hi!

Please do not wear sandals to job interview!

Basket mouth should never come here and open his loud mouth to insult the next president of this country. Because he had a choice... Was he not one of those singing with GEJ the other day..

Empero1:
Showmanship !

That is a old picture, before he was selected to be co runner.

eph12:
What's wrong with the question? Assuming its your daughter won't you be interested in if the guy your daughter brings home can take care of her?

Well, my daughter will be working, which I expect will complement their household income.

shizzle11:
ARRANT NONSENSE!

Is this the WAEC certificate?

It is common knowledge that Buhari got into the military via quota system

#buhariwhereisyourcertificate?

So, if he got in via quota system. Is quota system not approved by the government? He has been able to prove his mental ability by obtaining a diploma at US war college. So let it rest!

mikeansy:
please what does APC's broom represent?

I believe it represents strength in Unity. It simple to break a single broom stick but difficult to great a bunch of broom sticks.

So what is wrong with him censoring who post on his twitter, after all he does no know you personally... If Nairaland can prevent certain u(useful) information from being published on this site who are you to complain.

Moreover how is this of importance that it made FP.

He reported that there's been little change in the situation over the last few hours.

"It's pretty quiet. I'm relatively close to the building where the suspects are said to be and we can see police snipers occasionally race across the roof of the building. Obviously there's a huge police presence. All the children from the local schools have been bused out of the area.

15:50 - More on the link between the three hostage takers

A gunman holding hostages in a Paris kosher supermarket on Friday knew at least one of the suspects in the Charlie Hebdo
massacre, a source told AFP.

Amedy Coulibaly, 32, wanted over the killing of a policewoman on Thursday, is thought to be the man holed up with hostages in the grocery store at the Porte de Vincennes in eastern Paris.

At least two people have been killed in the stand-off, a source told AFP.

Coulibaly is believed to have links to Cherif Kouachi, also 32, one of the two men suspected of carrying out the Charlie Hebdo magazine massacre on Wednesday that killed 12.

Kouachi and Coulibaly were seen together in 2010 while visiting another jihadist Djamel Beghal, mastermind of a failed prison break-out plot.

Coulibaly was convicted for his part in the planned break and was well-known to anti-terrorist police. Charges against Kouachi were dropped in the case.

The man they were trying to break out was Algerian Islamist Smain Ait Ali Belkacem, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002 for a bombing at the Musee d'Orsay metro station in Paris in October 1995 that left around 30 injured.

Police released a mugshot of Coulibaly and his wife Hayat Boumeddiene, 32.

13:27 - "We feel safe, there's so many police"

Michel Carn, local resident who lives just across the road from the industrial zone, has told The Local:

"I feel quite safe and reassured because of all the police forces in the neighborhood."

"I felt a bit concerned at first because my son works in a company that is located just across the road from CTD. I contacted him when I heard the news and he told me he was safe and that the police were on his company's building roof so he is quite relaxed."

13:15 - Police trying to make contact with suspects
The interior ministry has just said the police are currently trying to establish contact with the two suspects, presumed to be the Kouachi brothers, who are holed up in a building, surrounded by police.

Earlier reports claimed negotiations were underway with the brothers and that they had told police they are "prepared to died as martyrs".

It's unclear how much contact the police have had with the two men or whether any kind of negotiations to free the hostage have taken place.

13:05 – Conflicting reports about hostage’s gender

Initial reports suggested the hostage held by the Kuachi brothers was female, but new reports say the hostage is in fact a 26-year-old man who was taken into the print works at gun point.

The Local mayor of Dammartin has been speaking on the radio and said the printing company named CTD Création Tendance Decouverte, would have a maximum of seven employees, with around four in the building at one one time.

During the deadly Charlie Hebdo rampage on Wednesday the suspects are reported to have told one of the female staff that they "don’t kill women". Despite this, a woman was among the 12 victims slain in the attack on the satirical paper.

Here's more from what President Hollande said earlier:

“France is a state. It’s a force, that’s a guarantee. A state with civil servants who act in the name of the general interests… We can see today how useful they are; police, rural military police, judges… who allow for citizens to find protection, response, and be rescued.”

12:45 - Phone contact has been made
The interior minister has said that phone contact has been made with the Kouachi brothers.


12:40 - 'I shook the hand of a terrorist'

Here's more from the witness who came across the Kouachi brothers this morning from AFP.

For Didier the salesman, a humdrum meeting with a client at a printing business outside of Paris on Friday turned into a

run-in with France's most wanted men as he "shook hands" with one of the magazine massacre suspects.

"When I arrived my client came out with an armed man who said he was from the police. My client told me to leave so I left," Didier said, identifying the man he was to meet with as Michel.

"I was in front of the door. I shook Michel's hand and I shook the hand of one of the terrorists."

He said the black-clad man who was wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying what looked like a Kalashnikov rifle told him: "'Leave, we don't kill civilians anyhow'. That really struck me, so I decided to call the police. I guess it was one of the terrorists."

Didier said Michel had closed the door behind him.

The salesman told the radio station he had not recognised the man.

"It could have been a policeman if he hadn't told me 'we don't kill civilians'. They were heavily armed like elite police."

"I didn't know it was a hostage situation, or a robbery. I just knew something wasn't quite right," said Didier.

"I think I am going to go and see my colleagues and play the lottery because I was very lucky this morning."


12:37 - 'War against terrorism not religion'

Here's more from France's PM Manuel Valls said earlier:

"We are in a war against terrorism. We are not in a war against religion, against a civilization," Valls said.

The country has been left reeling after the massacre on Wednesday of 12 people at a satirical weekly magazine by two brothers shouting Islamist slogans.

And as a dramatic manhunt saw police corner the suspects in the small town of Dammartin-en-Goele north of Paris, Valls said it would "certainly be necessary to take new measures" to response to extremist threats.

He said that current policies had resulted in five attacks being foiled since August 2013.

"We knew we could be hit," he said, adding he had no doubt the French would emerge stronger from the incident.

"What are terrorists looking for? To create fear, to pit the French against each other -- and we must be stronger than that."
