Belgium considering whether to allow sick CHILDREN to end their own lives

Children could be given the right to end their own lives in Belgium as the government considers new euthanasia laws.
Euthanasia is already legal for people over the age of 18 in the country and now it may be extended to cover children which is something no other country has done.
The same bill would offer the right to die to adults with early dementia.

Advocates argue that euthanasia for children, with the consent of their parents, is necessary to give families an option in a desperately painful situation. But opponents have questioned whether children can reasonably decide to end their own lives.
Belgium is already a euthanasia pioneer and it legalized the practice for adults in 2002.
In the last decade, the number of reported cases per year has risen from 235 deaths in 2003 to 1,432 in 2012, the last year for which statistics are available. Doctors typically give patients a powerful sedative before injecting another drug to stop their heart.
Only a few countries across the globe have legalised euthanasia. In the Netherlands, euthanasia is legal under specific circumstances and for children over the age of 12 with parental consent. There is an understanding that infants, too, can be euthanized, and that doctors will not be prosecuted if they act appropriately.
Elsewhere in Europe, euthanasia is only legal in Luxembourg. Assisted suicide, where doctors help a patient to die but do not actively kill them, is allowed in Switzerland.
In the US, the state of Oregon also grants assisted suicide requests for residents aged 18 or over with a terminal illness

OMG. Venezuela’s President Just Moved Christmas To November( Sign of dictatorship)

Venezuela’s President Just Moved Christmas To November

If you’re Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and you’re sweating an upcoming vote, the solution isn’t to campaign more. No, the obvious answer is to move Christmas.
Maduro announced last week that Nov. 1 would herald the arrival of ”early Christmas” in Venezuela, “because we want happiness for all people.” Per Fox News Latino, Maduro sealed the deal by lighting Nativity lights at the Presidential Palace of Miraflores over the weekend and announcing that workers in the country will receive most of their bonuses and pensions nearly a month early.
Critics (and grinches) point out that, as a function of early Christmas, bonuses will be paid out by Dec. 1, just a week before the country is slated to hold municipal elections, on Dec. 8.
The surprising announcement comes six months into Maduro’s first term, which has been described as “rocky with no honeymoon.” Following Maduro’s contested electionafter the death of Hugo Chávez in March, the country has suffered food shortages, electricity blackouts, a faltering economy and a toilet paper shortage

Ghanaian minister fired after saying she wouldn’t leave politics until she makes $1million

Ghanaian minister fired after saying she wouldn’t leave politics until she makes $1million

A Ghanaian female deputy minister has been dismissed by the country’s President John Dramani Mahama after she allegedly said she will not quit politics until she makes at least one million dollars.
Deputy Minister of Communication, Victoria Hammah, was sacked today, a day after she was heard in a leaked tape to radio stations saying she would not quit politics until she’s rich
The voice purported to be that of Victoria Hammah is heard telling a female companion
“I will not quit politics until I make one million dollars. If you have money then you can control people.” She also criticized another minister, the deputy minister of gender, children and social protection, Rachel Appoh, in the leaked tape. She said “it was useless for the deputy minister to fight Nana Lithur whose husband is friends with former President Jerry Rawlings and was President Mahama’s lawyer during the 2012 election challenge. She cannot boast of 100,000 Ghana cedis or 100,000 dollars.
The Ghanaian government released a statement today announcing her dismissal, but didn’t give any reason for the sack

Jackie Chan's Son will get none of his $130 million Fortune.

jaycee-chan

Being the only son of international movie star Jackie Chan clearly comes with many privileges and advantages. Jackie Chan’s only child, a 30 year old son named Jaycee, lived a life filled with opulent mansions, luxurious vacations, expensive cars, the best education and much more. Jaycee was even been able to launch his very own singing and acting career thanks to his famous father. But there is one important thing that Jaycee will not receive from his father. Jackie Chan recently announced that upon his death, he will donate 100% of his $130 million fortune to charity and that his son Jaycee will be left out entirely…
Jackie and Jaycee Chan
 
While accepting an award in Beijing, Jackie was asked if Jaycee will inherit his massive fortune some day. Jackie stated that he was originally intending to donate half of his wealth to charity and leaving his family the other half but recently changed his will to leave 100% for charitable causes throughout the world. The elder Chan explained: “If he is capable, he can make his own money. If he is not, then he will just be wasting my money.” Jackie also expressed regret for not sending Jaycee to the army where his son would have received “life experience and character.”

If Jaycee wants to continue living an extravagant lifestyle, his career is going to need a boost. Since 2004 Jaycee has appeared in around 20 films, most of which have been major flops. Jaycee’s 2012 movie “Double Trouble” became one of the biggest box office failures in history grossing just $9000 at the box office, despite heavy marketing and promotion. He also starred alongside his father in 2010′s “1911″ which became Jackie’s worst performing movie ever.

Jackie is not the only celebrity who plans on giving their fortune to charity instead of their children. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Ebay founder Pierre Omidyar are some of the more notable billionaires who have pledged their entire fortunes to charity. Buffett is an especially staunch opponent of what he calls “dynastic wealth” (wealth that is so vast it creates generational dynasties). Buffett refers to anyone who grew up wealthy as a “member of the lucky sperm club” and, like Jackie Chan, firmly believes that if his children work hard enough they can achieve great success the same way he did.

How would you feel if you were Jaycee Chan? I can’t say I would be very happy, but having spent some time around trust fund kids, I understand where Jackie is coming from.

Radar Online reports:
“He wasn’t acting like a married man; he gave no signs that he was in a committed relationship,” an eyewitness of the scandalous scene told the magazine
After weeks on the New Orleans set together the two got intimately close at the October party in question, the magazine claims.
“Once they pulled the curtain back to take the pictures, they let their inhibitions run wild, laughing, hugging and nuzzling each other in the dark,” the eyewitness said. “Margot directed Will before each pose. First she ordered him to act like a gangster. Then she covered her face with a masquerade mask and leaned into his chest. Next, she asked Will to take a sexy picture with her, as she pulled up her shirt and exposed her lingerie for Will and the camera.
“They were hanging all over each other, laughing like they were a new couple in love,” the source continued. “Will had just gotten done working for the day, so he definitely wasn’t intoxicated in any way — he knew what he was doing.”
The scandalous couple didn’t wait for their photos to be printed and Will’s assistant later materialized and confiscated them, Star says.
“Will and Margot never showed up back on set or attended the night’s festivities with the rest of the crew,” the insider revealed. “After they left the party, they were gone all night.”

''I'm not a gay, Is a deadly Thing''-Ik Ogbonna

He is Nollywood’s latest heartthrob and there has been rumours surrounding his status..even-though he fathered a child, some rumour peddlers claim he achieved sudden fame by being gay or a gigolo..In an interview with Encomium he opened up.
The allegation about your trip to the States is that you went to do gigolo ‘runs’, what is your take on it?
People don’t really know my story. I have heard different things about me.  I have heard that I am a gigolo, gay that I have foolish attitude, that I am a snub.
Some people don’t know I had a very rough beginning, even though my parents were on the average. I moved to Lagos alone and I had a very rough time.  I slept on the street sometimes.
Seven years ago when I moved down to Lagos, for like three years or so, I slept in cars.  I had this friend of mine that I used to sleep in his car and burn insecticide at night. I always carry myself well because I know where I am destined to be.  I kept on pushing.

Sometimes I slept over at the club when there is no friend’s house to pass the night.  I was homeless.  I had things very rough at a particular point in time.
It is God’s grace that is working for me. When people say I am a gigolo, I am waiting for the person that will come and tell me I slept with his mother. If one person can just come and tell me, IK see this woman you are sleeping with, she is my mother and I will admit I am a gigolo.
They also alleged you are gay?
Like I told you, I never thought I was going to be an actor.  I was more into business.  I am involved in a lot of things.  Acting is just something that just came and I loved it.
A greater percentage of my money is from business.  I am an Igbo man (laughs).
I want to get into Forbes and it is not by acting alone. I have to work very hard and be creative with my ideas.  Money I get from movies will go to charity.
 For the gay thing, I don’t blame people, but the truth is I love women.  I won’t judge those calling me gay or tell them what to do.  Gay is a very deadly thing and I am someone that respects God a lot.  I try to keep His commandments.I know I am very adventurous and I have a very high fashion sense.  You can see me wearing a three-quarter pants, colourful things and thank God for making me a fine boy.
When people say I am a gigolo or gay it’s their own judgement.  There is no man or woman that can ever come out and say IK has slept with me or a mother that is above age that will say I am sleeping with her and she pays me.  When you’re successful people will always talk. They should keep talking and promoting my brand

''Mavin Records wishes Wande Coal The Best of Luck''- New Statement reveals

Mavin-Records-Art
In the wake of the controversy between Mavin Records CEO, Don Jazzy and singer Wande Coal,  the record label has put out a press statement revealing how Wande Coal amicably parted company with them. The statement also reveals that the release of ‘Baby Face’ by Wande Coal was a breach of agreed terms.
Wande Coal earlier this week, released a song, ‘Baby Face’, under his new recording company, Black Diamond Entertainment. Don Jazzy was angered at it, and called him out on twitter. The situation furt5her deteriorated into a messy affair, with fans taking sides.
Read the press statement below.
It is with deep regret that we officially announce the departure of recording artist Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, from Mavin Records due to irreconcilable differences.
Over the past few months, Mavin Records has made a concerted move to consolidate its position in the Nigerian music industry. Mavin has pursued a renewed ethos to raise its standards of quality and professionalism to a world-class level. Wande’s vision has not aligned with ours and a few months ago all parties mutually agreed that a separation would be the best course of action.
Legal parties on both sides have spent the past six months trying to reach an amicable solution in terms of musical property rights. However the decision by Wande Coal to release ‘Baby Face’ purportedly as his own material is a direct breach of intellectual property law and compelled an immediate clarification on our part.
Both Mavin Records and Wande Coal have enjoyed a remarkable run in the course of their working relationship. It is unfortunate that conflicting priorities contributed to the premature curtailment of a hitherto fruitful accord.
Mavin Records reaffirms its goal to constantly provide high quality music to our fans and introduce new and exciting talent into the industry.
We wish Wande Coal the best of luck in all his future endeavours.
Signed
Management

CBN will contribute N50bn to AMCON Sinking Fund – Rep

Abuja - The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency, Rep. Jones Onyereri, said the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) would contribute N50 billion to the Assets Management Corporation (AMCON) sinking fund.
Onyereri (PDP-Imo) made the announcement at a one-day public hearing on a bill to amend the AMCON Act 2010 organised by the committee in Abuja on Monday.
The fund is a safety net for AMCON to ensure it meets its obligations arising from debt securities issued by it.
It also insulates the tax payer from obligations occasioned by financial mismanagement by the banks.
He said that commercial banks in the country would be mandated to contribute an amount equivalent to 50 basis points of their total assets to the fund.
“The key component of the amendment bill relates to setting up of a sinking fund or Resolution Cost Fund.
“It basically obligates a bank to contribute annually an amount equivalent to 50 basis points of its total assets to the fund and CBN is to contribute N50 billion to the fund,’’ he said.
According to him, the amendment is aimed at strengthening AMCON as an institution to be able to carry out its functions.
The legislator said the bill would remove contradictions relating to the purchase agreements between AMCON and financial institutions.
“What this bill, therefore, seeks to do is to codify the obligations of both the CBN and the banks and to give the previous agreement between parties the force of law,’’ he said.
He said the committee would continue to work with regulatory authorities and banks to find ways of reducing the high interest rates in the country.
Onyereri said that about N600 billion recovered from bad debts had restructured a lot of non-performing loans.
The Speaker, House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, who declared the hearing opened, said AMCON was created to protect the public from shocks in the banking system.
Represented by Rep. Garba Datti (APC-Kaduna), the Deputy Minority Whip, Tambuwal said it was house duty to protect the welfare of the people from the major brunt of financial institutions.
“This public hearing is, therefore, part of a carefully laid down strategy by the 7th Assembly to ensure that the nation’s financial sector is given the needed impetus to function properly,” he said.
The Managing Director of AMCON, Mr Mustapha Chikeobi, who supported the bill, said that the amendment was to ensure that the corporation worked effectively.
Chikeobi urged other stakeholders to view the amendment from a positive perspective, adding that it was not aimed at empowering AMCON.
Other stakeholders in attendance include, NDIC, Guarantee Trust Bank, Mainstreet bank, Skye bank, Keystone bank, Stanbic bank and financial experts. (NAN)

Chris Brown calls Jay Z out in new interview, says he gets a thug pass.

In the latest issue of Jet magazine Chris Brown wonders why Jay Z gets a pass for stabbing someone and selling drugs but he doesn't get a pass for beating the heck out of Rihanna.

Chris Brown tells Jet magazine...
“No disrespect, because I’m a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that [Jay Z] stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass.”
In 2001, Jay Z got three years probation for stabbing record producer, Lance 'Un' Rivera, for leaking his album  Vol.3...Life and Times of S. Carter one month before its release date. Jay Z explained what happened that night. Continue...


But first, more from Chris Brown's Jet magazine interview

On his relationships with Karrueche Tran and Rihanna:
"Relationships are the most difficult part. That’s why I was honest with those two girls and I put out that video. My ex and I broke up because of the “situation” and she had moved on. I fell in love with another girl. Then my ex came back, so it was like, 'What is a man to do?' I told them both the truth. I didn’t do the sucker role."
Read the full interview when the issue hits stands Monday, Sept. 23.

On the media:
“The media is full of yellow journalism. A lot of things I say, they will flip it. Instead of them getting off on all the positive stuff that I do, they will bring out the negative and draw out that story.”

On the media:
“The media is full of yellow journalism. A lot of things I say, they will flip it. Instead of them getting off on all the positive stuff that I do, they will bring out the negative and draw out that story.”

Now to Jay Z. In an excerpt from Jay Z's new book, Decoded, he explains what happened the night he stabbed record producer Lance "Un" Rivera.

From the NY Post

He says he was infuriated because someone had leaked a bootleg copy of “Vol. 3 . . . Life and Times of S. Carter” more than a month before the release date of the album.

When he asked who was behind the leak, everyone kept repeating the same name: Rivera.

When Jay-Z saw him at rapper Q-Tip’s album release party at the Kit Kat Klub, he confronted him. Rivera “got real loud with me right there in the middle of the club,” Jay-Z writes, “It was strange. We separated and I went over to the bar . . . I was . . . in a state of shock . . . I headed back over to him, but this time I was blacking out with anger.”

After this, chaos ensued in the club, “That night the guy went straight to the police and I was charged with assault.”

He says he decided to plead guilty after watching Puff Daddy’s trial on weapons violations that same year. Puffy was acquitted, and Jay-Z says he feared the state would be harder on him after failing to convict his friend.

“The hilarious thing,” he writes, “if any of this can be considered funny, is that the Rocawear bubble coat I was wearing when they paraded me in front of the cameras started flying off the shelves the last three weeks before Christmas.”
