Is Chris Brown Missing Karrueche Tran? Read His Sad Post

Chris Brown is obviously lonely with his new post. Chris revealed in a sad Instagram post on April 1, 2015 that he is not one of those that can handle being alone, Hollywoodlife reported.

In the photo he posted, Chris has his feet up to relax while the television is on in the background. It’s a peaceful looking moment but Chris confessed that he doesn’t feel comfortable unless he has someone nearby to snuggle up to.

“Some people love it but I will never find this comforting. Being alone in a room alone with no one to hold.”

Poor Breezy. Fans wondered if Chris was thinking about his ex, Karrueche. It’s been weeks since she dumped him after discovering he secretly fathered a daughter with another woman. Despite all of Chris’s efforts, Karrueche refused to take him back.

A baby girl born on March 26th with a facial deformity is being worshiped in India like a god. Villagers near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh in India, have flocked to see the 'divine' girl with the deformity resembling an elephant's trunk in the belief she is an incarnation of the elephant-headed god Ganesha.


According to Asian News, doctors told the villagers the girl's condition may well be a genetic mutation. The newborn's aunt, named as Rajani, told the news agency: "My sister-in-law gave birth to a girl and her face looks exactly like Lord Ganesha. Everybody is saying she is an incarnation of the god. This is why whoever hears about her is coming here to get a glimpse of the baby and are making whatever offerings possible." 

Asian News reports that doctors said they will examine the girl to find out the extent of her condition and whether they need to operate. Doctors said the condition could be a genetic mutation triggered by malnutrition and increased pollution.

Pres. Obama praises President Jonathan for conceding defeat

US President Barack Obama has praised President Jonathan for conceding defeat in the recently held presidential election. In a statement released today, President Obama said President Jonathan through his action placed Nigeria's interest first. The full statement below... 

The last few days have shown the world the strength of Nigeria’s commitment to democratic principles. By turning out in large numbers and sometimes waiting all day to cast their votes, Nigerians came together to decide the future of their country peacefully. I commend President Goodluck Jonathan and President-Elect Muhammadu Buhari for their public commitments to non-violence throughout the campaign. President Jonathan has placed his country’s interests first by conceding the election and congratulating President-Elect Buhari on his victory.
I look forward to working with President Jonathan throughout the remainder of his term, and I thank him for his many years of service and his statesmanlike conduct at this critical juncture. I urge President-Elect Buhari and President Jonathan to repeat their calls to their supporters to continue to respect the election outcomes, focus on unifying the country, and together lead Nigeria through a peaceful transition. Nigeria’s Independent National Election Commission (INEC) and its Chairman, Attahiru Jega, deserve special recognition for what independent international observers have deemed a largely peaceful and orderly vote.
