Justin Bieber didn't buy a $60m private jet after all...

Well, technically he never said it was his...we all assumed it was after he posted the photos on his instagram page and wrote "New jet for Christmas, and she's beautiful". But according to TMZ, it was merely chartered by Justin for a Christmas flight from Canada to NYC. It was a 22-seater G4 plane which is up for sale. He didn't buy it!

New Subscribers Raking In Millions Daily on MTN Network

It seems MTN giveaways never end. The telecommunications and ICT Company has been putting smiles on the faces of Nigerians by rewarding those who just subscribed to its network with N1m daily in a promo tagged Cash Quest. In common local term, this is most likely an ‘Awoof’ as Sadiyah Muhammed from Bauchi, Isa Mohammed from Kano and many others have benefitted from MTN’s largesse. (Pic above: MTN’s Customer Relationship Manager, Kano, Kabiru Kazaure (left) and MTN’s Regional Trade Marketing Manager,North West Region, Abdulhamid Hassan ( right), congratulating Muhammad Isah (centre), a one million naira winner in the on-going MTN Cash Quest Promo.)

Meanwhile, it doesn’t end there. Many more people are still going to win provided they purchase an MTN line and activate it before New Year. It’s yummy, yummy, all the way to 2015. MTN Cash Quest sums up a year of exciting gifting by the largest telecommunications company in Africa. A month earlier, it was the ‘Surprise’ Campaign. Everyone – parents, workers, commuters, students, even lecturers – received one surprise gift or the other from MTN.

At some point, free Y’ello buses were conveying commuters from bus-stops to bus-stops in Lagos. Students in schools received surprise visits by popular artistes and MTN ambassadors as well as loads of free data. Market men and women across the nation were not left out. The Cash Quest Promo runs from now till March but new MTN subscribers will continue to receive free gifts and cash rewards till December 31st so long they activate their lines before

Jonathan’s government not responsible - Osinbajo

During a parley with journalists at his campaign office in Lagos yesterday, APC VP candidate Professor Yemi Osinbajo criticized the current government, saying its not a responsible one...

"The problem is management of resources. If we plug the loopholes, you’ll see the resources being pooled together. Security is the first duty of any government; you cannot fight a war where leadership is uncertain; where leadership is not sure of itself and its responsibilities.

“The type of leadership we need to successfully fight a war is lacking. The commander-in-chief has responsibility for everything.

You can’t continue to say your enemies did this or that. You’ve got to take responsibility and that is what is lacking in the current dispensation.

“The people I talked to in my bus trips, both men and women asked, ‘What are you doing about the Chibok girls?’ I was surprised that people here in Lagos could be that concerned. It shows everyone is concerned. My take is that as the president, you should visit these places, talk to them and let them see that you are doing something. And one of the things to be done is equipping the military.”

“We have reached a point where we need to draw a line because this country can’t continue like this. A few days ago, we heard that some billions were missing from the oil fund. You and I know that all this is so because there are no consequences. What is required is an administration where people believe that the number one man will not tolerate corruption. That is the first step.”
