A Nigerian man took to the streets of Washington D.C to protest concerning the remaining kidnapped Dapchi student, Leah Sharibu, who was not released along with her classmates. According to media reports, Leah was held back by the Boko Haram terrorists for refusing to denounce her Christian faith and covert to Islam while in captivity. .

The protesting Nigerian man joined other agitators who gathered in Washington to call for tighter gun laws following the massacre at a high school in Parkland, Florida, last month.

The rally was led by young activists from Parkland and across the country, in an array of powerful and composed speeches from young people from diverse backgrounds.

A lovely and historical event was witnessed earlier today as 50 couples tied the knot in a mass wedding ceremony at Immaculate Heart Of Mary, Parish, Umuagwo Ohaji In Ohaji/Egbema LGA of Imo State. The event was said to have attracted a large crowd at the community where the ceremony was held.

After the couples exchanged their marital vows, they offered special thanksgiving to God and signed their marriage registers accordingly.

In an interview, one of the brides, reportedly appreciated God for making the wedding successful, and thanked the priests and members of the Church for giving all couples the opportunity to be joined on the same day.

Earlier, there had been mass wedding ceremonies in other states of the country but none of them involved such an unprecedented number of couples.

A former Cameroonian minister, Basil Atangana Kuna was caught by Interpol on Wednesday night in Nigeria and transported via a plane to Yaoundé in handcuffs. The former minister of water and energy minister was arrested in Nigeria and flown home on Thursday escorted by police officers - amid a crackdown on high-level corruption.

Basile Atangana Kouna was removed from his ministerial position during President Paul Biya’s March 2 cabinet reshuffle. He had already been ordered the previous month not to leave the country.

It was not clear what charges Atangana Kouna was facing, but there was speculation on Thursday that he was arrested as part of an anti-corruption drive known as Operation Sparrowhawk.

Three men - a former Ministry of Public Works official, the head of a state company, and the ex-rector of the University of Douala - were arrested as part of the operation earlier this week.

Here are exquisite pictures of the Isiebu country home of Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume named 'Ugwumba Villa' in Okigwe area of Imo state. Ik Ogbonna, the media aide to the governorship aspirant on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Araraume, shared the photos online as he wrote;

Sen Ifeanyi Araraume bears the chieftaincy title of Ugwumba Okigwe bestowed on him by the traditional rulers of Okigwe Zone and christened his home in his village, Isiebu in Isiala Mbano, UGWUMBA VILLA.

A first time visitor to the village would be confused if they are still within Owerri municipality with the well connected tarred roads with drainage attracted by the Senator during his glorious sojourn in the Senate.

Coming into Ugwumba Villa proper, you are amazed again by the expansive compound, well lit, neat, aesthetically pleasing, organized and natural environment surrounded by trees and flower's giving an ambience of serenity.

From the marked car parks, to the well mowed grass, lawn flowers, freshly painted structures, well lit compound, tarred roads that has lasted over 10 yrs without potholes.


Ik Ogbonna anipr,

Special Adviser to Senator Ifeanyi Araraume on Media

A ghastly motor accident happened along airport road in Port-Harcourt area of Rivers state after two cows ran into the highway and destroyed a Toyota Camry with two passengers inside. The cows reportedly came out of the bush and ran into the vehicle - causing a serious accident. The Fulani herdsmen who were rearing the cows - allegedly fled after seeing what had happened.

An eyewitness Ezebunwo Ichemati shared what happened online. Read below;

The Rivers State Government and House Of Assembly should as a matter of urgency propose and pass into law the Anti Open Grazing bill to save our Daughters and Sons from the carelessness of these Fulani Cattle rearers on our roads.

On my way back from Etche along the Port Harcourt airport road that leads to obiri Ikwerre, I saw two cows lying lifeless on the road and also a damaged toyota camry car on same road and this caused serious traffic.

I alighted from the car, got very close to the accident scene,only to discover that a Facebook friend of mine Miss Nengi was the passenger in the damaged Toyota camry car, enquiries as explained by the driver of the camry Mr George, showed that while he was on speed two cows ran out of the Bush towards their direction, he lost control of the car and that's all you could remember.

In all of this, there was no trace of the Fulani Cattle Rearers. They fled deep into the Bush with their remaining cows.

Passersby who came to render help all spoke in unison about the daily occurrence of Fulani cows always running into cars, they said the last experience on that same road was a sad one because two human lives was lost and also pleaded to the Rivers State Government to do something about it.

A farmer at the scene who is also a pastor in OPM CHURCH lamented bitterly on how the produce from his farms have been destroyed by the Fulani Cattle Rearers and their cows.

The Rivers State Government should act now because our brothers and sisters in the rural areas suffer so much in the hands of these wicked and heartless Fulani Cattle Rearers that think about themselves and their cows alone.

Today it is Nengi, it can be any Government official on that road tomorrow.

Reports have it that five persons including the first year student of the Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma, were killed in two separate attacks by suspected herdsmen in Ugboha, Esan South East Local, and Odiguete Ovia North East Local Government Areas of Edo state.

The incident at Ugboha, occurred Friday night at about 7:30 pm when the deceased Collins and his friends were on their way back to the village from Uromi.

Father of the deceased, Mr. Festus Ojeriakhi, while narrating the incident said:

“I am just confused. I was actually in the house easting at about 8pm and I started asking about my son who was not there. I was told he went to Uromi with his friends on a motorcycle. “It was around 9pm that the mother of my son´s friend started shouting, crying that herdsmen have killed her son. I rushed out of the house and I asked about my own son. I was told he died too with his friend.

“We immediately detailed boys and ran to the place. When we got there we were told that the police have come to take the corpse to Ubiaja mortuary. I was told my son and two others including the friend died. They said the other person that died is an Igbo person.

“The information we heard was that as my son was driving home with his Okada, the herdsmen and their cattle blocked the road and they waited for them to leave the road. Immediately they passed, some of their people in the bush opened fire on my son and his friends and they died at the spot.

“I have been to the Area Commander’s office and they said they are investigating the matter. I don’t know what to do. This is a young boy that just entered university”, he lamented.
