PRESIDENT GOODLUCK SAYS NO TO OFFICIAL DELEGATIONS TO THE LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS - You wanna go? Buy your tickets!

In an apparent departure from past wasteful spendings, President Goodluck Jonathan has banned official delegation to the 2012 Olympics in London.

Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, disclosed this on Wednesday at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan today.

Bolaji said: 

"This is to ensure that we have value for what are doing. Any governor or top government officials outside of the participating teams seen at the London Olympics will certainly not have travelled on federal government ticket.

“What I can assure you for a start is that there is not going to be any official Nigerian delegation to this Olympic. So this is the first time in a long while that I know that you will not have an official Nigerian delegation to the Olympics, a global event like this. 

"I want to also add that it is not always the case that there is anything wrong in officials being more than the athletes, for example you have only one boxer, that boxer must have a physiotherapist, a doctor, a coach, and even a psychologist in some cases.

" If you look at the American contingent, it is almost  like the contingents of many of the countries put together. What we are doing is that we are taking all reasonable measures to ensure that every single person that is going to the Olympics have a business in the Olympics. Of course Olympics is a public event and if you find a state governor in London, it doesn't mean that we are sponsoring him to be there, so he has the wherewithal to go by himself to go and watch  the Olympics. 

"But what I can assure you is that there is no official Nigerian delegation to the Olympics and that itself is a major one in ensuring that we have value for what we are doing," the minister concluded.

By the way, Nigeria at the African Athletics Championships recorded impressive results and set three new African records. Courtesy, Abdullahi's briefing of the FEC. 

OPRAH WINFREY's STEPMOM ACCUSE HER OF BEING BEHIND HER DIVORCE FROM OPRAH'S DAD

Oprah Winfrey and dad Vernon Winfrey

Babara Winfrey, Oprah Winfrey's stepmom claims Oprah has used her fortune to take control of the family's barber shop Vernon Winfrey( Oprah's dad) has run for more than 50 years.

So now that 78-year-old Vernon has filed for divorce based on the ownership of the barbershop threatens to tear apart the Winfrey family apart.

Oprah paid $475,000 for the store in Nashville, Tennessee, when it was up for auction last week. the store had earlier gone into foreclosure.

Barbara Winfrey said the purchase means that Oprah, has gained control of the business and cut her out.

‘I know what is going on. I'm tired of it, and I've had enough,’ Barbara Winfrey told WSMV TV in Nashville.

‘People are giving him wrong advice, and it's leaving me in a situation where all I can do is fight for me.’

‘There is no reason for it to go into foreclosure like this. The property is upside down, which is what a lot of properties are. It cost us $481,000 to build this building, but it's only worth $350,000.’

On Oprah controlling her husband, she said:

‘He believes what he's told. His daughter doesn't care about the community. His daughter doesn't care about the barbershop. But I do.’

Barbara and her 78-year-old husband opened the barber shop a year ago to replace a store at a nearby location.

But the couple apparently fell behind on their mortgage payments and the red brick building went into foreclosure.

Barbara said she wanted to borrow more money from a bank but that on advice from his famous daughter Vernon refused to take out a loan.

Oprah's dad, Vernon said: 

‘My wife and I, we have not been getting along well, and I did not want to endow myself to another drawn-out, struggling debt.’

At the opening of the new barber shop Vernon said the premises would be his legacy to the community.

‘When I'm gone, I'm glad I'll be able to say I left the neighborhood looking nice,’ Winfrey said.

He said his daughter had urged him to give up cutting hair, but he planned to continue.

‘Some folks say, “Winfrey, you're kind of old to be doing it.” I say, “You're right, but I feel good,”’ he said.

Vernon said his famous daughter wanted him to retire.

In response to the accusations Oprah's spokesperson said: 

‘Oprah purchased the property that was in foreclosure.

‘Vernon Winfrey has been a fixture in the community for decades and will continue to manage the business on a day-to-day basis.’

Barbara said that her husband has since filed for divorce and believes he does not understand the decisions he is making.

PASTOR KRIS OKOTIE'S WIFE OPENS UP!!! "...Liars wrecked my marriage!"

Chris Okotie's wife, Stephanie, has opened up, she tells the story of their collapsed marriage in soulful posts on her Facebook page.

Writing on her Facebook account (Stephanie Adie Henshaw), which appeared to have been opened a few days after the separation, she indicated that the separation was not her initiative.

In her words:

“Today makes it three weeks I was asked for a separation and a week and four days I packed out. Romans 8:28: ‘All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. I am as shocked as most people are, as there has not been an argument in my home. In over a year we have been as happy as everybody thought we were. I wait because I know in time God will make known what has gone wrong.”

In other postings, Henshaw, who has gone back to her maiden name, disclosed that she had known her ex husband for almost two decades.

“Twenty years I have known a man, 15 years we have been the closest friends. I prepared all his meals for 10 years, including the four years we were married. The day I was asked to leave I prepared his meal, served it and I left. For the four years he never fell ill but today I am called all sorts of names -’ ‘witch’, and ‘mermaid spirit.’ I have served Jesus with clean hands and a clean heart. I have loved all that have come my way and if I do not live through this pain and hurt as sure as Jesus lives my children will see my vindication.”

Speaking through various other posts, an obviously aggrieved Henshaw, also gave hints that she was implicated and falsely accused by ‘certain church members’.

“Lies, not from the world but the church; accusations not from the world, but the church. Where are the spirit filled Christians, the ones who fear and hear the Lord. My husband loves and adores me; he is not the one saying these things, the enemies from within who hate me. They hate the grace God showed me. They hate the mercy God has had on me. So, they come up with all kinds of lies. My going can bring one Mrs. Okotie, but what happens to the rest of you? You bring shame to the body of Christ out of your jealousy and selfish desire and in the process expose your pastor. The work he has to do cost Jesus his life, don’t joke with it. Our friendship is not based on marriage. You manipulate things at the expense of God’s work and name. It is not about me. It has never been: it is about the will of God.’’

In another post, Henshaw, who hails from Cross River State, prays for a vindication.

She cries, “Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wing until the danger passes by. Vindicate me, Lord. All things are open before you, righteous judge. I remain still, speak on my behalf. I submitted to the end. I did all I was asked to do, Lord. I left that home blameless before you. I have loved but have not been loved. I have given and not received; but that is contrary to your word, Lord. So, today I ask your word be made manifest in my life.”

Our prayer is still that God's will, will eventually prevail irrespective of it all.

RIHANNA'S DAD OK'S CHRIS BROWN AND RIRI'S REUNION!!!

In what appears to be a change of heart, rihanna's dad has given his nod to a Chris Brown - Rihanna reunion. in his words, Fenty told Britain's Grazia magazine, 

"Chris has matured a lot. I think everybody has to put the past behind them. And they seem to have done that.

"Being a couple is all up to her. Every decision is her decision. I just wish her the best. I hope things will work out. Everyone is entitled to make a mistake. Her fans are hoping it will happen. They see them as a perfect couple."

Rihanna's currently travellled back to barbados to comfort her Mom over the loss of her grand mom. All rihanna concerts remain - no cancellation of any events whatsoever.

AVB PERFORMS 1ST TASK AS TOTTENHAM BOSS - SIGNS

Andre Villas-Boas has been named  Tottenham Hotspur's new manager, the Premier League club said today.

Villas-Boas, who was sacked by Chelsea (March 2012) after less than a season in charge, replaces Harry Redknapp who was dismissed by Spurs last month after four years at White Hart Lane.


He will be tasked with creating a younger team as well as qualify for the Champions League.

The 34-year-old Portuguese who is highly regarded by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who shelved plans to speak to any other manager.

£8 million (S$15.8 million) deal has been agreed with Hoffenheim for the attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, while the transfer of defender Jan Vertonghen for £9.5 million should also go through once the Belgium international settles his dispute with Ajax over the percentage of the fee he is due...though, Spurs are also hoping to sign exciting Brazilian playmaker Oscar from Internacional but competition from several of Europe's leading clubs might not let the deal see light.

ACADEMY AWARD WINNING RAPPER SHOT!!!

PASTOR KRIS OKOTIE's CRASHED SECOND MARRIAGE - THE GENESIS!!!

That Pastor Kris Okotie's second marriage to Mother of three Stephanie Henshaw has crashed is no longer news...but trying to look at the genesis of the break-up is worth mentioning at the moment.

Pastor Okotie had announced the disollution of his second marriage with the following words:

“Stephanie and I are no longer married. We have separated. You can see she’s not in church today. It’s due to irreconcilable differences and you should please respect our wishes at this time because there is no going back.”

Prior to the marriage in 2008 a few top church members had kicked against the marriage. Pastor Okotie too had alleged that these so called elements gathered together to pray against the union, prophesied that the union was not ordained by God and some even went to the extent of embarassing Stephanie at a Salon concerning her proposed wedding to the Pastor. These Church members who Pastor Okotie called the "Three Musketeers" were sent packing when they refused to chanje their minds about the the marriage.

Who the "Three Musketeers" are? It is believed the initials of one of them who is a known society figure is S.A.

With the disollution of the marriage just three years after, have the "Three Musketeers" been villified?
Or is this just a clear case of coincidence?

Whatever your answer is, we pray for God's eventual will to come to pass in all the lives of all involved.
