Beverly Osu says that she never had sex with Angelo in the Big Brother Africa house. 

"Angelo and I never had sex.I didn’t have sex in the house. I never had sex in the house". 

Punch: But we saw the two of you in the bath tub, making love

Beverly: We didn’t have sex. It was not an option for us. I don’t know where the people outside got the story from. I was shocked when I came out of the house and learnt that we had sex. I cannot take my bath with a swimming suit. We all take our bath naked. I shouldn’t be singled out because I went for a reality show. I am not different

Punch: What of all the other intimate things you did with Angelo? Didn’t you mind that the whole world was watching?


Beverly: Whatever I was doing with Angelo, I didn’t even think I was on TV. It was just the two of us. We didn’t plan anything, we were just happy. No matter how people will look at it, I don’t regret anything I did with Angelo. I didn’t bring out the video and said everybody should look at me. Big Brother brought out the video.

Punch: How come it was Angelo you fell in love with in the house?

Beverly:I had so many options to choose from in the house but I wasn’t attracted to any of them. But for some reasons I still do not understand, I fell in love with Angelo. I got attracted to him from the first day I saw him. For now, I will see where the relationship will take us.
 Punch: So, you don’t mind the difference in nationalities?

Beverly: There is no race when it comes to love. I can always go there and he can come here.

 Punch: Don’t you think you embarrassed Nigeria in the house?

Beverly: I was in the house to represent Nigeria. Of all the people that went for the audition, I was chosen. If anybody feels he can do better, he should go and get BBA form next year and apply and get in the house. I know I represented Nigeria very well.

 Punch: You said so many things in the house. Were they all true or were you looking for sympathy?


Beverly: I am a shy person. I shy away from a lot of things. But I was ‘open’ in the house. I say what is on my mind. For me to reveal myself to the world, I was just talking to my housemates. I don’t regret anything I said about myself or my family. People have to know the real me.
 Punch: You mentioned something about a boyfriend that abused you. Were you referring to 2shots?


Beverly: No. I wasn’t referring to him. For me, 2shots is history. Thank you for reminding me about him.

 Punch: Is your mother happy with you?

Beverly: Even if the whole world rejects me, my mother cannot reject me. I love her so much. I am her only daughter and last born. She has always been there for me. I wouldn’t want to disappoint my mum intentionally.

 Punch: Were there things you did in the house you regret?

Beverly: Nothing. I don’t have any regrets. I was in a beautiful house. I loved Melvin. He was the best in the house. Meeting everybody in the house was a blessing. I don’t regret anything.

 Punch: What would you have done with the prize money if you had won?

Beverly: I would have finished school. I would have started my make-up line. Trust me; I would have done a lot of things. Everybody has a degree. I must get a degree. With my degree, I can go further and do anything I want to do.

Lekki-Epe Road: Lagos to Raise N87.5bn to Acquire Concession Rights!

Nigeria:

The Lagos State Government has unveiled a plan to issue bonds totalling N87.5 billion before the end of the 2013 fiscal year to take over the concession rights of the Lekki-Epe Expressway from the Lekki Concession Company (LCC).

The state government also spoke on plans to restructure its borrowing plan, noting that the N30 billion previously sought under the World Bank Development Policy Operation (DPO II) “will no longer materialise this year.”

The plan was contained in a letter dated August 19, which Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN), addressed to the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, thereby seeking approval of the assembly.

Governor Babatunde Fashola 

In his letter, the governor pointed out the need for the state government “to issue bonds totalling N87.5 billion in this year, instead of the N35 billion originally envisaged” under the 2013 fiscal regime.

He, therefore, explained the rationales behind a change in the state fiscal plan, which he ascribed to the need “to cover the shortfall in the internally generated revenue (IGR) and the delay in disbursement of the World Bank DPO II.”

The governor added that the plan to issue the N87.5 billion bonds was basically to finance the acquisition of the concession rights (of the Lekki-Epe expressway) and take control of the toll regime for the benefit of our citizens.”

Fashola said the state government would continue “to maintain its fiscal strategy designed to promote sustainable economic growth through the adoption of more accurate revenue estimates; gradual diversification of the state economy into new areas and provision of enabling investment climate in the state.”

He expressed the state government’s willingness, “to maintain sustainable public borrowing and efficient public debt management. Even though the resultant deficit has risen to N79.865 billion, it is still consistent with our fiscal policy of declining deficit when compared with the 2012 actual deficit, which was N89.45 billion.”

At the assembly’s plenary yesterday, the state Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Ben Akabueze, said the decision to acquire the concession was for the interest of the residents of the state.

The commissioner explained that part of the plan by government for the review of the agreement with the LCC was to pay them off in order to take full possession of the road.

Akabueze said the government had already committed about N10 billion “to the funding of the project which took off in 2004 billed to cost N50 billion,” addingthat: “The state government will determine how much to be paid by motorists as toll on the road instead of allowing the concessionaire to fix prices when and how it likes.”

Also last night, the state government explained its position on the plan to buy-back the concession rights, attributing it to the agitation by the concessionaire to jack up the toll.

It also said the concession agreement with the concessionaire was not terminated as reported by a section of the media.

The state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeola Ipaye and his finance counterpart, Mr. Ayodele Gbeleyi, explained the state's decision in a statement they jointly signed yesterday.

According to the statement, the state government had neither terminated nor cancelled the concession agreement it entered into with the LCC to reconstruct and expand the expressway.

The statement said the state government "is engaged in buying back the rights pertaining to the concession ahead of the 30-year period stipulated in the Design, Build, Operate and Transfer (DBOT) Concession Agreement. This is to be achieved by purchasing all the shares in the LCC."

The statement explained that the state government came "to this decision to buy back the rights in the light of several developments clearly not envisaged in the 2006 Concession Agreement (which became effective in 2008).

"The project, given its pioneering nature, had some underlying assumptions and market indicators under which the transaction was concluded which have since drastically changed in a manner that it can no longer be sustained in its current form. Such include the devaluation of the Naira and costs of construction

"The LCC, which is the special purpose vehicle representing the investors, formally brought it to the attention of the state government that given the rapid rise in interest rates on local loans, and other cost parameters, it is compelled to raise tolls currently being charged at Toll Plaza One from N120.00 to N144.00 per car.

"The concessionaire also brought it to the attention of the state government, that as provided for under the agreement, tolling would have to commence at Toll Plaza Two.

"In addition, the concessionaire indicated that unless it realised more income from increased rates at Toll Plaza One and commence tolling at the same rate per Car at Toll Plaza Two, it would not be able to meet its commitments to investors in the project and continue to fund completion of the remaining sections of the road.

"The LCC stated that Toll Plaza Three, as contained in the agreement, must be built and tolls collected for the continued viability of the project. Under such circumstances, the state government felt obliged to buy out the interests of the concessionaire in advance of the hand-over date of 2038 under a mutual settlement option also expressly provided for in the Concession Agreement," the statement said.

The statement added that the decision to acquire the concession was taken after due consultation with all major stakeholders including the State House of Assembly based on various feedback and agitation the state government received from the concessionaire

Boy's Eyes Gouged Out By Woman in china!

A six-year-old boy is recovering in hospital after his eyes were gouged out in an horrific attack in China.

Guo Bin receiving treatment in hospital

The child, who has been named as Guo Bin, went missing from his home in the country’s Shanxi Province on Saturday evening.

He had failed to return home for dinner after playing outside.

Five hours later, the child was discovered by his parents with both eyes missing.

The young boy's mother said she found her son near their home.

His face was covered with blood but he was conscious and spoke to her, reportedly claiming that he had been attacked by a female who spoke with a strange accent.

Speaking from the hospital where he is being treated, the youngster's father explained what he said happened.

"[He was] walking down the street, then someone just carried him away. This is what my son told me. We asked him on the way [to hospital].

"He knew exactly what was happening. He said there was a person gouging his eyes with 'a thing', and he cried.

"The person then told him: 'Don't cry. If you stop crying I'll stop gouging your eyes'."

An initial suggestion in the Chinese media claimed the child's eyes were found nearby with the cornea missing.

Uncorroborated reports said that the attack may have been connected to China's illegal trafficking of human organs.

However, local police have now said they do not believe the attack was in any way related to organ trafficking and that while the eyes were found near the boy, the cornea had not been removed.

It remains possible that authorities are denying the link to trafficking in order to cover-up an embarrassing problem.

The director of Shanxi Eye Hospital, where the boy is being treated, has said that the child is now making a recovery but that his sight will never be recovered.

"The boy's general condition is stable. We conducted a three-hour check on his eyes yesterday, mainly on the trauma his eyes suffered," Yang Caizhen said.

"Our hospital established a treatment group for this case, and it's been confirmed that the boy is definitely going to be blind.

"His eyeballs are gone. Current medical technology has no means to help a patient whose eyeballs are gone by installing artificial eyes. There is no such technology in the world yet."

A local police chief, named only as Liu, said that he could not speculate on a motive for the attack.

"We are sparing no efforts trying to solve this case," he added.

A reward of RMB100,000 (£10,000) has been offered to anyone with information about the attack.

Canadian woman steals back stolen bicycle!

A Vancouver woman earned widespread notoriety Tuesday for stealing back her bicycle from a thief after seeing it advertised online.

Kayla Smith, 33, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that her Can$1,000 (US$950) bicycle was taken from a rack in Vancouver's oceanfront Olympic Village -- constructed to host athletes during the 2010 Winter Games and now a bustling neighborhood.

Smith filed a police report.

The next day, she spotted an ad on the classified advertisements website Craigslist for a bike that looked suspiciously like hers, so she contacted the seller and arranged to meet him in a nearby McDonald's parking lot, posing as a buyer.

She told the CBC she immediately recognized her bike, with personalized stickers on the frame.

"Holy crap this is my bike," Smith told the public broadcaster. "Like what do I do? And then I was just, like, play dumb."

The woman asked the seller if she could ride it around the parking lot and took off.

As news of her daring dash spread online, police cautioned against confronting thieves, but her actions continued to draw praise.

SSS grills the mother of the boy found under Arik plane tyre hole!

The mother of the 13-year-old stowaway, Ricky Daniel Ohikhena, who on Friday (August 23rd, 2013) hid in the tyre compartment of an Arik plane on a flight from Benin to Lagos, was on Monday quizzed for hours by a combined team of security operatives from the Department of State Security Service and aviation security.

 

 

The mother, Evelyn, who confirmed that she was quizzed by the SSS operatives, said her son was a nice boy who never displayed any tendency for such a dangerous venture.

An embattled Evelyn said Daniel was a nice boy who did not mingle with bad friends.

 

  

She said, “My son answers Daniel in school and Ricky at home. I went to my elder sister’s place who put to bed and when I got home the next morning (Saturday), I couldn’t find him. My daughter told me that they quarrelled in the night because he woke at midnight to watch movies and she told him to stop watching movie in the night and she said he eventually slept in the parlour while she said she went back to sleep in the room.

“One of his younger brothers said he saw him remove all his school books from his bag; so I asked my neighbours whether any of them saw him and they told me that at around 5 to 6 am, they heard sounds that somebody was opening the gate but never thought it was my son. He doesn’t go out. What I know is that he is always watching films in the house but he doesn’t have friends.

“I went to Oba Market police station, they referred me to Evbuotubu police station, when I got there they said they will declare him missing after 24 hours and that I should come back the next day.”

 

Speaking on the type of person her son is, Evelyn said, “He is always at home, I have never seen anybody come to look for him and he doesn’t have friends. I am begging the government to help me, because I have never been to the airport before, I have been to Lagos before so they should help me. I don’t know how he manage to get there but I just thank God that he is alive".

Celebs at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards reacts to baby North West's photo!

After Kanye West debuted the first public photo of he and Kim kardashian's two-month-old daughter on the season finale of Kris jenners talk show Friday,





Celebs are continuing to share their thoughts on Kimye's bundle of joy.
And before the stars were buzzing about Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, the red carpet was filled with aww-worthy chatter about baby Nori—whose proud papa also put on a show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.


"Everybody's jumping around, going crazy," Busta Rhymes told E! News of the world's reaction to the adorable tot.
"So adorable I just want to squeeze that baby," Lil Kim agreed.


 Lovebirds Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks had a similar reaction,
 

telling E! News, "Her cheeks are so huge!! She is so amazing and cute. It's OMG [reaction] first because she hid her for so long and second cause she is so adorable and beautiful."

Fifth Harmony continued the North West lovefest
"Aww I saw her yesterday she is so cute," the gals of 5H told E! News on the carpet. "She has such a full set of hair. She looks more like Kim then Kanye. I am so happy for her and Kanye."

 

And even rapper Future couldn't help but show off his softer side while cooing over little Nori, calling Kim and Kanye's daughter "breathtaking" (too cute!).
Iggy Azalea also said Nori "has some beautiful hair like her mom," while Danity Kane noted that North "looks a lot like both of them [Kim and Kanye]"


 

Real Housewives of New Jersey's Melissa and Joe Gorga commented on baby North's big reveal, saying how it was nice to see Nori make her debut on something other than the cover of a magazine.
"She is very cute and I love that she put out a picture on Instagram and it wasn't some big to-do," the reality couple told E! News. "She is beautiful and she is a cute little munchkin."

And of course, the former Jersey Shore stars also had something to say.
"That baby is so beautiful just so so beautiful," Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro told E! News. "So gorgeous and I just can't believe how much that baby resembles Kim," they added, while their former costar Deena Cortese agreed the little one is "super cute."

But while the stars were busy sounding off on the carpet about North West, Kim was busy watching her man, and the new mom later took to Twitter to share how proud she was of Ye's performance.

 

Snowden got stuck in Russia after Cuba blocked entry!

"His choice of route (to Latin America via Moscow), and his request for help were an absolute surprise for us. We did not invite him," !

Former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden got stuck in the transit zone of a Moscow airport because Havana said it would not let him fly from Russia to Cuba, a Russian newspaper reported on Monday.


 
Snowden, who is wanted in the United States for leaking details of U.S. government surveillance programs, had planned to fly to Havana from Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport a day after arriving from Hong Kong on June 23.



But Snowden, who eventually accepted a year's asylum in Russia after spending nearly six weeks at Sheremetyevo, did not show up for the flight although he had been allocated a seat.
Citing several sources, including one close to the U.S. State Department, Kommersant newspaper said the reason was that at the last minute Cuba told officials to stop Snowden from boarding the Aeroflot flight.
It said Cuba had changed its mind after pressure by the United States, which wants to try Snowden on espionage charges.
Kommersant also said Snowden had spent a couple of days in the Russian consulate in Hong Kong to declare his intention of flying to Latin America via Moscow.

"His choice of route and his plea to help were a complete surprise to us. We did not invite him," Kommersant quoted a Russian state source as saying.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. 

Allowing Snowden to land would have put Cuba's relations with the United States at risk.
Ties between the United States and Russia were strained when Moscow granted Snowden asylum. Following the disagreement over Snowden, U.S. President Barack Obama postponed a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin planned for next month.
