APC SET TO TAKE OVER LEADERSHIP OF THE HOUSE OF REPS.
The All Progressives Congress in the House of Representatives has shared out the leadership positions in the House to its members as part of plans to assume full control of the legislature in the New Year.
The APC, formerly in the minority, outgrew the majority strength of the Peoples Democratic Party after 37 PDP lawmakers defected to it on December 18.
The development gave the country’s main opposition party a slim majority advantage of 172 members over PDP’s 171 in the House that has 360 legislators.
Findings indicated on Tuesday that with about 40 more PDP lawmakers expected to join the APC before the end of this month (January), the opposition party would be in a comfortable majority (212) to assume the leadership of the House.
“The only principal officer whose seat is guaranteed for now is the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal,” said a reliable House source in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to the source, the APC members collectively resolved that Tambuwal would continue to lead the House.
He said, “We have long resolved that Tambuwal will remain the speaker even in an APC dominated House until he decides to dump the PDP for the APC. For the other positions, we are taking over. We are electing a new deputy speaker also.”
2014 politics has started.

Dj Jimmy blast headies award and host Tiwa savage and Dr Sid
There have been lots of dramas over the last concluded Headies Awards 2013, Burna Boy was reported to have walked away as soon as he lost out in his nomination, Orezi indirectly hit at Waje when he lost to her.
Now, to the father of all beef when it comes to the headies award, he is no other person than DJ Timmy. He is so bitter and has literary eaten up the organizers of the award in his rage.
He said, ‘Let me start by saying I am not just disappointed in you but u have just proved to us that Nigeria is not getting better any time soon. You have been manipulated by a greedy and hopeless telecommunications company (MTN) because they sponsored your event and you forgot the ultimate rule that awards are meant to be impartial and should be decided by the general public especially when u told us to vote. You distributed the awards among four MTN ambassadors (Iyanya, Davido, Praiz, and KCee) and just one Glo ambassador won (Waje). Is that not politics or is it coincidence? Now let us analyse…’
He said the award was a flop, the stage of the event was like the models runway, their choreographers lacked ideas and couldn’t even interpret the music, ‘…Who on earth uses the Mavin slaves -Dr Shit popularly called Dr Sid and Tiwa Gabbage knows as Tiwa Savage as anchors of an event? Oh I forgot, the awards lacked credibility and substance.’
The most funny part of this gist is he has recommended that MTN and PDP should merge and start what he calls MHDP(Mtn Headies Democratic Party).

The government is to launch a consultation on the idea, with a view to making the necessary legal changes.
See technology. We will get there some day I guess?

Iyetade Soyinka, a daughter of Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, has died. Ms. Soyinka, who was born June 6, 1965, died at the University of Ibadan Teaching Hospital where she was being treated for an undisclosed ailment.
The death was disclosed in a statement signed by Jahman Anikulapo, an aide to Mr. Soyinka, one of the world's foremost dramatists and winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in literature. The statement noted that the late Iyetade Soyinka was a student at the Staff School and Queens School, Ibadan before she studied Medicine at the University of Ibadan.
Mr. Anikulapo's statement described the deceased as "affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious," adding that she "struggled with her health in recent years." Despite her health woes, the late Iyetade Soyinka "greeted every day with a smile and doted on her two children."
The statement, which was issued on behalf of the deceased's family, revealed that Ms. Soyinka "took ill quite suddenly and passed away while being treated at UCH, Ibadan.

Burna Boy storms out of the Headies award venue after loss to Sean Tizzle.
The next rated award at the Headies award comes with a brand new ride and seems to be one whom every new artist looks forward to getting for himself.
At this year's award, Sean Tizzle picked the award and got the keys to a Hyundai Tucson SUV. Shockingly, as soon as Sean Tizzle was announced as the winner, Burna Boy left the venue, telling photographers not to take photos of him.
Some industry insiders at the event were overheard saying Burna Boy deserved the award more than his fellow nominees including Sean Tizzle, Dammy Krane, Seyi Shay and Phyno.
It has also been speculated that Burna Boy didn't win the award because he is a GLO ambassador and the awards show is sponsored by a fellow telecommunications company MTN Nigeria

APC will teach PDP a bitter lesson says Rotimi Amaechi.
Governor of Rivers State and chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) would teach the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) a hard political lesson next year. He spoke at a media interaction in portharcourt.
He said: “Most of you may have known that I have since left the PDP to a better party called the All Progressives Congress because the fact remains that PDP is a drowning party. Last weekend, PDP members of the House of Assembly in Kaduna State and party officers left PDP to APC. How can party officers and members of the House of Assembly be leaving for another party if they are comfortable?
“In Zamfara State, members of the House of Assembly, who are of the PDP, have moved to the APC. Unless they (PDP) rig election or sit down and announce result, it will be a difficult call for the PDP to win this country. But that is not the reason why I left and that is not the reason why the five of us left. I can assure you that more governors will leave. They are quite uncomfortable; they need to take some shots to come out and by God’s grace, they will come.
“For me, bad governance was one of the reasons why I left the PDP. I have been shouting and the PDP does not care. But this is the first time they will care. You cannot say it’s opposition because we are gradually forming government. We have taken over House of Representatives and before March, I bet you, we will take over the Senate. Just watch out. The pressure will mount so much that you will see people move from the PDP into APC.
“For now, it is narrowing down closely on a daily basis. Watch out before March if we don’t have the numbers that we are looking for. So, you can’t call us opposition anymore because there are three arms of government and only two are electable; the executive and legislature.

Taxi driver returns $300, 000 to owner. Wow.
A poker player who left $300,000 in the back seat of a Las Vegas taxi made good on his promise this week, handing over a $10,000 reward to the honest cabbie who returned the stash.Yellow Checker Star Cab Company CEO Bill Shranko confirmed Friday that Gerardo Gamboa had been paid by the poker player. The cab company also honored the driver’s good deed by naming him employee of the year, awarding him $1,000 and giving him a gift certificate to a Las Vegas steakhouse.It’s unclear how Gamboa plans to spend the belated Christmas gift. He did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Friday.The tale, was first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, started Monday when Gamboa made a pickup at the Bellagio casino. A hotel doorman noticed a brown paper bag on the back seat and handed it to him; Gamboa thought it was candy.The driver said he had another passenger by the time he began wondering what kind of chocolates were in the brown paper bag. He peeked inside at a traffic light and spotted the cash.“I told my passenger, ‘You are my witness on this,’” the 13-year taxi driver told the Las Vegas Sun, “and then I immediately called my dispatcher.”Gamboa took the six bundles of $100 bills to the company’s main office, where Las Vegas police and casino officials linked it to the poker player.It took several hours to verify the identity of the owner and return the cash. Authorities aren’t identifying the poker player.Before he learned about the anonymous gambler’s gift, Gamboa said he wasn’t in it for the money.“If he doesn’t give me anything, that’s OK,” Gamboa told the Sun earlier this week. “I’m not waiting for any kind of return. I just wanted to do the right thing, and I appreciate what the company did for me.”AP

Shoking: Davido admits that his Track "Skelewu" is a Juju thing.
Is it that Davido has become superstitious? Going by the comments he has made about his hit song, ‘Skelewu’, he said Skelewu is a spiritual and juju thing because of the misfortune that has happened to the two music directors who directed the music video. The two directors have lost their fathers after the release of the music they directed separately. We are aware that the shooting of the visuals of Skelewu was nothing less than controversial, but being a Juju thing?
Davido tweeted, “Skelewu”is spiritual and Juju tins.’

Davido, really?
Ace comedienne Princess' seven months old marriage crashes.
The seven-month union between ace female humour merchant, Oluwadamilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess, and Adeshola Jeremiah has crashed as the chubby comedienne said they split due to “irreconcilable differences”.
It was learnt that the marriage had not been a bed of roses as both parties had been having incessant fights, which necessitated family and friends intervening on several occasions.
Princess, a graduate of Theatre Arts from the University of Lagos, got married on May 8, 2013. She earlier confirmed the split to an online entertainment site, thenet.ng.
She also confirmed the story.
Princess said, “It is true, my marriage has ended. We got married in May. We tried to work it out but we couldn’t.
“It happened a while ago. It is not easy for a marriage to end. All the excitement of marriage has passed. We wanted to keep it out of the public for a while.”
She continued “People have been calling me since. I opened up about this at an event yesterday. It wasn’t a case of domestic abuse. We just had irreconcilable differences. Nobody wants her marriage to crash. I am the one in the spotlight, I didn’t think it was a news I should broadcast. But eventually, I had to open up. God knows best, He would strengthen me. It is better to try than not to try at all.
“Now, I even use it as a joke. People who call me should also tell me they have a job for me and not to call me and cry and ask how it happened.”
The news from the stables of the humour merchant is coming barely days to the New Year.
A few days to her wedding, the happy and proud bride had written on one of her social media accounts that her hubby was coming to wipe off the shame of her life.
