The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan has been on the campaign trail for her husband’s re-election for some months now, making speeches in packed Stadiums and appearances at special campaign functions. However, she stunned the entire political landscape yesterday when she was heard saying “Am Better 1st Lady than Obama wife now. Did she campaign for her husband like this when his own eleshun time come?” On further prodding, she further revealed “Yes now. Am better Furs Lady than Michelle Obama. And By The Grace of God I will become Furs Lady again when everybody vote for Umbrella in the eleshun. Don’t answer anybody that is talking change. They are lying”. Source

Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi,has reacted to the sudden defection of Tele Ikuru from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying he has the right to pursue his political ambition. In a statement signed by his commissioner of information and communications, Ibim Semenitari,, Amaechi described Ikuru’s reasons for defecting as “shocking”, observing that his deputy had been accorded all the dues of his office. “The Rivers State Governor Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has only this evening received the news of the resignation of his Deputy Governor Engr Tele Ikuru from the All Progressives Congress,” the statement read. “Whilst the news remains unofficial at this time as the Deputy Governor is yet to notify His Excellency the Governor of this move, Governor Amaechi however wishes Engr Ikuru all the best in his future political endeavours. “He however wishes to note that the reasons adduced by Engr Ikuru are shoc

Earlier today, President Goodluck Jonathan participated in the presidential debate organised by the Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG). The two most popular presidential candidates in the forthcoming elections (Gen. Buhari and President Jonathan ) failed to have a face off at the debates for the second campaign in a row. However, President Jonathan, who was obviously proud of himself at the NEDG debate, took to his Facebook page to say: “I am convinced that any one who desires to lead Nigerians must first be prepared to address issues raised by Nigerians. I also believe we must encourage a culture of debate and conversation to grow our democracy. GEJ.” See his Facebook post below: Post by Goodluck Jonathan .

The Nigeria Election Debate Group, NEDG, has organised presidential and vice presidential debates since 1999, but fresh claims have emerged questioning the independence and partisan nature of the group. The debates, the final lap of the series of debates organised by the NEDG, is holding on March 22, according to the organisers. But there have been allegations that the group is actually a one-man show run by Raymond Dokpesi, the Chairman of DAAR Communications Limited (owners of Africa Independent Television, AIT), who uses it as a bargaining tool for private gains and political advantage. When it was incorporated in 2011, the NEDG listed six organisations as shareholders, each with a representative. They include Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria, BON, represented by Abubakar Aji; DAAR Communications, represented by Tony Akiotu; Nigeria Union of Journalists, represented by Mohammed Garba; Alliance for Credible Election represented by Emma Ezeazu; Nigeria Guild

On Saturday, March 21, President Goodluck Jonathan and his campaign team flew out of Abuja in two aircrafts for another round of vote solicitation in Kano and neighbouring Katsina ahead of the March 28 national elections. Four hours before the President left his home at the Presidential villa that Saturday, over 200 police officers and about a hundred soldiers were withdrawn from their beats around the nation’s capital and made to line the about 40 kilometres route to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, some standing with their rifles on their shoulders, some sitting on pavements, stones and bare ground and others snoring away in patrol cars. The police wouldn’t say how many officers are deployed daily to patrol and secure Abuja, but residents believe the nation’s capital is under-policed, with some saying they have never seen a police officer patrol their areas. Yet, that Saturday, hundreds of officers, who could have patrolled streets to check crimes were m

There appears to be a crack in the ranks of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State as the state’s Deputy Governor, Mr. Tele Ikuru, on Sunday, announced his defection from the party to the Peoples Democratic Party. Ikuru, who has worked with the State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, for about eight years, may be received by President Goodluck Jonathan at a PDP stakeholders’ meeting in Port Harcourt on Monday. The news of Ikuru’s defection is coming barely six days to the presidential election. Ikuru had, in a statement in Port Harcourt on Sunday, described the APC as party of “rebels, insurgents and anarchists clothed in robes of pretence and deceit.” The deputy governor was said to have been in a battle of supremacy with the State APC Chairman, Dr. Davies Ikanya, who is from the same Andoni Local Government Area with him. Speculations of the deputy governor’s defection to the PDP became rife on Sunday when a Government House source confirmed his

The Independent National Electoral Commission in Zamfara, lost one card reader during the training of ad-hoc staff in Anka Local Government Area, an official has confirmed.

The Ogun State Police Command has discovered a den belonging to kidnappers in a neighborhood in Ijebu Igbo Area of the State. Five suspects including a serving councillor in the State have been arrested by the police in connection with the discovery. From a distance, the uncompleted building in 7, Egbe Road, Ijebu Igbo Area of Ogun East Senatorial District would pass for any other building where people live and earn their legitimate income. But with a closer look, it’s not. Latest discovery by the police reveals it is a den for kidnappers. Inside the building, in one of the dark rooms is a shrine with charms and other fetish items lavishly displayed. While some of the suspects confessed to their crime, others denied any link. Presently, five suspects are in police net including the serving councilor from Odogbolu Local Government Area of the State. The Police Commissioner in the State, Valentine Ntomchukwu, said the two building would remain

French-American photographer, Erica Simone has posed naked all over New York to create a book called Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen. Simone is currently crowd-funding to raise $10,000 to publish the book. She explains why she's doing the shoot;  "The point is not to be nude for shock value. I am simply an artist looking to humorously poke at some interesting thoughts about society and question who we are and embody as human beings inhabiting this home we call Earth. It’s now up to you to answer or raise these questions, as you like." See some photos she released below On her crowdfunding page she writes: "Naked is who we are and who we come into the world as. 'Nothing Fits Like You'‬ is a campaign about being comfortable with who you are as a person, with your body, your mind and your role in society. It's about being free from the confinements of societal expectations and the media's projections."

This photo is making the rounds on Twitter. The person who shared it claims a woman did that to her house help. The photo was taken at the hospital where the little girl went to get treatment. No further details was given...too sad!

In his famous BBC interview, where he expressed optimism that he would win this weekend’s presidential election, President Goodluck Jonathan also made an admission: he is not in charge of the military and he could not speak for them. President Jonathan surely forgot that he is the commander-in-chief of the Nigerian armed forces. His admission of powerlessness followed the interviewer’s barrage of questions on what the government used the yearly $5 billion security budget for, the whereabouts of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls and why it took so long for Nigeria, the ‘giant of Africa’, to embark on retaking territories lost to Boko Haram. President Jonathan did not have any convincing explanation, except to say: I am not in charge.
