a while however, we encounter exposure of an exceptional dimension that appears to strike at the very root of Democracy, questions the validity of an entire electoral system and even erodes confidence in the integrity of the state. Such an event need not be regarded as a repudiation of the formal mechanics put in place by an electioneering agency such as INEC, but nonetheless extends the scope of its responsibilities, including its projection of looming hazards of future electoral exercises.

I bought my burial vault four years ago- Governor Fashola
The incumbent governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola while inspecting a proposed cemetery site for both Muslims and Christians in the state, stunned his crowd when he revealed that he bought a vault where he will be buried four years ago.
The proposed cemetery is located along Lekki Epe Expressway, Lagos. According to Fashola, death is a necessary end that will come when it will come and there is a need to prepare for it.
“We are here to inspect a cemetery, we often don’t like to talk about, but there is a need for it because the population continues to expand and the Lekki sub-region is growing very fast. If you look at it, the Ikoyi Cemetery, the Abari and all of that are more than 100 years old and they were built by the colonialist and left behind for us and when you look at the way they have also managed them, many families cannot even visit the vaults where their loved ones are resting.

I Prayed to Become the Biggest, Richest Entertainer out of Africa- D'banj
In an interview with Nigerian Tribune, Dbanj has opened up on his achievements so far and how it feels to be 10 years old in the industry.
Did you imagine how far you will get to when you started?My first single was out in October 2004 and my first album was released on the 25th of March 2005. Yes. As at then, I always said I was an entertainer. I always said “I’m Dbanj” as loud as I could. And I hoped and prayed that I’d become the biggest entertainer to ever come out of Africa. I also prayed that I will be the richest entertainer and so on. I had a lot of dreams. And it has been a great challenge since ten years up until now. When I count my blessings I see that God has been faithful to me. There are places I have been to that I didn’t think I would ever get, although I dreamt big. There are a number of stages I didn’t foresee I’d get to that I am honoured to be in. It can only get better. And I am very grateful to God.
Can you tell us the highest point of your career so far?

“I am excited and happy that I am a year older and my marriage is waxing stronger. God has been faithful. I’m grateful to God for good health and a happy marriage. Definitely, my husband and I would be together forever. It is not because of what people say but because of the conviction that I have and what my husband and I feel for each other. We know that we are meant to be in this marriage. Even in the midst of the storm, controversy and scandal, we still knew what was binding us together was true love which is well rooted in Christ. It is not based on the facade of celebrity marriages. It is beyond all that and we both knew that we would be married forever no matter what.”
The damsel explained that as a woman, anytime she read negative news about her marriage, she felt bad but her husband was always there to support her.

Fani-Kayode counters President Jonathan, says Ekiti rigging tape authentic
Contrary to President Goodluck Jonathan’s dismissal of the Ekiti rigging audio recording as a fabrication that is not worth his attention, the spokesperson for his campaign, Femi Fani-Kayode has admitted that the tape is genuine but that the characters involved in the meeting captured in the recording were not discussing how to rig the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti state.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Mr. Fani-Kayode said his team had listened to and reviewed the recording and that it came to the conclusion that the opposition All Progressives Congress turned fact on its head by claiming that Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state; former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro; and the Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, who featured in the recording, planned how to rig the election.
“We have listened to the audio clip and we make bold to say that the discussion that took place in it did not make any mention of any form of rigging in the Ekiti state governorship election and neither did it contain any evidence of any conspiracy to rig,” he said.

Obanikoro Confesses He Was At Ekiti Rigging Meeting, Says Jonathan Sent Him
After several denials, Musiliu Obanikoro has finally confessed to several senators in Abuja that he indeed participated in an eve meeting in Ekiti in which a group of politicians and government ministers met with a Nigerian army general to rig the governorship election in favor of Ayodele Fayose, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Obanikoro claims that although he was at the meeting which is now known as “Ekitigate”, he simply attended in order to make peace between the army and Fayose at the meeting. The embattled ministerial nominee claims he was not party to any conversation about rigging. On the contrary, Obanikoro, who was at the time junior Minister for Defence, is overheard clearly on the tape bragging about the authority granted him by President Jonathan.
Prior to admitting his involvement to the Senators, the former minister met with President Jonathan to discuss the tape and his role. A presidency source said Obanikoro told President Jonathan he was present at the meeting but that a part of the audio-recording was “doctored”.
They said President Jonathan had called him to the meeting to discuss how to mitigate the damage created by the leaked tape. He told the Senators categorically that it was Jonathan himself who had sent him to Ekiti to help Fayose win the election. On the tape, Obanikoro says, at least twice, that he is on a “mission” for the President.

An open letter to Kim Kardashian
Dear Kim,
Please stop bombarding the internet with pictures of your vagina. Please. Just. Stop. Everyone is super happy you’re so proud of your naked body. But really, it’s enough already.
As a card-carrying member of the vagina club (translation; I have one too), I can assure you the world is NOT– I repeat NOT– your gynecologist. And (this will shock you) your vagina is not unique. Every woman has one pretty much just like yours. And you know what else? We’re proud of ours too even though we don’t air it out online like you do.
I know writing this open letter is giving you more exposure, and I’ve tried turning away. But like the killer in a bad movie, everywhere I turn, YOU’RE THERE. It’s creepy. It’s time to take some responsibility.

Jega tells Senators he can’t guarantee elections will hold March 28
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Attahiru Jega, has told Nigerian federal lawmakers he could not guarantee the 2015 general elections will hold on rescheduled dates in March and April.
At a meeting with Senators Wednesday, Mr. Jega said he could not commit himself to the “sanctity” of March 28 and April 11 – dates for the rescheduled Nigeria’s general elections.
He said the electoral commission could not guarantee aspects of the poll that are beyond its control.
Mr. Jega met with the lawmakers to review the decision to postpone the polls from February.
Under the Nigerian law, a further six-week extension of the elections is possible, a prospect opposed by many Nigerians, the main opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, and the international community.

Weird! Couples Tie the Knot on Valentine's Day in a Coffin
As the world celebrated St Valentine’s day, renewed vows and reassured their love ones, 10 newlyweds in Thialand chose to take the idea more seriously when they lay in a coffin as they said their vows. According to BangkokPost, the wedding ritual, conducted by monks, allows couples to rid themselves of bad luck by being ‘brough back to life’ and is believed to bring true love, prosperity and protection from harm. Participants made offerings to the monks before taking their places side-by-side in the large pink coffin-floral bouquets held to their chests. The monks then draped a large white sheet across them-representing their deaths-and performed chants usually reserved for funerals. The prayers ended with blessings for a new life.

LP offers to assist NLC conduct aborted poll
Following the exchange of punches among delegates to the election of the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Labour Party has offered to assist the NLC in conducting a free and fair exercise that will be devoid of rancour.
The National Secretary of Labour Party, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, said while it was a great disservice to the Nigerian workers and the nation that the NLC could not hold a successful election to elect new leaders, he believed it was dangerous to leave the union to address the present challenge alone.
