Buhari says he would rather invest in agriculture than give N5k to unemployed Nigerians While speaking during a meeting in Saudi Arabia, President Buhari said he had a different opinion on the N5000 stipend his party promised to give to unemployed Nigerians when they come into power. Buhari said he would rather use the N5000 to repair the infrastructures in schools and empower mining and agriculture than to give the money to people who don't work; “This largesse of N5,000 for the unemployed, I have got a slightly different priority. I would rather do the infrastructure for the school that request them and empower agriculture, mining so that every able bodied person can go and get work instead of giving 5,000, N5,000 to those who don’t work.”

What attracted her to him then? 'His mind, his amazing mind' she says. If h...

Trouble in paradise for Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill? That is what TMZ is exclusively reporting...and it's because of his impending 3-months house arrest Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill are on thin ice after a blowout fight over his impending house arrest. Our sources say the friction surfaced after Meek tried pressuring Nicki to stay close when he goes into lockdown for 90 days for violating his probation on drug and gun charges. We're told Meek wanted Nicki to live with him in Philly during his house arrest. We're told Nicki blanched at the notion, saying she would not put her life on hold because of his criminal issues, and that triggered a big fight that is still unresolved. Nicki's been in L.A. this week ... and it's unclear when she's going back to Philly. Our sources say Nicki and Meek fight a lot, but this one's bigger than the others.
