HILARIOUS!!! Charles Novia Writes On Tiwa Savage' Interview -MUST READ.

I watched the video interview of Tiwa Savage. And I have a few thoughts on it.
Seems to me that the basic idea, coming from a PR perspective, was to pull a fast Olivia Pope ish on the scandal which broke a few hours ago. And understandably so. Tiwa Savage is a Brand Ambassador for a few top brands such as MTN, Pepsi and Pampers.
Whatever the negative fallout of this impending and scandalous divorce , it’s going to have some downside a bit on the brands she campaigns for. So a fast ‘tell-my-side-of-the-story mode’ had to be employed and fast too.

President Muhammadu Buhari is making moves to extradite alleged looters of public funds, who are currently hiding in different countries of the world. According to a report by Punch Newspaper, the diplomatic process that will ensure the extradition of alleged corrupt politicians/ex-cabinet members in different countries will dominate President Buhari’s discussions at the world leaders summit.
Currently, plans are in top gear for a meeting of 60 world leaders scheduled to hold in the United Kingdom next month, and President Buhari has concluded plans to finalise talks on the extradition of corrupt officials hiding in different countries.

A chilling video sent out by the militia arm of the Fulani herdsmen currently terrorising Nigeria claims that the group is supported and protected by the government of General Muhammadu Buhari.The announcer in the video claims that the group is “everywhere in Nigeria”. The 6.37-minute video was sent to us by a reader on Wednesday, April 27, 2016. the video according to thetrentonline was sent to the governor of Zamfara State, Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari as a warning for him to call the Hausa farmers who rear cattle “to order”.The video shows members of the Fulani militia, a terrorist group ranked as the 4th most deadly terrorist group in the Word Terror Index. Though the video doesn’t show any faces, it captures a group of men with AK47 rifles and motorcycles. According to thetrentonline editor who translated the spoken hausa to English..look what he translated below:
