I can act nude for $50m – Amanda Ebeye Nollywood actress
Nollywood Actress, Amanda Ebeye has stated that she can act nude in any Nollywood movie if given 7.5billion naira.
In a recent interview with The PUNCH, the ‘Clinic Matters’ star said “I cannot act nude but like I have said before, if you pay me about $50m, I will. Please who is the first to pay? I can shave my hair because I’m an actress. If the role requires it, if it is a beautiful script and the money is good, I will do it. It will not be because it is the trend. It is not because Mercy Johnson did it, so I should, no, that is not enough reason. Right now, the script has to be outstanding for me to be interested in shaving off my hair.”
On growing up, she said “I was a stubborn kid. I was never a tomboy. I don’t know how to bounce or sag for the world but stubborn, fighting for my rights and the rights of others, yes. I always wanted to defend others in need. That’s why often, they used to say I knew how to ‘buy’ other people’s matter. But my friends would say I had and will always have the heart of a child because no matter how much I fight you, I’ll always feel bad and be the first to tell you sorry.”

Facebook sued for allegedly intercepting private messages
Facebook sued for allegedly intercepting private messages
I don't think any social network is safe. Best to have no secrets :)
Just how private are your Facebook messages? A new suit charges that the company mines your messages for profit.
Facebook is facing a class action lawsuit for allegedly violating its members' right to privacy. The social network is being sued by members who claim that the company intercepts private messages, without consent, to mine the data for its own profit.
On Monday, Matthew Campbell and Michael Hurley filed suit against Facebook with the Northern District Court of California. The men accuse Facebook of scanning private messages with URLs in them "for purposes including but not limited to data mining and user profiling." The suit asserts that this practice is a violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
"We believe the allegations are without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement shared with CNET.
The suit, however, cites a report from Swiss security firm High-Tech Bridge that suggests that Facebook scans the links shared in private messages. It also references stories in the media relating to Facebook's third-party plug-ins for counting "likes" shared through private messages.
"Representing to users that the content of Facebook messages is 'private' creates an especially profitable opportunity for Facebook, because users who believe they are communicating on a service free from surveillance are likely to reveal facts about themselves that they would not reveal had they known the content was being monitored," the plaintiffs said in their complaint.
The suit, which is seeking class action status, was brought on behalf of all U.S. users who have sent or received private messages that included a URL in the message. The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction against Facebook to stop the practice of scanning URLs in messages, as well as statutory damages, which includes $100 for each day that Facebook violated the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, per each member of the class.
The complaint is embedded in its entirety below. Open the link to read more!

Reuben Abati says President Jonathan did not travel to Kenya with 7Jets
So if it's not true, what seven jets did this Kenyan lady see? It doesn't make sense to me that she'd lie about something like this, especially during a press conference to Channels TV and AIT. And she seems likes a top Kenyan official. Well, if Reuben Abati says it's not true, let's believe him. See more tweets on Twitter
