The Sad Tale of Nigerian Girls Hustling in Italy (See Photos)

Nigerian girls are being subjected to mandatory prostitution daily in other to survive in Europe. Most of them are victims of human trafficking and never envisaged that they would ever become sex hawkers.

Rose thought she was coming to Europe to study and earn some money with a part-time job. What the Nigerian girl didn't realise was that books would be a distant dream and the work she would be doing was prostitution.

President Goodluck Jonathan, Friday, assured Nigerians that power supply would be stabilised in the next two years.

He made the pledge at the inauguration of the 750MW Olorunsogo II Power Station in Olorunsogo, Ogun State.

The plant was constructed by the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) and it is one of the 10 National Independent Power Plants constructed by the company across Nigeria.

The Nigerian military have announced the recapture of the North-eastern community of Baga, Borno State.

The important border town was taken over by insurgent elements in January after killing residents and burning their houses to the ground.

The Defence Headquarters have, this afternoon, announced their victory over the rampaging insurgents who were said to have suffered high number of casualties in the fierce battle that ensued.

Dear BLOG readers: My boyfriend is always turning down my sexual advances.. should I be worried?

From a female BLOG reader

My boyfriend of six months is a super gentleman who respects women a lot, a trait that endeared him to me but I am getting irritated with his over gentlemanness. I have approached him for us to get down countless number of times but he keeps telling me he wants to respect me and my body and that he has the tendency of loving me less once we have sex. I have understood with him for 3 years now but it's beginning to give me concern. I love this dude I want him to have me, to scatter me, for him to Peter me up and down (his name is peter) but he is refusing. Says I'm his queen. Should I be worried?

You should be! Very very...lol. Men hardly down sex. How much more from someone they 'love'. Turn down for what? Hehe. What say you, people?

"First and foremost, Obasanjo is a father to me. By divine providence and the grace of God, I am the President of Nigeria today. It is not by my strength.
