Donald Trump's Anti-Muslim plan disqualifies him from Presidency - White House

By     No comments:
The Republican front-runner on Monday released a statement calling for the U.S. to refuse entry of foreign Muslims. His proposal was met with widespread criticism, including from several candidates in his own party, and now White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says such a statement disqualifies him from serving as the President of the United States Of America.
"The fact is what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president," Josh Earnest said in Tuesday's press briefing. "For Republican candidates for president to stand by their pledge to support Mr. Trump, that in and of itself is disqualifying," Earnest said.
"The question now is about the rest of the Republican Party and whether or not they're going to be dragged into the dustbin of history with him. And right now the current trajectory is not very good. The Trump campaign for months now has had a dustbin of history-like quality to it," Earnest said.
Secretary of State John Kerry also rebuked Trump's comments.
"I would simply say that nondiscrimination and equal treatment are a pillar of not just American values but of our immigration and our admission policies in this country and the State Department remains totally committed to treating all religions with respect and without discrimination," Kerry said during a press briefing in Paris. He added, "As I travel around the world, it is clear to me and how both our friends and our adversaries watch and listen to the discourse in the U.S., and I believe that comments such as those that we just heard are not constructive - and I would say that is putting it diplomatically."

By     No comments:
The 33 year old forer Super Eagles and Fulham player has been cleared of all assault charges by a district court in Stockholm, Sweden. Etuhu and his friend were arrested on Nov. 1 after allegedly being involved in an altercation with security guards and police officers outside a night club in Stockholm.

The District Court dismissed in its entirety the charges brought up against Etuhu and his friend, stating that he was not involved in any act of violence against the officials and was only being protective and defensive in nature.

 Etuhu, who was delighted with the verdict, briefly told SportExpressen.se;
“This is great news.” AIK Sporting Director, Björn Wesström added: “It is clear that it is good that he will be acquitted. Since there is reason to discuss the situation in view of the events that led to this, we’ll have a meeting.”

Nobody sponsoring Boko Haram or stealing money will go unpunished- Lai Mohammed

By     No comments:


The Minister of Information and Tourism, Lai Mohammed at a press conference in Abuja yesterday, said that no person sponsoring Boko Haram or stealing public funds will go unpunished.
"The dilemma of government is how to redress the past wrong. What I want to assure you is that nobody, who is responsible for this situation either by sponsoring Boko Haram or stealing our resources, will go unpunished. That I can assure you. But we will follow due process.”he said
Lai Mohammed addressed claims in some quarters that the Nigerian government was careless in the prosecution of the terrorist unlike the Republic of Chad where any arrested terrorist is summarily tried, condemned and killed.
“Our legal regime is different. I can assure you that it is not in the interest of the military to protect Boko Haram because they are the first victims of the activities of the insurgents.”he said
Lai Mohammed debunked claims that anyone in the present government was sponsoring or supporting Boko Haram terrorists in any way. According to him,
“nobody in this government will hide a Boko Haranm suspect.”
On the missing Chibok girls, he said the military was working towards the girls regaining their freedom.
“The military is leaving no stone unturned up till now. Right now, the military is undertaking major onslaughts,” he said.

WCW-ashionye-1

Pretty Nollywood actress, Ashionye Raccah has spoken about s*xual exploitation in the entertainment industry.
In a recent interview with vanguard, the Nigerian actress and singer who shot to fame when she starred on M-Net series ‘Doctors Quarters’ and ‘Tinsel’ shared some good advice with upcoming female artiste.
Ashionye, believes the female artiste are performing well, their confidence level is up and they put professionalism into their crafts and is nothing compared to the case years before now.
In her words: –
“The situation is far better than what it used to be in the past. At least, we are getting a bit of what we deserve. And this is not because any man created space for us; rather, the female folks have taken their destinies into their hands by becoming producers, directors, and owning record labels.” Says Ashionye
 ‘They should know it takes a combination of hard work, brains and beauty to make it. Sleeping around will take them no where.’ She further said
Ashionye is also behind the Girl Power movement, an organization for emancipation for young girls.

Boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury stripped off IBF title just two weeks after winning it

By     No comments:
Tyson Fury has been stripped off the IBF title he won two weeks ago after former title holder Wladimir Klitschko exercised a clause entitling him right to a rematch if he so deemed fit.

Fury beat long-standing champion Vladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf last month to bring the Ukrainian's four belts back to Britain. The IBF insists Fury should fight challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov and opened up a bidding process for its purse two days after Fury's victory.

The bidding which was supposed to take place on December 11 has now become irrelevant after Klitschko exercised a clause which stated he could have a rematch for the IBF title if he wanted.

This implies the heavyweight category which has been dominated by Klitschko for nine years will now be divided as Fury will hold the WBO, WBA and IBO titles while American Deontay Wilder is the WBC champion leaving the IBF title vacant.

Speaking to ESPN, Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy said:

'If the IBF are going to make a belated moral judgment and strip Tyson Fury because, apparently, [Klitschko promotional company] K2 never told them about the rematch clause, surely they should be just as moral and not take the large sanction fees they are taking. 'In my opinion, the IBF should be ashamed of themselves. First, they called for private negotiations. Cancelled. Then they called for purse bids. Cancelled. Then they strip Tyson of his title for something he had no control over. 'Tyson as a fighter, Peter [Fury, his uncle] as a trainer and us as a promotional outfit, we did things properly. We went after the elite lineal heavyweight champion in Wladimir Klitschko. We took the hardest route of all and pulled it off big-time.'

Waje-Cover

Nigerian singer, Waje has once again confirmed that she has an open mind and might even try some plastic surgeries, if she can afford it
In a recent interview with Punch, the Nigerian soul singer was asked about her take on skin bleaching.
Waje, wasted no time to explain how much she loves her skin tone and even went deeper that she is totally into body enhancement.
“I love my skin tone. Growing up, my mum enjoyed teasing me by saying I have ‘b*tter on my skin’ and I enjoyed it. I think I have a great skin so all I do now is ensure that I use a proper sunscreen cream to maintain my skin tone.
I don’t have anything against body enhancement surgeries. If I can afford it, I may alter some parts of my body.”
We shouldn’t be surprise after all, Waje once revealed the truth during a interview with MTV Base Real Talk she had a chest reduction desire.
