President Jonathan Has Directed That None Of His Aides Should Reply Obasanjo- Reuben Abati

We have noted the publication on several websites today of a letter recently written by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. The Presidency acknowledges that it has indeed received the said letter from Chief Obasanjo.
We however find it highly unbecoming, mischievous and provocative that a letter written by a former Head of State and respected elder statesman to President Jonathan  has been deliberately leaked to the mass media in a deplorable effort to impugn the integrity of the President and denigrate his commitment to giving Nigeria the best possible leadership.
While many patriotic, objective and well-meaning Nigerians have already condemned the leaked letter as self-serving, hypocritical, malicious, indecent, and very disrespectful of the highest office in the land, President Jonathan has directed that none of his aides or any government official should join issues with Chief Obasanjo over it.
The President himself will, at the appropriate time, offer a full personal response to the most reckless, baseless, unjustifiable and indecorous charges levied against him and his administration by the former Head of State.

Why i refused to have kids-Oprah Winfrey

Sacrifices come in different forms and media mogul, Oprah Winfrey who undeniably has a super-successful career chose not to have children as a personal sacrifice.
In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter an entertainment magazine, Winfrey revealed she never regretted her choice while opening up about her decision to forego having children.
    She told the magazine: ”If I had kids, my kids would hate me, They would have ended up on the equivalent of the Oprah show talking about me; because something [in my life] would have had to suffer and it would’ve probably been them.”
Winfrey admitted she never found parenting appealing adding that she always had a different dream as a little than her peers.
    “Gayle [King, Winfrey's best friend and now a mother of two] was the kind of kid who, in seventh grade Home Ec class, was writing down her name and the names of her children,” she recalled. “While she was having those kind of daydreams, I was having daydreams about how I could be Martin Luther King.”

It was reported that out of the 25 of the 26 members of the House loyal to the embattled governor, Rotimi Amaechi, had converged earlier today to sit in accordance with a high court order restraining the National Assembly from taking over the functions of the Assembly.
However, as the lawmakers tried to gain entry into the House, the police quickly arrived at the complex and sealed it off.
Premium Times reports:
    The lawmakers then decided to hold their sitting outside the complex. But the police suddenly began shooting teargas and live ammunition at the lawmakers who quickly took to their heels scampering for safety.
    It is not known yet whether anyone was injured in the incident.
    The deputy speaker of the Assembly, Leyii Kwani, who presided over the sitting could not be reached for comments. But the state Commissioner of Information, Ibim Semenitari confirmed the incident.
    She said, “It is an indication of the impunity ravaging the country and a clear indication that the PDP under the present leadership has lost all forms of democratic conduct.
    “They can’t even pretend to wear a mien of civility rather they are practising jackboot governance and repression worse than we have ever seen under the military.”
    Ms. Semenitari said she would issue a full statement on the incident later. The state police commissioner, Joseph Mbu, could not be reached for comments at this time.
