Another day, another Trump resignation: Tom Price resigns as Health Secretary for using private jets for government business trips

Image
Yesterday September 29, 2017, Tom Price resigned as Secretary of Health and Human Services following criticism of his use of private charters and military aircraft for travel. In a series of reports in September 2017, Politico reported that since May 2017, Price had expended more than $1 million of department funds for his own travel on private charter jets and military aircraft. Many of the flights were between cities that are easily accessible by train or car and have frequent, low-cost commercial airline service.   Five Democratic members of Congress requested an inspector general's investigation into Price's use of private aircraft.   Price's use of private planes was legal but was criticized by ethics experts as a misuse of taxpayer funding. Price's spokesperson justified Price's use of private jets as a reasonable precaution, given that Price was once unable to attend an important meeting because a commercial flight was cancelled;  Politico  noted

Image
Ekiti State Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose,has said the imminent defeat of President Muhammadu Buhari in a free and fair election in 2019 is the major reason the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government is harassing and intimidating his aides and associates. He also said the blunt truth he told Nigerians during his declaration of interest that Buhari and the APC had nothing good to offer Nigeria has pierced the conscience of APC leaders and given them wounded heart. He, however, said he won’t be intimidated into abandoning a divine project of rescuing the country from maladministration. Fayose, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, on Friday, said notwithstanding needless harassment, whoever thought he could stop a moving train with bare hands would have himself to blame in the end.The governor described the arrest of two officials of the state by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as the height of impunity, as a compet

Olaiya, who was a legal officer in the Ministry of Justice, had raised the alarm that the first tranche was diverted, but he was dismissed from service by the Fayose administration in February 2016.

Image
French Montana has accused his friend and fellow industry colleague, Akon, of gifting him a fake wristwatch on his birthday some years back. The Moroccan-American rapper made the accusation during an interview with DJ Funk Flex, while speaking about signing with Akon's label for six months 10 years ago. The watch story started after Flex brought it up saying “We can’t tell the watch story, don’t tell it now,” which forced French to weigh into it.“Oh, Stop!” French said, as he laughed so hard. “Shouts to Akon, he gave me a fake watch for my birthday, I’m heated,” he said, laughing again. He continued: “I’m still waiting for my other watch Akon,” French said.“Akon I need you to fix this up,” Flex added. “Keep it a buck. Listen, we gonna go on the ‘gram, we gon’ tell fake watch busters to leave you alone, they not gonna post this up. But, we gotta clear this up.” As French laughed, he continued with the story, “It was my birthday too,” he said. “He was like, ‘Close your eyes,

Single motherhood is not our fault, men no longer want to play their role as husbands" - actress Doris Simeon .

Image
Actress Doris Simeon recently had an interview with Thisday where she was asked if single motherhood is now a norm in Nollywood. According to her, women are not at fault when it comes to being single parents. According to her, it is the men who no longer want to play their roles as husbands. "Single motherhood is not peculiar to Nollywood. If you go to the banking sector, there are single mothers there; in the military, in law firms and other fields, there are single mothers. It is not our fault; it’s just that men no longer want to play their role as husbands. I am not a supporter of single parenthood: every man or woman has the right to live their life the way they choose. It’s just by God’s grace that I am acting and producing. Emotional trauma is not what I will encourage anybody to pass through. God created every woman for a man. So marriage is good". The actress revealed that she is not legally divorced from her ex-husband and father of her son, Daniel Ademi

Nicki Minaj tweeted in 2012 about beating up a bully at age 11 and the alleged bully just replied the tweet, causing an uproar on Twitter

Image
A woman who had a fight with Nicki Minaj when they were just kids is still upset after discovering Nicki Minaj tweeted about the fight five years ago. The Twitter user called Dameka Williams, only hours ago, clapped back at a tweet where Nicki was bragging about beating her up.  Nicki Tweeted in 2012: "When I was about 11 I snapped @ a slumber party n startin beatin da shit out this girl who was pickin on me! Lmao. Her name was Dameka" And Dameka replied yesterday, tweeting: "Bitch you proud of that shit? You ruined the party for everyone and i still got the scars on my leg from when you stabbed me with a fork." Lol. Truly, some people never forget. As expected, Twitter users are shocked that she replied five years later and they reacted. Some have gone as far as bugging her in her DM and sending her pictures of fork, so she had to caution them to stop already. She also addressed those who say it's petty for her to still be on that issue ye
