press statement earlier today explaining what was going on...
Taylon Davis is a 12-year-old girl with an inoperable brain tumor who had a far-fetched wish. She wanted to dance with
Beyoncé and, recently during the star's Las Vegas stop on the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, that wish was granted.
In an emotional video, above, Beyoncé swoops in, hugs the girl and
smiles while an overwhelmed Taylon wipes away tears. Then, they duet a
bit of "Love on Top" before Beyoncé sings "Survivor" to Taylon, who
responds by dancing enthusiastically.
The Friday morning terrorist
attack on Fori neighbourhood, near the famous Giwa Barracks, in

alcohol to pump up their muscles.

General Aliyu Gusau (rtd)
By Saharareporters, New York
Newly appointed Defense Minister Aliyu Gusau has resigned.
Mr. Gusau’s sudden decision to quit President Goodluck Jonathan’s
cabinet arose from what the former minister considered an act of
insubordination and indiscipline from Nigeria’s top military brass.
Several sources at the Defense Ministry told SaharaReporters that
Nigeria’s top military officers yesterday refused to have a joint
meeting with Mr. Gusau and his deputy, Musikilu Obanikoro, a former
senator.
Sources at the ministry told SaharaReporters that Nigeria’s top
military henchmen kept Mr. Gusau waiting for two days after he summoned
them to a meeting, with different military service chiefs making excuses
for their inability to meet with him and his deputy immediately.
Finally, the situation turned testy yesterday when, after keeping Mr.
Gusau and Mr. Obanikoro waiting for several hours, the Chief of Defense
Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, showed up alone for a meeting.
It is not a movie neither is the lion fake so you can stop doubting now.
A South African Zoologist, Kevin Richardson also known as the lion
whisperer, has done what many could term insane in studying the
behaviour and needs of animals, sharing a large amount of closeness with
the animals and has earned the respect accorded to him too.
Like the biblical Daniel, the zoologist calls the lions his friends
and says he is the ambassador of lions. The way he rolls around playing
with these creatures could put fear into the hearts of any man and he
amazingly gets to keep his body parts intact and live to tell the tale.
Now that’s an incredible feat to achieve!
