The Nigerian Senate has responded to a Premuim Times report that, it has plans to illegally spend an estimated N4.7 billion on exotic cars for its President, Bukola Saraki, and 108 other members.
In a statement signed by Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, the senate revealed that the vehicles are to be used for execution of committee assignments, noting that, they are not meant for individual senators.
The statement reads:
The vehicles are not meant for individual Senators. They are purchased for the use of the committees.“For those who may want to find out what happened to the ones bought in the past, we cannot expect that after four years, the vehicles will still be in the condition to effectively serve the present committees.
The best practice in government institutions and even private organizations is for official vehicles allocated to top officials after four years of use to be sold at the depreciated value”, Abdullahi stated.
“We have been very frugal, responsive and responsible in our spendings. We have also cut down on several expenses. However, there are certain expenses and purchases that are normal in government and any organisation generally. The legislature is not an exception.
“With respect to the official vehicles of the Senate President, it should be noted that majority of the vehicles in his convoy are his personal vehicles while some of the vehicles that he inherited, including his official vehicles and the back up car, are so old that they are already developing faults and not fit for long journey. We can recall that on several occasions, his official car broke down.
Three instances will suffice here. I remember on a visit to Nasarawa state for a wedding of the daughter of a colleague. Other occasions were at the National Mosque three weeks ago and at the Abuja airport.
“The implication is that the vehicles in his official convoy are so old that they are already causing embarrassment for the Senate. The media should know that a man of his antecedent will not at this point be excited with purchase of new cars. His official cars are really long overdue for replacement.
“The media should avoid deliberately portraying the legislature as irresponsible and inciting the people against it. We seek the understanding of the media to explain issues and situations to the people. Both the media and the legislature have different roles to play in sustaining our democracy and none should be seen to be undermining the other.”

It’s been revealed scientifically that women who delay motherhood until their late 20s and early 30s, are more likely to enjoy better health when they reach 40 years old.
Women who give birth to their first child between the ages of 15 and 24 have worse health in midlife.
Dr Kristi Williams, study co-author and an associate professor of sociology at The Ohio State University, said:
‘We still need to be concerned that women who are having births in their early 20s may face more health challenges as they reach middle age than those who wait longer.
Researchers compared women who had their first birth as teenagers (ages 15-19), during early adulthood (20-24) and when they were older (ages 25-35).
Women who were between the ages of 25 and 35 tended to report having better health at age 40 than the other two groups.
Yet, women who gave birth for the first time as teenagers and young adults reported similar states of health at midlife.The study also found that women who were married when they had their first child reported better health at age 40.
A 15-year-old Arabic pupil, Sodiq Isa, has been arrested for allegedly beating a 26-year-old neighbour, Johnson Adeboye, to death with a stick on Townhall Street in the Amukoko area of Lagos.
According to PUNCH, the duo reportedly had a disagreement after the deceased complained that the suspect was making a noise with a plate. The suspect was alleged to have abused the deceased, which led to a fight.
In the course of the scuffle, Isa, who is the third of four children, beat the deceased to death with a stick.
He was said to have been arrested by policemen from the Amukoko division before he was transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.
The suspect said Adeboye, a Keke Marwa (tricycle) driver, had first attacked him, and he was forced to retaliate.
He recounted;
“I was returning from Arabic school at about 5pm that day (December 5). The plate I used in taking food to school fell from my hands. I picked it up and went to a shop close by to clean it up. There was a table in front of the shop; so, I hit the plate on the table to remove the sand inside the plate. Johnson (Adeboye) was in front of the shop, and he told me that I was making a noise with it.
I told him I was only trying to clean up the sand in the plate. He asked me if I was mad, that why should I be talking to him like that. I responded and told him I was not mad. He warned me that if I continued to talk back at him, he would beat me up. I ignored his threat and walked home.”
He added that the victim followed him home and continued the threat.
Later, Isa’s grandma, who was at home at the time, reportedly intervened and asked what the matter was. The suspect claimed that he was explaining what had transpired to her when the victim attacked him from behind.
“Johnson came from behind and started beating me. Some people around separated us and he left, but he returned some minutes later to assault me again.
People separated us for the second time, but he went to call one of his friends. Both of them started assaulting me.
It was at this point that I felt the urge to defend myself. I picked a stick on the ground and hit Johnson on the head. Immediately, he fell and became unconscious. Neighbours gathered and rushed him to the hospital. But it was too late as he was already dead,” he added.
The suspect, who said he wanted to be an Islamic cleric, begged for forgiveness, saying it was not his intention to kill the deceased.
Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, said investigations were ongoing.
A 15-year-old schoolgirl has been charged with concealment of birth, infanticide and manslaughter after giving birth to a child secretly and allowing the child to die.
The Sun reports that “the girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is accused of failing to provide the baby with care and medical attention following the birth, leading to the new born’s death.”
Speaking at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court today, Judge Mark Hadfield told the youngster: “This is clearly distressing for you appearing in court then having to listen to the legal argument.”
The incident was said to have happened in south Manchester in the early hours of February 11 and since then the detectives have been investigating the matter trying to decide what they would charge the girl with but today she has been charged.
Reality TV Star, Kim Kardashian who of recent just welcomed her second child – a Boy with her Celebrity Hubby – Kanye West has revealed that like her sisterKhloe, she has decided to have her son – Saint West’s Placenta made into pills.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashian star shared a photo of the pills inside a bottle via her website and revealed that the pills will aid and help her ward off post-partum depression which she presently suffers from.
The 35 year old shared the picture with a lengthy caption that totally explained her reason for having the pills made, read below;
‘So, I’m really not this holistic person or someone who would have ever considered eating my placenta,”And when I say “eat my placenta,” I mean that I’m having it freeze-dried and made into a pill form- not actually fry it like a steak and eat it (which some people do, BTW).”I thought, why not try it? What do I have to lose?’
‘I really didn’t want the baby blues and thought I can’t go wrong with taking a pill made of my own hormones- made by me, for me’.
‘I started researching and read about so many moms who felt this same way and said the overall healing process was so much easier.’
I had great results and felt so energized and didn’t have any signs of depression! I definitely had to do it again. ‘Every time I take a pill, I feel a surge of energy and feel really healthy and good. I totally recommend it for anyone considering it!’
Reports have it that a Final Year Student of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko Ondo State – Olumuyiwa Ewarawon who was studying Psychology at the School has been murdered by a suspected para-military organization operating in the University.
He was the only son of His Aged Mother.
The family in a petition to the Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Mike Ogbodu, filed by the counsel to the deceased’s father, Chief Goodluck Ibitoye Ewarawon, alleged that Olumuyiwa was attacked in his room at Shanghai Hostel in Akungba, a private hostel outside the school campus, by the armed gang of seven boys under the guise of being student cadet officers.
The counsel to the family, Olufemi Meduoye, said:
“The armed assailants broke into Olumuyiwa’s room while he was asleep and attacked him, thereafter, brutalized, bruised and inflicted on him fatal injuries from which he fell into coma.
The gang dumped Olumuyiwa’s body at the General Hospital, Iwarooka Akoko before good samaritans brought the incident to the attention of the family three days later.”
They said they took the comatose body of Olumuyiwa from the hospital to Trauma Centre Ondo which instantly referred the case to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife.
The family said the boy never came out of coma and died later in the hospital.
While the University authorities responded by condemning all para-military organizations in the institution, it was reported late yesterday that two of the suspects had been arrested.
Police Image Maker, Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident said that the suspect is on the run and that detectives are on his trail. He, however, assured that the suspect would soon be apprehended and made to face the law court.
However, the family of the deceased is insisting that the culprits who allegedly killed their son should be made to face the wrath of the law.
They urged the Commissioner of Police to use his good office to ensure a full investigation of the murder of Olumuyiwa by the suspected Cadet Officers.
Also, they asked the authorities of the institution to look at the activities of some armed gang who operated under the guise of para-military to attack members of the public.
The family also asked the security forces and the state government to be alert to the activities of such organizations with a view to protecting the lives of innocent citizens.

Racing our history as Africans, Agbadas were only worn by our rulers, chiefs and anybody in a powerful position. During those times, you cannot just wear Agbada to a function,it was left for the rich and the royal family.

Ghanaian actress and movie producer, Yvonne Nelson, have come out to reveal that the movie, ‘Beast of No Nation‘ does not qualify for a nomination at the Ghana Movie Awards.
The actress told Ghana’s KMJ on Hitz FM that the movie does not qualify for a nomination because it is not a Ghanaian production.
‘It’s not fair to all of us if they submit that movie because it is not a Ghanaian production. The fact that it was shot in Ghana doesn’t make it a Ghanaian production. So I won’t agree to that. If we are trying to promote our own, why will we go for a foreign production?’ ‘You cannot compare a Hollywood production to a Ghanaian movie. The budgets are totally different,’ she stated.
The movie, which features Hollywood actor, Idris Elba and Ghana’s Abraham Attah, has been submitted for the 2015 Ghana Movie Awards which is scheduled to hold on December 30.
John Njamah, Nollywood actor, and brother to bulgy-eyed actress, Empress Njamah, has revealed he can go to any length to interpret a romantic scene, as well as going nude to play a role if such is demanded.

When asked if he can act nude, the ‘Fuji House of Commotion’ actor said,“Yes, I can do that. I know that, that one might just be your headline. It’s a job and it has to be done right. So I can go to the extreme to play my role, be it romance, any role for that matter. I’m that kind of person. It has to be done right.
“Even in my directing, I have a way of making my artiste do it right and do it realistically, I always advise them to be true to life, which is my key. A lot has been said to be going on in Nollywood.
Speaking on the alleged trend, where artistes pay producers to feature in a movie, John said, “One word for it; stupid! I don’t think you want me to start to explain how stupid it is. It is outright, blatantly stupid. It is a stupid idea. And that is why I don’t relate with such kind of persons.”
On his plans to get married, he said, “Ha, they have snatched me o; in fact, my life has not been the same since I’ve been snatched. This life that I’m living is not my own, madam will soon call right now and ask, why haven’t you called me? So I will be walking her down the aisle very soon, all things being equal, it should happen soon,” John added.

It has been a while. He came to my house with Fred but then I called him after that, he did not pick up nor returned my call.

5 Types of Soccer Fans you will Find at Viewing Centres
Fans are the ones who make football interesting to watch. Imagine an empty stadium without fans! Boring, right.
Their noise, boos and shenanigans create a fever pitch and energetic atmosphere such that viewers never have a dull moment all through the game.
In Lagos, there are viewing centres in nearly all the nooks and crannies of the city. And at the weekend, fans troop to these centres to watch their favourite teams, especially those playing in Europe playing the game of soccer.
At these various centres, you are likely to find all kinds of football fans and Jovago.com, identifies five of these.
The passionate fan
The passionate fan is more like the die-hard aficionado. He does not miss any of the games played by his team. Their mood is very predictable: happy when their team is winning and sad whenever they lose. This fan can only be approached when his team is victorious.
The Bad belle fan
The primary mission of this type of fan is to taunt other fans. They are experts in bad mouthing everything about the teams or coaches that they utterly dislike to the annoyance of other fans. You find them at all viewing centres.
The football Professors
These are the football encyclopaedias. They are the ‘google’ of their favourite teams. For example, if they support Arsenal, they can tell you everything about the club from the number of trophies won, to set records and many other relevant statistics that an average fan would not know. You don’t want to argue with this type fan because they are very opinionated. They believe that their statistics will win them any argument in soccer.
The betting fan
Sports betting is the trend now. There are many betting companies in Lagos today where you can place a bet on different games daily. The betting fan is always at the edge of his seat as he follows the live score of the different teams he placed his bet on. They have little or no passion for the game but are just concerned about the bets so that can win some cash.
The Neutral fan
They are neither passive nor active, they just love watching and enjoying good football. If they are asked the team they support, the response is “I support any winning team’!They just love soccer!

There is nothing better than appreciating a woman’s beauty to keep her in constant bliss.
However, most men do not understand how important it is for a woman to feel beautiful.
By using these five strategies, she will begin to understand that, even though she may look nothing like a runway model, you still think she is the hottest and most beautiful woman in the world.
1. Compliment her inner beauty as well as her outer beauty
If you want to make her feel beautiful, do not forget to mention the parts of her character that makes her a beautiful person. Beauty isn’t skin deep, and a truly pretty face must have a beautiful soul too.
So, when she shows off one of her great skills, whatever it may be, recognize it to make her feel like a beautiful person, inside and out.
2. Make sure she catches you looking at her
If you can’t help staring at your woman and getting lost in her eyes, it just shows her how truly beautiful she is to you.
So, make eye contact with her across the room, then give her a special smile that’s reserved just for her. It will make her heart beat a little faster.
Lol. Someone said Chris Brown wouldn’t like this at all… Yeah well, what can he do?
Hollywood celebrity, Karrueche Tran is pictured here sharing a warm hug with Drake‘s father at an event..It’s unknown if they met at an or have known each other before now.
It should be recalled that Chris once accused Drake of trying to creep with Karueche when they were dating.
In line with the claims by the former minister of Finance (state) that he gave N600million to the former Deputy National Chairman of Peoples Demcoratic Party, PDP, Chief Bode George and 5 other members of the Contact and Mobilization Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2015 general election, the former has denied collecting N100 million from Mr Bashir Yuguda.
The PDP leader, in a statement said:
“My attention has been drawn to another mischievous and deliberately fraudulent claim that I collected N100 million from Bashir Yuguda, the former Minister of State for Finance. This is another blatant falsehood, stripped of any iota of truth.
This is yet again a depraved continuation of lynch mob journalism orchestrated by an online newspaper.” The salient fact is that very early this year, long before the election period, the party set up Contact and Mobilization Commttee for each zone to reconcile various factions and ensure a firm unity of purpose within the zones before the election. I was elected as the Chairman for the South-West zone.
“The committee which was made up of 18 senior members of the party with distinguished history of honour and exemplary leadership, met at least 10 times in my office in Lagos. These people travelled all the way from every corner of the South-West, with three members representing each state.
All of them are very much alive to testify to my assertions. Sometime in the middle of these deliberations, Yuguda came to me and said the party was reimbursing the 18 elders of the committee for their transportation, accommodation and feeding allowance for the work that was done.
“The committee later submitted the report of its deliberations to the party and then wound up. For all these efforts Yuguda gave the committee only $30,000. That was less than N6 million at that time. Yuguda can never claim that he gave the Committee N100 million. That is the figment of the imagination of rascally scribblers purporting to be journalists. Again, facts are sacred.”
