This is so sad… the only child of late superstar singer, Whitney Houston, Bobbi-Kristina Brown has passed away at a very young age of 22…
According to a statement by a representative of the Houston family :
“Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away Sunday, July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family,” the statement said. “She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.”She was treated in a hospital and then a hospice facility in the nearly six months since she was found unresponsive and not breathing in the bathtub at her Roswell home on January 31 — nearly three years to the day after her mother accidentally drowned in a bathtub in Beverly Hills.
Police have said that they investigated the case as a medical emergency and that no foul play is suspected. No criminal charges have ever been brought.
But late last month, Brown’s conservator sued Nick Gordon — who has been described as Brown’s boyfriend and husband, an attachment her family denies — for $10 million, accusing him of having physically abused Brown and having improperly withdrawn $11,000 from her bank account after she was in a coma.
May her soul rest in peace… AMEN.
Why Buhari didn’t appoint Igbos as Service Chiefs — Oyegun
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the National Chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), has been on the hot seat since his party emerged as the
ruling party in Nigeria. Seeing the former Permanent Secretary, last
week, at his residence in GRA, Benin-City, you will behold a troubled
man. He bared his mind on the leadership crisis in the National
Assembly.
According to him, those accusing the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of being slow are unfair. Oyegun also spoke on other national issues. Excerpts:
People are complaining that this APC government is slow. What is happening?
No, I don’t think the government is slow. Like I always say, we are not talking of 16 years, we are talking of over 50 years. Since independence, this country has been ruled by the same tendencies. So, it is good to go with deliberate speed, deliberate steps, make as few mistakes as you can in the appointment that will come. So, I think that process is nearing the end now. As you can see, appointments are being rolled out, the activities people thought were slow are taking place, even the implementation of some aspects of the program of the party that we promised are already underway.
I think all that is left now is the list of the ministerial appointees and it will come out anytime from now and we will be up and running. So, there is the need for us to be cautious, given the fact that this is our first experience in governance. There is the need to be careful given a totally different nature of our manifesto and the social welfare promises that were made to the people to be sure that those the president wants to bring in to execute these policies, which are dramatically different from anything we have experienced before, are also dramatically different, they understand what is required to be done, are passionate about what is required to be done and have ideas about what is required to be done. Once prime appointments are settled, things will move. The issue of insecurity is being addressed, the war on corruption has started in various parastatals; the government is already very well on steam.
Are we going to see technocrats or politicians in the cabinet?
It will be a mixture of technocrats and politicians. There are politicians who are technocrats, we seem to forget that, but it will be a fair mix.
