#BBB NEWS| Singer Natalie Cole-Daughter Of Legend Nat King Cole-Dead At 65

R&B singer Natalie Cole, daughter of legendary singer Nat King Cole, has died. She was 65 years old.

Cole, who’s hit singles include “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” struggled with a variety of health issues in recent years, but is reported to have died in a Los Angeles hospital New Year’s Day from congestive heart failure.

Although Nat King Cole died before his daughter launched her solo career, Cole scored her biggest hit in 1991 when she sang a virtual duet “Unforgettable” with her father.

In 2009, Cole received a kidney transplant from an anonymous donor after contracting Hepatitis C from her years of prior drug use.

MTN Nigeria has said it did not expect any service disruption on its network as deadline for payment of N1.04 trillion fine, later reduced to N780 billion by the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, expired yesterday.

The fine, which according to NCC, was against the inability of MTN to disconnect about 5.1 million subscribers allegedly not properly registered on its network in August and September 2015, was meant to be paid on or before December 31, 2015.

However, the Commission, also yesterday, said it would take fresh decision Monday, after confirming that MTN did not pay the N780 billion fine before the close of work on deadline day, December 31, 2015.

A reliable source at the Commission, said: “I can confirm to you that MTN did not pay the fine before close of work today (yesterday) and so the Commission will take a fresh decision on the issue Monday.

Twelve years later, Beyonce’s debut solo studio album, Dangerously In Love is still making headlines. The breakthrough soundscape has just surpassed the five millionth mark in sales, Billboard reports.

Despite Bey’s game-changing self-titled project that was released in Dec. 2013, Dangerously In Love still stands as her best-selling solo album.

The 15-track compilation boasted powerhouse singles like “Me, Myself and I,” “Baby Boy” alongside Sean Paul, “Naughty Girl,” and the chart-topping “Crazy In Love” featuring her hubby Jay Z, back when he used the hyphen in his name.

While Bill Cosby’s legal woes continue, comedian Eddie Griffin lashed out against Cosby accusers, even going as far as saying his arrest is part of an effort to ruin black male entertainers.

“There is a systematic effort to destroy every black male entertainer’s image.”the 47-year-old said. “They want us all to have an asterisks by our name. Kobe, raped a white woman in Colorado. Dr. Cosby, raped 37 b—hes and counting. Nobody leaves this business clean.”

During a nearly 15 minute interview with VLADTV Thursday, (December 31) the Kansas City native alluded to the notion that discrediting Cosby after all his contributions because of 30-year-old allegations was questionable.

“The man has singlehandedly sent a bunch of brothers and sisters to college, even if he didn’t pay for it himself, he gave them the idea that it’s possible,” the former Malcolm & Eddie star said. The mother f—ker was so generous with his money, he bought colleges colleges and then some p—y is so suppose to tear that down?

Ice Cube had a whirlwind of a year, and he’s reflecting on one of its standout moments thanks to the premiere of the Straight Outta Compton film.

The N.W.A biopic hit theaters in the summer, and has received multiple accolades and praise since its debut.

Now, the Cali native reveals that the F. Gary Gray-directed reel has been an idea for nearly 20 years. During an interview with KCRW’s The Business show, Cube said he’s had the urge to make the film, but always held back from bringing it to life. “I just never thought all the pieces — It was just too many,” he said. “A lot of moving parts. A lot of politics involved. A lot of people on the legal side and illegal side of things, so it just seemed like an impossible task.”

Fast forward to the present, and Straight Outta Compton has grossed over $200 million worldwide. It has also received recognition from the Screen Actors Guild, named Best Picture by the African-American Film Critics Association, and labeled as a possible contender for 2016’s Oscars.

Racism is still alive and well and according to Floyd Mayweather, very obvious in boxing. In a recent interview with Fight Hype, the retired champion discussed The Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings which saw Andre Ward placed at number 4, a standing Mayweather considers unfair because Ward has yet to lose a fight.

“I can’t believe they [Ring Magazine] got Andre Ward ranked number four in the pound-for-pound list,” he said. “Even though the guy that’s ranked number one pound-for-pound right now, you know, you can’t argue about that, but without Andre Ward losing a fight, he has to be number two.”

Holding the top spot instead is Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez, an undefeated Nicaraguan fighter who, out of 44 fights has won 38 by knockout.

#BBB NEWS| Bill Cosby’s Attorney Speaks Out Against Felony Charges [VIDEO]

News broke on Wednesday (Dec. 30), that famed actor/comedian Bill Cosby was arraigned on three counts of aggravated indecent assault.

The result stemmed from a 2004 case with former Temple University employee, Andrea Constand, who said Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her at his home in Elkins Park, Penn.

A day following the court proceedings, the 78-year-old’s attorney, Monique Pressley, is speaking out against the ruling. “If you look at the deposition you will see that there is no admission of criminal wrongdoing with respect to Mr. Cosby,” she said.

Pressley later stated her client has been “accused unjustly of a crime,” and “there will be no consideration on our part of any sort of arrangement.”

President Muhammadu Buhari has said he would dismiss any member of his cabinet involved in corruption.

He said the details on his administration’s anti-corruption campaign would become clearer at the end of the first quarter of 2016.

The president was speaking Wednesday during his administration’s maiden media chat.

He said the government would work with the Ministry of Justice to ensure that the truth is known.

“I feel that Nigerians have to know the truth, and the truth in terms of what has been recovered; in terms of bank statement, where the money was sourced, where it was lodged, how much; whether it is money from NNPC or directly from central bank. When we do that, I feel Nigerians will feel better,” said Mr. Buhari.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has indirectly challenged Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, to visit the north-eastern parts of Nigeria where the war on terror is ongoing.

Mohammed, who spoke in an interactive session with journalists on Wednesday, in Ikeja, insisted that the war against terror had been largely won by the country’s troops.

He insisted that the Boko Haram sect had been reduced to a “fleeing, bomb-throwing, cowardly and disorganised army’’.

A few days ago, the Ekiti State governor had challenged Mohammed, whom he told to visit the Sambisa Forest, which is regarded as a stronghold of the sect.

Fayose had said, “Nigerians will only take the minister serious if he relocates to either Sambisa in Borno State or to Yobe State and stay there till the end of March, next year, without heavy military security.”

The Peoples Democratic Party alleged on Thursday that President Muhammadu Buhari’s responses at the Wednesday Presidential Media Chat were not only embarrassing but also further exposed his undemocratic character as an unrepentant tyrant who has no regard for the rule of law and the self-worth of Nigerian citizens.

The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in Abuja, also said the President confirmed his alleged partisanship in the much-vaunted war against corruption by openly absolving his ministers and party members of corrupt practices.

Metuh said the President’s attitude showed his true colours as unrepentant dictator.

He also said it was wrong for the President to have condemned those undergoing trial for alleged corruption.

He said, “Whilst we restate our respect for the person and office of the President, we note that President Buhari bared his true colours to the world as an unrepentant tyrant.

Following an arraignment Wednesday afternoon (Dec. 30), a judge presiding over Bill Cosby’s 2004 sexual assault case handed down a $1 million bail note for the 78-year-old, who was also ordered to turn over his passport, ABC News reports.

Cosby was charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault following a January 2004 case that involved the alleged sexual assault and drugging of former Temple University employee, Andrea Constand.

During a press conference held earlier, First Assistant District Attorney Kevin Steele said, “We examined all the evidence and we made this determination because it was the right thing to do.”

Chris Brown’s seventh solo album Royalty, named after his cutiepatootie daughter, has found its way to the top of Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop charts making it Breezy’s sixth number one record.

Idris Elba and David Oyelowo received a high honor from Queen Elizabeth Tuesday (December 29) when both actors made the Queen’s annual New Year’s honor list.

Elba, who received a Golden Globe nomination for his work in the Netflix original film Beast of No Nation and BBC’s Luther, was humbled by the honor.

“Awards and honors come in all shapes and sizes and all as significant as the other. But this is beyond special as it comes from Queen and country, and I couldn’t be more proud for receiving this right now. What a year. On me head son!” Elba said in a statement.

President Muhammadu Buhari fielded questions from representatives of four local media organizations at his first televised media chat in Nigeria since his inauguration on May 29, 2015.

Journalists from Premium Times, Channels TV, Media World International, and The Daily Trust asked President Buhari questions for about two hours on topics ranging from the ongoing fight against Boko Haram, his anti-corruption policy, devaluation of the Naira, the minimum wage, to Nigeria’s overall fiscal condition.

Mr. Buhari used the highly anticipated platform to offer a rare glimpse into his thoughts on pressing issues in Nigeria, including the Nigerian army’s recent massacre of members of the Shiite sect in Zaria, the role of the Department of State Services (DSS) in re-arresting both Nnamdi Kanu and Sambo Dasuki, and the need for anti-corruption agencies to present credible documents and evidence to courts in prosecuting alleged corruption by public officials.

#BBB NEWS| FG To Create 1m Direct Jobs In 2016

For the first time in Nigeria's budgetary history, the federal government would be directly intervening in lifting people out of poverty through a series of measures already proposed in the 2016 budget that is now before the National Assembly.

Explaining details of the social investment plans announced by the President last week while presenting the 2016 budget, Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo said "for the first time the budget is paying attention to the problem of poverty in a proper and direct way. We have decided to address poverty and youth unemployment."

Indeed by committing an unprecedented half a trillion Naira for social investment spendings and interventions, the Buhari administration is proposing to spend about 9% of the 2016 budget to address poverty issues directly.

The Vice President spoke yesterday -late Tuesday -in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso during an interactive session at the Nigerian embassy with Nigerians resident in the west African nation, where he had gone to participate in the installation of the new democratically elected president, Mr. Roch Marc Christian Kaboré.

From Godwin Isenyo, Kaduna: The authorities of the Kaduna Convict Prison on Wednesday denied claims that the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, was in the prison.

The Controller of the Kaduna Prisons, Abubakar Argungu, who denied the claims, however, said 191 members of the Islamic movement were in the custody of the prison.

Argungu said, “We only have 191 followers of the Shi’ite sects in our custody. But we do not have their leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky with us.”

Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Government said on Wednesday that it will soon name members of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the recent clash in Zaria between the Nigerian Army and Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky led Islamic Movement in Nigeria.

Reports have surfaced on Wednesday morning (Dec. 30), that famed actor/comedian Bill Cosby will face charges of an alleged sexual assault that occurred in January 2004, AP reports.

Montgomery County prosecutors in Norristown, Penn., arrived at this decision, marking this as the first criminal case against the 78-year-old since news of his reported use of drugs and sexual assault on multiple women came to light last year.

More than fifty women have shared their stories, including super model Beverly Johnson who recently received a countersuit from Cosby for “defamation of character.”

According to People, an arrest warrant has also been issued for Cosby in this sexual assault case, which involved a former Temple University employee, Andrea Constand, in 2004. The educator said Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her at his house in Elkins Park, Penn.

Agents of the Department of State Security (DSS) re-arrested former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki at the gates of Kuje Prison in Abuja yesterday.

Mr. Dasuki’s arrest comes just after he met the conditions of bail set by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The former NSA is at the center of an ever-expanding scandal involving the illegal diversion of billions of dollars during his tenure as NSA, much of which is now understood to have aided the presidential campaign of Goodluck Jonathan.

The stolen money, some of which was authorized by the former Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was intended to purchase weapons to support the military’s fight against Boko Haram.

While Kanye West gifted his beloved with 150 Christmas gifts this year, it appears as if the SWISH artist earned a late, but sweet gift from the good folks over at GQ when they named him the most stylish man of 2015.

Although Mr. West was up against model Lucky Blue Smith and both gentlemen’s fans came out in droves to support, it was tweets from his wife, Kim, sister-in-law Khloe and Kris Jenner that titled the votes in his favor.

President Muhammadu Buhari will spend N18.1 billion on the Presidential Villa in 2016, which is more than the N11.5 billion spent by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

However, President Buhari does plan on spending less than Mr. Jonathan did on food for the first and second families.

It will be recalled that last week, President Buhari presented a N6.08 trillion budget to the National Assembly. The Buhari Administration has argued that most of the monies from the budget will go to the creation of more jobs and economic growth.

During a news conference in Abuja, on Tuesday, the Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Mr. Farouk Ahmed, announced that as of January 1st, 2016 all retail stations owned by the National Nigerian Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) would sell petrol at N86 per litre while those independently owned would sell petrol at N86.5 per litre.

It will be recalled that SaharaReporters published a report which quoted Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, the Minister of State for Petroleum, as stating that the price per litre would be N85.

According to Mr. Ahmed, the new price was the result of a new template created by the PPPRA which is designed to calculate a fuel prices based upon market factors. He also noted that the price would be reviewed on a quarterly basis in order to adjust for changes in the price of crude oil.

“Since 2007, while crude oil price has been moving up and down the template remained the same.

Dear Mr Femi Fani-Kayode,

Like any other Nigerian, I read the impetuous and ill-thought out diatribe, from you, against President Muhammadu Buhari. I am writing as a concerned Nigerian; the presidential spokesmen are at liberty to respond to you in a manner they consider fitting and prosper.
When I read yours, my first reaction was like – oh, our brother has gone mad again! Of course, it is a veiled reference to the vestigial deleterious effect of prolonged and unrestrained dealing in harmful drugs. The manner of your summersaults – occasioned by the incoherence and irascibility manifested in yours to the President - is clear attestation to the permanence of the scar of previous contacts with drugs, irrespective of various rehabilitative interventions.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and founder of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has expressed regret for referring to President Muhammadu Buhari as a terrorist, evil and a paedophile in his radio broadcasts.

Kanu, who has been charged along with two others by the Federal Government before a Federal High Court in Abuja on six counts of treason and other ancillary offences, said he intended to write a private letter to Buhari to express his apology to the President.

He also apologised to former President Goodluck Jonathan and Igbo elders for “some uncomplimentary things” he said about them.

The 48-year-old pro-Biafran agitation leader, who is, however, unapologetic about his demand for a Republic of Biafra, has been in the custody of the Department of State Services since his arrest in Lagos on October 14, 2015.

#BBB NEWS| Kaduna APC Suspends Senator Shehu Sani

The Tudun Wada ward of the All Progressives Congress in Kaduna State, on Monday, suspended the senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial zone, Shehu Sani, from the party.

The senator is a registered member of the party from the ward.

In a letter to the senator dated December 27, the party said the suspension is for a period of 11 months.

Mr. Sani was also banned from engaging in party activities in Kaduna State during the period of suspension.

The letter was signed by the Secretary of the ward, Ahmed Abdulhamid, the Public Relations Officer, Auwal Mai Anguwa, and ex-officio member, Aminu Alilan.

A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has berated the Minister of Information and Culture, Ahaji Lai Mohammed, for saying that Boko Haram terrorism had been technically defeated.

Fani-Kayode said this in an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari which was posted on his official Facebook page.

He said the statement by the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that Boko Haram had been technically defeated was misleading as terror attacks had worsened in recent times.

The former minister, who insisted that he was a ‘loyal subject’ of Buhari, asked the President to return to his ‘gallant ways’ as this was the only way to defeat insurgents.

He said it was unfortunate that Cameroonian soldiers invaded Gwoza Local Government in Borno State recently and killed over 70 civilians but that the military failed to repel the insurgents.

The popular streaming service Spotify has just been hit with a $150 million class action lawsuit over alleged unpaid royalties.

The suit was filed Monday (December 28th) by Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker in the Central District Court of California.

According to the firm’s founding member David Lowery, Spotify “knowingly, willingly, and unlawfully reproduces and distributes copyrighted compositions without obtaining mechanical licenses,” and they are seeking at least $150 million in damages.

He took a moment to remind fans of the 1996 draft that started it all.

“Most people don’t realize you were drafted by the Hornets,” Jordan said. “That connects us with you. I’ve always been like a big brother and you like a little brother.”

Acknowledging Bryant’s “competitive drive,” Jordan recalled his first game against the Lakers star, calling it “invigorating,” although the the “knowledge wasn’t quite there yet.” MJ also wished Bryant good luck in navigating his next undertaking, encouraging him to channel his competitive spirit into the next career he chooses.

There’s four main things Floyd Mayweather likes to spend his money on; his kids, his women, cars and jewelry. The boxer took to his Instagram account and showed off his latest jewelry pieces and the price tag is insane!

According to TMZ Sports, the giant ring alone is 50 carats and smaller necklace is made of 74 diamonds, each one being three carats each.

All told, Floyd’s rep says the collection ran Floyd between $10-15 million.

Floyd also recently spent over $1 million on a Hublot watch while shopping in Dubai.

Despite the recent attacks in Maiduguri which left scores dead, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, maintained that President Muhammadu Buhari would “technically defeat” Boko Haram by the self-imposed December 31st deadline.

Minister Mohammed made this statement on Sunday, while addressing members of the press in Lagos. It will be recalled that on Monday morning Maiduguri was hit again by suicide bombings and that the town of Madagali, located in Adamawa State, was also hit by a twin suicide bombing. All told, at least 65 Nigerians have perished in less than 48 hours.

However, Mr. Mohammed argued that the recent attacks could not be compared to the “near war-like” situation experienced only a year ago.

#BBB NEWS| Tyrese Posts An Open Letter To Donald Trump: “I’m Deeply Hurt And Bothered By Your Antics” [PHOTO]

Donald Trump’s controversy-filled run for president has yet another celebrity speaking out against the Republican candidate. In a lengthy Instagram post, Tyrese wrote an open letter to Trump about his “antics” during his trending topic of a campaign.

The singer used a photo of Muslims praying outside of the Trump Tower in New York City, and voiced his personal offense about Trump’s comments against the religious community.

“You’ve offended my #Muslim community, and created racial boundaries and set my people up for hate crimes and to be targeted for bigotry because of the “acts” of some,” he wrote. “Islam is PEACE….. THE ACTS OF SOME of ANY GROUP doesn’t justify you spreading hate towards ALL of my people in the Muslim and or Arab community…. I’m deeply hurt and bothered by your antics and hatred towards my Muslim and Arab people.”

Lagos lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, in this interview, speaks on the efforts to recover the nation’s funds looted under the previous administration, saying Nigerians must own the ongoing war against corruption to make it effective.

The war against corruption, can it be described as cosmetic?

The war against corruption that is on-going deserves the encouragement of Nigerians, particularly the victims of corruption – soldiers who were deprived of arms to fight Boko Haram, the people seeking medical attention and could not get, the unemployed masses. Nigerians should own the war because if you simply leave it to government, of course, you cannot remove allegations of prosecutorial selectivity and the rest of them, but Nigerians should insist that there has to be restitution from those who have stolen from our commonwealth, and reduce our people to a poverty stricken lot. Nigerians must be prepared to wage the war much more than the government.

What a time to be Stephen Curry and Serena Williams. The tennis titan and Golden State Warrior were named AP female and male athlete of the year for the dominance in their respective fields.

Williams, who was also one of Vibe’s Magnificent 7, has earned this title three times before. Once in 2002, 2009 and 2013.

In 2015 alone, the 34 year old won both the French and Australian Open as well as Wimbledon, before losing in the U.S. Open Semifinals, which would’ve earned her, her 22nd Grand Slam Title.

Curry, 27, rose to NBA stardom as he led the once downtrodden Golden State Warriors to finals history when they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers last year, cementing his and the teams greatness. When Curry learned of the honor, he humbly accepted.
