Bobbi Kristina is "Awake" after 3-month Coma






Whitney Houston's ex-husband has claimed their daughter Bobbi Kristina is "awake" after three months in a coma.



Singer Bobby Brown stunned his audience during a concert in Texas over the weekend, telling them, "Bobbi is awake, she's watching me." The crowd cheered loudly, TMZ reports.



However, it's unclear what Brown is really saying. Cos if you take the first comment at face value it seems he's saying Bobbi Krisina is out of the coma she's been in since January 31st. But when Bobby said, "She's watching me," it made it sound like something other than consciousness.



Bobby made the comment at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas.



The 22-year-old daughter of the late singer Whitney Houston has been in a medically-induced coma since January 31. Doctors reportedly said there was nothing that could be done.

Buhari May Unveil Transition Committee Members This Week

Baring any last minute change in plan, the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) will inaugurate his a 35-member transition committee on Tuesday.



The names of members of the transition committee which is expected to work with a similar committee to be appointed by the out- going administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, will be formally presented to the public at a party event to be presided over by in Abuja.



A party source who asked not to be quoted because he was not authorized to speak on the issue told THISDAY yesterday that the President- elect will fly into Abuja on Monday from his Kaduna home in order to inaugurate the committee.

The source also confirmed earlier report by THISDAY on the appointment of the Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, to lead the transition committee.



On the composition of the transition committee, THISDAY gathered that the list is dominated by technocrats with only a few names selected based on party affiliation.



"It is not about party patronage. We must not toy with this opportunity and as such every effort is being made to ensure that the right calibre of persons are chosen to handle the transition job. Buhari and the party place great importance on the quality and integrity of the recommendations that would come with the committee's work," he said.



APC leadership caucus had met Wednesday and Thursday last week during which it considered the list of transition committee members and made recommendations to the President elect.



According to the source, the party's National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, was in Kaduna on Saturday to meet with Buhari and to intimate him with the recommendations from the NWC.



Buhari had while speaking to Journalists shortly after casting his vote during the governorship election in Daura promised he would forward a list of the transition committee members with terms of reference to the party leadership for scrutiny.



"Personally, I think I have an idea of whom I would like to be in the transition committee. I will appoint knowledgeable and experienced technocrats to study the hand-over notes and make recommendations. They are to be made up of a crop of patriotic Nigerians," he said.



When contacted on phone yesterday, the National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, confirmed that the party had made recommendations on the transition committee and submitted same to Buhari. When asked whether the unveiling of the transition committee will hold on Tuesday, Mohammed said though they will be meeting on sundry issues on Monday, he could not specify what nature it would take.

Mother locks young daughters inside alarmed bedroom so she can live with child abuser


A mother locks her two young daughters inside an alarmed bedroom so she can share a bed with her husband who is a convicted child abuser. And social services in the area have approved the plan...



From UK Mirror

Two young sisters are being locked inside an alarmed bedroom at night to protect them from their mother’s paedophile husband – and social workers say it’s fine.The authorities have astonishingly given the go-ahead to the monstrous plan the mum dreamed up so she can sleep with their vile stepfather.

The convicted abuser, once jailed for attacking a girl under 13, has now been allowed to move in with her and the ­children – also both under 13.


And among other ‘safety’ factors believed to have been taken into account in a shocking official report was that the ­paedophile would have to climb over the mum from his side of the bed to get to the girls – and would therefore wake her up.



County council officials who rubber-stamped the decision were also happy that the imprisoned children could use a baby monitor to call for their mother if they needed to be let out to go to the toilet.



They allowed the child abuser to move in only a few months after describing him as a “continuing risk” to the girls.



Details of the decision emerged after the children’s worried grandmother contacted the Sunday Mirror over her fears for their safety. She said: “The alarm and the other so-called precautions to stop my granddaughters being abused are a load of rubbish.



“Since learning my daughter’s new husband was a paedophile I’ve tried to express my concerns to social ­services.

“I’m appalled this man was allowed to move into the family home with my granddaughters. Other family members also feel their concerns are being ignored.

“It feels like my granddaughters are isolated and at risk. Social services don’t seem to want to listen to me.

“It’s heartbreaking, but I have to keep fighting this for the sake of the girls.



A source close to the ­troubling case said: “We can’t believe that this mother has been so stupid as to take up with this man.

“And how on earth is an alarm going to stop him if he decides he wants to abuse those children? Everyone involved in this atrocious situation should hang their heads in shame.”



The identity of the paedophile, his wife and the children, who live in Devon, are all known to the Sunday Mirror but cannot be revealed for legal reasons.



The children’s mother got together with the child abuser, a man in his 40s, less than five years ago.

She had split from the girls’ father who moved out and at first saw his children at weekends. But he then relocated with a new partner and does not now have regular access.



The mother told social workers she was fully aware of the paedophile’s past and that he had been a previous boyfriend in the Eighties. As a convicted child abuser he is subject to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) which bans him from having unsupervised contact with under-16s. He also has to sign the Sex Offenders Register.



But a year after they began dating, the mother applied to be an ‘approved person’ to provide supervision of contact between the paedophile and her children, a ­requirement of his SOPO.

That move was rubber-stamped by a body called the Devon Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub. It is made up of police, probation officers, social workers and other agencies.



The couple married the following year – with the mother sharing details of her and the paedophile’s growing relationship on her Facebook page. It tells how the couple enjoyed spending time with the girls, jaunts to the seaside and pub meals.



After their wedding the mum wrote online that they “had a fantastic day with the family”.

But later she had to call police to her home after a neighbour loudly called her partner “an animal”.

By the end of that year, a Devon County Council council children’s services review of the case found there remained a “continuing risk” that the paedophile would sexually abuse the vulnerable girls.

A few months later the council recommended the children should be placed with other relatives or put in care if the mother wanted her relationship to carry on .



Its report noted she had “instigated the relationship” with the paedophile. Yet still the children stayed with their mother.



Then last year she made a further request for her husband – understood to have been spending an increasing amount of time with the daughters – to “stay overnight occasionally” at her home.

Her request was turned down by the council as her new partner was still deemed a risk. But within months came the astonishing U-turn.



It is understood the mother bought and installed the lock and alarm in her two-bedroom home after seeking advice from a charity that helps people affected by underage sexual abuse – including the paedophiles themselves.



A team including a social worker and solicitors visited her property last autumn and were satisfied with the measures she had taken. Her solicitor and a lawyer for the girls’ father were also present.



A family source told us: “It was decided that because there was a baby monitor in their bedroom the children could wake their mother up who could open the door for them. And they thought the alarm on the door was adequate because it couldn’t be shut off after it had been set off.”

The source also claimed the mother told the social worker the paedophile could sleep on a side of the bed which meant he would wake his partner if he got up in the night because he would have to climb over her.



Late last year, the man was given the right to stay overnight at the family’s house following a lengthy appeal to the council.

Yesterday the Council confirmed a “professionals meeting” had taken place last autumn “to discuss any areas the local authority may have missed that would help to determine (the paedophile’s) return to the family home. The professionals were of the view there are enough protective factors in place for the children.”



A spokesman later added: “Numerous reviews by a variety of agencies have concluded that his partner, who wants him to be able to stay overnight, can adequately supervise him.

“A safety plan has to be in place and his partner has to supervise contact at all times. The police have been informed and the local authority is monitoring the situation very closely with regular visits to the family home.”



The mum and the paedophile have since been living together, according to sources. When approached by the Sunday Mirror yesterday, the paedophile denied he was a sex offender, adding: “What business have you got even if I was a paedophile?”




PDP Rejects Lai Mohammed's Training Offer For Olisa Metuh

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Publicity Directorate has rejected the offer of a crash course on speaking for an opposition party made by the spokesperson of the APC, Lai Mohammed, on Friday.



The PDP said the offer was arrogant and self-serving.



The PDP’s response was contained a statement signed by an aide to its spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, Richard Ihediwa, on Sunday in Abuja.



“Alhaji Mohammed in his usual ill-mannered and condemnable approach left the issues and dwelt on insults, disdainful comments and personal attacks,” the statement said.



It also said Mr. Metuh stands by the party’s statement that the APC is plotting to impose a one-party system in the Nigeria and is now approaching some senior members of the PDP with phantom promises and threats ostensibly to destabilize the party.



“Is Alhaji Mohammed feigning ignorance of the various recent open and nocturnal meetings of his party with highly respected members of the PDP?



“We are aware that as part of the plot, the APC in the past few weeks, has been luring and encouraging some of our members to issue derogatory statements against the leadership of our party. While some of their accomplices have openly decamped, we know that others have been instructed to stay back and cause crisis within our ranks,” it said.



PDP said even in states where it lost, the APC has engaged in violence and instigating crisis all in the bid to impose a one-party system in the country.



“The PDP National Publicity Secretary does not need Alhaji Mohammed’s so-called six weeks crash course in party publicity.



“He does not need a course on how to insult and denigrate the office and person of the President of our country. He has already made it clear that the PDP will do no such thing but only focus on constructive criticism while presenting credible alternatives to the policies and programmes of the incoming administration in a manner that will promote democracy and the well-being of Nigerians.



“Nobody can learn anything from the APC National Publicity Secretary except abuses, divisiveness, lies and hate campaign. Nigerians know that Lai Mohammed is the originator of hate campaign with which he fouled our contemporary political arena. It is to say the least, despicable that his style badly influenced hundreds of young people who now engage in abusing each another on the social media thinking that such is what publicity is all about,” PDP said.



The party also challenged Mr. Mohammed to go back to the statements the PDP and APC issued in the last three months and he will realize that while he was busy with hate campaign, raining insults and telling lies, Mr. Metuh focused only on points, marketing its candidates while promoting policies and issues that engender national unity, stability and progress.



“He therefore has nothing to learn from Lai Mohammed” they said.



PDP argued that Mr. Metuh is not in any way the weakest link but has only chosen to be mature, humble and civil in dealing with national issues.



“We therefore counsel Alhaji Mohammed to be careful with the way he is parading himself as a Colossus bestriding the globe; otherwise one would think that he is suffering from Narcissist Personality Disorder (NPD).



“While we urge him to purge himself and learn to be civil in his approach to issues, we also strongly advice that “those whose palm kernels were cracked for them by a benevolent spirit should not forget to be humble,” PDP said.

Xenophobia: Another epic photo from South Africa


This is why I'm mad. Security forces turn their backs while their people steal from a store belonging to a foreigner. Shey if these ones don't have any sense, the police will also say they don't have sense?

As far as I am concerned, they are aiding these attacks on other blacks. Worst still, their government hasn't responded yet. Such a shame! Nothing has made me so mad in a long time. If like me, you saw that video of children tied up, beaten and gasoline poured on them, you would be mad too.




Buhari's Social Program: Very Possible - Obiagelli

Officially, Nigeria exports 2 million barrels of crude oil

daily. At the current price of 60 US dollars per barrel, that

translates into 120 million US dollars.



120 million x 365day = 43,800,000,000



43 billion dollars @ 60% ( rumoured sharing formula between Nigeria and oil companies)



That means Nigeria makes 25.8 billion dollars annually.



$25.8 billion x 200 naira = 5.1 trillion naira.





Nigeria's 2014 budget was N4.6 trillion meaning we still have about 0.5 trillion naira change.

FEDERAL INLAND REVENUE



Nigeria generated N4.69tn Revenue in 2014



http://ift.tt/1tBLkZO



Adding N4.69 trillion (firs) + 5.1 trillion (crude oil) = 9.79 trillion.



If our budget was N4.6 trillion then we have a balance of 5.1 trillion naira that nobody accounts for.



Barcanista asked where we will find 1.8 trillion to take care of our most vulnerable citizens, this balance of 5.1 trillion will be taken away from the pockets of criminals and militants.

EDIT.





I forgot the FG gets 52% of total income, even at that we have a balance of 0.6 trillion naira which is sufficient for the first stage of the social programs.

The APC government has said one of its major income earners is the mining industry.



This plans with financial discipline is very much achievable.



Please note that my analysis is based our major source of income ( oil and taxes), i have not touched other income earnings.


10 Things Nigerians Are Doing Better Than Other Africans

Nigeria, “the giant of Africa” may be far from perfect but there are certain things we do much better than other Africans. Even though, these are facts, the reality on the ground is that Nigeria is way ahead of some African countries. With our pulsating entertainment scene and the economy growth – ( Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa ), we can make a case for ‘African exceptionalism”. Although, Nigeria is confronting some major challenges, we are still standing out in Africa. There is something special about Nigerians that you can hardly miss; it is just difficult to ignore us because we are full of life and drama at the same time.



Below are 10 things Nigerians are doing better than other Africans:



1. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT



Nigerians have good business culture. We are accustomed to developing with new business ideas, creating small and large business organizations, from technology to entertainment. We bring in diverse perspectives to Nigerian business methods, we know how to interact and connect with investors and business partners within and outside Nigeria, as we position ourselves for greater success. No wonder, the country is the economic power-house in Africa; it is a base for business innovation and distinction.



2. WORK HARD, PLAY HARD



Nigerians work hard, and play hard. If you are looking for people who work so hard and never feel the pain, talk about Nigerians. The beautiful thing about us ––we are smart. We know how to work effectively and get great results through short cuts. You must have heard a lot of myths about Nigerians, some of these stories are true when it comes to cutting corners. We like to hustle and wrestle our ways to success.



3. LIVING LIFE TO IT'S FULLEST



Even as the ancient may have retained its grip over the lives of Nigerians in terms of culture and tradition, many have embraced the future, maintaining a laissez-faire attitude toward living life to its fullest. Nigerians understand that life is to be lived once and they get crazy with gadgets, cars, partying and socializing. The fun never ends even during funeral services.



4. EXCITING ENTERTAINMENT SCENE - BEST IN AFRICA



Nigerians are good in producing the finest movies in Africa. According to Wikipedia, “Nollywood is the second largest film industry in the world” and of course, the largest in Africa. Gone are the days when Nigerians make movies that do not make sense in quality and storyline. Some of the current movies that are produced by Nigerians can compete with some Hollywood movies even though most of these movies may not compete favourable in budget and spending but they are just amazing.



5. NIGERIANS CREATE WEALTH FROM MUNDANE THINGS



There is hardly a niche in the world where a Nigerian does not have power and influence. The quest to be the best has always been the backbone of our successful story. A lot of Nigerians started their stories from nothing and ended up as gurus in different industries. We strongly believe in the slogan ‘No condition is permanent’ – We go make am one day!



6. WE LOVE COLLECTIBLES -WE KNOW HOW IT WORKS



Maybe you have not heard that some Nigerians are buying some of the most costly buildings on the world’s most expensive street in London -Edgerton Crescent. It is not only in London that this love for luxury properties can be seen. Nigerians love showing off and buying these expensive properties around the world is simply one of the ways of expressing this lifestyle. With all the education, hard work, risk taking and smart investing, Nigerians love to live large and enjoy the finer things in life. Spend it if you’ve got it!



7. REAL SURVIVORS



We are everywhere, from London to New York. You can see us on the streets of New York struggling to sell CDs to make sure that we send money home. There is hardly a harsh economic terrain in the world where a Nigerian cannot survive. It is one trait that makes us exceptional in Africa.



8. LITERARY GEMS



Should we start calling names? Nigerians have a lot of writers since the days of Chinua Achebe who made a landmark in the literary world. Nigerians have gifted hands like Wole Soyinka, Chika Unigwe, Chimamanda Adichie and Helon Habila who are making waves around the world. It is not that there no other African writers who are doing great, there are so many but sure Nigerians does the literary thing better. Not to forget the new trend of blogging. (We no dey carry last!)



9. WE MAKE THINGS HAPPEN



Foreigners and other Africans give the thumbs up to Nigerians for always transforming dull and boring scenes to exciting ones. There is this thing about Nigerians that give them the ability to make things happen. From music, comedy to fashion, even our sense of humour is unique and that is why we are so different. Little wonder, thousands visit Nigeria during vacations or festivals to see and enjoy our exciting events and activities.



10. NIGERIANS TAKE THEIR DEMANDS TO THE STREETS



There is nothing that Nigerians would not protest these days, it is either they are fighting for the government to increase their salaries, demand for justice or cut down the fuel pump price. These protests always put our issues on the political agenda. The streets and the internet has become our warfronts and the pages of blogs are where we lash out their anger on anything displeasing. Nigerians have perfected the act of going for protest and they are never too shy to go public with their grievances.



You can see why we say that Nigerians can do certain things better than other Africans, the list is inconclusive and we would leave you to add to the list with your comments.

Reuben Abati responds to Punch Story - 'Jonathan demands N2trn election funds refund, audit'


The Presidential Spokesman has officially responded on behalf of the office of the president. Find it below...

The front-page story of the Sunday Punch of April 19 alleging that the Presidency spent a whopping N2 trillion on the 2015 General elections, and that a Committee of Five has been set up by President Jonathan to conduct an audit of how the funds were disbursed by party members and state officials is mischievous, false and embarrassing.

The President has not set up any committee as alleged in that story. It is also not true that the Presidency and the Peoples Democratic Party used state funds, or spent N2 trillion during the campaigns. The innuendoes are wrong-headed; the motives behind the story are suspicious.

The story alleges, for example, that the Presidency spent N2trillion on elections and embarked on a money-sharing spree to party



members, support groups and state officials. The authors of the story and their self-appointed megaphones further insinuate that public funds were deployed in this regard. Their allegation of a theft of public funds is extremely malicious.

How much is the budget of the Federal Government of Nigeria? The annual budget of the Federal Government is a little over N4 trillion.

The story is practically suggesting that half of the federal budget was spent on elections. This kind of reckless insinuation is meant to incite the public and instigate national crisis.

With FAAC having to do everything possible every month to ensure disbursements and with the Federal Government heavily committed to the war against terror in the North East, where is the alleged N2 trillion from the Federal purse?



President Jonathan and the People’s Democratic Party conducted the 2015 elections in strict accordance with the rule of law. The suggestion of any unlawful conduct cannot be sustained under any circumstances.



President Jonathan has done his best to protect and strengthen democracy and promote peace.

He justly deserves all the accolades that he has received from both Nigerians and the

international community for this. Certain persons and interest groups may not be happy that his profile has further risen and that his legacy is assured; but they do their country gross disservice when they act so unpatriotically.



Anyone who is engaged in imposing a crisis on the country by any means is not being fair to Nigeria. We can only appeal to the public to be wary of such reckless tactics now on display, which form the substance of an odd, malicious campaign after the elections.

We are particularly worried that since the March 28 and April 11 elections, some persons have continued to work very hard to diminish the Jonathan Presidency. They need to be reminded that the time for politics is over; it is now time to focus on the in-coming government, with emphasis on national development and moving the country forward.
