"I am an old woman in the play and in real life. I am 73. The society doesn't think older women exist anymore, nobody thinks they feel anything. The people around old women never realize they are going through a turmoil, nobody cares about them. So what I am trying to portray is that it's not over until it is over. That an old woman is still alive in more ways than one, they still have sexual urges, people forget an old woman is human. An old woman enjoys her sexual life more when she no longer thinks about children's school fees, when the children have all gone to their husband's houses or in some cases the boys have married and it remains only the old woman and her husband. It never crosses our mind that these old parents can still get on whenever they like. Do you know that when an old man realizes he is free from child bearing, he becomes promiscuous and they are susceptible to all kinds of diseases. But the old woman is confined to a corner in the house, nobody thinks she is still actually active" she said

"Members of the committee visited the burnt-out structures of Government Secondary School, where the girls were abducted. The receiving party conducted members of the committee round the grounds of the school. The principal, vice principals, matrons of the hostels, as well as security guards and cooks were earlier debriefed by the committee in Maiduguri. The committee later held an interactive session with the Chibok communities on the school premises. At the meeting, Chairman of the Fact-finding Committee, Brig.-Gen. Ibrahim Sabo (retd.), who spoke with misty eyes, said the committee came, first, to sympathise with the parents and other community members over the havoc of the insurgents. He assured the people of President Goodluck Jonathan’s concern about the fate of the abducted students, saying that the President was having sleepless nights. As we gather here today to see you wailing, by the grace of God, we will also gather here to dance and rejoice with you when the girls regain their freedom" it read

elated to see them and asked that their message of hope and belief that
the girls would be found be delivered to the President. He said one of

The detailed report according to sources at the Senate also cleared the NNPC and the Ministry of Petroleum of any wrong doing.

National Conference delegates vote to tax churches, mosques
Delegates at the ongoing National Conference yesterday May 27th
voted unanimously for churches & mosques to pay taxes. The delegates
arrived at the decision after deliberating on recommendations made by
the Committee on Religion.
A delegate representing
Civil Organizations, Mallam Naseer Kura, during the deliberation
observed that most religious leaders in Nigeria are now making a lot of
money from their organizations and so should be taxed
accordingly.
Supporting his arguement, Isaac Ighure a delegate
representing the Nigeria Guild of Editors, in his submission said most
religious leaders had so much money now to buy jets while their
followers are living in abject poverty and asked that they should be
made to pay taxes. "Some people buy private jets when people in their
churches are suffering and living in abject poverty, they should be made
to pay taxes,” he said.
The recommendations to pay tax will be submitted to the National Assembly at the end of
the conference and if accepted by the National Assembly, it would then
be passed into law. Who agrees that religious organizations should pay tax?

Wahala dey o! Rick Ross tattoos 'Rich Forever' on his chin...:-)
Rapper Rick Ross, who is worth roughly about $30million, shared a pic on
his instagram page yesterday showing his new chin tattoo...he tattooed
the phrase 'Rich Forever' on his face...
He's being massively criticized for it with one fan writing "He's not rich enough that he doesn't have to worry about money for the rest of his life. The way he spends it he may be broke soon...the life of a rapper is short lived" but I guess it's a good thing, the tat will remind him for a long time to spend money wisely so he can live up to the phrase on his face. I'm sure he wouldn't want to one day change it to 'Used to be rich!" lol

"It is bad to abuse the President"-Patience Jonathan
While addressing children to mark the 2014 Children’s Day at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja today,the First lady, Dame Patience used the
opportunity to tell Nigerian to desist from abusing the president and
the country..She said..
“It is bad to abuse our country and the President because God has made him the head. The Almighty God commands us to pray for our leaders. We therefore need to pray for the development of our country and the president.Remember that a child that abuses his father and mother is disobeying God’s commandment because the Bible says in Exodus 20:12 that you should honour your father and mother so that you may live long in the land that the Lord your God has given you. The Holy Bible is not referring to only biological parents. Any one that is older than you even for a day must be respected. Let us therefore join hands and rebuild our country Nigeria.”.She also replied the children who handed a letter to her to give Boko Haram...Continue..
Let me thank the children that gave me letter to give Boko Haram. Well, I have received your letter, but I am not the one to give it to Boko Haram because I don’t know Boko Haram and I have never seen Boko Haram. But I will give it to the NSS or Chief of Defence Staff who will submit your letter accordingly.
To my children parliament, thank you for your letter. Thank you for your deliberation. I have received what you gave to me. I will make sure I pass it to the President because it is addressed to him and the other one is addressed to Boko Haram. That is why the two are different.”q
Britain's most dangerous prisoner smeared himself in butter and attacked 12 guards after Asernal won the Fa cup
Britain’s most notorious prisoner Charles Bronson ‘smeared himself in
butter before taking on 12 prison guards’ after Arsenal won the FA
Cup.The 61-year-old Tottenham Hotspur fan, who is branded Britain's most
violent and dangerous prisoner,and serving a life sentence for robbery
and kidnap at Full Sutton Prison in York, covered himself in butter -
supposedly making it harder for guards to restrain him – before going on
the rampage on May 17.He was left with broken ribs after the scuffle..
According to Daily Mirror ,Bronson has spent the last 40 years in jail with 36 of those years spent in solitary confinement due to his 'aggression'.He was first jailed in 1974, aged 22, for an armed robbery on a post office and his jail time has been repeatedly extended for various crimes including taking prisoners hostage.Over the years, he has been involved in at least ten jail sieges and the outbursts have seen him moved 150 times.
He was given a life sentence in 1999 for holding a prison art teacher hostage for 44 hours for criticising some of his sketches.CCTV footage showed him leading his victim around like a dog with a rope around his neck. He has become a prolific artist during his time inside and, controversially, his surreal multi-coloured drawings have sold for up to £1,000 and been displayed in galleries across London.
He once boasted: ‘I’ve had more hostages than Saddam Hussein’

"Last Warning"-Students Flee as Boko Haram sends bloody letter to Adamawa State University(Photo)
The students of Adamawa state University are in fear after they have
received several letters over the past two weeks, from who they believe
are boko haram.Initially they felt it was a prank until the latest
letter which was attached with a pound of flesh and dripping blood.
A source has told SaharaReporters that the letters are believed to be real, coming directly from Boko Haram.
A source has told SaharaReporters that the letters are believed to be real, coming directly from Boko Haram.
The students are now living in fear.Most of those who use the only hostel available to men have not slept there over the past weekend. The hostel, also known as ‘Barde Hall,was nearly empty of students beginning on Saturday evening. Barde Hall, is also popularly known as "256" by many in the student body. It is a popular ‘hang out’ spot for many of the students attending. It is also seen as a safe space, and resting place, that normally has scores of students milling around outside during the academic year. Many of the students did not sleep, or ‘hang out’ at the hostel on Saturday night. It was ghostly quiet.
A student also said that the atmosphere at the hostel worsened on Sunday night. In room A5, a student confided that, he was the only person that slept the night in his room.Another student said that many of the occupants had fled to the nearby town to seek shelter instead, where they believe it to be a much safer place.
Yet, the tension Monday morning picked-up, when students in Barde Hall awoke and found a letter placed on a wall that was written in the Hausa language. The letter, when translated into English, reads, "Last warning."But this time around, it had a pound of flesh clipped to the letter. It dripped with blood, and was described as somewhat black in colour, though looking as if it was not long since this section of human flesh it was cut off.
This caused panic among many of the students at the hostel. The Vice Chancellor according to a SaharaReporters source reportedly insisted that nothing will change with the school's academic calendar. Strangely, the students were told that their exams will be held as earlier scheduled.
As it stands now, many of the Adamawa State University students have packed their bags, and also, reportedly, packing out of the hostel.
The "256" is in a place many of the departing students feel is especially vulnerable, in large part because, physically, it is isolated, and neighbored by bush, with just a few farms located behind the building. In short, for many it is too easy a target with a school administration almost detached from their concerns over whether the threatening letters received are real, or not.

'There are plans to bring down my government' - President Jonathan
Speaking during the 2014 Democracy Day
Interdenominational Church Service in Abuja yesterday Sunday May 25th,
president Jonathan said there are evil people that are trying to bring
down his government and they are the ones behind the violence in
Nigeria, Punch reports.
"You can imagine if this government had not been facing these distractions within this period, definitely, we would have moved farther than this. All these distractions are planned to bring this government down and since they failed, terror will also fail.
“We have been witnessing terror attacks for two years plus, but the Chibok incident has added a major dent on the security of the country. There is nothing God cannot do. With your prayers, our girls will be seen by our security personnel. Terror will not stop this country from progressing. We know that these terrorists are human and they are evil men. Definitely, they are among those we categorise as evil forces.
Forces of evil will never prevail. Forces of darkness will never prevail. I call on all Nigerians, Christians and non-Christians who pray, to continue to pray and I beli

“When we saw the car, unusually packed in front of our house, my brother challenged him. He told my brother that his car had a fault and wanted to repair it.

Just as my brother was persuading the man to leave our premises, he (the bomber) entered the car and immediately he started it. It exploded and killed my brother, his son and his friend.”It was also gathered that the bomber had gone to the viewing centre earlier in the day.

Yet another revolt at 7th Army Division in Borno state
Just a week after soldiers at the 7th Division in Maimalari
Baracks in Maiduguri, Borno state revolted against their former General
Officer Commanding, Major General Ahmadu Mohammed, the
soldiers yesterday May 22nd revolted again at their newly posted GOC,
Brigadier General M.Y. Ibrahim over unpaid allowances and ban on
transportation services, Sahara Reporters reports.
Reports say at about 3pm yesterday, the soldiers gathered together and marched to the new GOC's
office, shooting into the air and chanting "we nor go gree" songs. The
soldiers were demanding for their unpaid furniture allowance which is
N100,000 and other allowances as well as the reinstatement of Okada and
Tricycle means of transportation which was banned by the new GOC. Continue...
The soldiers wondered why Okada and Keke Napep would be banned in the barrack
since its the only affordable means for them and their
families to move around considering the vast expanse
the barracks occupies, and most of them don't own cars.
One of the soldiers told Sahara Reporters “If no okada [motorcycles] are allowed, then our small children have to
walk to school and our wives will walk to market. Are we not suffering too much already?” he said.
At
the office of the GOC, they ordered one of the Army Generals to walk
around the barracks to feel their pain, pushing and shoving him
intermittently.
This revolt is coming just a week after the soldiers in
the Malmalari barracks revolted against their former GOC on May 14th,
shooting at his convoy. He has since been redeployed to a different base
and investigations on the mutiny according to Military heads is
ongoing to ensure the soldiers who revolted are disciplined accordingly.

5 Things Nigerian Women Do That Really Annoy Nigerian Men.... Do you Agree?
Nigerian women too dey form. Yes, there are certain things men do that really bother women, but ladies, here's what you people do that really annoys us:
- 1. When you tell us what qualities you like in a man, but the men you date are entirely different than what you claim you want.
For example, many women date men who are jerks. However, you’ll probably never meet a woman
who will tell you how much they love men who treat them poorly, because it is not socially acceptable to want to be with someone like that. Some women may justify their interest in “jerkish” men by indicating that being treated poorly somehow makes the man seem like a “badass”. However, after a breakup, the same women will typically whine and complain about how there is a lack of good men in existence after dealing with these terrible men.
In this case, the problem isn’t the man so much as it is a woman’s poor taste/judgment of men. Don’t get me wrong. I know terrible men exist, but every woman has the common sense and the ability to wait for a decent guy; when you meet one, you should actually give him a chance. So wait. Good people (both male or female) are so much more worth it for the same reason gold is so valuable: rarity.
- 2. When you try to change a man.
Change in a man occurs the same way evolution does: either a drastic event causes it (mutation in the case of evolution), or it happens EXTREMELY slowly over a VERY long period of time. Unless you are the most patient person ever, I suggest you move on and find someone else.
- 3. You like it when a guy you’re interested in becomes jealous when you receive attention from other guys.
- 4. When a woman acts like a “princess.”
It’s perfectly reasonable to hope (and expect) a decent guy to treat you that nicely, but to go around calling yourself a princess and acting like you’re entitled to be treated that way is just really annoying and sad. Stop it. If anything, you deserve it much less than a girl who is decent and humble.
- 5. When a woman acts/is dependent on a man.

Stealing is not corruption, says ICPC Chairman
The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) chairman, Mr.
Ekpo Nta recently agreed to a statement made by President
Jonathan during his May 4th media chat that, stealing is not corruption.
While addressing members of the Council for
the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, COREN, at the ICPC
Headquarters' in Abuja, Mr Nta said there is a difference
between stealing and corruption and it is wrong to classify theft as
corruption. He said that we should refer back to what we were taught
about
stealing and corruption in school
"Stealing is erroneously reported as corruption. We must go back to what we were taught at school to show that there are educated people in Nigeria. We must address issues as we were taught in school to do".
He likened the misunderstanding of stealing and
corruption to the mindset of the ordinary Nigerian who believes a
roadside mechanic is also an engineer. Really? These people are strange!!!

"I foresaw Borno state govt hand in girl's abduction" Primate Ayodele
Speaking about the state of the nation, the Boko Haram menace and foreign intervention, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, the Founder/Spiritual Head of Inri Evangelical Church, Lagos, in
a press statement released a few weeks ago said the Nigerian govt
shouldn't trust America, that he foresaw Borno state government's hand
in the abduction of Chibok girls and that a sect deadlier than Boko
Haram will rise. Excerpts from his predictions below...
"We are still maintaining that Boko haram leader,
Shekau, will not be captured alive but he will be killed in the battle
front. God said that Boko Haram will be weakened spiritually and then
they will be defeated physically".
"We have said it before that there would be foreign intervention in the fight against Boko Haram. We said it before that Nigerian Government was incapable of defeating the sect all alone. I still foresee Boko Haram attacking major government buildings and high rise buildings around Nigeria. Even Aso Rock is not safe. Boko Haram is not alone in the terror act. There are three major sects involved in fighting the government and what they are fighting for is the disintegration of Nigeria and people sponsoring the programme are within and outside the country and are in President Jonathan's government. Let the Govt take the warnings from God serious on all matters. Nigeria's Vice President, Namadi Sambo must be very careful so they would not sacrifice his office to stabilize the PDP. Continue...
"All of the Abducted Chibok School girls will not be
released by Boko Haram. America knew the genesis of Boko Haram in
Nigeria. Yes they will make some positive impacts but their intervention
will not receive much results"
"I also foresaw the Borno State Government hand in the
abduction of the girls. Boko Haram will be defeated but a deadlier sect
which is now in Nigeria will cause more havoc than Boko Haram".

IG of police MD Abubakar goes on terminal leave
The
Inspector of Police Mohammed Abubakar has been asked to proceed on
compulsory
leave by president Jonathan allegedly because of the rising insecurity
in the country under his watch and police under-performance under his
leadership.
The Secretary to the Government, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim,
issued a letter signed by the president on Monday May 12th asking the
IG to hand over to his immediate subordinate, Suleiman Fakai, who is
the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) in charge of Finance and
Administration.
MD Abubakar became Inspector General of Police on
January 25, 2012. His tenure was supposed to expire in July 2014, as
he's due to retire July 30th 2014 based on mandatory retirement age
after serving in the Nigerian Police Force for 35 years but had applied
for extention of his tenure, but was turned down by the presidency.
Fakai will step in an acting capacity, until a new Inspector General is announced.
I liked Abubakar. I think he brought some sanity to the force. .It was under his leadership that police checkpoints on highways
through which they extorted motorists and other road users were stopped.

Senator John McCain Disrespects President Goodluck Jonathan, Says he Wants U.S. Military Action in Nigeria
In a new interview with The Daily Beast,
Senator John McCain disrespected President Jonathan when he
said American forces should #BringBackOurGirls—even if the Nigerian
government says no.
According to him, if he were the American president, he would already be doing several things to respond to the kidnapping of the over 200 girls by the Nigerian terrorist group that the Obama administration has so far declined to do.
McCain told The Daily Beast Tuesday:
“If they knew where they were, I certainly would send in U.S. troops to rescue them, in a New York minute I would, without permission of the host country. I wouldn’t be waitingMcCain said those measures include prepositioning U.S. special forces to be ready to enter Nigeria and rescue the girls if the opportunity arose. He said that the United Nations charter authorized military intervention on behalf of the girls because their abduction rose to the level of “crimes against humanity.”
for some kind of permission from some guy named Goodluck Jonathan,” he added, referring to the president of Nigeria.
“The United Nations Charter recognized crimes against humanity, this fits into the category of crimes against humanity, and that gives any nation the license if they can to stop a crime against humanity, the same reason we should have if we could have freed the people at Dachau or Auschwitz,” McCain said.

Soldiers revolt in Maiduguri over lack of ammunitions and poor condition
Angry soldiers from the newly formed 7th Division of the Nigerian
Army in Maiduguri today May 14th revolted against their General Officer
Commanding, Major General
Abubakar Mohammed, shooting sporadically in the Maimalari barracks,
which is also home to the Artillery Corps, the Ordinance, as well as
army signals in Maiduguri,
Sahara Reporters reports
According to two soldiers who spoke with SR, emotions ran high
when they saw the bodies of their colleagues
ambushed and killed by Boko Haram men in Chibok, Borno state. The angry
soldiers immediately started shooting into the air, complaining that
their superior have failed to provide
them with adequate weaponry with which to fight the war against the
better-armed Boko Haram militants.
“We the soldiers don’t have the kind of arms and ammunition that [Boko Haram] fighters have. So everyday, they kill our men anyhow, but it is never published in the media,” said one source. The other source also complained that the commanding officers “are too busy ‘eating’ money. And they do not pay our allowances on time. And once [a soldier dies], nobody knows what happens to his allowances again.”
More details on how civilians staved off Boko Haram attack, killed dozens
An update by Dr. Peregrino Brimah of ENDS.ng
More than 35 Boko Haram terrorists were captured. One APC and more than four hilux trucks and several motorcycles were captured from the terrorists.
At the time of this report, about 20 villagers were said to have lost their lives in the fierce, brave battle.
Nigerians in the worst affected regions are seeking the formal right to bear arms and defend themselves. The Borno Civilian-JTF sent this request to Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in a meeting with security agents this month. The ENDS civil activist group also sent a formal request for Executive Authorization of the people to bear arms, supported by the government to defend their territory and hunt and eliminate Boko Haram terrorists. The government is yet to officially respond to the open letter delivered to the State secretary on April 25th, 2014.
In related news, there was Mutiny in the military today as soldiers reportedly attacked a General officer commanding (GOC) of the Nigerian army 7th division, Major General Abubakar Mohammed, who was accused of sabotaging the military mission and not reporting to a particular mission he was requested to. He was said to have fled as he was fired upon when he came to his office at the Maimalari barracks. The soldiers went in pursuit of the commander, whose whereabouts are not known as at the time of this report.

More details are coming in on how the Civilian-JTF, civilian vigilantes staved off a Boko Haram attack and possible abduction in Kalabalge local government, northeast Borno state, near the Cameroonian border.
The villagers who were prepared for the Boko Haram attack had dug out trenches for the purpose. The Rann village, located in the middle of a Boko Haram strong-hold, had been attacked by Boko Haram in the recent past. In that attack they had allegedly acquired two light-weight armored tanks and some AK47 rifles. They refused to turn in this ammunition to the government in an increasingly common response as more villages in the north are determined to take up arms to defend themselves in the current state of deadly insecurity. Continue...The invading terrorists who launched an early Tuesday morning attack on Rann, Shuwa and neighboring villages, were met by a strong and determined villager resistance. Over 200 terrorists were killed. The full number of the dead is not yet known as the villagers ran in pursuit of the escaping and injured terrorists into the bushes to continue their extermination.

A vigilante member told premuim times on phone

Parents identify 4 abducted girls in Boko Haram video, but most still cannot see their daughters
According to Madam Esther, those identified include
two senior students from Askari Uba Secondary School and Wuyo Secondary
School respectively. Both schools are near Chibok. A third girl, whose
name was given as “Abdu Hauwa”, has also been identified by her mother.
The source added that a fourth girl, Adiza Isah, has also been sighted
in the video, making the total of identified girls four. Continue...
A Community leader in Chibok, Allan Manessah, however
says most parents whom he visited in the community were not able to
identify their daughters in the video released yesterday and that he also
visited one of the girls who escaped from the boko haram hideout and
she could not recognize any of the girls in the video. He says his fear
is that the whole video release may be a ploy by Boko Haram leader
to divert attention from the security experts pursuing him for the girls
release.
Meanwhile sources in the Borno state government say the
state government has set up a committee headed by the Chibok Local
Government Chairman to handle the identification of the girls. The
official revealed that the state government plans to assemble
the parents of the abducted girls living in Maiduguri and its
surrounding areas to watch the video at the Government House today to
enable them to identify their daughters.
