To me Akpabio remains the best performing governor in Nigeria whether he receives the biggest allocations or not. If he embezzles all nothing anyone will still do.

Money Available to state = FG Allocation + Internally generated revenue IGR
On this regards Lagos has the most money as its Internally generated revenue is greater than FG allocations of most states, the Rivers State Second.

Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) -- The Indonesian police continue to use a "degrading" invasive physical test to check for female recruits virginity, a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report has claimed.
A manual examination is used to physically check for an intact hymen in the recruits, the report alleges.
It is, according to the report, a long-standing part of the health check that women must undergo to be accepted onto the force.
While the virginity test is not specifically part of the required "obstetrics and gynecology" examination that female recruits are required to undergo to gain entry to the National Police, senior female officers told the report's authors that it has long been part of the process.
Virginity a requirement
Indonesian cops must pass virginity exam
The National Police website lists the health requirements for female recruits, listing virginity as one of the requirements.
"In addition to the other medical and physical examinations. Women who want to become policewomen are to undergo a virginity test. Policewomen must keep their virginity," the informational page states. It ends the section with a cheery "thank you" and a smiley-face emoticon.
Married women are not eligible to apply for service in the police force.

He may have only been back in England for a matter of days, but it seemingly hasn’t taken Mario Balotelli long to demonstrate the flamboyant style he is known for.

Liverpool’s new £16million signing from AC Milan has been on the hunt for property since his return, and has reportedly chosen a rural area north of the city as his new base.

However, the former Manchester City striker hasn’t just settled for any old country retreat, if rumours of his move for this £4.7m sprawling mansion are anything to go by.

The Italian is said to have settled on this five-bedroom detached property complete with all the essentials for a multi-millionaire footballer.

You know; pool, sauna, wine cellar,*cough* helipad…

From Akwa Ibom Stadium complex to The Globalcom Arena ?

News has it that the newly built, Akwa Ibom Stadium complex is soon going to be rechristened "The Globalcom Arena". I heard from the grapevine that negotiations are ongoing with Nigeria Second Largest telecom provider. The owner and CEO of globalcom and oil magnate, Chief Mike Adenuga was in uyo recently for a meeting with Gov. Akpabio details of the meeting has not been disclosed yet.

This might help bring in yearly guaranteed revenue to help maintain the stadium if the deal happens.
