See photos of abducted Chibok girls from new Boko Haram video

           
New video of dozens of abducted Chibok school girls has been released by Boko Haram. The girls, numbering about 130, said to be held at Sambisa forest, a border between Cameroon and Nigeria, are seen praying in Arabic in the video.

In the video, Boko Haram leader said he's ready to do a deal to free some or all the girls. He said;

"The girls you occupy yourselves with, we have liberated them...they are now Muslims. We will never release them unless our brethren are released. It's been 4/5 years you held our brethren and torturing them..and now you talk about these girls. Those who accept the faith, we'll treat them well. We will not release the girls until you free our brothers"

He mentioned that the girls have been converted to Islam. The girls are believed to be held in six different locations. Continue to see more pics...

Rihanna bares her stomach in cropped shirt as she cheers on her team courtside

                     
Perhaps she meant to distract the enemy.

Whatever her plan, Rihanna was unmissable in her crop top as she screamed, clapped and jumped up and down courtside during a nail-biting game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.

The 26-year-old's ploy worked as the Clippers rallied to win the playoff game 101-99 over Thunder. see more photos after the cut.........

Nigerian Immigration retort to Davido's claims of harrassment by their officers

                                 
                 
A few days ago, Davido tweeted that he missed his flight to London because of immigration officers who were harassing him at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja because of money. The Nigerian Immigration Service has responded to Davido's claims.

Don Jazzy Finally Explains the Meaning Of ‘Dorobucci’

                                 
CEO, Mavin records, Don Jazzy, has come out clear about the idea behind the song. Jazzy who employed the use of urbandictionary.com, points out the meaning of “bucci”. “Bucci” pronounced as b-oo-ch-ee, is anything that is fun, cool, awesome, fantastic or any word of same meaning.

The word is used when something wants to make you say AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH.
E.g “Yeah, it’s totally bucci”.
However, he still keeps the meaning of “doro” hidden and we suspect it may mean something weird or something meaningless though.
But we’ll wait, maybe he’d give out the meaning later.

Terrorists blow up second bridge, kill many in village attack, abduct two kids

Troops have been placed on red alert  following information that Boko Haram insurgents had surrounded Gwoza, Borno State.

A military source said the insurgents had been “massing up in Gwoza with intent to strike.”

“We have placed troops on red alert. We are also sending reinforcement as I speak with you. We are taking pre-emptive measures to avert a repeat of what happened in Gamboru during the week.”

The news broke as the terrorists blew up another bridge, killed an unknown number of people and abducted the wife and two children of a retired police officer at Limankara village in Adamawa State.

The Limankara bridge served as a link between Adamawa and Borno states.

A team of French experts arrived  Abuja yesterday to join those from the USA and UK  to help look for the girls.

An official in President Francois Hollande’s office in Paris said they are experts in collecting intelligence from technical and human sources and in image analysis.

Father of two of the abducted girls, the Rev. Enoch Mark, described his despair and anger at the military for not yet finding his daughters.

“For a good 11 days, our daughters were sitting in one place,” he told The Associated Press. “They camped them near Chibok  not more than 30 kilometres, and no help in hand. For a good 11 days.”

Kwara: Still a battle of siblings

         

The defection of former Kwara State Governor, Dr. Bukola Saraki, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) along with other members of the new PDP perhaps may have changed the face of Kwara politics permanently.

On the heels of Saraki’s defection was the decision of the state governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, two senators, all members of the House of Representatives–all PDP members (except one) in the state House of Assembly, the 18 local government chairmen and over a 100 councillors in the state–to join APC in solidarity with the former governor who currently represents Kwara Central in the Senate.
