Her team members – De’Von Pickett (Deceased) and Eric ParkerShe wrote, ‘#Rp @myfabolouslife – these guys flew into Philly for my tour rehearsals 2 days ago and were both stabbed last night. #RIPDAYDAY condolences to your family. Unbelievable. Eric (on the right) is recovering. Another senseless act of violence that took the life of a great guy. So sad.’ Rapper and producer Fabolous also shared a tribute saying ‘My heart is heavy right now… God opened my eyes this morning at 9:49am. For some reason at that time I woke up thinking about both of these guys. They both work with me, but I couldn’t figure out why they were in my mind at 1st wake up. Wasn’t sure if I had a dream & they were in it or just some wake up & process things type shit.. But at 10:04 my brother hit me & told me that they both were fatally stabbed in Philly last night. My friend @daydaydoesdis (left) died & my friend Eric Parker is in critical condition in the hospital fighting for his life. I am still in shock & don’t want to believe this. And it hurts even more knowing how good these two dudes are. How hard these guys work. And how loyal they are to whoever they are down with & each other. Please send Eric Parker your blessings & a prayer for him to pull thru. And RIP to the fallen soldier Day Day. I can’t even believe I’m saying that with your name attached to it. & I HATE this being a post!! I will miss your energy, your vibe, & you but I’ll hold on to your spirit!! #RIPDayDay #PrayForEricParker’ Our condolences go out to Nicki Minaj and her crew. De’Von Pickett passed away from the injuries and Eric Parker is reportedly in the hospital in critical condition. Photo Credit: Instagram

Pres. Jonathan: I Underestimated Boko Haram | We Will Catch Shekau Before Elections

In a recent interview with ThisDay, President Goodluck Jonathan reportedly admitted that the presidency had underestimated Boko Haram when the terrorist group first emerged. Vanguard culled some excerpts from the interview in which Jonathan is said to have made the following statement: “Probably at the beginning, we, and I mean myself and the team, we underrated the capacity of Boko Haram.” The president further stated that Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, would be caught before the March 28th elections. “God willing, we will catch (Abubakar) Shekau before the elections,” he said. In addition, he said: “We are not saying we must finish Boko Haram to conduct elections, but we should get to a point where they will not cause havoc if they make an attempt… My belief is that by 28th of next month, when the elections will be conducted, Boko Haram may not even be in a position to attack any town, God willing.”
