How network problems prevented Obama from calling President Jonathan twice

Image
Both Presidents Barack Obama and Goodluck Jonathan wanted to talk on phone, but twice calls from the White House to Aso Rock failed to make the connection. Authoritative sources confirmed during the week that efforts by President Obama to personally speak with Jonathan to return his congratulatory message has been aborted at least twice by the failure of the telephone system in Aso Rock. After Obama’ s second-term election victory three weeks ago, President Jonathan was among the first world leaders to congratulate him, offering him a hand of fellowship. In response to the congratulatory messages, Obama on the Thursday of the same election week, started calling back some of the world leaders, who had congratulated him, to appreciate their letters and words of felicitation. At least, three White House press statements by Press Secretary, Jay Carney, since the week of the election, have listed names of leaders Obama has been able to speak to in return for their congratulat...

Chris Brown launches VILE attack over Rihanna on Twitter before deleting his account.

Image
Chris Brown  has deleted his  Twitter  account following a disgusting attack on a woman who hit out at the star over his violent past. He had been having a pretty good day, with  Rihanna  tweeting a snap of him in bed  - essentially confirming their romance. When the picture appeared to rile a number of people online, Chris simply wrote 'Just ask Rihanna if she mad??????' before cracking on with things. But when someone responded to another of his tweets in a negative manner, it's safe to say the singer lost it. Like, really lost it. When Chris wrote the message 'I look old as f***! I'm only 23...', writer Jenny Johnson replied: 'I know! Being a worthless piece of s*** can really age a person'. Rihanna Tweeted This Snap Yesterday Well, Chris didn't think that was very funny. He told her in response: 'Take them teeth out when u sucking my d*** HOE.' Hmm, vile  and  sexist. A solid start from Chris there. He continued...

(L) Chief Olusegun Obasanjo & President Goodluck Jonathan (R) Contrary to the rumour making the rounds that there’s a rift between former president, chief Olusegun Obasanjo and his supposed political godson, President Goodluck Jonathan, the national secretary of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, over the weekend, dismissed the hearsay. Oyinlola, made this known while addressing newsmen at Okuku, his hometown, during the formal launching of a foundation named after his father, Oba Moses Oyewole Oyinlola. He disclosed that it was deceptive to say that Obasanjo and Jonathan were having political differences, stressing that, “some individuals want to use the controversy surrounding the Odi killings to set the two leaders of the PDP against each other.” He noted that President Jonathan and Obasanjo remain strong members of the ruling party and are committed to the growth and development of Nigeria.

Image
Nemesis has finally caught up with a lover man, David Suleiman who allegedly disfigured the face and body of his ex-lover, Chika Egbo, with acid for refusing him access to his son. CNB gathered that the culprit who is currently cooling his feet at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, attacked his ex-girlfriend, a 300 level student at Enugu State College of Education, with acid for refusing him access to their only child. It was learnt that the tragic drama began for the estranged couple when Egbo became pregnant for Suleiman, but he abandoned her at such delicate condition, claiming he went abroad.

However, few months after a successful delivery, the run-away lover returned requesting to see the baby but he was refused access to the child. A reliable source, who wouldn’t want her name mentioned by the press, squealed that desperate Suleiman tr...

Image
Married Premier League star Kolo Toure had a lengthy affair with a young model – after tricking her into believing he was a car salesman. The Manchester City defender told pretty Kessel Kasuisyo his name was Francois and showered her with ­expensive gifts he claimed he bought with cash he made selling motors, she claims. And in a desperate bid to keep his real identity secret, she says, the £90,000-a -week star would sneak into her council flat wearing sunglasses with a baseball cap pulled over his face. Smitten Toure, 31, kept up the astonishing facade for two years. He married the mother of his two children during the alleged affair and even carried out a bizarre pretend proposal to ­Kessel, 22 – getting down one one knee to give her a £1,000 diamond ring. But the game was up for the Ivory Coast ­international – who portrays himself as a devoted family man – when one of his mistress’s pals recognised him. She told Kessel to Google her car salesman boyfriend’s real ...

Longest coma patient ever passes away after 42 years.

Image
The world’s longest coma patient, a Miami woman who had been called the ‘Sleeping Snow White’ during the 42 years she remained comatose, has died at the age of 59. Edwarda O’Bara was a cheery high school student in 1970 when she suddenly fell ill, threw up her medicine and slipped into a diabetic coma. But before she became comatose she turned to her mother and pleaded with her to ‘promise … you won’t leave me.’ Her mother stayed true to her word, enduring a grueling schedule to constantly stay near her daughter until the mother died five years ago and the woman’s sister became her primary care giver – until Edwarda passed away on Wednesday. As a popular 16-year-old, Edwarda had a bright future ahead of her but then she became ill with a severe bout of pneumonia. In the early hours of January 3 in 1970, she ‘woke up shaking and in great pain because the oral form of insulin she had been taking wasn’t reaching her blood stream,’ according to her family. She was rushed to...

But I will not stay here 20 years. In this moment, I am here and we are working well.” City’s next game is on Sunday against Chelsea, who have just replaced Roberto Di Matteo with Rafa Benitez. Mancini will be hoping to extend their unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge. “I don’t know the Chelsea owner Abramovich,” he said. “All I can say is I am happy to work with my owners and chairman.
