#BBB NEWS| NBA: Carmelo Anthony Lands Role In “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” Sequel

Carmelo Anthony might not be in the playoffs because the Knicks were just terrible this season, but he is keeping himself very busy at this time of year anyway. Carmelo got himself a role in the sequel of “TMNT2″ and it appears he isn’t the only NBA player in the movie.

Melo was spotted on the set of the movie earlier this week while filming was going on in Brooklyn. No word on what type of character he plays but it seems like a quick role.

Carmelo won’t be the only NBA player in the movie, either. J.J. Redick is apparently going to be in it as well and several of his Clippers teammates, including DeAndre Jordan, Matt Barnes, Austin Rivers, and Spencer Hawes, are going to be in it, too. The movie is scheduled to come out on June 3, 2016.

An Abuja-based media consultant and former newspaper editor, Simon Imobo-Tswam, has sued Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, for libel, mischief and the unauthorized use of his name, phone number and platform for image-laundering.

In a lawsuit filed at a High Court in the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Imobo-Tswam seeks N1 billion from the minister as “general and compensatory damages.” According to the plaintiff, Ms. Alison-Madueke and her media agents illegally used his name, his mobile telephone number and the official letterhead of his group, Network of Progressive Activists (NPA), to launch a media attack against former President Olusegun Obasanjo. In addition, according to the plaintiff, the minister and her hirelings exploited his name and group in defending the minister’s alleged questionable spending of N10 billion to charter jets.

Apart from the Petroleum Minister, other defendants are Michael Mukwuzi, Timothy Ademola, ThisDay newspapers, Tokunbo Adedoja, Vanguard newspapers, Chioma Gabriel, and Anozie Egole.

#BBB NEWS| PDP Chair, Mu’azu Dares Gov. Fayose, Mocks Him Over Buhari’s Death Wish

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, has responded to the threat of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State to release evidence of Mu’azu’s “underhand dealings” with the All Progressives Congress.

The PDP National Chairman had faulted the calls of some PDP leaders on him and other members of the National Working Committee of the party to resign, following the heavy defeat suffered by the party in the recent general elections, especially its loss in the presidential poll.

Fayose, one of those pushing for the resignation of Mu’azu, had threatened that he would release incriminating evidence of the national chairman’s secret support for the APC, if Mu’azu pushed further his defence.

On his twitter handle on Thursday, Mu’azu, who is said to be outside the country, mocked the controversial governor, wondering if the Ekiti governor’s “evidence” would not be like his “evidence” during the presidential campaign, when Fayose said he was sure that the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, was dying in a London hospital.

#BBB NEWS| Former U.S House Speaker Jim Wright Dies At Age 92

DALLAS (AP) — Former U.S. House Speaker Jim Wright, the longtime Texas Democrat who became the first House speaker in history to be driven out of office in midterm, has died at age 92.

The World War II veteran and author, often praised for his eloquence and oratorical skills, was living in a nursing home when he died early Wednesday morning, according to the Harveson and Cole funeral home in Fort Worth. Funeral arrangements were pending.

Wright represented a Fort Worth-area congressional district for 34 years, beginning with his election in 1954. He was the House's Democratic majority leader for a decade, rising to the speakership in January 1987, to replace Tip O'Neill.

Although three House speakers had resigned before Wright stepped down in 1989, they all served during the 19th century — and none had been under fire for breaking House ethics rules.

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has said he is still working towards buying Arsenal Football Club, despite the fact that his bid to acquire a stake in the club was rebuffed by the owners in 2010.

In an interview with Bloomberg, while on a journey from Addis Ababa to Lagos last Friday, Dangote expressed hope that his new strategy would enable him buy the north London club at a price the owners won’t want to resist.

He said, “I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team. I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist. I know my strategy,” Dangote, a known fan of the north London club, said.

Dangote is rated to be worth $15.7bn, and has interests in cement, sugar and flour. He is currently investing $11bn in a 650,000 barrel-a-day oil refinery in Ondo State, and $2.5bn in gas pipelines running from the Niger-Delta area to Lagos.

“They do not want to reason — they kill,” said playwright and poet Wole Soyinka, urging vigorous international action against Islamist militant groups like Boko Haram, whose campaign of terror in northern Nigeria has included the kidnapping of thousands of women and girls.

“We’ve reached a state where there’s a party of life and a party of death,” he said, and those on the side of life must fight for their belief “as ruthlessly” as the foe they face.

In a general election at the end of March, opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari, former military ruler of the country, prevailed over incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan by more than 2.7 million votes.

It’s that time of year again. Forbes presents hip-hop’s wealthiest artists/businessmen. And 2015’s coveted roster includes the likes of: Dr.Dre, 5O Cent, Jay Z, Birdman and Diddy.

There was a lot of talk last year stipulating that Dr.Dre was the wealthiest man in the hip-hop industry when he sold his Beats By Dre headphone empire to Apple for a whopping $3 billion. After taxes however, the mogul rounded up a $700 million dollar net worth—making Diddy the richest man in hip-hop with a cool $735 million in his bank account.

With a slew of business ventures including: clothing lines Enyce and Sean John, multimedia network Revolt, alkaline water brand AQUAhydrate and a new tequila called DeLeon, it’s no surprise Mr. Combs took all the cake home this year.

#BBB NEWS| We Met Buhari To Discuss The Precarious State Of The Nigerian Economy - APC Governors

The governors elected ​on​ the platform of the All Progressives Congress have stated that they met with President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to discuss the precarious state of the Nigerian economy.

The Chairman of the APC Governors forum and governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, who briefed reporters at the end of the meeting that held at the Defence House Abuja, said the country’s economy is in such bad shape that no state has been able to pay salaries of its workers.

#BBB NEWS| Fuel Scarcity Will Persist - APC Rep-Elect Oladele

Just as the fuel scarcity is biting hard in many parts of the country, particularly in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory and Lagos where residents grapple with fuel shortage which hit the country last weekend, a Federal legislator-elect, Mr. Kayode Oladele has attributed the cause of the scarcity to economic sabotage, corruption and insensitivity on the part of the Federal government.

According to Mr. Oladele who was the former chief of staff to the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and member-elect  of  the House of Representatives representing Egbado (Yewa) North/Imeko-Afon Federal constituency in Ogun State, the Federal Government is owing major oil marketers in Nigeria several Billions of Naira without any intention of paying them before the Jonathan’s administration wind up on May 29th, 2015.

 “The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has told the oil marketers point blank that Jonathan’s administration would not pay them. Rather, she told them that government is a continuum and that the indebtedness shall be passed on to the in-coming Buhari administration. Jonathan’s administration is insensitive to the trauma an average Nigerian is currently going through as a result of the fuel scarcity. First the Ministry of Finance told the country last week that N156 Billion had been released to the oil marketers in order to ease the scarcity but our investigation has revealed that this statement was nothing but an outright fabrication. Again, the Jonathan Administration has through the 2015 Appropriation Bill, removed fuel subsidy, a situation that might put the incoming Buhari’s regime on a collision course with Nigerians. It is very important to know which government to hold responsible for the removal of subsidy”, Oladele has said.

Embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu, says those rooting for his removal are enemies of President Goodluck Jonathan, and are thereby rubbishing the legacy of the outgoing president.

Following Mr. Jonathan’s defeat in the March presidential election, some people within the party have called for the National Working Committee (NWC), led by Mr. Mu'azu, to be sacked.

In a statement in Abuja on Tuesday by his media aide, Tony Amadi, that top party men and aides of the President who have advocated the dismemberment of the NWC not only risk their political careers but are dragging President Jonathan's image into the scrap heap.

"Mr President is being hailed world-wide for his historic conduct of a free and fair election in Nigeria and conceding power to the incoming President-elect General Muhammadu Buhari, while a coterie of his aides are working to diminish his newly acquired world statesmanship status because they are scared of the consequences of losing federal power,”
he said.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A convicted killer escaped from an Ohio prison farm in 1959, then was allowed to slip away from law enforcement in 1975 and disappeared until a ruse to get his fingerprints led to his arrest in Florida this week, investigators said Tuesday.

Former Akron, Ohio, resident Frank Freshwaters, now 79, admitted his true identity when authorities confronted him Monday, according to the U.S. Marshals Service and deputies in Brevard County, Florida.

Marshals in Ohio had sought help from deputies there, and they created a ruse to get him to sign papers so they could check his fingerprints, which matched the decades-old arrest, said Major Tod Goodyear.

"We couldn't go with a picture and see if it's that guy," Goodyear said. "You look different than you do 50 years ago."

#BBB NEWS| Manny Pacquiao Could Face Perjury Charges For Failing To Disclose Shoulder Injury

It looks like Manny Pacquiao may have lost more than just a fight. Now, the Filipino fighter and his team could be facing perjury charges for falsely filling out a pre-fight medical questionnaire.

The boxer’s camp reportedly checked the “no” box when asked if he had a shoulder injury. According to local sources, they have sparked an investigation by Nevada authorities, states the New York Daily News.

“Disclosure is a big thing for us, and honesty,” Cisco Aguilar, the Nevada Athletic Commission chairman said. “The commission at some point will have to discuss (Pacquiao’s medical questionnaire). I’ve got to run through the process with the (Nevada) Attorney General (Adam Laxalt). But they do sign that document under the penalty of perjury.”

But here’s the catch: Pacquiao and his promoter, Top Rank, released a statement on Monday (May 4) that said his team let the U.S. Anti Doping Agency know about Pacquiao’s shoulder injury before the May 2 fight. The statement also mentioned that the USADA “confirmed in writing that the proposed treatments, if used, were completely allowed.”

#BBB NEWS| Why I won’t Resign – PDP National Secretary … Cautions Bode George Against Divisive Politics

My attention has been drawn to a communiqué purportedly issued by some PDP leaders in the Southwest calling on me, the National Secretary Prof. Adewale Oladipo and the National Auditor, Alhaji Adewole Adeyanju to resign from the National Working Committee.

According to the communiqué, the resignation was to pave way for the dissolution of the National Working Committee as a fall out of the 2015 general elections.

However, a very careful examination of the inherent breaches in the procedures adopted in the convening of the meeting as well as the content and tone of its resolution shows an orchestration by a few individuals bent on sowing a seed of discord within the PDP fold in the zone.

This is evident in the fact that the said communiqué in no way reflected the views of majority of those who attended the meeting, neither did it tally with the opinion of the generality of our party members in the region.
