Leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Front, NDPVF, Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo has said that contrary to the perception in most quarters that the name Biafra which was adopted by the then breakaway Eastern region is Igbo, the phrase is Ijaw. He also noted it was an Ijaw man, who suggested the name at a meeting convened by the late leader of the defunct Republic of Biafra, Chief Chukwuemeka Ojukwu to decide on the way forward for the Eastern region after the 1966/1967 pogrom. Dokubo, who said this in a statement stated that the late Niger Delta activist, Maj. Isaac Adaka Boro affirmed that Ijaw is Biafra in chapter six of his autobiography entitled: Twelve Day Revolution. He further said that the ties between Igbo and Ijaw ethnic groups are inseparable, adding that It was another Ijaw Cardinal Rex Jim Lawson, who first played the Biafran national anthem during the proclamation of independence on May 30, 1967.

Nollywood actress Shan George has called out a Sound City staff who collected N100,000 from her before her new song could be aired on the popular music channel. The problem now is that she paid the money but the guy has been posting her, saying the song is rubbish. Read her words below: "This person Andrew Ameh Ujah alias DRO who works with Soundcity insisted I pay him 100k before he plays a music video I was promoting. This is evidence of that payment (pic above). He has not played the video even once since then.  Wen I asked him what's up, he said my video SUMMER ROSE by JAGA, directed by MATTMAX is a rubbish video that's why he didn't play it.  A video he saw and approved before asking me to pay the 100k? Yet he didn't refund my money. My people abeg what's your take on this?"

Just the way we have heartless women, we also have heartless men...and I condemn both. This is crazy! 49-year-old Muhammadu Igomigoh, a Nigerian who worked as a security guard in the US, shot his Nigerian girlfriend, 44-year-old Nnenna Ogbonna, a licensed nurse and then killed himself during an argument at their home in Middle River, Baltimore USA on Tuesday February 16th.

Detectives found that he visited her home on the day of the incident and the two had argued over finances. ‎ Igomigoh, who had a licensed gun as a guard, shot his girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself

After ten years of entertaining the world, the duo of Peter and Paul Okoye of the Psquare fame might be splitting. Following their online war yesterday, with Paul posting a photo of himself with Jude and replacing Peter with a studio in the said picture, it seems they are finally saying goodbye to the group. Peter, upon seeing the photo reacted as expected, (a child that his lollipop has just been snatched from him) expressed his disappointment with words heavily laddened with tears . He probably did not expect that his own twin would take sides with another person. See his post below:

Oh dear!...where did love go, where did sincerity go, where did submission go? Bishop David Oyedepo said it months back that some ladies no longer respect their man and that is the major cause of divorce. I'm not taking sides with Pastor Chris, because I do not know what happened between them behind closed doors, but a woman who is submissive to her husband as instructed by the word of God that she is preaching and already has grown up children for the man will not take this as her last resort. Sadly, it's over! Pastor Anita is now officially divorced from Pastor Chris. See the statement... By Attwaters Jameson Hill, lawyers for Anita Ebhodaghe (formerly Anita Oyakhilome): “We have been requested by Anita Oyakhilome to confirm that on the 8th February 2016 a decree absolute was pronounced in the High Court of Justice Principal Registry of the Family Division dissolving her marriage to Christian Onehirokpeana Oyakhilome.  Anita Oyakhilome would like t

That's the world for you today, you are forced to think and talk in certain ways or you get in trouble... Respected boxing champion, Manny Pacquiao has been fired by Nike as a brand ambassador just because he disagrees with the idea or a gay marrying a man or a lady marrying a woman. Nawao! Here's the statement from Nike: "We find Manny Pacquiao's comments abhorrent. Nike strongly opposes discrimination of any kind and has a long history of supporting and standing up for the rights of the LGBT community. We no longer have a relationship with Manny Pacquiao."

This lady was arrested by the police in Kenya after her movement was suspicious and some policemen asked her to show her baby's face. To the surprise of the officers, she was found to be carrying weeds disguised as a baby. She has been detained, answer questions. Hmmm...criminal mind!  Source: Kenya Alerts

Such evil act can only be visited on this innocent 3yrs old boy by a disgruntled lady who lacks passion for her job as a teacher. She's probably into teaching because of money, hence she has no love for kids. The person who shared the photos online disclosed that the teacher flogged this little boy like a criminal just because he did not tell her that he wanted to use the toilet, but did it on his body. I wonder the kind of characters some schools employ as teachers these days. See more photos... ...the parents of the little boy are seriously angry!

While lovebirds all over the world took time out to profess undying love and treat each other to an unforgettable day, Iranians were banned from taking part in any valentine celebrations. The country says the move is in a bid to crack down on 'decadent western culture'. Police released a directive warning retailers against promoting 'decadent Western culture through Valentine's Day rituals.' Police told Tehran's coffee and ice cream shops trade union to prevent any gatherings in which men and women could exchange Valentine's Day gifts or they could be found guilty of a crime.

Meanwhile in Indonesia officials and clerics banned young Indonesian Muslims from celebrating Valent

Nigeria's Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, has advised police officers against marrying more than one wife and bearing many children they cannot cater for. Arase gave the advice while addressing officers and men of Ekiti State Command, during his visit to the state on Friday morning. "Stop marrying too many wives. Bear only the number of children you can cater for. Some of you have wives in your commands but when you are transfered, you arrive in your new commands and marry another wife and start a new family there. This is mostly among the men and I think you should stop."he said

Abeg this man should leave story, what will he say that Nigerians don't know already? Oya talk! Former aide-de-camp to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Col. Ojogbane Adegbe has said something more than the DasukiGate may be imminent if he's made to reveal what transpired in the government. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) picked up Col. Adegbe on Wednesday in Lagos where he was interrogated before he was later flown to Abuja. It was gathered that ongoing interrogation of the former ADC by operatives of the EFCC could open up a new can of worms, which “could surpass what is now called Dasukigate.” In December 2015, SSS arrested Jonathan’s National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki and turned him over to the EFCC over his role in the $2.1billion arms purchase scandal. The money, meant to purchase arms for the military fighting insurgency in the North-East, was allegedly diverted by the office of the NSA as 2015 campaign funds for P
