Did Rihanna cancel Victoria's Secret performance because Jourdon Dunn was replaced by Kendall Jenner?
Earlier
this week, Rihanna dropped out of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
just days before she was due to perform and there are reports that she
did in support of model Jourdan Dunn. In a now-deleted tweet Jourdan
wrote,
"Feeling so much better about not doing BS...sorry I mean VS now that
Rihanna isn't doing it also."
Photographer wants couples to ban smart phones at their wedding
An irate photographer has taken a shot at trigger happy
guests who wield their smartphones at weddings, taking ‘crap’ pictures
and ‘ruining’ official photographs. Thomas Stewart, from NSW, wrote a long rant on his Facebook
page, accusing wedding guests of being too eager to flash their iPhones
and iPads instead of enjoying the moment.

Uneasy calm in House over ‘choice’ committee positions
THE dust raised by the distribution of House of Representatives committees by Speaker Yakubu Dogara may take a longer time to settle. More than a week after Dogara named the committee chairmen and their deputies, not a few members of the Green Chamber are yet to come to terms on why the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no edge in the headship of the committees as the ruling party.
There have been mixed feelings in the lower legislative chamber penultimate week over the sharing of 96 standing committees. The ruling party got the chairmanship slots and 46 went to the rival Peoples Democratic Party. The other two slots were allocated to the other opposition parties.
Some members of the House have cried foul, saying Dogara’s choices tilted more to the PDP side, a platform that allegedly helped him to win the speakership position on June 9. Yet, others have justified the formula; attributing it all to politics.

At the mercy of fake doctors
The
medical profession has been infiltrated by fake practitioners leading
to avoidable deaths and complications. Innocent Duru in this report goes
into the world of the dupes.
In a not too distant past, the existence
of fake doctors was restricted to only private hospitals. Not anymore,
the dupes have spread their poisoned tentacles into public hospitals.
How?
Within the space of two months, two
suspects Nwosu Angela Njide and Martins Ugwu Okpeh, were arrested. They
had plied their nefarious credentials for a long time before nemesis
caught up with them.
Angela,30, claimed that she had worked
with the British American Tobacco (BAT) clinic, Ibadan; the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and Rauz Hospital, Apo, Abuja,
before she was arrested by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria
(MDCN) and handed over to the police. She is said to be the first female
fake doctor to have been arrested by MDCN. Strangely, a presenter with
Africa Independent Television (AIT), who was once her patient, described
her as a caring ‘doctor’ whose kindness, belied her alleged criminal
tendencies.
Forty-four-year-old Okpeh, on the other
hand, had for nine years paraded himself as a medical doctor and even
rose to become the chairman of a branch of the Nigerian Medical
Association (NMA) before he was arrested. The suspect, a secondary
school certificate holder and father of five, confessed to having stolen
copies of the medical and academic credentials of his childhood friend,
Dr. George Davidson, a medical doctor based in Jos, Plateau State, and
used same to secure employment in the Federal Ministry of Health. He was
said to have been exposed by an anonymous petition that prompted the
police to launch investigation into his activities.
