By Author

Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, has made Chinwetel Ejiofor a Commander of the order of the British Empire, for his service to drama.

'12 Years A Slave’ star Chinwetel Ejiofor was recently made a Commander of the order of the British Empire.
The actor received the award from the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, during an official ceremony held at Buckingham Palace in London on Tuesday, October 26, 2015.
The actor, who grew up in London, received the recognition for his service to drama.
Discussing his CBE award, his sister, CNN presenter Zain Asher, said the BAFTA award winner always dreamt of acting.
"He's been acting since he was 13 years old and he's worked so hard for this. Growing up with him he was always in his bedroom practising Shakespeare lines, writing Shakespeare on the wall," she said.
Ejiofor received an Oscar nomination and won a BAFTA in 2013 for his performance in ‘12 Years A Slave.’
He made his acting debit in Steven Spielberg's ‘Amistad.’ The 38-year-old actor already received an OBE in 2008.

Obasanjo's Plans for ING

By Author
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday.

My prayer was that as a seasoned General you would not only flush out king pins and barons but retrieve the loot as you napped them one after the other but we see them working for you. Is th...
