If You Loved the Jay-Z and Solange Fight, You Should See These Photos Image Credit:  Getty By now, most people who pay attention to pop culture have heard of the video of Beyoncé's sister Solange Knowles  attacking Jay-Z in an elevator . It's been played over the weekend ad naseum, generating  hundreds   of   articles  and  blog   posts , speculating on everything from how Beyoncé  feels about it  to what the  craziest theories  on Solange's motivations were. But despite likely costing millions of dollars in media work hours and usurping real stories from the news, watching Knowles and Carter probably hasn't made you a more well-informed person. So in the interest of balancing it out a little, here are the six top photos of recent news stories you should know about:

Former US President Bill Clinton has praised the strength and health of his wife, ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, dismissing a top Republican’s public doubts about her well-being. “As far as I can tell, she’s in better shape than I am,” Mr Clinton, a Democrat, said of his wife, 66. Mrs Clinton, said to be weighing a 2016 presidential bid, fell ill in 2012. Last week, Karl Rove questioned her capacity for the White House and reportedly said she had brain damage. The New York Post reported on Tuesday that Mr Rove, the strategist behind George W Bush’s election to the White House, had told an audience in Los Angeles last week, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.” In fact, Mrs Clinton was in hospital for three days after falling ill with a stomach bug in December 2012. After becoming severely dehydrated, Mrs Clinton fell at hom...

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati The Presidency has ruled out the possibility of engaging in what it called “trade by barter”  in securing the release of the  over 200  schoolgirls abducted from the  Government  Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, by Boko Haram insurgents  on April 14. It said that in asymmetrical warfare, dialogue could also be difficult because the enemies  were usually  faceless. Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, said this in an exclusive interview with  The PUNCH   on Wednesday. He was responding to a question on whether President Goodluck Jonathan would set up a committee to negotiate with Boko Haram for the release of the   girls since the Federal Government had  said it was open to dialogue on the matter. Boko Haram Leader,  Abubakar Shekau, had in a video released on Sunday, said the sect was pr...

Chairman of the Northern Senators’ Umaru Dahiru Clear signs that President Goodluck Jonathan’s bid to extend emergency rule in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states will not have a smooth sail in the National Assembly emerged on Wednesday as members sharply disagreed on its desirability. In the Senate, members from the North met behind  closed-doors for about three hours  and resolved to vote against the extension of the state of emergency. The senators   argued  that its  extension was not the best way to combat the insurgency  in the three states. The Chairman of the Northern Senators’ Umaru Dahiru, told  journalists after the meeting, that  the group had set up a committee to meet with the governments of the affected states on the way forward. Dahiru said, “Our meeting this(Wednesday) afternoon discussed basically   the issue of emergency rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. Everybody in attendance made contribu...

ORDINARY Nigerians have started the process of taking on terrorist sect Boko Haram with residents of Rann town in Borno State attacking the insurgents and killing 200 of them in an angry reaction to their reign of terror. Up until now, Boko Haram had cowed the local population in Borno State and residents of northeastern Nigeria, freely using the area as its base. Local people had turned a blind eye to the sect's reign of terror and been indifferent to it running training camps in the area but following the abduction of the Government Girls Secondary School Chibok schoolgirls, the mood has changed. Exasperated with the endless terror unleashed upon then, local people have finally had enough and decided to take direct action to rid themselves of the menace. Early this morning, armed with just traditional fighting equipment and charms, the residents of Rann, the headquarters of Kala-Balge Local Government Area in the north eastern part of  Borno State, repelled a Boko Haram ...

There are indication that Boko Haram is set  to name their negotiator and list the names of their “brethren” they want released from prison, including those who have been convicted for terrorism, if the Nigerian government backtracks on its earlier stand not to negotiate. The Telegraph of London, in an exclusive report, said a northern cleric may be nominated by the militants to discuss with the federal government. A likely contentious aspect of their terms is the one-hostage-for-one-prisoner demand, meaning for every hostage they release, government must free a Boko Haram prisoner or detainee. The British newspaper did not name the cleric, but in the past Dr. Datti Ahmed, president of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN), attempted to broker talks between the government and the militants. The Kano-based cleric later withdrew, accusing the Goodluck Jonathan administration of being insincere. The founder of Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf, was Ahmed’s deputy at the...

General Officer Commanding newly created 7 Division of Nigerian Army, Major General Ahmed Mohammmed Wednesday escaped death by the whiskers as soldiers under his command fired shots at him. Wednesday’s mutiny, which occured in Maimalari Cantonment, Maiduguri, Borno State capital, may be the biggest “friendly” blow yet  on Nigerian Army’s war against Boko Haram terrorists. However, Mohammed’s bodyguards and aides were not so lucky as they sustained gunshot wounds from angry soldiers. The attack on the General and his men reportedly occurred when the GOC visited the cantonment. Maimalari cantonment is headquarters of 7 Division, the newest Division of Nigerian Army. Military sources revealed that soldiers at the cantonment had been complaining of insufficient ammunition, food and good allowances prior to the GOC’s visit.

Embattled General Officer Commanding 7 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Ahmed Mohammed who Wednesday morning  survived gunshot attacks by his troops has fled to Abuja, military sources have said. con had earlier broken the story that his soldiers at Maimalari cantonment, Maiduguri, opened fire on the General as he made to address the disoriented troops. But for the GOC’s armoured Toyota Landcruisder jeep, the irate soldiers would have killed the General, military sources disclosed. However, at least four of the General’s bodyguards sustained serious gunshot wounds from the mutineers. Angered by  Mohammed’s lucky escape, according to sources, the angry soldiers herded themselves to the GOC’s official residence in GRA, Maiduguri where they vandalised the building.
