Star actress, Genevieve Nnaji is an epitome of natural beauty. Her cuteness is sure to give men sleepless nights... Don't be surprised if looking at her takes your breath away or leaves you speechless. ..lol.

madridguy:
@ OP where is your source ?

Reference:
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind and this tit for tat thing will only damage the polity. It is good to oppose for the betterment of society but that tool becomes blunt and those in authority will fail to yield to it when it becomes petty or downright cynical. If you are in the opposition doing this, know this, as with the current bokoharam insurgency, you cannot defeat the government by throwing stones at it but by superior ideas. Your crass words show you have few or little ideas and do your party no good. Very soon the country will see through this that you chaps are not prepared and have certainly not learnt much from the failures of the past.

I am all for freedom of speech as it concerns all but the unity and security of this country, but like I did warn during the past PDP government certain things we do will come back double fold and haunt us because what we do shapes the future. Certainly the APC and some of its supporters have no one but themselves to blame for this ugly course but we cannot continue as a country to make the same mistakes over and over. That is just stupidity. It has just got to stop.

It's quite a sad one!! Boko haram attacks were never this bad under GEJ!!! It has now become a daily thing!! I wonder if those guys are humans or savage beasts!! Buhari and his service chiefs has completely lost control of the situation!!

chukwudi44:
The casualty is quite heavy!! About 40 people are said to have been killed!!! I often pause to wonder what people are still doing in that Maiduguri!! Seriously no matter what business or job someone has there, it is not worth losing your life for it.

RIP Poor victims

Two other suspects, Usman Kato and Babawuro are already in the custody of the Directorate of State Service,DSS. Babawuro was arrested in Lokoja, while two other members of the kidnap gang are still on the run.

The exhibits

Exhibits recovered from the gang leader Abubakar Auta include cash of N823,990:00, 12 SIM cards, a phone used for negotiating the ransom of Chief Falae and a Red Bajaj Motorcycle with Reg No; KER 385 QA which was used to convey Chief Olu Falae to their camp when he got tired of walking in the bush.

During interview, Umaru Ibrahim said they have a boss called Baba Uro who they have not met but who sent the N100,000 to them after the ransom was paid by Chief Falae’s family.

He said that their boss lives in Abuja and that he has only spoken with him once.

Ibrahim told newsmen that he paid a debt of N60,000 from his own share of the ransom.

Also, Idris Lawal confirmed that he received N100,000. He said that they spent five days in the bush and that they are eight in number. He confessed that he hails from Katsina State and he is a herdsman.

The fourth suspect, Masahudu Muhammed declined to tell newsmen how much his share of the ransom was.

It will be recalled that Chief Falae was abducted by Fulani herdsmen on Monday, September 21, 2015, the day he clocked 77 at his farm in Ilado, Akure North council area of Ondo State.

He was released four days later.

Its high time we acted mature and stop these derogatery name calling. How and why should a human being be called a COW because he rears them?

So does that apply to those that rear PIGS be called pigs since they rear them? Who will be happy when his father/uncle/brother or himself is been called any if the animals names.

l think its high time the moderators or even Seun took punitive actions on such people. Because it tanishes the forum's image (as being crude and immature).

grandstar:
This are opportunistic attacks. Its because BH are losing the war that is why they are targeting defenseless civilians. The next step for the army is to step up information gathering

hinwazaka:
Well, ChannelsTV Newstrack just reported it.

avelock:
Hmmmmmm. This is a serious allegation that need to be investigated. We need total overhauling of our government agencies. Over to you EFCC.

Ado-Ekiti—Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has
called for the trial of the Yobe State Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) Resident Electoral
Commissioner (REC), Abu Zarma, over the N15 million
bribe he was alleged to have received to influence the
Yobe State governorship election.
The governor said doing otherwise, will make nonsense
of President Muhammadu Buhari’s avowed fight against
corruption, adding that “If nothing is done on a case as
clear as that of the INEC REC, Nigerians can as well kiss
President Buhari anti-corruption fight goodbye.”
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,
Governor Fayose said it was worrisome that despite the
evidence of lodgement of N15 million into the two bank
accounts of the REC, a few days to the April 11 election,
which was admitted as evidence by the Governorship
Election Petition Tribunal in the state, the REC has not
been charged to court.

May Allah safe us frm boko haram

Goke7:
You cannot be a Nigerian to say this, do you think tinubu lives in Ikeja? I call on everyone to condemn this senseless post

hinwazaka:
I want to use this medium to celebrate and give kudos to the men and women who made this a reality. Please Shekau, keep up the good work, and also please, Ikeja is a nice place to hit. Hurry up and make Tinubu cry.

tundamartin:

Do you think this is open warfare? No, it is being waged underground, hiding among civilians to plant bombs. The Nigeria Army cannot be everywhere at all times!

maupe:
If true, then its a damn shame. The government needs to task the jolly playing Americans to get serious, and start pulling their weight in this struggle, if they truly want to help us meet the President's deadline.

Why tell lies in the first place and further go on to tell more lies by hoarding the information?
Spill the beans and let her do her reality check now as a stitch in time saves nine.
You never failed her but she failed herself so why disturb yourself with unwanted guilt?
