A mother of one of the abducted Chibok schoolgirl has
identified her daughter in a video posted by Islamist
sect, Boko Haram, which showed dozens of girls in
captivity, a school leader said on Tuesday.
The mother watched the video on television on Monday
evening and spotted her daughter among the girls
sitting on the ground and wearing veils, said Dumoma
Mpur, parent-teachers association chairman at
Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State.
The leader of rebel group, Abubakar Shekau, issued the
video on Monday offering to release more than 200
schoolgirls, who were kidnapped from the school in a
raid on April 14, in exchange for prisoners held by the
government. It was not immediately apparent when the
video of the girls was filmed.
“The video got parents apprehensive again after
watching it but the various steps taken by the
governments and the coming of the foreign troops is
boosting our spirit, even though I have not seen the
any one soldier in Chibok yet,” Mpur told Reuters by
telephone.
The Nigerian government said it was exploring all
options in its effort to rescue the girls. The United
States and Britain have sent experts to help with the
search and Nigeria has sent two divisions to the
northeastern border region.
Here are the bikini photos of the 35 finalists of the
2014 Miss Toursim Nigeria scheduled to hold on
Saturday May 17th at Ruby Garden Event Centre, Lekki.
Yesterday, the hiphop world were shocked when TMZ
released a video obtained of Beyonce’s husband, Jay
Z, and her sister, Solange Knowles getting physical
in an elevator at The Standard Hotel after the Met
Gala.
There's ve been never ending speculation of what
the real cause of the tussle would have been with
none of them speaking out or releasing a statement
yet. However with reports the Beyonce and Solange
attended Kelly Rowland's secret wedding just days
later, speculations were rife that Jay might have hurt
Beyonce who never speaks out. Solange hates the
way Jay treats Bey and wasn't going to take it this
time and that was the reason Beyonce who stood and
watched her sister hit her husband, never interfered
cos Solange was defending her.
A Twitter user shared the screenshot below, claiming
that Solange posted the tweet yesterday, allegedly
giving her reason for engaging in a squabble with
her brother-in-law, but later deleted it.
New video of dozens of abducted Chibok school girls
has been released by Boko Haram. The girls,
numbering about 130, said to be held at Sambisa
forest, a border between Cameroon and Nigeria, are
seen praying in Arabic in the video.
In the video, Boko Haram leader said he's ready to do
a deal to free some or all the girls. He said;
"The girls you occupy yourselves with, we have
liberated them...they are now Muslims. We will never
release them unless our brethren are released. It's been
4/5 years you held our brethren and torturing
them..and now you talk about these girls. Those who
accept the faith, we'll treat them well. We will not
release the girls until you free our brothers"
Abubakar Shekau mentioned that the girls have been
converted to Islam. The girls are believed to be held in
six different locations.
Beyonce's sister Solange attacked Jay Z in an
elevator...kicking, swinging at him and even spitting on
him and it was captured on surveillance video. They
were trying to keep it quiet but TMZ has obtained the
video. How disrespectful Solange! Her elder sister's
husband? And what's with Beyonce not trying to calm
her sister down? Read the full report from TMZ below...
Jay Z was ferociously assaulted by Beyonce's sister
Solange ... who was wildly kicking and swinging at
him inside an elevator ... and the attack was captured
on surveillance video ... obtained by TMZ.
According to our sources, it all went down at a Met
Gala after party last week at the Standard Hotel in
NYC. In the video ... Jay Z, Beyonce and Solange step
into the elevator ... and then Solange goes crazy,
screaming at Jay before unleashing a violent attack. A
large man -- who appears to be a bodyguard --
attempts to hold Solange back, but she manages to
connect at least 3 times. At one point Solange throws
a kick and Jay grabs her foot, but never attempts to
strike her. Beyonce stands by without getting
physically involved. It's unclear what triggered the
fight.
And this is interesting. When you look closely, you see
the bodyguard hit the emergency stop switch on the
12th floor -- mid fight -- presumably to keep the fight
private.
All three walked out of the building together -- Solange
looks pissed -- but while Bey and Solange get in one
car ... security walks Jay to a different one.
Pope took to his twitter account to
show his concern also.
Nollwood actress Mercy Johnson has decided to call
it quits with acting, albeit for the time being as she
nears the delivery of her second child.
This is confirming reports that she’s been rejecting
movie roles because of her pregnancy status, her
Media Aide, Bigsam media, said “she’s off work and
resting”.
Mercy is now in her second trimester.
Mercy threw herself back into the acting world after
the delivery of her first child, Purity in 2012,
shooting over 20 movies in three quarters.
Yesterday, there were indications that the 230 female
students abducted by Boko Haram terrorists from the
Government Girls' Secondary School, GGSS, Chibok,
Borno State, have been sited at the Sambisa Forest in
Borno State, by the Special Forces of the United States
Marines.
This was even as more US military officials arrived
Nigeria yesterday to join local officials in the search
while the UK team had earlier arrived in Abuja to
support Nigerian government in its response to the
abduction of over 200 school girls.
Sources told Saturday Vanguard in Abuja that
members of the United States Marines who are already
in Maiduguri following the promise by President Barak
Obama to assist Nigeria in rescuing the abducted girls,
located the girls inside the forest, using some Satellite
equipment which combed the forest, located an
assembly of the young girls and sent the images back
to the Marines on ground in Maiduguri.
Aside locating the whereabouts of the girls in the
dense forest, it was also, further gathered that one of
the leaders of terrorist group who participated in the
abduction of the girls was arrested by a combined
team of the US Marines and Nigerian forces.
Sources said that the Boko Haram leader was arrested,
through an advanced interceptor equipment which was
used to track the terrorist while exchanging
information with his colleagues in Sambisa Forest
about the movements of American and Nigerian
soldiers in Maiduguri.
His phone was subsequently traced to a location in
Maiduguri where he was arrested and handed over to
the Nigerian military.
The location of the girls in the forest is contrary to
widespread reports that the girls had been distributed
and ferried to the Nigerian border towns in Chad,
Cameroon and Niger Republic.
Senator Ahmed Zanna, representing Borno Central
District in whose Maiduguri home, an alleged Boko
Haram top commander was once arrested told the
Senate last week that he gave the Military an up-to-
date information on how the girls could be rescued,
but lamented that his information was largely ignored.
He spoke against the backdrop of the claim by the
Boko Haram leader, Sheik Abubakar Shekau, last week
that the girls were booties of war, who would be sold
into slavery.
I'm sure by now most of you have seen the
unbelievable video of a young girl being stoned to
death. If you haven't seen it, please don't go looking
for it, it will spoil your whole week.
Anyway, a lot of people have been speculating that it
happened in Nigeria and it's one of the abducted
Chibok girls buried from neck down and stoned to
death. But according to The Minister of State for
Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, this happened a while
back and it didn't happen in Nigeria.
