Former US President, Barack Obama has said women make better leaders than men.
Obama, while speaking in Singapore, said women aren’t perfect, but are “indisputably better” than men. He added that if women ran every country in the world there would be a general improvement in living standards and outcomes.
He said most of the problems in the world came from old people, mostly men, holding onto positions of power. He also spoke about political polarisation and the use of social media to spread falsehoods.
His words ;
Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us [men].
I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything… living standards and outcomes.

He recalls renting a room while in the University of Texas in the early 1930s across the street from the Gregory Gym, one of the few historical buildings remaining on the campus.
“The neighbors next door had a cow and chickens. You can imagine today a cow and chicken house across the street from Gregory, where the campus is so large now you wouldn’t recognize hardly anything,” John said.
“I thought he was just a fine fella, and I didn’t mind his looking over my shoulder,” Charlotte told The Washington Post, remembering the first time she saw John in a Zoology class in front of John while he made passes at her.

A Nigerian twitter user who is a Medical Doctor based in the UK has taken to his page to insinuate Actress Angela Okorie might have not been completely truthful with the alleged assassination attempt on her life which has been dominating the Nigerian Media Space since last weekend.
The twitter user shared;
I saw Angela Okorie’s videos. I sympathize with her but one thing glaring is that her narration and evidence don’t correlate at all.
Let’s start by stating the information she gave. She said she was attacked by assassins, they sprayed bullets for 30 minutes. No help came. She showed the aftermath videos of her self, her car, her xray.
As someone whose close relatives have escaped assassination. And lost a family friend to them, I know they don’t spend 30 minutes on a target they can finish off in 2 mins. Its armed robbers that may waste such time cos they are trying to steal as much as they can.
The only time even armed robbers spend such time spraying bullets is when robbing a bullion van or bank. Looking at the way the glasses shattered, it’s unlikely to be bullet proof. So the 30 minutes shooting sounds weird.
Let’s go into details. There is no scratch or bullet mark on the body of the car in a 30 mins gunfire. This means that either they were shooting at close range, they target very good or the glasses were not broken by bullets.
It brings the question again. If it was 1 or 2, they would have left her dead or in critical condition. And the biggest question, the glasses were broken, they had full access to the car, why didn’t they finish the job. How come the windscreen wasn’t damaged.
Now to the part that first caught my attention. The X-ray. Pellets have very high density and are distinct from bone in xrays. What I saw is either not metal pellets or the xray was of poor quality. And as you can see, they’re just hanging above the skin, no penetration.
This is how they usually look in Xray. Almost white.
Glass was my suspicion. This is how glass looks on xray. Similar intensity with bone. More similar to the one she posted.
Definitely there was an attack. But not just as it was narrated. Actually Very different from what was narrated.
Gunshots being sprayed for 30minutes is not something that only 10 ppl will talk about. Not to talk of 1 person. In this present age, it will trend before we know she was the victim.
Back to evidence. I don’t want to screenshot her face but the injuries are not consistent with bullet wounds. Looks like someone that was in an accident or brawl. And the cuts look like glass. I may be wrong.
One big question, if it was robbers and not assassins, why lie?
Hmmmm. Now the controversial part, What will make one lie about their attacker.. First 2 things that come to mind, guilt and shame.
In Nigeria, what kind of attacker will make a victim feel some guilt or shame to expose.
Options;
1- someone you’re owing money,
2- someone you made mouth you’ll deal with,
3- someone you’re sleeping with their partner,
4- someone you stole from
Whatever you think, its your own opinion. But the only fact established in this thread is that the narration and evidence provided don’t tally. And I actually didn’t see any reason for someone that was attacked by unknown ppl to provide so much evidence. That raised brows already
If she’s actually lying out of guilt or shame and not clout or something else, what do you think the reason is among those 4 options?
Dede Mabiaku, who was Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s protege, has said the late legend died slowly after being injected with a poisonous substance while in NDLEA custody.

Dede said this while expressing concern for Omoyele Sowore. He said Sowore needs to be taken for urgent medicals after being held in DSS custody to avoid a repeat of what happened to Fela.
Dede also said he is speaking up now because no one refused to reveal the truth about what really led to Fela’s death.

Wizkid and Tiwa are major trending topics on twitter this morning and it is because of what went down on stage during most recent performance.
The pair are known to be goofy with each other and some fan theories suggest they might be having a steamy romantic affair off the camera as they have never been shy to pack on some major PDA much to the chagrin of haters and approval of fans.
However, Wizkid has been accused of disrespecting Tiwa as he has (on many occasions) been caught on camera grabbing the ‘behind’ of Tiwa when they are both performing.
Apparently those talks have gotten to Wizkid and this time around, when the moment came for Starboy to ‘grab the bum’, he respectfully declined and did the catholic sign of the cross to save him from the temptation Tiwa was spewing his way.
The pair shared a warm embrace afterwards and it was all love and positive energy on stage.
Moesha Buduong has taken a dig at fellow actress and former friend, Salma Mumin over her comment of never speaking to her again.
In an interview with Emelia Brobbey on her Okukuseku show, Salma emphatically stated that she will never forgive Moesha or talk with her again over an undisclosed incident.
Salma said;
”I have forgiven all those who have offended me this year because there is reason harboring that anger…As for Moesha, she is someone I don’t ever think I will talk to again. I don’t know what the future holds, but she isn’t someone I want to have a personal contact with.”
Slamming her colleague over the comment, Moesha alleged that Salma thinks she is better than her because she publicly admitted to dating married men in an interview with CNN. She insisted that she is not that girl Salma thinks she can control.
Moesha also accused her colleague of dating married men and still dating some of them, while covering that up with her businesses.
She also accused Salma Mumin of being bitter because her butt surgery wasn’t as successful as hers.
Moesha wrote;
Salma Mumin who served a response to Moesha via an Insta-Live video, stated that she has been quiet for so long which is why so many people misunderstand the situation and see her in a way she doesn’t like. She also alleged that Moesha was fake which was why she cut her off.
Also reacting to the controversy about her age, Salma stated that she is not the first person to lie about her age and if she says she is 30 people should leave it at that and not add more it.
