Nigeria declares State of Emergency in northern regions


The President declared state of emergency in the troubled areas in the four states, Borno, Yobe, Niger and plateau states in his Saturday afternoon,nationwide broadcast.
Below is the text of Jonathan’s address
ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, GCFR, ON THE OCCASION OF THE DECLARATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE FEDERATION IN ORDER TO RESTORE PULIC ORDER, PEACE AND SECURITY IN THE FEDERATION, December 31, 2011
Fellow Nigerians, it has become necessary to address you on recent events in some parts of the country that have threatened our collective security and shaken the foundations of our corporate existence as a nation.
2.    You are all aware of the security challenges which the activities of the Boko Haram sect have foisted on the country. What began as sectarian crises in the North Eastern parts of the country has gradually evolved into terrorist activities in different parts of the country with attendant negative consequences on our national security.
3.      Government in an effort to find a lasting solution to the security threats occasioned by the activities of the Boko Haram sect, constituted a Presidential Committee under the Chairmanship of Ambassador Usman Gaji Galtimari, to ascertain the immediate and remote causes of the crises. While efforts are being made to implement the recommendations of the Committee, the crises have assumed a terrorist dimension with vital institutions of government including the United Nations Building and places of worship becoming targets of terrorist attacks.


4.   While the search for lasting solutions is ongoing, it has become imperative to take some decisive measures necessary to restore normalcy in the country especially within the affected communities. Consequently, I have in the exercise of the powers conferred on me by the provisions of section 305(1) of the Constitution, declared a state of emergency in the following parts of the federation, namely:

(i)  Borno State
a)  Maidugiri Metropolitan LGA
b)  Gamboru Ngala LGA
c)   Banki Bama LGA
d)  Biu LGA
e)   Jere LGA
(ii)  Yobe State
a)  Damaturu LGA
b)  Geidam LGA
c)   Potiskum LGA
d)  Buniyadi-Gujba LGA
e)   Gasua-Bade LGA
(iii) Plateau State
a)  Jos North LGA
b)  Jos South LGA
c)   Barkin-Ladi LGA
d)  Riyom LGA
(iv) Niger State
a)  Suleja LGA
The details of this proclamation will be transmitted to the National Assembly as soon as they reconvene from their current recess, for their necessary action.
5.    The Chief of Defence Staff and the Inspector-General of Police have been directed to put appropriate measures in place to ensure the protection of lives and properties of residents in the affected parts of the country. I therefore urge the political leadership in the affected states and Local Government Areas to give maximum cooperation to the law enforcement agencies deployed to their respective communities to ensure that the situation is brought under control within the shortest possible time.
6.   The Chief of Defence Staff, in collaboration with other Service Chiefs, has also been directed to set up a special force unit within the Armed Forces, with dedicated counter terrorism responsibilities.
7.   As part of the overall strategy to overcome the current security challenges, I have directed the closure of the land borders contiguous to the affected Local Government Areas so as to control incidences of cross boarder terrorist activities as terrorists have taken advantage of the present situation to strike at targets in Nigeria and retreat beyond the reach of our law enforcement personnel.
8.  Let me assure our neighbours, especially within the ECOWAS sub-region, of Nigeria’s commitment to its international obligations as provided by the ECOWAS Protocol on Free Movement of Persons. The temporary closure of our borders in the affected areas is only an interim measure designed to address the current security challenges and will be reviewed as soon as normalcy is restored.
9.   I commend the efforts of our political leaders at various levels as well as our traditional and religious leaders for their support for the various conflict resolution mechanisms and peace building measures that have been initiated by this administration. We call on the citizenry to continue to provide useful information to our law enforcement agencies to enable us arrest the situation.
10. Terrorism is a war against all of us. I call on all Nigerians to join hands with government to fight these terrorists.
11. I wish all Nigerians a very happy New Year.
12.   Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage.

''Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," The 36-year-old comedian Brand said in a statement to TMZ. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

The pair sparked rumours of trouble after celebrating Christmas 7,000 miles apart - he spent the festive day in Cornwall while the Teenage Dream singer, 27, was with friends in Hawaii.

Perry, who is yet to comment on the split, was not wearing her wedding ring either when she was photographed frolicking in the surf on December 25.

Uti Uwachukwu Gathers Celebs, Desmond Elliot, Tonto Dikeh, Chika Ike, Moyo Lawal, Alex Ekubo and others For Charity

The latest trend by Nigerian celebrities in waking up to the responsibility of giving back to the society they milked from was continued on December 21 by Uti when he gathered his friends and fans together for a charity event.
The Big Brother Africa All Star winner, Uti Nwachukwu, gathered other celebrity friends of his together at Ojez, National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos for sharing of gifts to some selected needy in the society.
Those showed love to at the event were mainly widows and physically challenged children drawn from different parts of Lagos state.
Other celebrities at the event with Uti were Tonto Dikeh, Susan Peters, Desmond Elliot, Chika Ike, Dipp, Alex Ekubo, Goldie, Bryan Okwara (former Mr Nigeria), Michael Nwachukwu (former Gulder Ultimate Search winner), Christopher Okechukwu (present GUS winner), among many others.
Items shared at the event included bags of rice, which the daughter of Delta State Governor, Orode Uduaghan gave 50 bags, cloths and other items needed by the widows and the physically challenged children.
Making his mind known, Uti, a former contestant of The Next Movie Star said, “for me, I have had a very good and successful year, it has been rewarding for me both financially and career-wise.
“So, I thought instead of spending [the money] on partying and getting drunk with friends, why not spend the money on those the society has forgotten, like the widows and [the] physically challenged children who are in need, and what better time to do that other than the season of love, a time of sharing,” the Delta State born Model and TV host concluded.








Aerosmith Frontman Steven Tyler Engaged to Gal-Pal Erin Brady!




Aerosmith frontman and rock and roll legend Steven Tyler has reportedly popped the question to his girlfriend, Erin Brady. The 63-year-old rocker was spotted with Brady, 38, over the holiday weekend in Maui, reports TMZ. Brady, who has been dating Tyler since 2006, was sporting a massive rock on her ring finger, sparking the rumors.

And while the two lovebirds seemed plenty happy, Tyler's family is reportedly none too pleased about the engagement. "She's just not nice," an insider tells TMZ. "She's just mean to the family," the source added.

Other sources said that Tyler neglected to tell his family members he was planning to propose -- until AFTER he popped the question. (See, you're not the only one with wedding family drama.)

KANYE A DJ? SPINS IN LONDON AS DJ YEEZY WORLD PEACE



It looks like the people who DJ for a living need to watch out because major artists like Alicia Keys, Solange Knowles and Erykah Badu are coming for their places, and now another superstar is trying his hand at the art.



Lately, Kanye has been giving select audiences an idea of what he’s like as a DJ, spinning for small audiences in London. He recently showed off his skills at Le Baron Nightclub’s Holiday party and spun a new jam called ‘King Of Hearts’ by none other than Cassie. Even though we only get to hear 30 seconds, the tune sounds like a hot club banger with some electronic vocals and synths. Cassie premiered the trailer for the song last month during a visit to 106 and Park but the full version has yet to hit the internet.

According to Yeezy’s twitter, this won’t be the last time you see him spinning either. The other night he tweeted that he’s looking for a place to spin on New Years Eve, but he has one condition for whomever books him:
“My New Years DJ Name is gone be DJ YEEZYWORLD PEACE! If you book me, you have to put YEEZY WORLD PEACE on the e-vite. Or I ain’t spinning.”
Keep in mind, he has reportedly turned down plenty of Vegas offers for New Year’s Gigs because he has yet to be offered his asking price of 1 million. If Kim K can snag $600,000 for New Years, clearly Kanye can ask for a mil.

Watch Kanye spin Cassie’s record below:

That Chris and Rihanna Love Is Still Strong…




Now it all adds up!....... Why Rihanna used a Chris Brown look alike in her "We found love" video. I think the duo have finally decided to put the past behind them. According to "MediaTakeOut", they got an insider at both ends who have given them hints on what's going on between the two. One insider, who happens to be close to Chris, said, Chris feels that Rihanna is the LOVE OF HIS LIFE and he wants nothing more than to get back with her. But since the "incident" Chris felt that he destroyed all chances of a relationship with his SOUL MATE. And he stayed away from her, at her request.

At Riri's end, the insider said the two have been communicating via Phone calls, I.m's and text messages.

Both of them are even to meet up next week when Rihanna gets back from Los Angeles to see how and whether they should get back together.


Just in case all I've written so far hasn't convinced you, get a load of these tweets.

LAMIDE LAATONAAH R.A.N.T.S: FRIENDS? OR BENEFITS!





This is from a personal experience and it goes like this:

I got into the university at the age of 18 to study petroleum engineering, and I was very excited.

I met this boy, (let's call him Tyler) at the beginning of the semester about my age. We got talking and I liked him and he told me he felt the same way about me. I was carried away by the attention I got from him. We started making out and we were sharing a lot of things in common. People knew bout what we were doing but the funny thing was that we were not going out. We were more or less Friends with benefits.

I was still very blinded by his care and everything, that I didn’t even take my time to think about the fact that he might actually be lying to me to get what he wanted.

As time went on, he started telling people that I was the one who liked him, that he did not like me and that I was blocking all his chances of having a girlfriend. He started trying to ask all my close friends out but unfortunately for him none of them agreed.

He started accusing me of doing stuffs with his closest friends which I never did but apparently that was just part of his plan to get rid of me. All of this went on for a very long time.

At the beginning of second semester, I made a decision to end it all but he did not want to. He started all these stories about him liking me and dat he did not want it to end it yet. I still ended it.

But can you believe that in the midst of all this, Tyler had a girlfriend I did not know about. Luckily for him the girl did not want a public thing so I did not find out.

My friends then advised me to get a boyfriend. They thought that was what I needed, so I decided to give it a try. So now I have a boyfriend that cares about me and loves me for who I am.

My boyfriend just told me about Tyler's girlfriend like some few weeks back because he and the girl happen to be very close.

And guess what! Tyler still comes to my room like everyday and when he finds out that I’m the only one in the room, he tries to kiss me. I’ve told my boyfriend about all his passes. But right now I’m so confused. I don't know what to do. I’m tired of Tyler disturbing me, and I feel so sorry for his girlfriend because she is such a nice person. But he is so not faithful, he is even banging some girl on my corridor.

People what do you think I should do????

Bradley Cooper Is "Totally Dating" Zoe Saldana!



The reigning Sexiest Man Alive and Zoe Saldana are dating and they're extremely happy about it. And we hear that the pair are just now starting to tell family and friends that they're an item.




A source told E! News: 'They are totally dating.'
The claims come just months after the pair first sparked rumours they had taken their friendship to the next level following a picture of the couple together at a New York nightclub.
At the time, a representative for Avatar actress Saldana denied the claims.
The rumoured relationship comes just a month after Saldana and fiancé Keith Britton announced they had amicably split after 11 years together.
The pair had revealed their engagement in June 2010 when Saldana said she felt entrepreneur Britton was the only person who knew 'the real Zoe.'
She had previously said of Britton: 'I feel like the partners that stay at home, they have their lives, but they’re the ones that are living with the real you.
'I think that they need to be recognised, every now and then, every 10 years, just come out in public - put him on the spot and just say thank you.

NICKI MINAJ AND BOYFRIEND BUY MATCHING BENTLEYS









Nicki Minaj and her boyfriend/ hypeman Safaree ‘Scaff Beezy’ Samuels are now proud owners of matching his and her Bentley Continental GT’s in pink and red. A proud Scaff Beezy tweeted photos of his new Matte Red car earlier this month with the caption:
‘S/O to my New Bent…Matte Red Only 1 In USA! Continental GT…”Even tho I hate it dey force me to 2get da new bent’.
$200-250g is a hefty amount of change to spend on a whip. And although it could be assumed that Nicki laced her boo with the ride since she could be considered the breadwinner in the relationship, Safari makes it clear that he has his own dough.  He wrote on his facebook:
I got ova 600k in insured jewels. …I think I can afford to buy a Bentley ;)   I shoulda boughtCivic…. LOL all good
