Re-elected Governor of Bauchi State, Mallam Isa Yuguda, yesterday dedicated the Certificate of Return presented to him by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to the corps members who were killed during the post presidential election violence in the state. Yuguda made the dedication soon after he received the certificate along with other winners of the April general election from the INEC commissioner in charge of Bauchi, Yobe and Borno States, retired Colonel Mohammed Hamagan at the Development Exchange Centre (DEC) in Bauchi. Governor Yuguda described the slain corps members as heroes of democracy whose legacies must be kept alive, and commiserated with the parents of the 10 corpers assuring that all suspects arrested in connection with the killings would be prosecuted.
dailymail.co.uk : After years of struggling with his sexuality, Chaz Bono finally opened up about his transition from male to female on the Oprah Winfrey show today.
The 42-year-old, who was born the daughter of singer and actress Cher and the late Sonny Bono, was christened Chastity, and spotted regularly – all blonde locks and cutesy smile – on the couple’s TV show in the 70s.
But in a moving interview, Bono told Winfrey that he felt his body was ‘literally betraying’ him when he went through puberty, as he watched in horror as it changed shape from athletic to curvy.
However he paid tribute to his 64-year-old mother by admitting: ‘There’s no doubt about her love for me.’
‘It was just horrifying to me,” Bono said. ‘You have this image of yourself and all of a sudden your body does the exact opposite of what you feel.’
