<b>Floyd "Money" Mayweather has stayed true to his nickname by posting online pictures of a series of winning bets that earned him nearly $1 million.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After beating Manny Pacquiao to earn a reported $180 million in boxing's richest ever fight in Las Vegas on May 2, the American added $827,000 to his fortune gambling on a combination of NBA games and the bout between middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and Willy Monroe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 38-year-old's social media accounts - he has 7 million followers on <a href="https://instagram.com/floydmayweather/">Instagram</a> and over 6 million on <a href="https://twitter.com/floydmayweather">Twitter</a> - are a testament to his love of conspicuous consumption, detailing his devotion to luxury goods collection: from private jets to jewelery, sports cars and yachts.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a radio interview in March, American rapper 50 Cent said he would bet $1.6 million on Mayweather to beat Pacquiao, saying he didn't have any doubts that "Money" would win at the MGM-Grand in Las Vegas.</div>

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

Interlopers, Intruders, SAGIP Seize Buhari’s Throat - By Joe Igbokwe

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since March 28 2015 when General Buhari made unforgettable history in a political landscape, I have put my eyes and ears on the ground to monitor the events around the President-elect whether he is in Daura, Katsina or at the Defense House, Abuja. All manner of people including those who are claiming to be trekking for the President elect (even though they may not have voted for the General), interlopers, intruders, scavengers, supporters of any government in power (SAGIP), Defectors from PDP, professional congratulators, food is ready professionals, Five Minutes to greatness vagabonds and cheats have not allowed the President elect to have a breathing space. They have no shame, no honor, no history, no antecedents, no records to show, no decency, no grace to show the world except the inordinate and desire to belong at all cost. They were yesterday’s men who were ardent followers of PDP, those who pillaged and plundered the common patrimony, those who killed, those who preached hate and swore to disgrace the President elect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They sponsored hate Advertorial on the Radio, TV stations and on the pages of Newspapers. They pulled down Buhari’s posters and billboards and cursed the day he was born. They used pulpits to abuse and cursed him as an uncircumcised religious bigot who wants to rule Nigeria at all cost and consequently Islamize Nigeria. They abused his family, his wife, his children, his in-laws, his supporters, his associates as Osus (outcasts in Igboland). They murdered his supporters across Nigeria with reckless abandon especially in Rivers and Akwa Ibom State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the South East, these 21st century idiots and animals stole the people’s mandate and made supporters of Buhari to look like foreigners in their own land. In Lagos the Odua Peoples’ Congress led by Chief Gani Adams and Dr Faseun did the unthinkable on a Monday morning in Lagos from the old Toll gate to the National Stadium Surulere. They seized Lagos, abused Lagos, vandalized Lagos, humiliated Lagos and disgraced Lagos and the South West Nigeria. As they marched with Tanks and hundreds of AK47 these unrepentant rogues pulled down APC Campaigns materials on the entire stretch, leaving only their useless campaign materials to stand, and history recorded it. In the South East, the moribund, useless, and criminal MASSOB, an outlawed organization like OPC seized Umuahia and other state capital replicating what OPC did in Lagos. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These compound idiots milling around Buhari today told us that he has no certificate and therefore an illiterate. They told us that he is sick and has cancer. They said he is too old to rule Nigeria. They said Buhari is unelectable. They used money, brute force of the police, Army, DSS, SSS etc to stop him but the man of destiny remained undaunted. He moved on, braved it and damned the consequences. The rest is now history. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now look at them, like rain beaten chickens, lining up to seek Buhari’s hand shake and favour. Look at the shameless shenanigans swarming like bees around Buhari, pouring encomiums and singing like parrots how they did this or that for him even when it is obvious that they are the ones who tried to tear down the man of destiny. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In one fell swoop almost all of them abandoned President Jonathan who provided shelter to them as Vice President and President for eight years. Since Buhari won the election on March 28 2015, thousands of visitors to Aso Rock have dropped to a miserable level, almost zero. They have also abandoned the Party (PDP) that gave them succor for 16years. Unbelievably they have called the party that sheltered them for sixteen years a forest. Hours on end, they are knocking at APC doors in order to find a place to hide. They have no ideas on how to go and build their party. They have no plans whatsoever where to start. Having been in power for sixteen years I guess they have so become used to power that it may be difficult if not impossible to survive without being in power.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two pictures of Jonathan’s Aso Rock and Buhari;s temporary residence in Abuja which were published on the front page of the Punch on Sunday, May 17, 2015 tells a big and pathetic story of what has become of PDP and its followers after sixteen years. How are the mighty fallen? What went wrong? How did the boastful PDP got to this sorry pass? Where did the rains start beating them? What caused the mess we see these days?  Who will bell the cat? Who will build the new PDP the way Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Where are the men and women who will do this job? This is indeed ugly and at best, despicable. Where is the capacity and strength to do this great job? I fear for PDP. I fear that APC may not have opposition for a long time to come and this is not good for Nigeria. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now my advice to Buhari is to look above those deceitful and ugly crowds to find his real and actual supporters, the poor men and women who did the actual job. I want General Buhari to talk to Sahara Reporters, Premium Times and few other online publications. If the story of Buhari and 2015 revolution is a book Sahara Reporters wrote 50% of it. I want Buhari to be talking to the likes of Dele Momodu, Femi Adesina, Peter Claver, Rev Moses Iloh, Rev Ikem Igbodike, Declan Ihekaire (the one man show for Buhari in Agege Lagos) Sonala Olumhense, Duro Onabule, Ceedon Adinuba, Okey Nwanguma, Godson Moneke, Dr Kelechi Nwagwu and others which time and space will not permit to list here. The President elect should remember that the late Chukwuma Azikiwe worked so hard for him. These are some of the real men I want around the President elect, and not these fakes I see around him today. Another should not work and another positions himself to reap where he did not sow. Advice I am told is like a stranger, if it is welcomed it stays for the night, if not it leaves the same day.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that its Twitter account, which on Sunday posted a series of tweets acknowledging the party's responsibility for all that has gone "wrong and bad in Nigeria in the last 16 years", was hacked.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The party also complained that in the course of the 2015 campaigns, personal positions and opinions of its members were generally reported in many instances by the media as official positions of the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The party said the tweets on Sunday could not have come from the PDP with its robust record of achievements in all sectors of Nigeria's national life within the period.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the Sunday tweets, the PDP Twitter account, @PdpNigeria, stated that the party was ready to listen to advice from Nigerians going forward.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We accept responsibility for all that has gone wrong & bad in the last 16years & we give you Nigerians the credit for successes recorded the PDP tweeted.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PDP spokesman, Olisa Metuh, on Sunday said he would issue a formal denial of the tweets Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He subsequently issued a statement informing Nigerians that henceforth only statements, utterances and positions of the National Chairman and the National Publicity Secretary or any other national officer of the party authorized by the National Working Committee shall be regarded and reported as the official position of the party in line with the relevant provisions of the PDP constitution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"For purposes of clarity, this directive does not in any way affect the inalienable constitutionally guaranteed rights of our members as free citizens to hold and air opinions but such personal opinion must not in any way be rendered or reported as the official position of the PDP", Mr. Metuh said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Consequently, media houses, particularly the electronic media and the civil society should note that only authorized persons should be invited to speak or stand in for the PDP for interviews, debates, talk shows or any other media appearance whatsoever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Furthermore, to halt the embarrassing trend in our social media handles, the party has decided to decommission our official Twitter and Facebook accounts for now, to pave way for proper overhauling of the system."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Metuh said the decision is pursuant to determination of the party's leadership to rebuild and reposition it, instil discipline, check unnecessary divergences and put the PDP on a strong footing to regain power in 2019.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Additionally, in the new spirit of rebuilding and repositioning, the national leadership charges all members who have genuine grievances to channel such through the appropriate organs of the PDP for redress using the internal conflict resolution mechanisms that abound in our party', Mr. Metuh said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Finally, we urge the media to always crosscheck with the relevant officials of our party on official matters before going to press."</div>
