  Atiku Fires Back at Obasanjo, Says He Stood by Ex-President in Prison and After Release Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has responded to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s recent criticism, insisting he stood by the former military ruler during his incarceration and after his release from prison, and declaring that history cannot be rewritten. Obasanjo had on Friday described his decision to pick Atiku as his running mate in the 1999 presidential election as the biggest mistake of his presidency. He made the remark in Lagos during a fireside conversation with entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, at the public presentation of Charly Boy’s foundation and memoir, *999: A Memoir in Tribute to Late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa*. In a statement issued on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku described Obasanjo’s comments as “another failed attempt to rewrite history.” The former vice-president defende...

BILLIE EILISH COVERS THE JUNE 2021 OF BRITISH VOGUE.{PHOTOS}.#TOM BOY TO SEXY.

The transformation from the big cloths and trousers is a huge transformation for award winning musician Billie Eilish who like to hide her huge breast and shape.On this Vogue she is giving us all the sexy vibe of Marilyn Monroe. She shared these Vogue cover on social media with the caption '' @britishvogue cover 🥰🥰🥰 thank you to @edward_enninful, @denagia, @craigmcdeanstudio, @jilldemling and the british vogue team for respecting my vision and making this come to life.

According to the magazing '' The phrase “voice of a generation” gets thrown around a lot these days, but it would be hard to argue that Billie Eilish isn’t literally that. Boundary-breaking musician, high priestess of Generation Z, and an artist who has redefined her industry like no other: as she is poised to release her second album, the world is on tenterhooks – a fact Billie understands all too well. In March came a change of hair – goodbye green, hello blonde – and a reveal selfie that effortlessly broke the internet. But as you will discover, she isn’t stopping there. 

Our cover star this month wanted nothing short of a transformation – and, as has been the way throughout Billie’s extraordinary career, it’s her depth, intelligence, humour and self-awareness that underpin her choices. So she came to Vogue with an idea. What if, she wondered, she wanted to show more of her body for the first time in a fashion story? What if she wanted to play with corsetry and revel in the aesthetic of the mid-20th century pin-ups she’s always loved? It was time, she said, for something new. Having learnt her fashion fantasy, we went to work. Billie collaborated closely with the team here, led by style director Dena Giannini, to commission designers from Gucci to Alexander McQueen, Valentino to Burberry, on a series of custom looks.

I think it’s safe to say the result is Billie Eilish as we’ve never seen her before – but as always with Billie, it goes deeper, and it is the story behind the transformation that is key. That Billie is 19, is often hailed as the antidote to toxic tropes for women in pop, and has been a reluctant icon of body positivity (a term she has a complicated relationship with), as well as, of course, a feminist thought leader for her fans, makes this an intriguing change of gear.

As the foremost musical star of her generation on social media, she lives in a world of snap judgements and harsh comments, a place where a layered thought process can get lost. She knows the stakes are high whenever she puts herself out there. But, as you will read in her interview with Laura Snapes, it was a moment she wanted to embrace. She has things to say about personal choice, about fear, about fun, about women’s bodies, and above all about confidence. “Don’t make me not a role model because you’re turned on by me,” she says. As ever with Billie, I am in awe.

In March, I had the great pleasure of co-chairing the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund panel alongside British Fashion Council chief executive Caroline Rush. The annual shortlist of the most exciting up-and-coming talent in the industry is always a privilege to oversee, as well as an important responsibility. This year it felt markedly so. To say recent times have been hard on designers – and young designers especially – is an understatement. The resilience and creativity of all the finalists was humbling to see.

This year, I am pleased to announce Bethany Williams as the recipient of the £200,000 grant and industry stewardship. Bethany is an extraordinary talent who brings a depth to her process that is nothing short of inspirational. On top of her substantial gifts as a designer, she has rethought the way her collections are made, working with women who are homeless or in prison, among others, using her business to bring training and support. Coupled with her work with fellow fashion creatives in the Emergency Designer Network last year, making PPE at the height of the first Covid wave, she really is a marvel''.More photos below.
