Why President Obama Feels Bad For Boys Who Try To Date Malia & Sasha

President Barack Obama’s daughters, Malia and Sasha, are 18 and 15 now, prime dating age. And guys actually do go out with them, Obama said. “That happened, you know?” he told a North Carolina radio station on Friday. “The truth is, I’m pretty relaxed about it for two reasons.

“One is [their mom] Michelle. She’s taught—she’s such a great example of how she carries herself, her self-esteem, not depending on boys to validate how you look or you know, not letting yourself be judged by anything other than your character and intelligence,” he said. “And hopefully I’ve been a good example in terms of how I’ve shown respect to my wife. So I don’t worry about it because they’re really solid, smart girls—young ladies now.”

And anyway, Obama has a fail-safe: “The other reason is because they’ve had Secret Service. There’s only so much these guys can do. These poor young men come by my house and….”

“They have no idea—” the radio host remarked.

“No, they have an idea. I describe for them….” Obama then laughed. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, a bunch of hopeful guys shivered.

Drop In Oil Production Bad For Nigeria’s Economy- Kachikwu

Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, has identified seven key implementation strategies to boost the petroleum industry and enhence export of refined products by 2019.
Kachikwu, who spoke at the Presidential Quarterly Business Forum between the Private Sector and the Economic Management Team (EMT) in Abuja on Monday, listed policy and regulation; business environment and investment drive; transparency and efficiency; stakeholder management and international coordination as of primary concerns of the ministry.
Represented by Mr Johnson Awoyemi,, the Senior Technical Adviser of the ministry, the Minister identified peace and security in the Niger Delta region as being crucial in the programme.
Others, according to him, include engaging in gas revolution as well as increasing refineries and local production capacity.
“Oil and gas will drive diversification but the drop in oil production to 1.56 billion barrels per day from the annual estimate of 2.2 billion barrels per day will negatively affect growth.’’
The Minister stressed the need to empower the Niger Delta region and ensure peace in the region by stopping militancy and enhancing the attainment of national aspirations in oil and gas production.
Kachikwu said that several companies in the sector are indebted in royalties to the tune of about four billion dollars. He said there was need for policies on oil, gas, downstream and fiscal reform, adding that the proposed petroleum industry bill (PIB) had become very imperative.
Kachikwu said there were challenges in the oil and gas sector which led to drop in the nation’s GDP growth from 6 per cent to 4 per cent, stressing that this had led to shortage of funds for providing critical infrastructure.
He explained that the 29 per cent decline in oil production has resulted in the loss of 700,000 million barrels per day.

4 Types Of Relationships That Are Bad For Your Money (MUST READ)

1. The broke friend

Do you have a friend who always seems to be in a financial bind? When you ask about his day are you usually met with a heart-wrenching story of his never-ending financial woes? It’s not unusual to fall on hard times every now and then, but it can get annoying when you keep encountering that one friend who seems to be perpetually broke. It’s OK to help out, but if your friend is starting to make a habit of asking for money, it’s time to re-evaluate your friendship. Is he your friend because he genuinely likes and supports you, or is your friend merely looking for a handout?

2. The gold digger

Does your significant other often expect you to pay for everything? Don’t let love blind you to a possible gold digger (and yes, we know that person could be a man or a woman). If you seem to be the only one opening up your wallet, it’s a sign your partner may primarily be with you for financial support. Pay close attention to how your partner acts during times when you don’t have a lot of cash to spare. Does your partner become cold and distant or are you met with compassion and support?

3. The irresponsible family member

Watch out for the family member who is constantly asking to “borrow” money. If you decide to give some of your hard-earned cash, just know beforehand that you may never get it back. Also make sure that you can actually afford to give the money in the first place. It’s not selfish to take care of your own financial needs first; it’s smart. Our advice when it comes to lending money: don’t. However, if you feel that you must lend, make sure you have enough in savings to cover your own expenses.

4. The big-spending spouse

Being in a relationship with a shopaholic is not fun. Your days and nights will likely be filled with arguments about money, email alerts about overdrawn bank accounts, and plenty of tears. If your partner has poor financial management skills, you’ll need to nip this in the bud before things get out of control.  A spendthrift spouse could put you in a tight spot in the event you were to make a significant financial purchase, such as a home. Organizations such as Shopaholics Anonymous and Debtors Anonymous are two good places for your partner to seek help.

2015 BET Awards: The Good, Bad & Ugly

Sean "Diddy" Combs, Lil' Kim, 2015 BET Awards

The 2015 BET Awards celebrated its 15th anniversary on Sunday night, which was fitting because the biggest and best moments of the night were all about throwback performances, appearances from old school artists and mashups of greatest hits.

From the Janet Jackson tribute to Rihanna‘s duct tape mystery, here are the best and worst moments from the 2015 BET Awards:

Throwback Mashup: Old-school Diddy? Mase? 112? Lil’ Kim? The greatest hits performance honoring 20 years of BET Awards was ever-y-thing. They brought the house down. And speaking of down…

Diddy Goes Down: During that now iconic BET moment, Diddy took a tumble. It almost looked like it was part of the performance. Almost.

Nicki Minaj, 2015 BET Awards

Twinsies: Gabrielle Union and Laverne Cox wore the same white dress and they both looked flawless. But someone had to change. After some hip-hop trivia, Gabrielle admitted defeat and said she would switch outfits for the after parties.

Destiny’s Who? Kelly Rowland stumbled over the name of Destiny’s Child…you know, that super successful iconic girl group she was a part of back in the day. She recovered well, though, and you could tell even she was surprised by her slip-up.

Patti LaBelle Shuts It Down: One of the final performances of the evening included a cameo by the one and only Patti LaBelle. She sang the s–t out of that song and even gave a cute little speech about the recent Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality, saying “all people can love whoever you want and you can even get married.”

 

Anthony Anderson, 2015 BET Awards

Sam Smith Misses Out: The crooner won Best New Artist, but he wasn’t there to accept the award, so Anthony Anderson, in a Sam Smith-esque wig, picked it up for him. “Sam Smith isn’t here tonight because he’s white,” Anderson quipped. “And he didn’t think he would win at the BET Awards and we showed him that we love him, too!”

Anderson ended his acceptance speech with a little song in the tune of Smith’s smash hit “Stay With Me”: “This award is going to stay with me, for you not showing up to BET.”

B2K TBT: Chris Brown‘s performance was just fine until Omarion got onstage. It’s not like we didn’t enjoy an appearance by the former B2K boyband member, but instead of Twitter applauding his performance, they were too busy wondering where the hell he has been or what he was doing there.

 

Alicia Keys, The Weeknd, 2015 BET Awards

Working for The Weeknd: It one of the most anticipated moments of the night, and it did not disappoint. The Weeknd performed his hit song “The Hills” and killed it, but when Alicia Keys showed up to help him sing the Fifty Shades tune “Earned It,” it brought the crowd to its proverbial knees.

Empire State of Mind: This year’s hottest new show hit the BET Awards when the cast sang hits from the Fox drama: “Drip Drop,” “No Apologies,” and the catchy “You’re So Beautiful.” If you weren’t bouncing in your seat, you were probably asleep. Or dead.

Motherly Love: Nicki Minaj brought her mom onstage with her to accept the award for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, which she has won six years(!) in a row. Also, how sweet was Meek‘s giant smile while he watched his girl up onstage?

MIA Hosts: Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross were supposed to be hosting the BET Awards, but we rarely saw them! It was such a wasted opportunity of two talented comedic actors.

A Smokin’ Tribute: When you have so many iconic songs, it’s pretty daunting to pay tribute to someone like Smokey Robinson. But Tori Kelly, Ne Yo and Robin Thicke were up for the challenge and it made for a performance you couldn’t help but dance along to.

 

Rihanna, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., 2015 BET Awards

Rihanna’s Duct Tape: This is in the worst moment category because we did not get an immediate answer as to why the hell Ri Ri was working a roll of duct tape while sitting in the audience. She apparently ended up duct-taping the hands ofFloyd Mayweather, but Twitter had its own theories.

Try and Walk This Way: Not even the most gorgeous, graceful celeb could maneuver that conveyor belt without looking completely awkward. Who decided to use that thing?! Every time presenters came out we were cringing and wincing, hoping they wouldn’t fall.

Smokey Telling It Like It Is: During his acceptance speech for the BET Lifetime Achievement Award, Smokey Robinson dropped this truthbomb about today’s artists:  “You didn’t start this. You were not the first in line. The line started way, way, way, way, way before your great, great, great grandparents were born. Also, you are not the end of the line. So don’t be so full of yourselves.” And when he sang “Tracks of My Tears” and everyone sang along with him? Goosebumps.

On Your Feet: With an American Flag waving in the background, Kendrick Lamar stood on a spray-painted cop car and got the crowd pumped up with his performance of “Alright.” It was the perfect way to open the show.

 

Janet Jackson, 2015 BET Awards

J-A-N-E-T: Janet Jackson looked so ridiculously gorgeous while accepting the Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual Award, it’s hard to believe she’s pushing 50. And while no one will ever be able to move like Janet, Ciara did a pretty badass job filling in during the tribute performance.

Rihanna’s Underwhelming Preview: Fans were foaming at the mouth when Rihanna said she was previewing her music video for “Bitch Better Have My Money.” Unfortunately, we didn’t see much at all, and barely any of Ri Ri herself. So we were disappointed, but at least we’ll get the full video this week so we don’t have to wait much longer.

What Was This Award For? Oh, Nicki. She wins so many awards that she can’t even keep them all straight! When Nicki Minaj accepted the Viewers Choice Award and started giving a speech, she momentarily had a brain fart and had to ask someone what award she just won.

“Uh, what was this award for? I’m sorry. Oh! Viewers Choice! Oh my god, y’all, thank you,” she said, laughing. “I was in the back! Oh, y’all. My fans. You all know how much I need and want you.”
