Senator Ben Murray-Bruce took to his Twitter page today to lament over the economic situation in Nigeria, saying that more attention is paid on anticorruption, while ongoing economic problem seems to be unnoticed.

"I appreciate the anticorruption war, but I wish our media also carry headlines of economic progress instead of incessant arrests by DSS/EFCC. We are fixated on anticorruption and dont notice what's going on with our economy. Per @Bloomberg, In 1 week @AlikoDangote lost $3.7 billion.

The only business booming in Nigeria today is the business of arresting and detaining. I wouldn't mind if we are arresting economic decline!



President Obasanjo fought corruption, yet he also grew the economy. And he did this with oil at $15 per barrel. Low oil price is no excuse,"he said.

A newly surfaced police report related to a 2003 raid on Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch shows the late pop star’s penchant for pornography and attraction to children.
Jackson was acquitted in 2005 of child molestation following a 14-week trial, and the report published on Tuesday by the celebrity and gossip website Radar Online was related to evidence submitted in that case.

The police report states that though the documents were not considered illegal, “this type of material can be used as part of a ‘grooming’ process by which people (those seeking to molest children) are able to lower the inhibitions of their intended victims and facilitate the molestation of said victims.”
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department said it had not publicly released the documents,
