EFCC set to probe Jonathan’s ministers, aides

According to a report by Punch, EFCC has concluded plans to commence the probe of former ministers, special advisers, heads of parastatals and aides of former President Jonathan. EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde has already directed that all petitions against them should be forwarded to him to be acted upon as the anti-graft agency is determined to expose any corrupt act during the last administration.

So in a few weeks time, some of these former public holders at the federal level will be invited for questioning, especially those whose establishments got huge allocations from the FG like defence, petroleum resources and power.

Buhari -We may negotiate with Boko Haram

The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Friday, disclosed in an interview with the BBC, that the Federal Government has said that it is open to negotiations with the Boko Haram sect in order to find a lasting solution to the security crisis in the country, if the group is willing.

 

In the interview, Adesina said the Federal Government was not ruling out negotiations with the sect if it would put an end to the activities of the group, stating that the insurgents had attacked so many villages and killed scores of people.

When BBC asked if the Federal Government was considering negotiations with the insurgent group, Adesina said:

“If they are willing, why not? You know attempts have been made for negotiations in the past and they didn’t work. Every reasonable person would want to see the end to this insurgency. So if they are willing, why not? You can’t rule that out.”

“These were very vicious attacks. People were killed in scores and it’s so sad,” he said.

 

The President had during his inauguration speech said he had launched a strategy to deal with the sect by relocating the military headquarters to Maiduguri, Borno State.

 

When asked if this would work, Adesina replied:

“This is going to work. There are machineries being put in place. It’s going to work. The recent killings by the sect were meant to break our resolve, to weaken it, but that will stop. It remains a priority to him (Buhari) to deal with the group.

“You will notice that his first two weeks of administration were dedicated to tackling the insurgency. He visited Chad and Niger Republics and the following week, the Presidents of those countries also visited him in Abuja.

“The President of Benin Republic and the Defence Minister of Cameroon visited him; machinery is being put in place and once we’re through, we will see the end of the group. The target time for the deployment of the multinational force is July ending; that is in a couple of weeks.”

JESUS DID NOT DIE FOR YOU TO

8 ways to attain greatness.... 

JESUS DID NOT DIE FOR YOU TO
• LET SIN HOLD YOU DOWN

Sin serves as yoke that holds you down.
Eg.
You want to attain a particular position but someone gains access to info on your nasty past that disqualifies you. Why should there be something that can be used against you when trying to attain heights?

• REGULARLY THINK OF WAYS TO COVER YOUR TRACKS

Instead of thinking of new steps to take, you end up spending half of your time covering up mistakes. It's very limiting having that kind of everyday life, optimum capabilities can't be explored that way

• SEE LIFE AS HARD AND CRUEL

There are a thousand ways around situations and problems. Life isn't hard, life isn't cruel all it needs is tapping wisdom at every point on how to go about things

• SEE LIFE AS MEANINGLESS 
There's so so much meaning in life, so much to do, so much to explore, live it to the fullest

• LIVE WITHOUT PURPOSE
Don't go about without direction, all you'll end up with is wasted years 

• LET A PERSON RULE YOU AND HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE

Never let a HUMAN BEING rule you, not even your parents, they didn't give you life, they simply serve as a means to bring wonderful you into the world. They can guide you, protect you, help and aid you but at the end they would be gone someday.

• BE DISREGARDED AND DEVALUED
Never ever let whoever says whatever to put you down succeed. Your value is still very much what you God put in there, so whatever you call it is what I is and is never to be determined by anyone else

•  BE UNHAPPY WITHOUT SOMEONE
No, This is a no no. No one should rule your happiness. Someone making you happy is simply a bonus, you can still be happy without the person.

Say What? Suicide Bombers Attack Near Maiduguri Hospital Moments After VP Osinbajo Arrives in City

Two suicide bombers are said to have launched an attack on Wednesday near a hospital in Maiduguri, Borno State shortly after Vice President, Yemi Osinbajoarrived in the city to visit some IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps.

According to Mail Online, the blast killed the bombers and injured two people.

The report further states:

The hospital is one of the few public buildings in an area called Molai, which is on the outskirts of Maiduguri and where security is not always as tight as in the centre of the state capital of Borno.

Osinbajo was visiting a camp about 10 km (6 miles) away that houses some of the 1.5 million people displaced by Boko Haram during the militant group’s six-year fight to establish an Islamic caliphate in the northeast.

Kim Kardashian Bares A Lot for Rolling Stone Magazine | Talks Living with O.J Simpson, Sex Tape Leak, Rob & More

Here’s the latest on your daily dose of Kim Kardashian West!

On the cover of Rolling Stonemagazine in a revealing sailors outfit, Kim strikes a rare smile as she reveals even more about her life. In the interview, the KUWTK reality TV star who believes you can have it all and thinks she is much smarter than people give her credit for, goes deep talking about her AWOL brother Rob Kardashian, meeting Caitlyn Jenner 12 years ago, living with O.J Simpson and more. Some juicy stuff.

Read excerpts from her interview with Rolling Stone Contributing Editor, Vanessa Grigoriadis;

On walking in on Bruce Jenner dressing as a woman at the age of 22
“I was shaking. I didn’t know if I’d just found out his deepest, darkest secret, and he was going to come after me.” Jenner called her on the phone a half hour later, and said, “One day, I’ll talk to you about this. Until then, don’t tell a soul.” Eight years later, he said, “Let’s have that talk.“

Before Kim’s wedding to West, Kardashian talked to Kanye about it. “I wasn’t sure if Bruce was going to be comfortable walking me down the aisle,” she says. “He had just had his trachea shaved, so I knew something was going on.” She was afraid of what West might think, but West calmed her concerns. “[Kanye] obviously moves to his own drum,” she says. “He lives his life the way he wants, a really authentic life, and he was like, ‘If you can’t be authentic and you can’t live your life, what do you have?’ ”

On O.J Simpson living in Khloé’s room for a while during his trial
“It was surreal, with Johnnie Cochran and Robert Shapiro and all these guys having meetings at my dad’s house,” Kim says. Kris was close with Nicole Brown Simpson and believed that O.J. was guilty, creating a massive amount of tension in the family. “I definitely took my dad’s side,” Kim says. “We just always thought my dad was the smartest person in the world, and he really believed in his friend.” As far as what she believes now, she says, “It’s weird. I just try not to think about it.“

Kim eventually found out who leaked her sex tape. She said…
“We’re in major confidentiality, so I can’t talk about it,” Kardashian says of the culprit. Does she still think about the fact that a great deal of humanity has seen her in flagrante? “I don’t really think about it,” she says quietly. “I thought about it for a long time. But when I get over something, I get over it.“

On why Rob Kardashian left the spotlight
“It’s not that mysterious, what’s happening with Rob,” Kardashian says. “He has gained weight. He feels uncomfortable being on the show, and that’s OK. Do I think he smokes weed, drinks beer, hangs out and plays video games with his friends all day long? Yes.“

Her interview goes into more detail. Read the rest on Rolling Stone Magazine.
