‘Buhari treating GEJ’s men like prisoners of war’ - Olisa Metuh


While addressing PDP stakeholders in Lokoja, Kogi state, today, PDP spokesperson Olisa Metuh said Buhari is treating people who worked under GEJ in the last administration like prisoners of war.
We condemn the uncivilised method of arrest, intimidation and the denial of the fundamental human rights of members of our party who served in the last administration by the Buhari led administration. We're being treated as if we are prisoners of war. We're being treated like refugees. But we are not afraid, we have faith in our strength & unity; faith in the peace, unity & progress of Nigeria. We're not afraid of the intimidation, harassment and arrest of our members by the administration of President Buhari.” he said

50 Cent claims his lifestyle is all fake, that his cars are rented and jewelry borrowed


50 Cent is not really broke but he's claiming that he is. If he says it too much, we will start believing him. During his court appearance today to defend his bankruptcy claim, 50 Cent said his flashy lifestyle is all fake. That his cars are all rented and his jewelry is borrowed. He said the Bentleys, Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces he flashes in music videos are not his.
“Those cars were rented. It’s like music videos, they say action and you see all these fancy cars but everything goes back to the dealership." he said under oath in a Manhattan Supreme court
As for the bling and Rolexes,  he said “I borrowed from the jeweler”. He claimed he owns just 3 gold chains to his name, which he occasionally asks his jeweler to melt down and recreate a new gold piece. Who believes him? Looks to me like he's saying all this to avoid paying Rick Ross baby mama

"I cannot be against it because as I told you our main objective as a government is to rescue those girls back to their schools and rehabilitate them back to normal sight. If we are convinced that the leadership that presented itself can deliver those girls safe and should, we will be prepared to negotiate what they want"he said
