Some of these girls in university don't know anything, all they are concerned about is money and s*x. That is when if it takes too long for them to get a man who will give them money and sleep with them they resort to "doing it" by themselves with any object they see, including bottles and now cucumber.

One has landed herself in trouble. Sources says a female student of UNN was trying to do a quickie on herself in the absence of her roommates with a small cucumber. In the course of the action, the fruit broke and stuck inside her private part...

Enraged by the latest attacks on Borno and Yobe by Boko Haram, President Muhammadu Buhari has once again vowed to crush members of the terrorists to the last man.

In what appears to be his toughest expressions of outrage, President Buhari reminded the terrorists of his uncompromising resolve to tackle them with all the resources at the disposal of his government.

“They are cowards who lack any moral inhibition and any iota of humanity to reason compassionately,” Buhari said, adding that they would not find a safe haven in Nigeria because “they would be “hunted down without mercy and compromise.”

The Presidency, through the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, has directed the Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Prof. Mobolaji Aluko, to refund over payment of salaries running into millions of naira.

The Registrar of the university, David Suowari, was also directed to refund cumulatively the sum of N130,692.71 per month in excess of his due salary.

The over payments were said to have been discovered during the commission’s visit to the institution on May 12, 2015 to carry out an inspection of FUO’s remuneration practices vis-a-vis the extant government’s pay policy.

It's people who are broke that are moved by money and they always want to spent to show off. If you are a truly wealthy man, at heart or in your bank accounts, you will just see yourself living a simple life.

Africa’s richest man and foremost business mogul, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has disclosed that despite his huge wealth, he has no residential property outside his fatherland, Nigeria.

Dangote, whose 2015 net worth was put at $21.6billion, according to Forbes, also revealed how the late Chief M. K. O. Abiola discouraged him from investing in the media.

The senior pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja, Joshua Iginla, on Sunday gave out 22 cars and millions of naira ranging from N50,000 to N500,000.

The pastor, who celebrated his birthday and that of his wife at the service, also unveiled 33 books written by him. Presenting the cars, among which were 10 SUV cars to the beneficiaries, Pastor Iginla challenged the well-to-do in the society to assist the less-privileged.

The pastor, who said that he had tasted poverty and knew how it felt, said the less-privileged of today could become important personalities tomorrow.

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered Nigeria’s security agents to arrest his brother-in-law for allegedly extorting money from an unnamed businessman, a close confidante of the Nigerian leader told SR. He said the suspect, named Musa Yola, was the immediate younger brother of Buhari’s wife.

The leadership of the Philippines’ dominant Roman Catholic church stressed its opposition to legalising gay marriage on Sunday despite last week’s landmark decision by the US Supreme Court.

Kanye West's expletive-filled set at Glastonbury caused a storm on Twitter

Kanye West created a storm on social media last night after giving an expletive-filled Glastonbury performance which eventually proved too much for the BBC's subtitle department.

The US rapper put on a rollercoaster headline show of highs and lows which saw a prankster invade the stage and the hip-hop star elevated on a crane above the huge crowds.

But it was his incessant swearing which generated the main talking point - not least because of the amusing gaffe seen by those watching the show with subtitles.

The BBC began by attempting to change various parts of the hip-hop star's bad language but decided to throw in the towel shortly after one of the words appeared as 'motherducker'.

For the rest of his set the subtitle department chose to caption the performance simply as 'He raps'.

West's constant swearing led many people to take to Twitter to criticise the polarising star.

One user, John Colley, wrote: 'This is absolutely pathetic by Kanye West. I thought Glastonbury was meant to be a music festival, not a swearing contest.'

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on Nigerians to pray for President Mohammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC, as his thirty days in government has been very stagnant.

The party in a statement by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said the prayer for President Buhari had become necessary because it was a very unfortunate that having been elected since March 28, he was yet to decide on key appointments such as ministers, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), a Chief of Staff and advisers in key sectors of the economy.

All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, is challenging those accusing him of receiving gratification over the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives elections to prove their claim.

“It is my integrity they are trying to smear”, Oyegun fired back yesterday.

The party leader had been accused of being bribed to conduct mock election that produced Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon Femi Gbajabiamila as the APC candidates for the Senate President and House Speaker respectively.

Some South-West leaders are currently biting their fingers in regret over voting President Muhammadu Buhari into office.The zone is particularly angry with the President, who is the leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for tolerating the outcome of National Assembly leadership election, which did not favour the region.Buhari’s silence according to them is a serious indication that the zone, which queued behind him to ensure victory at the recent polls, may benefit little or nothing from the administration.

Serious? Bukola Saraki The President of the Nigerian Senate Is not Even A Nigerian Citizen

Saraki thinks he's wise, shunned Buhari to get senate president

A leader of the APC, who spoke to Puch on the condition of anonymity, said Saraki was only trying to be clever by half by claiming to respect President Muhammadu Buhari. He said Saraki had boxed himself into a corner by his action and he is now looking for an escape route.

“Saraki is simply trying to be clever by half. He is in a fix and he is trying to justify his illegal actions.”

The APC leader added, “Saraki is bound by the nation’s constitution to read the party’s list without any amendment. If the PDP had sent him their own list of principal officers, will he tamper with it or won’t the PDP send their own list?”

Senate President Bukola Saraki has denied reports that he is nursing the ambition for presidency in 2019, saying he actually quit his presidential bid in the 2015 election for President Muhammadu Buhari.

Saraki stated that he contributed immensely to the emergence of Buhari as President and contributed greatly to his victory in the presidential election held on March 28, 2015.

It is very unfortunate that people hardly go into marriage these days with only God on their agenda. They do all sorts and employ all kinds of diabolic means to control you, make you abandon your parents, etc.

Here is one of such crazy story. A middle-aged woman, Sophia Arapogun, has prayed an Agege customary court to dissolve her 11yrs marriage because her husband, Patrick, abandoned her for two years.

Mrs. Arapogun, who lived with her husband and his six children from his previous marriage, said he never asked her how she fed.

For President Muhammadu Buhari, the emergence of a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member as deputy Senate President in the current dispensation is nothing short of a setback for his administration.

He is irked that some members of his own party, All Progressives Congress (APC), conceded the position to Ike Ekweremadu when the PDP never gave that much all through its 16 years in power between 1999 and last May.

But Mr President is optimistic that the APC will overcome the setback.

...unto service for the good of the society.

Buhari making mistake; how can you entrust the President's life to the military?

In this interview, a security consultant and former Director of the Department of Security Service, Mike Ejiofor, speaks on the implication of withdrawal of the DSS personnel from protecting the president.

Do you think the army has the capacity to provide close body protection for the president?
It is a laughable question because, on one hand, the president is directing that the military check points be withdrawn to perform their military duty. How can you now entrust the life of the president to the military when there are people who are statutorily charged with the responsibility? Whether the ADC was given the directive, he doesn’t have the authority and capacity and I stand to be challenged.

With the mayor of Dayton declaring "you are now husband and husband," the wait for Ohio to allow same-sex marriage ended for a gay couple in the city just as it is ending for couples across the last states with bans on such unions — even if the opposition isn't over.

Some couples rushed to marriage license bureaus and even wed Friday within hours of the Supreme Court ruling that said gay couples can marry anywhere in the country including in the 14 remaining states with bans. Steadfast activists who say traditional marriage is defined as a man and a woman vowed to defend rights of religious objectors and to try to battle back politically.

Pregnant Kim Kardashian goes braless in black see-through dress

She made a quick pit stop at bespoke lingerie shop Rigby & Peller the day before, but Kim Kardashian preferred to go commando as she left her London hotel on Saturday afternoon.

The 34-year-old, who is currently pregnant with her second child, revealed a little more than she bargained for by opting to go braless in a see-through ensemble.

Turning heads as she passed by, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star confidently lapped up the attention as headed off to Glastonbury Festival via helicopter.

Suicide bomb rips through Kuwaiti mosque after Friday prayers killing at least 25 worshippers as ISIS claims responsibility

At least 25 worshippers have been killed today after an Islamic State suicide bomber struck at a packed Kuwaiti mosque after Friday prayers.

Shocking photos show dozens of dead and wounded Muslims who were all observing the holy month of Ramadan in the Al-Imam al-Sadeq Shiite mosque in Kuwait City.

Witnesses said worshippers were standing shoulder-to-shoulder in group prayer when the bomb ripped through the building.

The Supreme Court has found a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, striking down bans in 14 states and handing a historic victory to the gay rights movement that would have been unthinkable just 10 years ago.

Anthony Kennedy, a conservative justice who has broken with his ideological colleagues to author several decisions expanding rights for LGBT people, again sided with the court’s four liberals to strike down the state bans. The 5-4 majority ruled that preventing same-sex people from marrying violated their constitutional right to due process under the 14th Amendment and that the states were unable to put forth a compelling reason to withhold that right from people.

President Muhammadu Buhari has dissolved the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) with immediate effect.

The show of shame is still raging. Two Nollywood actresses Biodun Okeowo and Wura Gold are in the middle of a fierce battle to wash their hands off a lesbianism tale and it all depends on who can lie most.

...Choosing a wheelbarrow as an official car does not make a president morally decent and fiscally astute; it only exposes his ignorance to issues of fiscal policies.

Unable to choose his working team, Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has been struggling to kick-off a regime he bragged so much about. The All Progressives Congress APC, it may be recalled, ran an electioneering race projecting their candidate, now the president, as a fiscally astute conservative who would curb corruption and appropriately manage the country’s economic and financial resources. The masses at this time are getting something entirely different.

Lawmakers at the Benue State House of Assembly, north-central Nigeria, exchanged blows with one another on Tuesday following a letter addressed to the Speaker by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to appoint majority leader for the Assembly.

The APC and the Peoples Democratic Party’s free for all fight at plenary started when the Speaker of the Benue Assembly, Mr Terkimbi Kyange, read the APC’s letter in which it claimed majority after a lawmaker of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defected into its fold, which gave it a marginal lead over the PDP.

A Nigerian internet fraudster known as the ‘king of dating’ for his sophisticated tactics of online manipulation has given an eye-opening confession at a Lagos-based church.

Samuel Johnson, an Edo State indigene, explained that his journey into advanced internet scamming began in The University of Port Harcourt after he joined the ‘Black-Axe’ cult.

“I followed them into a very thick forest during the night of initiation,” the young man narrated. He was just 19 years old at the time. “We reached a place where there was a candle and a coffin encircled by 50 young men. They tortured us with canes until we started bleeding. They then cut my tongue on a razor blade and gave me something to drink.”
