What could season six of  Scandal  possibly have in store for us?  The latest key art for the show promises that "the balance of power is about to shift," which sounds like it at least partially refers to the US presidential election—the results of which we're still waiting on.  When the show returns in January, we'll learn whether the new president will be Mellie Grant or Francisco Vargas, which will also tell us just how much power Olivia Pope ( Kerry Washington ) is going to continue to have in Washington D.C. Could she be losing her hold on the country's most powerful players when the show finally returns?

Husband said he didn’t love her and her baby. What happened next will leave you speechless!

When I was pregnant with my first son, our lives were finally settled. We bought a big house, two cars… We apparently lived happily. But shortly before my baby was born, my husband and I had a conversation after which my idyllic card castle collapsed. He said “I’m only staying with you for the baby. I don’t love you anymore”. I felt shocked. Naturally, I tried to think straight. I forgave my husband thinking about my son’s sake. Or at least that what I said to myself. But my sake was far from peace – I was afraid my husband would leave us. My son was born a Friday of July. He was so beautiful and innocent. He didn’t have any idea about what was happening in my world. A month later, I found the reason behind all. During five years my husband had a lover and had found another one while I was pregnant. This discovery forced me to quit my “happy family” dream, and I left the house with my son. The baby and I ended up in a rented apartment. Depression was consuming me. The anger, fear, pain

president Olusegun Obasanjo says President Buhari should stop complaining and fix the mess[/caption] Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari for dwelling too much on the past and failing to turn around the fortunes of the country.

Lagos cancels environmental monthly sanitation; gives reason

The state used to engage in a three-hour sanitation on the last Saturday of the month but this was terminated on Wednesday, November 23 Executive Council meeting which approved the need for a robust review of the environmental laws and procedures in the state in order to meet the present day challenges and to promote a clean and healthy environment. In a statement by Steve Ayorinde who is the state commissioner for information and strategy, he said the state realised that it was economically unreasonable to prevent people in a mega city from going about their business.
