President Goodluck Jonathan has questioned the
March 28 presidential elections which proclaimed General Buhari as the winner.

questioned the results of the March 28 presidential election, saying “the
Peoples Democratic Party couldn’t have got those kinds of scores” it had in
some places.

may sound as if I’m exaggerating when I say that a high-tech, heated, warm-water-spraying
bidet toilet seat ruined me for regular toilets, but I’m not. I don’t know how
you guys do it. I look at your normal toilets, the ones with seats that are as
cold as ice, the ones that don’t spray and buff your nethers with a soothing
shower of cleansing H2O, and I shake my head. I look at your dry-wiping ways,
and I wonder how your mom raised you. Don’t you want to be clean? Don’t you
ever feel ... not so fresh?
“You
don’t try to clean the rest of your body with a dry towel, right?” said Jerry Bougher,
the marketing manager for toilet seats at Kohler, the plumbing fixtures
company. Say you’re covered with mud, he said. “Will you clean yourself up with
a bunch of paper? No, obviously, you’ll take a shower. It comes down to the
same thing with this. Here in the United States we’ve used dry toilet paper to
clean ourselves, and it doesn’t always do the job effectively. Cleaning with
water is kind of like taking a shower. It’s just, you know, cleaner.”
Speaking
in front of 20,000 people in St. Peter’s Square on April 29, Pope Francis
referenced the teachings of the bible to make some strong statements about
gender equality.
Most
notably, he commented on the unfair position of women relative to men regarding
wage disparity:
As
Christians, we must become more demanding in this regard: for example, [by]
supporting with decision the right to equal retribution for equal work;
disparity is a pure scandal.

TIME, “he was incredibly brave.”
Early
adopters of the new Apple Watch have found that the device malfunctions when
worn by people with wrist tattoos.

issue was first pointed out on Reddit by a tattooed user who complained that
his watch would regularly lose connection, and report inaccurate heart rate
results.
Scores
of other users then reported similar issues.

Watch requests a security PIN immediately after detecting that it has left an
owner's wrist, meaning that those affected are forced to repeatedly enter their
code.
Darker
tattoos appear to cause more problems for the device than light inkings.

National Petroleum Corporation funds allegedly looted by the present
administration and his petroleum minister Diezani Alison-Maduekeas claimed by Sanusi

She said “Buhari wants to probe the poported missing 20 billion as his no 1 priority .well i pity for Nigerians who thinks Buhari is the change they looking for.
