US President Barack Obama offered advice Saturday to Kanye West on the rapper’s improbable White House bid — telling him that reality TV might be good training for Washington.
West, who has declared with an unclear degree of seriousness that he will run for president in 2020, was performing at a fundraiser for Obama’s Democratic Party in San Francisco.
Addressing supporters who paid up to $10,000 a ticket, teased that he had campaign advice for West, who is married to reality television star Kim Kardashian.
“First of all, you’ve got to spend a lot of time dealing with some strange characters who behave like they’re on a reality TV show,” Obama said to laughter.
Obama joked that the background of West — like Obama, an African-American who spent formative years in Chicago — may not be entirely far-fetched for the presidency.
“Do you really think that this country is going to elect a black guy from the South Side of Chicago with a funny name to be president of the United States? That is crazy,” Obama said to applause.
But Obama noted that the title of one of West’s albums may prove to be a political liability.
“Saying you have a ‘Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ — that’s what’s known as ‘off-message’ in politics,” Obama said, referring to West’s chart-topping 2010 album.
Obama did not resist taking a jab at the rival Republican Party, whose leadership in the House of Representatives is in disarray, saying that he heard “Kanye is thinking of running for speaker of the House.”
West, who is known for his brash self-confidence and has likened himself to Michelangelo, declared in August at the MTV Video Music Awards that he plans to run for president in 2020.
The rapper’s aspirations earlier won unlikely praise from real estate mogul Donald Trump, the acerbic front-runner in the Republican presidential race for 2016.
Trump told Rolling Stone magazine last month that he found West to be a “nice guy,” adding: “I hope to run against him someday.”

Why Girls dont Like You
You have the fitted body, most expensive clothing, you know a lot of high profile individuals. You even have a car but yet girls don't seem to like you. What can the problem be?
Many guys focus more their physical appearance which their dressing and body shape. They go to the gym often to attain a certain body figure believing that ladies will be attracted to them. Undoubtedly, some ladies will find a guy with muscles attractive but such muscles cannot sustain a relationship.
Girls want more than physical appearance or material possessions. As a young man looking to start a new relationship, there are some things you need to consider in order to make yourself attractive to the opposite sex.

#Develop good manners
Many guys today are so mannerless. Without good manners it is difficult to show respect for others. Manners can not be hidden. Others will see it. It is will show in the way you deal with your family members, friends and member of the opposite sex.
Girls love boys with good manners. So cultivate good manners. How can you display good manners. It simple! Little things such as opening the door for her, being kind to her and her family. Do not toil with her emotions.
#Maintain good hygiene
You need to respect yourself first before other too can. Maintaining good hygiene shows you respect yourself and others too are more likely to respect you. You need to avoid having bad breath. Girls will find you attractive if you can work on this.
#Cultivate good conversation skills
Good communication is the basis of a lasting relationship. So to keep a girl, you need to always focus your conversation more on her interest than yours. Girls hate it when you talk only about yourself alone. Always be a good listener. Take time to listen to her. Always sound real and not fake.
#Be responsible

How To Overcome Shyness in Order to Let Men Give You What You Want
Most ladies have a characteristic frailty component. We stress over some thing like cellulite, wrinkles, stretch imprints or our weight for instance. For some ladies the considered playing with men to start contact is more awful than giving a discourse to a crowd of people of 1000 individuals. Why? Since we question ourselves. We persuade ourselves from the beginning that a gentleman won't be pulled in to us. This can be the situation regardless of the possibility that we get bunches of proof in spite of our self-assessment, similar to men taking a gander at us, paying us compliments and seeking after us. Our view of ourselves will dependably be the conclusion that we listen to.
They say you ought to dependably confront your reasons for alarm. So I am going to set out 3 difficulties for you to take up. Add them to your container rundown, telephone a companion for good bolster or do them with a companion however you must finish the greater part of the difficulties inside of a month of perusing this article. Consider me your own mentor. We all need a mentor to persuade us, to push us outside of our usual range of familiarity so we understand our potential. Like my yoga educator says, cited from the maker of Bikram Yoga - Bikram himself, "You have a great deal more in the engine than you understand." You can do these undertakings effortlessly.
Test Number 1
Compose your name and number on a bit of paper and stroll up to 3 distinct men over discrete days that you see while out on the town and like the look of, give them this note and leave. You don't have to say anything to them. This is called being a tease in the 21st Century. Men are regularly excessively terrified, making it impossible to approach us and resistant to our unpretentious teases. This technique uproots all perplexity by letting them know that you are feeling it uproarious and clear. Who cares in the event that they are taken or doesn't call. Clearly, don't approach a man in the event that he is with a lady. You don't have anything put resources into this, you didn't even hit up a discussion with them - so don't think about a no call as dismissal in light of the fact that it truly isn't!
Test Number 2
Stroll up to man that you are pulled in to, he could be in a bar or club or in the city and kiss him on the lips. I don't mean a peck either. I'm talking tongue activity. I propose you ask him to start with, however this will expand your certainty tremendously and develop you for test number 3.
Test Number 3
Your last test is to go out clubbing or getting wasted and ask 100 men on that night on the off chance that they will give you their number. I suggest you do this test with another person. You will get numbers and you don't have to do anything with them, in spite of the fact that you can on the off chance that you like. The last control is you can't focus on any of these men until you have approached 100 men for their number. After that you are allowed to zone in on the one or ones that you loved. This guideline won't just help you to complete the test yet it will expand men's view of quality in you in light of the fact that you are making them sit tight for your consideration.
These difficulties are intended to enhance your certainty so you can get a relationship you need with a man that you need. I don't suggest you utilize test number 3 as a continuous dating procedure in light of the fact that men ought to be the ones requesting you're number. You can give them yours yet they ought to do the calling and seeking after in light of the fact that men need to chase ladies and observe that part more regular than tackling that part than the one's persona being sought after.
Like I said, you can do these difficulties with a companion - even a male companion to make it all the more fascinating. You can transform it into an opposition to make it more fun, yet you must finish the difficulties

Cancer: Diezani Begs Nigerians To Pray For Her
The embattled former petroleum minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has appealed to Nigerians to pray for her to survive the surgical operation that she is due to have next week.
Alison-Madueke, who has been reportedly diagnosed with cancer and has been scheduled to undergo a surgical operation next week, says she needs to come out strong to face the allegations against her.
Diezani Alison-Madueke wants Nigerians to pray for her
This comes after a series of jaw-dropping revelations about her alleged shady deals. She was first arrested by the UK National Crime Agency over corruption allegations, and she was also allegedly caught with about £13 billion, before reports emerged that she cannot leave London until she answers to all the allegations levelled against her.
From her sick bed she asked Nigerians to pray for her as she undergoes cancer surgery next week as she hopes to come out strong to face the allegations against her.
Vanguard reports that the family lawyer, Oscar Onwudiwe, denied reports of her arrest, insisting that she was undergoing cancer treatment in the UK and “hopes to come out strong to face all the allegations.”
According to The Cable, Onwudike said: “The Madueke family, like most other families, has its own challenges. For instance, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke has been receiving treatment for cancer in the UK which started while she was in office.
“She completed months of chemotherapy just last week and she is scheduled to undergo surgery next week in London.
“The family has been bearing this challenge with prayers and as much grace and fortitude as possible; and would plead with all reasonable Nigerians to pray for her recovery so that she can face these allegations and give account of her stewardship.”
Nigerians have since expressed sarcasm over the plight of the former minister, saying that she has to survive her present ailment and return to face the charges brought against her with a view to proving her innocence or serve the punishment which her sins deserve.

"When the council heard that three persons lost their lives in Gudi Primary Health Care Clinic in this local government, I went there personally with health experts including officials of World
Health Organisation (WHO).
"The health experts took samples and conducted tests and it was discovered that it is diarrhea and vomiting but not cholera as been speculated.

Moses Simon scored his second Eagles goal on the hour when he blasted past the Cameroon goalkeeper after he was released by skipper Ahmed Musa. Substitute Odion Ighalo took the game beyond the Indomitable Lions with a third goal two minutes from time when he headed hoEaqgles me off a delightful cross by Elderson Echiejile from the left flank. Cameroon would also struggle when skipper Stephane
Mbia was sent off in the 47th minute after his second booking of the night. Before then, Cameroon young goalkeeper Ondoa had to
pull off at least two big saves to deny the Super
Eagles. In the ninth minute, the Barcelona second team shot stopper had to go down quickly to keep out a menacing ball heading for goal.
He will also get a strong hand to a pile drive by
Emmanuel Emenike after 31 minutes.
