What’s not sure is if that’s his nature or some way to drive his serial political ambitions. He’s touched the life of many irrespective of origin and in his two years as governor, Imo State has come smiling and sobbing. That makes it difficult to place him.

Not hidden is his high-wire political ambition: he wants to be president. He had contested before and banged. He formed his own political party and failed, he left the PDP and focused on his philanthropy; then came APGA to the rescue. They gave him a platform to contest as governor and his built-up goodwill over the years paid off. He won. Now in APGA, he’s quarrelling with APGA stalwarts as he did in the PDP. The founders and drivers of the party have become no-persons and,

Photo credit perezhilton

  It's seeming more and more like Amanda Bynes's "ugly" comments are coming from a dark place, one we hope she can find her way out of!

Why? Because the troubled starlet is still obviously not happy with her nose, despite the fact that: 

1, it was perfectly fine to begin with, and

 2, she's already had plastic surgery to adjust that perfectly fine feature before.

We've learned that Amanda had “webbing” removed from her nose/eyes area, which she claims boosted her confidence and immediately outdated all her older pics. We’re all for self-confidence, but at the same time we don't know that nose jobs are the answer!!
