The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday fixed March 3, 2021, for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to fully comply with orders in the money laundering trial of former minister of petroleum resources Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu fixed the date after EFCC counsel Farouk Abdullah prayed the court for more time to enable the anti-graft agency ensure full compliance with the court orders. “The court made some orders in the last date that this matter came up. The prosecutions has taken steps to ensure that the orders are complied with; that has not come to fruition yet but steps have been taken. “In view of this, may I humbly apply that this matter be adjourned to enable the prosecution comply fully with the order of the court,” Mr Abdullah said. Justice Ojukwu adjourned the matter until March 3, 2021 for report on the prosecution’s effort and for possible arraignment of the former minister. The judge had on October 28 refused to grant the EFCC’s application seeking the court order on the issuance of warrant of arrest against Diezani. Justice Ojukwu held that an affidavit with evidence in support to proof that the earlier court summon granted the agency had failed in the extradition of Diezani must be filed by the commission before another request could be made. The EFCC had accused the former minister of fleeing the country for the UK in order to escape justice.

A Florida woman has been arrested for creating a fake dating profile in an attempt to ruin another woman’s life.
Vanessa Marie Huckaba allegedly created a dating profile saying there was “free meth tonight” at the woman\s home, the New York Post reports. The profile, set up on the website Seeking Arrangement, included the 36-year-old victim’s name, photo, cell phone number, and address. The victim was dating Huckaba’s ex-boyfriend.
“Multiple strangers began arriving at the victim’s residence thereafter,” said Adam Linhardt, a spokesman for the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. Some even sent the woman naked photos of themselves.

Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” has resumed filming after being forced to shut down when a crew member contracted COVID-19 last month.
The production resumed filming, “soon after Thanksgiving,” with new enhanced COVID-19 safety measures, an insider told Page Six.
The ladies will now be “spending more time together outdoors, avoiding crowds and having daily health checks and getting tested regularly,” the source said.
We’re also told the cast and crew have been practicing “enhanced hand hygiene,” and “enhanced sanitization protocols for the equipment,” used at locations where they’re filming.
Meanwhile, leading cast member Kandi Burruss is already apparently putting herself in risky situations: She and her husband, Todd Tucker, were spotted out at a nightclub celebrating family friend Reginae Carter’s 22nd birthday at a maskless gathering on Sunday, we previously reported.
Reps for Burruss and Bravo did not comment on the bash, but Burruss seemed to acknowledge it wasn’t the best decision. “Lord, we ain’t supposed to be outside! Only in Atlanta,” she said in a video posted on Instagram. She later assured her followers that she gets tested “multiple times” per week.

In a new interview for Elle’s special digital holiday edition, Mariah Carey discusses on why Christmas is such an important time for her. The singer, 50 — whose Magical Christmas Special hits Apple TV+ on Friday — described herself as “eternally 12” and said the holiday season is “maybe the one time that I got to breathe for a second.”
“After I kind of emerged from my first relationship-slash-marriage [to Tommy Mottola] I created the Christmases that I wanted to have,” she told the magazine, adding of her troubled childhood: “A lot of very bad stuff happened to me when I was 12. But also, there is the spirit of that kid, that fighter who doesn’t give up, who does embrace who she is, even though the world didn’t understand that from my point of view.”
As for her annual Christmas celebration, she explained: “I literally go to a snowy place. Reindeer are there — I’m not making this up. Santa Claus comes, hangs out with the kids. And by the way, even if I didn’t have kids, I would be doing this.”
“I think it’s just that longing that I had as a child, that I always wanted things to be perfect for the holidays. And they never were,” Carey added to the magazine. “It was always somebody ruining the moment, always these dysfunctional family members who came around and foiled everything. And so I just made a pact with myself that I wasn’t going to allow that to happen anymore.”
With her perennial hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and her new star-studded special, Carey said she hopes to supply some much-needed holiday cheer after a rough 2020.
“It’s been such a hard year, and I really feel like people so need a celebratory moment. At every turn, it’s like, ‘We can’t be [together]; you can’t celebrate. This is canceled; that’s canceled,’ ” she told Elle.
“I came to [the new Christmas special] with the spirit of ‘Let’s make it festive no matter what,’?” Carey said. “If you go into anything with that kind of hopefulness, then it’ll happen.”

A pro-Kremlin television channel is facing backlash for a racist parody of Barack Obama by an actor in blackface.
A Russian TV station has generated outrage over a skit it aired in which an actress donned blackface to play Barack Obama. The caveat to that statement is that most of that outrage seems to be based in America, which is to say it’s unlikely to matter in any way to the actual station.
According to TMZ, the bit ran on a satirical show broadcast by Russia’s NTV channel. In the footage, an actress can be seen wearing gold chains, a red bandana, and black gloves.

Brandon Blackstock is looking for a hefty amount of spousal and child support. The music manager, is seeking $436,000 in monthly spousal and child support after an L.A. County judge granted Clarkson primary physical custody.
The "Break Away" singer, 38, was granted primary physical custody of her two children with estranged husband Brandon Blackstock on Monday, and now People is reporting that the music manager is requesting $436,000 in monthly spousal and child support.
A source told the publication that Blackstock, 43, has “been equally unreasonable in his requests for child and spousal support, as well as attorney fees. Kelly’s offered to pay for all the kids’ expenses, but Brandon seems to think he is entitled to and needs $301,000 in spousal support and $135,000 in child support per month.”
If Blackstock is granted his request, he would pocket more than $5.2 million per year to care for himself, their daughter River Rose, 6, and their son Remington Alexander, 4.
The source continued, “Additionally, he’s already asked for $2 million for attorney fees when he’s the one driving up the cost of the divorce with seven attorneys just representing him alone.”
The “Since U Been Gone” singer first filed for divorce from Blackstock in June after seven years of marriage.
She spoke out about the split on an episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” telling viewers, “My mom has been telling me since I was a kid: You are who you surround yourself with. You want to make sure you’re surrounded by people that also want to be the best versions of themselves and also want a good common goal for everyone, not just themselves, right?”
“People, like, could be bad for you in a certain time. And I think that everybody just goes, ‘Oh, well that means they’re bad.’ Well, it doesn’t necessarily mean that, it just means that you’re on different paths. And I think that that’s OK… Everybody’s on a different learning curve.”

After receiving backlash for coming out as lesbian, South Sudanese supermodel Aweng Ade-Chuol is embracing her sexuality on the January 2021 cover of ELLE UK.
The former refugee, 21, was photographed kissing wife Alexus Ade-Chuol (whom she married at New York City Hall in July) for the striking cover and poses topless with the nail artist entrepreneur inside the issue. The couple slayed matching black-and-white polka dot looks, head-to-toe leather ensembles and straight-leg denim for the shoot.
In the cover story, Aweng speaks about her suicide attempt, mental health and criticism she received from the South Sudan community after getting married.
“That is really baffling to me, and I’m still processing it,” she told ELLE UK of the backlash. “We got married and the whole world, literally the whole of my community, were wishing that I passed, in a way… A few months later, I attempted [suicide]. It was really absurd, because subconsciously I felt I was maybe drained by the fact we’d got married. It’s still a discussion now, like, ‘How dare she marry a woman?'”
The supermodel continued: “You can’t control what people say, and there were tabloids and newspapers back in Sudan… It was a whole thing. For me, it was like, with the political climate that’s going on, you really think that my marriage is the most significant thing in your life right now? It was saddening, because it was the happiest day of my life, and they couldn’t let me enjoy it.”
Aweng opens about the impact of COVID-19 and being in lockdown, explaining that the events of the last few months gave her a “reality check” about the importance of mental health.
“I’ve always been outspoken, and mental health has always been something that I’ve spoken on. But I guess I didn’t experience the other side of it until this year, when lockdown impacted my life directly, actually [put my] life at risk. When that happened, it was a reality check. Before, it was like, mental health is important, but now, it is the most important thing. Where you’re at mentally is the most important foundation.”

For the 3rd installment of “The Message“, Ebro Darden sat down with Tiwa Savage to talk about the #EndSARS protests and the ongoing struggle for a better Nigeria.
Read Tiwa said:
.....................Everyone’s just kind of like regrouping, going back because the #EndSARS was just a catalyst. It was just to bring awareness to bigger pictures. It wasn’t just about ending police brutality, it was about ending injustice, bad governance and just fighting for a better country for us, for our children, and for the future. So it was a great start because it was a peaceful protest, obviously it didn’t end well, but we move, and I think everyone is just regrouping and just figuring out come 2023, we all realize that we all have a voice and we have to use it.

In an interview with Billboard, Cardi gave her thoughts on the response to the Megan Thee Stallion-featuring No. 1 single and her outspoken politics this year, criticizing Republican pundits and explaining she doesn’t want to magnify their audiences.
Cardi said how she helped Candace Owens gain followers. “There’s certain people I want to curse out, but I don’t want to give them clout,” she said. “For example, when me and Candace Owens got into an argument, I gave that bitch 2 million followers.”
As Uproxx referenced, Owens said the Invasion of Privacy artist’s music “contributes to the disintegration of Black culture and values.” She currently has 2.8 million to Cardi’s 14.4M.
