President Goodluck Jonathan has described the foster mother of his
wife as a woman with rare attributes who was always willing to share the
little she had with everyone.
Jonathan said this in Abuja yesterday in Abuja when Vice President
Mohammed Namadi Sambo-led members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC)
to condole with him and his wife over the death of Mrs. Charity Oba.
He said the family had been deeply pained since the news was broken,
adding that the deceased was dear to them and responsible in bringing up
his wife.
"Our mother that died is quite dear to us, not just today that we are
playing politics. The first lady stayed with her till she grew up. This
lady never complained and even for me as an in-law, I was free with
her, she shared what she had. She used her savings from trade to support
us,
" he said.
"It is very difficult to have somebody with such rare attributes. That is why when we heard about the death we were very pained"
The chaplain of Aso Villa, Ven. Obioma Onwuzurumba, led the prayers for the repose of deceased's soul.
Meanwhile, in her tribute, First Lady Patience Jonathan described her
mother as "a mother in a million who was a devoted mother and a devout
Christian."
She recalled that Madam Charity Oba, who was the younger sister of
her biological mother, who had raised her from a tender age and made her who
she is today.

Lorde may be smarting a bit today after her surprising hit "Royals" was knocked down to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — courtesy of Eminem's "Rap God"
— but she can take solace in the fact that a real-life rap god Rick
Ross has churned out a remix of her hit. Oh, and he probably wouldn't
mind collaborating with her, either.

Nicki Minaj is a busy gal. Yes, it's been about 18 months since she dropped her last official LP (Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded), but in that time, she's given fans plenty: There was a deluxe release (The Re-Up)
and a ton of feature verses for Chris Brown, Ciara, Big Sean, Meek
Mill, Wale, Mario and DJ Khaled. Now though, Nicki has got some things
to get off her chest, so she's gearing up to for her third LP.
