Barack Obama may be coming to the end of his second term as president - but that has not stopped him from squeezing out time to do some fun television appearances.

POTUS was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel�s late night TV show - where he read out �Mean Tweets� about him from trolls and his number one frenemy, Donald Trump.

One of the tweets he read out was from Trump. The tweet said: "President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!"

To which he brilliantly responded: "Well, @realDonaldTrump, at least I will go down as a president."

Watch the video...

Last time he claimed "bae" gave him N7million - one of his Lekki neighbour's shamed him publicly by exposing that he actually lived in a self-contained boys quarters room behind somebody's house - not in a mansion as he had previously boasted.

Now Bobrisky is claiming "bae" gifted him a 2015 Acura car and brand new duplex + N10million.

Hmmm.

Yemi Alade's fans are calling her out for doing "eye service" by posting Tiwa Savage's picture on Instagram and begging people to vote her for MOBO award.

Fans are finding it difficult to understand why she would do that since she's also nominated in the same category.

People are saying she's doing it to compensate Tiwa for losing out on the Best Female Act award at last Saturday's MTV MAMAs.

Yemi Alade took home the Best Female Act award at the ceremony. It's the second time in a row she's winning the award.

Imagine being the most famous woman on earth - with over 200 million followers on all social media platforms - but not everyone knows who you are. Paris Police Chief has surprisingly revealed to the press that he didn't know who Kim Kardashian was until she was robbed. That's like our Police IG Ibrahim Idris, saying he doesn't know who Beyonce is.

The police chief investigating the �8.5million Kim Kardashian heist had never heard of the world famous celebrity - and only found out who she was after searching her name on the internet.

Paris police chief Christian Sainte received a phone call at 3am - just after the raid at her room in the luxury hotel in the French capital.

Miss Kardashian, who is married to famous rapper Kanye West, was bound and gagged before robbers stole her expensive jewellery.

Mr Sainte told Vanity Fair that the night officer in Paris informed him that a woman called Kim Kardashian had been the victim of an armed robbery in the city.

He told the magazine: 'I asked my number two "Who is this victim?"'

The night manager was also unaware of who she was and after the phone call, Mr Sainte searched her name and 'quickly understood who she was'.

He added: 'And now I know almost everything about her. The personality of the victim, Kim Kardashian, is not like anyone else. She has a lot of likes on Facebook.'

Mr Sainte added that Kardashian is 'giving information on social media all the time' about where she is but added he is confident of catching the robbers.

A baby girl from Lewisville, Texas, has been "born" twice after she was taken out of her mother's womb for 20 minutes for life-saving surgery.

Via BBC.com
At 16 weeks pregnant, Margaret Hawkins Boemer discovered her daughter, Lynlee Hope, had a tumour on her spine.

The mass, known as a sacrococcygeal teratoma, was diverting blood from the foetus - raising the risk of fatal heart failure.

Baby Lynlee weighed just 1lb 3oz (0.53kg) when surgeons opened the womb.


Mrs Boemer had originally been expecting twins, but lost one of her babies before the second trimester. She was initially advised to terminate her pregnancy entirely before doctors at Texas Children's Fetal Center suggested the risky surgery.

The tumour and the unborn baby were almost the same size by the time the operation was performed. Lynlee was given a 50% chance of survival.

Mrs Boemer told CNN: "At 23 weeks, the tumour was shutting her heart down and causing her to go into cardiac failure, so it was a choice of allowing the tumour to take over her body or giving her a chance at life. It was an easy decision for us: We wanted to give her life."


'Her heart stopped'
Doctor Darrell Cass of Texas Children's Fetal Centre was one of the team who carried out the surgery. He said the tumour had been so large that a "huge" incision was required to reach it, leaving the baby "hanging out in the air".

Lynlee's heart virtually stopped during the procedure but a heart specialist kept her alive while most of the tumour was removed, he added. The team then placed her back in her mother's womb and sewed her uterus up.


Mrs Boemer spent the next 12 weeks on bedrest, and Lynlee entered the world for the second time on 6 June. She was born via Caesarean at almost full term, weighing 5Ib and 5oz, and named after both of her grandmothers.

When Lynlee was eight days old, a further operation helped remove the rest of the tumour from her tailbone.

Dr Cass said the baby girl was now home and thriving. "Baby Boemer is still an infant but is doing beautiful," he confirmed.

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a rare form of tumour seen in one out of 30,000-70,000 live births. Its cause is unknown but baby girls are affected four times more often than boys.

Jigawa State Government has disclosed that some teachers said to have gone for in-service courses in universities across the world, have graduated but has since refused to report to their place of work.

The action of those teachers compelled the government to further suspend indefinitely in-service training courses and set up special committee to find those involved and other teachers receiving salaries without coming to work, Vanguard reports.

The government was furious that the teachers betrayed its trust by remaining abroad when their expertise was needed back home.

Lamenting the development, the Head of Service, Mohammed Inuwa Tahir, told journalists yesterday that some workers spent 14 to 15 years studying.

He said: �What kind of degree course does a worker spend 15 years studying and still collecting salaries. Our government will not condone laziness and unfair act by some workers who have the habit of completing their study and refusing to report back to their place of work.�

The officials said the screening committee was established to fish out absentees and ghost workers, contrary to some insinuations that it was set up to witch-hunt workers.
