That’s what life is about. I don’t know what life would be like if you always felt like you weren’t yourself.”

US Daily Beast comes for Tinubu in new article, calls him 'Heroin Kingpin'

iamwizdom 7:25 pm

US Daily Beast profiled APC leader Bola Tinubu in an article titled 'Nigeria's Next Leader's Ties to a Heroin Ring' where they described Tinubu as a 'heroin kingpin'. Tinubu will not like this. Read below
General Muhammed Buhari’s political partner is a former bagman for two heroin traffickers. But that’s just business as usual in Nigeria. Nigeria’s election last month was celebrated as an unlikely victory for democracy in an African country with a tenuous record of free and fair representation. But the man most responsible for midwifing General Muhammed Buhari’s ballot triumph over current President Jonathan has a spotty CV.
Former Lagos provincial governor Bola Tinubu, affectionately nicknamed the Jagaban, is today seen as a shrewd if not “deeply Machiavellian” Svengali in Nigeria’s politics as well as the architect of a hugely successful anti-corruption platform. But 20 years ago he had to forfeit nearly half a million dollars to the U.S. Treasury Department after being named as an accomplice in a white heroin-trafficking and money-laundering ring that stretched from West Africa to the U.S. Midwest.

Gen Buhari signifies interest to probe alleged missing $20bn NNPC money

iamwizdom 2:49 am

President-elect Gen. Buhari has signified interest to probe the alleged missing $20 billion from the coffers of the NNPC. Speaking with APC members from Adamawa state at the APC National headquarters in Abuja today April 26th, Gen Buhari queried the dismissal of Former CBN governor now Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi II who raised alarm over the missing money.
"I heard that some people have started returning money; I will not believe it until I go and see for myself. Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the Emir of Kano raised an issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion. What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about" he said in Hausa

Lil Wayne's tour bus shot at in Atlanta

iamwizdom 12:15 am

According to a MediaTakeOut exclusive report, rapper Lil Wayne's tour bus was shot up last night in Atlanta and fingers are pointing at Lil Wayne's label mate, rapper Young Thug. Read the report below
"The Hip Hop beef between rapper Young Thug and Lil Wayne, may have looked innocent - but last night it reportedly took a deadly tunr.
According to multiple source connected with MediaTakeOut.com, Lil Wayne's tour bus was shot up last night, while he was in Atlanta. And the streets say that it was Yound Thugs Goons that were doing the Poppin.
According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's peeps associated with THUG, "Thug is very peaceful, Non violent, and he respects Wayne. But the trap n*ggas around him are different. They feel that Wayne's a f*ck boy." Much of the HARSH feelings about Wayne, stem from Wayne's LAWSUIT against his former father figure, Cash Money founder Birdman.

So here's how it all POPPED OFF. Lil Wayne performed last night at COMPOUND NIGHTCLUB in Atlanta and he had the place TURN'T. It was all cool . . . until a few TRAP DUDES associated with Young Thug approached Weezy in VIP. Weezy's security BLOCKED the goons from entering but the group of men ALLEGEDLY threatened LIl Wayne, saying,"THUG SENT THEM WITH THE STICKS" to settle any beef with Lil Wayne.

Shortly after the confrontation, Lil Wayne and his entourage LEFT THE CLUB - in a tourbus and a fleet of SUVs. The bus was later SHOT AT more than a DOZEN TIMES, by unknown assassins. The shots occurred OUTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY of Compound Nightclub - so the club is 100% NOT AT FAULT here.

Here's Wayne performing TRUFFLE BUTTER minutes before the BULLETS STARTED FLYING.

GEJ is a good man! Sues Senate, House of Reps over Constitution Amendments

iamwizdom 11:44 pm

President Jonathan is a good man. He's just a month away from leaving as president of Nigeria and he could have signed this constitutional amendment bill that doesn't particularly concern him anymore but he refused to. For those who don't know what's going on, let me break it down to the best of my ability. Lol. So, the Nigerian Senate is trying to amend the 1999 constitution to the effect that it will whittle down some executive powers of the President and give more power to the legislature and judiciary.

Jay, who wasn't playing, was approached by the female fan. And after chatting for a few minutes, Jay, who has a girlfriend, took the lady to the manager dugout, pulled down his pants and started having sex with her. Another fan caught the action on a cell phone.

When the video went viral on social media, He was fired by his club. Club chairwoman Anne Barker told the media; “Jay Hart has been dismissed from the club. I can't have somebody wearing the Clitheroe FC tracksuit bringing us down. It has brought the club into disrepute and it's not proper for him to scupper our reputation. I expect our players to act professionally. We expect a certain level of behaviour and discipline. And that wasn’t it.". Read Jay's apology after the cut...
