I received this kind email this morning.  Apparently the Nigerian government will sent me $5 million dollars to 'compensate' me.  I'm impressed!  Normally Nigerian governments are not good at giving money to any their than their family and friends.  Jolly nice of Femi to offer.  I wonder how he knew...

Staying with reality, I usually head for the front page of the daily papers to see what lies is being shared between them all.  The only aper to ever go its own way is the 'Daily Star.'  This paper is not aimed at the chattering classes, the 'Star' aims for those who find the 'Sun' has too many big words.  Recently I note how many times they place a 'funny' in amongst the headline, often worth a look, even if it does not change the world. 
Today the front page is exceptional!  The paper has gone full 'Daily Sport!' 
I doubt whether there has been serious journalism involved in this story, possibly the 'workies' have been employed on this one, however it makes a change from the lies in all the other right wing gangs offering.
