Nigeria New Year revellers hit by Abuja 'bomb'
The area around the blast has been sealed offThe explosion happened in the Mammy market, where soldiers and civilians gathered to eat and drink beer celebrating New Year's Eve.
Air Marshal Oluseyi Petirin blamed "devilish people" but did not name any group or give a possible motive.
He also declined to give any casualty figures.
State TV has said 30 people were killed but other sources say four people have died.
Witnesses have told the BBC they saw body parts lying on the ground and injured people being carried away after the blast.
"People ran in different directions. There were scores of bodies - dead and wounded. They used army trucks to pack them away," a market regular called Eric said, reports the Reuters news agency.
Air Marshal Petirin said a bomb had been placed "where people were relaxing and generally being happy because of the New Year which is approaching".
He urged Nigerians to be vigilant following a recent spate of bomb attacks in a country where they had been almost unknown.
"Do not allow anybody to come and leave a bag, or any kind of object, especially when he is not there," he told state TV.
The market is near the Sani Abacha barracks, named after Nigeria's late military dictator, in Asokoro district, home to the presidential palace and said to be the city's most secure area.
Officially renamed the Mogadishu Cantonment, the barracks is still known to many by its old name.
WORLD PREMIER: Kanye West "Monster" VIDEO Ft. Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj
After the preview arrived a few weeks ago for Kanye West ft. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver "Monster" music video, we've got what looks to be a completed version of the video, but perhaps not the 'final' version. This is pretty epic.
As you might have guessed from the previews the Jake Nava-directed video music video takes place in some sort of haunted mansion with each 'guest' having their own room to confront their monsters.
There are dead bodies, goblins, ghouls, vampires and a torturous version of Nicki Minaj lurking around the corner.

49 year old mother of one, Terri Smith, is believed to be the World's Fattest Woman, weighing 700lb. She is confined to her bedroom in her Ohio home unable to move, stand or roll over by herself.
Suffering from severe headaches which doctors fear could stem from a brain problem, Terri urgently needs a brain scan - but is too big to fit inside an MRI machine.

Cassie Wins Glo Naija sings!!!
Glo Naija Sings season 2 has finally come to an end! At the end of a spectacular grand finale in which he performed alongside resident judge Tosin Martins and soul-folk singer Bez, Casey beat out Da Brodas and Rasine to take the $100 000 cash prize, a Toyota Rav 4 and a Glo Ambassadorship.
The uniquely Nigerian show opened with a soft ballad performance by the top three - Rasine, Casey and Da Brodas - joined by both a choral quartet (comprising of eliminated contestants) as well as Tosin Martins – the resident judge.
Maye Hunta was next on stage with a rather bland performance that would probably have been torn apart had Tosin Martins been allowed to judge it. The top 3 then came on stage to perform their singles; Casey, Rasine and Da Brodas performing '1st Lady', 'True Life' and 'Who You Are' respectively.
Naija Sings season 1 winner, John Ogah, performed his first single 'Tonight' and stirred up the crowd a little bit while he was at it. With that, the finale seemed to come to life as the top 10 worst singers were showcased right before Psquare took to the stage and blew the audience away.
The top 3 then took to the stage for their second set of performances. Casey was cool and smooth as he performed a soulful 'Zuciya Daya' alongside Bez, drawing cheers from the crowd. Rasine performed hit song 'Kele Kele' with Tiwa Savage and Da Brodas brought some fresh energy on stage with Wizkid as they performed 'Holla At Your Boy'.
Psquare again raised the already high tempo a notch as they returned on stage to perform 'E No Easy' and 'Gimme That' just before the winner was announced.
It was really tense as the envelope was brought on stage and handed over to Olisa Adibua, who in turn announced 27 year old Lagos resident - Casey - as this year’s Glo Naija Sings winner.A lot of people were rooting for Da Brodas,On stage, Casey was ecstatic as he received his $100,000 cash prize from Biola Alabi, MD M-Net Africa as well as his Toyota Rav 4 car keys from Glo - "All I can say is thank you Africa, thank you world… thank you my friends… thank you to everyone who made this happen…".
The show maintained the high as Casey closed with his single, which will be released in the coming days.
After the show he told the press: "I had won in many stages prior to this time; I had competed against myself; I got out of my comfort zone by performing songs by Fela with my R ‘n’B style; I had to conquer that phobia."
He added; "I intend to invest with the money and get back to school and take care of my family. I want to learn something in a music school. I just don’t want to win this money and disappear into thin air. I want to do something big in music."

Gay People Should Be Buried Alive: Ugandan Newspaper Editor
This is scary, even by Ugandan standards.
Remember few weeks ago, when a publication in Uganda known as Rolling Stone (no relation to the U.S. magazine) published the names and faces of dozens of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders [LGBT] people in the country, under the caption of “Hang Them”? Turns out the editor of that publication, Giles Muhame, isn’t finished with his campaign of terror.
He wants to spend the next few weeks publishing more issues outing suspected LGBT people in the country. And he makes no bones about his position: he wants to see violence done to these people.
“I hope basic justice will be done,” Muhame told Reuters. “Some people are even calling for public hanging and some others even want to see homosexuals buried alive.”
Basic justice for Muhame means burying gay people alive? That’s as cruel as it gets in this country, where a bill in the nation’s legislature could still become law, criminalizing homosexuality with life imprisonment or the death penalty.
For the editor of Rolling Stone to say that he’s going to continue to use his publishing platform to foster violence against LGBT people is particularly troubling, since a Ugandan court has placed a temporary injunction on Muhame’s newspaper preventing it from publishing while a court decides whether the publication is legal or not.
But Muhame argues that the temporary injunction issued on his paper ended on November 26. The court’s ruling on whether the publication is legitimate isn’t expected until December 13, a more than two week window that Muhame says gives him a chance to foment more hatred toward LGBT people.
“The interim order was first passed on November 1st and extended until November 26th while we prepared our case,” Muhame said. “The judge then said on the 26th that he would pass his final verdict on December 13th, which means it expired.”
The last thing that LGBT folks in Uganda need is for Muhame to be whipping up extremely violent hysteria again. Already, his publications have caused LGBT people in Uganda to fear for their lives, with one lesbian having her house attacked before she barely escaped a stoning.
Yet now it appears that Muhame is set to release another issue, this time with a potential call that gay people be publicly hung or buried alive. Will Uganda’s Media Council seriously be willing to stand for that?
Russia to host FIFA World Cup in 2018, Qatar in 2022
FIFA has sent the World Cup into uncharted territory few minutes ago, handing the 2018 edition to Russia and going to Qatar in 2022.
Russia's selection came despite the no-show of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, but his clout still had an impact on FIFA's 22 voters as it won over England, Spain-Portugal and Belgium-Netherlands.
Qatar brings the World Cup to the smallest host ever but one that has unparalleled financial clout to stage the world's biggest single-sport event. It overcame objections about holding the games in desert heat and asked FIFA to take a "bold gamble."
"We go to new lands," FIFA president Sepp Blatter said.
The United States and Australia had been tipped as favourites alongside Qatar for 2022. Japan and South Korea were also in the running.
After three days of high anxiety when England sent Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham for intense lobbying and the United States counted on the aura of former president Bill Clinton, none were a match for the novelty promised by Qatar and Russia.
"Thank you for believing in change," said Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani.
Qatar will stage a World Cup in and around Doha in a desert summer but promises state-of-the-art technology to cool fans and players alike.
