Former Head of State and Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) presidential candidate in the 2011 general elections, General Muhammadu Buhari and the national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Senator Bola Tinubu, have dropped their ambition to contest for the nation’s number one job on the platform of the newly formed opposition mega party, All Progressive Congress (APC).

In place of their personal ambitions, they are now to work with other leaders of the opposition party to present younger and credible presidential candidate that can match and defeat whoever is going to emerge

Members of Chukwuemeka Ezeugo’s church, have warned Nigerians to be prepared for dire consequences, if their General Overseer, popularly known as Reverend King, is indeed killed by hanging.

This warning emanated from the last Sunday service held at the church, Christian Praying Assembly (CPA), located at Ajao Estate, Lagos. “It will be absolute tragedy in this country if they touch our Holiness, they are just ignorant of this,” the goatee-spotting acting general overseer, Reverend Elijah King, threatened on the pulpit.

Not many people spared coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi when he likened his boys to that of 1994 squad before the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by South Africa. He was roundly vilified for daring to compared his ‘amateur’ team with the all-conquering 1994 set.
 Keshi had on Monday, January 14 in a chat with Supersport.com at the team’s camp in Faro, Portugal said that, “many Nigerians don’t know how good this team is. I see great potentials in them and they can go places,” adding that “in Emenike I see a player who can be like Rashidi Yekini and Godfrey Obaobona will grow in his position”.
2013 Eagles Squad Shortly after Keshi’s comment went viral, it was received with knocks from some people including his former team mates. One of those that disagreed with him is Peter Rufai. Rufai who manned the posts both at the 1994 Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup said, “our ’94 squad was

Picture: Brook is 20, Carlie-17.
Brooke suffers from a mysterious illness doctors have named “Syndrome X,” because there are only three known cases of it in the entire world.
Basically, though her chronological age is 20, Brooke’s body looks like that of 5 year old child. And, to complicate her condition, different parts of her body are aging at different rates.
Her brain is similar to a newborn baby’s; her bones resemble a 10 year old child’s bones; and she still has her baby teeth. Brooke has had to endure a multitude of serious medical conditions during her life, including a

PRETORIA (AFP) – South African Olympic star Oscar Pistorius broke down in tears in the dock Friday as he was charged with the Valentine’s Day murder of his model girlfriend.
The 26-year-old superstar Paralympian gold medallist wept as Pretoria magistrate Desmond Nair announced a single charge of killing his lover, blonde covergirl Reeva Steenkamp.
The double amputee, an inspirational hero of last year’s London Olympics, sat hunched as the court heard that prosecutors would argue that the murder was premeditated, a charge that could carry a life sentence.
Twenty-nine-year-old Steenkamp, who was due to appear in a celebrity reality show from this weekend, was shot four times at Pistorius’s upmarket Pretoria home in the early hours of Thursday.
She was shot with his 9mm pistol, suffering wounds to the head and hand and died at the scene.
The Beeld newspaper, which first broke the dramatic news of his arrest, said Friday the shots that killed

BANGKOK (AFP) – A kiss lasting nearly two-and-a-half days propelled one determined Thai couple to a new record for the world’s longest smooch on Valentine’s Day, organisers said Friday.
Hospital security guard Ekkachai Tiranarat, 44, and 33-year-old housewife Laksana locked lips for 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds, smashing last year’s Guinness World Record by more than eight hours.

The romance of the clinch may have been marred by competition rules requiring contestants to remain on their feet throughout, slurp food and liquids through a straw and even go to the toilet while continuing to press their lips together.
“They were very exhausted because they did not sleep for two-and-a-half days, they had to stand all the time so they were very weak,” Sompron Naksuetrong, vice president of event organiser Ripley’s Believe It

About 1300 teachers in Kaduna have failed in tests generally set for primary four pupils, Commissioner for Education Alhaji Usman Mohammed has revealed. He made the shocking disclosure at an education summit tagged “Education for all is responsibility of all”, held at the Hassan Usman Katsina House yesterday.
 “A total of 1,599 teachers selected from across the state were given primary four tests in Mathematics and Basic literacy. Only one of them scored 75 percent, 250 scored between 50 to 75 percent and 1,300 scored below 25 percent,” he said. According to him, the same examination was conducted for 1,800 primary school pupils but that larger percent of them failed woefully. “We are not surprised about the performance of the pupils because how can they know it, when their teachers don’t know it,” he added.
The commissioner said larger percentage of the head teachers of the primary schools are not competent, and

Kenyan Rapper, Prezzo has finally broken his silence on the passing of his Nigerian girlfriend, Goldie.

In a sorrowful poem shared on his Facebook page he described his pain at the loss of his fellow BBA contestant.

“God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be.
So he put his arms around you, and whispered come with me.
With tearful eyes we watched you, as we saw you pass away.
Although we love you deeply, we could not make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest.

        

At least one meteorite crashed into Russia earlier today, causing several giant explosions and forcing schools and offices to be evacuated. The meteorite reportedly landed in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia, where witnesses said the explosions shattered the windows of nearby buildings and disrupted cell phone service. There were over 400 injuries, and damage was reported in six cities. Information is still coming in and we'll update accordingly, but for now check out the amazing videos and photos from the scene.

According to sources from Reddington hospital, where Goldie died last night, the likely cause of her sudden death is pulmonary embolism.

According to an article on the New York Times website, “Life-threatening blood clots and flying have been linked for more than 50 years, but a new study of business travelers confirms the risk, particularly for those who take long flights or fly frequently.
“Immobility is considered a major factor behind the condition, called deep vein thrombosis.
“But while it is often referred to as “economy-class syndrome” because of the cramped seating there, D.V.T. also occurs among those who fly in business class and first class, the researchers found.
“People who fly four hours or more, the study found, have three times the risk of developing clots compared with periods when they did not travel.

On The 14th Of Feb. 2013, it was confirmed that Goldie was dead.

Here is a Round-Up Of The Life & Times of The Iconic Singer - Goldie

PROFILE OF SUSAN OLUWABIMPE ‘GOLDIE’ HARVEY:
Growing up in a family where music was virtually the only bright spot in a tripartite existence that revolved round home, school and church, it did not come as much surprise that Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey now known as Goldie chose to be a singer, songwriter and performer. If it was to give vent to a childhood social denial, available indices indicate that Goldie is making a resounding success of her career choice. If it was to prove to her hitherto unbending dad that her sometimes rebellious streak as a teen was just a quest for her true essence, she has equally succeeded. And everyboy must indeed be very proud of this young lady because less than five years into her musical odyssey, the crown of Nigeria’s nonpareil pop diva now nestles snugly on her golden mane.

Even the world's fattest woman has more sex than you. But don't worry, she's having more sex than most people.
Pauline Potter, who held the Guinness World Record for fattest female on the planet, says she's lost up to 100 pounds thanks to regular sex with her ex-husband. Well, regular might be both an understatement and an overstatement. We're talking up to seven times a day, and as ex-hubby Alex — who tops 200 pounds but weighs less than one of Potter's legs — explains to Closer, the sex is frequent but hardly normal.
“It’s hard to position her and find her pleasure spots as she has a lot of fat in the pelvic area. But it turns me on knowing she’s satisfied. Although once, when she got on top, I couldn’t breathe.”
Way to go, Pauline! The fact that she's such an unlikely spokesperson for the health benefits of sex makes

This morning, I was speaking with Brian Mech, the vice-president of the medical device company Second Sight, when his land-line rang. Mech had just been telling me about the fifteen years his company has spent developing the Argus II, a retinal prosthesis that restores partial sight to people with a degenerative eye disease called Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). It had been a long process, Mech said, but he can count on one hand the number of days he hasn't woken up excited about the work ahead. And they were nearing the end--Europe approved the Argus II in 2011, and the FDA was expected to give the green light some time soon.
When his other line rang, Mech excused himself and set down the phone. I could hear a muffled version of his other conversation. After a few seconds, I heard "I gotta go," and then he was back. "Emily," he said,

President of Kennis Music, Keke Ogungbe, in a statement last night has confirmed the death of Goldie.  The message read “With a deep sense of loss, we announce the shocking death of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey. Goldie, 31, died on Thursday after she complained of a severe headache shortly after her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy Award. She was rushed from her Park View, Ikoyi, Lagos residence to her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival at exactly 7:30pm in the evening. We consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the circumstance in which she passed away; the abundance of talent she exhibited in her short but eventful music career and the various opportunities her trip to the United States of America would have availed her. She is survived by her father, step- mother, brothers and sisters. We deeply sympathise with her family and fans all over the world and very grateful to all and sundry, especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their concern and prompt reportage. We shall keep everybody informed as events unfold as we are devastated by the

I'm shaking so bad. She and I had a conversation a few days ago while she was in the US. Oh dear Lord. Is this how people die? May her soul rest in peace..amen.

The actor and former addict tells how TB Joshua rescued him from alcohol, drugs and the mental problems that plagued him for many years in a recent interview. Hanks battled alcohol and drug addiction for years and his mental state deteriorated over time. The former SA to Delta governor, Uduaghan, who has since relocated to Ghana tells his story...

"Yes I got my healing through TB Joshua. It is our Lord's doing. I never believed in miracles until this happened to me.

Even when I was special assistant to our dear governor, I was not in a good state of mind and this affected my work in the government before I was advised to seek for solution in Ghana.

A man will live to curse the day he decided to romp with a woman other than his wife following a series of 'manhood disappearances' whenever he gets ready to make love at home.
Phbion Mutize, a Zimbabwean, has been living with his 'condition' for the past four months. The situation has become so bad that his wife has forced him out of their home.

"I am almost a destitute now. I haven't had a decent bath for the past two months. My wife doesn't want to see me at home because she consulted a trusted herbalist in town with the intention of helping me only to be told that I slept with a married woman. She meant well when she consulted the traditional healer but she discovered I betrayed her trust," Mutize related his ordeal.

Asked if it was true that he slept with a fenced woman, Mutize said his situation was a pity because the woman whom he had a stint with was denying being protected by supernatural means.

Conservatives in Pakistan tacked up posters urging people to boycott Valentine's Day on Thursday, saying it's a western-inspired event that's spreading vulgarity in their country. Romantics fought back with an arsenal of flowers, pink teddy bears and heart-shaped balloons.
"Here in this part of Pakistan we are faced with bomb blasts, and we don't have much opportunity to enjoy and celebrate so to me it is one of those few occasions to celebrate," said Taimur Hassan, a 29-year-old man working in the northwestern city of Peshawar. He was out buying a gift for his girlfriend, and looking for something different than a stuffed bear he got her last year.
That's exactly the type of behavior many of Pakistan's conservatives are worried about.
For them, Valentine's Day is nothing but an occasion to encourage illicit relations between the country's young — unmarried — males and females. It's a sign that Western culture and values are eating away the

A man from Ivory Coast doused himself with fuel and set himself on fire at Rome's Fiumicino airport on Thursday after showing officials a deportation order, police said.
The incident occurred in a customs police office in Terminal 3 of the airport, Italy's largest. Police said the man had poured a canister of fuel over himself and ignited it with a lighter.
