A 17-year-old girl Nigerian girl, Forester Samson, has been reportedly stabbed to death in, the capital  of Russia, by yet-to-be-identified Russian gangsters. According to a family source, the perpetrators went further to lock her body in a room and set it ablaze. Though, the police took her to the hospital, it was rather futile.

The teenager  without hesitation, but with the approval of her mother jumped at the offer with high hopes.

She added that the family was later told that Forester was stabbed before being set ablaze. Sonia said,  “Her madam is the one that called us on Tuesday and told us s...

By Emeka Mamah, Kingsley Omonobi, Ndahi Marama  & Ben Agande Acts of bravado exhibited by hundreds of Boko Haram terrorists who attempted to rescue some of their detained members inside the military barracks in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, yesterday led to the killing of scores of the terrorists during the ill- fated mission/ attack. Reliable sources said that the suspected terrorists succeeded in freeing some of the detainees but the victory was short-lived as most of them were later killed or re-arrested by troops who were joined by fighter jets from the Air Force to overpower the invaders. Multiple explosions and sporadic gunshots started rocking the troubled city and environs at about 7.30 am when the terrorists reportedly invaded the town in an attempt to destroy the Giwa Military Barracks (Air Defence Unit) where the suspected Boko Haram members were being detained since 2009 when the uprising started in a bid to rescue them.

The Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Lawal Tanko, stated this in an interview in Maiduguri, on March 14, 2014, Friday. “The story indicating that the university had been attack is not true. “What happened was that the insurgents passed through a river channel behind the university to launch the attack on the barracks,”  he said. The CP also noted that according to his information, UNIMAID was safe, both students and lecturers were properly protected. Malam Ahmed Mohammed, the Chief Information Officer of the university, also backed the commissioner’s statement. However, the attempted attack by suspected sect members on the Giwa Barracks, Maiduguri, in the morning of March 14, has been confirmed. “It is true that there is an ongoing exchange of fire between security agents and some suspected insurgents, but the incident is limited to the barracks area alone,”  Tanko said.

When Aishat Farooq gained admission into the University of Ilorin at 15, to study Zoology, little did she know that she was not going to be an alumnus of the institution. That was in 2003. Despite the fact that she was a high flyer in her first two years in UNILORIN, the now 25-year-old indigene of Ilorin West-Local Government Area of Kwara State got distracted along the line. She played the campus love game and got a shocking result: she got pregnant. It was in 2006 and in her third year. She was pregnant for a fellow student whom she had been dating. She was disappointed in herself and thought the whole world was crashing on her.  Yet, she vowed not to terminate the pregnancy. Although she wanted to continue her studies in the university,  she became disillusioned and dropped out at 18. She sought consolation in trading. But her father, Mr. Shehu Farooq, who believed that his daughter’s academic prowess should not be wasted,  was determined to get her back on the...

31-year-old pregnant banker who was arrested by the lagos state police command for cutting her 34-year-old husband’s  man-hood    during a fight at their home in Surulere has explained why she did it. “Please, kindly judge this by yourself. As a pregnant woman, will I willingly attempt to cut off my husband’s man-hood? I ordinarily would not have said anything. I did not realise this will escalate to this stage. The case is being handled by my lawyer at the moment. “My husband is not a hot-tempered man but he gets angry once in a while. He lied that he washes my clothes. He only did that once or twice when I was ill. We had a disagreement that day and he beat me up. My mother came to the house and took away our son. “Without telling anybody, I went to my hospital and was treated. I did not tell him. But when I got home, he continued to harass me. He said I must ensure his son was returned to the house. “I was so tired and I went to sleep. But in the middle of ...

Ghana – A teenage orphaned girl with a severe facial deformity is to receive life-changing surgery thanks to a fundraising campaign initiated by a social networking website Tumblr. The Ghana orphanage caring for 13-year-old Esinam needed to raise $10,000 to pay for surgery, but managed to raise only $130 in donations. Then, a Tumblr user turned to the web community and helped to accumulate even over $10,000 in less than a week. The kind-hearted blogger was able to boost the orphan’s surgery fund by encouraging more than 450 people to donate. The deformity suffered by the 13-year-old has prevented her from attending school. No one is sure what is causing the mass growing on her face, because Esinam’s parents died when she was younger. When the grandmother who helped raise her died from a stroke, the teenager went to live at the orphanage. After the rush of donations a spokesman for the foundation posted an update on the teenager and thanked the contributors. He added ...

An X-rated photo of two Nollywood stars, Muna Obiekwe and Biola Ige, has been circulating online media. A City People journalist was successful in contacting the actress in an attempt to clear the air on the semi-unclad controversial picture. However, Biola gave a controversial reply: “Thanks for calling but at this period. I shall not be talking, but I appreciate the fact that you called and I promise that soon when I have something to say I will call you”. The journalist asked himself and the readers: “Is she enjoying this ‘fame’?” Because usually Nollywood actresses reply in another way in such situations. For example “it was leaked and I feel bad”, or “it’s not my pic”, or “it was simply photoshopped”.

An X-rated picture showing two well-known Nollywood stars has leaked the web. Actor Muna Obiekwe is really enjoying the chest of an actress, Biola Ige. At this time, it is not known if the photo is a snapshot from a new movie, or a photo-shopped image. However, several indications prove that it is actually a movie. For instance, Muna Obiekwe has been previously chosen by producers to act in a number of adult videos. On the other hand, in her  recent interview Biola Ige said  she was not interested in serious relationship with men, as she had realized that most of them simply wanted to have s*x with her and move on.
