Anti-gay law: Bishop Matthew Kukah commends president Jonathan
Federal Court bars House of Reps from changing leadership
A Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Justice Adeniyi Ademola has issued an order stopping the House of Representatives from changing its leadership pending the determination of a suit filed by the leadership of the embattled Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to block the move.
Justice Ademola further ordered the leadership of the House to maintain the status quo until further notice.
The ruling frustrates moves by the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) to take over the leadership of the House following the defection of about 37 members of the PDP to it which gave it majority in the House.

Eto'o hat-trick sees off Man Utd
A hat-trick by Samuel Eto'o ensured Chelsea maintained the pressure on the Premier League pacesetters and surely ended Manchester United's chances of retaining their title.
United manager David Moyes cut a dejected figure at the final whistle as he surveyed a 14-point gap to Arsenal at the top of the table - with matters made worse by the late red card for Nemanja Vidic following his needless lunge at Eden Hazard.
Javier Hernandez's goal hardly qualified as consolation and United must now try to overturn a 2-1 deficit against Sunderland in the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg at Old Trafford on Wednesday without their suspended captain, who starts a three-match ban.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has played down his side's title credentials but there is a real sense of momentum building around Stamford Bridge that will have only increased with this victory, the Portuguese's 100th in the Premier League. His first also came against United, back in 2004.
Here's something late BBC presenter Komla Dumor posted recently

Chris Okotie stands by comments that all Catholics will go to hell & the Pope is anti-Christ
"You recently stirred up controversy when you said Catholics would go to hell. Why did you say that?It is because the church perverts the gospel of Jesus Christ and that perversion is located in the leadership. Even as Pope Francis recently announced. However, there are many good Christians within the Catholic Church who are not aware of the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, that has substituted Mary for Jesus, in what is known as the hyperdulia of the Virgin Mary. Salvation for them is not through Jesus alone but in accordance with what Pope Francis recently announced to the world. That, in itself, is a direct violation of the sanctity of the scriptures. Continue...
You even described the Pope as “an anti-Christ and a friend of Satan” and that the Catholic Church is a counterfeit church set up by Satan. What made you say this?
The heresies in their doctrine and the recent announcement by Pope Francis corroborate this position.
You were credited to have said that tattooing and plastic surgery were not sins before God; can you explain this to the public because it’s still a controversial issue?
No, I didn’t say that. What I said is that even though it is our body and to an extent we have the liberty to do what we want with it, at the end of the day, everybody will stand before God to give account of how he/she used his/her body.
Same way people criticise pastors who have jets, what do you think?
It is because of the novelty. Pastors who buy these jets have their reasons. When you do something new, it will create a stir.
Do you own a jet, if not, are you planning to buy one?
No, I do not have a jet now. But I will if it becomes necessary in the prosecution of my ecclesiastical responsibilities.
Some people still can’t understand why you divorced twice; they believe it is wrong for pastors to divorce. Why do you always divorce?
I have addressed this issue from the pulpit several times.
But why did you divorce someone you reportedly told your members God asked you to marry?
I don’t want to go into that again.
Are you still planning to remarry?
No.
Her marriage is already over, after a whirlwind romance and fairy-tale wedding
Fast forward to 3 years later, and it's over. Hilary, 26, and Mike, 33, announced their separation on January 10th 2014 after only 3 years of marriage. The actress accused her estranged husband of not 'putting enough effort into their relationship'.
The couple reportedly went to marriage counseling for 18 months to try and find the spark again. "But recently he wasn't doing any of the things they'd worked on," A source told Us weekly "The spark was no longer there. They are better as friends." The couple have a 22 months old son, Luca.

The Obama marriage is on the rocks, according to National Enquirer
Under the headline Obama Divorce Bombshell!, the National Enquirer claims their 21-year marriage has dissolved in a string of ugly fights that were prompted by the Mandela memorial incident and — far more outrageously — Mrs Obama’s discovery that Secret Service bodyguards had been covering up infidelity on her husband’s part.
It’s an allegation the White House has declined to comment on, though after Bill Clinton’s trouser-dropping scandals, Americans would be rather less sanguine about any extra-marital activity than the French appear to be over President Francois Hollande’s behaviour.
Mrs Obama, the Enquirer claims, intends to stand by her husband until his presidency is over, at which time he will move back to Hawaii, where he grew up, and she will stay in Washington with their children. Continue...

Transfer window: Nemanja Matic completes £21m Chelsea return
Chelsea have completed the £21m signing of Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic on a five-and-a-half-year deal.
The 25-year-old left Stamford Bridge for Portugal three years ago.
"I am very happy for this opportunity. I just want to say I will give my best to help the team and make the Chelsea fans happy,"
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said: "He has grown as a player in Portugal and has become a fantastic all-round midfielder."
The Serbia international was valued at less than £5m in January 2011 when he left Stamford Bridge as a makeweight in the deal that saw defender David Luiz join Chelsea from Benfica.
Mourinho quickly identified the defensive midfielder as a key target on his return to Stamford Bridge and the club had no issue with re-signing a player they previously let go.
Chelsea will offset the cost of signing Matic with the £16m they will receive from the proposed sale of Kevin De Bruyne to Wolfsburg.
Matic joined Chelsea from Slovakian club MFK Kosice on a four-year deal for £1.5m in 2009.
He made two substitute appearances in the Premier League and was an unused substitute in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Portsmouth in the FA Cup final in 2010.
Matic joined Vitesse Arnhem on loan for the season in August 2010 before moving to Portugal as part of the Luiz transfer in February 2011.
As well as Matic and Luiz, Chelsea also signed Brazil midfielder Ramires from Benfica in 2010 for about £17m.

Emily Maynard Will Marry Fiance Tyler Johnson "Soon," Opens Up About Her Engagement to "The One"
Her happily ever after is happening! While Emily Maynard has yet to share her official wedding date, the former Bachelorette revealed on Good Morning America Tuesday, Jan. 14 that she will be marrying new fiance Tyler Johnson "soon."
"We met at church,” she told Lara Spencer during her appearance Tuesday. "I think that’s why our relationship is so good now, because we started out as friends." Maynard, who was previously engaged to late NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, Bachelor Brad Womack and Bachelorette winner Jef Holm, added Tuesday, "We were really just friends and we got to know each other."
As the newly-engaged star exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly last week, Johnson popped the question on Jan. 4 with five diamond-studded bands. "He proposed to me at home and gave both Ricki and me rings," she told Us. "It was so sweet! Ricki loves him more than she likes me!" she added of her 8-year-old daughter. The blonde former Bachelorette also shared, "We definitely are looking to get married sooner rather than later. No point in waiting!"
The mother of one has maintained a low profile since she and Holm called off their engagement in October 2012. While the pretty blonde, 26, and her future hubby, 27, first met a few months before she started filming her season of The Bachelorette in spring 2012, Maynard said Johnson "never watched" her on ABC's popular reality TV series. "I think that that’s just a true testament to God’s time and how perfect it is. I couldn’t have planned it better," she shared.

Johnson, a management consultant, joined his future wife via Skype to further discuss their engagement with GMA. "I went over there one morning and woke the girls up, told them I was going to cook them breakfast and kind of put them back to sleep," he recalled Tuesday. "Then [I] brought them downstairs and proposed to both her and Ricki. It was really special, really simple and a lot of fun." She quipped, "He did a very good job. It was way more than I thought."
Maynard discussed more about her engagement to Johnson and Ricki's reaction in a fan Q&A Tuesday on GMA's Facebook page. "She loves him and is so excited!" she gushed in response to how her daughter is "handling the idea" of Johnson as a stepdad. "My whole family loves him!"
Asked what attracted her to Johnson and how she knew he was "the one," the North Carolina native said, "He's confident in who he is in his faith and has the kindest heart of any person I've ever known!"
"Plus, he's a babe," she added with a winky face.

"I battled insolence, leaching, sabotage from people last year' - Uti Nwachukwu
"I learnt a lot about loyalty and genuineness. I was really hurt last year year and a lot of true colors were revealed. I battled insolence, pride, treason, ingratitude, leaching, sabotage, and wickedness from people I least expected it from. I guess you have to be careful what you pray for, because I prayed for God to open up the hearts of people I care about. Let's just say if I wasn't spiritually strong with divine premonitions, I would have gone into clinical depression. But I guess I saw signs before but ignored them. God warns me in dreams but I guess I overlook these dreams. The hardest part was that I was and had been used by the most unassuming people and after confronting the issues, the parties act like they don't need you anymore but continuously gain from your platform. In all I learned so much about the human heart and also about myself and my errors. I am stronger (mentally and spiritually) wiser, more comfortable with my skin, more tolerant, gentle and definitely a lot more closer to God.
"I have not resigned" - PDP chairman Bamanga Tukur
