This for y’all that think that I don’t write enough. They’re just mad because I got the Midas Touch. You love her then you gotta get a world tour. Is that a world tour or your girls tour. I know that you gotta be a thug for her. This ain’t what she means when she told you to open up more. Trigger fingers turn to twitter fingers. You getting bodied by a singing nigga. I’m not the type of nigga that will type to niggas. And shout to all my boss b*tches that are wifing niggas. Make sure you hit him with a prenup. Then tell that man to ease up I did another one, I did another one. You still ain’t did sh*t about the other one. Got the drink in me . . . going back to back" Listen to it after the cut...

JAMB Has Been Overruled by FG on New Admission Policy
The Federal Government has overruled the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on its new controversial admission policy that recently sparked off protests among students in the country.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, MacJohn Nwaobiala, told State House correspondents of the federal government's directive on Tuesday, after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari of his ministry’s activities and challenges at the Presidential Villa.
JAMB had, at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting, adopted a policy whereby candidates of universities with surplus applicants for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations are reassigned to other universities with lower number of applicants than their capacities.
Protest started at UNILAG when the institution’s authorities announced that only candidates whose names were officially forwarded by JAMB are eligible to participate in this year’s UNILAG Post-UTME.
Mr Nwaobiala said the decision was jointly taken at a stakeholders’ meeting that had parents and others.
He said because of the dust raised by the development, the Federal Government had commenced consultation with the aim of identifying where adjustments could be made.
Students that made the cut-off marks have been directed to go and write post-UME examinations in their schools of first choice since that was the bone of contention.

An American Dentist paid $50,000 to kill Zimbabwe’s famous Lion
Cecil the lion, a famous black-maned resident of Zimbabwe’s Hwange
National Park, died at the hands of an American dentist,
conservationists report.
They say Walter Palmer paid $50,000 to hunt and kill Cecil with a bow and arrow. The incident occurred around July 6, with a professional hunting outfit reportedly luring Cecil outside the boundaries of the protected reserve using a dead animal as bait.
“ZPHGA reiterates it will not tolerate any illegal hunting or any unethical practices by any of its members and their staff,” the organization said in a statement. “We will await the completion of the current investigation by Zimbabwe Parks Wildlife Management Authority before commenting any further.”
They say Walter Palmer paid $50,000 to hunt and kill Cecil with a bow and arrow. The incident occurred around July 6, with a professional hunting outfit reportedly luring Cecil outside the boundaries of the protected reserve using a dead animal as bait.
“Mr. Palmer shot Cecil with a bow and arrow but this shot didn't kill him,” Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, said in a statement. “They tracked him down and found him 40 hours later when they shot him with a gun. Cecil, who was known all over the world would have earned millions of dollars just from sightseeing. Walter Palmer apparently paid $50,000 for the kill."It wasn’t the first kill for Palmer, who has multiple photos posted on the website Trophy Hunt America showing the Minnesota resident posing with dead lions, rhinos, water buffalo, warthogs, and other animals.
“As far as I understand, Walter believes that he might have shot that lion that has been referred to as Cecil,” the spokesperson said. “What he’ll tell you is that he had the proper legal permits and he had hired several professional guides, so he’s not denying that he may be the person who shot this lion. He is a big-game hunter; he hunts the world over.”Theo Bronkhorst, the professional hunter who led Palmer to Cecil, has reportedly been suspended indefinitely from the Zimbabwe Professional Hunters and Guides Association for the way the hunt was carried out.
“ZPHGA reiterates it will not tolerate any illegal hunting or any unethical practices by any of its members and their staff,” the organization said in a statement. “We will await the completion of the current investigation by Zimbabwe Parks Wildlife Management Authority before commenting any further.”
Park rangers and regular visitors knew the 13-year-old lion as a tourist
attraction, easily approached by safari guide jeeps for photo
opportunities. Cecil had a propensity for lounging in the middle of
roads, said Bryan Orford, a former park guide and a longtime visitor to
Hwange. Hunting such an easy target only made the killing of Cecil even
more wrong, he said.
“I used to drive down the railway line road following Cecil and had to wait for him to get off the road,” Orford said last week. “This walking in front of the vehicle would go on for ages. Other times he would lie in the road, and you had to drive off the road to go around him.”
The death of Cecil not only means one less endangered African lion in
the world but also could mean the demise of a whole line of cubs sired
by the leader of the Hwange pride.
“The saddest part of all is that now that Cecil is dead, the next lion
in the hierarchy Jericho will most likely kill all Cecil's cubs so that
he can insert his own bloodline into the females,” Rodriques said.
“This is standard procedure for lions.”
