She's so cute, that even our mean mannered Simon Cowell couldn't help but show his softer side. Good performance by Natalie, but I'll have to agree with Simon on this one though, her previous performance definitely did a better job of showing how talented she really is. Anywho...best of luck to Natalie!
Some crazy stuff on the interwebs. On a beautiful spring day, some Naija Christian Lady and some Muslim Manchester United fan cross paths in a park, and for some reason we’ll never know...all madness ensues.
These guys no dey hear word!!! After the recent execution of a Nigerian drug dealer in China. A Mr. Nweke Chibueze took it upon himself to ingest 82 wraps of cocaine weighing about 1.4 Kilogrammes.
He could have made some serious cashmoney seeing that 1.4 K of cocaine on Naija streets is valued at about N13 million, which according to Wolframalpha is equivalent to $87,373 US. Not bad I say...not bad at all at all!
But the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) weren't having any of such shenanigans and arrested Nweke at Murtala Muhammed airport during a screening of passengers. During his detainment, Mr. Nweke Chibueze literally could not hold his shit and proceeded to excrete under observation of NDLEA agents, and thus revealing his dirty little secret.
Former Chairman of Nigeria's Economic Crimes Commission (EFCC) who was fired in 2008 for apparently doing his job too well, as he exposed and charged high profile Nigerian bankers, politicians, former ministers for corruption and money laundering. Ribadu recently testified before the U.S. Financial Services Committee, watch the video up top to hear what he had to say.
Here's also an awesome statement by Ribadu taken from an interview he did with The Guardian earlier in the year:
“If you fight corruption, it fights back. If you go after petty corruption nothing will happen to you, But if you go after grand corruption, you’d be taking on the politicians and they have the money. And they will come after you, But you can choose to go to bed with them and you’d continue to be Chairman or Director, and you can go to conferences and enjoy tea and collect estacodes. But I made a choice, I decided to go after the big ones, even if they were the ones that put me there, I investigated President Obasanjo, I took his statement myself. I went after his daughter, a Senator, I went after Governors, I charged all of them to court. One of them offered me $500, 000 US and a house in Seychelles and an aircraft, but I rejected all of that. By the time I left EFCC, I had 275 convictions in a country that never had one on cases of grand corruption, I charged the Vice President to court - somebody from my village. I proved that it can be done.”
If Dr. Okonjo runs for office, Ribadu should be her Vice President!
Lately we've been having quite a number of stories on Naijafeed revolving around crime and corruption in Nigeria. So it kind of got me thinking? Is corruption a Nigerian epidemic, with 419 our version of HIN1? At least with swine flu, we have stock piles of tamiflu ready to combat the virus...but what do we have against 419?
In my desperate attempt to find a potential cure for the 419 plague. I started some serious research to seek out what we can do about this menacing scourge our beloved country has been infected with for decades. I found Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and yes...she has the cure!
