#BBB NEWS| I Won’t Resign, Senate President, Bukola Saraki Says

#BBB NEWS| According To Ice Cube, N.W.A Won’t Perform At The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony

Late last year, news broke that legendary rap group N.W.A will be inducted into the esteemed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But with the ceremony less than 24 hours away, one of the collective’s members, Ice Cube, shared some disappointing news.

In an interview with The New York Times, the actor/director explained the reason why the MCs won’t showcase their game-changing tracks on stage.

“I guess we really didn’t feel like we were supported enough to do the best show we could put on,” he said. “We wanted to do it on a whole other level, and that just couldn’t happen. But we’re totally honored, humbled and appreciative to the Hall for even just considering us, inducting us and inviting us.”
N.W.A joins a list of fellow rappers to be inducted into the longstanding register including Public Enemy, and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. But this feat didn’t sit well with KISS bassist/singer Gene Simmons who stated the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should only be reserved for those who play the guitar or sing. To that statement, Cube disagreed with Simmons, and explained what rock ‘n’ roll truly is.

#BBB NEWS| Corruption Trial Of Senate President Saraki Commences As CCT Rejects Request For Adjournment

The corruption trial of Nigeria’s embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki, is finally underway in Abuja after he lost another effort to have it adjourned and the drama prolonged.

Lawyers to Mr. Saraki, led by Paul Usoro, arrived at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) armed with a motion for adjournment, claiming they had again filed an appeal to stop the trial, a game they have played for many months.

Federal prosecutor Rotimi Jacobs resisted the effort, spiritedly telling the court he was ready for trial.  He repeatedly told the court that the so-called appeal was nothing but another ruse, pointing out that the paperwork submitted by Mr. Saraki's lawyer shows that a proper appeal had not been filed because the Supreme Court had already ruled on the matters being appealed.

After both sides argued on points of law, a member of the tribunal was so alarmed at the antics of Saraki's lawyers that he wondered aloud why Nigeria is still stuck at the tactics being crudely employed by Saraki at the trial.

She was first arraigned in the court last October.
