These days, all it requires to get them into the wrestling arena is a news report or press statement or both. Earlier this week, news filtered in that Wike had penned Amaechi's name as one of those to be handed awards at the Governor's pleasure. Rivers celebrates its golden jubilee all week long and dishing out awards to 'deserving' recipients is part of the drill.

A little girl is full of questions about American politics and she bombarded her mother with them. In an adorable series of Instagram videos that her mother posted online, Taylor asked her mother questions about where Obama went, why he had to leave, and so many others. She looked really curious and her facial expression as she asked those questions is another thing that got people to love the video. Her mother shared the video and wrote in the caption, “This all started because she wanted to know, Where did Barack Obama go? And where is the president’s house. She is still mad.” The little girl started by asking: “Where did Barack Obama go? Why do we have another president? So, why did he go? Where did he go? So, why do we have the president we have now at the same spot (Obama) was and why did he leave it anyway?” Her mother responded patiently: “Because a president can only serve two terms…” But Taylor didn't seem convinced.

A Facebook user, who posted the photos said these are staff of a commercial bank in Lagos. According to her, the workers wore school uniforms to celebrate Children's Day. Ummmm...I don't know what to say *scratches my head*

A day care worker in Maryland had been charged with murder, assault, child abuse and reckless endangerment after she was captured on video "torturing" an 8-month-old girl who later died. Leah Walden, 23, was in charge of watching Reese Bowman at Rocket Tiers Learning Center, a downtown Baltimore day-care facility, when she launched the vicious attack on her. In the video implicating Walden, she was seen using excessive blankets, which fully covered the child's head, violently snatching the child out of the crib with one arm, swinging at the baby as if she was slapping her, and placing pillows over the baby's face. She also walked out of camera range several times while holding the baby and it remains a mystery what she did to the child during those times.

            The 2017 G-7 summit is happening in Italy on Friday, and it will include a largely different group from the one that gathered last year. Four of the seven participating countries — the US, the UK, France, and Italy — are under new leadership. Perhaps the most dramatic new face is US President Donald Trump. He may find himself thriving in this environment, according to John Kirton, the director of the G7 Research Group at the University of Toronto. "It is a forum made for Donald Trump's particular style," Kirton told the Associated Press. "It is highly informal, highly interactive, and they speak in very colloquial language to each other. It is the ultimate lonely hearts club. No one understands how tough it is to have the top job except the peers with the top job in other countries." Trump may see some pushback from the other heads of state, however, for his contrarian views on climate change and free trade. Meet the G-7 leaders below >

Former pro-basketball player Rashad McCants says his relationship with Khloe Kardashian back in 2008/9 is the biggest regret of his career as it negatively affected his career. He's also said that Khloe fabricated that he cheated on her for a “Keeping Up With the Kardashian” storyline. From the  Charlotte Observer Two failed stints in the NBA Development League and a handful of international stops have been his only options. The UNC allegations haven’t helped, nor has his reputation as a bad locker room presence. But McCants’ biggest regret was his highly-publicized relationship with reality TV star Khloe Kardashian late in his career, which he said gave people an opportunity to doubt his commitment to the NBA. “Without that situation in play, I’m a $60-70 million player,” McCants said. “Easily.

It should not be a problem.”

                        LONDON — Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has become the latest senior figure in British finance to fall foul of an email prankster after being drawn into an exchange with a man pretending to be Anthony Habgood, the chairman of the Court of the Bank of England. As first reported by Financial News   on Tuesday afternoon ,  Carney exchanged emails with the anonymous hoaxer on Monday, May 22, discussing a fictitious party.

                            Good morning! Here's what you need to know in markets on Wednesday. 1.  Prime Minister Theresa May said late Tuesday that the terror threat level in Britain has been increased from "severe" to "critical" after review by the independent organization the J oint Terrorism Analysis Centre .  The increased threat level means "not only that an attack remains highly likely, but that a further attack may be imminent." 2.  The FTSE 100 lost a little ground on Tuesday after the terrorist attack in Manchester late on Monday evening.   It passed back above the psychologically significant 7,500 point mark during morning trade and stayed there for most of the day, then slipped in the hours ahead of markets closing after the pound strengthened against the dollar, closing at 7,486.

Real Madrid were crowned champions of Spain yesterday after defeating Malaga 2-0 on the final day of the season. It is their first league title since 2012 as the country has been dominated by Barcelona in the past decade.

This was narrated on twitter today by an eyewitness. Although the authenticity cannot be confirmed yet, it is necessary to have the conversation.

We've heard of a pastor spraying congregants with insecticide. We've also heard of a pastor who asked his members to eat grass and another who made them drink rat poison. The latest religious stunt being pulled by a pastor is a telephone conversation with God done in front of congregants. Pastor Paul Sanyangore of Victory World International Ministries Church filmed himself having a telephone conversation and he claimed he was speaking “directly with God”. Lol. Oh goodness! In the video shared online, the pastor claimed he has the direct phone contact of Jesus and he made the call while his congregation gave a rousing applause. He paced up and down the church hall as he carried on the conversation with God while a woman knelt in front of the church. “Hello‚ is this heaven?” the pastor was heard saying as he held the phone to his ear. “I have a woman here‚ what do you have to say about her?” the pastor speaks into his phone. “Ahh. Oh‚” he says‚ listening intently. “I sh

There is a discernable absence of the CSM vaccine in public health institutions across many states  in the South West Zone and Kwara, a survey by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) has revealed. NAN gathered from health authorities that this may not be unconnected with the fact that there had not been any major outbreak of the disease recorded in the zone. In Ibadan, the Oyo State Commissioner for Health, Dr Azeez Adeduntan, confirmed that the state had no stock of the vaccine for the Neissria Meningitis Type C presently ravaging some states. This, he said, was because there was no need for the vaccine as the state was not affected by the epidemic.
