Kanye West's camp is firing back at the extra who claims that he was not paid for the Yeezy Season 3 show. According to them, all models were fed, paid and dressed for the gig. According to TMZ
'A rep for Kanye tells us extras got a daily rate and received a meal ticket for lunch. While the hours were long for the gig, we're told the majority of the crew was thrilled to be in the show.
A source close to the production tells TMZ all models were dressed in Yeezy Season 3 gear, but because of the large number of participants ... some extras were in vintage clothing that had been dyed for the production. We're told they were paid $10/hr. Our source says everyone involved in the show had to sign a very strict NDA, so it's a little fishy the "kurents" guy is so chatty.'

If You Must Fight Corruption Kindly Checked People Around You As Lamido Advises Buhari
Former Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido does not believe President Muhammadu Buhari is the change Nigeria needs.
According to Naij, speaking while addressing members of Global Watch who paid a courtesy visit to him on Wednesday February 10, Dr. Lamido said, “How can President Buhari say he is fighting corruption when he is surrounded by people of questionable characters, a group of people who were part of the government he is criticizing?”

Oliseh: NFF wins round 1, stops salary of his aide
AS Nigerians come to terms with the sensational Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh’s rant on You-tube, his employers, the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, are gradually fighting back by first stopping the salary of his aide. Ex-international and former team-mate of Oliseh, Tijani Babangida was appointed by the Eagles coach as Special Assistant after bagging the job to replace Stephen Keshi. But unknown to many Nigerians, the NFF had been paying a whopping salary of N600,000 per month to Babangida as well as paying him bonus and allowances along with players of the Super Eagles.
But in a surprise move apparently borne out of their red account, the NFF have written to inform the coach that henceforth they would no longer be responsible for his aide’s salary. An authentic source from the Glass house informed Sports Vanguard last night that they do not have the wherewithal to continue with his aide’s salary and allowances. We further gathered that some people had raised eyebrows to the massive pay packet of the former wing wizard especially as he also partakes in the bonuses and allowances paid to the Super Eagles players. “Tijani’s pay was formerly put at N1.6 million but some NFF staff cried out that even the Secretary General was not earning that much. It was now pegged at N600, 000 per month with the bonuses and allowances attached to it”, our source further stated. But all that has come to a stop as red-eyed NFF have informed the Chief Coach that they could no longer bear the burden of his aide’s payment. “If he wants to retain him, he can also pay him from his own pockets”, our source emphasized.

Why we can’t probe ex-service chiefs — ARMY
The Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, said yesterday that the Army cannot probe ex-service chiefs involved in procurement of weapons for the fight against Boko Haram because they had retired. Buratai, who disclosed this while defending Army’s budget proposal before the House of Representatives Committee on Army, also lamented that the N160 billion budget approved for the Army by the Ministry of Budget and Planning was grossly inadequate to prosecute the war against insurgency in the North East. His declaration came as the Army yesterday said it would not reabsorb the 250 soldiers dismissed last week for failing to join their colleagues posted to the North East, gross acts of indiscipline, cowardice and absence without leave. According to him, all the service chiefs and other senior officers involved in the procurement have so far retired, hence the Army is limited on the extent it could go to investigate the procurement. On Army budget, Buratai said the force had proposed N526 billion for 2016 fiscal year but lamented that only N160 billion was approved. He pleaded with the committee to assist the force by ensuring that what it had earlier proposed was given so that the Army could carry out all its required assignments, including rehabilitation of barracks and welfare of officers and men of the force. He said: “The ministry went below what we actually need minimally. This honourable House should assist to ensure that what we proposed is given to us. “The significant drop is not from us but the Budget Office, but we will appreciate your efforts to make it up so that we can function well. “If we can get N526 billion today, Nigerian army will not be the same again. We will make sure that our barracks are rehabilitated and troops and their families taken care of.”

Gov. Fayose Advises Buhari to withdraw and re present 2016 Budget
Read the press statement below...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has urged President Mohammadu Buhari to save the country of the national embarrassment being caused by the 2016 Budget that he presented to the National Assembly by formally withdrawing the budget and representing it.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Assistant on Pubic Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said “the President should admit that there were avoidable errors in the budget and since he is human and not immune to errors, he should simply do the needful by presenting a new and credible budget to the National Assembly.”
Governor Fayose described revelation by the Health Minister, Isaac Adewole, that the proposal drawn up by the ministry and submitted to the budget office had been doctored and that “foreign” appropriations, different from what was submitted, had been sneaked in as the height of national embarrassment.
While addressing the Senate Committee on Health during its budget defence session on Monday, Prof Adewole had stunned the Senators when he said; “We have to look into the details of the budget and re-submit it to the committee. This was not what we submitted. We’ll submit another one. We don’t want anything foreign to creep into that budget. What we submitted is not there.”
The minister went further to say that in the revised budget as re-submitted, N15.7 billion for capital allocation was moved to other areas and that there was nothing allocated to public health and family health. In his reaction, Governor Fayose said; “Last week, we were told that the Senate discovered a sum of N10 billion questionably smuggled into the budget of the Ministry of Education for an allegedly questionable subhead.
“Also, we were told of the existence of a budget mafia in the Presidency that was said to be responsible for the embarrassing allocations in the budget. “Before now, we were told that a total of N3.87 billion was allocated for capital projects at the State House Clinic alone, over N700 million more than capital allocation to all the 16 federal teaching hospitals combined.
“Now, a whole minister has come out to say that budgetary provision for his ministry was forged! “If under a President that says he is fighting corruption, the budget of the country got missing and we are now being told that the budget being considered by the National Assembly has been forged, one cannot but be afraid that there is possibility of Nigeria being forged one day, after the original must have gone missing.”

Lionel Messi: Barcelona striker has tests after kidney problems
According to BBC, Barcelona forward Lionel Messi missed training on Monday to have tests on his kidneys.
The Argentina international sat out December's Fifa Club World Cup semi-final after being diagnosed with renal colic, a type of abdominal pain commonly attributed to kidney stones.
He was able to play in the final three days later, and has played in all of Barca's league games since.
A club statement said Messi, 28, will return to "normal duties" on Wednesday.
"Barcelona striker Lionel Messi will undergo several tests on Monday and Tuesday to assess the evolution of the kidney problems he suffered last December," it said.
Messi has scored 12 goals in 17 La Liga games this season to help Barcelona go three points clear at the top of the table.
He played the full 90 minutes of Sunday's 2-0 win at bottom club Levante.
On Wednesday, Barca visit Valencia in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final, which they lead 7-0 on aggregate.

10 Lessons Nigerians Can Learn From Agege Bread Seller Turn Model
We all have probably heard the amazing story of Olajumoke Orisaguna, the Agege bread seller in Lagos who is on her way to super stardom for simply walking into TY Bello’s photo session.
Olajumoke-ThisDay-Style-2.jpg
The photographer and singer, took interest in the bread seller and decided to shot her to the stars.
However, here are ten lessons we can all learn from the bread seller turned super model narrative.
1. The race is not to the swift:
Even that timeless Christian scripture told us that ”the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong”. The rags to glory story of Olajumoke Ajaguna has confirmed the holy maxim. We all know the struggle to grace the cover of fashion magazines by aspiring models.
We all know how wannabe models would give an arm to strut the runway. But here was Jumoke the bread hawker just going about her normal business and fortune finds her. Sometimes, we just have to live everyday as it comes and just do our thing and hope for luck to break.
2. Be focused on your game:
On that fateful day when TY Bello was shooting for Tinie Tempah on a Lagos street, Jumoke, the bread hawker was hawking as usual. For her, it was just another day. Come rain or sunshine, she must hawk not just for survival but as a routine. She was focused on her game. See how it has paid off.
3. Be prepared for the opportunity and when it comes grab it:
When Jumoke appeared for the photo shoot of her Thisday Style cover, she did not fret. She appeared ready for it. Even TY Bello said that Jumoke was a natural, it was as if she has been doing photo shoot all her life. You see she was prepared when the opportunity found her.
4. Never be afraid to take risk:
Jumoke left her village in Ire, Osun state, south-west Nigeria to sell bread in Lagos. She travelled all the way. She could have stayed back in the village and moan about her condition. But she left for Lagos hoping to eke out a living hawking. Instead doors of opportunity are opening for her in the modeling world.
5. Do not despise your little beginnings:
Do not be ashamed to do anything honest to make a living. Hawking bread is not the most glamorous of jobs. Yet, Jumoke hawked bread. You may say she had no choice but to hawk. She could have also be lazying around the place as many young people are doing today.
6. There is always someone waiting to lift you up:
There is always a God sent. In Jumoke’s case, it is the super star singer and photographer, TY Bello that has come to snatch her from the jaws of poverty. Like Christians pray, ask God to send your divine helper when you need them the most.
7. Work hard someone is always watching:
Continue to do your thing. Someone is watching, someone is waiting. Someone needs your skill. TY Bello was impressed at how Jumoke balanced the bread perfectly on her head. Horn your skill and be the best in what you do!
8. Follow your instinct:
Jumoke could have taken another street. She could have missed TY Bello photo shoot with Tinie Tempah on that fateful day. She must have probably followed her instinct now she is on her way to success.
9. Dreams do come true:
Yes, dreams do come true. Like all human beings, Jumoke must have nursed the ambition of being successful in life. Now she will live her dream with many doors opening at the same time.
10. Finally, Lagos is a land of opportunities:
Jumoke’s story has taught us that in Lagos anything can happen. Lagos is a land of opportunities. Dreams can be made and dreams can disappear like a candle in the wind.
With focus, hard work, dedication and luck, one can achieve one’s heart desires.
We wish Jumoke Orisaguna all the best. And thank you TY Bello for making her live the Lagos dream!

Presidency unfolds N500bn social welfare programmes
The Presidency has unfurled tentative details on the implementation of its N500 billion social welfare programme, revealing that one million extremely poor Nigerians would be direct beneficiaries of the N5,000 monthly cash transfer.
The payment which is to commence once the budget is approved by the National Assembly, is besides another five social interventions that include the provision of one meal a day to school pupils in some selected states. A total of N60 billion would be directly transferred to the one million extremely poor Nigerians, according to a statement issued by the Office of the Vice-President in accordance to President Muhammadu Buhari’s vision of building human capital. Other elements of the social intervention scheme revealed, yesterday, include the 500,000 direct jobs, which will see unemployed graduates being trained and deployed as volunteer teachers in their communities while still prospecting for jobs in their chosen professions. The details as released by Mr. Adeolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant, Media in the office of the Vice-President, also disclosed a youth employment plan which will see the training of 370,000 non-graduates youths in different skills and vocational programmes. “The recruitment of beneficiaries into the volunteer teaching jobs and the skill acquisition training scheme for non-graduates would be done on state basis, including the FCT and opened to all Nigerians of different shades,” Akande said. Another initiative also revealed is the micro credit scheme where one million Nigerians, mostly small scale traders, artisans and market women, would get a one-time soft loan of N60,000 each through the Bank of Industry. And finally there is the free education plan for students of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, STEM, where government will pay tuition for 100,000 students. Explaining the administration’s determination to positively impact the capacity of Nigerians through the unprecedented intervention, Akande disclosed that at no time in the nation’s budgetary history had the Federal Government made a specific vote of such volume for social welfare. “Even economic historians now say that not only is the half a trillion Naira vote unprecedented, but it is also the greatest service ever done to the Nigerian state and people by any federal government administration,” Akande said. He noted that the six social safety plans would reduce high levels of poverty and vulnerabilities, while also increasing Nigeria’s Human Development Index on the global UN rankings. “The President’s vision is to increase investments in human capital to guarantee security for all, employment and improved well-being of the people,” the Vice President’s media aide added. He disclosed that the Presidency was aware that past attempts to address poverty had suffered because of insufficient political will, presence of various UN-uncoordinated initiatives and poorly targeted beneficiaries, among other factors, and was working to avoid the pitfalls. The Senior Special Assistant said for the Conditional Cash Transfer, CCT, where one million extremely poor Nigerians will receive N5000 monthly in 2016, the money would be paid directly to the beneficiaries through a payment system that is being worked out. He said the World Bank and the Bill Gates Foundation were collaborating with the Presidency to develop an efficient payment system. All together, about N60 billion had been estimated to be paid out to extremely poor Nigerians. And the implementation of the programme starts once the budget is passed.

Nigerians' reputation for crime has made them unwelcome in Britain, says PMB
Kindly take a moment to read the exact statement PMB made in London.
Muhammadu Buhari tells Telegraph that too many Nigerians are in jail abroad - and that they shouldn't try to claim asylum
Nigeria's president has warned his fellow citizens to stop trying to make asylum claims in Britain, saying that their reputation for criminality has made it hard for them to be "accepted" abroad.
Muhammadu Buhari, the tough ex-general elected last year, said those who had joined the migrant exodus to Europe were doing so purely for economic reasons rather than because they were in danger.
He added that because of the number of Nigerians imprisoned for law-breaking in Britain and elsewhere, they were also unlikely to get much sympathy.

Grumbling in the military!
Some military officers are grumbling over alleged alteration of the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) contained in the Armed Forces Act.
Some of the aggrieved professionals in the military said that several medical doctors, engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants and architects had allegedly resigned from the three services: Army, Navy and Air Force.
The officers, who did not want their names published for fear of being punished, said, because of the bad impression some people had about the military in the past, coupled with alleged poor remuneration, the Armed Forces Council, drawing its powers under the Armed Forces Act, authored a document known as the Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) to attract graduates to the force.
“The HTACOS reorganized the ranks of the Armed Forces and drew up clear equivalents among the rank and file in the three services (the superior officer ranks were never an issue)”, the officers said in a document obtained by Sunday Vanguard.
