Outspoken Enugu based cleric, Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry Enugu has sent out a congratulatory message to Gen Buhari on his victory.

Bola Shagaya to host Aisha Buhari to lavish dinner?

The billionaire business woman was trending on twitter last night and I went to find out why. Apparently, there are reports that she's planning to host a lavish dinner for the incoming First Lady, Aisha Buhari. Bola Shagaya is known to be friends with all government in power. She was close friends with Mrs Babangida, Mrs Abacha, Mrs Abubakar, late Mrs Stella Obasanjo, Mrs Jonathan and now if this report is true, it looks like she's about to enter Mrs Buhari. She's one of the richest women in Africa and recently acquired a private jet. Not a crime to be friends with First Lady though. We all hustle in different ways...:-)

I have Been Jegamycind - by Charly Boy

Article written by Charly Boy. Read below...

I must first congratulate Mr. President, Goodluck Joanatan for his maturity, magnanimity and statesmanship by being the first to congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari on his win at the polls, e no easy sha. Accepting defeat. This is a sign of a shift in the right direction. Nigerians should be proud of the freest and the fairest election ever! Elections in Africa, over time, have come to be a time of despair for contesting candidates, and for the citizenry whose energies at seeking decent leadership for their  countries have always been a worthless effort.

Buhari's govt may be vicious - Asari says, threatens to go back to the creeks

Ex Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo says the emergence of Gen Buhari as the President of Nigeria in last Saturday's presidential election may signify the birth of a vicious government which may maim and murder the voice of the minority ethnic groups in Nigeria. Asari expressed his fears in a statement released by his spokesperson, Rex Anigoro yesterday April 1st.

"The conditions that advanced the need to embrace the creeks have been sadly re-energised. It is clear that a vicious government who may maim and murder the voice of the so-called minorities may have just been birthed. Indeed integration is non-existent as regional gang-ups and supremacy is symbolic with this victory" the statement read.

Girl born with 'elephant trunk' deformity is worshipped like a god in India

A baby girl born on March 26th with a facial deformity is being worshiped in India like a god. Villagers near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh in India, have flocked to see the 'divine' girl with the deformity resembling an elephant's trunk in the belief she is an incarnation of the elephant-headed god Ganesha.


According to Asian News, doctors told the villagers the girl's condition may well be a genetic mutation. The newborn's aunt, named as Rajani, told the news agency: "My sister-in-law gave birth to a girl and her face looks exactly like Lord Ganesha. Everybody is saying she is an incarnation of the god. This is why whoever hears about her is coming here to get a glimpse of the baby and are making whatever offerings possible."

Asian News reports that doctors said they will examine the girl to find out the extent of her condition and whether they need to operate. Doctors said the condition could be a genetic mutation triggered by malnutrition and increased pollution.
