Mariah Carey says working with Nicki Minaj was 'like going to work with Satan'

 Mariah Carey has slammed Nicki Minaj.

The 43-year-old singer - who repeatedly clashed with the Starships hitmaker when they were both judges on American Idol last year - insisted she wants to press "delete" on her time on the show and claimed she can't even remember her fellow panelist.

Asked about the programme on Power 105.1's Breakfast Club radio show, she said: "I was a professional on that show, and that's all I have to say. I was a complete professional."

When one of the hosts said: "Nicki was late though", Mariah replied ''Who?"

She added: "I don't even remember what that was. That was a moment in my life that I'm just going to press delete."

The You're Mine (Eternal) singer - who has twins Moroccan and Monroe, two, with husband Nick Cannon - previously admitted she ''hated'' being on American Idol, suggesting Nicki was the reason she had such a bad time on the show.

She has said: "Honestly, I hated it. Here's what it was. I was the first person who signed on...I thought it was going to be a three-person panel. They gave me a nice...monetary moment, and I was just like, 'OK, Randy Jackson will be there; I've known him forever. He used to play bass for me. Like, this isn't a big deal. This will be nothing.'

"But it wasn't that. It was like going to work every day in hell with Satan."

APC Registration Causes Shortage of ... Brooms

Kaduna South is running out of brooms as a result of the All Progressive Congress (APC) registration.

According to DailyTrust, many shop owners and residents were requesting for brooms from in Zangon Kataf, when a former Deputy Governor of the state, Engr. James Bawa Magaji, moved to villages in Kaduna South shortly after his registration in Fadan Kaje Gida, on February 12, 2014, Wednesday.

"We've been searching for brooms in many of the shops here but all they tell us is that it's finished.

"Some of us have been putting calls across to our friends but they tell us there are no brooms", Samaila Emmanuel, a resident, said.

Since the APC registration started, Okada riders, market women and other individuals who want to identify with the party have been rushing for brooms. The coming home of Engr. Bawa Magaji to register as an APC member made it a more scarce commodity, with many shops making brisk business out of it.

A shop owner in Zonkwa, Peter Bahago, said he had never sold brooms as he did since the APC registration commenced.

"I am surprised, the broom market had never been as good, and we are grateful that we made good sells when Magaji came to our area", he said.

It would be added that the APC in Kaduna commenced its membership registration in a peaceful atmosphere with reports of high turnout.

Some members of the party, however revealed that there were hitches, when they trooped to the registration centers without passport photographs.

I Have No Regrets Writing to GEJ – Obasanjo

Ex- President Olusegun Obasanjo said he had never regretted writing his scathing letter to President Goodluck Jonathan in December 2013.

OBJ revealed this in an interview to BBC on February 13, 2014, Thursday.

He said that the letter was not meant to be confrontational, but was aimed at drawing the President's attention to national issues.

He said if Jonathan wanted any discussions on their relations, or on any other matter, affecting both of them, his doors would remain open for that.

"Since I wrote the letter, we spoke about six times," Obasanjo said, according to a news item on the BBC Hausa website.

Asked if he regretted writing the letter, Obasanjo said:

"Why should I regret? You only regret when you fail to do the right thing before it's too late. But writing a letter at the right moment, a letter that is the right letter to write, and you wrote it, you should not regret writing that."

It would be recalled that in his letter to Jonathan, Obasanjo accused the President of condoning corruption, parochialism, dishonesty and training a killer-squad. He said Jonathan had promised him previously to do only one presidential term.

But in his response, Jonathan accused Obasanjo of endangering the national security and making false, substantiated allegations.
