Leave Former Minister Alone, Probe Me Instead; Obasanjo Challenges President Jonathan!!


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo said he is ready for a probe of his eight years administration instead of the present administration descending on his cabinet ministers.


Mr. Obasanjo made this criticism at the 50th birthday thanksgiving of former minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili in Abuja. He said he is ready to account for his stewardship.

He said if the present government finds anything wrong with his administration, he would bear the responsibility… “I have always said this, whatever you want to blame my government, blame me, don’t blame any of those people who assisted me”… for anything you want to say was wrong then, I was the one in charge” This was his reaction to the move to probe Mrs Ezekwesili by the Independence Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and challenge thrown to the former World Bank VP by the presidency to account for her tenure as Minister of Education

Now Baba have said his mind!... What are waiting for the present Government’s response o!!! … Our hands are crossed!!!

"I Have 99 Problems and now Jay Z is One" - Barack Obama blast Jay Z

The annual White house Correspondent Dinner is typically a light-hearted affair and this year's installment was no exception. The dinner tends to serve as an opportunity for the President to show off his humor and pop culture as these events tend to be ripe with entertaining moments

Prior to Obama stepping to the podium, the crowd in attendance was treated to Dj's Khalid's "All I Do Is Win" and Obama clearly enjoyed the moment as he synchronize his hand gesture to the match of the chorus and we normally know him as a lover of good hip hop music.

Then came the moment as Obama says "How do you like my entrance music" he jokingly asked the audience waiting for those assembled to sit before going into the rest of the speech

Later on, there come the moment of clarity where He had a chance to take a slick jab at Jay Z who accused a media frenzy with his visit to Cuba and subsequent "open letter" talking about issues that he has to deal with that are out of control and we know America is not in good stand with Cuba. Obama said "It's unbelievable... I have 99 problems and now Jay Z is one of them"... What??? They are best of friends mehnn!! and we know Jay Z don't play with his business. Is Jay really crossing the line? and we are aware that Beyonce created a controversy some time back which lead to the opposite party calling for Obama's resignation when she apparently lip-synch the National Anthem.


Well we are yet to hear Jay Z's part of the story or response. We will keep you guys posted.
