SURE-P Chairman Fired For Attending Obasanjo’s Birthday Against President Jonathan's Orders?

Earlier today, Presidential spokesperson Reuben Abati announced that the SURE-P chairman, Martin Luther Agwai, had been relieved of his post  in order to re-energize the parastatal. However, new reports say that Mr. Agwai was sacked for attending former president Obasanjo’s birthday event last week against the directives by the president that no one in the current administration was to attend the festivities.

Mr. Agwai would be the second SURE-P chairman to be sacked after disagreeing with the president. He replaced Christopher Kolade, who left office after criticising the president. The statement by Reuben Abati says Ishaya Dare Akau, an experienced administrator in the civil service is to replace Gen. Agwai with immediate effect. See the government's position on the sack of Agwai below, and the report by Premium Times also.

Open Letter To D’Banj - Enough of the Idiotic Dance Steps, Time To Reinvent Yourself

Recently, the above photo of D’banj performing on stage in the UK went viral because it seemed the music star was getting a BJ by a female fan while he stood right there on stage with all other watching and the paparazzi clicking away. The picture has given rise to many different people weighing on the Dbanj brand all over again.

However, our favorite opinion piece is written by Joy Bewaji who says her post is NOT a love letter to Dbanj. But if you ask me, with the suggestions she makes in the article, Dbanj could do worse than pay close attention. Read below...

Petition Against Facebook's 'Feeling Fat' Emoji Gets Over 16,700 Supporters

Facebook's feeling fat emoji has been getting some significant backlash, with over 16,700 people signing an online petition which wants to have the emoticon eliminated from the site altogether. The petition is on change.org, and was set up by Catherine Weingarten, pictured above, along with the group Endangered Bodies. According to the page, the petitioners are demanding "that Facebook remove the “fat” emoji from its status options and stop encouraging negative body image among girls."

Facebook is the most popular social networking site in the world right now. With 890 million users each day, it has the power to influence how we talk to each other about our bodies. I dream that one day the platform will actively encourage body positivity and self-esteem among its users, but for now, all I ask is that it stop endorsing self-destructive thoughts through seemingly harmless emojis.

North West Distracted By Paparazzi While Kim Kardashian Walks Off

Parents know they have to be more careful than most, and some celebrities including Halle Berry and others have gone to authorities and spoken out about the danger that paparazzi pose to their kids. This video of Kim Kardashian's and Kanye West's daughter North West being distracted by the photographers is a good argument for the case.

North West was walking with her Kim in the airport when the paparazzi caught her attention so much that North had to stop and stare at them, in the process dropping her mother's hand. Kim walked on for a few steps without her daughter before realizing it and she practically ran back to get her. People on social media are bashing Kim right now for ''forgetting'' her child again but I think the blame is mis-directed. See the video and some of the comments below...
