President Buhari dismisses allegations of US government linking to Boko Haram

Statement from the presidency below...

Persisting claims in  the local and international media that President Buhari has accused or indicted the United States Government of helping the terrorist group, Boko Haram are untrue and widely off mark.

Reports to that effect are an unfortunate misinterpretation and distortion of the President’s remarks at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) during his highly successful official visit to Washington DC.

Indeed, President Buhari made it abundantly clear in those remarks, copies of which were circulated to the media, that he was convinced that the United States could never support groups such as Boko Haram.
“I know the American people cannot support any group engaged in these crimes,” the President clearly stated.

The regrets expressed by President Buhari at USIP about the impact of the application of the Leahy Law on Nigeria’s war against  Boko Haram and terrorism cannot be construed as an indictment of President Barack Obama and the United States Government who have publicly and privately declared their preparedness to give the Buhari Administration the fullest possible support and assistance.
Within the context in which they were made, President Buhari’s comments on the adverse effect of the Leahy Law on Nigeria’s efforts to contain Boko Haram’s atrocious acts of terrorism should only be taken as a passionate appeal for even greater understanding and support from a very powerful and longstanding ally.

President Buhari has nothing but the highest possible regard for President Obama, the United States Government, the people of the United States, their laws and institutions.
The President had very successful and useful talks with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, other high-ranking US government officials and members of United States Congress during his visit to Washington DC.

It is his expectation that those talks will lead to better mutual understanding and a further deepening of bilateral relations between Nigeria and the United States, especially in Nigeria’s current priority areas of  defence and security cooperation.

Eminem comes after Miley Cyrus, Bill Cosby and other...

Eminem was last heard of after dropping a heart warming story of the letter the rapper wrote to Tupac's mother. But the rapper is back with a bomb in a long straight to the point six minutes freestyle that points the the direction of some major headline maker of the moment.

The rapper stopped by Sway's Sirius XM morning show yesterday to drop a blistering six-minute freestyle that attacks pretty much every major headline-maker of the moment.

In one long improvised verse, Em comes after everyone from Bill Cosby to Miley Cyrus. Heck, at one point he even dings longtime backup quarterback Byron Leftwich.

Of course, it wouldn't be an Eminem freestyle without a bit of outrage and lots of folks think the rapper went too far in a series of lines in which he targets both Donald Trump and Caitlyn Jenner:

"I'm f--ked worse than Donald Trump /On Lexapro in Mexico across from a Texaco in a McDonald's drunk...I invented prick, and that’s a true statement, I see the bitch in you, Caitlyn / Keep the pistol tucked like Bruce Jenner’s dick."

It's certainly not hard to see why some folks are offended, but in an unprecedented move, Shady used his next line to apologize to Caitlyn and clarify that he has no animosity toward the reality star:

"No disrespect though, not at all," Em rapped. "No pun intended, that took a lot of balls."

Check out the clip above for the entire freestyle. The lyrics about the Bill Cosby scandal could only come from Mr. Mathers.
