UPDATE: Admiral Akhigbe, not dead, says brother

The family of the former Chief of General Staff, Admiral Mike Akhigbe, Monday, described as untrue, online reports that the former number two man died in a London hospital.

Contrary to the reports of his alleged death, elder brother of the Admiral, Chief Joseph Alemon Akhigbe, said the news about his death was shocking to the family because “it is not true and it is really embarrassing to us’’.

According to him, “My brother is stabilizing in an American hospital and not even London as erroneously reported. As I speak to you now, the report in my opinion is pure speculation, the paper said he died in a London hospital but my brother is in an American hospital stabilizing. The wife, son-in-law and his daughter are with him. My immediate younger brother in Abuja who spoke to the wife in America confirmed to family members that the Admiral is stabilizing; the news of his death is totally untrue.

But Governor Amaechi said Wike should be more interested in how to get students back to the school instead of leaving Abuja every week to play dirty politics in Rivers State.

"As supervising minister for education, it should have been reasonable for Wike to bother about the fact that students roam the streets and take to heinous crimes because of a protracted strike by lecturers."

Wike said Amaechi and his supporters should join another party if they believed they are popular, promising that he (Wike) and his followers would celebrate the exit of the governor from the PDP.

“I don’t feel sorry about it” – Beverly Osu finally opens up on sex scene with Angelo

That former Big Brother Housemate, Beverly Osu is a free-spirit is not news, but what has been a little bit amusing to her fans and critics alike was her consistent denial of a sexual encounter with fellow housemate and South Africa’s representative, Angelo Collins in the Big Brother House.

The pretty lady has, however, laid it all bare in an interview with ThisDay Newspaper chiding her critics for blowing it all out of proportion.

Read excerpts from the interview below:

LIFE OUTSIDE BBA…

My life outside BBA has been wonderful. It’s nothing I cannot handle.

THE PAINS AND GAINS…

Well, I’m usually a very busy person, but it’s just that right now, I’ve been a very unstable person. Sometimes, I can’t even stay here in Lagos for a week without traveling here and there. I think that’s a good thing because good things are coming out of it. And apparently, there’s always the negative side and that is mostly things that are not true that you hear about yourself; how people see you and so on. Some people don’t really bother about perception, but if you’re somebody like me, you will think about it and sometimes it will affect your work. But I thank God that my life has been good.

Nigerian Ambassador Calls on Senator Cruz to Apologize for Comment

Nigeria’s ambassador to the United States is demanding that Senator Ted Cruz apologize for comments in which he joked that it seems like “Nigerian e-mail scammers” have been running the dysfunctional Healthcare.gov website.

“We deplore the statement, and we demand an apology, and we demand it be withdrawn,” Ambassador Ade Adefuye told Politico.

“It is unfair of any senator to essentially use citizens that are law abiding, to use Nigerians as cannon fodder,” Adefuye said. “We recognize that we have efforts on the part of Sen. Cruz to appeal to some animus in his domestic base. In the course of doing that, to allow him to ridicule a country and its citizens is completely over the top. He should not denigrate Nigerians in order to appease these domestic constituents.”

“Many people from Nigeria are making meaningful contributions to American society, and Nigerians are very law abiding and making contributions to their host community,” Adefuye added. “It was a joke that went too far, and we demand an apology.”
