By  Forbes   It has never been easier to become insta-famous, but for some celebrities, fame and fortune are perennial. Take Diddy: Nearly two decades after appearing on the cover of the first-ever Celebrity 100 issue, Diddy tops FORBES’ annual ranking of the highest-earning entertainers in the world, banking $130 million pretax in our 12-month scoring period. “I ain’t foolin’ around… I’m building assets,” Diddy claimed to FORBES back in 1999 . Turns out, he was right: The majority of his 2017 total comes from selling one-third of his Sean John clothing line for an estimated $70 million.

Queen B is now taking a b

OBA'S MID-TERM REPORT IN THE SENATE BEHOLD, THE LAWMAKER WHO MAKES AKWA IBOM STAND TALL By Victor Effik Politics sometimes could be an unpredictable pastime. The imperative of zoning of political offices played a cruel one on his gubernatorial project. In 2014, after months of horse trading, his party, the PDP, bowed to the campaigners for the zoning of political offices.
