A billion naira hotel belonging to Nigeria's first lady Patience Jonathan under construction in Bayelsa State. Lying next to it is an elephant project that could not be completed since tenure of corrupt former governor of the State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha. President Goodluck Jonathan while he was governor of Bayelsa State took over the project but also did not finish it. The first lady's new hotel is only few months away from completion and almost ready for business.Also in Otueke the family compound of the Jonathans is being fully guarded by military men.They are spending billions on themselves and the masses are getting slimmer day-by-day

#VABlog. Allah Said We Should Kill More this Year -- Boko Haram Leader
The leader of the Boko Haram sect,
Abubakar Shekau,has appeared in a
new video,promising to"decapitate and mutilate" more people in the name of Allah and ridiculing the United States for putting a bounty on his head, saying,"You can't in any
way harm me."Shekau, who has been dubbed a "global terrorist" by the U.S and twice been declared killed
by the Nigerian military, claimed
responsibility for a December 20
attack on a tank battalion barracks
in Bama, Borno State.
"Brothers pulverised 21 armoured tanks. People were killed in their multitudes, bodies scattered all over," he said, adding that his forces "blew out the brains" of soldiers who tried to hide under their blankets."Had Allah allowed
us to eat them we would have eaten
them but we are not cannibals," he
added, according to reports. "This is a victory from Allah."The video showed the terrorist leader seated on a mat surrounded by masked fighters. It included footage
ostensibly filmed of the attack, with burning buildings and fighter jets and armed, masked men walking around them.
Christians,We really need to pray because the antichrist is here already..

#VABlog. Is 'Skelewu' really Spiritual??
SINCE pop star Davido released the video of his hit track, Skelewu, it has continued to generate controversy, particularly because of the money spent on it and the claim among the directors over whose work was the best. However, the latest about the song is that, it
might be a spiritual song,considering the sad incidents connected to it.It will be recalled that Davido allegedly tweeted some days ago that Skelewu is spiritual.With this disclosure, many are beginning to think that he may have inadvertently dropped a hint about the song, against the backdrop of the sad incidents involving the two music video directors, Sesan Ogunro and Moe Musa. The two recently
lost their dads.Sesan's dad, Sesan Ogunro Snr., was shot by armed robbers while he was returning from his church's Christmas Carol with his family. He was rushed to the hospital, where he later died. Moe Musa's dad died after a horrific gas
explosion in his kitchen, here in Lagos.

#VAB. Heavyweight boxer Vitali Klitschko out to quit boxing for politics
Boxer Vitali Klitschko is the latest sportsman attempting to turn his hand to politics as he runs for office in Ukraine.It is a little unfortunate that the most enduring
conflation of politics and pugilism was made by Idi Amin. "Boxing is like politics — you try to knock out your opponents," said the butcher of Uganda, famously photographed by the late Monte Fresco as he engaged in mock fisticuffs with Ian
Wooldridge.Such wisdom has more recently been tested by Manny Pacquiao, who has embraced public service in his native Philippines with the ardour one might expect of a figure anointed by his people as a
semi-deity. And yet it is Ukraine's Vitali Klitschko, who, at 42, confirmed this week that he had all but turned his back on the ring, who
could savour the greatest success in a very different form of canvassing

or other roadway conditions as causing the car in
which Walker was a passenger to slam into a light
pole and tree.
The car, a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, is
notoriously hard to handle.
"We're looking at speed and speed alone," a law
enforcement official with knowledge of the
investigation told News reporters. The official
was not authorized to speak publicly about the
ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of
anonymity.
The Nov. 30 crash also killed the driver,
Walker's friend and financial adviser Roger
Rodas.
Rodas, 38, and Walker, 40, co-owned an auto
racing team. Rodas also was a professional driver
who competed in 10 Pirelli World Challenge GTS
races this year.
Investigators with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department have calculated a range of
the speed at which they think the car was
traveling, but they won't firm up that number
until Porsche engineers come to California next
month in the hope of extracting information from
onboard data collectors.
The official would not disclose the current speed
estimate. It is calculated through a formula that
uses factors including the arc of tire marks from
the scene and how well the tires would grip the
roadway, said Chris Kauderer, chairman of the
California Association of Accident Reconstruction
Specialists.
The sheriff's office has said speed was a factor
in the one-car crash in an industrial park about
30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. A
spokesman on Wednesday had nothing to add.
Though the car exploded in flames, its three data
recorders survived and may produce information
to pinpoint the speed. If they produce usable
data, the recorders would be able to tell
investigators whether seat belts were fastened,
air bags deployed and whether Rodas hit the
brakes before impact.
Because the car is so rare, investigators will need
Porsche's help to retrieve the data. A spokesman
for the car company declined to comment.
The official said sheriff's investigators also have
enlisted the help of California Highway Patrol
accident reconstruction specialists, who tested
the brakes on the wrecked car and found that at
least one of the tires was made in 2004. The CHP
did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
The official told AP that the Porsche appeared to
have negotiated a curve in the road successfully
before crashing.
"They were well out of the curve when they lost
control," the official said.

the "Fast & Furious" star. The investigation
also has ruled out debris

#VAB. Open Letter To Senator Yerima
Good day Sir,
Hope work is going on fine.I don't know you in person but with the things I read online about you,You are well known to me.
Sir,I'm very much disappointed in you with the way teenage girls are been treated by you and it baffles me that at this 21st century,A man of your calibre can still endanger the lives of future generation in compulsory marriages. I have been to the north where teenage girls suffer from Cancer of the Vagina and Vagina Tear because of Men like you. A girl of 14 years old is meant to be with her parent,at least planning to round up her secondary school education after which she can plan her life and become something in this generation. But Your love for small kids made the whole world antagonise you on your proposed bill to legalise child marriage. You were once a Governor and you have matured women has wives but come to think of it,The 17 year old girl you just divorced,what do you think the girl will do with her life again? You just killed a star.Senator,You are suppose to be role model to people but you are encouraging total rubbish and irrational acts. I presume at your age,you have grandchildren older than 15years.
Please stop using your power as a rich and influential man to spoil the leaders of tomorrow's generation.
I hope you will rethink and let your conscience judge you.
Thank you,
Vince

#VAB. “You’re Bloody Idiots”- Angry Obasanjo Blasts Vanguard Over Daughter, Iyabo’s Open Letter
With echoes of the open letter to former
president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo from his
daughter, Iyabo, reverberating nationwide, the
daughter yesterday gave reasons she gave up on
her father ever changing.
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo spoke against the
background of mixed reactions from Yoruba
elders and politicians on the import of the letter
which she said was the last communication with
her father.
The former president himself was furious when
approached by Vanguard, yesterday, as he hurled
inventive at the newspaper. The exchange
between Vanguard and the former president ran
thus:
Vanguard: Sir, we tried reaching you all through
yesterday, to no avail, over the letter written by
your daughter, Iyabo, to you.
Chief Obasanjo: You are a bloody idiot, you have
published the paper and you are now looking for
me, you are an idiot, don't call me again. When
Iyabo finishes you in court…. (hangs up).
Iyabo Obasanjo nevertheless flayed the
orchestrated attempt in the social media by a
network of associates of her father to separate
her from the letter.
