  A 23 year old prostitute who specialises in cutting off male organs is being held custody at the Imo State Police Command.Uche Agunta told the Sun “I am a prostitute and I smoke. I have a gang and we specialise in sleeping with men and cut­ting their manhood during sex.  We use the manhood for money rituals. I have killed seven men in the hotel in Owerri. They had sex with me after they have paid me N3, 000 or N5, 000. I would be on top of the man and in the process I would bring out blade and cut off his manhood. I do hand over the manhood to our gang leader. They always promise to pay us N150, 000 for each manhood we could sup­ply, and which they used for money ritual.  I dropped out at JSS 3. I stopped going to school when I lost my fa­ther, but my mother is still alive. I joined a gang where some ladies initiated me into a cult. Our main concern is going after male organ for ritual.  I have given birth to three children. I...

For Monalisa Chinda, relationship “is a two-way affair.’ The actress, who was speaking at the just concluded Pearls International Conference, which held in Abuja enlightened participants mainly women on the importance of “Give and Take” in a relationship. She maintained that in a relationship, both parties are relevant, just as no one can claim to be more superior than the other. “In a relationship, both parties are relevant and no one is more superior than the other. But when we’ve not dealt with our past sufficiently it can find its way into our relationship and ruin it. “Let go of anything that stops you or shuts you down and focus on being a better you. A better ‘you’ will naturally attract a better partner,” Monalisa said.

Widespread anomie prevalent in Nigeria, occasioned by a virtual dilapidation of the societal ethical and moral framework, has literally squelched any social appetite for comparative sociological analysis of any segment of the Nigerian society and a corresponding segment of any foreign country even if that country is Somalia .  Any such study invariably ends as an exercise in rendition of woes, lamentations and pity. Our country once mighty have fallen and is falling. The decay is systemic and deep-seated and widespread . Our political system is heavily infected by corruption and the educational system is strangulated by poor funding. But our education suffers from much more. Teachers groan and moan, deride politicians and claim moral indignation but they are equally culpable for the rot that has beset us. The university of Ghana and the University of Nigeria have so much in common besides being named after their respective countries. They ...

Well, yesterday Santa delivered some screenshots from the tape, which was on a computer that was stolen from Usher when his car was broken into in 2009, for Christmas.

GENERAL Muhammadu Buhari is one of the constants in Nigeria's presidential elections. He started participation in 2003 and he has not missed out since then, returning every four years to answer his name. Two men who ran with him as deputies in the 2003 and 2007 outings are now deceased. They are Dr. Chuba Okadigbo and Chief Edwin Ume-Ezeoke. The principal is much alive and on the verge of a breath-taking fourth attempt at the presidency. He is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the February 2015 presidential election. The last of his deputies is Pentecostal Pastor, Mr. Tunde Bakare. He is the General Overseer and Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly Church and the only living presidential running mate of Buhari. Some people describe him as 'no-nonsense' and 'radical' and a man who says it as it is. Tracking Pastor Bakare to volunteer a view on Buhari was a bit winding, not due to unwillingness on his part but for the fact that the preache...
