FRESH 4RM GIM

What started out as an ambitious kid from Canada with talent, has now turned into a train wreck operating at full speed waiting to crash. According to reports, the 19-year-old crooner was arrested in Miami on suspicion of DUI and drag racing charge. But to say we’re surprised by his arrest would be a lie, and we aren’t in the business of lying. We decided to showcase the downfall of  Justin Bieber  in pictures. It’s actually not as bad as say a Charlie Sheen’s (which wasn’t all that bad) but here you go. Soak it up, take it all in. July 2013-National Pee Anywhere Except The Bathroom Day After being boo’d at the  2013 Billboard Music Awards , Justin Bieber must’ve had too much to drink because video footage showcased the head of the Beliebers peeing in a restaurant mop bucket. Maybe it was National Pee Everywhere Except The Toilet Day for which we had no clue but Bieber being the trendsetter he is obviously was ahead of the curve. Thanks, Bieber. You’re the be...

INEC, Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Thursday said ballot box snatching  would not be possible in the 2015 general elections. He, therefore, urged politicians not to engage in the illegal act in the forthcoming polls. The INEC boss also declared that political parties de-registered by the commission would not be re-registered. Jega, who spoke at the closing ceremony of a four-day retreat for INEC’s commissioners in Kaduna, said the new digitalised system would render such act invalid. He noted that any politician with such wishful dream should perish it. He said henceforth every polling booth would have a specialised digital number and all voting cards for that particular station would carry the digital number. This, he noted, would make ballot box snatching difficult for politicians. Urging politicians to play the game according to the rule, Jega noted that politicians that sna...

There has been a large car bomb explosion in the Egyptian capital Cairo, near the city’s police headquarters, officials say. There are reports of casualties. The AFP news agency has reported one person has been killed. Eyewitnesses speak of smoke rising over the city centre, and there are reports of gunfire after the blast. Newspaper reports say the front of the police building has been damaged and emergency services are at the scene. The blast comes on the eve of the anniversary of the beginning of the 2011 uprising that led to the removal of the country’s long-serving ruler Hosni Mubarak. Correspondents say that the banned Muslim Brotherhood and its partners are planning protests after Friday prayers across the country, the latest in a series of regular demonstrations against the overthrow in July of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. Brotherhood supporters are also angry over recent moves to introduce a new constitution.

Lagos State University ... on Thursday | credits: Stanley Ogidi Authorities of the Lagos State University, Ojo on Thursday shut the institution following a violent students’ demonstration. This came as the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. John Obafunwa, escaped the students’ wrath by a whisker. Obafunwa was reportedly spirited away from the university in a police uniform to avoid the molestation of the protesting students. He was allegedly “smuggled out” by the police in an Armoured Personnel Carrier. However, the rampaging students smashed his Toyota Corrola official vehicle as well as that of his personal assistant. They also destroyed some property in the administrative block of the university. To quell the crisis, the police, who stormed the campus with over 20 patrol vans and two APCs, fired teargas canisters at students, a development that also left many of them injured. Many of the injured students, especially the female, later received treatment at the...
