For all the fans of Jeta and Mbong Amata, this may break your hearts. The prolific movie director and his beautiful actress wife of five years Mbong Amata have separated. They've actually been separated for about a year now but y'all are just hearing about it. And from what I gathered from source Jeta and  Mbong didn't fight, they just decided to let go of each other.

Jeta met Mbong when she was only 16 years of age in Calabar in 2001 during a film audition. He waited for her to mature and they started dating when she turned 18 two years later. In 2008, they welcomed a girl, that same year, Jeta married Mbong. They later moved from their base in Abuja to Los Angeles so Jeta could work with his movie projects.

Pres. Goodluck Jonathan will to probe aviation minister - Presidency

Click banner for more info

President Jonathan will soon order relevant government agencies to investigate the purchase of two bulletproof vehicles for the Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah, Punch reports.

Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, in an interview with Punch on Friday said President Jonathan would not shield the minister.

Gulak, however, said the President would not take a decision on the fate of the embattled minister based on media reports.

He said Jonathan’s decision would be based on verifiable facts, which could only be achieved when relevant government agencies investigate the matter.

The presidential aide said Jonathan would not hesitate to show anybody found guilty of corruption or impunity the way out of his government.

He assured Nigerians that the President was on top of the situation. He did not, however, disclose when the President would order the probe. He also did not name the agencies that would probe the allegation. Gulak said;

“I can assure you that President Jonathan will not shield the minister or any government official for that matter if he receives information that is true. In this particular instance, the reports are in the media. But media reports are not enough to act on. The President is on top of the situation. He will direct appropriate authorities to investigate the matter. Anybody found wanting in terms of corruption or impunity, President Jonathan will not hesitate to show such person the way out of his government.

“The most important thing is that such decision must be based on facts as provided by appropriate government agencies that will investigate, not based on media reports.”
