PDP Crisis Thicken:Tukur Declares War On New Faction...President Goodluck Rejects Obasanjo's Peace Mission

                                                                       Left: Tukur, Right: GEJ,Obasanjo

Y'all know there are two PDP factions now so to distinguish them we have to call one - President Jonathan's PDP and the one that broke away last weekend - former VP Atiku Abubakar's PDP. So the chairman of President Jonathan's PDP Bamanga Tukur today held a press conference in Abuja where he threatened members of Atiku's PDP with suspension, called them impostors and said the police should regard them as such. Lol. 2015 will be interesting. What he said at the press conference below.

Our reason for being here is to neither inform you without any iota of doubt that the Peoples Democratic Party has no faction and there is neither room nor reason whatsoever for such a claim under any guise.

The PDP has only one duly elected National Executive Committee (NEC) under my Chairmanship. I wish therefore to state with all emphasis that any group of persons parading themselves as leaders of NEC or any other organ of our party are impostors and I urge all Nigerians, especially the security agencies and other institutions of democracy to regard them as such.

Let me state categorically that the PDP as the sole custodian of the sacred mandate of over 160 million Nigerians and who in the last fourteen years has lifted high the banner of democracy will not fold its arms while some  undemocratic and unpatriotic elements destroy our common destiny by causing divisions and confusion among the people.

Consequently, we shall ensure that any person who is not duly elected into any leadership position in our great party and has not been duly assigned any role but goes ahead to arrogate such to himself will be made to face the full wrath of the law.

Similarly, all persons elected on the platform of our great party at all levels who identify with these enemies of the oneness and greatness of our party shall have their seats declared vacant as required by law.

We shall leave no stone unturned to ensure that such persons and indeed any other individual who attempts to subvert the leadership of the PDP shall reap in full, the consequences of such actions.

I wish to emphasize that the PDP has adequate mechanism for internal conflict resolution. All party members are therefore advised to ventilate their grievances through this medium.

There is only one lawfully recognized PDP and I am firmly in charge,” Bamanga Tukur declared.

Meanwhile 26 Senators and at least 57 members of the House of Representatives have declared loyalty to “The New PDP” chaired by Abubakar Baraje.

TB Joshua's Synagogue Attracts More Visitors Than Buckingham Palace

According to a report in UK’s Guardian Newspaper today, Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua’s popularity exceeds that of famous London landmarks and tourist attraction centres Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London.

The report by The Guardian's West African correspondent Monica Mark reads:
 “In Africa's largest metropolis, the district of Ikotun Egbe has turned into a boom town. The draw? Temitope Balogun Joshua, one of Nigeria's richest "super-pastors", whose church attracts 50,000 worshippers weekly – more than the combined number of visitors to Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London.”


The article titled, ‘Lagos businesses cash in on lure of super-pastor TB Joshua,’ chronicles the enterprising antics of local businessmen and hoteliers who are utilising Joshua’s popularity and the scores of foreign worshippers flocking weekly to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN).

According to the Guardian, “Sparkling new hotels rise incongruously among the shacks. At one, a new chef has recently been employed. ‘He can cook food from Singapore, because we were having a lot of guests from there who struggle with Nigerian food,’ says the manager, Ruky, at a reception desk framed by pictures of Joshua.”

Last month, Nigeria’s Punch Newspaper similarly reported the rise in business around Ikotun-Egbe, courtesy of The SCOAN’s unique services. The article, titled, ‘TB Joshua’s neighbours convert homes to hotels’, explained how homeowners close to the church were leaving the vicinity in droves to live elsewhere while renting out their houses to foreign visitors. According to the reports, international calling centres with foreign visitor discounts are also doing a roaring trade, alongside plastic chair rentals that cater for church overspill.

The SCOAN has been hailed for its impact on Nigerian tourism, recent statistics from the Nigerian Immigration Service revealing that out of every ten foreign travellers coming into Nigeria, six of them are bound for The SCOAN.

Woow. Just Wow.

See 27 Year Old Blond Bombshell Who Is World's Bendiest Woman

The world’s bendiest woman and record holder can effortlessly contort herself into the most improbable shapes.
Russian-born Zlata – real name Julia Guenthel – can twist herself like a snake into the most extreme poses imaginable - and has broken numerous world records for her flexibility.
In these sassy new photos, the 27-year-old can be seen in a skin-tight red PVC catsuit contorted in one of her most difficult poses yet.

Zlata, who has been contorting herself since she was four years old, is also a former gymnast.

Zlata is so incredibly flexible she can cram herself into a 50cm squared box.

The  5’8 contortionist says she doesn’t watch what she eats to stay in such good shape but has to work out rigorously every day.

She said: “Doing these poses just feels very natural to me.

“Sometimes it can get a bit uncomfortable if I have to hold a pose for a long time in photo shoots.

“But I think that's like anyone who sits down for a long time - their muscles get stiff.”

Please o,  do NOT try this at home.

Former Totteham Player Gareth Bale Becomes Most Expensive Player In Football History Following Record Breaking £85m Transfer To Real Madrid

Gareth Bale is the most expensive player in football history after he completed a £85 million transfer from Tottenham to Real Madrid.

The Welshman has signed a six year contract with Real, who have set the world record fee for a player for the fifth consecutive time.

Bale, 24, follows former Real legends Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Káka and Cristiano Ronaldo into the history books, six years after he joined (my team) Tottenham for £10m.

85 million pounds is what you call an 'obscene amount of money,' lol. Good for him.
