3 Journalists arrested for polio vaccine killings

Three Nigerian journalists have been arrested for allegedly inciting violence against polio workers, Reuters reported. On Friday, gunmen in Kano State killed nine people, who had been giving patients the polio vaccine. The arrested journalists are accused of inspiring the attacks.

The journalists had said on Wazobia FM on Wednesday that immunisation against polio was anti-Islam and part of a Western conspiracy to cause infertility, Kano Police Chief Ibrahim Idris, told Reuters.

The killing of the vaccinators is a major setback in Nigeria’s fight against polio. “The killing of polio vaccinators in Kano State is a dastardly act that must be condemned by all,” he told All Africa.

Coach Stephen Keshi Withdraws his resignation

Below is a press statement the Super Eagles coach released early this morning...

My attention has been drawn to reports in the media that I have resigned my appointment as the Head Coach of Super Eagles of Nigeria.

While I have had cause to express my displeasure over some issues that happened in the course of our participation in the AFCON 2013, which my team won by the grace of God, especially concerning my relationship with the Nigerian Football Federation, I have since had opportunity to discuss the various issues with all concerned. I am therefore pleased to say that I have reconsidered my position and have decided to continue with my job.

I want to thank the Honourable Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, for his swift and kind intervention.

Signed
Stephen Okechukwu Keshi

The Last 10 Popes - Malachy's Prophecies

The Pope announced his resignation today. For those of you interested in stuff like this...read and be amazed! :-)

*Benedict XVI is the 111th pope in the prophecy of Saint Malachy. Petrus Romanus will be 112th**

Born in 1094 A.D. at Armagh, Ireland, Saint Malachy is also known as: Maolmhaodhog ua Morgair; Maol Maedoc; and Malachy O'Morgair. He died as he himself predicted, on November 2, 1148 at Clairvaux, France. Malachy was canonized the first Irish Saint in the Catholic Church by Pope Clement III in 1190 A.D.

In 1139 AD, a man named St. Malachy was given a prophetic vision. He saw all of the Catholic Popes that would come in the future. He wrote down a short description of each one. Throughout history, each one has been accurate. He foresaw 112 Popes until Jesus returned and that # 111 would see the beginning of the tribulation. The current Pope is # 111. Here's a link to the story and a reprint of the story as well:

It gets more interesting...:-)

Britney Spears ditches the Grammys, goes shopping instead

There was one superstar missing from last night's Grammy Awards — she went shopping instead.

While the biggest stars in pop and rock were putting the finishing touches to their hair and make-up backstage at the Staples Center — eight-time nominee Britney Spears was 40 miles away at a suburban shopping mall.
Eight years after she scooped her only Grammy Award for Toxic — Brit chose to detox with some treatments at Forever Bella Skin and Tanning in Thousand Oaks, rather than mingle with the likes of Rihanna, Adele and her ex Justin Timberlake.
The 31-year-old was snapped strolling through the Village Glen mall dressed down in a pair of untrendy stonewash jeans and a lowcut tiger-stripe top — with heavy black make-up around her eyes.

She's reportedly in talks to perform a nightly show at a Las Vegas casino. Two Vegas hot spots are said to be tussling over the chance to secure a residency with the star - Caesar's Palace and Planet Hollywood.

If she signs on the dotted line, she'll earn millions, following in the footsteps of the likes of Celine Dion, Bette Midler and Elton John — who's in the middle of a residency at the gambling Mecca.

Culled from The Sun, UK.

Beyonce Covers Vogue's March Issue

In her recent interview with Vogue, Beyonce admits she doesn't read comment sections on websites to avoid getting her feelings hurt...

From Vogue Magazine

Beyoncé cannot insulate herself from every crazy and idle rumor. When she encounters a story about herself on the Internet, she reads only the story. She stops there. She doesn’t let herself scroll down into the comments sections, which have a tendency to become cruel, ad hominem free-for-alls.

“Don’t scroll down!” Beyoncé advises, laughing. “You’re definitely going to get your feelings hurt.”
