Bruce Jenner has reportedly Undergone Breast Implant Surgery (Photos)

Bruce Jenner has reportedly undergone breast implant surgery. RadarOnline.com today claimed the reality star had silicone implants put in earlier this month.

An insider reportedly told them:

'Bruce had silicone breast implants put in a few weeks ago. He went with a smaller implant because he didn't want to look ridiculous.'

However, when MailOnline asked his representative about the report, he replied: 'No comment'.

The 65-year-old former Olympian has yet to officially confirm his transformation, but in recent months has been gradually changing his appearance to a more feminine form. As well as growing his hair out and painting his nails, Bruce has already undergone a laryngeal shave procedure to flatten out his Adam's Apple, and has reportedly had rhinoplasty to sculpt his nose into a more feminine shape.

'Recovery hasn’t been that difficult, but Bruce has had to sleep in a recliner to help with the healing,' the source continued.

'He’s not allowed to lift anything, and he has to wear a bra 24/7, but he’s expected to resume normal activities in the next six weeks. He has been emotional, but finally feels like this is the body he has meant to have,' they added.

The report claims Bruce's next step is full gender reassignment surgery, while he may also have further breast augmentation to gradually increase his cup size.

Five Reasons Why Goodluck Jonathan Lost To Gen Muhammadu Buhari -- BBC

Nigerians are so used to the idea that an incumbent should win presidential elections that President Goodluck Jonathan's failure to beat Gen Muhammadu Buhari needs some explaining. Here are five reasons why the opposition won:

1: Harder to rig

Past elections have been marred by serious irregularities and suspicions of rigging. In 2007 observers said the presidential poll was not "credible". In 2011 the vote was considered to be better run but observers said that rigging and fraud still took place.
This time the electoral commission took more steps to prevent rigging, including new biometric voters cards.
Also President Jonathan's party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP), had lost control of some key states which meant it could not control the electoral process there.

2: Boko Haram and security

The Nigerian army has made some recent gains against Boko Haram, but not enough to convince Nigerians

The election took place against the background of an Islamist insurgency in the north-east of the country. The Boko Haram militant group has killed 20,000 people and forced some three million others from their homes and President Jonathan was criticised for not getting to grips with this.
The poll was delayed for six weeks to give time for the security situation to improve, but even though most areas controlled by Boko Haram were recaptured, it seems to have come too late for many people.

3: United opposition, crumbling PDP

The extra six weeks of vigorous campaigning by the PDP was not enough to halt the slide in the party's fortunes

The PDP has been described as an election-winning machine. When it was created it united a northern elite with leading politicians from the south, but that alliance has broken up and the party lost some key figures. Even former President Olusegun Obasanjo came out against Mr Jonathan.
At the same time, the opposition managed to unite under the All Progressives Congress (APC) banner. The last six weeks of desperate and dirty campaigning, in which the APC responded in kind, was not enough to turn the tide.

4: Economy

Nigeria's economy is growing but the wealth is not being spread around

Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer and its largest economy, but many fail to feel the benefits with nearly half the population living below the poverty line. Continued corruption is seen as partly being to blame.
National income is due to grow by more than 5% this year and next year, but people did not seem in the mood to thank Mr Jonathan for this.

5: Time for a change

APC supporters chanted "change" wherever they went and it seems to have caught the mood. The PDP has been in power since the end of military rule in 1999, and 2015 is the year that Nigerians decided that someone else should have a go at sorting things out.
President-elect Buhari now has to prove he really can change things.

President Jonathan's First Photo Appearance Since after the Elections

The Peace Accord Committee has congratulated President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat and congratulating his opponent, the All Progressives Congress’s candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.

According to PremiumTimes, the chairman of the committee and former Head of State, Abdusalami Abubakar, who spoke to journalists after a closed-door meeting with the President, said the committee was spellbound when Mr. Buhari informed them that Mr. Jonathan had called to congratulate him.

“We were at the middle of a meeting with the international observers to try to see how we can still water the tension down, when gladly I called Gen. Buhari that we are going to see him,” Mr. Abubakar said. “He told me that Mr. President has called him at about 5:15 p.m. and congratulated him and conceded defeat.

“We were spellbound and the reason we have come here is to thank President Jonathan for this statesmanship. In the history of Nigeria, I think this is the first time where a contestant has called his rival to congratulate him and through this point, President Jonathan maintained a point that the blood of Nigerians is not worth his presidency and by his action he has proved that.

He has proved that he is a man of his word‎ because during our interaction on this peace committee he has always maintained that he is going to accept the result of the elections whichever way it is done. And he has proved this.”

Atiku Abubakar congratulates Gen. Buhari on his victory

The former Vice President wrote a congratulatory message to Buhari which he shared on Facebook. See it below...

My hearty congratulations to His Excellency, General Muhammadu Buhari, for being elected the next president of our beloved county, Nigeria. You have led our party, the All Progressives Congress to an unprecedented victory within two years of it’s official formation, and in so doing, written the most important chapter of our democracy.

The great Nnamdi Azikiwe once wrote that “history will continue to vindicate the just”. Your victory in the polls, with votes from across the length and breadth of our country, bears witness to the acceptance of not just our party, the APC, but also your ideology of justice, fair play and zero tolerance for corruption as the bedrock for national rebirth.

At this historic moment, it is most important to say a hearty thank you to every Nigerian who voted for the APC. Your votes have not just elected the first opposition party into federal power, but has also set a precedent which will have positive implications for democracy across Africa.

Dear GMB, the journey has just begun. Millions of Nigerians have put their trust in you, because they were not satisfied with the status quo. You represent the hope of a new generation of Nigerians, and you cannot afford to fail them. Our party has made a promise of change to our young people, to secure and rebuild our country, create jobs and opportunity, and improve citizens’ welfare. We will stand behind you to ensure we keep those promises, just like we did during these elections.

Our country needs a new direction. We have voted for you, and our party won the election, but when you assume our highest office, you must become the president of not just the APC, but all of Nigeria, including the people who did not vote for you. We look up to you to heal the fractures of our country, and truly unite this country like never before.

To President Jonathan, I want to specially thank you for conducting a historic election. Your party may have lost the elections, but you have won the admiration of the world by not interfering with the wishes of Nigerians. History will be kind to you.

It is my sincere hope that we will all come together as one country, to build the Nigeria of our dreams.
God bless Nigeria.

Buhari Thanks Supporters, Preaches against Wild Celebrations

Ahead of his formal declaration as President elect, APC Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari has expressed gratitude to Nigerians for choosing him and his party over and above the PDP and their candidate, the incumbent President, Dr Jonathan Goodluck.

The APC declared victory party after Dr Jonathan called General Buhari at 5:15pm to make a concession and congratulate the winner. Director Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council Garba Shehu quoted Buhari as saying that the mood of the country as well as its current state did not warrant the type of wild celebrations reportedly going on in some cities across the country.

Buhari said anybody happy with the victory of the APC in the presidential election will not be involved in the molestation of opponents or the destruction of their property.

“He or she is not with me, whoever does that,” Buhari curtly said.

He is due to make a major acceptance speech in the coming hours.

In Nasarawa State for instance, the APC won two senate seats just and cleared all the senate seats in Kano State.

In Kano North, former House of Representatives member, Alhaji Barau Jubril, polled 381,393 votes to beat Senate Majority Whip, Senator Bello Gwarzo, who scored 107, 845 votes. Gwarzo has been in the Senate since 1999.

In Kaduna, Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi of the PDP lost to Malam Shehu Sani of the APC.

In Ondo, the APC cleared two senatorial seats with Donald Alasoadura of the APC winning against the incumbent while APC’s Senator Ajayi Boroffice beat Senator Bode Olajumoke of the PDP.

In Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, a serving senator and former governor of the state, retained his seat.

In Benue State, Chief Barnabas Gemade, a serving senator who had dumped the PDP after alleging that the State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, wanted the ticket, beat the governor to clinch the senatorial ticket.

In Niger State, the incumbent Governor Aliyu Babangida lost to the APC, while in Ogun state, APC clinched two senatorial seats.
The APC also recorded success in many other states, paving way for the possibility of forming the majority in the next session of the National Assembly.

In Lagos State, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, Senator Oluremi Tinubu and Solomon Olamilekan Adeola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the three Senatorial seats in Lagos to represent the state at the National Assembly.

In the election announced on Monday evening, Ashafa retained his senatorial seat as he won the Lagos East Senatorial election in the state.
Ashafa, according to results announced by the INEC’s returning officer, polled 181,221 votes to defeat the PDP candidate, Olabisi Owolabi-Salis, who scored 126,350.

Ashafa won in all the five local governments that make up Lagos East Senatorial District: Epe, Kosofe, Ikorodu, Ibeju Lekki and Shomolu.
In Lagos West Senatorial District, Solomon Olamilekan Adeola aka Yayi of the APC was declared winner.
In the results declaring Adeola as winner, he scored 429,765 votes to beat his rival, Segun Adewale of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored 372,421 in the nation’s largest senatorial district.

He won in six of the 10 local governments, namely Alimosho, Agege, Ifako Ijaiye, Mushin, Badagry and Ikeja to beat his rival with 57,344 votes.
He lost in Ojo, Amuwo Odofin, Oshodi /Isolo and Ajeromi /Ifelodun.

In Lagos Central, Senator Oluremi Tinubu of the APC defeated Dr. Ade Dosumu of the PDP and other contestants in Saturday’s National Assembly polls to retain her seat.

Reacting to his victory at the Lagos East Senatorial election, Senator Ashafa said it was a hard-fought race and thanked all who supported him to emerge victorious, saying that “I am overwhelmed by your gesture and accept your mandate to represent Lagos East Senatorial District.
“I emerged winner with about 60 percent of the total votes cast at the election. I accept the challenge to serve you better for another four year,” said Ashafa at a news conference on Monday night.

He said the lessons to be learnt from this election was that the electorate had become more assertive and should not be taken for granted any longer as “they want us to move past political bickering.”

Ashafa said he is going back to Abuja to represent his people better, adding that he would work across party lines to make sure that “we get our country’s problems fixed. That is going to require us to monitor the budget closely in these times of austerity, to further commit to a more flexible and workakable transportation policy so we can fix our roads and other infrastructure.

“We want to make sure that we reform grey areas in our tax system so that companies can actually get the incentives they deserve and bring their jobs back home rather than sending them abroad and to make sure that young people are not crushed by the weight of unemployment, lack of power supply and other infrastructure,” he added.
