Federal High Court Asks 37 PDP-to-APC Decamped Lawmakers To Vacate House Of Reps - PREMIUM TIMES

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday gave an order of perpetual injunction restraining the lawmakers who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from effecting any leadership change in the House of Representatives. Delivering judgment, Justice Adeniyi Ademola lambasted the decampee lawmakers. He said they no longer had any business, morally and legally, to stay in the House of Representatives. He said they should honourably resign from their seats as members, having moved to another political party while their tenure had yet to expire. “Having perused the arguments of counsel and the constitutional provisions, it is clear and unambiguous that the defendants were sponsored by the PDP and won the election on its platform. It is also the court’s opinion that their tenure has not expired and there is no division in the PDP. “The defendants are, therefore, not competent to vote or contribute to any proceedings in the House of Represent

Prince George Looks All Grown Up In Mother's Day Family Portrait

A rare glimpse of the eight-month-old Prince and his family taken at Kensington Palace Goodness, how he has grown! Just in time for Mother’s Day the Palace have released a stunning portrait of the new family – Prince William, the Duchess of Cambrige, baby Prince Greorge and their beloved pet dog, Lupo. And Prince George, dressed in a super cute personalized jumper, certainly seems interested in Lupo! The shot is wonderfully modern and definitely far less formal from some of the Palace’s usual offerings. Kate, 32, looks as radiant as always – in particular now considering she is in theory, a tired new Mum –of-one! The gorgeous pic was taken by award-winning photographer Jason Bell at a window of Apartment 1A of Kensington Palace. This is the first time we have officially seen baby George since his Christening last October when he was also photographed by Bell. However, it’s lovely to see the eight-month-old out of his ruffled gown and into a proper little boys outfit! Very handso

What Your Face Says About Your Health

The elements take a major toll on your hair and skin, but what if the sun and wind are not the only things to blame? Seemingly insignificant symptoms such as swollen gums or cracked lips can actually indicate a more serious problem such as a vitamin deficiency. In fact, long before you develop horrible conditions, your body sends you early warning signs when things are not quite right, and quite often these red alerts are right there in the mirror, staring back at you. If only you know where to look...

North Korea Men to Have 'Dear Leader Haircut' to Look Like Kim Jong-Un

It sounds like a plot straight out of a political satire movie but students in North Korea have been forced to have their hair cut like leader Kim Jong-un. Radio Free Asia reported that about two weeks ago male students are only allowed to have the 'dear leader haircut'. "Our leader's haircut is very particular, if you will," one source told Radio Free Asia. "It doesn't always go with everyone since everyone has different face and head shapes." Meanwhile, the report says that the look, an undercut with floppy curtains that has the semblance of a 1990s boyband hairstyle, is actually unpopular in North Korea because people think it resembles Chinese smugglers. "Until the mid-2000s, we called it the 'Chinese smuggler haircut'," the Korea Times reports. It seems that haircuts have been state-approved in North Korea for some time - until now people were only allowed to choose from 18 styles for women and 10 for men. Earlier, North Kore
