Kanye West Takes Kim Kardashian and Baby North West to Grandfather's Funeral

---

New parents Kanye West and Kim Kardashian stepped out once again with baby North West, but it was not a fun family trip this time. They headed to Oklahoma to attend the funeral of the rapper's grandfather, Portwood Williams Sr.

It explained why they were absent from the sweet 16th birthday of Kim's sister Kylie Jenner in Los Angeles. "That's why they weren't at [sister] Kylie's birthday," a source confirms to PEOPLE. "They brought North, too. Her first trip."

KimYe went to Oklahoma Saturday. They reportedly sent some very special guests, hip-hop stars Drake and Big Sean, to Kylie's birthday party to make up for their absence.

William Sr. died August 10. He was 98. Back in February, he expressed his approval for his grandson's choice of girlfriend. "She's just as sweet as she is beautiful," he said of Kim to New York's Daily News. "That's what I liked about her!"

Kim herself recently posted a picture of her "chilling with the creator of Instagram @kevin" Systrom ahead of the airing of the new episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians".

According to reports emerging later, the other three will be Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan), Menace (Felicity Jones) and Kletus Kassady (Jim Carrey).

Though director Marc Webb never confirms or denies these rumors, he has once given hint that what will be featured in the upcoming second installment might be as predicted. "I'm a fan of The Sinister Six. I'll say that. I think if you pay attention to the second movie, you'll see hints of what's to come," he said to Cinema Blend.

Due out May 2014, "Amazing Spider-Man 2" will follow the titular hero juggling his heroic duty to take out the bad guys as Spidey and his personal time with the person he loves the most as Peter Parker. This time, things will change as new villains show up and his old friend Harry Osborn returns.

Andrew Garfield will reprise role as the fan-favorite Spider-Man.

ASUU Strike: Strike To Be Called Off Soon As Jonathan Approves N400bn

The end to the present strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may be in sight as President Goodluck Jonathan has approved N400 billion for the infrastructural development of Nigerian universities.

The document to this effect is expected to be made available today at the meeting of the presidential committee on implementation of the NEEDS assessment in the universities with the leaders of the four university-based unions – the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The President of SSANU, Samson Ugwoke, made the revelation while addressing his union members at the SSANU National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at the weekend at the University of Abuja.
Ugwoke, briefing the SSANU members on the activities of the NEEDS assessment implementation committee, led by Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam. He noted that the fund was different from the N100 billion Governor Suswam had raised from donor agencies and big companies to tackle the problems of Nigerian universities in 2013.

The labour leader said: “Let me give you a tip on what the NEEDS assessment committee is doing. The president has approved that within the next four years; N400 billion would be expended in infrastructural development of Nigerian universities, to transform the universities to international standard.
“N100 billion has already been raised by Suswam committee out of which 61 universities have been penciled down, as contained in the NEEDS assessment committee. The N100 billion is expected to address needs of the universities in the areas which include re-furbishing and renovation of lecture theatres and lecture halls, re-furbishing and renovation of laboratories/libraries and the renovation of hostels.
“The second category is building of new hostels of international standard, self-contained rooms, the latest model in the world. That is the standard to be built in every university, and also the state-of-the-art laboratories as well as classrooms, lecture theatres and the halls.”
Ugwoke pointed out that the money had been shared and out of the N100 billion, N96 billion had been sent to universities.
He added: “The committee is meeting again on Monday, and by Monday (today), the document will be out. This time around, it is not only by giving university money, but it will be monitored to ensure that the money is used to transform the universities, to bail universities out of the present situation and developed to an international recognized university standard.”

On his celebrity crush he replied by saying: None at the moment… outside Naija, I haven’t thought about that, may be Rihanna. Nah! Rihanna’s now somehow sef (laughs). Mehn, I don’t know again oh. Everyone has broken my heart (laughs).

Burna also confessed to have been dumped by a girl a very long time ago for cheating on her.
Burna who said he doesn't smoke now when asked his experience in England while he was schooling said "It felt like it was forever. You know what I’m saying; imagine you’re in school forever – that’s just wrong man (laughs). And then again, I just felt like that because that wasn’t in the plan for me.
Athough he finished high school, the whole university part took the backseat.

On if he is fashionable
Hell yeah! I mean, I feel like I’m in my own lane in every aspect, especially fashion. For example, I wear Versace shades, now everybody wears Versace shades. You know the whole rocking of print shirts and bringing back the 90’s and now, it’s just catching on. So, may be one day I’ll change it to like… futuristic and then, everyone will be doing it. You’ll see, you know. Never though, I won’t go to Will.I.Am’s extent though (laughs). That’s just a different n****.
What would you never be caught wearing?
I don’t know – something that doesn’t look good.
Do you have any style icons?
Shabba Ranks.
How would you describe your style of fashion?
Men, it’s me, men.
You have a lot of tattoos and they are easily one of your identifiers. What inspired you to get your first tattoo?
It’s me, man, you get me. It’s a decision that I made.
Are there some of them that mean more to you?
Every single one of them is very significant to me because everything on my body is a story so it kind of represents who I am. That’s what tattoos are.
