Anybody can be famous, but only few can be great! Ice Prince you're on track.

Hmmm double wahala for dead body! Gej exporting his packaged cluelessness even abroad. #change2015

After publishing a piece written by President Goodluck Jonathan last month, The Washington Post’s Karen Attiah has penned down what, in her opinion, the Nigerian president should have written.
In a reaction to claims by Nigerians, and many key-players in the international community, that his administration is doing next to nothing to rescue the over 200 kidnapped girls who were brazenly abducted by men believed to be members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect in April, Jonathan had explained his silence over the issue and assured all that his government is in fact sparing no resources to bring the girls back home safely.
“I have had to remain quiet about the continuing efforts by Nigeria’s military, police and investigators to find the girls kidnapped in April from the town of Chibok by the terrorist group Boko Haram. I am deeply concerned, however, that my silence as we work to accomplish the task at hand is being misused by partisan critics to suggest inaction or even weakness,” he wrote.
Jonathan went on to assure everyone that the missing girls would be found and brought back home.
He said, “My silence has been necessary to avoid compromising the details of our investigation. But let me state this unequivocally: My government and our security and intelligence services have spared no resources, have not stopped and will not stop until the girls are returned home and the thugs who took them are brought to justice. On my orders, our forces have aggressively sought these killers in the forests of northern Borno state, where they are based. They are fully committed to defending the integrity of their country.”
The Washington Post is, however, not sparing Jonathan’s blushes as it published a piece yesterday detailing “What Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan should have written." Last month, The Post published an op-ed by Ni­ger­ian President Goodluck Jonathan answering criticism of his response to the kidnapping of hundreds of schoolgirls by the group Boko Haram. This is what he should have written.
I have remained quiet about Nigeria’s continuing efforts to find the girls kidnapped in April from the northern town of Chibok, because, honestly, I hoped the world would ignore it as just another “African tragedy.” But the attention brought by #BringBackOurGirls forced my administration to abandon its usual do-nothing strategy. I admit that for weeks, the Nigerian military was nowhere to be seen in Chibok and aggrieved parents had to resort to venturing into the jungle on foot to search for their children. But I assure everyone, we are doing our best.
I am speaking out now because national elections are in less than a year and my Washington PR firm needs to earn the reported $1.2 million I am paying it to reverse the criticism that has overshadowed all my good intentions.
I wish to assure Nigerians and the international community that, even though my military officially wrapped up its investigation into the kidnappings, without locating the girls, we are sparing no resources. We will keep the findings of the investigations secret, since my good-faith assurances are enough.
My heart aches for the missing children and their families. In fact, my heartache was so painful that I canceled plans to visit Chibok. Instead, I eased my pain by flying to Paris for a national security summit. My first lady, Patience Jonathan, shares in my grief for the families affected by the tragedy. She was so troubled by the agitation of protesters demanding their girls back that she told them to stop their actions and allegedly ordered the police to detain several protest leaders.
While terrorism knows no borders, and security threats rage on across West Africa, Nigeria has long been reluctant to accept counterterrorism assistance from the United States and other partners. Nothing is more important than stopping the machinations of Boko Haram, except maybe my desire to keep up appearances and show the international community that Nigeria was winning the war against the group. I know that I have characterized Boko Haram as a temporary scourge, but in the wake of the latest attacks and kidnappings of more women just this week, I recognize that it has effectively exploited the inability of the Nigerian military to put up any semblance of a sustained coordinated response. But in spite of all the challenges, we are definitely doing our best.
Despite Nigeria’s status as a regional powerhouse with a population of 168 million, until now it had not occurred to me to collaborate with neighboring countries to fight terrorism. I wish to thank French President François Hollande for inviting me and other West African presidents to Paris to discuss this. When it comes to strategizing on African solutions to African problems, a European should take the lead. Besides, I do my best thinking in Paris.
My critics say that decades of neglect have led to conditions amenable to radicalization in the north. My detractors will point also to human rights abuses perpetrated by the military. Let the finger-pointing stop. I am sparing no resources. I propose to set up an international summit to organize a fact-finding commission of investigative inquiry to study the progress of ongoing investigations of corruption and lack of development in the north. I have again asked President Hollande to provide a forum for this in Paris, though I would accept the French Riviera.
Something positive can come out of the kidnappings more than 70 days ago. The world has seen what can happen when terrorism is left to run amok and the citizens of a country have little faith in the ability of their government to protect them. But I wish to assure Nigerians and the rest of the world that I am doing my best. Source: http:///ZkXSBHKvhd

Chocolate city's star artiste,Ice Prince was present last weekend for the BET Awards in Los Angeles. The show which was centered around honouring African American exploits in entertainment in the last year was not short of fanfare as stars from around the world were present to celebrate with Black Entertainment Television. Ice Prince performed, presented an award on the day and got to hang out with his Hollywood friends but all that thrill could not top him being honored by BET in Hollywood when he was presented his own star on the walkway for his achievements in African music and being an international brand. This feat has been achieved by stars of the highest caliber in the past and present and it definitely acknowledges Ice Prince as one of the greatest ever entertainers to come from Africa.

This woman slept with 10,091 men during her 15-year stint working in the sex industry and has written a tell-all book about her experiences.

Are you more shocked by the high number or her ability to keep count so accurately?

Gwyneth Montenegro worked as an escort in Australia and has penned a book entitled 10,000 Men And Counting that opens the lid on the truth behind the somewhat seedy industry.
Despite being raised by devout Christians, Ms Montenegro was a high-end escort by 21, making between $500 and $1,000 (£290-£580) for just an hour’s work.

She was flown to luxury locations by men, blew thousands and thousands on cars and clothes and admitted that ‘it was a lifestyle of cocaine, speed and French champagne’.
Ms Montenegro (her escort pseudonym) retired at 33 after meeting her now business partner, but had previously tried to give up her job in the sex industry by becoming a pilot.

However, she fell back into her old ways after she was diagnosed with kidney failure and was unable to apply for a new pilot licence.

Her number of 10,091 is equal to 56 men per month, or 1.8 men every day. Just have a long, hard think about that.

Her book, and all its juicy secrets, is available to buy online now, and she is represented by uniquemediaPR.

An American Texas family had a Lion as a pet and they never had any incidence with it till its death. So Yes a lion can be kept as a pet.

How is warning the team going 2 solve their inability to win games? Someone should warn the minister to do the right thing to spur them to victory. Warning sounds harsh if I may say.

'Click' like seriously? U gotta do better than that I almost fell for it

You mean Nigeria got only 4 mentions out of 30? I smell a rat somewhere am gonna pretend there's a mistake.

When did Mikel become Nigeria's best player? Its so pathetic that a country of 160 million people with abundant talents looks up to a player like Mikel who has not scored a goal for Chelsea in the EPL as their so called HERO. Smh
