17 year old Leelah (Josh) Alcorn committed suicide
 on Sunday December 28th by walking in front of a tractor trailer and 
left a suicide note before he died. But when her mum reacted to her 
death on Facebook, she wrote something that many folks in the 
gay/transgender world are very upset about. First the mother said she 
was 16 when Leelah wrote she was 17. Carla called her Joshua instead of 
the name she'd given herself, Leelah and she also refused to acknowledge
 that Leelah had committed suicide instead she wrote that she was hit by
 a trailer. Meaning that she still doesn't accept who Leelah was as a 
person even after she committed suicide. After the backlash, Carla 
deleted the post and removed herself from Facebook. Leelah Alcorn blamed
 his suicide on his Christian parents...<br />

</ul>
(CNN) -- Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz was admitted to a hospital Wednesday for medical tests, according to a statement from the royal court cited by the state-run Saudi Press Agency.<br /><br />The King is in the National Guard Hospital in the capital, Riyadh, the statement said. It gave no further details of his health.<br /><br />According to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, Abdullah, 90, was born in Riyadh in 1924.<br /><br />He was named crown prince, or heir to the throne, in 1982 and succeeded King Fahd, his half-brother, on his death in 2005.<br /><br />He had in effect been running the country since Fahd had a stroke in 1996 -- and in nearly a decade of ruling on behalf of his brother, he began opening the door to reform.<br /><br />Since ascending to the throne, he has taken steps toward broader freedoms and has invested some of the country's vast oil wealth in large-scale education and infrastructure projects.<br /><br />However, resistance from conservative factions has hindered some of his efforts, leaving many women in particular disappointed by a lack of progress toward greater independence.<br /><br />Under Abdullah's leadership, the country has, though, slowly squashed al Qaeda, capturing or killing its leaders in the kingdom, forcing the remnants underground and sidelining radical preachers.<br /><br />It has also taken a more prominent role in international affairs and is a key U.S. ally in the region.<br /><br />Earlier this year, it became the lead Arab nation in a U.S.-led coalition to eradicate the ultra-radical ISIS group in Iraq and Syria.

<br />
<br />
General Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that 2015 will be a better year for all Nigerians.<br /><br />In a statement released on Wednesday, Buhari said, “as we welcome the year 2015, I have shared a message to Nigerians in general, but I find it crucial to send another message directly to Nigeria’s youth, who are the major stakeholders of this enterprise.”<br /><br />“The year 2014 was a challenging one for most citizens of our dear country.”<br /><br />Read full statement below:<br /><br />We remember our compatriots who were brutishly killed or maimed by evil terrorists in 2014. I remember with a still broken heart that 219 of our children from Chibok are yet missing, let down by a country that should protect them. I remember that, even as I speak, some of our towns and villages are yet under the occupation of Boko Haram.<br /><br />Yes, it is enough for you to despair. It is enough for you to wonder if your country cares about you and can protect you. But do not despair.<br /><br />2015 has arrived at a time of great discomfort; but the beauty of the New Year is that we can look forward with renewed hope and the knowledge that things can and will change. <br /><br />In Nigeria’s case, we can truly look forward to the change that the elections can, and will, bring. Our country will be secure again. Our country will prosper again.<br /><br />I have faith that 2015 is the year we shall begin to write a new story – a story of our youth creating jobs and expanding the frontiers of innovation and creativity everywhere from Mavin Records to the Co-Creation Hub; a story of genuine investment in our children and students be they in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka or in the Delta State University, Abraka; a country that finally makes a permanent shift from our debilitating dependence on the free-falling price of crude oil.<br /><br />I have unshakeable faith that 2015 will be the year of change.<br /><br />Now some of you have asked me: what exactly does ‘change’ mean?<br /><br />I have taken time to explain this at different opportunities, but on this special day, let me remind you in five short statements.<br /><br />Change means:<br /><br />• A country that you can be proud of at anytime and anywhere: where corruption is tackled, where your leaders are disciplined and lead with vision and clarity; where the stories that emerge to the world from us are full of hope and progress.<br />• A Nigeria in which neither yourselves, nor your parents, families or friends will have to fear for your safety, or for theirs.<br />• A Nigeria where citizens get the basics that any country should provide: infrastructure that works, healthcare that is affordable, even free; respect for the environment and sustainable development, education that is competitive and outcome-oriented in a knowledge-economy.<br />• A country that provides jobs for its young people, reducing unemployment to the lowest of single digits and providing safety nets so that no one is left behind.<br />• A Nigeria where entrepreneurship thrives, enterprise flourishes and the government gets out of your way so that you can create value, build the economy and aggressively expand wealth.<br />Are these things truly possible? Of course. That is the essence and outcome of leadership, and that is what my party and I promise you as we get into 2015.<br />My dear friends, this New Year, more than ever before, I am hopeful about Nigeria.<br /><br />Yes, you are disappointed and you are angry, as you are entitled to, but you must never give in to the temptation to feel so weighed down by those who have failed you that you lose your hope and your energy and your passion to see change. You must never give up on Nigeria.<br /><br />Together, we can build a nation that is secure, prosperous and gives everyone a fair chance.<br /><br />This is the promise that 2015 holds. That is the promise that change will bring. That is the promise that I bring to you.<br /><br />Once again, I wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year. <br /><br />Thank you and God bless Nigeria.

Others are: Generals Colin Powell, a former chairman, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff; Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II and one time U.S. President; Walter Bedell Smith, Eisenhower’s Chief of Staff at Allied Headquarters; James Peake, a former U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the 40th Surgeon General of the country and Buhari, in that order.<br /><br />Born in 1942 in Daura, Katsina State, Buhari was trained at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Mons Officer Cadet School, Aldershot, England and the U.S. War College which did the ranking.<br /><br />One of the criteria for inclusion on the honours list, according to ranker.com is the people must “have gone to U.S. Army War College and be of some renown.”<br /><br />This list is currently trending in the social media to counter the allegation that Buhari did not have any certificate and that he never passed his military examinations.<br /><br />Others on the list are: John J. Pershing who led America’s Expeditionary Froces in World War I; Mark W. Clark who, in World War II, Commanded the Allied Fifth Army and Norman Schwarzkopf, who led the coalision forces in the Persian Gulf War.<br /><br />Also included are Omar Bradley Anthony, Mc Auhffey, Walter Krugger, Lyman Lemnitzer, Richard Myers, Charles T.

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Indonesian search officials have now confirmed they have located the fuselage of 
AirAsia flight 8501 on sonar radar, upside down on the sea floor, not far from where three of the bodies 
from the doomed AirAsia flight were found holding hands when discovered 
floating in the Java Sea. Officials
 from Basarnas, Indonesia's search and rescue agency, say the plane 
wreckage has been located in 24 to 30 metres of water and one of the 
seven confirmed recovered bodies was wearing a life jacket. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lieutenant Airman 
Tri Wobowo, who was co-piloting Indonesia's C130 Herclues aircraft, was 
the first to discover debris from the plane and witnessed the tragic 
scene. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">'There were seven to eight people. Three of them held hands,' he 
told a local newspaper. </span><br />

A plane door, a blue suitcase, oxygen tank and 
the remnants of an emergency slide were among the objects found about 
10km from where the plane was last detected on radar. But the most 
harrowing discoveries were the corpses floating in the Java Sea - about 
100 miles off the coast - and search chiefs fully expect none of the 162
 passengers and crew on board made it out of the wreckage alive.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 1-Can we meet you<br />
My name is Pearl Hart, I'm a TV presenter at Soundcity TV. I love the good life and it's evident in my smile.</span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
2-What does fashion,style and lifestyle mean to you<br />
  Fashion to me is a way of life. I mean I dress to my mood so it's basically about the various turns in my life.</span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
3-Do you go with trends or your own fashion lane?</span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
I'm more into my own style. Yes there are trends but I don't subscribe 
to all. The ones I like I definitely wear so u can say I go with 
whatever suits me.</span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
4Your most embarrassed fashion moment ?<br />
I'll start with an advice; If ur slit loosens make sure u tack it 
immediately, try to pin it in place and simply go straight home. This 
happened to me years back; it was a nice white skirt with a short slit 
behind. I didn't realise when it started loosening. The more I walked 
the more the stitches came off. Before I knew it, I had my butt cheeks 
out in the open in church. It's a very sad story.</span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
5-What do you think about modern African fashion trends? The oleku and 
Sturvs and the rate of fashion styles with African clothes ?<br />
- it's quite impressive that we have started to appreciate our own. More
 so with all the new styles out. U can have different prints sewn as iro
 and buba, or our ankara sewn as harem pants or anything u can think of.
 The creativity is enormous and I'm ready to embrace it.</span></span>

Text of the New Year message to Nigerians by the National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu...<br />
<br />
    As we enter a New Year today, it is all too easy to give in to despair and despondency at the current state of Nigeria. The gap between our tremendous potentials as a country and our actual attainments is depressing and disheartening. For a country as endowed with human, material and natural resources as Nigeria, the level of poverty in which the vast majority of our people live is appalling and unacceptable.  The voodoo statistics of illusory growth and progress peddled by those currently in charge of Nigeria’s affairs do not reflect the dire material circumstances of millions of Nigerians.<br />
<br />
The ever widening inequality between the wealthy minority and the impoverished majority is fueled largely by a scale of corruption and outright theft of public funds that have reached unprecedented heights in today’s Nigeria.<br />
All of these are responsible for the large scale manifestation of sundry forms of violence and insecurity across the country that undermines the very foundations of the Nigerian state. Yet, the growing impunity of an arrogant, imperious and complacent presidency weaken the rule of law and prevent the purposeful and responsible governance necessary to tackle Nigeria’s severe challenges.<br />
But then, despair is a luxury we can ill afford as a country and a people at this time. Despair breeds depression and a sense of hopelessness. This can only result in a paralysis of the popular will that will benefit those who want to lull us into collective inaction, so they can perpetuate their misrule of our much abused country. 2015 will be one of the critical and momentous years in the history of Nigeria. It must be a time to renew our hope in the possibilities of our country. Hope enables us to generate the strength to take the positive action as citizens to achieve the positive change Nigeria so badly needs today.<br />
Another Nigeria is possible. A Nigeria where focused, visionary and competent governance vigorously tackles corruption, insecurity, poverty and promotes peace, progress and prosperity for all is attainable. After the current darkness, a glorious, new dawn for Nigeria is possible. But this needed change will not occur by chance. It can only be the result of deliberate and purposeful action on the part of our people to utilise democracy and popular power to achieve national liberation and transformation.<br />
If not urgently addressed, the stratospheric level of hunger, deprivation and inequality in the land will inevitably provoke a violent revolution in the land. Indeed, we already have a situation difficult to distinguish from bloody revolution on our hand. It manifests in the armed robbery, kidnapping, communal conflicts, religious extremism, terrorism and ritual killings rampant in Nigeria today. We have no choice but to be active participants in the common sense democratic revolution needed to salvage our country. It is a common sense revolution that must insist that legitimate power flows from the will people duly expressed in free and fair elections. Governments must assume and remain in power only at the pleasure of the people. That is the only way that democracy can promote development by ensuring that government is responsible and accountable to the people. <br />
My message to our fellow country men and women is thus simple: this year must be one of eternal vigilance on the part of us all. This is the price we must pay for our democratic rights and liberties as citizens. Let us make no mistake about it. The traumatic experience of the over 200 Chibok girls who have remained in captivity for over six months shows that plaintive cries to an impotent government to ‘bring back our girls’ have become insufficient. Rather, we must utilise the power of our vote to ‘take back our country’ from the predators and scavengers in the corridors and bedrooms of power that currently hold her hostage. This calls for eternal vigilance to exercise our vote and protect out sacred mandate at the polls.<br />
As the careless, reckless, irresponsible and highly suspicious handling of the distribution of Permanent Voters Cards by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has shown, every effort will be made to disempower voters by a sinking and desperate administration. Millions of voters across the country have been disenfranchised in the flawed process. This subtle coup against the very foundation of democracy, voters’ power, must be challenged and resisted. Flaws in the process must be corrected. All eligible citizens must be enabled to exercise their inalienable right to vote for a government of their choice. This can only be achieved through eternal vigilance and persistence by the populace in insisting that the entire electoral process must be free, fair, transparent and credible.<br />
Nigerians face a critical choice at the polls this year. We must vote for either continuity of the present decadent order or change. Yes, many state governments across the country have performed creditably in diverse sectors despite the meager resources at their disposal compared to the Federal Government. However, the PDP-controlled Federal Government, which controls the bulk of the country’s resources, has been an abysmal failure. It has failed to provide the necessary leadership for accelerated national development commensurate with its immense resources and its phenomenal powers under the present corruption. The Dr. Goodluck Jonathan Presidency in particular has been a catastrophic disaster.<br />
The country today has degenerated to unprecedented levels of global obloquy as a result of the prevalent repellent levels of corruption, impunity, insecurity and leadership mediocrity. The greatest need of the hour is a drastic change of direction at the national level. It is the emergence of a visionary, responsible, patriotic, purposeful and competent Federal Government that will diligently pursue the path of transparency, accountability, respect for the rule of law, true federalism and justice without which there can be no national transformation. As I wish the good people of Nigeria a happy new year, I urge us to rededicate ourselves to the realization of the positive change on which the very survival of the country depends. Eternal vigilance must be our watchword this year. <br />

A New Year message to Nigeria’s youth from Muhammadu Buhari

<br />
...and here's Gen. Buhari's New Year message to Nigerian youths...<br />
<br />
<br />
    As we welcome the year 2015, I have shared a message to Nigerians in general, but I find it crucial to send another message directly to Nigeria’s youth, who are the major stakeholders of this enterprise.<br />
<br />
<br />
    The year 2014 was a challenging one for most citizens of our dear country.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We remember our compatriots who were brutishly killed or maimed by evil terrorists in 2014. I remember with a still broken heart that 219 of our children from Chibok are yet missing, let down by a country that should protect them. I remember that, even as I speak, some of our towns and villages are yet under the occupation of Boko Haram.<br />
<br />
Yes, it is enough for you to despair. It is enough for you to wonder if your country cares about you and can protect you. But do not despair.<br />
<br />
2015 has arrived at a time of great discomfort; but the beauty of the New Year is that we can look forward with renewed hope and the knowledge that things can and will change.<br />
<br />
In Nigeria’s case, we can truly look forward to the change that the elections can, and will, bring. Our country will be secure again. Our country will prosper again.<br />
<br />
I have faith that 2015 is the year we shall begin to write a new story - a story of our youth creating jobs and expanding the frontiers of innovation and creativity everywhere from Mavin Records to the Co-Creation Hub; a story of genuine investment in our children and students be they in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka or in the Delta State University, Abraka; a country that finally makes a permanent shift from our debilitating dependence on the free-falling price of crude oil.<br />
<br />
I have unshakeable faith that 2015 will be the year of change.<br />
<br />
Now some of you have asked me: what exactly does ‘change’ mean?<br />
<br />
I have taken time to explain this at different opportunities, but on this special day, let me remind you in five short statements.<br />
<br />
Change means:<br />
<br />
1.      A country that you can be proud of at anytime and anywhere: where corruption is tackled, where your leaders are disciplined and lead with vision and clarity; where the stories that emerge to the world from us are full of hope and progress.<br />
2.     A Nigeria in which neither yourselves, nor your parents, families or friends will have to fear for your safety, or for theirs.<br />
3.     A Nigeria where citizens get the basics that any country should provide: infrastructure that works, healthcare that is affordable, even free; respect for the environment and sustainable development, education that is competitive and outcome-oriented in a knowledge-economy.<br />
4.     A country that provides jobs for its young people, reducing unemployment to the lowest of single digits and providing safety nets so that no one is left behind.<br />
5.     A Nigeria where entrepreneurship thrives, enterprise flourishes and the government gets out of your way so that you can create value, build the economy and aggressively expand wealth.<br />
Are these things truly possible? Of course. That is the essence and outcome of leadership, and that is what my party and I promise you as we get into 2015.<br />
My dear friends, this New Year, more than ever before, I am hopeful about Nigeria.<br />
<br />
Yes, you are disappointed and you are angry, as you are entitled to, but you must never give in to the temptation to feel so weighed down by those who have failed you that you lose your hope and your energy and your passion to see change. You must never give up on Nigeria. <br />
Together, we can build a nation that is secure, prosperous and gives everyone a fair chance.<br />
This is the promise that 2015 holds. That is the promise that change will bring. That is the promise that I bring to you.<br />
Once again, I wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.<br />
Thank you and God bless Nigeria.
