This rally is happening live in Niger State. The VIP stage carrying 
state governors, ministers and Pius Ayim Pius collapsed about two hours 
ago during a rally in Niger state organized by Transformation 
Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN. When the stage collapsed, the sound was so 
loud that many thought it was a bomb, leading to panic. Many people were
 injured. See more photos after the cut...<br />

Hot or not? This Guy Dressed In Ghana Must Go Outfit

I think he is very stylish.

Bad Guy! How Balotelli slept with a fan and sent her off in a taxi in the middle of the night!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;">A
 smitten Liverpool fan Emma Dalton thought her dreams had come true when
 the Premier League club’s new signing Mario Balotelli took her to bed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The £16million striker flirted with the hairdresser online before inviting her to a party at his luxury rented home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">That
 night Balotelli enjoyed a three-hour marathon romp with Emma, 23 – but 
it soon became clear that starting a new relationship was the last 
thing on his mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">What
 he was after was more of a training session. While they were having s*x
 the £110,000-a-week Italian told her: “This is nice. It helps my 
football.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">And
 when the bedroom workout was over he turfed shocked Emma out of his 
six-bedroom mansion, telling her to take a taxi home in the middle of 
the night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 furious single mum told a friend: “I know he has a reputation but I 
thought he’d changed from the things I’d read. He was charming and as 
far as I know single so I thought, ‘Why not?’ Now I feel stupid,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“I
 should never have gone to his house but what’s done is done. He was 
only interested in one thing from me and then wanted me out of the way.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">To
 add to her humiliation, 24-year-old Balotelli claims he is now trying 
to rekindle his on-off romance with former fiancèe Fanny Neguesha, 24, 
who sparked rumours she is pregnant by him after posting an online 
picture of what looks like a baby bump.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">But
 the soccer bad boy could be red-carded when Fanny finds out he bedded 
Emma shortly after his transfer from AC Milan to Liverpool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Emma sent Mario this picture on her phone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">It all started when Emma sent him a message on social media, says her friend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The pal told the Sunday Mirror: “She only contacted him as a bit of a joke.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">She
 didn’t think for a second he would reply. How many messages must he get
 sent every day? But he did reply and he was quickly sending her 
messages asking for her to send pictures of herself and her mobile 
number to arrange to meet up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“When
 they were talking on the phone, Emma asked him about Fanny. He told her
 they’d split up and that he didn’t have any female friends in 
Liverpool.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 madcap striker also revealed that his new club had warned him to steer 
clear of trouble after his transfer, so he was staying out of the city 
centre.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 friend added: “He said he had to stay out of the Press, not to get into
 trouble like the last time he was in England. He told her he’d matured a
 lot since then.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Within
 days he invited Emma and a couple of female friends to a private party 
at the mansion in the upmarket Liverpool suburb of Formby on September 
5. He arranged to have them picked up from the nearby train station.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">But
 the friend said the group were stunned when 24-year-old Balotelli’s 
friends arrived to collect them in an ageing Vauxhall Vectra and they 
were ordered to hand over their mobile phones before entering the 
property.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The £1.8million mansion boasts a swimming pool with steam room and sauna, swim jet machine and home entertainment room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Once
 inside Balotelli’s pals started serving the girls shots of 
£50-a-bottle Ciroc peach vodka – but it was some time later before Mario
 came down to join them after spending time alone upstairs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 friend said: “Emma told me that when Balotelli did enter the room he 
was very charming. He certainly wasn’t shy and greeted her with a kiss.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“She
 said he was drinking red wine and smoking, which the all the girls 
thought was a bit surprising considering he’s a footballer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“There
 was a large open plan area and they were all sitting around chatting 
and drinking. Then they had a pasta meal delivered to the house.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">After
 a few hours Mario’s pals invited Emma’s friends for a dip in the pool 
while he offered to show her round the upstairs of the mansion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Before long, the pal said, Emma was in his bed. But it was far from romantic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"> "She said he told her, ‘This is nice. It helps my football’,” the pal revealed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Things
 turned sour again when, at around 3am, Balotelli told her she had to 
leave. The pal said: “Emma’s friends had called a taxi and he just 
turned to her and said, ‘You go too’.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“The
 way he did it made her feel really cheap. Like he had just used her and
 was chucking her out. She started asking for an explanation from him 
and his security asked her if she was OK. She said he insisted he would 
call her the following day - but she wasn’t happy at all. She said she 
has never been treated like that before.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Emma’s
 mood worsened the next day when Balotelli called and said he just 
wanted to be “good friends” as he wanted to get back together with 
Fanny.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The friend said: “To her that was his way of saying they had never even split up in the first place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">He had just used her, but obviously she will never know the real truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“She
 felt disgusted at the way he treated her. He had told her he wasn’t 
with Fanny, then when they were in the house together he didn’t mention 
her once. But the next day he wanted Fanny to be his fiancée again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“How often has he behaved like that? I’m sure she would like to know what sort of man he really is.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;">The
 controversy over alleged sponsors of Boko Haram took a twist yesterday 
when Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka said information about a suspected 
financier of the terror group within the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) 
was passed to President Goodluck Jonathan.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,serif; font-size: medium;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Soyinka
 also said he worked “in the background” with Australian negotiator 
Stephen Davis during the Niger Delta militancy crisis, and warned 
against  dismissing his claims on those allegedly sponsoring Boko Haram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,serif; font-size: medium;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 Nobel Laureate spoke on a day a source familiar with Boko Haram 
revealed that some of the school girls captured by the Islamist group in
 Chibok, Borno State, in April, might have been r*ped to death.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,serif; font-size: medium;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">In
 a statement by Soyinka titled, The wages of impunity, he was appalled 
by government’s treatment of people linked with the Islamist group with 
kid gloves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,serif; font-size: medium;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Soyinka
 said: “Finally, Stephen Davis also mentioned a Boko Haram financier 
within the Nigerian Central Bank. Independently we are able to give 
backing to that claim, even to the extent of naming the individual. In 
the process of our enquiries, we solicited the help of a foreign embassy
 whose government, we learnt, was actually on the same trail, thanks to 
its independent investigation into some money laundering that involved 
the Central Bank.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,serif; font-size: medium;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“That
 name, we confidently learnt, has also been passed on to President 
Jonathan. When he is ready to abandon his accommodating policy towards 
the implicated, even the criminalized, an attitude that owes so much to 
re-election desperation, when he moves from a passive `letting the law 
to take its course’ to galvanizing the law to take its course, we shall 
gladly supply that name”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Routine raping?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,serif; font-size: medium;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Meanwhile,
 a  source involved in efforts to free the abducted Chibok girls  told 
Sunday Vanguard, in an exclusive interview, yesterday, that some of the 
victims, who could not withstand routine raping by the terrorists, 
passed on in the early days of their capture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 source explained that it was unfortunate that many of the girls would 
never be reunited with their parents and  loved ones because they were 
no more, contrary to the belief that they were being held up in Sambisa 
Forest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">He
 said that the insurgents had also taken more boys and girls than was 
being estimated, saying that most of the captives were seized 
unannounced by the terrorists.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 source, a  negotiator, said that contrary to the claim in some quarters
  that President Jonathan had not done enough to secure the release of 
the surviving girls, it was actually Nigerians who were frustrating the 
release of the girls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 source accused some Nigerian middlemen, who were using their proximity 
to some of the insurgents, to trade with government over the release of 
the girls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">According
 to the source, many of the negotiators were more interested in making 
quick gains from  government than seeing to the freedom of the children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“Throughout
 our effort to free the girls, many of the middlemen were simply playing
 games for their pecuniary interests. They would come now and tell you 
that they have some of the girls and, when you fix a date and time for 
them, they would never show up again,” the negotiator revealed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“The main problem in the rescue effort is that most of the middlemen involved are not sincere and are just looking for money.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“What
 is happening to the girls is painful because efforts to get them out 
have not yielded any positive result five months after they were 
abducted by their captors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">“As
 a father, I really feel bad about the children and their parents but we
 still hope that those who are still  alive would eventually be freed, 
no matter their health conditions and reunited with their parents.” </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,serif; font-size: medium;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;">Bama
 and Damboa, two towns in Borno State, were recently siezed by Boko 
Haram. As the military seeks to retake the towns, survivors and 
residents recount their stories of horror to Kayode Idowu</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">‘I’m looking for my two wives, eight children’</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you escape from Bama?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I
 was driving in my car when I heard gunshots everywhere. I rushed back 
home to pick my eight children and two wives and I drove towards the 
army barracks. As we entered the barracks, suddenly an Air Force fighter
 jet started dropping explosives. We were caught between the Boko 
Haram’s Armoured Personnel Carriers and the military fighter jets. As I 
opened the door of the car to see how we could escape on foot, a stray 
bullet grazed my head and I was drenched in blood. In confusion, I ran 
but when I saw one of my children running after me, I rushed back to 
pick him up and placed him on my shoulders. When I looked back, I saw my
 car in flames because it was hit by a bomb. My fear is that my family 
could have been killed in the explosion. Up till now, I cannot locate 
them despite several and continuous searches. I think they died in the 
explosion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you get to the camp?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">While
 running with some people, including soldiers, we came to a river which 
we managed to cross and we continued on foot until we reached Konduga. 
The journey took us two days. I paid N700 to transport myself to 
Maiduguri. When I got to Maiduguri, I saw some people who had fled Bama 
and together, we managed to get the attention of some government 
officials who provided buses that conveyed us to Internally Displaced 
Persons’ camps at Yerwa and the National Youth Service Corps orientation
 camp.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">According
 to some government officials, the Bama motor park where we initially 
stayed was not safe as it was on a major highway and the fear was that 
we could be attacked as our number was growing by the hour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How do you eat in the camp?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">We
 are provided with adequate food and shelter at the camp but that is not
 enough for me as it will not bring back my family. Every day without 
them is a nightmare.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Will you return to Bama after the crisis?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">If
 peace returns, I will like to go back to see what remains of what we 
left behind. But my concern is to know if my family members are still 
alive, every other thing comes second.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How do you feel about living in a camp?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I am satisfied with the sanitary condition; we have toilets and bathrooms for males and females.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">— Umar Aisami, 30-yr-old driver</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Some infants died of thirst — Mohammed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you leave Bama?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">During
 the early morning prayer time, there were sounds of gunshots 
everywhere. In confusion, my family ran out and I also ran. We all ran 
towards the army barracks, but there were gunshots coming from that 
direction too. We had to run back towards the river. When we got to the 
river side, the little ones were taken to safety by some swimmers 
because the river was wide. The men among us ran through the bush. On 
our way, we saw bodies of infants who died due to thirst and harsh 
conditions. We saw two corpses. We trekked from Bama to Kawuri in 
Konduga through the bush before getting a vehicle that conveyed us to 
Maiduguri. We slept over in some empty houses in Kawuri and continued 
the journey to Konduga the next day on foot. I was with one of my 
children and a bicycle I was able to retrieve while fleeing. We paid 
N600 to transport ourselves to Maiduguri.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you get to the camp from Maiduguri?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">When
 we got to Bama Motor Park in Maiduguri, I saw many people who had fled 
from Bama. When we saw one another, we all burst into tears and wept 
badly. Then we were told that arrangements had been made for us at the 
NYSC orientation camp and Yerwa Girls Secondary School. It was from the 
park that we were transported to the NYSC camp.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">It was when I got to the camp that the reality dawned on me that I could not locate my family members.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How many are they?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">There
 are 12 of them: eight children, one wife, my elder brother, my mother 
and father. Only one of my nine children is with me. Till this moment, 
it has been hard to sleep deeply because I keep thinking about them. I 
cannot eat well too. Whenever I see people with children, I weep 
wondering what could have happened to my family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How is life in the camp?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">We
 have a place to sleep at the camp. We are given food three times in a 
day but the pains of not seeing my family is telling on my health.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Where do you sleep?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I
 have been sleeping in the open on the parade ground. They have given us
 mosquito nets, mattresses and blankets. Though I would have loved to be
 given a room, my major concern is the return of my</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">We fled as soldiers ran — Abubakar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Why did you leave Bama?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">We
 started hearing gunshots and explosions around 4:20am while some of us 
were praying and others were preparing to join in prayers. We were used 
to the military giving warnings but this time, the sound was quite 
unusual and we came out of our houses with the little arms we had, some 
with cutlasses, swords and other defensive tools. We started noticing 
movement of soldiers from the different roadblocks mounted by the 
Nigerian Army. What was unusual about their movement was that they were 
moving with their baggage which made us suspect that they were also 
fleeing. Then we also took to our heels moving towards the barracks. 
Fortunately, for us, when the insurgents attacked the barracks, a 
soldier took us in his Hilux van and we ran. But while fleeing, he 
rammed the van into a fence and from there we escaped, leaving behind 
the van. Those of us fleeing were about 40. We left Bama around 10am on 
the fateful day and reached a village called Ajiri near Kawuri at about 
2pm. We later moved to Kawuri where we met some soldiers who were 
stationed there. We also met some volunteers who came with vehicles from
 Maiduguri to convey the displaced persons. The soldiers in our midst 
stayed with their colleagues at Kawuri and we moved to Maiduguri. We 
were dropped at a primary school near Bama Motor Park in Maiduguri. We 
slept over there and food was provided for us from well-meaning people 
of the society. From there, the government brought us to the NYSC 
orientation camp.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How do you feed?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">We
 lack no food and we have been accommodated. The food is so much that 
even some have been coming from within the town whenever it is time for 
lunch to eat with us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">What of your family?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I
 have a wife and four children but I am with only one of my children. My
 mother, my wife and three children are still missing. Even though there
 is so much food, I have lost appetite because I’m yet to see my family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">— Abubakar Mohammed, 38</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Everything I worked for is gone — Manjari</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you escape from Damboa?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">On
 that fateful day, I was at home preparing for my next business trip to 
some villages which was to come up the following day. Suddenly, we heard
 deafening sounds of gunshots and explosions. It then dawned on us that 
we were in trouble. On Friday morning, when the insurgents began to go 
on rampage, killing and burning at will, I tried staying indoors 
thinking that women were not targeted but I was dead wrong. The 
insurgents invaded our home and ordered me to take my praying mat and 
leave the house without anything else and from that moment till now, I 
have not recovered because right before my eyes all I laboured for went 
in flames as they set the house ablaze. Thank God, my children are all 
alive but we have to start all over again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Will you go back to Damboa?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Yes,
 I wish to return to Damboa one day to see how I can re-launch myself. 
There is no place like home and mine is not different, Damboa is still 
on my mind.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">— Zainab Bukar Manjari, 50-yr-old businesswoman</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I don’t know the fate of my relatives — Bukar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you leave Damboa?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The
 insurgents attacked our town on Thursday evening. That day, I was busy 
trying to tidy up our house because we were expecting some relatives who
 were displaced from some villages by the insurgents. Then on Friday 
morning, the insurgents came to our house and ordered me (being the only
 occupant) to vacate it, they also instructed that I take nothing with 
me while leaving. I managed to leave the town through the bush path and 
resurfaced around the Mandaragarau area of Biu before help came our way 
from the Biu Local Government Council. After a few days in Biu, we moved
 through Gombe to our final stop in Maiduguri.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Will you return to Damboa?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Our
 stay in Maiduguri is temporary because once our town is fully 
reclaimed, I will not waste time in returning to see what remains of my 
property. My prayers are for my relatives to be alive and safe wherever 
they may be because till this moment, I have not heard from them or 
about them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">My pregnant sister was kidnapped — Grema</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you flee your town?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I
 was doing the usual domestic chores when I heard gunshots from almost 
all directions. It was as if we were surrounded and the residents became
 apprehensive that the insurgents must have come to attack the town. It 
was a Thursday evening. We fled to a village on the Damboa/ Biu road and
 returned the next morning thinking that it was the usual way of their 
operations which would only last for a few hours but we were wrong. 
Alas! On Friday, the insurgents were more ferocious, they went on a 
killing and burning spree which forced us to flee to Biu. We were driven
 by a family friend in my husband’s car to Gombe, then we came to 
Maiduguri where we were able to finally secure an accommodation. My 
greatest worry is the abduction of my pregnant younger sister and three 
children who were orphaned when the insurgents killed their father. We 
left Damboa with nothing but we thank God we are alive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Do you want to go back to Damboa?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I will return to Damboa if the town is secured.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Boko Haram wanted to burn us alive — Bulama</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you escape?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">On
 that Thursday evening when the insurgents struck, I was at my 
neighbour’s house to see their daughter who was ill and suddenly, there 
were gunshots from all directions and people were running 
helter-skelter. There and then, I knew we were in trouble. For close to 
five hours, sounds of gunshots and explosives rent the air and no one 
seemed to know the situation as we all remained indoors. After sometime,
 the firing stopped and we heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the 
insurgent must have finished the business for the day and left but, we 
were dead wrong as they went from house to house checking for males to 
kill. Meanwhile, all I was thinking about was my home and children who 
were also traders at the main market; there was no way for me to move 
out of the neighbour’s house due to the fear of the unknown as one could
 never tell with insurgents who are always unpredictable. As I battled 
with these thoughts of my home, children and the insurgents, we resorted
 to prayers which seemed to be answered, when the insurgents started 
shouting out that, women were not their target and were free to stay in 
the town. I managed to move out after closely watching the movement of 
some women within our area which indicated that the insurgents were 
keeping their words. On reaching home, I met everything turned inside 
out. A few minutes after my arrival, my sister-in-law came in and 
informed me that my two sons had escaped through Chibok disguised as 
women in clothes she provided them with. I felt relieved and thanked 
her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">When did you leave?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">We
 spent the night in great fear but kept on praying. The next morning, 
which was Friday, the insurgents started burning and killing again and 
ordered us to vacate our homes or risk being burnt alive. We had no 
option than to run away, leaving behind all our properties. In fact, I 
left home in a faded dress and headed towards Chibok through the bush 
path on foot and continued the journey to Biu which took me two and a 
half days to complete. I survived on water and fruits. In Biu, I met 
some of our people who had also fled from Damboa and was told that our 
houses were burnt down by the insurgents and it was a painful one for me
 especially, because all my earnings were kept at home that day. From 
Biu, I moved again to Gombe where my sons relocated to, after their 
escape from Damboa; together we moved to Maiduguri before they returned 
to Gombe to start a new life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Have you ever considered returning to your home town?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I
 am grateful for the lives spared and would gladly return to Damboa 
anytime peace is restored to the town because there is no place like 
home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I spent two days in the forest — Zara</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">How did you get here?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I
 went to Damboa for holiday. I am a student of Yerwa Government Girls 
Secondary School in Maiduguri. I had barely spent a week when the 
insurgents attacked our town, Damboa, on a Thursday evening. And it 
became worse on Friday. We managed to escape on Saturday morning. My 
step-mother took us towards Biu through the bush path for two days; it 
was a horrible experience that will forever remain with me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Do you wish to return to Damboa?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">No one will convince me to return to Damboa after what I went through. I am done with the town for now.</span><br />

Amidst the chaos and pandemonium that ensued when a guest-house at 
Synagogue Church suddenly came down crashing in the early afternoon of 
Saturday 12th September 2014, tales of miraculous survival have begun to
 emerge.<br />
<br />
“Thank You, Jesus”, a cry rang out from an onlooker, followed by a burst
 of relieved applause from the crowd of church helpers and rescue 
workers. They had been working non-stop since the giant building was 
reduced to rubble in a matter of seconds the previous day.<br />
<br />
From a tiny hole at the far side of the wreckage, a body was being brought out. “<span style="color: #cc0000;">She’s alive</span>,”
 a man beside me reassured. Straining to look closer, I saw the woman, 
who was being stretchered toward an awaiting ambulance, waving her 
hands. “<span style="color: #cc0000;">God of TB Joshua, you are wonderful</span>,” the rescued lady exclaimed, her voice extraordinarily strong. She had been in the dark, under the rubble for over 24 hours.<br />
<br />
“Bros,” I overheard a worker confiding in his colleague, “if not for 
God, no one should be brought out alive from there.” It was hard to 
disagree with his sentiment looking at the mangled remains of what was a
 six-storey building nearing completion.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“<span style="color: #cc0000;">They’ve found another one</span>,” a cry 
excitedly broke my musing, another cheer reverberating among onlookers. 
Despite the tragedy, the spirit of camaraderie was warming to behold. A 
small child was being brought out of the wreckage alive. “Wait,” one of 
the rescue team cautioned. “Her mother is still inside.” Moments later, 
mother and daughter were reunited...</blockquote>

“One thing you have to understand,” an official of Nigeria’s Emergency 
Management Association (NEMA) official told me on the condition of 
anonymity, “90% of those being rescued were eating or working the bottom
 floor of the building when it collapsed.” He shook his head in 
disbelief. “How they survived beats my imagination.”<br />
<br />
“The situation could have turned out much worse,” another member of the 
rescue team named Sunday corroborated. “If not for God, we could be 
talking of over 100 fatalities.”<br />
<br />
I made my way toward one of the ambulances preparing to leave, hoping to
 catch a glimpse of another survivor. A man in his late 40s lay there, 
wet with sweat, bruised and breathing heavily. The discussion I overhead
 was poignant. “Was I really in that building,” he faintly questioned 
the nurse as she held his hand. “Thank your God,” she quietly replied. 
“We should call your name miracle.”<br />
<br />
During a three-hour visit to The SCOAN, <span style="color: #cc0000;">I 
witnessed no fewer than 30 people brought out of the wreckage through 
the concerted efforts of the rescue teams. All were alive</span>.<br />
<br />
[NEMA officials said over 120 people were rescued alive from the rubble with about 40 deaths recorded].<br />

Sugar Dddies Chase Me For sx – Actress Lydia Forson Reveals

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
Bubbly Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson has revealed that sugar daddies 
used to chase her during her university days at University of Ghana. The
 “Scorned” actress said these old men showered gifts on her expecting 
something in return but she never fell for their tricks.<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6589160015449763735" name="more"></a><br />
Lydia Forson disclosed this when giving synopses for her yet-to-be 
released movie, “A Letter From Adam” on Radio Univers. “Basically I 
wanted to talk about a contemporary love story that is not overly s*xual
 or dramatic but a real love story.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>This movie just explores relationships. The key 
relationship in this movie is an older man and a younger girl. You know 
most times when we talk about these old men, sugar daddies?” She further
 chanted “Legon girls!!  Legon girls!!”.<br />
<br />
This cheer by the actress resulted in the question “whilst you were on 
campus, did any old man come to you?” The actress answered that “they 
will come but it depends on the choice you make.” She added that “if you
 are a girl and an old man has not approached you then there is 
something wrong with you.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
They will come but the question is did you allow?” “If you will buy free food for me why should I <br />
reject it? I like free stuffs but it doesn’t go beyond that.<br />
<br />
I don’t like complicated things” According to the best actress 
award-winner at the 2010 African Movie Academy Award, she never rejected
 the gifts by these men because she did not ask for the gifts but they 
willingly gave it out. “I did not request for it, you gave it and that 
is not a sin.<br />
<br />
So if he is sending a credit I shouldn’t take it? God forbid.” Lydia 
Forson further advised that men should not give gifts to ladies with the
 intention of expecting something in return. “You should not give 
anything to anyone in this world with the intention of getting something
 back. When you do that, it diminishes everything you did.<br />
<br />
So when I see a guy who gives free gifts expecting to get something 
back, I will just take them and you will never get what you want” she 
told Abrantepa, host of the mid-morning show, “Brunch2Lunch”.<br />
<br />
“A Letter from Adam” premieres on September 19 at the Silverbird Cinema 
in Accra. The first self-produced movie of Lydia Forson is a 
contemporary story about love, loss and hopes and will draw audiences 
into a realistic cycle of life seen through the pain of loss, the 
journey of self discovery and the courage and strength to find hope in 
the face of adversity.<br />
<br />
Set in the busy yet simple city of Accra, “A Letter From Adam” seeks to 
give the audience an often neglected truth about love – that love 
doesn’t always come in the form one expects it to.
