Reno Omokri Exposed As Author Of Fake Document Linking Ousted CBN Governor To Boko Haram
By SaharaReporters, New York
Reno Omokri, the outspoken Special Assistant on Social Media to President Goodluck Jonathan, was today unmasked as the brain behind a fraudulent attempt to link Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to the recent spike in Boko Haram violence in Borno and Yobe States. In one of the recent attacks, Boko Haram terrorists slaughtered some 60 secondary school students at their boarding house.
Posing as “Wendell Simlin,” Mr. Omokri circulated a Word document linking the former CBN Governor to the recent attacks. The ruse was however uncovered when some Internet-savvy Nigerians traced the IP address of the source document and it turned out that it had been authored and circulated by Mr. Omokri.

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton call it quit after 8 years of marriage
The lines are no longer blurred as Robin Thicke, 36, and Paula Patton, 38, have separated after eight years of marriage, Yahoo confirms.
"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the couple said in a statement.
The high school sweethearts met in Los Angeles when Thicke was just 14 and Patton, 16. They married in 2005 and welcomed their only child, son Julian Fuego, in April 2010.

President GEJ is surrounded by 'incompetent' frauds - Sanusi
Nigeria's former central bank chief Lamido Sanusi on Sunday described the president who ousted him as a simple man trying to do well who has been undermined by incompetent and fraudulent aides.
Sanusi, widely respected by economists in Nigeria and abroad, was suspended by President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday over alleged financial misconduct, a move seen by many analysts as politically motivated.
Sanusi has accused the state Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) of misappropriating $20 billion (14.5 billion euros), allegations that earned him powerful enemies across the government.

Pastor Cho Yong-gi Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison for Embezzlement
The Rev. Cho Yong-gi, founder of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, South Korea, one of the largest Pentecostal churches in the world, has been sentenced to three years in prison for embezzling church funds.
Cho was found guilty of causing $12 million in losses to the church by having officials in 2002 buy stocks owned by his eldest son, Cho Hee-jun, at four times the market value, Yonhap reported on Thursday.
The 78-year-old pastor, who founded the church in 1958, will also have to pay about $4.6 million in fines. The junior Cho will also be serving a three-year prison term for colluding with his father, the Seoul Central District Court ruled.
Cho was also found to have been evading 35 billion won (US $3.3 million) in taxes. The elderly pastor first came under investigation in 2011 when he was accused by 29 church elders of embezzling church funds and privatizing church assets.
Cho was apparently given a light sentence by the Seoul court because of his long-standing contributions to society, and will have a five-year stay of execution.

Facebook buys messaging app WhatsApp for $19B
Facebook is buying mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion in cash and stock, by far the company's largest acquisition and bigger than any that Google, Microsoft or Apple have ever done.
The world's biggest social networking company said Wednesday that it is paying $12 billion in Facebook stock and $4 billion in cash for WhatsApp. In addition, the app's founders and employees — 55 in all — will be granted restricted stock worth $3 billion that will vest over four years after the deal closes.
The deal translates to roughly 11 percent of Facebook's market value. In comparison, Google's biggest deal was its $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility, while Microsoft's largest was Skype at $8.5 billion. Apple, meanwhile, has never done a deal above $1 billion.

How 45 Directors At The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Colluded With Nigeria’s Attorney General And Minister To Reverse Their Retirement
Sahara Reporters
Some 45 directors at the federal ministry of foreign affairs have colluded with the highly corrupt Attorney General of the federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke and the supervising minister of foreign affairs, Professor Viola Onwuliri to frustrate their retirement from plum foreign ambassadorial positions in a situation that may yet redefine retirement of federal civil servants in Nigeria.
The AGF interfered in their retirement after receiving hefty sums of bribe money from the career civil servants. AGF Adoke, who is one of the most remarkably corrupt ministers in the cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan, issued a memo to the president requesting that 45 directors who are currently acting as ambassadors in several foreign missions who had earlier retired in December 2013 after completing an 8 year tenure be recalled to continue as directors.

SSS barred from all International airport
Operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) have been directed by the Ministry of Aviation headed by Stella Oduah, to stay away from all the nation’s international airports.
The order, which was communicated to the SSS leadership a few weeks ago, was said to have shocked the operatives. The new order might affect the ability of the SSS to perform its duties of preventing, detecting, and investigating threats of espionage, subversion, sabotage and terrorist activities, especially at the airports.
The SSS Deputy Director, Public Relations, Marilyn Ogar, could not be reached for comments on Sunday as she did not respond to calls to her mobile telephone line. The Ministry of Aviation refused to either confirm or deny the withdrawal of the SSS operatives from the airports.

Two Islamic clerics lost their lives on Saturday after their jeep, a Toyota Pathfinder with number plate FKJ 516 AL collided with a bus and plunged into a canal at the Iyana Ipaja end of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway. The victims, Alhaji Akinsola Al-Ameen and Muyideen Thiamiyu, were coming back from Ikorodu when their vehicle had a tyre burst around 10pm and the driver, lost control of the vehicle.

A relative of Al-Ameen, who preferred to remain anonymous because he was not authorised to speak on behalf of the family, said the clerics were on their way to the Ifo area of Ogun State when the unfortunate incident occurred. Al-Ameen, 64 was the owner of the vehicle and the Zonal Missioner of Shams ul Deen, an Islamic society while the driver of the vehicle, Thiamiyu, 50 was the Zonal Missioner of the Shasha branch of Shams ul Deen.
“Both of them had gone for a religious programme in Ikorodu and were on their way back to Ifo when the accident occurred.”
