It has been tears and more tears all morning in the City of Lagos after news began to filter in that  Ponzi Scheme, MMM, has crashed in Nigeria, resulting in massive losses for its many members. While details of the crash are still sketchy,  it will be noted that only recently, the Zimbabwean and South African chapters of the MMM franchise also recently packed up, resulting in disbelief, shock and even suicide of some members who lost their life savings to the Ponzi Scheme.  These events had led many to plead with involved Nigerians to “get out while they could”, a plea which fell on deaf ears. Our source can confirm that the MMM shut down equates to a mind-boggling loss of over $100million (which will not convert to Naira for the sake of our collective cardiac safety), money which gullible Nigerians had ‘invested’ in the scheme, hoping for 30% returns. Our correspondent headed to Victoria Island to ascertain the reality of the crash and was met with shocking ...

Michael Jackson‘s daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 18, published an Instagram.com photo, revealing her biological mother is battling breast cancer. Paris posted the photo of herself and Debbie Rowe, 57, on Instagram.com on Friday. Rowe is currently undergoing chemotherapy, which robbed her of her long blonde hair. “I’m a fighter because she’s a fighter. Love you mom,” Paris captioned the image. Contrary to published reports that mother and daughter were “estranged” and recently reunited, Paris reconnected with Rowe within 2 years after Jackson died of an accidental drug overdose at age 50 in 2009. The 2 have remained close ever since. Rowe, a former registered nurse, married Jackson in 1996. They divorced 3 years later. Rowe is the biological surrogate mother to Michael Jackson’s 2 oldest children, Paris and Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., aka Prince, 19. The children’s biological father is rumored to be Jackson’s longtime friend Dr. Arnie Klein, who passed awa...

In an interview with  BBC Hausa , wife of  President Buhari ,  Aisha Buhari  said that some people are grumbling because they are sidelined after contributing the emergence of Buhari as president. “This worries us a lot now. Because they believe they are the ones who suffered, but are no where today. Those who didn’t do anything who don’t even have voters’ card are the ones in position, doing everything,” she said. She also said that this is causing problems for the party ( All Progressives Congress ) particularly because those running the show in this government are those who did not contribute anything to bring it to power. She added that she is very concerned about what might happen if the 15 million that supported her husband decide to revolt. Asked whether Buhari is aware of this, she replied: Whether he is aware or not the people who voted for him are aware and there’s nothing i can tell him because he sees everything too ....

Last week, a flash crash in the value of the pound pushed the exchange rate to lows not seen since the global financial crisis. Yesterday, official exchange rates settled at €1.10 to the pound and $1.21 to the pound. But bureaux de change at airports have taken the chance to slash rates to new lows. Figures collected by Money Mail yesterday showed that at Southampton Airport holidaymakers were being offered just €0.88 to the pound. That is a huge difference of 25 per cent to the official rate — compared with a typical margin of 10 per cent, according to foreign exchange firm FairFX. It's grim news for families who are preparing for half term in two weeks. Unless things improve, those heading to European Christmas markets, autumn sun in the Canaries, or visiting family in South Africa or Canada will find their trips costing hundreds of pounds more than last year.  In October 2015, when the official exchange rate was €1.349 to the pound, you would get €...
