The
Batman v Superman Trailer Gets the Retro Treatment With Christopher Reeve and
Adam West
BuzzSugar|Shannon-Vestal
Surely you've watched the Batman
v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer over and over since it came out last
week, but now there's a funny spoof of the trailer that even the biggest fanboys
will appreciate. Instead of Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck as
Superman and Batman, the former (and arguably most iconic) Superman and Batman
star: Christopher Reeve and Adam West. The audio is all from the original
trailer, but the footage is from the old TV shows and movies.
Earlier this month, we got news that Netflix was nearing a deal to bring back
Full House, and as of Monday, it's official! The streaming service
announced this week that 13 new episodes would come to Netflix in 2016 with the
new title of Fuller House. Former stars Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie
Sweetin, and Andrea Barber are confirmed to star, while John Stamos will produce
and guest-star; Netflix reports that it is in "ongoing" discussions with Bob
Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave
Coulier, and Lori Loughlin. The press release also has a description of the
rebooted show: Stephanie, an aspiring musician, and Kimmy, a single mom, move in
with pregnant D.J., who is a veterinarian and a mother of two boys, when she is
recently widowed (dark). Of course, it's all happening in San Francisco. The reboot
news has been around for a while, but this is it. It's really happening, so
get ready to hang out with the Tanners again, and take a look at little-known
Full House facts!
A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, Abuja, has fixed Friday
for judgment in a suit instituted by a former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala
Nyako, against the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim
Auta.
Nyako sued Justice Nyako over alleged wrongful transfer of his (Nyako’s)
suit challenging his impeachment in July 2014 from Yola Division of the Federal
High Court, where it had been scheduled for judgment, to Bauchi Division.
The plaintiff is seeking an order of mandamus compelling Justice Auta to
return the case file to Justice Bilikisu Aliyu of the Yola Division of the
Federal High Court, so that the reserved judgment of the court can be
delivered.
Justice Auta did not file any defence in the suit.
The presiding judge, Justice Ishaq Bello, after hearing Nyako’s lawyer, Mr.
Olukoya Ogungbeje, on March 25, 2015, had adjourned the matter for judgment
three times.
Justice Bello, who first fixed April 13 for judgment subsequently adjourned
again till Tuesday. But the judge on Tuesday again fixed Friday for the
judgment.
Nyako is with the fundamental rights enforcement suit, which he is seeking
its transfer to Yola Division of the Federal High Court, is challenging his
removal from office in July 2014.
He alleged that he was denied fair hearing by the impeachment panel which
recommended his removal from office to the state House of Assembly in July
2014.
Justice Aliyu had fixed February 12 to deliver judgment in the former
governor’s suit.
However, between February 3 when Justice Aliyu heard parties in the suit,
and February 12, 2015, when the matter was fixed for judgment, Justice Auta
called for the case file on account of a pending petition against the presiding
judge.
After three weeks of holding the file, Justice Auta transferred the matter
to Bauchi Division of the court.
Meanwhile, Justice M.G Umar of the Federal High Court in Bauchi, where
Justice Auta had transferred Nyako’s main suit to, has fixed Thursday for
judgment in a separate application asking for an order transferring the suit
back to Yola Division of the court.

When you cross the finish line of a marathon, you experience many unique emotions: relief that the race is over, curiosity about your pace, pride in your performance, and perhaps even a craving for cheeseburgers. But for Boston Marathon runner Amy Sennett, "Is my boyfriend proposing right now?" was the only thought racing through her head as she completed the 26.2-mile run.Amy's boyfriend of six years, Dan Koh, planned his proposal down to the tiniest detail. "Every .1 mile starting at mile 24.8, a different friend held up a poster with a message to the couple. Each of the 12 posters had a line from a poem that Koh wrote for Sennett," reports The Boston Globe.
Amy, you've changed my lifeAs the pair crossed the finish line together, Koh's boss - none other than Boston Mayor Marty Walsh - presented him with an engagement ring so that he could pop the question to Sennett. She happily said "yes," and the two celebrated with smiles, postrun sweat, and roses. Aww! Read on for more photos of the surprise proposal; we promise it's the sweetest thing you'll see all day.
We've been through it all
From Boston - (Kaya!)
To DC - (M Street!)
To New York - (Cramped Studio!)
To Philadelphia - (Talula's Garden!)
. . . and back.
There's a lot we have left to learn
But I know one thing for sure
I love you, and will love you, forever
You're the answer to all my questions
But I have one question left to ask . . .
The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, has said that he stands by his words that the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, is not an electable leader.Many critics of the All Progressives Congress candidate, including the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, who, in the buildup to the March 28 presidential election, condemned Buhari, had subsequently apologised after he won the election.
But Okupe, on Monday said he would stand by his words that Buhari, who he said had no West African Senior School Certificate, was not eligible to contest for President.
He stated on his official Facebook page, “These are very interesting times in our nation. An election has come and gone. A victor has emerged and the loser has conceded.
“Yet some of our folks are behaving as if we have just gone through a war between two hostile nations. The APC agents all over the place are unrelenting in their tirades of abuses, insults and lies against President Goodluck Jonathan, his aides and supporters.
“It is shameful that we are still saddled with denying falsehood and fabrications in the social media and even by hitherto highly respected newspapers.
“Missing $20bn found in an account in Zenith. PGEJ returns tons of dollars to federation accounts. N2tn spent on elections by PGEJ. Okupe says Chibok girls will not be found. How many lies, deliberate falsehood and evil propaganda, outright curses and attacks must we suffer just because we lost an election in which we were never disgraced?
“Buhari polled 15m (56 per cent) while Jonathan scored 12m (46per cent). Those who talk to us disparagingly should respect the sentiments of the 12m Nigerians who voted for Jonathan.
“Of course, we have our reservations about the results but we will pass on that for now. We have lost this election but this is not and can never be a crime. We are all Nigerians and having lost does not make us less. We should be allowed to bow out peacefully and constitutionally on the 29th of May.
“Yes, I said Buhari was not electable. I also said his victory will not happen. I said and I still insist that Buhari has no WASC certificate. I said a lot of things to promote my candidate and many things to put his opponent down.
“I have no regrets for any of the statements I made. Lai Mohammed said worse. This is the nature of politics. For anyone who cares to listen. We will be back, period.”
The Senate will adjourn plenary on Tuesday (today) in honour of the late Senator Uche Chukwumerije.The adjournment is in line with the tradition of the upper federal legislative chamber.
Chukwumerije, a three-term senator, was the Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, in the current 7th senate, until his death on Sunday at a Turkish Hospital in Abuja. He died at the age of 75.
The Senate traditionally honours dead members by postponing all items on the order paper at the first plenary after the demise of the member.
The Senate Leader will, immediately after the chamber is set for the session, request for an adjournment to honour the late colleague.
His motion for adjournment will then be seconded by the opposition minority leader while the senate president will call for voice vote from members after which he will make a pronouncement to adjourn plenary till the next legislative day.
Meanwhile, the senate said on Monday that it had lost a political giant with the death of Chukwumerije.
A statement by the senate spokesman, Enyinnaya Abaribe, described Chukwumerije as a political giant and one of the nation’s finest legislators.
The statement said the late lawmaker, who represented Abia North Senatorial District of Abia State in the senate, was “a repository of legislative tradition and practice.”
The statement read, “The Senate will surely miss his erudite contributions on the floor of the chamber and his painstaking approach to committee work.
“Chukwumerije was indeed an embodiment of legislative tradition and a consummate activist democrat who loved his people passionately.
“He will be remembered for his deep love for Ndigbo, which was manifested in his relentless struggle for the total political and social emancipation of the race over the years.
“The late Senator’s love for Nigeria and her corporate existence was unprecedented.”
Governor Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State has assured Nigerians that the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, will not fail the nation, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.“The APC-led Federal Government under Buhari will strive to meet the expectations and yearnings of Nigerians, irrespective of religious, ethnic or cultural differences,’’ he said.
Wamakko spoke on Monday in Sokoto when members of the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in the state paid him a courtesy visit.
He said, “Buhari will ensure social justice, adherence to the rule of law, youths and women empowerment, improvement of security and the power sector.
“All Nigerians will be treated equally and fairly under Buhari; the electorate in the country as well as the international community will find Buhari to be a worthy democratic leader.”
Wamakko said that the peaceful conduct of the 2015 general elections was a victory for democracy; he therefore urged Nigerians to continue with their support and prayers for the incoming administration to deliver.
He commended the Nigerian journalists for their objective coverage of the polls.
The leader of the visiting journalists, Mrs Rakiya Mohammed, said that the visit was to felicitate with the governor over the successful conclusion of the general elections in the state.
