<b>Britain’s biggest family are expecting their 18th child, and they are adamant that this will be their last.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sue and Noel Radford told the <b><a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/6178734/Mum-of-Britains-biggest-family-is-expecting-her-18th-baby.html">Sun</a></b> their family is big enough after receiving the 14 week scan of their latest arrival.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The family, who can nearly make up two football teams with their sprogs, do not receive any benefits and say learning of their new baby was ‘the perfect Christmas gift’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their oldest child is 25-year-old Chris, and their daughter Sophie, 21, has two children of her own.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sue, 38, said: ‘We are really, really excited. It is the best news I could hope for after a difficult year. It feels like a blessing.’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The proud mum had a miscarriage earlier this year, and said she was ‘thrilled’ to learn she was pregnant again.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘My kids don’t want for anything but they are not spoilt,’ said Sue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>International businessman with billions of dollars to his name, Richard Branson, has lambasted the crop of leaders we have in Nigeria for their high level greed which, according to him, is killing big brands wishing to do business with the government of the country, for the growth of Nigeria’s economy.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below is the revelation by Mr. Branson on his experience in Nigeria…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The chairman of Virgin Atlantic said: “…we have Virgin’s ill-fated footsteps by setting up a new airline in Africa in conjunction with Nigerian government…the details of the doomed attempts to crack the Nigerian market in the 2000s is better imagined…We put together a very good airline-the first airline in West Africa that was ever IOSA/IATA operational safety audit accredited but unfortunately it got tied down to the politics of the country…we led the airlines for 11 years…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We fought daily battle against government agents who wanted to daily make fortune from us, politicians who saw the government 49% as a meal to seek for all kinds of favour…watchdogs (regulatory body) that didn’t know what to do and persistently asking for bribes at any point…Nigeria people are generally nice but the politicians are very insane…that may be irony because the people make up the politicians…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“But those politicians are selfish…we did make N3billion for the federal government of Nigeria during the joint venture…realising that the government didn’t bring nothing to the table/partnership except dubious debts by the previous carrier, Nigeria Airways…The joint venture should have been the biggest African carrier by now if the partnership was allowed to grow, but the politicians killed it…Nigeria is a country we SHALL NEVER consider to doing business again..”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">By Soni Daniel, Ikechukwu Nnochiri and Erunke Joseph, Vanguard Newspapers</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Tension is mounting at the Presidency and the core North over the court case challenging the eligibility of President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2015 presidential election.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Competent sources said, last night, that the Presidency was worried that the case could upset its political permutations should the Supreme Court rule against Jonathan running in the election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main headache of the Presidency is that if the apex court rules that its principal could not run in 2015, it would be difficult for the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to organise another National Convention to elect another candidate to meet the deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said to be December 18, two days after the hearing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The case was said to have been on the radar of presidential minders believed to have also made contacts to know how the case could go and the justices to sit on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, Jonathan’s opponents, particularly from the core North, it was learnt, were expectant that the case would be decided against the president having taken the oath of office twice for the office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Sunday Vanguard</i> gathered from judicial sources that top officials of the Supreme Court were aware of the heightened interest in the case, slated for hearing on Tuesday, December 16, 2014 and were working hard to block undue access to the case file.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The heightened tension, according to the sources, manifested in unceasing enquiries over the composition of the panelists to hear the crucial matter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the case was filed during the tenure of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Aloma Mukthar, the sources said there had been intense pressure on the current CJN, who took over about two weeks ago, to reconstitute the panel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those in support of Jonathan were said to be rooting for a justice sympathetic to his cause to head the panel while those who want the president disqualified from running in the 2015 election, favoured a neutral and fearless arbiter to preside over the case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A top judicial official confirmed that the CJN was yet to re-constitute the panel to hear the case at the close of work on Friday even though he was aware that the case had been slated for hearing on Tuesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The official said it was normal in a very crucial judicial matter of that nature for the CJN to interfere in the composition of the panelists to ensure that justice is delivered to all the parties concerned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: “The eligibility case filed by some persons against President Jonathan is a serious matter, which the CJN has taken notice of and the normal process of setting up the panel, a few hours to the hearing, will be done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As at the close of work at the weekend, no panel had been raised by the CJN and we believe that, because of the sensitive nature of the matter and the interest it has generated, the CJN will empanel a team to handle it at the right time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This is not the first time such a case is coming before the Supreme Court and there is an established procedure for dealing with such matters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“In a case of this nature, the CJN might want to put in neutral justices in the panel taking into consideration where they come from, their maturity, objectivity, and how they have handled similar critical assignments in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Anxiety</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A northern politician from Kano State, who has been campaigning against Jonathan’s presidency, said he was hopeful that Jonathan would lose the case and return power to the North, ”where the presidency is supposed to be following the death of Umaru Yar’Adua.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But a PDP governor, who spoke to <i>Sunday Vanguard</i>, last night, expressed optimism that the president had the right to run for second term, having merely completed the tenure of the late president before seeking a fresh mandate in accordance with the Constitution of Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Obviously, I don’t think there is anything to worry about as far as this case is concerned,” the governor said. ”There is no law that says that Jonathan should not run in 2015 and that is it”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The anxiety over the case follows the declaration by INEC that the different parties must submit to it the names of their candidates for the 2015 elections in the shortest possible time as stipulated by the law.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The commission said, last night, that it was awaiting the parties to forward to it lists of candidates and their running mates where necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it said it will only recognize candidates that emerged from primaries supervised by its officials, warning politicians who conducted parallel party primaries not to approach it with any list. Mr Kayode Idowu, Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, who spoke in a telephone interview with <i>Sunday Vanguard</i>, said the electoral law was clear on the time frame, and asked all parties to rectify their problems where necessary with a view to forwarding their candidates to the electoral body.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It will be recalled that the Supreme Court had okayed the appeal filed before it by a chieftain of the PDP, from Adamawa State, Dr. Umar Ardo, for hearing on a day Jonathan insisted he was legally qualified to contest the 2015 presidential election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The president, through his lawyer, ‎Mr. Ade Okeaya-Inneh, SAN, told the court that he had cited legal authorities backing his re-election bid.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He argued that Ardo had no case against him‎, insisting that he is permitted by the 1999 Constitution to go for a second tenure in office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>'Busy body'</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‎Ardo is, through his lawyer, Dr. A. Amuda Kannike, praying the court to stop Jonathan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He is further challenging the refusal of the Abuja Division of the Appeal Court to join him as a party in the suit that was originally filed against the president by another member of the PDP, Mr. Cyriacus Njoku.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He contended that the outcome of that case will personally affect him since the PDP had adopted Jonathan as its sole candidate for the 2015 presidential poll.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‎However, a three-man panel of the Appeal Court declined to join him as a party to the suit, describing him as a meddlesome interloper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The court branded him a “busy body”, saying he lacked <i>locus standi</i> to challenge the judgement  that was delivered by Justice Mudashiru ‎Oniyangi of the FCT High Court on March 1, 2013, which declared Jonathan legally fit to contest for second term next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In an unanimous decision, the Court of Appeal panel, ‎led by Justice Abubakar Yahaya, ordered Ardo to pay N50,000 costs to the president and the PDP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‎The court held that Ardo’s application was completely devoid of any merit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, Jonathan challenged the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court where Ardo lodged an appeal to ‎set aside that decision of the appellate court which he said was flawless.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He further contended that Ardo was not a party before the High Court and did not show any good ground on why he should be joined at the Appeal Court.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‎Jonathan noted that whereas the main appeal by Njoku was filed on April 16, 2013, Ardo waited till September 23 to apply with a view to be allowed to seek his disqualification from participating in the 2015 election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Njoku, a member of the PDP in Zuba Ward, Abuja, had, in his appeal, insisted that the lower court misinterpreted the law to favour Jonathan, even as he urged the court to go ahead and determine “whether Section 135(2) of the Constitution, which specifies a period of four years in office for the president, is only available or applicable to a person elected on the basis of an actual election or includes one in which a person assumes the position of president by operation of law, as in the case of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arguing that Jonathan is constitutionally barred from contesting the presidency in 2015, the plaintiff prayed the court to determine “whether Section 137(1) (b) of the Constitution, which provides that a person shall not be qualified for election to the office of president, if he has been elected to such office at any two previous elections, applies to the first defendant, who first took an oath of office as substantive President on May 6, 2010 and took a second oath as President on May 29, 2011.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He is also seeking a declaration that ‘the president’s tenure of office began on May 6, 2010 when his first term began and his two terms shall end on May 29, 2015 after taking his second oath of office on May 29, 2011; and by virtue of Section 136 (1) (b) of the Constitution, no person (including the first defendant) shall take the oath of allegiance and the oath of office prescribed to in the Seventh Schedule to this Constitution more than twice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He further asked the court for an order of injunction restraining president Jonathan from further contesting or attempting to vie for president after May 29, 2015 when his tenure shall by the Nigerian Constitution end.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The so-far unnamed lothario hatched a plan to hoist himself up in a crane outside her bedroom window so he could sing a song and romantically ask his beloved’s hand in marriage.</div>

The incident ocurred when a man tried to surprise his girlfriend by proposing from the top of the crane, which then toppled on to the house, though no injuries were reported.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More damage was done when the company tried to right the crane again and it fell a second time. Nobody else was injured.</div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
But… somehow our Dutch lothario still managed to woe his girlfriend with the failed proposal (it was certainly memorable) and she said yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The couple are now recovering/celebrating their engagement in Paris.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is currently unknown how much it will cost to fix the damage and who will be responsible for the bill.</div>

<b>An 11-year-old girl is back with her family after setting off on a £1,600 taxi ride.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lovestruck Alexis Waller left a note for her worried family telling them she had run away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She went to a nearby petrol station with $10,000 in cash that she had taken from her grandma’s sock drawer before hitching a lift to Little Rock.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From there she got a cab to take her on the 800-mile trip to Jacksonville, Florida. The reason for a trip, she said, was to go and see a boy she met a couple of years ago and who had kept in touch with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She told <a href="http://www.arkansasmatters.com/story/d/story/girl-grabs-grandmothers-cash-takes-cross-country-c/18279/3sdJKL3M4ku8MohugZodGw"><b>Kark</b></a>: ‘He didn’t really ask anything, he just asked me where I needed to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘I said “I need to go to Jacksonville, Florida”. He’s like: “Do you have money” and I’m like “yes”.’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She was asked to pay $1,300 up front (£827) and said she would give the rest of the money when they arrived.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her worried parents thought she might have been kidnapped and police were able to locate her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They got in touch with the driver and they stopped nine hours away in Atlanta, Georgia, where her parents drove to meet her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking about his relief, her dad Brent said: ‘You have the rest of your life to punish her, and you just want to hug her and just love her because you got her back and that’s what’s important.’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>MY REMARKS:</b> <i>Wahala dey o! 11 year old girl sabi love for oyinbo land? Hehehehe!!! I can't stop laughing. And if you find out the lover boy's age, don't be surprised he may be 9 or 10. No wonder they give birth at 12, 13. End time!</i></div>
