B’Haram Link: Apologise Or Face Litigation, Buhari Tells PDP
A former head of state and a chief of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Peoples Democratic Party, to retract its wild accusation linking him with the Boko Haram terrorist acts, tender an unreserved public apology to him or face a legal action.
In a statement personally signed in Kaduna on Thursday Buhari said, “I cannot sit back and allow my image, and that of my political party be smeared by falsehood in the name of politics.”
He said the widely publicised and very serious allegations made against him by the PDP and its spokesman, Olisa Metuh, to the effect that his utterances were responsible for the current state of insecurity and terrorism bedeviling Nigeria, were absolutely without basis.
The former Head of State said, ”To support his claim, Metuh engaged in twisted logic and outright distortion – which he called facts – in which he said that I, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, beckoned on my ‘supporters to go on lynching spree’ should I lose the 2011 presidential election, as a result of which ‘an unprecedented violence broke out claiming the lives of hundreds of innocent people’.
”I take very serious exception to this grave accusation against me by the PDP Publicity Secretary. It is a false allegation aimed at tarnishing my image and reputation in the hope of destroying my political and electoral standings, and that of my party, the APC, in the country.
”Firstly, it is public knowledge that Boko Haram as a terror organisation long preceded the 2011 presidential elections. My utterances or lack of them on the 2011 presidential election could not therefore have created nor sustained the Boko Haram insurgency.

Nobody can Islamise Nigeria— Sultan
The Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, on Sunday said there were no plans to turn Nigeria into an Islamic nation.
Abubakar, who is also the President-General, Jamatu Nasril Islam (JNI), made this known at the Golden Jubilee lecture of the JNI in Kaduna.
“Nobody can Islamise Nigeria, if Allah wanted he would have made everybody Muslims, so also with Christianity. God would have made everybody Christian if He wanted.
He stressed the need for the people to set aside ethno-religious differences and be committed toward peace and development of the nation.
The Sultan said JNI criticism of certain policies of the present government was a wakeup call for government or those in leadership positions “to do what is right’’.
He said that JNI’s action was not aimed at fighting the government or any group or religion.
Abubakar, however, decried the insecurity that had pervaded many parts of the nation, especially the North-East by the Boko Haram insurgents.
He said that the activities of the insurgents should not be seen as an attempt by Muslims to prosecute Christians or turn Nigeria into an Islamic country.
Abubakar, therefore, appealed to Christians and other faithful to join hands with Muslims to tackle the present security challenges and other problems facing the country.
He also urged them to see Islam as a peaceful religion.
Vice President Namadi Sambo, in his goodwill message, said the present administration would continue to support JNI in its programmes.
Sambo reiterated commitment of the Federal Government in tackling insecurity and illiteracy in the country.

Nicki Minaj Wears Sexy MTV Movie Awards Dress With Major Slits, No Underwear
Looking good, Nicki Minaj! The "Super Bass" singer turned heads in a classy get-up on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, April 13.
Minaj, 31, wore a sexy chic look for the awards show in Los Angeles, sporting a black gown from Alexander McQueen. The tank dress, which showed off her ample cleavage, featured revealing side slits that upped the ante on the classic silhouette. The Young Money diva accessorized her McQueen number, which left little room for undergarments, with gold jewelry, wearing a cage necklace, drop hoop earrings, multiple arm cuffs and bracelets, and bold rings.
Minaj continued the understated look with her hair and makeup, rocking a nude lip and subtle winged eyeliner. She wore her lightly highlighted hair swept to the side and wavy.
The female rapper was at the awards show to promote her upcoming film, The Other Woman, which also stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton, and Leslie Mann. This will be Minaj's first feature film acting credit, as she previously lent her voice to 2012's Ice Age: Continental Drift.

Giant six-legged robot crab to walk the ocean floor
Crabster CR200
Monsters of the deep will have a man-made horror to contend with, as the Crabster CR200 is released into the oceans. Weighing over half a ton, the six-legged, crustacean-inspired robot is intended for the most dangerous undersea exploration.
Developed by the Korean Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST), the Crabster offers a solution to a longstanding problem. While propeller-driven craft do not work well in fierce tides, and divers are limited to calm, relatively shallow seas, the new machine mimics the design of crabs and lobsters that live in stormy waters but are still able to control their movements.
The Crazy New Cosmetic Surgery Trend Women Are Trying
It’s like a scene out of “Mean Girls” with women standing in front of a mirror critiquing their looks and complaining about various beauty issues: “My hips are huge, I hate my calves, my nail beds suck.” Well now there’s a new body part to start hating about yourself: your ear lobes.
According to the Daily Mail, plastic surgery offices are seeing a rise in ear lobe treatments. Yes, there’s a cosmetic treatment out there to lift sagging ear lobes, and women are flocking to have it done.
To give the appearance of more youthful ears, doctors inject lobes with a filler, like Juvederm or Restylane, which plumps up the ear lobe so it doesn’t droop. The real problem with this kind of treatment is it forces those of us who have never noticed our ears before to take a second look.
Would you ever consider a treatment like this?
