I won’t quit before June, Sanusi dares Jonathan .


The controversy surrounding the planned exit of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, deepened on Thursday with the governor insisting that he would not quit the post until his term expired on June 2, 2014.

Sanusi has said he will not proceed on his terminal leave in March as initially being speculated.The President had reportedly asked the CBN governor to resign immediately because of the alleged deliberate leakage of the letter that Sanusi wrote to him in which the governor accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation of not remitting $49.8bn crude oil revenue to the Federation Account.

Sanusi has however denied leaking the letter to former President Olusegun Obasanjo or anyone for that matter, and allegedly told the President that he could only be removed by two-thirds of members of the Senate as required by law.The governor reportedly told the President that the letter was available in the Presidential Villa, the Ministry of Finance and the CBN, and wondered how he could be accused of leaking it.

50 CENT'S BABY MAMA #1 HE HASN'T SEEN HIS TEENAGE SON IN 2 YEARS


50 Cent's teenage son feels like he's been replaced by the rapper's new baby -- saying he hasn't seen his dad in nearly two years ... in fact, he didn't even know he had a half-brother until the story broke.

Marquise Jackson's mother Shaniqua Tompkins in an interview said that, the last time 50 Cent saw 17-year-old Marquise was May 2012, several months before 50's second child Sire Jackson was born.

The fight stemmed from a botched visitation attempt -- 50 claimed he showed up to Marquise's house in Atlanta to visit, but Marquise refused to answer the door, and the texts that followed were brutal ... including messages like, "F**k you stop texting me" and "I don't have a son anymore."Now Marquise feels abandoned ... because 50 is showering Sire with attention and hasn't bothered to reach out to Marquise.

50's, rep tells that, "50 is saddened by the attention-seeking tactics of his son's mother.  He remains a proud and supportive father and feels blessed to have two sons."  A source connected to 50 says the woman hasn't worked since 2002 and this is ultimately a money grab.

50 recently posted doting photos of Sire on Instagram, but quickly removed them out of concern for Sire's safety.

DENNIS RODMAN Sorry About N. Korea Outburst I WAS BOOZED UP!


Dennis Rodman is blaming the a-a-a-alcohol for his wild screaming North Korea-defending outburst on CNN this week ... saying he was drinking before he went on live TV.During the maniacal rant, Rodman -- who's in N. Korea -- defended dictator/tiny person Kim Jong-Un's decision to imprison American Kenneth Bae, even though N. Korea won't say why Bae is being punished.

Now, Rodman is backpedaling HARD ... saying, "I embarrassed a lot of people. I'm very sorry. At this point I should know better than to make political statements. I'm truly sorry."He continued, "I had been drinking ... It's not an excuse but by the time the interview happened I was upset. I was overwhelmed."
Rodman also issued an apology to Kenneth Bae's family, his teammates and CNN host Chris Cuomo ... the target of Rodman's outburst.Rodman says some of his basketball friends -- who joined him on the trip -- were leaving the country because after his outburst, their dream of "basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart."

10 REASONS WHY COMEDIENNE PRINCESS MARRIAGE CRASHED!


More facts have emerged on why the marriage of Nigerian comedienne, Damilola Adekoya popularly called Princess crashed. Princess got married to movie producer/ Director Adeshola Jeremiah sometime in May and barely 2 weeks into the marriage the couple started having problems. Princess had revealed that her marriage crashed due to irreconcilable differences which they could not work out.

However, close friends to the couple are pointing accusing fingers at Princess high profile lifestyle.

1. According to a source, her husband got tired of Princess high profile, party/show going lifestyle at the early stage of their union and attempts to curtail these excesses led to the failure of their marriage.

2. It was also alleged that Adeshola married Princess for her money, thinking she had plenty of it and wanted to use her as a means to gain prominence in the showbiz industry, not knowing that she was only a struggling woman trying to make it in life.

3. The marriage was dead on arrival! Adeshola is a ladies man. He prefers lepa shandy. His long throat lured him to Princess. He thought Princess was another Tiwa Savage. After the marriage, reality dawned on him and wahala started.

4. Ridiculously, Adeshola complains that Princess snores! Haba, are you just knowing that? Didn't you guys date at all for crying out loud, was it a blind date. Basically, most endowed women snores, they always have a natural breathing problem because of weight issues, in sum, the snoring was too loud!!

5. Adeshola complains that Princess was a little low on personal hygiene! This may sound amazing but when lovers fight, all linen are washed and ironed in the market!!

6. Adeshola could not meet up with Princess high profile lifestyle and monetary demands. Monetarily, Shola was the wife while Princess was the husband, after marriage, the table turned, music remixed, Princess demanded for housekeeping, a shocker to the gold digger who all along enjoyed free Mr Biggs burger and Akerele suya at every visit. Marriage is different from courtship.

7. Aside, the wedding ceremony was hastened at the behest of Princess. It was done primarily to satisfy Princess. Ade did not smile or really danced during the ceremony. He was in a trance all through, as if charmed by Baba Lagos Bar Beach juju!! He was not prepared for the union.

8. The marriage also affected Princess patronage. Her contacts and contracts dwindled, her pulse plummeted and her friends almost abandoned her since they didnt want to be seen disturbing a married woman.

9. The family intervened to no avail. Even fellow comedians attempted to bell the cat, but then, Omoye was already dancing in the market!!

10. Weighing the odds, having lost out in the Christmas and December lucrative deals and shows, Princess thought, omo, i must not dull myself, i cannot kill myself by myself, i don beg tire, i lost friends, lost money, one guy wan turn himself to King Charles of England, omo, i have to move on! Happiness is not sold in the market, you are the architect of your own fortune in life, fortune favors the brave! Funke Akindele is happier now, bloggers go talk and mellow, its my life, hence the public declaration of separation like the reading of an annual budget!Please note that as the movement of a snake on a mountain top is shrouded in controversy, matters of the heart is mysterious.

Do not be surprised if the parties resolve their differences. Never ever bet on lovers!!Unable to bear his excesses anymore, Princess decided to quit the marriage though its not known if she will file for divorce.

Sharon Stone was furious over Basic Instinctnude scene .


Sharon Stone "slapped" her Basic Instinctdirector the first time she saw her infamous leg crossing scene.The 55-year-old actress had been reluctant to remove her underwear for the provocative moment but had been assured by Paul Verhoeven that nothing would be visible - so she was furious when she watched the 1992 thriller in the cinema for the first time and realised just how much she had exposed.

She said: "When we did it, it was going to be an innuendo and the director said, 'We're seeing the white of your underwear, I need you to take them off.' And I'm like, 'I don't want you to see anything and he's like, 'No, no you're not going to.' So I gave him the underwear, put them in the pocket of his shirt, and he said, 'Now watch on the monitor...'"In those days... it's not like now where everything is high definition, and when I looked at the monitor you really couldn't see anything."So when I saw it in the theatre, with a bunch of other people, I was like [in shock].

When the film ended I went in the booth and I slapped him and I said, 'You could have showed this to me by myself'."However, despite her anger, Sharon admits the scene feels "right" and was appropriate for her novelist character Catherine Tramell.Speaking on The Talk, she added: "It's so right for the movie and so right for the character but if I would have gotten that, even by accident, I would have had the courtesy to show it to my actor. But, I would have kept it in the movie."

Queen Elizabeth asks Prince Harry to do the worst thing ever !


London - Britain's Queen Elizabeth reportedly asked Prince Harry to shave off his beard.The flame-haired prince grew facial hair during his 208-mile expedition in Antarctica for the Walking for the Wounded South Pole Allied Challenge 2013, but his grandmother isn't said to be a fan of his new look and prefers him to be "clean-shaven".

A source said:
 "The Queen soon let her displeasure be known. She doesn't mind royal men growing beards when they are away in the Armed Forces or out in the wilds like Harry was in the Antarctic, but she expects them to be clean-shaven when they get home."Royal staff are not supposed to grow beards or moustaches and she probably thinks it is difficult to enforce that rule when her own grandson has a beard."
