Here's why Russia can't wait to see Obama leave office

On January 20, 2017, the Obama presidency will be over and top Russian officials can't wait.

"God created the world in seven days," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said this week on her Facebook page. "The Obama administration has (seven plus) two more days to destroy it."

Aleksey Pushkov, a member of the Russian Parliament and acerbic Tweeter, heaped scorn on Obama and his policies.
"The democratic process in the USA was undermined not by Russia but by the Obama administration and the media who supported (Hillary) Clinton against Trump," he wrote recently. "The threat to democracy is inside the USA itself."

Others aren't as measured. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, politician and perpetual gadfly never at a loss for inflammatory comments, told Russian news agencies in December: "Obama should get a D for flunking because of his performance as a head of such a huge state as America."

Some of these venom might be a reaction to Obama's own dissing of Vladimir Putin, in 2013 when he described the Russian President as having "that kind of slouch," looking like the "bored kid in the back of the classroom."

Boko Haram attacks IDP camp bombed by Nigeria's Air Force

Days after the accidental bombing by a Nigerian air force jet, which killed at least 54 persons, Rann IDP Camp in Borno State came under another attack, this time, by Boko Haram insurgents. Witnesses in Rann said soldiers deployed to secure the bombed IDP camp battled for hours to repel over 100 Boko Haram gunmen who came attacking at about 6pm.

Simi is two months pregnant?

According to actor Uche Maduagwu's post and photo, he is insinuating in this post that singer Simi is two months pregnant. He posted the above photo and wrote; "Ask any real mother out there, she will gladly tell you that being pregnant is the most beautiful feeling ever. Do you know what it is to carry another being inside of you? Its so amazing, that's why I do not advice people to abort their babies, although some circumstances may force a good woman to do it sometimes. Being pregnant for a bad guy or a good guy, makes no difference dear, all na "soft work".... The very moment you shoot and God picks up the call, my brother, don't hide it, I know that sometimes "ariwo ko ni music", but you need to let the whole world know that God has answered your prayers... its so painful, when you don't really know how to make the whole world know who is responsible for your pregnancy, its so confusing sometimes, I know dear, but whats...
