Kaka leaves Milan

AC Milan have announced that Kaka will leave the club after agreeing to a mutual termination of his contract. The Brazilian returned to San Siro last summer after a disappointing spell at Real Madrid, but was unable to prevent the Rossoneri's decline as they missed out on qualifying for European football.

He has been strongly linked with a move to his homeland or to Major League Soccer and Milan have now confirmed that they will go their separate ways this summer. "AC Milan announce that they have today terminated the contract of Kaka by mutual agreement," a club statement read. Sao Paulo vice-president Ataide Gil Guerreiro claimed on Monday that the 32-year-old would return to his first club before making a move to MLS outfit Orlando City.

Kaka scored nine goals and set up eight others during his solitary season back at Milan, with whom he had previously won the Champions League.

Kosovo club makes bold Suarez offer

Uruguay and Liverpool star Luis Suarez has been offered an unlikely safe haven from his Fifa ban by Kosovo Superleague outfit Hajvalia.

The forward has been suspended from all football activity for four months and banned for nine competitive international games for biting Giorgio Chiellini, meaning that he cannot appear for club or country until November at the earliest.

However with Kosovo not an official member of Fifa, club president Xhavit Pacolli is prepared to make an ambitious offer for Suarez, hoping that such a loophole will tempt the Liverpool man to serve his ban as a Hajvalia player. "Suarez can't play in the next four months," he told Sport Plus.

"As we are not part of Fifa yet, I think he can play in Kosovo, so we have an offer that we will send to Liverpool. Pacolli has readied a bid of €30,000 in addition to a monthly salary of €1,500 to tempt Suarez to play in the Balkan nation temporarily.

"This is the maximum that we can offer," he added. "This might sound ridiculous to him, but that is all we can do. "If he is willing to come and play for us, he is welcome. As we are not part of Fifa, it would be ideal for him."

Balotelli 'has more fame than game' - Cannavaro

Former Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has criticised current Azzurri forward Mario Balotelli, claiming the AC Milan star's fame outweighs his contribution on the field.

Cannavaro led his nation to World Cup glory in 2006 but their two subsequent forays in the competition have ended prematurely, winning only one game from six and crashing out at the group stage on both occasions. After Italy's elimination this summer, slipping out after a controversial defeat against Uruguay, the former Juventus and Real Madrid star offered a parting shot at Balotelli, who mustered only one goal in three outings in Brazil. "[He has] more fame than game," Cannavaro told SporTV.

"He is very famous, but this may be due to the fact that he has played for Inter, Manchester City and now plays for AC Milan, and not because he has done extraordinary things on the field, like Neymar, Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben are doing now in the World Cup. "In football, the name does not matter, only winning. What is important is what you do on the field. Until now, Balotelli, who has extraordinary potential, has not expressed it."

Balotelli was credited with playing a leading role in Italy's push to the final of Euro 2012, most notably thanks to his double against Germany in the semi- finals, but he has scored only 13 times in 33 internationals.

Manchester City rival Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in race for Sanchez

Manchester City have asked Barcelona to keep them abreast of developments on the situation of forward Alexis Sanchez as the Premier League's elite clubs consider bids for the Chile international, Goal understands. Arsenal, as exclusively revealed by Goal on Saturday, head the list of interested parties, with Liverpool and Manchester United also monitoring Sanchez's future. But City are considering a big- money move themselves, despite facing a £49 million spending cap this summer as a result of the fine handed to them by Uefa following Financial Fair Play transgressions last year . That has prompted a rethink in City's transfer strategy, with the club now considering a cut- price move for a defender to free up cash to spend on Sanchez after having already signed Porto midfielder Fernando for £12m. Porto centre-back Eliaquim Mangala is still very much in the Premier League champions' thoughts, while they also weighed up a £25m move for Roma's Mehdi Benatia. But manager Mauricio Pellegrini believes a move for Davide Astori, the 27-year-old Cagliari and Italy centre- back, for around £6m could supplement the free transfer of Bacary Sagna and make more financial sense allied with a move for Sanchez. And with Pellegrini currently in Brazil working for television station TV Chile and based close to the national team's hotel, he could be ready to use his privileged access if given the green light by Barca. The future of Yaya Toure could also play a part in any bid for Sanchez, with the Ivorian's future up in the air at Eastlands. Yaya has claimed City did not allow him time away from a club trip to Abu Dhabi following the end of the season to be by the side of his brother Ibrahim, who died of cancer earlier in June. Toure's advisor, Dimitri Seluk, also suggested the midfielder was unhappy with the club's failure to acknowledge his birthday, and talks between the club and player have been scheduled after the 31-year-old takes a three-week break following his involvement in the World Cup with the Ivory Coast. And should Barcelona consider a swap involving Suarez and Yaya Toure, the wheels of a move could be greased more swiftly. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United could all provide serious competition for the 25-year-old's signature, though, with all three ready to meet the asking price of around £32m. With a quartet of big Premier League sides interested, and Juventus also in the hunt, Sanchez could be involved in the key transfer saga of the summer.

Mikel: Fabregas signing won't force Chelsea exit

John Obi Mikel does not believe Cesc Fabregas's arrival at Chelsea will see him forced out of the club, adding that he is keen to stay at Stamford Bridge. The 27-year-old joined the Blues in a £28.4 million deal earlier in June to become Jose Mourinho's first major signing of the summer ahead of the imminent arrival of Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid. Mikel made just 11 Premier League starts last season with the likes of Ramires, David Luiz or Nemanja Matic preferred in central roles, but the Nigerian is not looking to leave the club despite the increased competition. "I don't have a problem with the signing of Cesc Fabregas. We have played against each other a lot of times. We don't play in the same position anyway," he told reporters. "Chelsea are my home away from home, my second home. You never know what's going to happen in football, but I'm very happy at Chelsea and I want to remain at Chelsea. "I still have three years left on my contract and want to stay there. I want to congratulate Cesc with his transfer and I'm looking forward to playing with him."

TV Personality Denrele Edun Talks Marriage, Describes His Kind Of Woman

Why haven't you found the right person yet?
I think when that time comes, I will marry. I have been into many relationships. I have dated girls who would want to do anything I tell them. I want a woman who can hold her own.
I don't want a woman who cannot make dialogue with me. I don't want a woman who will want to change me because she should already know whoDenreleis.
I don't want to hear, "my father said you cannot dress like that" I will be like, "Oya, come and carry your witch and go.And return me my bride price before you go".

You wear heels yourself sometimes?
Yes, I wear heels. There is something about heels that gives a woman extra elegance.
Here you are talking about marriage, while people have described you as g*y. What do you have to say?
I'm aware of it. In fact, a lot of people have come with different terminologies for my sexual preference. They have labelled me homosexual, heterosexual.
Some have said I am bi-sexual, asexual. I think I am a sexual outlaw; that is the best way to describe it.
Am I g*y? I am a sexual outlaw. Gbam!

Gunmen Attack Community In Bayelsa, Cart Away Millions Of Naira

Some unknown gunmen reportedly attacked Zion community of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, in Bayelsa State, Southern Nigeria on Saturday, 28 June, 2014.

According to the Commander of the Joint Task Force, JTF, in the Niger Delta, Emmanuel Atewe, the force got reports that the armed militants were from Ekene community in the same local government and that they were shooting sporadically when they invaded the community.

"The hoodlums harassed, extorted money and consumable items from their victims before escaping," Mr. Atewe, a Major General, said.

"The same gang also intercepted and diverted two passenger boats and abducted passengers on board."
It was gathered that one of those kidnapped by the gunmen was a technician working with a communication company, who was on assignment to effect repairs on a faulty community communication mast.

"The gang also carted away the sum of N1 million from the staff of the company," he said.

Mr. Atewe said his troops are currently on the trail of the criminals.

On the illegal oil bunkering activities in the Niger Delta area, the Major General the JTF would deal decisively with vessels and any vehicle deployed in transporting stolen crude in the area.

He also warned owners of vessels, barges and tankers used for illegal oil bunkering activities in the Niger Delta to withdraw such services from oil thieves.

The Commander threatened to henceforth blow up any vessel involved in oil bunkering in the area.

He accused vessel and truck owners of renting them to oil thieves who use them to siphon and convey stolen crude oil within Niger Delta.

Two Akwa Ibom Kids Set Ablaze In Uyo Over Witchcraft Accusations

Two street kids have suffered severe burns in controversial circumstances in the capital city of Akwa Ibom State, Uyo.

The victims, identified as Namanso Edet-Bassey, 8, and Kufre Effiong, 9, are being treated at St. Luke's Hospital.

According to police report, the children were burnt in an uncompleted building over accusations of witchcraft.

The victims described themselves as homeless kids, who had nowhere to go and who found shelter in the uninhabited house on the outskirts of Uyo.

A video by ChannelsTV showed Namanso Edet-Bassey in a hospital. She said that her parents have separated, so she was abandoned and sleeps in an uncompleted building. The second victim, Kufre Effiong, calls the street his home.

The duo was rescued by a Sister from a local Catholic Convent. The Reverend Sister has also made a formal report to the police.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Etim Dickson, confirmed he was aware of the report that some of the children were tagged as witches. He also expressed optimism on finding and prosecuting those responsible.

"The name the children mentioned; we had to go to the village. The village head was looked for, brought to the station and he denied that he did not know the suspect. We are still looking forward to seeing those who treated those children in that manner," he said.

Kidnappers Threatened To Cut My Mother’s Head, Send It To Me — Bayelsa Commissioner Speaks

Bayelsa State Commissioner for Lands and Survey,Mr. Furoebi Akene, yesterday, described as 'unsettling' the continued search for his aged mother,Madam Patimi Akene,abducted, penultimate week, by gunmen at Fonibiri in Southern Ijaw local government area of the state.
Akene said the kidnappers, who initially demanded his resignation, later demanded N30m ransom which they reduced to N10m.
He described as worrisome the kidnappers threat to cut off the head of his mother over his refusal to accede to the ransom demand.
Akene spoke in Yenagoa when a group of journalists, politicians and other professionals, under the aegis of The Parliament, called at his residence.
He said though the threat was made on telephone, he was not going to be intimidated.
"One of the kidnappers, who claimed to be the leader of the gang, threatened to kill my mother. He said he will cut off her head and deliver it to my house at INEC Road and the body at the village. Because of the difficulty at getting me to agree with their demand, they have stopped calling me to discuss ransom," he said.
Akene noted that because of his uncompromising stance, the kidnappers have started calling his younger sister to demand the ransom.
He reported that the younger sister pleaded that they collect a million naira but the kidnappers declined insisting that such sum is not enough for fuel and feeding of the kidnapped septuagenarian.
Akene recalled that when the news of the abduction got to him, he abandoned the World Surveyors Conference he was attending in Malaysia.
"When they demanded that I resigned from the present administration as the condition for my mother's release, I told them that I am not a man out to sacrifice his mother for position," he recalled.
According to him, they allowed him to speak with her as a proof that they were holding her.
"They allowed me speak with her twice. The first time, she told me she was okay and I asked her if the kidnappers are Ijaws, she confirmed that they are. On the second occasion, they made my mother cry as a means to convince me of their seriousness. She was crying and begged me to secure her release and give them the money.
"They asked me to pay them the ransom. I told him I will not pay as I am not owing them. The last text I received was, 'You have lost your mother'.
Madam Patimi Akene, was abducted without any gunshot and whisked away by armed men numbering about six from her home close to the Ofonibiri community waterside at about 12 am penultimate Saturday.
The Bayelsa State Police Command, through its image maker, Alex Akhigbe, DSP, assured that they were on the trail of the gunmen but declined further comment.

Passengers Of Missing Malaysia Airlines Most Likely Died Of Suffocation, Latest Report Reveals

More than 100 days since Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 carrying 239 passengers and crew disappeared on 8 March, 2014, shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing, a new report has revealed that the passengers and crew of the Boeing 777 most likely died from suffocation.

According to the new report released by Australian officials on Thursday, 26 June, 2014, the passengers and crew of the ill fated flight mostly likely died through suffocation and coasted lifelessly into the ocean on autopilot.

In a 55-page report, the Australian Transport Safety Board outlined how investigators had arrived at this conclusion after comparing the conditions on the flight with previous disasters.

The report narrowed down the possible final resting place from thousands of possible routes, while noting the absence of communications and the steady flight path and a number of other key abnormalities in the course of the ill-fated flight.

"Given these observations, the final stages of the unresponsive crew/hypoxia event type appeared to best fit the available evidence for the final period of MH370′s flight when it was heading in a generally southerly direction," the ATSB report said.

Australian officials also added that based on all the evidences they have gathered so far, the plane most likely crashed farther south into the Indian Ocean than previously thought, leading them to announce a shift farther south within the prior search area.

Investigators say what little evidence they have to work with suggests the plane was deliberately diverted thousands of kilometers from its scheduled route before eventually plunging into the Indian Ocean.

'It is highly, highly likely that the aircraft was on autopilot otherwise it could not have followed the orderly path that has been identified through the satellite sightings.'

The search was narrowed in April after a series of acousticpings thought to be from the plane's black box recorders were heard along a final arcwhere analysis of satellite data put its last location.

But a month later, officials conceded the wreckage was not in that concentrated area, some 1,000 miles off the northwest coast of Australia, and the search area would have to be expanded.

"The new priority area is still focused on the seventh arc, where the aircraft last communicated with satellite. We are now shifting our attention to an area further south along the arc," Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss told reporters in Canberra.

Truss said the area was determined after a review of satellite data, early radar information and aircraft performance limits after the plane diverted across the Malaysian peninsula and headed south into one of the remotest areas of the planet.

The next phase of the search is expected to start in August and take a year, covering some 60,000 sq km at a cost of $56 million or more. The search is already the most expensive in aviation history.

The new priority search area is around 2,000 km west of Perth, a stretch of isolated ocean frequently lashed by storm force winds and massive swells.

Two vessels, one Chinese and one from Dutch engineering company Fugro, are currently mapping the sea floor along the arc, where depths exceed 5,000 meters in parts.

Ghana's President Reassigns Sports Minister, Deputy Over World Cup Exit

Following Ghana's Black Stars early exit from the ongoing 2014 FIFA World Cup holding in Brazil, President John Dramani Mahama has reassigned the country's sports minister and his deputy to other ministerial duties.

It could be recalled that a talented Ghanaian squad that included AC Milan's Michael Essien and Al Ain's Asamoah Gyan failed to advance beyond the group stage after losing to the United States and Portugal and secured a draw with Germany in their group.

According to a statement released from President John Dramani Mahama's office on Saturday, 28 June, 2014, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah would become a junior minister at the presidency.

Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Joseph Yammin was also reassigned to be a deputy minister in the Ashanti Region.

The statement said the moves were "part of ongoing changes in (Mahama's) administration."

The west African Nation's exit from the Mundial was overshadowed by drama off the pitch as the Ghana Football Association, GFA, expelled two of their highest profile players, striker Kevin-Prince Boateng and troublesome midfielder Sulley Muntari from the team's camp prior to their final group match against Portugal.

Ghana went on to lose to Portugal 2-1, hence their ouster from the world cup.

Explaining why the two players were expelled from camp, the GFA stated that Muntari, who has a history of disciplinary problems, had assaulted a staff member and Boateng insulted coach Kwesi Appiah.
Boateng, one of the stars of the 2010 World Cup finals when Ghana reached the quarter-finals, has come out to deny the allegation.

BOKO HARAM: Cameroonian Soldiers Arrests 50 Nigerian Businessmen

The Cameroon's military authorities said they have arrested 50 Nigerian businessmen who are allegedly supporting the dreaded Boko haram sects.

This development is coming two days after it was reported that the Cameroonian soldiers killed 10 suspected members of the Islamist group.
The Wednesday killing, according to the Voice of America, took place in Mora along the Cameroon border with Borno State.

The military said, in addition to killing some of the militants, it confiscated vehicles, a large number of weapons, and detained dozens of Nigerians on suspicion of aiding Boko Haram.

On June 24, it was reported that theMilitary of Cameroon reportedly arrested 40 Boko Haram suspectsin the country north and sealed off the market, where the dreaded sect militants are allegedly hiding weapon they use for their deadly operations.

The spokesperson for the Cameroonian military, Colonel Chioka Pierre, told theVOAthey had been conducting sweeps as part of an intensified crackdown on persons behind violent incidents in Cameroon, believed to be connected to the Islamist insurgents.

He said they had been searching border villages to prevent incursions or to stop militants from using the country as a hideout or launching pad for attacks.

According to him, local residents are cooperating with the military to root out Boko Haram suspects in the area.

There have been reports of strange faces seen in the border villages and residents said they were afraid Boko Haram might be recruiting young, unemployed people in Cameroon.

It will be recalled that It was reported that theboko haram terrorists were snatching young boys from Cameroonian schools located around the border with Nigeria and were forcing them into the sect, which caused fear among the people.

According to a Cameroonian, Bipong Dennis:"We are seeing most of our graduates every year having no jobs. Tell me, if somebody comes and proposes a high sum of money to join this organisation, most youths are desperate, they will be forced to do everything to get into these extremist activities".

Military spokesperson, Colonel Didier Badjeck, acknowledged Boko Haram had become a serious threat in northern Cameroon and said the security situation in northern Cameroon was getting worse and the terrorist group was a threat in terms of recruiting young people, killing, looting and stealing.

Nigerians In The North Make, Buy Small Arms To Fight Boko Haram

More and more people in the three troubled North-eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe are ordering what passes for bulletproof clothing, buying homemade muskets and organising ragtag militias, Wall Street Journal reports.

Nigeria may soon witness vigilante groups of "new generation". They will be different from the 'Civilian JTF' (Volunteer Vigilance Youths' Group). The new groups will be better equipped, as the residents are gathering weapons to defend their territories from terrorists.
Vigilante groups went looking for suspected militants after the attack on Giwa Barracks, March 14
New York's Council on Foreign Relations estimates that over 14,000 people lost their lives in three years due to Boko Haram insurgency. All in all, the unrest lasts since 2009.

The people are extremely tired of it. Their move to protect themselves is explained by endless suicide-bomb attacks, killing sprees and mass abductions of boys, girls and women.

Another aspect is poor progress made by the Nigerian Army against Boko Haram sect.

Failure to bringover 200 GGSS Chibok schoolgirlsback to their homes, even with the help ofa British spy plane,US dronesand satellite data, made the ordinary people believe that only they alone are responsible for their fates and for defeating Boko Haram.

So the locals are gathering their own armies. Three biggest vigilante groups deepen cooperation. The WSJ estimates that over 11,000 members are among their members.

They are no longer equipped with just machetes, table legs or sticks. Group members get barrel-loaded shotguns cobbled together from car parts and scrap wood from local gunsmiths.
Boko Haram has declared a hunt for weapon specialists, killed some of them in the village of Damboa, where some traditions of rifle-making existed for decades.

However, the treasurer of a gunsmith's guild, 90-year-old Mustapha Kabuke, was lucky to escape death by relocating to a nearby village.

The old man has his five apprentices, who know how to assemble a musket. The group is full of orders, since vigilantes started mass procurements of guns.

Kabuke keeps his prices as low as possible, a bit more than N8,000 ($50) for a musket, "so that every person will have a gun to defend himself".

Another person, who helps vigilantes to get better equipment, is a 74-year-old bean farmer from Maiduguri, Maina Bulama. He stitches thick leather amulets into tank tops customers wear beneath their shirts. He learned this craft from his ancestors, who like him sewed Islamic prayers into the product for divine favour.

"I can't even tell you the number of people I've given these to," Bulama said to journalist.

At the same time, the Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, thinks that the more arms the population gets the bigger the problem grows.

He fears armed militias and vigilante groups could "end up becoming the Frankenstein monster that will consume us" and his administration is doing its best to avoid it.

It would be noted that Boko Haram suffered the biggest defeat in the past several months in the town of Rann in Kalabalge LGA of Borno State, when200 Boko Haram terrorists were killed by defending residentson May 13-14, 2014, showing how self-defence may be more effective than military.

We Don’t Know Location Of Missing Girls In Borno, US Declares

Contrary to earlier reports, the United States of America declared on Friday, 27 June, 2014, that it does not know the where-about of the 219 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State, northeastern Nigeria.

It could be recalled thatno fewer 276 students of Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State were abducted by members of Boko Haram on 14 April, 2014.Though some of the kidnapped schoolgirls reportedly managed to escape the insurgents after their abduction, 219 of them are still being held by the Islamists terror group.

Few days after the girls' abduction,leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, said, in a video posted on the internet, that he would not release the schoolgirls except for an exchange of some of 'his brethren' captured by the Nigerian soldiers.

The Nigerian federal government led byPresident Goodluck Jonathan, supported by the international communities, had since stated they are not going to negotiate with the terroristson the matter, promising to ensure that all the missing girls are brought back home.

Speaking on attempt to rescue the schoolgirls from their abductors, Reuters reports that Pentagon spokesman, Rear Admiral John Kirby, told newsmen on Friday that it had decreased its surveillance flights in the search for the missing 219 schoolgirls

According to the report, the spokesman also added that their overall effort was unchanged due to more flights by other countries.

Kirby stated that it had no idea of the location of the girls, noting however that there is no letup in the efforts to locate and rescue them.

"We don't have any better idea today than we did before about where these girls are, but there's been no letup of the effort itself," the spokesman told reporters.

Kirby said the same level of effort was being sustained now through international involvement.

Kirby denied a suggestion that US flights over Nigeria had been reduced to accommodate increased US surveillance over Iraq, where Washington is flying unmanned and manned aircraft to gather intelligence about Sunni insurgents.

He said some of the resources that were being used in Nigeria had been diverted from other missions in Africa and could now be used elsewhere on the continent.

US military personnel are in Abuja helping to coordinate the effort, and some 80 others were sent to Chad in May to support the surveillance operation.

Chad is northeast of Nigeria and borders the area in which Boko Haram is known to operate.

Also speaking on the matter, a US defence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said American flights had been reduced only after a body of intelligence had been gathered and that the cuts had been offset by the British and the French support.

The defence official said surveillance alone would not lead to a resolution. "It will take the Nigerian piece of the equation with their own sources and human intelligence coupled with the other forms to really understand the picture," he noted.

In an opinion piece in the Washington Post on Friday, President Goodluck Jonathan said his government and security services had "spared no resources, have not stopped and will not stop until the girls are returned home."

But it's been anything but a smooth build-up for the Bayern Munich midfielder, who suffered no less than three thigh tears last season.

Tiwa Savage Allegedly Descends On A Staff At The Murtala Mohammed International Airport

Top Nigerian Songstress, Tiwa Savage is in the news again and this time it has nothing to do with herraunchy music video, 'Wanted'but it has to do with her reaction to a situation that recently occurred in Lagos.

According to Punch:

At the Murtala Mohammed International Airport last Monday, Saturday Beats watched how Tiwa descended on a member of staff of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company who she said was "rude" to her.

The Eminado crooner, looking chic in her black and white ensemble, was seen arguing and quarrelling with the NAHCO staff and her action drew a little crowd.
The NAHCO lady was unfazed by Tiwa's fame and didn't allow her to intimidate her as she told the people around that she wasn't rude to Tiwa.

"I was not rude to her. I only told her to go and board since she had checked in her luggage. I wonder how that could mean that I was rude to her," Saturday Beats overheard the NAHCO staff saying.
Not giving the lady another look, Tiwa eventually entered the boarding gate alongside her colleagues.

Tiwa and some other Nigerian artistes, Saturday Beats gathered, were on their way to Mauritius on board an Emirate flight.

Meanwhile it will be recalled that in February 2014, it was reported that Tiwa Savage who was angry at a policeman for stopping her car was said to have humiliated and assaulted the policeman by removing his police cap during the argument which led to her arrest.

Tiwa Savage is, however, presently in Los Angeles to perform with Davido and a few other African acts at the BET Live event this weekend.

Speaking about the often discussed and rumoured affairs with actresses, he said they happen by mutual agreement, Nigeriafilms reports.

"If I like you, if you agree, fine; if you don't, I let you be. If you want a favour from me and you give yourself to me, I won't reject it. It's a normal thing and it takes the consent of both parties."
Bishop also touched upon the topic of gay relationships, which according to him have become rampant in the Nigerian movie industry.

The actor shared how he once was harassed by a male:

"I have once had an experience with an actor who is now a producer. He came up to me, told me he liked me, my physic and all that. After a while, he said he wanted to see the size of my manhood. I said for what. I thought he was joking, but subsequently, when we hang out or go for shooting, he would try to touch me in a romantic way. So I warned him and it ended."

It would be recalled thatPresident Goodluck Jonathan has recently signed the bill outlawing same sex marriages and civil unions, the law provides for harsh punishment for the violators, up to 14 years of jail.

PHOTO: This Woman Incited Her Younger Brother And His Friends To Kill Her Husband

A 23-year-old woman, Blessing Ede's younger brother and his friends stabbed her husband to death following an argument over baby-walker.

Trouble started last year December, when after an argument, the deceased, Mr. Isaac Ede, 36 asked his wife to go and stay with her parents in Uvuru, Imo State and should remain there until he sent for her to return to their home in Port Harcourt.

Daily Sun reports that he did not contact her until April, 2014 when he called her on phone to come back and pack her things out of his house.

In May, the woman returned to Port Harcourt to do her husband's bidding. On that fateful day at about 11p.m, she came to the house with her younger brother, Emmanuel Anuforo and two of his friends to pack her belongings out of her husband's house.

As she was packing her things, she wanted to take along the baby-walker and an argument ensued between the couple. In the heat of the argument, her younger brother and his two friends descended on the husband and stabbed him with a sharp broken bottle and he died.

Emmanuel and his friend were said to have fled the scene, leaving his sister behind. She was alter arrested by the by policemen from the State Criminal Investigation Department of the Rivers State Police Command as neighbours raised the alarm.

During interrogation, Blessing admitted having an argument with her husband but said she didn not send her brother and his friends to kill him.

"I didn't send my brother Emmanuel and his two friends to kill my husband. It was the devil. We have been married for two years. I have one child for him and right now I am six months pregnant. I cannot explain what led to the death of my husband. It was impatience that led to it. I want the family of my husband to forgive me for what I have done. With my six months pregnancy I will suffer if I am sent to prison for murder," she said.

The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Tunde Ogunsakin said, based on the findings of detectives investigating the matter, the wife was a troublemaker.

Oyegun Reveals Why APC Accepted PDP's Victory In Ekiti Governorship Poll

Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress,APC, on Sunday revealed why the party decided to accept the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP victory in the just concluded Ekiti State Governorship election.

Speaking to Vanguard in Benin City, the Edo State capital, Oyegun said the party admitted defeat in order to forestall any negative or violent reaction from the people of Ekiti.

The national chairman, however, disclosed that the party would challenge the violation of the fundamental human rights of its members before, during and after the poll.

He said that Nigeria needs a change in government, pointing out that it would be very difficult for the country to survive another four years under the PDP, if things remained like this.

According to him, there were so many unanswered questions in the just concluded Ekiti governorship election, and went ahead to urge Nigerians to embrace APC as the new party with a different agenda that can transform the country for the better.

"We are presenting our party as new, and different. We have done the studies as people who truly care. There is no way we can prove it to you because we have never ruled this country, but we can tell you to look at our states. We are not pretending to be angels. Politics is not a seminary, neither is it the Papacy, but what is important is what one is doing with the lives of the people. That is what is critical.

"Are you restoring hopes to their lives are you making their lives better? If not for themselves, do they believe that the lives of their children will be better? Are your policies concentrated on improving their lives? Are the sectors working in the interest of the ordinary Nigeria? Do we have power, do we have quality schools, do we have security, and do we have jobs? Can we continue in this kind of state? I have told people who are ready to listen that this country cannot survive another four years of PDP administration. There is no way it can survive it, so we need people who have plans to start taking care of these issues, and that is what the APC represents" Oyegun said.

The national chairman alleged that a lot of people who were not suppose to be in Ekiti State on the day of the election were all there, why party chieftains who had reasons to be there were barred from entering the state, adding that the party would challenge that action.

"Ekiti election, to some extent is still a mystery. It still has aspects that we are trying to unfold but the first point is, because we are a party of change, because we are a party that wants to show Nigerians that there is a different way of doing things, that the party doesn't have to be bitter, in-spite of all our reservations, the governor was advised to concede, inspite of our reservations for a lot of reasons" Oyegun said.

It would be recalled that the APC candidate who is the incumbent Governor of Ekiti State, Fayemi Kayode, was defeated by Ayodele Fayose of the PDP in the just concluded governorship election.

Meanwhile, the party had last week hinted that it wouldproceed to court to challenge the Ekiti governorship electionwhich they alleged was was not free and fair.

ABDUCTED GIRLS: Escaped Chibok Girl Narrates How She and Others Manage To Escape Boko Haram's Den

Another Chibok girl who escaped the boko haram sects' den after being kidnapped withover 200 girls by the terrorists on April 14 in Borno statehas revealed how she and eight other girls managed to escape and how they were treated by the sects.

Schoolgirls who have escaped from Boko Haram kidnappers in the village of Chibok, sit at the Government house to speak with State Governor Kashim Shettima in Maiduguri on June 2, 2014.

The escaped Chibok girl revealed to Leadership how the sects divided them(Chibok girls) into three different camps on their arrival at the forest.

She said:"When we got to the Sambisa forests they decided to divide us into three groups and each group was asked to go to different direction of the forest".
We were taken to the camp from where we were able to escape. We never saw the other girls in the other two camps till we managed to run back home,"she told Leadership.

"Some of them were speaking to us in harsh tone, but others will tell them not to be harsh on us; all of them were holding guns, and many use to cover their faces. They asked us to always sit very close to one another; each time we hear the sound of an aircraft, they would ask us to quickly go under the thick shrubs and trees that no one can spot us there; and the plane will come and go without sighting us".

"We didn't run in the night. It was towards evening when we went to fetch water; about five of us planned to run that day, but when the time came one of us was not nearby, so we bolted off and ran until we got to a certain spot where we hid under some thick shrubs. There we waited to see if the fifth girl would join us, but she never did. So we had to wait till when it was very dark before we crept away and ran till day break.

We ran into a Fulani nomad who hid us in his house, then later assisted us to escape further by showing us the path we had to take back to Chibok; from there we got to a village, near Chibok and a man who saw us quickly took us into his house and hid us for some time so that the people there would not know we were there, because according to him some of the Boko Haram informants in the village might want to harm us if they found out we were in the village."
Its been about over 70 days since the abduction of the girls and although some were lucky to have escaped the Boko haram sects captivity others are still missing.

Earlier this month, some of the escaped narrated their ordeal.

On June 7, it was reported one of the escapedChibok girls in an interview revealed her shocking ordeal when she was abducted of how she was raped 15 times by 15 men.

On June 4, another abductedChibok schoolgirls who managed to escape from her abductors who held them hostage in Sambisa forest revealed what the camp looks like,that they were taken to were all trees and shrubs, with no buildings for shelter.

Meanwhile the Boko haram sects are said to be reportedly fleeing Sambisa forest to areas across Borno state, according to one one of the insurgents, Kolo Mustapha over what they believe isspiritual attack as they are being attacked by mysterious snakes and bees.

No fewer than 70 suspected Boko Haram members fleeing into Sambisa where killed by the Nigerian Amry on Saturday, June 22following their deadly attack on three villages in Borno.
