Press Release From Office Of The First Lady: Politicizing The Dana Crash

Most of you probably heard the rumours yesterday that the Dana plane that crashed was distressed for a while but could not make an emergency landing because the airspace was closed for 2 hours for the Presidential Jet carrying Dame Patience Jonathan. Na lie ooo!!!. A brad from the office of first Lady of Nigeria when you continue...



Our attention has been drawn to the orchestrated plan to politicize the Sunday Dana Air crash in Lagos in which many people lost their lives, through rumours about the possible cause of the accident citing VIP movement involving the wife of the President.

We consider it callous, inhuman and devilish for anyone to have thought of wrapping such national calamity in political garb by insinuating that the plane crashed because the airspace was closed for the First Lady's movement in Lagos.

For the avoidance of doubt, the First Lady arrived Lagos at about 2pm on Saturday, 2nd June, 2012 for a private engagement and was billed to leave for Abuja on Monday, 4th June, 2012.

In compliance with her itinerary, the First Lady arrived Lagos on Saturday. She was at a public event on Sunday when the accident occurred and promptly abandoned the ceremony as a mark of respect for the victims and retired to the State House, Marina. She left Lagos at exactly 13.15hrs on Monday, 4th June, 2012, according to schedule.

It is therefore surprising that some mischievous persons will see this moment of National mourning as an opportunity to blackmail and impugn the First Lady's integrity.

This is the time for all Nigerians to be sober and pray for the repose of the souls of the victims and not a time to subordinate the interests of our nation to narrow self-serving interests.

Let us all put the interest of the Nation first in whatever we do.

Mrs. Jonathan had no intention to travel on Sunday and never did. Like all Nigerians, she has been mourning the dead.


Signed
Ayo Osinlu
Special Assistant to the President

The son of rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been heavily critisized for accepting a football scholarship from UCLA

P.Diddy and justin

      The son of rap mogul  Sean "Diddy" Combs has been heavily critisized for accepting a football scholarship from UCLA that critics say should go to a more needy student.
    Justin Dior Combs  whose father topped  Forbes list of hip hop's wealthiest this year with a net worth estimated at $550 million will attend the University of California, Los Angeles to study business finance and play football on a schorlarship  that will provide $54,000 a year toward his education. 
     That has not stopped some critics from saying justin shouldn't have accepted it because he comes from a wealthy home and the schorlarship should be given to a more more needy student . Justin Combs, in response to a CNN story about his scholarship, took to Twitter on Tuesday to say that he earned the scholarship. "Regardless what the circumstances are, I put that work in!!!! PERIOD," he wrote. "Regardless of what you do in life every1 is gonna have their own opinion. Stay focused, keep that tunnel vision & never 4get why u started.," Combs, who played in nationwide high school all-star game in Arizona in January, said in a follow-up post.

    UCLA said in a statement that unlike need-based scholarships for academics, the school's sports scholarships are awarded strictly on the basis of athletic ability. "Athletic scholarships, such as those awarded to football or basketball players, do not rely on state funds," UCLA said. "Instead, these scholarships are entirely funded through UCLA Athletics ticket sales, corporate partnerships, media contracts and private donations from supporters." UCLA hands out about 285 full athletic scholarships each year.
    Justin graduated from New Rochelle Iona Prep in New York with a 3.75 GPA, and got a free ride to UCLA on a $54,000 football scholarship. He also got scholarship offers from Illinois, Virginia and Wyoming, but chose the prestigious University of California. “Playing Division I football was a lifelong dream of mine, and through hard work I was able to achieve it,” he said

i would say in my opinion, that if the boy worked for it, he should accept it.... why the buzz...?

Swimming...

I want to go for swimming this weekend, as i have nothing else to this weekend...
but i really want to learn to go to the deeper ends of the pool, as i only know how to move around alot in the safe regions... but swimming is really fantastic for me... it clears my head and helps me focus on things..
why not try going out once a week, over the weekend, saturdays are good, but i prefer fridays, because i may eventually end up being the only one at the pool...
it can be quite frustrating when there are so many people inside the water and everyone is trying to get a space, i imagine everyone like shrimps inside a boiling pot trying to escape for their life... it is quite funny as well, but it pissess me off big time-- forgive me oo! for being stingy and all, but i should be able to enjoy what i am paying for..
i actually wouldn't mind a hot fine-as* man that would take up the challenge to teach me the other basics of swimming that i do not know about (smiling mischievously)

but i may eventually go swimming ...tmao!
kisses
