Bayelsa clash: Dep govn work out of memorial modalities with family

Yenagoa— Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, has said that a state memorial service will be held in honour of Bayelsa women, who lost their lives in the Saturday tragic road accident along the Ahaoda axis of the East-West Road in Rivers State.

The governor, who described the accident victims as eminent women who played significant roles in the politics of the state, said the government was working out modalities for their interment.

He spoke as the Ijaw National Congress, INC, announced the postponement of the Ijaw Day celebration indefinitely in honour of the victims of the auto crash.

Dickson spoke when INC, its youth wing, the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC and the Bayelsa State Traditional Rulers Council paid him a condolence visit at Government House, Yenagoa.

Dickson, delegated his Deputy, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha Jonah to liaise with the bereaved families concerning the funeral rites of the departed.

He said: “The deputy governor, representing the state government will interact with the various families to discuss the modalities for the interment and what needs to be done from our end.

“We are thinking of organising some kind of state memorial service and I want to plead with all people of goodwill and our leaders to attend the service that we intend to hold in their honour before interment.

“The way and manner the interment will go will be essentially determined by the families.”

Expressing gratitude to sympathizers within and outside the state for their show of concern over the tragedy, the governor urged all people of goodwill to support the families affected by the incident.

He said on the part of the state government, “we are trying to console the families of our departed sisters, mothers and wives, all of them very eminent women in their own rights who were playing very important roles in the politics of our state and particularly in their communities and families.

“It is a very tragic and painful loss to our people, but in the end, it is also a huge personal loss to the families; spouses, children and to all their loved ones that have been left behind.”

Lil Wayne's Daughter Celebrates Her Birthday Party on My Super Sweet Sixteen--See All the Lavish Surprises!

It's the show you love to  watch!

From 2005 to 2008, My Super Sweet 16 chronicled several rich, privileged  kids as they planned their ultimate birthday or Quinceañera celebration.

After more than six years, MTV was finally able to air a brand-new episode of the beloved series with Lil Wayne's daughter Reginae Carter. Let's just say it was well worth the wait. 

"I'm daddy's little girl and he showers me with anything I want," she told cameras on Monday's premiere episode. "I'm gonna shut Atlanta down."

Sounds like the perfect casting choice, right? It sure was! If you missed the star-studded celebration, you're in luck. Take a look at five OMG moments that are sure to leave you with a ton of different emotions. 

1. Nicki Minaj: If you've watched past episodes, you know parents can bring out some pretty impressive guests. But only Lil Wayne could bring out the "Super Bass" rapper to perform a full-on concert at midnight. "Just when I thought I knew everything about this party, that's when I see Nicki," Reginae shared with excitement. "Oh my gosh!"

2. Star-Studded Guests: Minaj wasn't the only A-lister that was a part of the big day. The Game and Ludacris delivered pre-taped birthday messages during the party. In addition, familiar faces like Kandi Burruss, Tiny, Birdman, Fantasia Barrino and others scored a lucky invite.

3. Boy Drama: We can't forget that Reginae is in high school. As a result, there may be a few complications with friends. When she found out her BFF Emily was possibly hooking up with her ex-boyfriend Jadarius, Reginae thought of disinviting her. The stress and rumors even brought the birthday girl to tears days before the party. Luckily, all was cleared up in time for the big day. Phew!

4. Birthday Performance:  Reginae wasn't shy about being the center of attention. So it should come as no surprise that she wanted to deliver a performance of her new single for the cameras. "It has to be off the chains," she explained before clarifying her intentions. "I'm just doing a little dance. Then party." Whatever the case may be, Lil Wayne appeared to like it.

5. Joy Ride:  A birthday isn't complete without a few presents. How does a brand-new BMW and Ferrari GTO sound? "I got the Ferrari. Two cars? What!" Reginae said with enthusiasm. "I'm killing it. This will make history." And what does mom think of all of this? "We ended up going over budget on this party but it was well worth it," Toya Wright explained. "She's a good kid. She deserves it. She's doing big things at 16... so we had to go out with a bang."

Boko Haram attacks Nigerian city of Gombe

Boko Haram has stepped up attacks in recent weeks

Continue reading the main story

Boko Haram

• Behind Baga massacre
• Is army failing?
• Why is Boko Haram so strong?
• Who are Boko Haram?

Boko Haram Islamist militants have attacked the north-east Nigerian city of Gombe, residents say.

Fighters overran a checkpoint on the edge of the city and explosions and gunfire could be heard, witnesses added.
Nigerian troops backed by a fighter jet were said to be trying to drive the militants back.
Nigeria has postponed elections due to be held on Saturday amid concerns over the insurgency in the north-east.
Gombe - capital of Gombe State - has previously suffered suicide attacks but correspondents say this is the first time Boko Haram has launched a direct assault on the city.
Reports said militants first attacked the town of Dadin Kowa, about 40km (25 miles) from Gombe.
Ground troops with air support then battled to keep the insurgents from entering the city.
The BBC's Abullahi Kaura in Abuja says residents have fled into the bush and into nearby hills.

Boko Haram controls a swathe of territory in north-eastern Nigeria.
Its insurgency has become a regional crisis with the four affected countries - Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon -agreeing to form a regional military force to try to contain the threat.
In response, the insurgents have stepped up their attacks in Nigeria and neighbouring states.
It emerged on Friday that Boko Haram had attacked Chad for the first time, crossing Lake Chad in four motorboats and raiding a village overnight.

Security sources and witness said five people were killed by Boko Haram in the village of Ngouboua, including a local chief, a police officer and three civilians. The Chadian military said two of the attackers were also killed.
Some reports put the civilian death toll higher.

Ukraine crisis: Poroshenko says peace deal in Danger

Ukraine's president has warned that a deal to end fighting in the east is in "great danger" after heavy fighting ahead of Saturday night's ceasefire.
Petro Poroshenko also accused Russia of "significantly increasing" its offensive despite the peace agreement reached in Minsk on Thursday.
The US ambassador to Ukraine tweeted a satellite image that he said showed Russian artillery near Debaltseve.
Shelling was heard in the rebel-held city of Donetsk early on Saturday.
Fierce battles are said to be continuing around Debaltseve - a strategic government-held town almost encircled by pro-Russian rebel forces - and outside the southern port city of Mariupol.
The BBC's David Stern in Kiev says that as the clock ticks down to the ceasefire, fears are rising that it won't be observed.
Ukraine's military said on Saturday morning that seven service personnel had been killed and 23 wounded over the past 24 hours.
"Ahead of midnight (time of planned ceasefire) rebels are trying to complete tactically important plans to enlarge the territory under their control," spokesman Andriy Lysenko.
More than a dozen civilians were said to have died in shelling in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions on Friday.
The Ukrainian military and pro-Russian rebels accuse each other of targeting residential areas.

Rebel fighters have continued to besiege the government-held town of Debaltseve

The presidents of France, Russia and Ukraine as well as the German chancellor - who together clinched the agreement in Minsk, the Belarusian capital - are due to discuss the issue by phone over the weekend.
The UN Security Council will also meet in emergency session on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the US has said it is very concerned by reports of heavy weapons coming across the border from Russia.
The US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, also said on Twitter that Russian units along the border were preparing a large shipment of supplies to separatist fighters.
He pointed to satellite images of what he said was Russian artillery north of Debaltseve, taken on Thursday.
'Escalation expected' Correspondents say the fighting shows no sign of stopping.
Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Petro Mekhed said the rebels wanted to "raise their flag" over Debaltseve and Mariupol before the midnight ceasefire (22:00 GMT) kicked in.
"Ukraine is expecting an escalation and taking all necessary measures to be able to respond," Mr Mekhed told reporters.
Ukraine's volunteer Azov battalion said pro-Russian rebels were using artillery and tanks to attack Shyrokyne, a village near Mariupol, on Saturday morning.
The port city lies between rebel-held eastern areas and the southern Crimea peninsula, which was annexed by Russia last March.

A young child was killed in Artemivsk in what the local authorities said was shelling by rebels

Government forces were also reported to have retaken a number of villages around Mariupol

President Poroshenko said despite the agreement there was a "long way to go to peace"

Speaking earlier, President Poroshenko said that despite what had been agreed in Minsk, "Russia's offensive operations have intensified".
"We are still convinced that the Minsk achievements are in a big danger," he added.
'Serious live fire' The group responsible for monitoring the ceasefire said it remained hopeful, despite there being "quite serious live fire" in several areas.
"We feel that the Minsk agreements are really the only available roadmap to a sustainable ceasefire," Michael Bociurkiw, spokesman for the OSCE, told the BBC.
In another development, a consignment of armoured vehicles from the UK has been delivered to Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence confirmed.
It said they were out-of-service, unarmed vehicles and were not lethal equipment.
