President Goodluck Jonathan Drags Obasanjo To Rights Commission Over Criminal Allegations
President Jonathan Goodluck yesterday submitted himself to the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, for probe over criminal allegations against him by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Former President Obasanjo had written an 18-page open letter to Jonathan, accusing him of incompetence, engaging in anti-party activities, ethnicism and training about 1,000 snipers ahead of the 2015 polls.
Jonathan, who denied the allegations in his response, is specifically inviting the rights commission to unravel the truth in the allegation that his government had begun training over 1,000 snipers to terminate his political opponents.
In a letter to the commission, President Jonathan is seeking for a thorough investigation of the allegations against him, touching on alleged human rights abuses.

Read President Goodluck Jonathan’s Response To Olusegun Obasanjo's Letter
Earlier this month, the former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo sent an 18-page letter to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, accusing him of destroying Nigeria.
GEJ through his special adviser Reuben Abati sent out his open response. It is a long read but worth it.
December 20th 2013
His Excellency,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR
Agbe L’Oba House, Quarry Road,
Ibara, Abeokuta.
RE: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
I wish to formally acknowledge your letter dated December 2, 2013 and other previous correspondence similar to it.
You will recall that all the letters were brought to me by hand. Although both of us discussed some of the issues in those letters, I had not, before now, seen the need for any formal reply since, to me, they contained advice from a former President to a serving President. Obviously, you felt differently because in your last letter, you complained about my not acknowledging or replying your previous letters.
It is with the greatest possible reluctance that I now write this reply. I am most uneasy about embarking on this unprecedented and unconventional form of open communication between me and a former leader of our country because I know that there are more acceptable and dignified means of doing so.
But I feel obliged to reply your letter for a number of reasons: one, you formally requested for a reply and not sending you one will be interpreted as ignoring a former President.
Secondly, Nigerians know the role you have played in my political life and given the unfortunate tone of your letter, clearly, the grapes have gone sour. Therefore, my side of the story also needs to be told. Continue...

The proverbial “Hen has come home to roost” for former president,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as a scathing 11-page open letter written to him
by his daughter and former Senator, Dr. Iyabo Obasanjo, in response to
his own missive to President Goodluck Jonathan has found its way to the
public domain.
The former president’s daughter vowed never to have anything to do with him for life, describing him as a liar, manipulator, renowned wife-beater, two-faced hypocrite determined to impose on President Jonathan what he would not have tolerated from anybody as president.
Senator Obasanjo in the letter further highlighted her father’s sins which include initiating the infamous ‘Third Term Agenda’, foisting an apparently ill President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua on Nigeria for selfish political interests, abandoning his first wife and her children as well as his other numerous children and grand-children and having an egoistic craving for power and living a life where according to her, “only men of low esteem and intellect thrive”.

MY STORY: How My Twin Sister Stole My Fiance And Now She Is Getting Married To Him
Maryjane and Annette are twins. Annette’s love relationship
blossomed and George, her fiancé, decided introducing her to his
parents. Maryjane also joined them on the visit….
The twins’ stay with George’s people was short-lived. Annette was surprised when George announced that they had to leave on the morning of the fourth day. When pressed by Annette, he told her that he had some urgent errands to run for one of his lecturers in Lagos.
Maryjane on the other hand, said nothing when Annette complained of the sudden decision to cut short their stay. “I have never known him to be an impulsive person,” she told Maryjane. But her sister kept quiet.
“What is the problem with you Maryjane? You have been quiet since morning. Are you the one who suggested to George that we should leave?’’
“No, I could not have suggested that to him. I am not his beloved girlfriend,” she replied.
The three took the flight by noon to Port Harcourt. The twins went to their mother, who was very pleased to see them. “You are welcome George. Finally, we meet and you are much more handsome than my daughter described you,” their mother said.

country.
I am particularly touched by those you see – our dear brothers, the delegation from the United States, headed by the wife of President George Bush and my friend, our mediator, who has been with us so long and brought us to this day. We pay homage to all of you. We respect you.
We welcome you. Bien vene a tous. My dear Brothers and Sisters of West Africa: You have died for us; you have given refuge to thousands of our citizens; you have denied yourselves by utilising your scarce resources to assist us; you have agonised for us, and you have prayed for us. We thank you, and may God bless you for your support to Liberia as well as for your continuing commitment to promote peace, security, stability, and bilateral cooperation within our sub-region – and beyond.”

Oprah Winfrey Opens Up On Why She Never Had Children
Oprah Winfrey reveals why
she doesn't have kids in the latest issue of the Hollywood Reporter. However, it has nothing to do with being unable to conceive as some claimed but her ambition to be a powerful woman
"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. 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.While she was having those kind of daydreams, I was having daydreams about how I could be Martin Luther King."

Why Jonathan Didn’t Speak At Mandela’s Memorial Service - Presidency
The Presidency last night rose in defence of President Goodluck Jonathan for not speaking at the memorial service in honour of the former South African leader, Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
The President had come under serious condemnation by critics in the social media, who wondered why he went to Johannesburg in the first place without rendering an oration in honour of Madiba as other world leaders did.
But Presidential Spokesman, Dr Reuben Abating, dismissed the attacks on the President as a classic case of much ado about nothing, as Jonathan was not billed to speak at the ceremony in the first place.
According to Abati, only six out of the 100 world leaders at the event, were slated to speak and Jonathan was not one of those chosen to render any speech.
“The late Madiba’s burial is not a United Nations Debating session. It is what it is a burial: a solemn, national ceremony,” Abati said. Continue...

Uruguay Set To Legalize Marijuana Trade In The Country
Uruguay in South America is set to become the first country in
the world to allow its citizens to grow, sell, buy and smoke marijuana.
The country's Senate began its final debate on the issue today Tuesday
Dec. 10th and claim they want to legalize it in a bid to take the
business from criminals.
If this bill, which has the support of majority of the House and the president of the country, is passed, Uruguay will be the first country to legalize a trade that is illegal everywhere else in the world.
After the trade is made legal, Uruguay will then draft regulations imposing state control over the cultivation and distribution of marijuana. Anyone who wants to go into the business would have to be licensed and registered, with government monitors keeping tabs to enforce limits, such as the 40 grams a month that any adult will be able to buy at pharmacies for any reason.

According to MSNBC,
John McCain knows about friendly contact with dictators.
That’s the best explanation for the Arizona senator’s attack on President Obama Tuesday for shaking hands with Cuban President Raul Castro at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service in South Africa.
“It just gives Raul some propaganda to continue to prop up his dictatorial brutal regime,” McCain told Public Radio International. And then the money quote: “Neville Chamberlain shook hands with Hitler.”
