I love older men in bed
The 37-year-old singer and mother of three was speaking about her relationship on Zionfelix’s Celebrity Ride Show, where she said she has chosen to live her ‘love life’ that way because ‘old men’ do not have the energy to last longer in bed.
According to her, she doesn't like sex that much so it balances her case with the older men who barely last longer in bed.
“I am an old man’s girlfriend. Everybody in Ghana knows that I don’t date young guys. If you are a young guy and I date you, I might break your heart. I like old men. They are very gentle,” said the ‘Saucy Gal’ act.
“They don’t also like sex. They can’t even have sex for long. You know, I don’t like sex like that. I like sex once in a while

Kim Jong-un’s wife, Ri Sol-ju, makes rare public appearance at gala banquet to celebrate nuclear tests
Kim
Jong-un’s wife has made a rare public appearance alongside the North
Korean leader at a celebration of the pariah state’s advancing nuclear
capabilities.
Ri
Sol-ju was photographed at a gala banquet for the engineers who
conducted country’s most powerful nuclear test to date last Sunday. The
celebration is believed to have taken play at the People's Theatre in
the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
The
dictator’s wife has barely been seen in public in recent years,
prompting speculation she may have given birth to the couple’s third
child recently.
Kim,
33, broke with tradition when he was first appeared in public with Ri
in 2012 and since then North Korean media has referred to her has his
wife. Neither Mr Kim’s grandfather, Kim Il-sung, nor father, Kim
Jong-il, were ever photographed with their wives or partners in public.
Ri
and Kim are reported to have met around 2010 when she was a member of
the country’s Unhasu orchestra. The 27-year-old First Lady of the
impoverished state is said to have a penchant for luxury goods and was
seeen in 2012 with a Dior handbag reportedly worth over £1,000.
The
couple has two children, whose genders are unknown. It is unusual for
North Koreans to have more than two children, but Kim may have felt
pressure to have a third if the first two were girls.

“We know our limitations we have to continue to strengthen our constitution, to strengthen the resolve of our people to live together, work together. We are lucky this year that last year and this year the rainy season is good. If it were not good I must confide in you that I was considering which country to run to.

Leaked Tape: Why Aso Rock Cabal Labeled Aisha Buhari The Suicide Bomber From Yola
A leaked telephone conversation between Messrs. Mamman Daura and Dr.
Mahmud Tukur, two of the most influential members of President Muhammadu
Buhari’s kitchen cabinet, has revealed the health of the President is
not improving as well as they hoped. The conversation, exclusively
obtained by SaharaReporters, also show that the two members of the
infamous cabal holding the President hostage, have a low opinion of Mrs.
Aisha Buhari, the President’s wife.
In the leaked telephone conversation between the duo dealt with his wife, Aisha, who was extensively discussed and derided while discussing Buhari's health condition in London, the conversation quickly veered into how they view his wife, whom they referred to as "Suicide Bomber from Yola" on account of her disruptive character. The leaked audio validates Saharareporters reporting that Mrs. Buhari had been sidelined and prevented from taking control of her husband's recovery by members of the powerful cabal.
The conversation began with Mr. Tukur initiating a conversation, ringing Mr. Daura five times, with the phone going unanswered. At the sixth ring, Mr. Daura answered, speaking Hausa.
“Salaam Alaikum (Peace be unto you), greeted Mr. Tukur.
His colleague, Mr. Daura, responded the same way, saying: “Malaikum salaam, Senior Mahmud
Tukur, wondering why his calls previously went unanswered said: “You did not answer my calls. I have called severally.”
“I am surprised because I only saw one missed call from you just now. I went to pray (Na je nayi Sallah) then I saw one call. O dear! That's why I am replying,” said Mr. Daura.
Tukur made to go into the purpose for the call, saying: That's it. I am trying to ..., adding “Yaya gajiya?” (Hope you are not too tired)
Mr. Daura replied: “Alhamdulillahi” (I thank God).
“Okay. How is that place (Aso Rock) and person (President Buhari)?” inquired Mr. Tukur.
“That person? Well, it's well. He is getting better,” responded Mr. Daura.
Wondering why the response was not categorical, Mr. Tukur said: “You said okay as if you are not sure ...”
Both men broke into knowing laughter, with Mr. Daura actually sneering.
Mr. Tukur pushed again: “You said okay as if the getting well, strong enough or fast enough. What is it?
“Yes. Not 100 per cent. Not as you or I would like but of course ...,” said Mr. Daura before a brief interruption.
Tukur, again, pushed, saying: “I hope he is meeting up with his treatment.”
“It is encouraging,” the President’s nephew replied.
“Okay. Very well. Thank God. Please, extend my best wishes to him,” chimed Mr. Tukur.
“So, I wish tomorrow I will arrive by Allah’s grace,” said Daura.
“Okay that's nice. (expresses surprise). Is the wedding day close?” asked Tukur.
“Yes, it's close. Slowly, the time is close. It's like time is on a fast-track. Our time is almost up. We are close to rounding up,” said Daura.
Tukur, mumbling his agreement with his colleague, said: “Every morning, I say a prayer”.
“Hmm. Hmm. Allah help us. (Allah a ji kam mu). Wallahi. Wallahi,” Daura said.
Nigeria's First Lady, Aisha Buhari
The conversation moved to Mrs. Buhari.“Hmm. This thing. Is there any improvement from suicide bomber from Yola?” asked Tukur.
“Suicide?” asked Daura hesitantly, apparently unsure who was being referred to at first.
“Suicide bomber. You know that's the way that person is referred to,” Tukur stated just before another interruption.
Daura, apparently displeased by the President’s wife, said: “It's worse. A hundred times worse than what you know.”
Tukur concurred, saying: “Allah”.
“Wallahi,” responded Daura.
Tukur wondered whether the President (Baba) will Baba talk to the suicide bomber again or not.
Daura said there is no need because the woman does not heed counsel.
Tukur agreed, saying: “This is the problem.”
“That person does not listen to anyone. What Sani Zango did (speaking to the person) and he just passed away. Then, Baba also tried. But then it turned out the same thing,” explained Daura.
Tukur said the President is very patient and has resigned to fate in matters concerning his wife. “There is virtually nothing you can do again at this point,” he twice said.
Daura agreed, saying: “It's an absolute...(trails off ). It's like a fixed breakfast. There is nothing that can be done. You can't stay. You can't go. That's it,” he said to the agreement of Tukur, who said: “Wallahi”
“Yes. It's tragic,” quipped Daura.
“That's why ... said it's a luxury breakfast,” Tukur said to the delight of both men, who laughed heartily.
Daura emphasized the futility of correcting the woman, saying: “This is more than a luxury breakfast. It's an absolute fixed breakfast. This one,” following up with a plea to his friend that they should just keep praying to Allah
Tukur replied that he was told that some or his people that have been talking.

Daura replied: “Well, it just bounces off. It just bounces off.”
“Perhaps, it's best to find out about the people involved like the accounts staff and others. Let's do this and neutralize him (in apparent reference to the former Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Mr. Olusola Oke),” Tukur said.
Daura said there are many people bringing or providing many "information" and work is going on in that respect.
Tukur urged Daura to talk to the President come out with “the project”.
Daura got his drift, saying: “Okay. Okay”.
Tukur said he thought about the matter, but felt it's best Daura speaks to the President about it.
“Don't worry. I will speak to him about it. You know he is very fed up with this NIA thing. The way that man messed up and scattered things,” disclosed Daura.
Tukur asked if the President briefed him
Replying, Daura said: “Yes. We spoke with him. We tried to do damage limitation but it hasn't worked. I am sorry to say.”
“Before or after the event?” inquired Tukur.
Daura said it was before the event.
Tukur replied: “Oh! That could have been something...”
Daura said: “Because ai baba Kamar .... because it's gravely damaging to the security agencies.”
Tukur agreed, before raising the matter of one Abuja-based youth.
Daura, getting the drift, said the person being discussed is a man of gravitas.
“What I am saying is that if you want inside something (information), you may call him,” advised Tukur.
Daura said: “Okay. Okay.”
Tukur explained that someone told him that the guy gives money out to a lot of people and it is the reason he has been able to find people to defend him.
“You see, for instance, Saraki has come out to speak for him. But I think if you have time. Ask that he be called to come see you. Let him tell you things. You can ask him anything. Also, wider things. That is why I tried to have Mallam Abbah... But let me ask. How many are working for you in terms of ground work. How many people have you got?” he asked Daura, who said he has nobody.
Tukur advised him to find people to work for him in such places to provide him information. “Have them call him for you. And then ask him what is going on... if one is lucky. Even if one is not lucky. Talk to him,” he said to Daura.
Daura concurred. Tukur said the man in question has been working in the Presidential Villa for a long time and he is very bright.
“I think he will also be reliable, from what I know of him. Like I told you. He is the one I rely upon to get me information for a long time now,” disclosed Tukur.
Daura, impressed, said: “So. He is really experienced then.”
Tukur revealed that during his editorship of the defunct New Nigerian, he always asked the man in question to conduct research and he turned in viable information on different people within three days.
Again impressed, Daura said: Allah is king (Allah Sarki).
Tukur said he needed to tell him what he just did.
Daura promised to get reach the man.
Tukur then told him the man was reliable and that Daura need not rely on third-party information.
“This one is first party. So, if possible, call him. He is someone I trust,” he said.
Daura replied: “Okay.”
Tukur moved to another subject, probably Mrs. Buhari, saying: “I am really worried about that person in the house. I just don't know what to do.”
Daura said members of the cabal are frustrated.
“A few days ago, at the dining table, this suicide bomber we are talking about went and stood there subsequently the man refused to eat,” he told Tukur.
Tukur wondered why she would stand at the dining table.
Daura replied that those serving the President are in the habit of hiding items he is barred from eating. He added that they keep telling stories to third parties that the President
will not last.
“I think you’ve heard enough. Until I return. God sparing our lives. Until I return. Next week,” he said, adding “The thing is beyond us. We are watching. Wallahi. It's beyond us.
Tukur said: “Okay. Until you return.”
Daura laughed and said: “Thank God. My only consolation is that if we are praying to Allah and in good faith, things will work out. But if Allah want a different outcome, that is the way it's going to be.”
Tukur agrees
Daura closed the conversation, saying: “Until we speak again.”
Tukur greeted him: “Ma salaam.” The conversation ended.
Kano State Bans ‘Okada’ In Capital
Addressing journalists in his office on Monday, the managing director of
KAROTA, AIG Mohammad Hadi (Rtd,) revealed that the re-introduction of
the restriction was part of security measures against the resurgence of
Book Haram in Kano
Addressing journalists in his office on Monday, the managing director of KAROTA, AIG Mohammad Hadi (Rtd,) revealed that the re-introduction of the restriction was part of security measures against the resurgence of Book Haram in Kano.
"Information reaching us clearly indicated that Kano is now a soft target for the Boko Haram insurgence and we have no choice than to deploy all necessary measures to ensure security of lives and property in our state,” he stated. “Due to the military bombardment in the Northeast, information at our disposal revealed that the group are now looking for other locations, especially Kano, to perpetrate their devilish acts."
The KAROTA boss reminded the journalists that the law restricting passengers on motorbikes in Kano was enacted in February 2013 during the tenure of Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso as governor, when investigations showed that most attacks were being carried out using motorcycles. “So, part of the security strategy was the ban of passengers on motorcycles.”
He said that the law was only relaxed to make life bearable, sequel to the relative peace enjoyed in the state in the last few years.
He noted that while some states have restricted movement of motorcycles entirely, Kano is only stopping the carrying of passengers, whether commercial or private, having found reason to reactivate the enforcement of the law
The former AIG maintained that the operation, which is being executed in collaboration with other security agencies, has prosecuted 607 offenders since enforcement began seven days ago, adding that no stone would be left unturned to sanitize the system.
Under the new law, those found guilty would be charged to six months imprisonment or a fine of N10,000 fine, or both.
On the notion that the fine is merely meant to drive revenue into government coffers, Mr. Hadi said the intent is simply meant to enhance security.
A few days ago, the Department of State Security (DSS) was said to have arrested some leaders of Boko Haram in Kano. Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje,who hinted about that development during the Sallah celebration, cautioned residents to be security-conscious while going about their lawful businesses.
Mr. President, Python Dance Is Unconstitutional By Aloy Ejimakor
According to the Army press release, the President acted pursuant to
Section 218 of the Constitution which gives the President the "power to
determine the operational use of the armed forces of the Federation."
But that power is NOT absolute as it is unarguably qualified by Section
217, which clearly sets forth the situations/conditions for the exercise
of that power.

1. According to the Army press release, the President acted pursuant to Section 218 of the Constitution which gives the President the "power to determine the operational use of the armed forces of the Federation." But that power is NOT absolute as it is unarguably qualified by Section 217, which clearly sets forth the situations/conditions for the exercise of that power. The circumstances/conditions are:
(i) for the defense of Nigeria from external aggression.
(ii) for the maintenance of the territorial integrity and securing the borders of Nigeria from violation on land, sea and air, AND ...
(iii) for suppressing insurrection and acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the President; subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly. In this last scenario, that is - suppression of insurrection and assistance to civil authorities - the President can only invoke such powers on terms prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly. Python Dance was predicated under this subsection. Think!
2. To be sure, the power to deploy troops to suppress an insurrection is exactly what it says ... suppressing insurrection, not fighting kidnapping, armed robbery, killing of priests and certainly not in suppressing 'unarmed' agitation ... as the army press release stated. To be clear, 'agitation is garden variety expression of political opinion/peaceful assembly expressly protected under Chapter IV of the Constitution'. It's easily distinguishable from 'internal insurrection', which bears two elements - active bearing of arms; and actual levying of war against the federal government. In the interim, there's no such thing in the Southeast. And all the reasons adduced for Egwu Eke are prevalent in all parts of Nigeria.
3. There are three recent and closely related judicial pronouncements (two from Federal High Court, one from Court of Appeal) that are considered locus classicus on the issue at bar. The details are as follows:
(i). In a January 2015 judgment, Justice R.M. Aikawa of the Federal High Court Sokoto invalidated President Jonathan's unilateral deployment of soldiers for the June 2014 Ekiti State guber election. The judgment restrained Jonathan “from engaging the service of the Nigerian Armed Forces in the security supervision of elections in any manner whatsoever in any part of Nigeria, without an Act of the National Assembly.”
(ii). On appeal, the Court of Appeal, per Justice Abdul Aboki, in a judgment delivered in February 2015, held that “the President of Nigeria has no powers to call on the Nigerian Armed Forces and to unleash them on peaceful citizens". The court maintained that 'Section 215 of the 1999 Constitution makes the maintenance of internal security, including law and order the exclusive responsibility of the police'.
(iii). The following month - in March 2015 - the Federal High Court (in Gbajabiamila v. President Jonathan, et al) ruled on the same issue, and that is: deploying soldiers to civil duties. Justice Buba of that court stated that deployment of soldiers to civil duties such as elections was a contravention of Section 217(2) (c) of the Constitution and section 1 of the Armed Forces Act, noting particularly that the 'military was not needed for civil duties'. The judge said that 'the law does not make provision for the military to be involved in civil activities'. He also said that 'the appellate court directly interpreted the Constitution when it held that Sections 215 and 217 jointly limit the president’s power to deploy soldiers to the suppression of insurrection and to aid the police to restore order when it has broken down'.
4. The foregoing three separate judicial pronouncements have clear support in judicial history. They are:
(i). The Court of Appeal in Yussuf v Obasanjo (2005) 18 NWLR (PT 956) 96, held that “It is up to the police to protect our nascent democracy and not the military, otherwise democracy might be wittingly or unwittingly militarized. This is not what the citizenry bargained for in wrestling power from the military in 1999. Conscious step or steps should be taken to civilianize the polity to ensure the survival and sustenance of democracy.”
(ii). On the same issue, the Supreme Court in Buhari v Obasanjo (2005) 2 NWLR (Pt. 910) 24, at 520 – 521, Nsofor, JCA, stated as follows: "There was no state of war in any of those States, no emergency declared therein. On the other hand there was peace and calm and tranquility".
5. Let it be clear that at issues in the foregoing precedents as well as Python Dance are two ...
(i). The power of the President to deploy soldiers to civil or police duties. So, if the Courts did not find, as in the foregoing precedents, that 'electoral violence' is sufficient cause to deploy soldiers to police/civil duties, it's more than likely that the justifications offered for Egwu Eke would be summarily struck down; AND ...
(ii). Should the President find cause to deploy soldiers to deploy soldiers suppress insurrection and act in aid of civil authorities to restore order, he MUST first seek the permission of the National Assembly.
On the basis of the foregoing, I predict that a flurry of lawsuits will be levied against Python Dance in the next few days.

Jonathan Is Not Contesting 2019 Election- PDP South South League
Concerned members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) from the
South-South region, under the aegis of the PDP South-South League,
yesterday, debunked rumors that the former President Goodluck Jonathan
would contest for presidential election under PDP comes 2019, warning
against any attempt to ridicule his image
by Vanguard Newspaper
Sep 11, 2017
Concerned members of the
Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) from the South-South region, under the
aegis of the PDP South-South League, yesterday, debunked rumors that the
former President Goodluck Jonathan would contest for presidential
election under PDP comes 2019, warning against any attempt to ridicule
his image.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan The group through its Chairman
Barr. Ariolu Tebidapa (Delta State) and the Secretary, Mr. Akpan Ibibio
(Akwa-Ibom state), in a statement issued in Abuja, accused some people,
who worked against the party interest during its crisis in the region,
as the brain behind the rumors.“It is obvious, that since after the supreme court judgement that laid to rest the leadership crisis that rocked the PDP, some persons within the party in the region, are still not settled due to the role they played, in spite of the fact that the party has granted amnesty to all those who worked against the interest of the party."
“These persons see the former President, Goodluck Jonathan as a threat, hence their reactions in trying to attack his personality,” the group said.
They said it was ridiculous to allege that former President Jonathan wanted to hijack the party structure in Bayelsa State for his presidential ambition in 2019, explaining that it was a known fact that the PDP had zoned its presidency to the North.
According to them, “We have read in the dailies about some persons insinuating that the former President intends hijacking the party structure in Bayelsa State, in order to actualize his presidential ambition. This, however, sounds laughable; we see it as an attempt to ridicule the former President. "
“His Excellency, former President Goodluck Jonathan is not contesting for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, even though he is well qualified constitutionally and by pedigree, he is still widely loved and accepted by Nigerians. However, the PDP has zoned its presidency to the Northern part of Nigeria. So, we wonder what these fifth columnists really want to achieve by selling falsehood."
“It is also not true that the former president is attempting to hijack the party structure in Bayelsa State. We consider this story an imagination from those who are being chased by their shadow. As the leader of the party, how can he (Jonathan) be interested in only one state, when the party is preparing for elective congresses and National convention? If at all, former President Goodluck Jonathan is interested in anything, it should rather be who leads the party at the national level to push forward his vision for Nigeria."
“Consequently, we consider all these as attempts to distract the attention of the former President, at a time when he is busy working with other party leaders and focusing his attention on how to reposition our great party and Nigeria for the challenges ahead."
“Former President Goodluck Jonathan has made the South-South region proud during his service as President, with his achievements of international reckoning and sacrifice to keep Nigeria united. We think he deserves every respect and regard."
“There is no amount of blackmail or insult by these detractors, no matter how hard they try, that can erase the achievements of former President Goodluck Jonathan.”
16 Years Later: The US Commemorates 9/11
Sixteen years ago, the world stood in horror as New York’s World Trade
Center Twin Towers came crumbling down after two hijacked planes smashed
into the buildings, killing thousands of people, making it the
deadliest terror attack ever in America
Sixteen years ago, the world
stood in horror as New York’s World Trade Center Twin Towers came
crumbling down after two hijacked planes smashed into the buildings,
killing thousands of people, making it the deadliest terror attack ever
in America.
Today, relatives of the 9/11 victim gather together at The National
September 11 Memorial Plaza to remember their loved ones. Many hold
photos of their beloved as they call out their loved ones’ names at the
anniversary to commemorate 9/11. The commemoration has now become a
custom in America.At least 1,000 members, rescuers, survivors, and officials gather at the ceremony every year. The ceremony at the World Trade Center begins with a moment of silence. As tolling bells ring, relatives read out the names of the 3,000 victims from the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the flights that were hijacked. Later on, two bright and powerful light beams where the towers once stood, shines throughout the night in New York.
Each ceremony is always different from the last but this year is solely focused on reading the names etched in the memorials dedicated to victims. Survivors and families of the victims give updates on their lives. Some have married, re-married, given birth, graduated, gotten news jobs, while for some, life hasn’t changed at all since Sept. 11, 2001.
President Donald Trump, a native New Yorker, attended the ceremony for the first time as President. “America cannot be intimidated…No force on earth can break us apart,” Mr. Trump said as a warning to Islamic extremists.
Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence attended the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Mr. Pence, who was a member of Congress at the time of the attack, felt that the Flight 93 passengers who revolted against hijackers might have saved his life.
The Capitol, where Pence was at the moment of the attack, was the possible target of the hijacked Flight 93. The plane crashed in a field near Shanksville after the passengers fought to take back control of the plane. All 33 passengers and seven crew members were killed.
The National September 11 Memorial Plaza strives to make the ceremony more about the victims and less about politics. Since 2011, politicians are no longer allowed to read victims’ names or deliver remarks. They can only attend.
Wole Soyinka Berates ‘Identity Thieves’ Who Create Social Media Accounts With His Name
The Nobel laureate dissociated himself and the Wole Soyinka Foundation
from every Facebook and Twitter account posing as him or his foundation
The Nobel laureate dissociated himself and the Wole Soyinka Foundation from every Facebook and Twitter account posing as him or his foundation.
Mr. Soyinka said this on Monday during a press conference organized to unveil the participants of an exchange program organized by the Wole Soyinka Foundation in partnership with Lebanese University.
“They created a Wole Soyinka blogspot, or whatever. There is also a Wole Soyinka Twitter. Please, press, I am begging you to note that I don't do Facebook, I don't do Twitter and I don't do blogs,” he said.
Mr. Soyinka urged the press to denounce all accounts impersonating him and the foundation.
“I implore you in the name of whatever it is you believe in to help squash them like bed bugs. They are very believable in that they get the right pictures. They went as far as getting the authentic publications and activities and they string them all over the place.
"Please note that they are fake. There is only one Wole Soyinka Foundation,” Mr. Soyinka said.
The professor of English and literary studies also sought support for the exchange program with Lebanese University. He urged corporate organizations, government bodies and individuals to support the foundation by sponsoring young Nigerians for the exchange program held annually in Lebanon.
The first edition of the study travel program sponsored five students selected across Nigerian universities to broaden their worldviews and further their education.
This year, Mr. Soyinka revealed that ten young Nigerian writers have been selected for the exchange program. He said they will depart from Nigeria for Lebanon on Tuesday, September 12.
