OMG!!! USA 'aiding and abetting; Boko Haram members - Buhari

President Buhari says that the US is 'aiding and abetting' terror group Boko Haram by refusing to supply arms to Nigeria. A US law called the Leahy Law prevents the US government from selling arms to countries which fail to tackle human rights abuses. President Buhari made the accusation while addressing members of the US Institute of Peace yesterday July 22nd

"In our efforts at combating the activities of Boko Haram, the new Government has sought and obtained the support of not only our neighbours other international friends and partners. Regrettably, the blanket application of the Leahy Law by the United States on the grounds of unproven allegations of human rights violations levelled against our forces has denied us access to appropriate strategic weapons to prosecute the war against the insurgents. Our forces have remained largely impotent because they do not possess the appropriate weapons and technology which they could have had, had the so-called human rights violations not been an obstacle. Unwittingly, and I dare say, unintentionally, the application of the Leahy Law amendment by the U. S. Government has aided and abetted the Boko Haram terrorist group in the prosecution of its extremist ideology and hate, the indiscriminate killings and maiming of civilians, in raping of women and girls, and in their other heinous crimes.”he said

CBN’s pragmatic policy on forex control

The exclusion of 40 items from the interbank foreign exchange market by CBN is pragmatic and should be applauded by well meaning Nigerians and friends of Nigeria. Pragmatism is to think about solving a problem in a practical and sensible way rather than by having fixed ideas, theories and ideologies. It is about adjusting to unfolding reali­ties in a dynamic and changing world. The excluded items include tooth­pick, palm kernel/ palm oil products, margarine, cement, rice, private jets, among others. With the policy, import­ers of the items would have to source foreign exchange from private sourc­es. It was necessitated by the need to preserve our foreign reserves and en­courage local production.

The Power of Inspiration - by Femi Fani-Kayode

Article written by former minister, Femi Olukayode. Read below...

Dark is the heart that weeps and bleeds. Pure is the spirit that overcomes pain. Free is the soul that activates faith. Pure is the joy that true love brings. Yet most important of all is the power of inspiration. That grace and strength that encouraging words, steeped in knowledge and experience, bring.

Chris Brown files paternity and child custody documents for daughter

Chris Brown filed legal documents on Wednesday seeking to establish paternity of his daughter Royalty.

The 26-year-old singer filed the documents in Houston, Texas in order to resolve custody and child support issues with the girl's mother Nia Guzman, according to an article on Tuesday by TMZ.

Brown and Guzman have been at odds over child support payments and visitations.

Chris Brown who has been spending so much time with his daughter Royalty, says he has had it with his baby mama Nia Guzman's child support and custody demands, so he's asking a judge to intervene.
Chris and Nia have been at war over 1-year-old Royalty for a long time now. She's demanding $15k a month in child support, but Chris Brown doesn't think it is a fair amount.
Due to this reason, he has filed legal documents in Houston to establish paternity of baby Royalty. That will give him the right to fight Nia over support and custody.
Chis who has been paying Nia $2,500  per month, believes it is a fair amount. If he ascertains that he is Royalty's father, he will then go to court to file for custody and a fair amount for child support to Nia.
He says Nia has been denying him the right to see his daughter, so he wants a judge to get involved and set guidelines for both of them

Unbelievable!!! Saudi Arabian Prince pledges his $32 billion fortune to charity

The nephew of the late King Abdullah, Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud, has been so successful in business that he is sometimes referred to as the Arabian Warren Buffett, after the US billionaire. 

Alwaleed who made billions investing in American, European and Middle Eastern companies is donating his $32 billion fortune to philanthropy, according to a statement released Wednesday.
Alwaleed said he wants his money to go to humanitarian causes after his death. The release did not identify specific efforts, but said the board of trustees at Alaweed Philanthropies, which he currently heads, will craft a plan to spend the money on initiatives related to healthcare, education and poverty.

"Philanthropy is an intrinsic part of my Islamic faith," Alwaleed said in the press release. "With this pledge, I am honoring my life-long commitment to what matters most, helping to build a more peaceful, equitable and sustainable world for generations to come."

Forbes ranks Alwaleed at the 34th richest person in the world. His major investments have included Twitter and Citigroup, as well as media companies like Time Warner (CNN's parent company) and Disney. 

The business magnate said he has already funneled $3.5 billion to his charity for initiatives such as housing, gender equality and disaster relief. Alwaleed Philanthropies has also established centers and programs at several prestigious universities, including Harvard and Cambridge and partnered with charities like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Alwaleed's press release from Wednesday quotes Gates saying,

"Prince Alwaleed's generous commitment promises to significantly extend the great work that his foundation is already doing." 

For those worried how he will manage if he gives away all his money, the prince will be holding on to his publicly-listed investment business.

"This is very much separate from my ownership in Kingdom Holding," the prince said at the announcement.

Kingdom Holding, of which the prince is the majority shareholder, has holdings in a number of businesses, including banking and financial services, property businesses, media companies and internet and technology firms.

The prince has been married four times and has children.
