BBOG group to march to Presidency on July 8th

The #BringBackOurGirls group is set to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari on July 8, 2015 to hear from him the steps the federal government has taken towards rescuing the remaining 219 Chibok girls abducted over one year now.

Making the announcement at the group’s sit-out yesterday, the leader of the group, Dr Oby Ezekwesili told the group that President Buhari has agreed to meet with them on the stated date, and urged her members to prepare towards the meeting.

According to her, “We will be meeting with the president on the 8th of July. We will have an outline of issues to discuss with the president. We should all be ready for our discussion with the president.”

Recall that Dr Ezekwesili had stated that the group will start off by writing a letter to the government, adding that the group will collate all of its statements and present them to the government so that government will know its stand and the basis for its advocacy.

“We hope to get a different experience. The attitude of government will determine how our engagement will be. The nature of our conversation will be determined by the government,” she said.

The group had also urged President Buhari to bring the issue of the abducted Chibok Girls to an end, by ensuring that they are rescued and end the current security situation of the country.

Also, the chairman, Chibok community in Abuja and a member of the #BringBackOurGirls group, Tsambido Abana Hosea, called on the federal government to conduct a DNA test on the parents of the abducted Chibok girls so as to have a record base.

The chairman, who was reacting to the alleged report that the Chibok girls are being prepared to join Boko Haram, noted that with the results of the DNA in the records of the security agencies, it would be easier to identify and trace the identity of any female bomber.

”I am pleading with the federal government to have a data bank of DNA of parents to compare when a female suicide bomber hits. About four parents called me about this and was asking what we in Abuja were doing about the report by the BBC.”

Robberies In Traffic On Lagos Roads – Woman Tells Her Story (Photos)

This is also an appeal to the appropriate agencies in Lagos and other states to curb the menace of traffic robbery now before these robbers start killing people. 

 

Talent manager Isioma Osaje shares her experience below.

‘I want to give my testimony. 

At 11:30pm two sets of people attempted to rob me in traffic.

I had just gotten off the phone with my mum to say I was in standstill traffic.

When the first set of two guys yelled at me from outside my window to wind down.

Unknown to me she immediately said a prayer for my safe return.

I remember hearing that your best escape was to honk your horn repeatedly.

I put my hand on the horn and didn’t let go. And I called God in my mind to help me.

Immediately I saw an opening in the next lane and swerved in, still pressing my horn. They fled.

5 minutes later three guys came to the drivers side window. Pointing torches into my car.

Same instructions. Wind down give us something. Next thing I see something swing and my window shatters.

At that very minute another space opens on the next lane and I swerve in while honking. They fled.

Many would say I was almost robbed, I say I was saved.

Thank you God for your mercies.

Kylie Jenner Moves Into $2.7 Million Mansion

Kylie Jenner recently insisted that she pays for everything in her life.

And the 17-year old wasn't just talking about new shoes and cosmetics.

Those who regularly watch Keeping Up with the Kardashian online witnessed Kylie saying at one point this spring that she would move out of her family home "the second" she turned 18.

And Jenner is either ahead of schedule or really terrible at math... because she's already moved out!

 

Kylie now resides very close by to Khloe Kardashian in Calabasas, having officially closed on a $2.7 million home in the neighborhood her family helped make famous.

Rocking cropped leggings and sneakers alongside her half-sister, Jenner shared the above picture on Instagram in celebration of her move and wrote as a caption to it:

“Don't you wish your move-in crew looked like mine?”

Kylie's new estate is 4,900 square feet in size and is just one block away from Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian's own Calabasas mansions.

Will Kylie yearn to be closer than 24 miles away from Hollywood?

Might we have another Justin Bieber situation on our hands here, much to the chagrin of Kylie's neighbors?

And how the heck did Jenner pay for this?!?

The answer to that last question awaits:

See Photo: Caitlyn Jenner Moves in Stylish Short Skirt

Over the weekend, Caitlyn Jenner attended a gay pride celebration in NYC,  where she was reportedly the life of the party.

The 65-year-old reality star stuck around in Manhattan and had dinner with some transgender friends.


And here, Caitlyn's New York love-fest continued, as paparazzi followed her around Manhattan, and various media outlets praised her fashion sense.

That's Caitlyn leaving the store owned by famed designer Patricia Field.
The former Olympian is so popular these days that Field literally followed her out of the boutique to thank her for coming in.

Yes, it looks as though Cait (as she likes to be called) is officially the toast of New York.

We'd like to propose that now that all of her kids are grown, and she's going through a time of transition anyway, Caitlyn should stay on the East Coast for good.

After all, she was born in New York State, and as far as we can tell, it's the only way to permanently escape her step-family's big-bootied shadow.

Look, even if Caitlyn manages to hold her place as the richest Kardashian, there's no way she'll be able to stay on Kris Jenner's turf without being pulled back into the drama like Michael Corleone.

That's why we say run, Caitlyn. Run while you still can!

Khloe Kardashian Embraces Tyga and Kylie Jenner

Khloe Kardashian has made it clear that she embraces the relationship between Kylie Jenner and Tyga.

 

Despite controversy swirling around this celebrity couple, Khloe made it clear on Instagram this week that she's on Team Kyga.

 

"A Michael sandwich!" Khloe wrote as a caption to the above image, which features her jumping in to a hug between the rapper and her 17-year old half-sister.

Tyga's real name is Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson.

The youngest Jenner sibling appears prepared to officially go public with her romantic entanglement after making her red carpet debut with her older boyfriend at the MailOnline yacht event in Cannes last week.

Critics have often slammed the pair, mostly due to Tyga being eight years older than Kylie, but also because the artist just seems creepy.

Just last week, Tyga released a disturbing rap in which he sang about wanting to "get inside" of Kylie.

At this point, we must remind readers that Tyga is 25 years old and Kylie Jenner is 17 years old.

New Case of Ebola Confirmed in Liberia by WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday in Geneva that Liberia has lost its Ebola-free status after new case confirmed.

 

Tarik Jasarevic, WHO Spokesman, said a new case was confirmed in Liberia after the country had been declared the first West African nation to be free of the virus in early May.

He said the infection was detected in a deceased person, who was buried in a way that prevents further infections.

“The case showed that Liberia’s surveillance system is working and that even dead people were being tested.

“If there are no further cases, it will take another 42 days to declare Liberia free of Ebola again,’’ he said.

Jasarevic noted that Neighbouring Guinea and Sierra Leone have not yet been able to stop transmissions of the virus that causes the deadly haemorrhagic fever.

According to WHO, more than 27,000 people have been infected and more than 11,000 have died from Ebola in the three West African countries since December 2013. (dpa/NAN)
