These leaders, according to him, include Mr Obasanjo; the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan; Nobel Laureate Wole Soy...

Few people talk openly about  Boko Haram  in northern Nigeria. Even fewer talk  to  them. But in her motherly way, the simple-looking Hamsatu Allamin is fearless and unapologetic. “I talk with Boko Haram even today, and they are open to [a] peace deal,” says Allamin, 60, sitting cross-legged on the floor of a yellowed bungalow, her veil circling her face and spilling down to the gray-green rug. This educator-turned-mediator looks anything but imposing. But she cracks hard ground digging for peace in a nine-year civil war that has killed 20,000 people.   So how can a woman speak to a sect that keeps women silent and slaughters them for not wearing veils? In this war-ravaged part of the country, the answers are retold with a personal bent and remixed city to city. “If that woman is not a member of Boko Haram, they would have finished her,” a friend in the northern city of Maiduguri, Ahmed Abubakar, tells me. “But if she is not one of them, then she must be ...

Everybody was terrified but there was no how we could run becau...

As Tweeted by Reno Omokri after Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state was asked to come forward to explain his source of wealth by APC.

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has asked all Fulani herdsmen residing in the Southern part of the country to vacate immediately if their security is no longer guaranteed. Activities of Herdsmen have come under serious scrutiny after the recent killing of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, daughter of Afenifere leader and a 40 year old farmer in Ogun state. Chairman of Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, who addressed newsmen at a press conference in Abuja earlier today, said the order for the return of the herdsmen  was borne out of the realization that the lives of Fulani herdsmen residing in Southern Nigeria have been put at risk due to the actions and utterances of Southern Governors in recent days. In his words “We are worried about their well-being. If it is true that their safety can no longer be, we rather have them back in areas where their safety is guaranteed.  The bottom line is that their safety is far more important than their stay...

British actress  Lashana Lynch  is taking over from  James Bond  as the new 007 at  MI6  in the 25th movie in the franchise. According to  The Mail , who quoted a “movie insider,” Lashana Lynch is the new character who takes over  Daniel Craig ‘s secret agent number after he left the British intelligence agency. The source says the stories begins with Bond retired in Jamaica before he was called by spymaster M ( Ralph Fiennes ) who calls him back to help tackle a new global crisis. The source continued: There is a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says ‘Come in 007’, and in walks Lashana who is black, beautiful and a woman. It’s a popcorn-dropping moment.

Bond, of course, is sexually attracted to the new female 007 and tries his usual seduction tricks, but is baffled when they don’t work on a brilliant, young black woman who basically rolls her ey...

there has never been more working women in the world than we have today. In fact, according to a World Bank research in 2011, more than half (57%) of Nigerian women between the ages of 15 – 64 years old are in some form of employment. So, the truth is that most women have to work to either support their partners, or to provide for their kids as a single parent. As a result of this, many mums have no choice but to spend long hours away from their little ones. Most mums are often consumed with guilt, because they have to leave their children early in life to the care of either family, daycare/creche, nannies or after school programmes. The truth is your reality requires you to work, so the earlier you embrace your decision, the faster you will find ways to deal with your mummy guilt. If you really had a choice, you’d probably take your little one everywhere with you. But the truth is you don’t; the next best thing is to manage the situation in the best po...

Are you unsure of how to dress for a daytime, afternoon, or evening wedding that you just got an invite to? Here are five common wedding dress codes explained. Resort formal Just because the wedding will be held on or near a beach doesn’t mean wearing a fancy cover-up or flip-flops are appropriate for the event. A summer dress or colourful cocktail dress are both great options for ladies, and a linen suit or khakis and a button-down shirt for the guys will be comfortable and stylish. You should have it at the back of your mind that you may likely be on the sand, so wear fancy flat sandals since it will be nearly impossible to walk in high heels. A morning formal wedding If your friends (the engaged couple) got inspired by Prince William and Princess Kate (Middleton), who had a formal wedding in the morning, there’s a strict dress code for guests to follow. The men can wear a cutaway coat with tails, a vest, and pin-striped pants with a top hat-optional. Another option is a m...

Ordinarily, I would have kept mute with all the name callings but having to drag my innocent daughter was going to the crescendo. The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be rui...

The Fulani socio-cultural organisation in Nigeria, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, has called on President Buhari to as a matter of urgency, arrest former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his recent remarks on insecurity in the country. The group said the former President in his open letter to President Buhari released today July 15th, accused Fulani herdsmen of being the root cause of insecurity in the country. The former President in his open letter, said it is quite unfortunate that criminality has now been attached to the Fulani tribe because President Buhari is from the Fulani extraction. ''The unfortunate situation is that the criminality is being perceived as a ‘Fulani’ menace unleashed by Fulani elite in the different parts of the country for a number of reasons but even more, unfortunately, many Nigerians and non-Nigerians who are friends of Nigeria attach vicarious responsibility to you as a Fulani elite and the current captain of the Nigeria ship.
