From TMZ :
The WWE is getting the smackdown from some
fans after two "Russian" characters ripped
Americans for blaming Russia for the MH17
tragedy. Right before Alexander Rusev's pay-per-
view bout last night ... his manager Lana teased
hecklers with a very thinly veiled reference to the
Malaysia Airlines crash, saying ... "You blame
Russia for current events?" Lana added that
America is to blame for "war-mongering in
Afghanistan and Iraq." Of course, the whole bit was
scripted -- like every WWE event -- but mentioning
a real disaster, less than a week after it
happened ... has generated some backlash. By the
way, Lana is played C.J. Perry -- an American
actress with a shaky Russian accent.A rep for the
WWE tells TMZ the segment was not about the
Malaysia Airlines crash in specific. The rep pointed
out, "The storyline with characters Rusev and Lana
has been a part of WWE programming for more than
3 months. WWE apologizes to anyone who
misunderstood last night’s segment and was
offended.”

Wednesday stressed the need for African first
ladies to support their husbands to enable them
to succeed in running affairs of state.

wife of the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Roman
Abneh at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
“We should not relent in our efforts at
supporting our spouses to make our continent
free of any form of violence.
“The challenges of terrorism, conflicts and war
have become global. We should work towards
supporting our husbands to achieve peace in
their various countries.
“I believe in dialogue because there is nothing
dialogue cannot achieve. Africa must develop
and we cannot afford these conflicts to take
over our continent.”
Jonathan appealed to her colleagues not to
relent in their efforts to attain peace on the
continent.
“It is high time for us as African first ladies to
take this peace initiative very seriously because
what affects one nation affects the other. If we
fail, we have failed our region, continent and
the world.
“Nigerian woman have been praying, organising
rallies and campaigning for peace in our country
and we believe God will answer us.
“As mothers, we have the responsibility of
guiding our children to follow the right path.”

empowerment and uplift of Ethiopian women
and girls especially in the areas of health and
education.

cancer and HIV and AIDS in that country.

on a two-day official visit to Nigeria, described
Jonathan as a role model to the African first
ladies.
She commended Jonathan’s commitment and
dedication towards women empowerment and
attainment of peace in Africa.
The corrupted soul

Killing your future, having no ambition.

The President of the Civil Rights Congress of
Nigeria and prominent northern-based rights
activist, Mallam Shehu Sani on Tuesday declared
that the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti
State was far from being free and fair as
adjudged.
Sani, in a statement to newsmen in Kaduna on
Tuesday, said the election could not be free and
fair when the government of the day used
security operatives to harass and intimidate
political opponents to favour the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party’s candidate, Mr. Ayo Fayose.
The CRC’s boss noted that in the run off to that
election, key APC figures, campaign managers as
well as government functionaries were arrested,
adding that credible elections must be devoid of
the use of force or coercion in any way.
The pro-democracy activist warned that what
happened in Ekiti must not happen in Osun
State in during the forthcoming governorship
poll in that state.
“The PDP did not win Ekiti; they captured Ekiti
through the strategy of force and inducement.
Governor Kayode Fayemi’s acceptance of defeat
is more for peace than for justice. Those in
Abuja reveling in the victory over APC are
simply toasting to the cruel triumph of might
over morality. The will of the people cannot be
said to be freely expressed with a record
military planes hovering over the skies of Ekiti
and soldiers on the ground,” he said.
He urged Nigerians to rise up against what he
described as ‘forces against democracy’ and be
ready, prepared to defend their votes against
the predatory ruling party backed by the state
apparatus.”
Sani, a senatorial aspirant on the platform of
the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC)
in Kaduna State, said democratic and
progressive forces in Nigeria should not tolerate
the repeat of the Ekiti episode in 2015:
He said, “Those who accepted, endorsed and
embraced Ekiti elections as free and fair are by
extension giving their imprint to the adoption
of it in the 2015 general elections.
“We fought and ended military rule in Nigeria.
We will not tolerate its return through the
backdoor. Drafting the military to supervise
elections position them to partisanship, drags
them into murky political waters and negatively
affect their professionalism.
“The Ekiti elections is neither free nor fair
irrespective of the acceptance of Governor
Kayode Fayemi. The cruelty and Brigandage by
the security apparatus in the days to the
election created an atmosphere of fear,
apprehension and intimidation that can in no
reasonable assessment be considered as fair
Operatives of the Kaduna State command of
the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency
(NDLEA) on Tuesday said that it has arrested
11 secondary school children and manager of
a hotel in the state capital over alleged drug
abuse and trafficking.
The State Commander of the agency,
Mohammed Jibrin, disclosed this to newsmen
during an event marking the International Day
against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
The theme for the celebration was, “A Message
of Hope: Drug Use Disorders Are Preventable
and Treatable.”
Jibrin said that the children; seven girls and four
boys, were arrested in a hotel room taking
psychotropic substance.
He revealed that eight of the arrested children
were still in junior classes, adding that their
parents had been invited to the command for
questioning and counselling, while the hotel
manager was still under investigation.
The commander disclosed that between January
and May 2014, the agency arrested 210 drug
suspects, including five women, with various
illicit drugs weighing over 1074.02kg.
He said that 80 of them, including a 78 year old
man from Zaria, have been convicted and were
serving various prison terms.
Jibrin said that the command had also
discovered and sealed an illegal laboratory in
Zaria, manufacturing fake drugs.
According to him, the laboratory produces drugs
from ordinary powder, expired chemicals and
substances that are detrimental to human
health.
He also disclosed that a total of 37 addicts have
been counselled, rehabilitated and reintegrated
back into the society at the agency’s
rehabilitation facility in Zaria.
Jibrin stressed the need for communities,
parents and other stakeholder to support the
fight against drug abuse and trafficking to
reduce the menace in the state.
Kristen Stewart threatened to sue Joan Rivers for
saying her way to stardom was the casting
couch.Joan writes in her new book -- "Diary of a
Mad Diva" --- "Many stars only do one thing well.
Of course, the best one-trick-pony is Kristen
Stewart, who got a whole career by being able to
juggle a director's balls."Now here's the thing.
Although the book is satire, the statement is written
as truth, especially with the backdrop of Kristen's
very public, self-inflicted wound over her
relationship with her married director, Rupert
Sanders. We've learned Kristen's lawyer contacted
Joan's people and threatened to sue for
defamation, unless Joan 86'd the slutty references.
Joan's people tell us ... the prologue of the book --
due out early next month -- makes it clear it's all
for laughs. A source close to Joan tells us ... they
THINK Kristen's lawyer may have backed down,
because it's been radio silence since the threat
was delivered.Joan has made it clear ... she
doesn't care how Kristen feels about the book. The
passage stays in.
