I am not dating Senate President - Chika Ike



You do not come across Nollywood actress, Chika Ike, for the first time and fail not to wonder why she is being trailed by a string of scandals. Although she cuts across as the ‘girl next door’, a conversation with her reveals a thirst for success. Although every tweet or Facebook post by the leggy actress is likely to generate a barrage of comments, mostly negative,  Ike says, “Honestly, I have learnt to cope with them. I have developed a rhino skin, Initially they used to get to me but now I’ve realised it comes with the job and part of growing up.”

"Stop Using Military Choppers Like Taxis" – Senate





Senators Olubunmi Adetunmbi (ACN, Ekiti North), Ganiyu Solomon (ACN, Lagos) Babafemi Ojudu (ACN, Ekiti) and Uche Chukwumerije (PDP, Abia) queried why the crashed chopper meant for naval training was used as a shuttle bus for the burial of the father of a presidential aide, Oronto Doglas.
It is to be recalled that Saturday's helicopter crash killed the former Kaduna State governor, Patrick Yakowa; former National Security Adviser, Andrew Azazi and their aides.Deputy Senate Leader Abdul Ningi said, "It is worrisome that in this country military choppers are used indiscriminately like taxis for social events. We must bring out a standard framework of how to use military helicopters."
The senate resolved to mandate Navy, Air Force and Aviation committees to investigate the frequency of air mishaps in the country.
