Kim Kardashian Pulled Over for Speeding While Being Chased by Paparazzi

Apparently, the paparazzi is "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" a little too well.

The California Highway Patrol confirms that Kim Kardashian was pulled over for speeding in her black Rolls-Royce in L.A. on Tuesday afternoon. Several paparazzi cars were trailing the 33-year-old at the time, and the driver of one of those vehicles was stopped as well.

Both Kim and the photographer were cited for speeding and released, although there could be an investigation as to whether the photographer cited was harassing Kim, TMZ reports.
.
The website claims that some of the photogs abandoned their vehicles in the middle of the freeway in an attempt to get a shot of the reality star being ticketed and, in the process, caused a traffic jam.

A rep for Kim did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Kardashian and her fiancé Kanye West were already paparazzi magnets on their own, even before they got together in April 2012, and interest in them has only increased since the birth of their baby girl, North West, this past June.

Although the new mom built her empire by enticing the paps to follow her every move and constantly sharing her life by posting selfies and tweets, she has been less happy to encounter photographers lately. In an October episode of her family's show, Kim, who was still pregnant when the show was filmed, complained about being followed. Her younger sister Khloé went as far as comparing her to the late Princess Diana, whose died in a 1997 crash after a car chase with the paparazzi.

Both Kim and Kanye have vowed to keep their daughter out of the spotlight, and West himself has long had an adversarial relationship with the paps. Earlier this month, he pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor charges of battery and attempted grand theft following an altercation he had with paparazzo Daniel Ramos at Los Angeles International Airport on July 19. In the caught-on-camera incident, the rapper is seen wrestling Ramos to the ground after he and fellow photogs refuse to stop taking his photo. The criminal case resumes on Jan. 23. Ramos has also filed a civil lawsuit against West.

Somehow we don't think this will be the last of their run-ins with the paparazzi.

Corruption: There is no governance in Nigeria – Ezekwesili

Pioneer Director-General of Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit (Due Process Unit), Dr Oby Ezekwesili, has called on Nigerian leaders to take seriously, the corruption charges levelled against Nigeria by economy monitoring organisations, both nationally and internationally. She spoke at a forum on leadership organised by the Day Star Christian Centre in Lagos on Wednesday. According to her, if the current administration claims to be fighting corruption and rating bodies still scores the country high in graft, it means no significant progress had been made in the fight against the menace. Ezekwesili, a chartered accountant and a co-founder of Berlin-based Transparency International, said after 53 years of independence, Nigeria had no governance but merely “massive transaction of operations”. She said: “There is no good governance in Nigeria. Good governance is about governance that gives the highest possible results and it is on ...

The battle between the Federal Government and the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has attained a new intensity following a 7-day ultimatum issued by the Presidency. Some of the striking lecturers have remained adamant despite the obvious waning in the resolve of their members evidenced by the withdrawing of some universities from the strike. The academic body has taken things even further by warning parents not to allow their wards resume in schools to avoid risking the lives of their children. Vanguard  reports : The Presidency, on its part accused ASUU leaders of treachery and warned the university lecturers not to dare the resolve of government to carry out its threat to sack them if they failed to resume.

President Goodluck Jonathan, however, clarified, weekend, in Bayels...
