Click banner for more info

Aristide Bancé, Burkina Faso’s centre forward was the b*tt of jokes in Nigeria not because he tormented Nigeria’s defence when both side clashed during the just concluded AFCON 2013 in South Africa but due to his looks. The FC Augsburg of Germany striker was often given uncomplimentary remarks by Nigerian fans but the dreadlocks wearing player has posted a picture of himself on Instagram purportedly targeted at his naysayers with the caption ‘Rich & Famous Forget About the Face People!’
Maybe his latest effort will get the ‘haters’ off his back or just fuel their disdain for him. Only time will tell.

If you are a judge you get off pretty easy even after committing serious crimes.  The New Jersey Supreme Court has sanctioned a judge from the Superior Court of Ocean County, who groped six women at a party.  The court suspended judge Marquis Jones for four months without pay and ordered him to complete an alcohol treatment program.
 A complaint said the 53 years old, married father of two children, inappropriately touched five female probation officers and an employee of a pub in Toms River during the party organized by the Probation Association of New Jersey.  The judge, through his lawyer, said he was unable to remember what happened because he was drunk. Jones denied any "intentional, inappropriate" touching.

Jones earns N26 Million Naira a year.

Most of the African countries that receive foreign stars as ambassadors of a noble cause use them to raise money worldwide. Politicians in United States sought celebrities to boost their campaign funds. Not in Nigeria, politicians use workers’ salaries and funds that can be better used to relieve the pain and suffering of their people to pay foreign celebrities, failed and former politicians to grace local occasions even for a few minutes. 

It has never made sense that owner of ThisDay, Mr. Obaigbena, that could not pay the salaries of his workers, many times paid former presidents and celebrities just to peep at Beyonce’s boobs and grace various occasions in Lagos, Nigeria. Not to be outdone, Gov. Fashola also arranged for Ms. Kardashian to drop by and just say “Hey Naija”. Are these people star struck or suffering from some deep underlining complex?

PATIENCE JONATHAN: GREED, CORRUPTION AND UNBRIDLED AMBITION

Click banner for more info

Why spend five hundred million naira on a thanksgiving party? Why allocate 4 billion naira to a white elephant project in Abuja. Why lobby, and then accept the Permanent Secretary position in the Bayelsa State civil service when you knew you were not qualified for such an appointment? Why engage in a public quarrel with your predecessor over a public land deal in Abuja? Why lie to the nation about your medical condition and secret treatments overseas. Why the bombastic statements, and the supercilious attitude? What’s the immoderations that have come to define you?” The questions are almost endless. But this has been the ways of Patience Faka -- the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Countries will start to shoot down US drones - exclusive interview with Rick Rozoff ( MUST READ)

"The US and its NATO allies, and its NATO allies are, we have to recall, all the major colonial powers that had formally divided up and ruled the African continent: Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, later on Germany and Italy, also Turkey during the Ottoman period, and this is a force that is not going back to supposedly restore order or pacify Africa again. I am sure the Africans on the ground, if not their governments, are nervous, they recollect what happened the last time these guys were there."

The world is just starting to take notice of the expansion of US drone usage worldwide. US drones are becoming increasingly larger, deadlier and greater in number (now at approximately 8,000) and pose a threat to world peace. In addition for NATO’s AFRICOM and the US, Mali is important due to its strategic location near uranium reserves, hence the recent military operations in the country, which are characterized as another “energy grab” by Voice of Russia regular contributor Rick Rozoff.
