Usher gets into a fight in the club over fiancee, gets punched in the eye

The singer got into a fight on New Year's eve inside
Miami's hotspot E11even and shared a pic of his bloody
red eye on his instagram page, writing that the guy he
fought with came out worse. Well, a source told MTO what
happened...
Usher was in VIP with his girlfriend, and some drunk
white guy was screaming disrespectful things
towards Usher, trying to get his attention. When that
didn't work, he started saying nasty things about his
[fiancee Grace]. The guy called her ugly. To Usher's
credit, he didn't act like a b*tch. He broke through
security and started fighting the guy. Usher f*cked
him up. It was like a four piece - Usher must be a
boxer or something because the punches were very
fast. I don't know how Usher's eye got like that
because I didn't see White dude even tough Usher.

Appeal Court frees Erastus Akingbola of N47.5billion theft charge

According to a report by PM News , a Court of Appeal sitting
in Lagos has quashed the 22-count charge brought against
the former Managing Director of Intercontinental Bank Plc,
Dr. Erastus Akingbola by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC). The EFCC had alleged that
Akingbola stole N47.5 billion belonging to the bank. The
report below...
Ruling on Akingbola’s application on jurisdiction, the
court presided over by Justice Amina Augie held that
the High Court of Lagos State presided over by
Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo lacked jurisdiction to
entertain the suit filed against him by the commission
Justice Augie said it amounted to miscarriage of justice for
the lower court to have dismissed Akingbola’s application
challenging its jurisdiction on the matter.
“The appeal is meritorious and allowed,” she declared.
“I am convinced that the lower court refused to align itself
with the decision of this court in Nwosu’s case,” she further
held.
Akingbola and his co-defendant, Bayo Dada, had filed two
separate applications challenging the jurisdiction of the
court to hear the 22-count charge filed against them by the
EFCC.
But, the lower court, in its ruling on 2 May, 2014 dismissed
their applications.
Justice Lawal-Akapo had then held that the charges
preferred against the defendants were within its
competence and jurisdiction to determine.
Dissatisfied with the ruling of the high court, Akingbola and
Dada approached the Appeal Court, praying that the trial
court’s decision be set aside.
Delievering the judgement, Justice Augie declared that the
lower court fell into serious error by not abiding by the
decision on Nwosu’s case adding, “it is most unfair and is
an injustice”.
According to her, the lower court has no option than to
follow the decision of the higher court on Nwosu’s case.
“The point must be made that the decision of this court in
Nwosu’s case was based on proof of evidence.”
The judge noted that all the charges against the defendants
arose out of capital market transactions.
“Only federal high court is conferred with the exclusive
jurisdiction to try cases of capital market transaction,” she
stressed.
The appellate court held that the lower court owes it a duty
to compare and contrast the documents cited by parties.
“It is its duty to examine materials brought before him. It is
the role of the judge to do justice in adjudicating all the
cases brought before him.
“One sided justice would amount to injustice and favouring
one side.
“The proof of evidence was there but the trial judge at the
lower court accused the defendants of not furnishing him
with the documents.
“He has failed in his duty.”
Justice Augie further held that the appeal filed by the
defendants has nothing to do with evidence, noting that the
lower court failed to go through argument canvassed before
it assumed jurisdiction on the matter.
She emphasised that the issue of jurisdiction should not
have been toyed with by the lower court.
“I agree with the appellant that the lower court ought to
have gone through the proof of evidence.
“There is no way a charge of stealing can stand without
going through the proof of evidence,” she declared.

I’m coming up with anti-corruption plan - President Jonathan says

Speaking during a special New Year service at the Dunamis
International Gospel Centre, in Abuja yesterday January
1st, President Jonathan said his administration is coming
up with plans and programmes to fight corruption in
Nigeria. What he said below...
"There are two main problems confronting us as a
nation: The issue of insecurity in the North where we
have the Boko Haram terrorists and in the South
where we have commercial kidnapping. The next
thing that people worry about after security is the
issue of corruption.We are coming out with
programmes and plans to clean up. These are things
that you don’t just use a magical wand to wave off,
otherwise even before I became the President, there
wouldn’t have been corruption in Nigeria.
“It is not just about shouting corruption. It is not
about looking at one person, arrest the person and
show him on television. It is about strengthening
institutions and coming up with credible plans to
make sure that anybody who gets involved with
corruption, the system must have a way of detecting
him and punishing him.
“Until you put such a system on ground, you cannot
talk about eradicating corruption, you will just be
celebrating corruption. You would have noticed that
from Christmas to New Year, at least, it has been
calm. It did not happen by accident.
“It happened because you have been praying for this
country and the government has also been doing
something. We do not need to announce what we are
doing. With your prayers, we will surely get there. We
will continue to come up with programmes that will
help the ordinary people.
“The same way we won the war against Ebola, we
shall win the terror war. 2015 is a turning point
because of the elections. Some people will not mind if
half of the country get burnt because of their ambition.
“I always say that we must have a country first, we
must have a people first before talking about
ambition. We must pray that God should give us the
wisdom to do things with some decorum and we
should not compromise the lives of the people for
ambition.
“I always say that my ambition and the ambition of
any politician for that matter, is not worth the blood of
the smallest Nigerian.”
“For you to achieve anything, you must have a clear
vision. Even if you look at what we have been doing
as a nation, you will really see that before this time
when the country used to have this 25 years plan, the
budget was based on 25 years clear plan for the
country. So you know where you are going for 25
years.
“Then it was broken down into five years plan and
annual budget and we knew where we were going.
But after some time, things collapsed and we run
government on emergency basis and you see
government start wobbling.
“We are going back to those good days when we had
vision. We have plan for agriculture, we have plan for
industry, we have plan for automobile and many other
areas. If you have a vision, any proposal that comes
in, no matter how good they are, must fall into your
vision for it to go through. With your prayers, surely
as a nation, we will get to where our vision will take
us to.
“Having passed through school and being in
government for quite some time, I have realised that
for you to achieve anything, you must have a clear
vision. If you have a clear vision, even if you don’t get
the exact target, you will get something close to the
target."
