New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suggested during a speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention that Hillary Clinton was to blame for the kidnapping of hundreds of schoolgirls in Chibok by Boko Haram. According to him, by not adding Boko Haram to the terrorist watch list, every region of the world has been infected with her flawed judgment and the only solution from the Obama/Clinton team was a hashtag campaign - #BringBackOurGirls. Co-founder of the Bring Back Our Girls Advocacy group, Oby Ezekwesili responded to him via her Twitter Handle. See the tweets below..

The former chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has spoken of what he claimed were the real reasons for his removal on Wednesday. Mr. Jibrin, a former ally of the speaker, Yakubu Dogara, had said that he chose to step down for personal reasons. In a statement he released late Thursday, Mr. Jibrin raised a humongous allegation of fraud against Mr. Dogara. He accused the speaker of attempting to pad N30 billion into the controversial 2016 budget. Read his full statement: I am obliged to make further statement after listening to the full statement of Speaker Yakubu Dogara on why I had to leave as Chairman Appropriation. It is a fact I went up to the Speaker and told him clearly I wanted to leave. He confirmed this in his statement but it appeared he wished he had fired me instead of my personal decision to step down. Thereafter I proceeded to my office. I was therefore not surprised when an aide of ...

Eric Avina pictured above is a middle aged HIV positive Malawian man whose responsibility it is to conduct "sexual cleansing" for underaged and also matured women in Nsanje district in southern Malawi.  Avina in his community is referred to as Hyena, a traditional title given to a man hired by communities in several remote parts of southern Malawi to provide what's called sexual "cleansing".  If a man dies, for example, his wife is required by tradition to sleep with Avina before she can bury him.

The smell from a live chicken could help protect against malaria, researchers have found. Ethiopian and Swedish scientists discovered that malarial mosquitoes tend to avoid chickens and other birds. The experiments, conducted in western Ethiopia, included suspending a live chicken in a cage near a volunteer sleeping under a bed net. Last year malaria killed nearly 400,000 people in Africa, the UN says. Infection and death rates are declining but health officials are continuing to look for new ways to prevent the spread of the disease. The malaria parasite, which initially hides in the liver before going into the bloodstream, is carried from person to person by mosquitoes when they drink blood. The scientists, whose research was published in the Malaria Journal, concluded that as mosquitoes use their sense of smell to locate an animal they can bite there must be something in a chicken's odour that puts the insects off.

It was tit for tat at Nsukka in Enugu State last week, when a policeman, Corporal Robert Ugwanyi, was stoned to death for killing a commercial motorcyclist, Mr Festus Onah, shortly after he had come out from a restaurant, where he had gone to eat. Onah, whose skull was blown open by the policemen’s bullet, had his brains splashed all over the area, prompting a spontaneous attack on the policemen by passers-by and other onlookers. Before the incident, residents of Nsukka had been grumbling over the activities of policemen and thugs attached to the state Ministry of Transport, who stop motorists for their “MOT particulars” only to end up extorting between N10,000 and N30,000 from them. The police killing occurred when some policemen attached to a task force set up by the Nsukka Local Government Council, were trying to compel or force traders to relocate to the newly completed Building Materials Market on the outskirts of the Nsukka metropolis. South East Voi...

The federal government says all is set for the establishment of ranches across the country, although land will not be forcefully taken from those opposed to the project. Audu Ogbeh, minister of agriculture, said this on Wednesday while briefing reporters at the end of the federal executive council meeting. Ogbeh said the frequent clashes between farmers and herdsmen had taken a worrisome dimension, saying the development is capable of scaring away foreign investors. “Many more farmers are coming in, including foreign investors, and they stand the risk of being subjected to this kind of humiliation. So, we are talking with ministry of interior that we have to put measures in place,” he said. “In other countries of the world you may have noticed that people live on their farms; you hardly see a farmer who lives in the city. He lives on the farm with his family, you cannot do that here. They will come and take you, your wife and children in the name of ki...
