Popular actor, Frank Artus, has revealed how female fans often pester entertainers for s3x.

Artus, who is born to an Egyptian father and Liberian mother and made waves in Nollywood and Ghollywood, told The Sun he is not a s3x symbol as portrayed in movies.
The 37-year-old actor said, “Female fans always demand for sex from me. Apart from always demanding sex from you as an entertainer, which you don’t have to give them, you have to work with the flow.
“It is not as if you are going to tell them that what they want is what you are going to give them, but you have to be very flexible with them in their demands, because they are fans and they are the ones who keep you in the market.

“I am not a sex symbol as you see in the movies. Obviously not.
“Sometimes my friend will say ‘people see you like this but they don’t even know you’. That is how it should be. And that is why I don’t want the youth to look at me as such. And that’s why I said they shouldn’t copy what I do in movies. No, that is not me, it is just a character.”

Speaking further, Artus said he can act nude.
According to him, “It depends on the script. There should be a reason for it.”

Manchester United have spent big during the summer but José Mourinho is far from fully satisfied with his first team.

“He was not ruthless enough in the off season,” the former England international said.

“There is so much confusion about who should play.

“What I saw of Mourinho at Chelsea, he had 13 or 14 players who played every week. He never rested players, even in the League Cup or whatever competition he was in.

“With United it is still a settling-in period – it is going to take a bit of time for them to knit together and see what they are about.

“Is there an identity to the team yet? I don’t think there is.”

You can see Jurgen Klopp has stamped his way of playing football on the team,” he said.

“There is a definite way about them. You know how they are going to play. They are going to be quick, they are going to try to take the ball off you and try to score goals by flooding the box.

“I was worried about them defensively – but they have already played some of the big teams and they are a real threat.

 “The form they are in, they look as good as any team in the league.”

Why Babangida overthrew my govt. 31 years ago-Buhari

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he was removed from office 31 years ago because he was planning to purge the military hierarchy of corruption.Buhari said senior military leaders, led by former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida and General Aliyu Gusau, removed him in August 1985, to save themselves from his wrath.

In an exclusive interview published in the current edition of The Interview magazine, Buhari challenged Babangida and Gusau to tell the truth on why they carried out the coup against him.

“I learnt,” he said, “that Aliyu Gusau, who was in charge of intelligence, took import license from the ministry of commerce which was in charge of supplies and gave it to Alhaji Mai Deribe.
“It was worth N100,000, a lot of money at that time. I confronted them and took the case to the Army council in a memo…I wanted Gusau punished.”

Babangida had told The Interview in its December edition that there was nothing in the memo which Buhari said he submitted to the Army council.

“Don’t forget that I was one of Buhari’s closest aides. I was the chief of army staff. So, I had an important position, an important role to play within that administration. I don’t think it had to do with a memo,” Babangida said.

But in a tone which revealed that the past may neither have been forgotten nor forgiven, Buhari challenged Babangida and Gusau to come clean on why they removed him.
Buhari came into power on December 31, 1983, after he and his loyalists overthrew the government of Shehu Shagari.
Two years later, on August 27, 1985, Buhari’s rule was ended by Babangida in a coup.

Read the press statement below...

Former President Jonathan has repudiated a newspaper publication indicating that he returned last Wednesday from Cote d’Ivoire, a country the paper claimed, he allegedly considered going into exile. A story in This Day of Saturday 04 June, 2016 entitled ‘Buhari Holds Secret Meeting with Jonathan, Niger Delta Tops Agenda’, had insisted that President Jonathan had gone on self-exile for fear of being arrested.

However, dismissing the allegation as false, insensitive and tendentious, the former President warned newspapers to desist from reckless sensationalism. Dr. Jonathan who stressed that he returned from the United Kingdom and not Cote d’Ivoire as erroneously claimed in the This Day story however reiterated that he “has no intention of turning his back on Nigeria, a homeland he served diligently as President, to the best of his abilities.”

Below are the full details of the statement signed by Ikechukwu Eze, media aide to the former President: FORMER PRESIDENT JONATHAN NEVER CONSIDERED GOING ON EXILE Our attention has been drawn to a spurious publication in This Day of Saturday 04 June, 2016 entitled ‘Buhari Holds Secret Meeting with Jonathan, Niger Delta Tops Agenda’.

We had thought that the newspaper only set out to report a routine meeting between the former President and President Muhammadu Buhari, while speculating
on the agenda just as newspapers are wont to freely do, especially as no statement was issued by either of the parties.
