A week after he was criticized for not attending his oldest son’s high school graduation, rapper 50cent says there’s a good reason why he wasn’t there. He said aside from not being invited, he was busy at a movie location… In an appearance on BET’s 106 and Park yesterday, 50 Cent explains; “My son — I haven’t received an invitation. When he graduated, I was in Budapest on a movie with Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, and Jason Statham. I think, at some point, the reason why it actually comes out is because his mom is going to TMZ. I wish she’d find someone so she could leave me alone.”

The 2014 budget has been signed into law by President Goodluck Jonathan. The president signed the budget into law this morning, May 23rd, after the statutory process of legislative scrutiny was completed. Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, and the DG of the Budget Office are expected to address the press later today on the budget signing.

Former Governor of Abia state, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, while speaking with airport correspondents yesterday as he returned from a trip to the UK, said if things are not properly checked politically, President Jonathan might be the last president Nigeria will have. “When I was travelling precisely on the 26 of April, I left this airport and I spoke to the airport correspondents and I said there was a need to collaborate with international organisations. You see, this issue is not about President Goodluck Jonathan. If we don’t take time and work together as Nigerians, Jonathan might be the last Nigerian President. Jonathan might be the Gorbachev of Nigeria. And that is the truth, so we better wake up. Political class, business class, military, civilians must now stand up to work for our internal security. Internal security is more important than anything we have done and I believe that once we are able to come together Nigeria will be alright. As of now the country is in pains; the country is

A HIV+ nurse was sentenced to three years in jail today for criminal negligence after she pricked herself with a needle before injecting a child. Rosemary Namubiru, 64, was convicted for using a intravenous needle on the child after pricking herself - a decision slammed as 'deeply flawed' by HIV/AIDS campaigners. Throughout her trial, the nurse maintained she was not acting in malice and the incident was an accident. Two tests have shown the child was not infected with HIV, according to court records. Scores of international activist groups rallied around the nurse - saying she was the victim of stigma and discrimination because of her HIV status and should not face trial. Despite their support, she was found guilty of criminal negligence for allegedly in court today and sentenced to three years behind bars. In November last year all direct aid was cut following a corruption scandal in the country. However, it will still receive £97.9million in aid from the UK this year, The De

Barcelona have appointed Luis Enrique as their new first-team coach on a two-year deal. The 44-year-old former Barca player, who managed the club’s B team between 2008 and 2011, left his role as Celta Vigo boss last week. Barcelona parted company with manager Gerardo Martino after finishing second to Atletico Madrid in La Liga. Sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta recommended Enrique, who has also managed Roma, to replace the Argentine. Martino succeeded Tito Vilanova, who has since died of throat cancer, last summer, but his two-year deal was ended by mutual consent. The 51-year-old was unable to prevent the club from losing the La Liga title for only the second time in six years as they drew with champions Atletico Madrid on the final day, in a game where a win would have clinched them the title. Enrique’s arrival had been widely expected because of his strong links with the club and a successful spell as B team boss where he replaced Pep Guardiola and led them to promotion to the Sp
