Diezani Family reveals 12 startling facts in ex-minister's defence

The Madueke family avers without any fear of contradiction that 11711 Scooter Lane (a three bedroom town house) in Fairfax, Virginia, was acquired by the Madueke family in 1997 when Ugonna was only 10 years old.

A press statement allegedly released by Diezani’s family, was obtained from Ladun Liadi. The statement reads: The Truth Versus The Media Hysteria Against The Madueke Family 1. In this era of cyber terrorism, decency dictates that one should response to false and defamatory allegations with silence. But there is a limit to how much any reasonable person can bear the tactics of these cyber terrorists. We all know that what makes a lie fly is the little truth contained therein. This happens to be the weapon used by most online news media to feed their weird obsession with defaming highly placed people. Continue below... 2. The Madueke family is appalled at the ongoing media frenzy against Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke by a section of the mass media following an invitation to her by the British authorities last Friday for reasons which have yet to be disclosed. For the avoidance of doubt, the family would like to state categorically that it has no issues with any persons from the family being invited anywhere in the world to answer questions about their private or official conduct. The Madueke family believes in law and order, honour and due process. 3. However, it is clear that here is a deliberate and vicious campaign to demonise members of the Madueke family, with all manner of frivolous allegations. For example, an online news media gleefully published that Mr. Ugonna Madueke “owns at least three properties in the United States.” It even called the properties “POSH” and went on to state the addresses. THEY LIED. 4. Mr. Ugonna Madueke has NO PROPERTY ANY WHERE in the United States and has NEVER OWNED ONE. The USA is a country which runs on transparency, accountability and technology. A little honest effort by the online news media would have provided in a few minutes the true ownership of the properties at issue. 5. For historical accuracy, the Madueke family avers without any fear of contradiction that 11711 Scooter Lane (a three bedroom town house) in Fairfax, Virginia, was acquired by the Madueke family in 1997 when Ugonna was only 10 years old. Ugonna’s siblings lived in this property while attending George Mason University in Virginia, USA. Records available to the appropriate authorities in the United States can also show that 13116 Silver Maple Court in Bowie, Maryland, USA belongs to an uncle of the Madueke siblings and was purchased in 1995 when Ugonna was only 8 years old. As a student of the University of Maryland in 2002, Ugonna stayed with his uncle at the said address. All of this was before Mrs. Diezani was appointed to government office. No Madueke or a distant relation has anything to do with the ownership of No. 4227 Summit Manor Court in Virginia. 6. It is evident that what the online news media did was to turn on an internet search engine and maliciously reported that every property where Ugonna Madueke has ever lived in the United States or used as his address must belong to him. The description of the properties as POSH was the icing on the propaganda cake. This is not only unprofessional, as it offends the tenets of journalism, it is clearly not in resonance with good conscience. 7. The online news media also reported that Ugonna and his cousins registered a company by name Hadley Petroleum Solutions Limited which they have been using to deal in Nigerian crude oil sales. As young men bubbling with enthusiasm and fantasy, they registered a company but after two years of no jobs, the company folded up. The company never had a bank account, let alone being a trader of Nigeria’s crude oil. They lied. 8. The online news media took its campaign to the in-laws of the Maduekes. It claimed that Mrs. Beatrice Agama, the 81 year old mother of Mrs. Diezani Madueke, owns a house in the United Kingdom. A LIE! Mrs. Agama has no house or property in the United Kingdom. She has been staying in a rented two-bedroom flat from where she is receiving medical attention for a broken femur. Her son, Timi Agama who has been living in the UK for decades, used to have a house in the UK long before his sister was appointed to government and he sold it long ago. Since then, he has no house in the UK. Archbishop Doye Agama of the Apostolic Pastoral Congress in Manchester, who is in his 60s, is a successful professional and consultant well known amongst his peers, but he does not own Unit 8 Quebec Building in Manchester which the online newspaper ascribed to him. 9. As though to outdo the sensational allegations in the online publication, the mainstream media in Nigeria has been alleging that Mrs. Diezani attempted to purchase a property on Hyde Park Street in London for a whooping amount which embarrassingly ranges from 12.5 million sterling pounds to 13 billion sterling pounds. This claim is utterly false and laughable, for the amounts mentioned are only in the imagination of the reporters. This property is quite popular. It belongs to a well-known eminently successful Nigerian entrepreneur who would also find this allegation embarrassing as the intention to sell the property has neither been contemplated nor disclosed to any person. 10. It is worthy to note that despite all the frenzy over Mrs. Diezani Madueke, not even one reporter or journalist has tried to contact the family to verify any of the rumors they have published with reckless abandon. This may be because they know the stories are false but it feeds the mood of the moment. Hence, the silence from Diezani all along. It is worth emphasising that Mrs Alison-Madueke was never arrested or detained and her passport was never seized. She was merely invited, and she honoured it promptly. 11. The Madueke family, like most other families, have their own challenges. For instance, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke has been receiving treatment for cancer in the UK which started while she was in office. The health crisis has unfortunately exacerbated in recent times. She completed months of chemotherapy just last week and she is scheduled to undergo surgery next week in London. The family has been bearing this challenge with prayers and as much grace and fortitude as possible; and would plead with all reasonable Nigerians to pray for her recovery so that she can face this allegation and give account of her stewardship. Yes, she can—and very well, too. 12. The Madueke and Agama families would want the decent public to know that neither Ugonna nor Somze or Abiye or anyone related to the two families was picked up or arrested or invited for questioning by anybody whatsoever. Ugonna’s father (the Rear Admiral) has been in Lagos and working in his office. The lies about his having travelled with a team of lawyers should please stop. The Madueke family has taken a decision on how to appropriately deal with those who are on a mission to soil their hard earned family name. Signed for and on behalf of the Madueke and Agama families.

Diezani ;Former petroleum minister banned from leaving UK till 2016

The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, is aimed at disrupting criminality, and hindering criminals, access to their funds It looks like it is going to be a long holiday for Diezani Alison-Madueke in the United Kingdom. Reports say Diezani will remain in the UK, until April 2016, when all investigations into her case, will be concluded.

She will only be allowed to leave the country, after an application on her case, has been approved by a court of law. play The court, in-line with the UK Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, approved the detention of the £27,000 seized from her apartment. The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, is aimed at disrupting criminality, and hindering criminals, access to their funds.

In UK ; ‘Diezani will undergo cancer surgery next week,’ Lawyer

The former minister was arrested in London by the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA) last week. Reports say Oscar Onwudiwe, the lawyer to embattled former petroleum minister, Dezani Alison-Madueke, issued a statement on her health crisis. He revealed that the ex-minister has been battling with Cancer. An excerpt of the statement obtained SaharaReporters reads “The health crisis has unfortunately exacerbated in recent times.”

Ciara Responded To Haters Who Think She Cursed Russell Wilson

Seattle Seahawks fans were so pissed their team started the NFL season by losing two back-to-back games, they didn’t know who to blame. So, some of them aimed their rage at a person who’s on the field zero percent of the time: Ciara, whose boyfriend, Russell Wilson, happens to be the team’s quarterback. But none of this bothered CiCi. “It comes with territory,” the singer told Rolling Stone. “I think that this is a job; I wake up every day doing exactly what I love and what I dreamed of. So the best thing to do is focus on that. You also realize when people say negative things about you [that] you’re still living your dream. When people say those types of comments, you know, that’s silly. It’s clearly silly.” There you go, silly haters. This isn’t the first time Ciara’s “curse” has been discussed. Back in 2013, Charlamagne spoke about it too. “There’s a curse of Ciara,” he said at the time. “Everybody she’s ever dealt with has gone ice cold…That curse of Ciara is real.” Thankfully, the Seahawks have won their last two games and are now 2-2, so the fuss has died down a bit. Still, Ciara isn’t alone here. Drake dealt with a similar situation when fans said he cursed Serena Williams. Before that, Dallas Cowboys fans said Jessica Simpson hexed Tony Romo. And some folks even said Rihanna cursed NBA star J.R. Smith. Ciara’s aware of all that and more. “It’s happened to people in our world, it’s not a new thing when people say things,” she added. “I choose to focus on the positive and focus on the cool things that are truly happening. That’s how I live my life, and I have to say life is good. Clearly those things don’t make any sense.”

Rick Ross On 50 Cent: ‘Get Rich Or Die Trying…Now You Bankrupt’

And he compares the Drake/Meek beef to his 50 Cent feud

You know how some people are doubting whether Mill can come back after seemingly losing the Drizzy battle? Well, Rozay faced similar doubts during his own beef with 50 Cent (which is kind of ongoing), but these days, he feels like he’s winning. So, the MMG boss isn’t worried about how people perceive Mill right now. “Get rich or die tryin’ and now you bankrupt,” the Maybach boss said. “You could come back here tomorrow and explain it and say, ’I’m doing this. I’m doing that.’ Stop. There’s holes in your roof, fam.” But Rozay maintained that their feud isn’t personal and even encouraged Fif to get money, something he says he was able to do after their feud exploded. You might recall 50 clowned Rozay in a ton of ways: the “Pimpin’ Curly” disses, the “Officer Ricky” taunts. But it all only acted as fuel, according to Ross. 50 Cent Responds To Rick Ross With ‘Officer Ricky’ Track “That’s what drove me as an artist,” he explained. “As an artist, sometimes that’s what it may take to drive you and take you to the next level…It may take some type of challenge or motivation.” As for Meek? Rozay’s confident Mill he’ll have the same type of end result, noting that DC4 is on its way and that the Philly MMG star has “phenomenal” music coming.

$6.6bn oil deal: Diezani’s ally, Omokore quizzed, released

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has quizzed an ally of former Petroleum Resources Minister, Mrs Diezani Alison-Mudueke, Jide Omokore. Alison-Mudueke was arrested by Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) last week and has since been charged with money laundering and bribery. The former minister is also facing graft allegations.. Omokore, co-chairman of local oil firm, Atlantic Energy, was invited for questioning over corruption and money laundering charges on Monday and was subsequently released.. An EFCC source said he was merely questioned over an ongoing investigation in connection with a crackdown on corruption in the oil sector that has swept up Alison-Maduekeand members of her family in London. The financial crimes unit has reportedly sealed one of her houses in Abuja as part of the probe, security sources said. “He is being interrogated,” a security official, who did not want to be identified, told Reuters. He gave no further details. Atlantic Energy was one of two firms that signed so-called Strategic Alliance Agreements with NNPC’s upstream arm, NPDC, in May 2011 to manage oil blocks sold by oil major, Royal Dutch Shell. The deals, which at the time had a combined value of $6.6 billion was a subject of criticism as it was alleged that it was subject to no bidding process. Nigeria’s oil sector has been under the spotlight since the arrest of former Petroleum Minister, Mrs Alison-Madueke, in London on Friday. She was arrested by the National Crime Agency and has been charged with money laundering. During her time, the then Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who is now the Emir of Kano, alleged misappropriation of $20 billion oil money. Omokore is believed to be one of the biggest allies of the former Petroleum Minister. Recently, President Muhammadu Buhari vowed to trace and recover “mind boggling” sums that have been stolen from the oil sector. He also promised to prosecute those behind the theft.

Nicki Minaj Finally Clarifies Her Position In The Drake And Meek Feud

You’ve gotta respect the fact that Nicki Minaj is all about her business. It feels like the world could be crumbling around her and Nicki would not bat an eyelash, or publicly let on that anything was wrong. This year, we watched the men in her inner circle fall out with each other — Drake vs. Meek Mill and Lil Wayne vs. Birdman — and the Queens rapper kept a neutral stance in both situations. In her new cover feature for The New York Times Magazine, she finally addresses the feuds, and reminds us that these guys can deal with their own sh-t. “They’re men, grown-ass men,” she said, when asked how she felt about Meek and Drake publicly beefing, for example. “It’s between them.” Sure, she has feelings about it… “I hate it. It doesn’t make me feel good. You don’t ever want to choose sides between people you love. It’s ridiculous. I just want it to be over.” But, trying to insinuate that she “thrives on drama,” like the writer did, really sets her off.

“That’s disrespectful,” Nicki snapped back. “Why would a grown-ass woman thrive off drama? What do the four men you just named have to do with me thriving off drama? Why would you even say that? That’s so peculiar. Four grown-ass men are having issues between themselves, and you’re asking me do I thrive off drama?” The writer clearly struck a nerve, and it was too late for an apology. “That’s the typical thing that women do. What did you putting me down right there do for you?” she continued. “Women blame women for things that have nothing to do with them. I really want to know why — as a matter of fact, I don’t. Can we move on, do you have anything else to ask? “To put down a woman for something that men do, as if they’re children and I’m responsible, has nothing to do with you asking stupid questions, because you know that’s not just a stupid question. That’s a premeditated thing you just did.” When she got to the point of saying, “Do not speak to me like I’m stupid or beneath you in any way,” the interview was clearly over.

Stolen funds recovery: Buhari lauds Britain, Switzerland, others

President Muhammadu Buhari has applauded the support from Britain and Switzerland for the recovery and repatriation of public funds stolen from Nigeria. He said British, Swiss and other foreign anti-crime agencies had given his administration much help with relevant information and intelligence on public funds that were stolen and illegally transferred to personal bank accounts by of- ficials of past administrations. He made the disclosure at separate audiences with the new British and Swiss ambassadors, who were at the Presidential Villa to present their letters of credence. Buhari, however, called for the speeding up of the processes of investigation, prosecution and repatriation of Nigerian funds stolen by corrupt public officials and their accomplices. “Switzerland and Britain have been very helpful indeed in the recovery of our assets. But we must build on what we have started. “It is also important to send a signal to the elite that it is no longer business as usual. I personally appreciate the efforts of Prime Minister David Cameron on this issue. “He has honoured his commitments to us. He promised to support our government to build a strong and dynamic economy and he has been faithful to his word,” he told the British High Commissioner, Mr. Paul Arkwright. Arkwright assured Buhari of Britain’s preparedness to give Nigeria the fullest possible support and assistance in the recovery of its looted resources. “We are most ready to help. We have a good team at the National Crime Agency (NCA) working with your Economic and Financial Crimes Com- mission. Tell us where and how we can help and we will provide the assistance.” Buhari responded: “I am very pleased and we will get our Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work with you to ensure that all the stolen funds are re- turned safely to government coffers as quickly as possible.” The Special Adviser o‎ n Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina‎ later, in a statement said, President Buhari also received the letters of credence of the Ambassador of the State of Palestine, Mr. Saleh Fhied Saleh, the Ambassador of Myanmar, Mr. Tha Aung Nyun and the Ambassador of Slovakia, Mr. Peter Holasek.

Is dis beef? Or Wah? Between Ycee ND SpecialSpesh

Ibrahim Shekarau; 'Buhari is romancing with people who destroyed Nigeria'

Former Education Minister, Ibrahim Shekarau believes PMB is still surrounded by the same people who destroyed Nigeria.

Former Minister of Education and All Nigeria Peoples Party presidential candidate, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, is the latest top politician to condemn President Muhammadu Buhari for allegedly bringing back politicians who destroyed Nigeria for the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rule. Shekarau, who vented his disappointment over Buhari hobnobbing with men he feels brought Nigeria to this present state, particularly mentioned the likes of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who, according to him, ruled the country for eight of PDP’s 16 years of administering Nigeria. “Buhari has said that he has come to right the wrongs of 16-year mess by the PDP. So, I said, ‘Mr. President you are welcome, but reminded that 10 of those 16 years belong to ex-President Obasanjo. He had his eight years and by indirect remote control, two years of late President Umaru Yar’Adua was Obasanjo’s. And Obasanjo was the one who produced Yar’Adua and Jonathan. Until three years ago when they fell out (Obasanjo and Jonathan), Obasanjo was in charge. Obasanjo today belongs to those who are chief advisers to President Muhammadu Buhari. Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai, was one of the major hit men of Obasanjo, my former governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, was one of the boys of Obasanjo as well as former Governors Bukola Saraki, Goje and all the rest of them. They were part of those 16 years which President Buhari was saying that PDP messed up Nigeria, and today because they are APC, they are saints. They are now surrounding the President as his chief advisers. The Amaechis are all part of the PDP. All the election crisis that President Buhari was accusing PDP of perpetrating were a creation of these people, the same who are with him now. So what sense does it make that I said you are thief for 16 years, I have come to correct the wrongs that you did and now I am calling you the chief adviser in order to right the wrongs that you committed. Does it make sense? We are waiting to see how they will come out of this.”

Ghanaian National & NNPC Staff Member Among ‘Persons of Interest’ in Diezani Money Laundering Investigations

British National Crime Agency (NCA) has invited some ‘persons of interest’ to assist them with their investigations in the bribery, corruption and money laundering allegations being leveled against former petroleum resources minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke. According to ThisDay, those who have been invited include “a UK-based real estate agent; Chairman/CEO of Aiteo Oil and Gas, Benedict Peters; the husband of Melanie Spencer, from whom £10,000 was confiscated last week when the NCA arrested the former minister; and one Kevin Okyere, a Ghanaian national.” Other named persons of interest include Kola Aluko; a staff of the London office of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Joe Mordi; the former minister’s London-based driver; another London-based driver/butler; and one of the co-founders of oil and gas trading firm Tridax Energy, Donald Chidi Amamgbo. The identities of the rest of the persons of interest are yet to be revealed. Sources state although the “persons of interest” were not being charged with any crime, the authorities are inviting them to help them with their investigations. The publication further states “investigations on the former minister were commenced in 2013 by the British authorities under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) and transferred to it earlier this year.”

Tension over murder of MC Oluomo’s aide..CONT

He alleged that one IK, who was an aide of the slain leader, led the squad that killed Mamok as a reprisal for his boss’ death.

He said, “MC Oluomo and Esi-Oluwo were rivals for the leadership of the NURTW in Oshodi. Both men also supported the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party, respectively, prior to the general elections.

“But Tinubu (a former Lagos governor) mediated in the fight. Some days after, Esi-Oluwo was killed and Mamok was fingered as the culprit.

“IK was born and raised in Mamok’s family house on Mosaku Street. He worked with Esi-Oluwo. After the man was killed, IK took over from him and became the strong man of the group.

“I saw him patrolling the street throughout yesterday and I was wondering what he was looking for. I never knew he was actually monitoring Mamok’s movements.”

The suspect was said to have fled the area after the incident.

PUNCH Metro was told that friends of the victim had started threatening reprisals and arsons, but the intervention of Oluomo had kept the situation under control.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Joe Offor, promised to get back to our correspondent but had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

Tension over murder of MC Oluomo’s aide

Tension engulfed Oshodi, Lagos State, on Thursday, after Olayinka Mamowora, aka Mamok, a close aide of the Oshodi chapter chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, was killed.

Mamok was also said to be a former bodyguard of a former Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Our correspondent, who visited the community, observed as some men gathered around the NURTW secretariat on Oshodi Road, drinking alcoholic beverages.

Residents said the men were angry at the death of Mamok and could unleash mayhem if the situation was not well managed.

It was gathered that 43-year-old Mamok had just returned from the United Kingdom where his family resided.

He was said to have gone to Mosaku Street to cut his hair on Wednesday when three gunmen, dressed in black, entered the salon and shot him.

His relatives and some residents, who spoke with PUNCH Metro, said he was killed after a bullet hit him in the head.

A witness, who asked not to be named, said the incident happened around 8pm.

He said, “Mamok had just returned from the United Kingdom where his wife and children live. He was initially at the NURTW secretariat with MC Oluomo. Later, he called a family friend on Mosaku Street that he was coming to cut his hair in his salon.

“He went there with another friend, who did not enter the salon. He was cutting the hair when three guys, who wore black shirts, came into the salon and opened fire on him.

“He struggled with them for some time, but they overpowered him. They rained bullets on him. One of them shot him in the head and he slumped.”

A resident, John, said the victim was dragged out by his assailants, who dumped his corpse on his car, which was parked a few metres away.

He said the killers left with only Mamok’s gold chain, but did not steal the money on him.

“It was possible that the pistol was equipped with a silencing device because nobody heard any gunshot and knew there was a struggle between him and those people.

“After they shot him dead, they dragged him out and put his corpse on his car. They didn’t touch the money on him; they only took away the gold chain he had on. It was while they were leaving that they started shooting into the air and people started running helter-skelter,” he added.

A female friend of the victim, who did not identify herself, said the barber, Bayo, instead of raising the alarm, fled the scene.

“I don’t see any reason why he would run away when he did not have a hand in the murder. He mopped the blood in his salon, shut the door and ran away,” she said.

It was learnt that Mamok’s friend, who saw the assailants struggled with him, alerted Oluomo to the development.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Oluomo informed policemen from the Akinpelu division and they all arrived together at the scene of the incident.

“Oluomo and the police came into the street later after the killers had gone. The police broke the salon door and took the mop that Bayo used to clean the blood. They picked spent bullets from the salon,” he said.

Our correspondent was told that three police vans were parked on the street that night to forestall the breakdown of law and order.

A relative, who did not give her name, said the deceased’s corpse had been deposited in a morgue, while his blood-stained car was taken to the station.

“The police took the corpse to the morgue and took the car to the station. Some family members have started arriving from the family’s hometown in Ijebu,” she added.

Our correspondent observed an Armoured Personnel Carrier on the street on Thursday, while many shops were locked.

The house where the barbing salon was located, was also locked.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Mamok was killed by a gang loyal to a slain factional leader of the NURTW, Olayemi Eniola, aka Esi-Oluwo.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Mamok was killed because he was suspected to have fired the shot that killed Esi-Oluwo.

My new song, ‘Somebody Great’, a prophesy – Korede Bello

God Win crooner, Korede Bello, has said his new song, ‘Somebody Great’, is a prophesy to inspire people to greatness.

Bello told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Friday that he wrote the song to make people visualise success in their minds and then work hard to achieve it.

The new song currently enjoys massive airplay on radio just like the first single, entitled ‘God Win’.

The musician said, “(It’s) about the people, how we were born into this world and we don’t know how the journey will go and how one’s love will take us from nobody to somebody.

”How I, one day, hope that my voice would unite people and stop bombing and fighting and tribulations.

“That my voice will command authority; it’s not just me, it’s about alleviating people from oppression and mental poverty.

“You can be somebody great, from nobody to somebody; you can be anything you want to be: have love for God, love for people, one love.

“But also one of the reasons why I wrote that song is for people to see themselves as great; because before you can be somebody great, you need to first see it in your mind and you need to prophesy it to yourself, you need to say it to yourself.

“And I guess, those are one of the privileges of being a musician because you can put things out there in a melodic form that can change people’s lives forever.

“The song is more like a prophesy to everybody that listens to it to be able to command authority; command respect and most of all, have mental wealth.”

Vin Diesel Wants To Honor Paul Walker’s Wishes With This ‘Furious 8′ Decision

Vin Diesel is opening up about the next installment of the “Fast & Furious” franchise — and longtime fans are going to be very excited about what Vin has to say.

In response to recent reports that expressed Universal’s concern that the actor might nominate himself to fill the anticipated film’s directorial void, Diesel set the record straight. He has a different vision for the direction of the franchise — one that he believes only director Rob Cohen, who directed the original “Fast and the Furious,” can bring to life.

“There has always been the desire by Paul [Walker] to have Rob [Cohen] direct one more, this is what fueled my campaign,” Diesel wrote in a Facebook post. “I believe that he can and would reset the franchise nicely, returning to what was the core of the film in the beginning… racing.”

In recent installments of the franchise, Dom and his crew have taken on bigger, badder adventures. Starting with the 2011 caper “Fast Five,” which introduced Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to the franchise, the “Fast & Furious” films have increasingly defied logic and expectations, turning the series into a full-blow action franchise. It sounds like Diesel might want to bring “Furious 8″ back to the franchise’s street racing roots. 

Not to mention, given Walker’s untimely passing two years ago, Diesel feels that Cohen “would also handle the Brian O’connor [sic] issue with integrity, given that he and David Ayer were the ones who initially created that beloved character in the first place.”

With just a little more than 16 months to go until the release of the eighth “Fast & Furious” movie, Diesel says they’re still working on the script, which he hopes to have firmed up before he starts his “Last Witch Hunter” press tour later this month.

For Diesel, his main priority is honoring Walker’s legacy. Shortly after the release of “Furious 7,” which broke records and hearts around the world, Diesel told MTV News, “Paul used to say that [’Fast & Furious’] 8 was guaranteed and, in some ways, when your brother guarantees something, you have to make sure it comes to pass… ’Furious 7′ was for Paul; 8 is from Paul.”

The “Fast and Furious” franchise may be know for its fancy cars and death-defying stunts, but we think it’s time to bring the franchise back home to its street-racing familia. And if Cohen isn’t down to return to the streets, Diesel might just sit in that director’s chair himself — that is, if his mom has anything to say about it.

“I will share something crazy that my mother said six months ago after the studio had me announce the date for 8 to the world,” he wrote on Facebook. “’Either you direct 8 yourself… or don’t do it.'”

Man successfully buys ‘Google.com’ for one minute, becomes Internet hero

Could you imagine owning the domain of the most popular website on the planet – even just for a minute?

This week, Babson University student Sanmay Ved became the luckiest guy in the Internet after he was able to successfully purchase Google.com for just $1

In a blog post on his LinkedIn page, Ved explained that he was playing with Google Domains – the tech giant’s domain registration service – when he discovered Google.com was listed as available for purchase.

“I clicked the add to cart icon beside the domain (which should not appear if the domain is not available for sale). The domain actually got added to my cart as seen by the green check-box, and the domain appeared in my cart,” Ved wrote.

“I was hoping I would get an error at some time saying transaction did not go through, but I was able to complete purchase, and my credit card was actually charged!”

To his surprise, Google.com began showing up in notifications in his Google Webmaster Tools, proving that he did in fact own one of the most iconic web domains in the world.

But, sadly, it didn’t last very long. Within a minute he received an email from Google Domains stating that his purchase had been cancelled.

Ved added that the error allowing him to purchase the domain has been fixed. He also alerted Google security to the incident.

According to Mashable, large websites like Google usually automatically renew their domains to prevent these things from happening, which may point towards a bug in Google Domains being at fault for the incident.

Google isn’t the first big tech firm to have domain issues.

In 2003, Microsoft forgot to renew its Hotmail.co.uk domain allowing one lucky web user to purchase it. It took a few days for the company to get the domain back.
