Lauryn Hill sued for not paying rent



Lauryn Hill is allegedly being sued for eviction by the landlord of her rented New Jersey mansion.
TMZ reports that the troubled R&B star 'stopped making payments' on her mansion in the South Orange area of the state last month. 
The landlord is reported to have taken the case to court to demand that the five-times Grammy-award winner pays her bill or else be thrown off the property. 
Hill, who has six children, is said to have been renting the plush pad - situated in her hometown - since 2009. 
The troubled 37-year-old singer for the Fugees previously pleaded guilty for failing to file tax returns from 2005 to 2007, a period when she earned $1.8m.
Hill recently filed court documents seeking leniency in her upcoming sentencing for tax evasion.

IS GUARANTY TRUST BANK NIGERIA LOOSING IT?


I remember my Father used to send me to the bank, to help get him money as a young boy in Jss one. In those days, only three banks really stood out. They were first bank, Union bank and may be UBA bank. Later on, some bank rose up to compete favorably and seriously. One of such bank was Standard Trust Bank. They came up with a system that was so flexible that you will wonder if that system of banking was possible. Their customer service was pure, blemish, outstanding and easily noticed. But all those got swallowed up when they merged with and became UBA. I closed my account without looking back and even today, if you give me a UBA cheque I will thank you but in my mind am not thanking you. They have a lot to improve on. And I mean a lot.

After the merger which took place as a result of the bank capitalization, Guaranty Trust bank came in handy. Of course, as one of the banks which did not go under, many came to trust the bank deeply. As a result, many trooped to the bank and am sure that the exodus became much more than they can handle. I may not be right, but the crowd that

Did Selena Gomez pose nude for playboy magazine?


Despite several rumors and pictures that have been circulating around the net, Selena has shut down Playboy's offers and is not the girl whose body is shown on the topless cover. A photo of Selena supposedly on the magazine's cover has been determined a fake and totally Photoshopped. The pic (of a young woman in her undies with her chest exposed) is pretty raunchy and so not like Selena.

Forbes: How Social Media Can Help (Or Hurt) You In Your Job Search



Social media is a key player in the job search process today.
Sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ allow employers to get a glimpse of who you are outside the confines of a résumé, cover letter, or interview—while they offer job seekers the opportunity to learn about companies they’re interested in; connect with current and former employees; and hear about job openings instantaneously, among other things.
That’s probably why half of all job seekers are active on social networking sites on a daily basis, and more than a third of all employers utilize these sites in their hiring process.
Career transition and talent development consulting firm Lee Hecht Harrisonasked hundreds of job seekers via an online poll, “How active are you on social networking sites?” Forty-eight percent said they’re very active on a

Real Madrid beat Manchester United Again

This time off the football field-Soccer's Most Valuable Teams: At $3.3 Billion, Real Madrid Knocks Manchester United From Top Spot

For the world’s most valuable soccer teams, success means turning victories on the pitch into dollars at the bank.
No team has done this as well as Real Madrid, which has usurped Manchester United’s long-held title as the most valuable soccer team in the world. This year marks the first time since Forbes began tracking the value of soccer teams in 2004 that Manchester United has not ranked first. It is not that the Red Devils have faltered. It is just that Los Merengues are simply bigger, more profitable and growing faster than Manchester United.
Real Madrid, which posted revenue of $650 million during the 2011-12 season, is worth $3.3 billion, more than any team in the world. Los Merengues generated operating income (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and player trading) of $134 million, more than any

Online Reaction on Chalse B's departure from Inspiration FM


Charlse B the lager than life radio presenter who for many has become like an on air pastor or even Bishop has left inspiration fm. While this came as a surprise to many, some others wouldn't want to consider it a huge surprise. Truthfully, its been a long time coming. If one studies Charlse B and his presentation style, one will understand that contrary to the conservative pattern of inspiration fm, Charles B emits boldness and carries with it a strong departure from the normally glorified views. We have argued that as a human being, you are either for change or remain one who supports the status quo even when that status quo is saying, go to hell. Inspiration fm and Charles B just dint marry well. May be it was a marriage that was not made in heaven and when the center could no longer hold...things fell apart. Its sad that a being like that was allowed to leave but hey, change is constant.  Below are some online reactions to his departure from inspiration fm

Top newspaper report-Unborn babies for sale !


Abia is in the news again. The sale of babies seemed to be lucrative enough to attract more buyers and sellers from Anambra, Imo and Rivers to the state. To say the least, the development is bizarre and puzzling, according to feelers from the police command during a news briefing yesterday. The force held a similar media parley two weeks ago.
The security agency yesterday reeled out yet another startling revelations. In recent incidents, a nine-month-old pregnant woman and mother of two, who was tricked out of her matrimonial home in Imo State to Aba, by her friend who had already made arrangements for buyers of her baby, told the police that she did not know why and how she accompanied her friend to Abia State’s commercial hub.

Newspaper report on health-Hope for kidney patients.



THERE is a fresh ray of hope for kidney patients, with the news that a synthetic kidney made from a patient’s own skin cells might soon be ready for the first human transplant. A similar artificial organ has been created in laboratory animals, scientists said yesterday in a report by The Independent of London.
Researchers created the synthetic kidney using a similar bioengineering process to the one that led to the manufacture of artificial human windpipes, the first of which was transplanted into a Spanish woman with a collapsed trachea in 2008.
The bioengineered rat kidney was made from the scaffold tissue of a dead rat’s kidney that had its own cells removed by flushing it with an enzymatic detergent. Skin and blood cells were then infused into the scaffold to create a working organ, scientists said.

Top newspaper report-Bayelsa battles rumour mongers .


The government of oil rich Nigerian state of Bayelsa decided something needed to be done, to stamp out the spreading of rumours. So billboards have been erected around town and a committee has been named.
The campaign against rumour mongering is now underway in the home state of Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.
“What rumours are they scared of?” said Simon Goladi, a 34-year-old sociology student walking near one of the anti-rumour billboards in the state capital Yenagoa. “It’s just a waste of resources.”
While it may seem odd that the state, located in the country’s oil-producing Niger Delta region and with an impoverished population, has decided to spend energy and resources on stopping rumours, there is precedent.
The previous Bayelsa governor had a special assistant on propaganda and rumour management, his spokesman Doifie Ola said. Current Governor Henry Seriake Dickson has opted for a 13-member committee, called the Public Information Management Committee.
“That points to the fact that

Top newspaper report- PDP chieftains offered me N3bn to impeach Okorocha –Speaker


Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu, yesterday made a startling revelation of how the elder brother of the impeached Imo State deputy governor, Chief Martin Agbaso and some chieftains of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, offered him a whopping N3 billion to impeach the state governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.
Speaking during an interview with selected journalists in Owerri, the Imo State capital, Uwajumogu alleged that Chief Agbaso, a business mogul, Sir Emeka Offor, the PDP National Vice-Chairman, South East, Col. Augustine Akobundu and other high ranking PDP members promised to give him the money if he would facilitate the impeachment of Okorocha to pave way for his deputy, Jude Agbaso, to become the governor.
His words: “Sometime in August, 2012, Chief Martin Agbaso, elder brother to the former deputy governor, invited me for a meeting to help stop the PDP hierarchy from removing me from office.

Top newspaper report-2015: Senate plans public debate for presidential candidates.


If the Senate had its way, the era of staggered elections, already provided for in the Electoral Act 2010 would be history during 2015 general polls. As part of preparations for the exercise, Senate is tinkering with the overhaul of the Electoral Act which would ensure that all elections are held same day nation-wide.
Besides, Senate’s proposed amendment of the Electoral Act 2010 would compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accredit voters in the 2015 elections by electronic means. The amendment also wants the INEC to be the sole organizer of a public debate for presidential candidates.
The debate, would be compulsory for

Top newspaper report-Jonathan: Count me out of 2015 for now !


President Goodluck Jonathan insisted yesterday he has yet to decide whether to seek a fresh presidential term in 2015, in reaction to recent reports of subterranean campaign launched by Presidency’s foot soldiers.
The issue of whether the President will run has become a politically explosive subject because of the reported pledge he made in the run up to the 2011 election that he was standing for one term only.
Recent reports said Jonathan’s men have been working behind the scene to set up campaign structures, implying that the President has already made up his mind to run.
In a statement in Abuja yesterday, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati said Jonathan would like to be left alone in the 2015 calculus as he was focused on matters of state.

Top newspaper report-Council boss kidnappers demand $1m

Akiyesi and his disrupted wedding: the fundamental error made by the church.


I will not put my hand to my key board here to judge any man or woman. I will not even attempt to judge the Overcomers church Aguda, since none of us know beyond what was published. But, I will be quick to warn that care be taken so that apology is not oiled and glorified with pride.

I think the lesson in this is huge. The house of God must bubble with great examples. For how can we teach the world, if we ourselves don't know the truth. God is very protective of the marriage institution. Why? Because the family is a representation of God Himself. How you may want to ask? Because God created the family to look like Himself. There is one creator called God. Under the name God, we have the Father,The Son and The Holy Spirit. The place of the Father is clear in creation. The place of the Son Jesus is clear in redemption. The place of the Holy Spirit, who is called many names like children in the family is clear in Sanctification. He is called the paraclate, comforter,helper,etc. That is how the family is represented. The Father in the family is like 'God the father'. The Mother (the bride) is like Jesus the bridegroom, God the Son. The children are like 'God The Holy Spirit' because though they are many, they come under the name children. So God has three arms. The family also has three arms. If my name is James Audu, my wife is Cecilia Audu, my children are james, john etc they all will also be called Audu. Three units under one name. Therefore, the family is a representation of who God is on earth. This should tell you why a society that glorify divorce only evil. That society, with all her wealth may

Top newspaper report-Dangote To Build $8bn Oil Refinery !


Another chapter will this year be opened in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry, when business mogul Alhaji Aliko Dangote kicks off his plan to establish a refinery in the country.
The federal government had, in 2011, granted approval to 19 multinationals for the setting up of private refineries in the country, but none of them has come on stream due to the regulation of the price of fuel in the country.
Though details of where the refinery will be sited and its capacity were yet to be made known, work on the refinery, which will cost $8 billion, will begin this year.
At a breakfast meeting with some senior editors to mark his 57th birthday in Lagos, Alhaji Dangote said work will start on the refinery once his company secured the final approval from the federal government.
While acknowledging the fact that
