LAMAR ODOM

DID NOT DISINHERIT KHLOE KARDASHIAN

According to TMZ Khloé Kardashian is at Lamar Odom's bedside because she cares about him, and we've learned Lamar has not let divorce get in the way of his feelings, because she stands to inherit a big chunk of his fortune. 

As we reported, Khloe and Lamar had a prenup, separating her money from his. Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell us Lamar does not have a will. Under the laws of California, if he were to die, Khloe would be entitled to 1/3 of Lamar's personal fortune. His kids would get the remaining 2/3.

There's no fighting it ... the law is the law. We're told Khloe doesn't care about his money or want it, but the fact is, she's still his wife and she gets 1/3.

Our sources also say Lamar has several life insurance trusts, making both Khloe and his kids beneficiaries.

By the way, some prenups provide that each spouse is disinherited from the other, but we're told that isn't the case with Khloe and Lamar.

The good news ... this may not become an issue, because Lamar is doing better.  As we reported, his heart is functioning better and he's periodically breathing off the ventilator.

Presidential Poll: How Orubebe Plotted to Abduct Jega

A report by the Reuters news agency has unravelled an alleged plot by some persons close to President Goodluck Jonathan to abduct the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral  commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Tuesday, March 31, to stop him from announcing the results of the presidential election and declaring Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as the winner of the poll.

According to Reuters, central to the plan were Jega's security detail and Godsday Orubebe, a former Minister of the Niger Delta Ministry.
Orubebe's role was to cause a disturbance at the collation centre as cover for the abduction of Jega.

Quoting pro-democracy advocates and an Abuja-based diplomat, the report said as Buhari closed in on Nigeria’s presidency, an aide to Jega sent a text message to an independent voting monitor, warning of an imminent threat to the electoral process.

The aide had unearthed a plot by supporters of Jonathan to disrupt the public announcement of the national election results and kidnap Jega in a bid to wreck the count.

Central to the plan, they said, were Jega's security detail and Orubebe, a former cabinet minister from Jonathan's Niger Delta, an area whose leaders feared a change of power would mean an end to the perks it enjoyed under Jonathan’s presidency.

Orubebe's role was to cause a disturbance at the headquarters of the commission as cover for the abduction of Jega.
Efforts by THISDAY to reach Orubebe to comment on the allegation hit a brick wall yesterday. After repeated phone calls and SMS, he responded by SMS, saying he was in a meeting.

INEC also declined to comment and turned down requests for an interview with Jega, whom Reuters was unable to reach independently.
However, Reuters found no evidence to suggest that Jonathan, who conceded defeat in the election, was involved. His spokesman and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), did not respond to requests for comment.

While the plot would likely not have changed the result, it could have unleashed fury among Buhari supporters in the north, where over 800 people were killed in rioting after his last election defeat in 2011.

But the plot’s failure enabled Nigeria to complete one of its few credible vote since independence in 1960.
According to Reuters, the plot to derail the election in its closing moments was pieced together from the text message, events on the ground and interviews with democracy advocates and diplomats in Abuja.

When he sent the SMS, the election official, whom the sources declined to name for his own protection, hoped the outside world would hear of the plot, the text of the message made clear.

“Fellow countrymen, Nigeria on Trial,” read the SMS sent on the morning of March 31 to Clement Nwankwo, head of the Situation Room, an Abuja-based coalition of human rights groups and democracy advocates, monitoring the polls.

“Plans are on storm (sic) the podium at the ICC Collation Centre and disrupt the process,” it continued, the official dropping words and letters in his haste.

“Nobody is sue [sic] what will happen. Please share this as widely as possible.”
At that moment, Jega was about to preside over the announcement of results, having announced results from 18 states including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) the day before, which had given Buhari an early lead.

As tallies from around the country showed Buhari on course for a win, unidentified PDP hard-liners started to panic, seeking ways of manipulating the count, Nwankwo and the diplomat said, citing political contacts in the Delta and Abuja.

Realising they could not engineer an outright win, PDP agents set about doctoring the tally at collation centres in pro-Jonathan areas to ensure Buhari failed to meet a requirement for 25 per cent in two thirds of the states, Nwankwo said, citing reports from election monitors on the ground.

A Reuters reporter witnessed and photographed one tally list in Port Harcourt with suspiciously similar totals for registered voters at polling stations: 500, 500, 500, 500, 500, 500, 500, 500, 450.
In another tally centre in the city, 17,594 valid votes were recorded out of a registered voter population of 11,757, the Reuters reporter said.

Foreign election observers also noted the peculiarities - and contacted diplomats in Abuja who called in international intervention.
US Secretary of State John Kerry and his British counterpart Philip Hammond - in Switzerland for talks on Iran - issued a tough statement saying vote counting “may be subject to deliberate political interference”.

But as Buhari's lead grew, some PDP supporters from the Delta, including Orubebe, decided on a final gamble: to create a disturbance in the collation hall and have thugs snatch Jega from the stage, according to Nwankwo and the Abuja-based diplomat.

What the group planned to do after the abduction is unclear, the diplomat and Nwankwo said, but the confusion could have triggered nationwide violence.

“It was a desperate thing, mostly by a group of people from the Niger Delta who were in the room,” Nwankwo said, describing events that unfolded publicly in the minutes after he received the SMS.

When Jega opened proceedings on the morning of March 31, Orubebe grabbed a microphone and launched into an 11-minute tirade accusing Jega of bias.

“Mr. Chairman, we have lost confidence in you,” he shouted, pushing away officials trying to make him surrender the microphone. “You are being very, very selective. You are partial,” he continued, surrounded by three or four supporters. “You are tribalistic. We cannot take it.”

Nigerians watched, aghast, on live television.
Meanwhile, Jega's security detail was approached by unidentified individuals telling them to stand down, according to Nwankwo and the diplomat. But the bodyguards refused.

“Some of the guards who had been guarding Jega for years demanded a written order,” Nwankwo said. “But it didn’t exist.”

Jega then rebuked Orubebe: “Let us not disrupt a process that has ended peacefully,” he said as Orubebe slumped in his chair.
“Mr. Orubebe, you are a former minister of the Federal Republic. You are a statesman in your own right. You should be careful about what you say or about what allegations you make,” he said.

Later, Orubebe congratulated Buhari on Twitter, expressing his “apologies to fellow Nigerians”.

This untold true love story of Peter Okoye & Lola Omotayo will make you shed a tear(Must Read)

love story of Peter Okoye & Lola Omotayo

I was reading Genevieve magazine December edition with Peter and Lola on the cover and I just couldn’t resist sharing this part of their amazing story with you guys..Had to type it out….It will help you understand better why Peter places Lola above all….It’s pure love from Lola

“After we had scaled the hurdle and became friends, I kept preventing her from coming to my house because everyone called her boss.From her wristwatch and everything, I would be like.”CHEI! This person no be my level”
One day, I took ill and I guess she tried to reach me but I wasn’t picking up. She then called brother who told her I was ill. To my horror she then came over to my house. To be honest with you, I was so ashamed that after she left, I wanted to know who invited her to my house”That person don buy my trouble”.

More below

I remember living in a small room which my brother and I shared.Our bed was a mattresson the floor. The wardrobe had clothes overflowing to the floor and the room was littered with unwashed plates and half drunk pure water nylons. I was lying down as a broken fan did its best to circulate the air and she walked in and said hello.

 I felt as if I was dreaming. The picture of five boys sharing a two-room apartment was definitely an eye sore. I didn’t know where to look when she came in.She just tip-toed to where I was and looked at the environment then called her driver and asked him to come into the compound.

“She picked two shirts and asked me where I kept my underwear.I didn’t want her to go there so I told her they were washed and drying outside .She helped me get into her car and took me to her house. I remember sleeping in her arms as we drove through thick traffic. Although I wasn’t really ill by this time, I pretended  to be very ill especially as I saw the layout of pounded yam and Egusi with goat meat,
Food over, she gave me some medication and I stayed at her place for three days and kept pretending to be ill because I din’t know how to go back to my house.
Infact it was the first time in my life I was sleeping in a room with an airconditioner”

Now tell me this love story didn’t being tears to your eyes…

Buhari Fights Against Pension For Ex-governors

According to Vanguard, Buhari intends to demonstrate moral leadership from top to bottom by repealing the pension laws passed by majority of the nation’s 36 state Houses of Assembly which confer huge pension entitlements for governors and their deputies.

The pension entitlements in many cases provide 100 per cent pay for the incumbent governors buildings, generous medical allowances for them and their family members and annual holiday provisions, all of which are to last for life. Provisions in the pension allowances are also made for staff, security and vehicles that are renewable every three or four years.

According to a source, Buhari was said to have described the pension laws enacted by states controlled by APC and PDP governors as scandalous.

The source said: “he was very blunt about it and said that it was something that was going to be done immediately, especially because it is not something that can be sustained.

“The feeling was that not only was it wrong and morally unconscionable, but that it was not something that should be encouraged, and he was appealing to them that it should be changed.”

States of the federation that are reported to have passed the pension laws include: Lagos, Edo, Gombe, Oyo, and Rivers states. These laws confer on several former governors huge benefits which in some cases are 100 per cent of what the incumbent is earning, while in others, some benefits in the pension laws are as high as 300 per cent of what obtains in some states.

Buhari who made the fight against corruption the theme of his campaign has promised to tackle corruption head on when he assumes the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on may 29.

Breaking news: Fayose won at the supreme court today. He is still the ekiti state Govenor

ABUJA – The Supreme Court has upheld the judgements of both the Ekiti State Governorship Tribunal and the Court of Appeal which had earlier affirmed Governor Ayodele Fayose’s victory. The apex court, ‎also said that Fayose was not validly impeached in 2006.

In an unanimous judgement, Tuesday, a seven-man panel of Justices of the court led by Justice John Fabiyi,also held that the appeal which challenged Fayose’s election victory at the 2014 Ekiti State governorship election lacked  merit.

The panel maintained that the APC failed to prove its allegation that the election was fraught with unparalleled irregularities, adding that the allegation that Fayose tendered forged Higher National Diploma Certificate ‎to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was not proved beyond every reasonable doubt.

File: Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti taking Oath of Office before Chief Judge of Ekiti, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, at the inauguration in Ado-Ekiti On Thursday with them is Mrs Feyisetan Fayose.

At least he can start parking his things back into the state house!!   LOL!!!!!! 

Nigeria To Be Among World's Largest Economies by 2030

Nigeria will be the only African country that would be among the top 20 economies in the world by 2030, the United States of America Department of Agriculture has listed.

The department in its latest macro-economic projections for 2030, indicates that the U.S. would continue to lead the world economies with a GDP of about $24.8 trillion and expected to be closely followed by China with about $22.2 trillion, Daily Independent reports.

India was placed in the third position based on their projections with $6.6 trillion. Nigeria meanwhile was placed second from bottom at $1 trillion and the only African country in the list.

Nigeria overtook South Africa in 2013 as largest economy in Africa after it concluded its GDP rebasing.

PriceWaterhouseCoopers had earlier, based on forecast, named Nigeria would be the fastest growing economy on earth by 2050.

“Though we remain wary of oracles and fortune-tellers, a new report by PriceWaterhouseCoopers highlights some of the profound global economic shifts we at Quartz believe are well underway,” it said.

The sages at PwC forecast that between now and 2050 that the fastest growing economy would be Nigeria, followed by Vietnam, India, and Indonesia.

They said Chinese growth would slow down due to a rapidly aging population and rising labour costs.

In a similar vein, ratings agency Moody’s also published a report on Nigeria’s rebased GDP of $510 billion, which it estimated would surge to $4.5 trillion by 2050.

Moody’s said that the rebasing exercise was supportive of assessing the nation’s sovereign credit profile, although it does not change the government’s nominal stock of outstanding debt, nor its revenue generation capacity to service that debt.

“With a population of 170 million and oil reserves estimated at around 37.2 trillion barrels (or roughly 28 per cent of total African reserves), Nigeria is likely to number among the world’s 15 largest economies by 2050 when GDP is projected to exceed $4.5 trillion in purchasing power parity terms,” said Aurelien Mali, VP-Senior Analyst, Moody’s.

“From a credit standpoint, the revised GDP estimates allow a better understanding of the Nigerian economy and its underlying resilience.”

The rebasing of Nigeria’s GDP follows similar rebasing exercises by more than a dozen other African countries over the past decade, resulting in a range of revisions of national output.

Moody’s notes that in Nigeria’s case, the GDP revision is more spectacular as it means the country has now overtaken South Africa to become the largest economy in Africa, with its ranking among global economies jumping from 36th to 28th, with an economy almost as large as that of the Netherlands.

President-elect, General Buhari has been urged to save foreign reserves from falling if he is to save the failing economy which has been in crises since the turn of the year.

Meanwhile, at the beginning of April, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN announced that the foreign exchange reserves fell by 4.9 per cent to $29.79bn on March 30, from $31.35bn in February.
