Justin Bieber, at the ripe age of 19, has claimed he's ready to retire from music -- twice in one week. First he told a Los Angeles radio station that his next album <a href='http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20767684,00.html' target='_blank'>would be his last</a>.

By SaharaReporters, New York
Documents obtained by SaharaReporters from a source in the Nigeria Customs Service show categorically that Nigeria has lost well over one trillion Naira in revenue in the last three years alone, the direct result of import concessions or waivers issued by the Ministry of Finance.
Two weeks ago, the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was asked by the House of Representatives Committee on Finance to present a detailed account of just how much money has been lost because of import duty waivers.  The committee wanted to know who has benefitted, what was imported, and most significantly: why these waivers were granted.
The query was one of 50 the committee gave to Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala following her 2014 budget presentation to the National Assembly, which she answered this week.
The committee said in a statement on Thursday it would conduct an exhaustive review of her responses, and probably ask her for more information.  It will also call for memorandum on the state of the economy and the 50 questions from professionals, academics, civil society and all well-meaning Nigerians, to be be followed by a public hearing, before it presents its report on the true state of the economy to the Nigerian people.
The specific question asked of the Minister on waivers, Number 15 on the list, was “how much exactly has been the amount of money lost in government revenue as a result of import duty waivers in 2011, 2012 and 2013?”

Celebrities aren't saying much openly about the anti-gay bill. And sincerely I don't blame them. If you're against it, then it means you're gay, if you're for it, then you're a bigot...but I guess comedian Ali Baba doesn't care what people think of him. He's shared his strong opinions on the new law. And fortunately or unfortunately he's speaking for 95% of Nigerians. See more Tweets after the cut...
