For every symptom of head ache and body pain we tell a friend, one consistent diagnosis comes to the fore – “I’m sure it’s just Malaria”. Malaria has become a normalcy in Nigeria that no one takes it very serious.

Bringing it home to Nigeria, the United States ambassador to Nigeria remarked during the just concluded World Malaria day that an estimated 100 million cases and 300,000 deaths from Malaria occur yearly in Nigeria. Clearly, Nigeria ranks highest in deaths resulting from Malaria.

Following a publication in a newspaper, alleging that 22 northern senators of the APC, who took part in the vote of confidence on the Senate President and other leaders of the Senate, were plotting to frustrate the present administration, the Senate has directed its Committee on Ethics and Privilege to investigate the allegations.

Stella Damasus sends loving message to her man, Daniel Ademinokan, as he turns a year older today. She wrote :

"@dabishop007 you are a blessing to many, a friend to all, a mentor to too many, a teacher to most, a brother to some, a father to so many, a motivator to all. To me, you are All these and many more. God bless you in all you do.
Thank you for being the best any woman could ever ask for. You are multi talented and extremely intelligent.

Meek Mill has finally broken his silence and released a diss track aimed at Drake. Meek's "Wanna Know" was premiered on Hot 97 last night.

This woman's photo of her with friends in her hometown of Wem in Shropshire, U.K., looks ordinary until you look closely at the window behind them.

"I truly believe there is a ghost woman and her baby in that window," Natasha Oliver, 22 said.

A middle-aged woman is currently recuperating in a Lagos hospital, after robbers stormed her rented apartment on the Lagos Island, during which she stabbed one of the assailants to death.

It was learnt that the woman, identified simply as Adenike, and her family were attacked on Tuesday at about 2am on Eyin Iga Street. It was gathered that the robbers, who were armed with knives and cutlasses, reportedly gained entrance into the house after damaging the gates.

It was also learnt that when the robbers got to Adenike’s apartment, a struggle ensued between Adenike and one of the robbers, identified as Quadri Iginla, who cut her with a knife. Adenike was said to have wrenched the knife from Iginla, and stabbed him in the stomach.

It was a crime spree that stretched over eight states and more than 24 jewelry stores across the country. With a high level of sophistication and planning, a team of thieves were able to steal millions of dollars' worth in diamond jewelry over an 18-month period, starting in December 2009 until May 2011.

But thanks to social media and the crew's unquenchable thirst for cold, hard cash, police were able to track down and nab the thieves.

“What got 'em was greed. If they would have just stuck to the plan but not showed the money off publicly, we might still be trying to figure out who they are right now,” Portland Police Det. Eric McDaniel said.

Sit down, Directioners, because you might not like this. Former One Direction member Zayn Malik seems to have gotten a new, solo record contract with RCA, as evidenced by the above photo he tweeted Wednesday.

ABC reports Bobbi Kristina Brown, who died Sunday, will be laid to rest next to her mother Whitney Houston in New Jersey.

There's going to be an Empire wedding! OK, technically it's happening off-screen, but just go with it. Trai Byers, who plays oldest Lyon son Andre, and Grace Gealey, who plays Anika/Boo Boo Kitty, are engaged.

The Associated Press reports Mariah Carey, a songbird who is currently in love, is set to direct a Christmas movie for the Hallmark Channel. And I am dead from writing the last part of that sentence.

Mariah will direct and co-star in something called "Mariah Carey's Christmas Project," which hopefully will be the final name and not just a working title. She'll begin work on the movie in the fall. There's no word yet on who else will be in the film or what it will be about, but as long as it's something along the lines of Glitter 2: A Christmas Miracle, you can definitely count me in for this.

Mariah shared her enthusiasm for the project on Twitter on Thursday

Meek Mill: "When My Girl Do Better Than Me, I Still Win"

In the ongoing diss war between Meek Mill and Drake, Drake has spent quite a bit of time mocking Meek's public displays of affection for Nicki Minaj. On Tuesday's "Back to Back Freestyle," Drake even made fun of Meek's spot as an opener on Nicki's tour, saying, "Is that a world tour or your girl's tour?" Meek hasn't specifically responded to Drake's barbs, but in a new interview with Billboard — conducted before the Drake business, but still interesting — it seems clear that he's fine to step back and let his girlfriend bask in the spotlight.

The immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (retd.), has said that the Army he headed was one with no equipment.

The former Chief of Defence Staff made the statement while delivering a valedictory speech at a pulling out parade organised in his honour at the Mogadishu Cantonment, Abuja, on Thursday.

He said, “Permit me to also add here that the nation’s militaries are equipped and trained in peace time for the conflicts they expect to confront in the future. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience as a nation.

“Over the years, the military was neglected and under-equipped to ensure the survival of certain regimes, while other regimes, based on advice from some foreign nations, deliberately reduced the size of the military and underfunded it.

“Unfortunately, our past leaders accepted such recommendations without appreciating our peculiarities as a third world military, which does not have the technological advantage that could serve as force multipliers and compensate for reduced strength.

THE Senate on Thursday commenced the probe of alleged abuse of the waiver regime under former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The upper federal legislative chamber has set up a committee to investigate alleged abuse of import waivers by the Jonathan administration. The ad hoc committee, headed by Senator Adamu Aliero, will probe import waivers from 2011 to 2014.

The President Muhammadu Buhari government had a few weeks ago said it would probe the Jonathan administration.

Katy Perry Celebrates Her Enormous Wealth With Taco Bell

Katy Perry covers the new issue of Forbes this week in celebration of being the highest-earning woman on the magazine's annual Celebrity 100 list, taking home $135 million last year. (She's in third place overall, behind boxers Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.) Other notable celebrities on the list include One Direction (fourth place with $130 million), Taylor Swift (eighth with $80 million), Beyoncé (29th with $54.5 million), Kim Kardashian (33rd with $52.5 million), and Judge Judy (43rd with $47 million). Katy, as is her way, marked the occasion with a trip to Taco Bell for a Crunchwrap Supreme, which is apparently her food of choice during her break from the "Prismatic" tour.

The issue was the final straw in the deteriorating relationship between the owners and Pearson.

Karrueche Tran Rihanna Should Date Chris Brown

Rihanna must be holding her trusty umbrella because there’s a lot of shade being thrown her way! Rihanna dissed Karrueche by saying she wasn’t right for Chris, and now, KT wants her to step off. Better yet, she wants RiRi to enjoy her leftovers — Chris Brown. Ella ella eh eh eh!

Rihanna, 27, is thrilled that Chris Brown, 26, and Karrueche Tran, 27, broke up — she never thought KT was right for the “Loyal” singer — but Karrueche doesn’t care. Karrueche believes Rihanna is just bitter, and she probably wants Chris back. And if that’s the case, he’s Rihanna’s for the taking.

“Karrueche doesn’t know why Rihanna is now trying to fight with her. Maybe she’s mad because Karrueche took Chris from her and she was the one who got dumped in the end. Yeah, maybe that’s it. But Karrueche’s done scraping her plate and Rihanna’s free to have her leftovers and the headaches that come with it,”

We’re not sure we’d call Chris Brown Karrueche Tran’s leftovers, since Rihanna had him first, but we get the picture. There’s no reason for Rihanna to throw salt in Karrueche’s wound by saying she wasn’t right for Chris. That’s a bit harsh.

Rihanna thinks Chris “needs someone who’s equally yoked,” adding that in the “Umbrella” singer’s eyes, Karrueche “doesn’t cut it” as the right type of girlfriend for Chris.

Does Rihanna feel that she’s the right girlfriend for Chris? It’s too early to tell. They've already reconciled once before, following his 2009 assault on her and their subsequent breakup. So anything is possible. And lately, she’s been admiring his soft side.
