The word “N—” was typed on receipts to describe six black friends who came to Shatila Lebanese Grill and Hookah for New Year’s celebrations.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo's widow endorses Osinbajo - APC

Lol. Looks like some GEJ supporters are jumping ship.

'“I am very grateful this morning to see that Yemi Osinbajo is going to higher ground and it is my prayer that he will get there. I urge you all to support his aspiration. God will take you there,” she reportedly said.

The call came when Prof. Osinbajo paid a visit to the matriarch at her Ikenne home. Mrs. Awolowo expressed gratitude to God over the choice of Osinbajo as the running mate of Buhari and sought the support of the people of Ikenne in particular and Nigerians in general to make the dream come true.

From The National Enquirer

"Kim Kardashian has ordered Kanye West into sex therapy because he’s lost his libido! Kim is so offended that Kanye’s not as hot for her as he used to be. He’s so focused on his work that he’s barely spending any time with her,” said a family source. “And when they are together all he wants to do is sleep or play with North. “Rejected Kim, whose stress about her troubled marriage has prompted a serious psoriasis flare-up, signed them up for therapy classes to get the spark back into their relationship.”

GEJ can't fight corruption even if he's given 60 years to rule" - APC

The opposition party APC has responded to president Jonathan's plan to institute anti-corruption programmes is re-elected next month, saying that even if he's given 60 more years, he can't fight corruption, because 'a corrupt government can never fight corruption.'

The APC said this in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

"Mr. President said he wants to put in place the institutions to tackle corruption before taking on the cankerworm that has almost destroyed the fabric of our society. Pray, whatever happened to the EFCC and the ICPC? Were they not institutions specifically created for the purpose of tackling corruption, but which the Jonathan administration chose to castrate? There is no better way to say this: Pres. Jonathan lacks the political will to tackle corruption, and he will not tackle it if he spends 60 years in office.”

Our resolutions for Naija celebs in 2015 - by Etcetera

Every January, resolutions are made with conviction, only to be dropped like a hot akara sometime before February as unattainable, or just plain boring. All through last year, we watched our celebrities and critiqued their behaviour. Maybe we shouldn’t have. Maybe we should let them make their own mistakes. Or maybe we should assess celebrity behaviour in 2014 and determine which celebrities could use some suggestions for their New Year’s Resolutions to make 2015 a great year. And that’s just what we’ve done. So Don Jazzy, Cossy, Omosexy and others, listen up.
