Muslim clerics in Borno state begin 10-day fasting and prayers for Pres. Buhari's health

Some Muslims clerics in Maiduguri, Borno, have begun a 10-day fasting and prayer session to seek God's intervention regarding President Buhari's health.

Spokesperson of the muslim clerics, Malam Uma Bolori, told newsmen that President Buhari deserves their prayers for helping to stop the incessant attacks by Boko Haram members in their state:

“Our prayer is what President Buhari needs from Nigerians rather than rumors. President Buhari deserves prayers from the people of North-East, for not allowing Borno to go on extinction when almost all the territories in the state were taken over by Boko Haram. We are going to fast, supplicate and recite Holy Qur’an 50 times for improved health condition of our President. Nigerians must rally round their leaders and pray for them, to enable them succeed in steering the affairs of this country"he said

Kenny's Divas witten & produced by Adaslim, directed by Adim Williams

Starring , Pete Edochie, Juliet Ibrahim, Bryan Okwara, Oby Okafor, Ruby Dabbour, Nora Roberts.

Kenny's Divas is actually the first movie to ever feature legendary actor Pete Edochie and Juliet Ibrahim together, coupled with their record breaking kiss which is officially noted as Pete Edochie's first kiss ever since his 30yr movie career.

SYNOPSIS: KENNY’S DIVAS -‐ Prisoners of Pleasure...Intriguing Tales of Tangled Pasts.

BOSS KENNY (Pete Edochie), a jewelry and precious stones merchant sets up an all -‐‑ female Team known as The K -‐‑ SQUAD, for his local and international dealings.

Each of the ladies; KOSSY (Juliet Ibrahim), KOSARA (Adaslim) and KATE (Oby Somina Okafor) has a history of abused past except KENDRA (Ruby Dabbour) who is the daughter of his Colombian business partner.

KELVIN (Bryan Okwara) a homeless child who was raised in Boss Ken ny’s Kapitol Mansion, eventually serving as the Chief of Staff to the Boss, supervises the activities of the Team.

All business operations of the Team are running smoothly and profitably until a crack appears on the walls of Kapitol Mansion; Kelvin and Boss Kenny are caught up in a twisted romantic roller -‐‑ coaster with the Boss’ favorite of the Divas, Kossy, his mistress.

While the relationship between the Boss and his Chief of Staff remain on the rocks, the ladies scheme their various survival tact ics as much as they are overwhelmed by nostalgia while hankering for reconciliations with their abandoned pasts. Boss Kenny faces a dilemma: sustaining the empire that he has labored all his life to build, while not losing the loyalty of his Divas as he b attles for the only woman who is the stream of his emotional stability .

Nigeria's credibility before the international community has improved because of president Buhari- Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama says

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, has said that Nigeria's credibility before the committee of Nations has greatly improved since President Buhari took over office in May 2015.

Onyeama said this when he addressed newsmen in Enugu yesterday February 9th.

"The nation’s credibility before the International Community has improved but I think it is mainly because of the person of the president. The International Community is very impressed with the president’s records so far. He has a track record of real integrity and that is why they are responding so positively to our economic, security and anti-corruption initiatives. So, the strongest brand Nigeria has at the moment is President Muhammadu Buhari” he said

Photo: Nigerian man caught at India Airport with 90 capsules of cocaine in his stomach

A Nigerian man with 90 capsules of cocaine in his stomach was arrested at the the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) Delhi, India, by Narcotics Control Bureau sleuths, on Monday, February 6th. The man, identified as Okonkwo M Tony, was apprehended after he landed at the airport from Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa.

He was admitted to a hospital by the sleuths of the Delhi Zonal unit of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).

Officials said he has ejected 90 cocaine-filled capsules weighing 1.3kg in two days. They said Tony had initially misled the sleuths saying he had come to India for business purpose while carrying a tourist visa.

He was admitted to a hospital and after medical intervention, he ejected the drug-filled capsules. He told investigators that he had swallowed these at a guest house in Lagos and then reached Addis Ababa via Lome (Togo). He was apprehended as soon as he landed here from the Ethiopian capital,” an official said.

The officials claimed Tony was supposed to hand over the drug capsules to another Nigerian national here, whom the agency has been trailing.

Tony has been arrested under provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

This is the fourth case of seizure of cocaine by the NCB in Delhi in the last one month.
They said the method of smuggling after swallowing the drug is not easy to detect as it is hard to identify any concealment inside the body

Court records show that Inmates in a US prison have been breaking out and sneaking back in for years

Back in January 2013, the Atlanta Police Department started investigating inmates "temporarily escaping" from the medium-security US Penitentiary in the city, According to filed court documents (see court papers here), cops believe the inmates escaped through holes cut in the prison fence.

Court records show that officers first noticed a car parked near the prison fence line. The people inside wore ski masks and jumpsuits. When cops approached, the suspects climbed the fence and ran back onto prison grounds.

Inside the car, cops found bottled alcohol, 24 cell phones and two loaded handguns. Late last year, officers discovered two man-sized holes in the fence.

A month later, surveillance cameras were installed along the prison fence, and over the next three weeks, cops watched as inmates escaped to retrieve large bags of contraband. Then on February 3, one inmate's luck ran out. Justin B. Stinson allegedly escaped though the fence and grabbed a large black duffel back filled with contraband. As he was trying to sneak back into the penitentiary, FBI agents arrested him, according to court documents.

The FBI found Stinson with a cell phone, a pair of scissors, two 1.75-liter bottles of Jose Cuervo tequila, two cartons of Newport cigarettes, four boxes of Black & Mild Cigars and some food.

LIB Exclusive: "The police men who harassed and threatned to shoot me have been jailed" African China reveals

On Tuesday, February 7, singer, African China shared a video of a policeman threatening to shoot him while leaving the set of Sound Sultan's music video in Ajegunle, Lagos (read here). LIB reached out to him to explain what transpired between him and the police and what steps he has taken to resolve the issue.

When LIB asked him to narrate what happened he said;

"I went for a video shoot in Ajegunle. While the video shoot was on, a group of area boys came to harass me for money and all that. I agreed that I was going to give them because if I don’t, they may damage my windscreen or something else in my car and you know now, everything has added money and I didn’t want them to damage anything. I wanted to leave with my car the way I came with it and it was actually help I came to render to my friend, Sound Sultan. They were about eighty area boys and they belonged to different groups and cartels and each cartel had their headman. So each of the group presented their boss to me; I asked them to appoint somebody amongst all of them whom I would give the money to. They had a little meeting and later presented a guy they wanted me to give the money to. I told them they should allow me to finish my shoot first. After the music video shoot, I called the attention of the guy and gave him the money. The money became a problem for them and they started fighting. So my boys smuggled me into the car and we were about driving off when from nowhere, a policeman with gun pointing at my car asked me to get down. I called the attention of one of the officers and said I’m African China and I speak for the public here and trust me, I need to get out of this place and if I don’t, you won’t be able to handle this".

When LIB asked him how much he paid the area boys he refused to disclose the amount, saying;

"It is not necessary. The reason why I won't disclose the amount is because now, it is a public thing. When you say it, it attract other to start demanding for more money. This ones were too many that was why I gave that amount of money."

LIB asked him the demands of the police men who prevented him from moving; he said "What else, their own share na"

LIB also asked if the police men mention he should settle them he said' "Yes, they did"

Speaking on the steps he has taken to resolve the issue, African China said he was at the police two days ago and that the police men involved are currently in police custody

"The IG was interested in the case. As I speak with you, the two police men have been apprehended and are in police custody right now at Ajeromi Police Station, Ajegunle. They have been jailed and may be dismissed from the force too."

Mob drag female child killer out of cell and throw her into bonfire (photos)

A woman who was being held in a police cell in Brazil for starting a fire that killed a 2-year-old boy was on Tuesday dragged out by a group of about 500 people who overpowered the police then proceeded to throw the woman into a bonfire.

The woman was dragged along the floor by her hair, all the way outside to a burning car and was forced into the fire. Everyone around recorded the incident on their phones and made no move to help her until the police called for reinforcement and a troop of full military police arrived that the woman was rescued.

The woman allegedly started the fire on Monday in a house with two little boys and four adults. One of the boys died, the other was badly injured. The woman had not been charged or convicted at the time of the lynch but the mob obviously decided to take the law into their hands.

She was taken to a hospital to be treated for her injuries and police are keeping her location secret. Meanwhile, an investigation into the event has already started.
