On not being into technology: 

“Honestly, I still don’t use my computer. My kids use the computer more than I do! I understand that a lot of people are into it, and I have days where I write and stuff, but it’s really not for me. It’s not my thing.”On haters:

“Whoever is in the spotlight, people are really quick to judge. I mean, there are a lot of kids coming up who’ve experienced that. It’s just the way the world works, unfortunately. I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I kind of don’t pay attention to it. I have my relationship with God and myself and that’s what matters to me. I really don’t care what most people think.”

$2.1bn arms deal: Badeh releases statement, says he is being persecuted

Embattled former Chief of Defence Staff , Lt Gen Alex Badeh, has denied claims that he was involved in the misappropriation of $2.1 billion arms procurement fund. In a statement he released today March 3rd, Badeh alleged that he is being persecuted. Read the statement after the cut...

It has been widely reported in the news that I am being investigated over the $2.1 Billion Arms deal but that is not true. I was not part of Dasuki gate.The claim that 5 properties were acquired for me from the $2.1billion funds is also false.

I was Chief of Air staff from Oct 2012 to January 2014 and then appointed CDS. During my time serving as the CDS, funds for weapons were directly released to the Chief of Air staff, army staff and naval staff and not to me. I had no control over the funds and yet I am being accused of embezzling weapons funds.‎The office of the CDS had no operational control of the services and had nothing to do with their spending. The EFCC’s claim that I received $800,000 from my Director of Finance and accounts is untrue. I did not receive such money from the erstwhile DFA. If he claims to have given me money, where is the proof? Was it paid into my account? Did I sign for it?

In the case of the properties, if they claim the properties are mine and were obtained illegally through proxies then they should go to the court and get an order of forfeiture rather than trying to insist I am the owner of the properties. It is unfortunate that the media has unwittingly allowed itself to be used by interested parties to become judge jury and executioner in my case. Even when they claimed Billions were found in accounts of wives of some past Air Force officers, none was found with my family yet EFCC keeps generalizing and making it look like my family is involved too. It is rather unfortunate that the nation which I fought so hard within my means to defend against Boko Haram insurgents cannot guarantee my fundamental human rights.

During my time as the CDS, lives of both soldiers and civilians were lost. Territories were lost. We fought to regain our nation’s territorial integrity and the insurgents pushed back.

I LOST MY PERSONAL HOUSE AND HOSPITAL IN DEFENCE OF MY FATHERLAND (A hospital which I built many years ago and was equally used in the treatment of injured soldiers). NOW I AM LOSING MY FREEDOM TO THE SAME FATHERLAND THAT I FOUGHT SO HARD TO DEFEND

During the 2014 Boko haram attack on my village Vimtim, it was widely reported in the media that I sent a helicopter to evacuate my parents and relatives. Which parents? I am an orphan, I lost my father in the 70’s and my mother in 2013. My cousin, who lived next to me, was killed during the 2014 attack on my village. So who exactly did I evacuate? It is unfortunate that I didn’t come out to clarify some of these issues when they were reported in the media.

I was detained by The EFCC for 3 weeks and was not charged to court but was given onerous bail conditions by the Commission which I could not meet. A remand warrant was hastily obtained on the 25th February in Lagos as soon as The EFCC was served with a notice for my bail hearing in court by my lawyers. Why detain me for so long and issue such onerous bail conditions when they aren’t ready to charge me to court?

I reported to the EFCC when I was invited and would report anytime I am needed. All I ask for is to be given a fair hearing with the rule of law strictly adhered to.

It is a media trial and I am being persecuted.

Robert Mugabe proposes "castration" for monsters who rape children

President Robert Mugabe has come up with a solution to the growing rate of rape and child abuse cases. He said that castration of rapists and child abusers is the best way to stem the vice. The Zimbabwean president reportedly made this known while speaking during his 92nd birthday celebrations at the Great Zimbabwe Monuments on Saturday, February 26.

Mugabe said he was confused by people who abuse minors.

"What sex impulse is it which gets one to abuse a little child? I wonder what enough punishment for such people is," he said. "Can you suggest how such brutal monsters amongst us that rape babies should be punished … burdizzo (castration device) We should make them oxen, some people should be made oxen."

However, Mugabe noted that the government is going to attract the wrath of human rights defenders if it were to go ahead with such a plan.

"Again, human rights people will say it (castration) is too severe. Sharia Law says if you use your hand to steal, that hand must be cut off. Now you use what to abuse the child? I think that which you use should be cut off. They will go and get an artificial one (I)think," he said, amid laughter and applause from the thousands of villagers who braved the light showers that characterised the event.

The proposal seemed to get the backing of Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko and Women’s Affairs minister Nyasha Chikwinya, Zimbabwe Southern Eye reports.

'I don't understand Caitlyn Jenner's decision to date men' - ex-wife Kris says

Kris Jenner says she doesn't understand why her ex-husband Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner has decided to date men after being with only women all his life. Speaking as a guest on the EllenDegeneres Show this week, the popular TV host reminded Kris that the last time she was at the show she was with Bruce Jenner on Valentine's day and asked if she was surprised at his recent decision to start dating men.

'The last time you were here on the show, you were here with Bruce on Valentine’s Day,' the host recalled. 'And now she is Caitlyn. It's confusing because for a while she was not saying whether she was going to date women or men, and now apparently she has said that she's going to date men.' Ellen said

Kris replied

"I saw that, too. I think that I really want her to be happy and be really comfortable in all the things where she says she wasn’t her true authentic self for most of her life. [She] knew when she was 4 that she felt like that. So you don’t want somebody to be miserable or in pain or any of that. I think for me, just getting used to that - you know I am human and I have my feelings and I try and it's baby steps - and it's like the mourning of somebody that you feel you are never going to really see or be with again."

When Ellen brought up Caitlyn's new sexuality orientation again, Kris said:

'That part of it I don't understand. I said to her, when this first happened, "you're so excited, you have to wait for the rest of us to catch up,"'

On a trailer for the new season of I Am Cait, Caitlyn, 66, is seen telling a friend: 'To be honest with you, I don’t see myself dating women in the future. I’ve been there, done that, got three ex-wives,'

Katie Price backtracks after receiving criticism for saying she would have aborted her son if she knew he'll be disabled

Ex-model and TV Personality Katie Price has backtracked comments she made during an appearance on Loose Women, an ITV chat show saying she would probably have aborted her son Harvey had she known about his disabilities while she was pregnant.

 

Her 13-year-old child, Harvey, from a previous relationship with retired footballer Dwight Yorke, suffers from a rare genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome, as well as autism, ADHD and blindness.

 

On the show she revealed she would have aborted him if she knew he'll be disabled because as at the time of pregnancy she didn't know what life will throw at her.

 

Speaking on Loose Women, she said:

'I was young when I had Harvey and I admit it: If I'd have known he was blind when I had him, as harsh as it sounds, I probably would have aborted him.'

'Now it's like oh my god, no way,' she said. 'Now if they said I was going to have a child with disabilities, I would definitely keep it. I would even adopt a child with disabilities. 

'Until you are in that situation, you don't know.'  

She said: 'Anyone who’s a carer, mother, anyone dealing with disabilities, I have so much respect because I know what goes into it.' 

She added: ‘I absolutely love Harvey so much. I would never change anything about him

'Yes it’s challenging, but it’s also rewarding. He’s a great character and I love him. I don’t think anyone should be ashamed at all if they’ve got a child with disabilities.’

The ex-model received a lot of criticism online after making her revelations while some also praised her for coming out to say 'the truth' and Katie took to Twitter to backtrack her comments and praise the son.
