In Nigeria: President Goodluck Jonathan Suspends CBN Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi

The CBN governor today has been suspended. The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Mr. Reuben Abati has this to say about the suspension of the CBN governor. Meanwhile an acting CBN governor Dr. Sarah Alade, the most senior CBN deputy Governor has been appointed this morning.

Mr. Reuben Abati had this to say in a press statement released this morning:

Having taken special notice of reports of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and other investigating bodies, which indicate clearly that Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s tenure has been characterized by various acts of financial recklessness and misconduct which are inconsistent with the administration’s vision of a Central Bank propelled by the core values of focused economic management, prudence, transparency and financial discipline;

Being also deeply concerned about far-reaching irregularities under Mallam Sanusi’s watch which have distracted the Central Bank away from the pursuit and achievement of its statutory mandate; and being determined to urgently re-position the Central Bank of Nigeria for greater efficiency, respect for due process and accountability, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has ordered the immediate suspension of Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi from the Office of Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.  

Mother In-Law Sent Me Back From Heaven

A man has described his near death experience where he was ordered back to earth from heaven by his dead mother-in-law after suffering a massive heart attack.
 

Delivery driver Brian Miller, from Ohio, U.S. suffered a massive cardiac arrest while at work but seemed to be recovering in hospital when his heart suddenly stopped beating for 45 minutes.

Doctors at University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center desperately tried to revive the 41-year-old, shocking him four times while he lay on the brink of death. 

But as doctors feared the worst, out-of-the-blue his heart began beating normally again. Amazingly, he had not suffered any brain damage or loss of any bodily functions.

Now Mr Miller has recalled how he saw a white light, and said he was walking towards heaven along a path covered in flowers before being told by his recently deceased mother-in-law that he had to return to his body.

She said that it was after the delivery she now discovered that she was affected with VVF. Responding, Dr Sunday Lengmang, Director VVF Centre, Jos, confirmed that giving birth to a stone or any object was possible.

Rumours have reignited over the question of Kim's ultra-curvy behind, as a source close to the star revealed that she has had fat from her stomach and thighs injected into her bottom to make it bigger than ever.

The source added: 'She's always been obsessed with her bottom, and friends think she has had a top-up treatment on it since giving birth. On a good day she loves her bum and boobs, but some days she wishes she was taller and slimmer.'

The process of injecting fat from the body into the bum is called buttock augmentation with fat grafting.
