Chaii... Gunmen attack Kogi Prison, Frees over 140 inmates

A new report on Daily Trust has said that unknown gunmen launched an attack on the Koton-Karfe Federal Prison late Sunday night freeing over 140 inmates and leaving one person dead and two injured.

A detachment of armed soldiers arrived the town, hours later, it was gathered that the attackers had concluded their mission and fled.
A terrified resident of the town told Daily Trust on telephone that there was power outage and many people had put on their generator sets but when the gun fire started, the town went silent as residents scampered to safety in the nearby caves while others were holed up in their homes.

Some residents who attempted to come out find out what was going on were said to have been shot by the unknown gunmen. “The attackers appeared to be well coordinated because they were all over the town sending people back into their houses who attempted to come out,” a resident said.
The peaceful town was thrown into panic by 10pm with heavy gun shots which continued for more than two hours before armed soliders came.
The rampaging gunmen had left with unspecified numbers of the prison inmates after freeing others.

Same Religion Ticket is Dangerous – Maj.-Gen. David Jemibewon

Maj.-Gen. David Jemibewon (retd.), former Minister of Police Affairs, and some other concerned Nigerians have warned against the same religion ticket for presidential and vice-presidential candidates.

According to the Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, Mr. Razak Atunwa, while speaking to Punch, said;

“What we should concern ourselves with is who can do the job and who is popular and can deliver certain things. That is on that basis; but nonetheless, I am a politician. However much I believe that things should not continue to divide us, I must be sensitive as we have majority, in my view, who is calling for that balancing of the two religions in the choice of presidential candidate and the vice.
“In order not to create uproar and a condition for such a diversity that may threaten Nigeria system, I think any political party will do well to cater for, as much as it can, the various sensibilities and sensitivities of the nation. And that include whether or not you are talking of north/south divide, or religious divide.”

Jemibewon on his part said that in a civilised society where religion, ethnicity or tribe were not major factors for political offices, same religion tickets might not matter, but Nigeria, which is yet to mature to that level, caution must be taken on same religion tickets.
What is your take on this same religion ticket in the coming election?

Disappearing Act??? Isn’t Uche Jumbo Pregnant?

Its not like I enjoy prying into other people’s business, but concern and curiosity, left me wondering what happened to Uche Jombo’s baby bump, the bump seems obvious in some photos and seems to totally disappear in some other photos.

Uche Jombo, who married her boo, Kenny Rodriguez on May 16, 2012 in the Caribbeans, is supposedly carrying their first child.
Recently, during a movie premiere, Uche Jumbo’s baby bump, was no where to be found, and a lot of rumours have been flying here and there about the true condition of her pregnancy.
Look at the photo above, the one on the left is older than the one on the right – Is it possible that the bump is neatly tucked in, somewhere in that purple dress?

I Hate That I’m Extravagant – Pasuma Wonder

Renowned Fuji Star, Odetola Wasiu Alabi, aka Pasuma Wonder, in a recent interview with Hiptv, the Fuji artiste, spoke of his life, career and one thing he wished to changed about his life;

According to the man, who has made good success in the world of Fuji entertainment;

“I don’t want to rush into marriage, because if you rush in, you rush out. I already have kids out of wedlock. When the right time comes I would think about marriage, but for now, its not in my plans.”

And on one thing, he would like to change about himself, Pasuma, whose first daughter is a 23year old serving corper, said;

“If I have a chance, I would want to change my extravagant way of spending. If I have two million naira today, it would finish today, yet I can’t state the tangible things I did with the money. That’s how bad it has become. That’s the way I was created. But in my next world, I’ll want to spend less and save more”.

Lot of folks, have this problem but is it a problem that increases with one’s earnings or what?

Boko Haram: Senior Officers Arrested for Fleeing Mubi

An injured Lieutenant Colonel, and six military commanders, have been arrested by the military for withdrawing from Mararaba, Michika, Madagali, Mubi and later Vimtim when Boko Haram insurgents launched attacks on those communities last week.

According to a source who spoke to Punch, “one of them, a Leutenant Colonel is receiving treatment at the MRS in Yola for serious injuries he sustained when the car in which he was escaping with somersaulted several times.”

“Some of those arrested were at Mararaba, Madagali, Michika and other locations. I think the military leaders are saying that the soldiers did not resist the Boko Haram when they invaded the place.”

It was gathered that, the military authority is of the conviction that enough weapons and men were deployed in Mubi and other locations to frustrate the any attack by the insurgents, but the “tactical withdrawal” of the soldiers from their positions was nothing but a “display of indiscipline and cowardice which would not be tolerated.” – And when the Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen Chris Olukolade, was contacted, he said;

“Anyone found to have undermined the ongoing operation will face appropriate sanctions and this is well known to all military personnel.”

The course, according to its listing, “Hopes for students to understand the role black feminism plays in culture as well as everyday”.

Why I Don't Rap in English -Olamide

One of Nigeria's most talented and successful rappers,Olamide has opened up on why he doesn't rap English. When asked by City people magazine ,he explained why he choose to rap in Yoruba

Se Ema San Wo Mi (will you pay me for that) (laughs). Like I have always said, if I want to listen to an English rap, I will rather buy a Jay Z CD, because “no Oyinbo wey una go speak for here for Naija wey go fit be like people wey get Oyinbo”. I still believe in indigenous hip-hip and I believe it is the future of Nigerian music.
