“So I don’t see any basis for increase. However, the review could be done by the right body, you should contact PPPRA; that is the regulatory body as far as petrol pricing is concern.”

50 Cent & The Game Officially End Decade-Long Beef
One of the most notable beefs in the last 12 years of rap was resolved last night at a strip club.
With a visit to Ace of Diamonds in Los Angeles, 50 Cent and The Game formally ended a dispute that had lasted more than a decade. The two hung out at the club, and Game went on stage to make a speech that made the resolution official.
“I fuck with 50,” Game said. “What happened, that shit was 12 years ago. Niggas ain’t on that shit.”
The feud between 50 and Game lasted so long it seemed like it would never end. Game was brought into the rap game as a member of 50’s group G-Unit, and the two made magic on songs like “How We Do” and “Hate It Or Love It,” both highlights from Game’s debut album, The Documentary. But after Game said he didn’t have any issues with Jadakiss or Fat Joe, who 50 was publicly beefing with at the time, the west coast rapper was given the boot. 50 essentially drew a clear line in the sand: if you weren’t fully with him, you were against him, which meant as far as he was concerned, Game was against him.

Let’s Talk Turkey About Turkey By Reuben Abati
I was shocked by the trenchant reaction to my piece on the July 15 attempted coup in Turkey from at least two persons. The piece titled “Nigerians and the Failed Coup in Turkey” (The Guardian, Sunday, July 17) had fetched a mail and direct messages from a concerned Nigerian who objected to my description of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a bad guy- an intolerant, arrogant, temperamental dictator who after July 15 could become even more authoritarian.
The fellow praised Erdogan and spoke glowingly about how well the Turkish economy has fared under his watch. I also got a list of current economic indicators on Turkey sent to me.

Justin Bieber Rejects $5 Million To Perform At Republican Event
Justin Bieber is said to have rejected a concert to the tune of $5 million while the Republican National Convention took place just minutes away.
According to TMZ, the Singer, 22, declined after his manager Scooter Braun allegedly threatened to quit and NBA superstar LeBron James urged him to steer clear.
According to the celebrity gossip publication, a source close to CAA the agency that represents Justin said the hitmaker was asked to perform 45 minutes away from Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena - the setting of the RNC.
While assurances were allegedly made that the performance would be non-political, Justin's manager Scooter Braun is a known supporter of Trump's presidential rival Hillary Clinton, having even hosted a fundraiser for the Democrat candidate at his home in Los Angeles.
It was reported that Braun mentioned to Justin that he should discuss erecting Black Lives Matter signs at the show, but the donors rejected the idea, suggesting All Lives Matter signs instead.

Facebook's COO Endorses Hillary Clinton
Facebook executive chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg has endorsed Hillary Clinton with a message posted on her Facebook site. This is coming just months after the company faced scrutiny for claims of anti-conservative bias in how it curates news.
Sandberg, who wrote about her role as a top woman executive in her book 'Lean In,' said her support for Clinton 'is not because she is a woman. It is because she is the most qualified candidate and she is the leader we need.'
'We need a leader whose policies reflect where we're going, not where we've been. There is still so much to do - on equal pay, on equality in the workplace, on building a society where everyone has the chance to reach his or her potential, regardless of background, gender, race, or sexual orientation,' she wrote.
