Chibok Kidnap:Abducted school girls spotted in military coloured vehicles around Gwoza-BBC reports

Almost two weeks after they were driven away from their boarding school in the town in the middle of the night, there is no sign of the over 187 abducted girls.
According to BBC,
A resident of the small town of Gwoza in the remote north-east said on 25 April she saw a convoy of 11 vehicles painted in military colours carrying many girls.
This will be of little comfort to the parents as it suggests at least some are now even further from home, close to the Cameroonian border.
The fact that Islamist fighters from the Boko Haram group are still able to move across parts of Borno state in convoys points to the severe limitations of the current military strategy.Continue..

First born girls are more likely to suceed

Whoop!According to a new study conducted by the University of Essex, girls who are first born are more likely to succeed and be acheivers..They took a cue from some of the world's most powerful and successful women  like Miss Atinuke, J.K. Rowling, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and BeyoncĂ©.
Lead researcher Feifei Bu said:
 ‘There are several possible explanations for the higher attainment and ambition of the eldest.It could be that the parents simply devote more time and energy to them – it could be they are actually more intelligent. For me, I tend to lean towards the theory that parental investment is possibly at work here.’
They are 13 per cent more ambitious then firstborn sons,But firstborn boys – such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W Bush – were next in line for success.

The report – Sibling Configurations, Educational Aspiration and Attainment – followed 1,503 sibling groups and 3,532 individuals through the British Household Panel Survey and its successor, Understanding Society.

"Nigerian men should know being romantic isn't about money"-Toke Makinwa

When asked by Nigerian Tribune if Nigerian men are romantic ..Toke said '
"I think they could do with a little bit of help, but on the average they try. People need to understand that being romantic doesn’t equate with money, you don’t have to spend money to be romantic. Nigerian men believe that in other to be romantic, money has to be  involved or maybe it is the women that make them feel that way, but I think romance is all about the little things and the joy that  they bring.
 Who is your kind of man or you are one of those who love to date men in limelight?
A God-fearing guy, a guy that  is fun, someone with a kind heart, just like the guy I married

Angela & Prince in SA days before the scandal
Recently, news filtered in that Nollywood actress Angela Okorie was involved in a theft scandal in South Africa which saw her get arrested and detained by the South African police.

Here's her account of what happened plus pictures of her in South Africa with Muma Gees's husband Prince Eke below:

"I left Nigeria for South Africa to shoot my movie, Nwa Abakaliki in South Africa on Monday April 7 2014 with Prince Ekeh, Muma Gee's husband. I paid for his flight and accommodation from Port Harcourt to Lagos and from Lagos to South Africa. Then at a point, I decided to move to a hotel so as to give him space and a friend of mine called M.K said I should come over to her place at North Gate Estate where I can pay less for my accommodation because she has a 3 bedroom flat.  
So I moved in and met a friend of mine called Prosper who is actually one of my biggest
fans in her place. But he was also living in a separate room with the lady. As time went on, this guy started disturbing me for sex. He said he liked me and would not mind having an affair with me. But I told him I am married with a child but he would not let me be. It got to a stage he went to hire a car to take me around so as to aid my production but I never gave in to his demand for sex.

Here is the powerful message Prophet T.B. Joshua passed on yesterday, Sunday 27th April 2014 in his church concerning the abducted schoolgirls in Borno State:
“They have to be released. That is the voice of God. I saw a vision where some of these girls have escaped and they are trying to find their way from the forest to the town. In the midnight, some of these girls ran away. The ones that are still under their custody – God said He will release them. This is the voice of God. God has spoken – these children must be released. We can’t wait to see them. God has marked them that nothing should happen.  
The family members of the abducted schoolgirls - your pain is our pain. I learnt many of
the parents are in the bush. Please come back home. It is not your battle alone but the battle of all people of God all over the world. They are also our children.  
We are in a spiritual battle. God has promised all of them will come out free, without harm and hurt. However, if there is unnecessary confrontation, it may affect them. Continue..
