Kanye West’s Alleged Attack: He Was ‘Defending’ Kim Kardashian
Kanye would do anything to protect his beloved fiance, Kim Kardashian — and that includes allegedly punching a teenager in the face. Kanye’s alleged Jan. 13 attack on the teen may seem out of line but he swears it was strictly an act of ‘self defense.
TheYeezus artist could be facing legal action after he allegedly attacked an 18-year-old man who hurled a series of racial slurs at Kim Kardashian inside a Beverly Hills, Calif. medical building. But Kanye is telling friends that he was 100 percent right for coming to “his girl’s” defense.
Kanye texted shortly after the incident, saying, “Yeah, it’s another day defending my girl.”
Kim was swarmed by the paparazzi when she tried to walk into a Beverly Hills medical facility for an appointment, and the 18-year-old teen claimed he was just trying to help her by yelling at the photogs and using the N word!
Kim, who’s CLEARLY in a relationship with a black man, politely asked the man to stop using that word out of respect for her and her family but that only made things worse. The man shockingly started yelling at Kim, saying, “F**k you b***h. Just trying to help you. Shut up n****r lover, stupid sl*t.”
Poor Kim!
Sack Me If You Can, PDP Chairman Bamanga Tukur Dares President Jonathan .
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has challenged President Goodluck Jonathan to remove him from office if he can.
Tukur's outburst followed the refusal of members of the party's National Working Committee to attend a meeting he called at the party's secretariat in Abuja last Wednesday.
The Adamawa State born politician, who is growing isolated at the top levels of the party where he is being held responsible for its dwindling influence and the defection of members, was infuriated by the attitude of his fellow national officers.
He told reporters that he can only be removed from office through a properly conducted National Convention and that unless and until that takes place, nobody, including President Jonathan can remove him.
The National Chairman also dismissed the allegation that he has been asked to resign by the President, and accused the opposition of planting the story to create disharmony in the party.
"I am an elected National Chairman, I have my certificate of return, I cannot resign," he bragged. "The convention brought me, so it has to take the convention that brought me for me to resign.So, not even the President can ask me to resign. Remember, some members of the NWC were asked to go recently because the election that brought them was flawed, so Mr. President cannot tread that route again."

US slams Nigeria for same-sex marriage ban.
The United States on Monday criticized Nigeria for approving a law that punishes same-sex marriage with prison, saying the move would curtail basic human rights.
Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States was “deeply concerned” by Nigeria’s new law which “dangerously restricts freedom of assembly, association and expression for all Nigerians.”Kerry said the act “is inconsistent with Nigeria’s international legal obligations and undermines the democratic reforms and human rights protections enshrined in its 1999 constitution.”
“People everywhere deserve to live in freedom and equality. No one should face violence or discrimination for who they are or who they love,” Kerry said in a statement.
Under the new law, anyone in a same-sex marriage or union would face up to 14 years in prison, with such partnerships reached overseas considered void in Nigeria.
President Goodluck Jonathan signed the law because he considered it consistent with most Nigerians’ views toward homosexuality, his spokesman, Reuben Abati, told AFP.
The United States has generally warm relations with Nigeria but President Barack Obama’s administration has increasingly put a priority on fighting for gay rights overseas.
In Uganda, President Yoweri Museveni has said that he will not rush into signing a law under which gays would be jailed after criticism from Obama, Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu and other global figures.(AFP)
Ronaldo is World Footballer of the Year
Real Madrid and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for player of the year.
Ronaldo scored a staggering 69 goals in 59 matches for club and country in 2013 and was hot favourite to lift the prestigious award he last held in 2008, reports Sky Sports.
Barcelona and Argentina’s Lionel Messi has claimed the honour over the past four years but had to make way for his La Liga rival, despite his 43 goals in as many matches last year.
Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery, who helped his side win the treble of Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup, was the other player in the running but the France international was also to be disappointed.
But from the Nigerian side, it was not all smooth sail for Ronaldo as he did not receive any vote from the three Nigerian voters. Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi who backed Mikel Obi for the African Footballer of the Year award ironically voted Yaya Toure for the world event. Yaya could not make it to the last stage. His Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama voted for Lionel Messi while Nigeria’s media representative Samm Audu also picked Messi.
After picking up the award, a tearful Ronaldo said, “I have to say thank you to all of my team-mates for my club Real Madrid and the national team.“Without their efforts it wouldn’t have been possible. I’m very happy. I have to thank everyone who have been involved with me. It’s a tremendously emotional moment.”
The world star got instant congratulatory messages from across the world especially through Twitter.
Jay Jay Okocha twitted, “CR7 finally…The right player won. Congratulations to new Ballon D’or winner. you really worked hard for it..even though!!!
