N255m car scandal: Presidential panel indicts Stella Oduah

According to a report by Punch, the committee set up by President Jonathan to probe the N255m bulletproof car scandal in the aviation ministry has indicted Aviation Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah.

It was gathered  in Abuja on Sunday  that the report of the presidential committee tallied  with some findings of the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation on the scandal. On  December 19, 2013, the House endorsed the report of its committee and agreed that the minister breached the 2013 Appropriation Act.

It was learnt on Sunday that the  panel, like that of  the House, also discovered that the minister’s approval for the cars exceeded the N100m limit.

A top government source, who disclosed this to Punch on Sunday, said although the committee indicted Oduah , it did not say whether she should be sacked or not.

 But sources told Punch  that there was every likelihood of the President using the cabinet shake -up that would follow the presentation of his ministerial list to the National Assembly to relieve himself of Oduah’s continued presence in his government.

Kim Kardashian puts her famous curves on display in new pictures, debunks photoshop rumors

After hitting back at reports she digitally altered several Instagram photos of herself in order to appear slimmer than she really is, Kim Kardashian stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday with her curves on full display.
And there was no denying the star has rebounded not just to her pre-pregnancy shape, but is looking better than ever almost seven months on.

The mom-of-one looked positively bootylicious as she showed off her slim and toned pins and gravity-defying ample derrière in skin-tight pale blue jeans with a trendy rip in the right knee.

The 33-year-old wore her long ombre tresses in her signature wavy style and was bronzed to within an inch of her life, with matching shimmery eyeshadow and glossy nude lips to match.
Earlier that day, the star slammed rumours she had relied on Photoshop to fool fans into thinking she is slimmer than she really is, after posing for a post-workout selfie with pal Blac Chyna.

‘It sucks when people make up surgery or Photoshop lies when I am so disciplined & work so hard!’ she wrote on Twitter. ‘Just trying to motivate others & show anyone struggling with weight they can totally achieve whatever they want if they are dedicated!’

UNBELIEVABLE: Life-like Sculptures of Humans Handmade From Clay (PHOTOS)

These pictures may look like real humans, but they are actually life-like sculptures moulded with clay.

A couple spoon on a stone slab bed, a mother cradles her baby and a giant man’s face looks stunningly realistic for the models which have in fact been created in a workshop.

London-based sculptor Ron Mueck creates the hyper-realistic sculptures by hand and they range from heart-warming to slightly unsettling.

He has managed to make a couple under an umbrella look like they are sat in the room with you, while another shows a newborn baby still bloody with its umbilical chord attached.

Mueck sculpts the masterpieces in clay inside a plaster mould, before replacing it with a mixture of fibreglass, silicone and resin.

He has been making them since 1996, after moving from his former job as a model maker and puppeteer for children’s television.

Mueck also likes to play with scale to make some of his works large while others are tiny.
