Abducted Students Seen Hustled Around In 7 Buses Near Gwoza In Borno

The schoolgirls abducted by the Boko Haram reportedly have been seen today, April 28, in South Borno, in the Gwoza-Bama axis. The 200 missing girls have been hustled around in about seven buses.

The information about abducted GGSS (Governmental Girls' Secondary School) female students was provided by active citizens in Maiduguri. And a non-governmental organization (NGO) fighting for civil right, led by Dr Peregrino Brimah, disclosed this information to the press.

The organization urgently call on the security agencies to go in pursuit and asks Goodluck Jonathan administration to approve immediately the formal request of the thousands of Civilian-JTF members and several thousand ready-volunteer youth around the nation for the permission to bear arms as civilian army patriots to seek, capture and eradicate Boko Haram terrorists and release all abductees and forced conscripts.

Yesterday, April 27, security sources stated that the military has already identified the various camps in which the girls are being held, but is being cautious about executing a full onslaught against their captors, in order to avoid collateral damage.

Omotola Comments On Accusations Of Her "Making Friends" With Politicians

Top-notch Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, admired by millions of Nigerians and tenderly called Omosexy, has said she should not be included in the list of celebrities who make friends with politicians.

Speaking at the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NEC) last week the mother of four claimed that she had never been among those who keep company either with government or politicians, Vanguard reports.

One of the most influential people of 2013, according to TIME magazine, Omotola said:
"Somebody on a blog a few days ago wrote that there are Nollywood personalities who are friends with politicians, sharing the national cake together. I, Omotola, have never campaigned or partied with any government, so don’t mention my name among those who do that. I have suffered enough for refusing to party with them and take ‘Ghana Must Go’ back home, so don’t let me suffer more," she stated.

She also added that if a celebrity wished to be friends with politicians, one should do so without making connection between politicians' activities and the celebrity's brand.

Probably her remark is the reaction to the attack made by singer Etcetera, who mentioned Omotola among other popular personalities allegedly making friends with politicians - Etcetera made this statement right after the tragic Nyanya bombing.

Peter Obi Presents Cars, Cash Securing His Appointment As Aviation Minister

According to Sahara Reporters, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi is handing out cars and cash "gifts" to those lawmakers who might make his becoming the next Minister of Aviation more easy.

Obi, a leader of the All Peoples Grand Alliance (APGA), has completed his second term as Anambra State Governor in March 2014, and indications have emerged that President Goodluck Jonathan plans to give the post to him to replace Stell Oduah.

First, Obi was considered a replacement for Pius Anyim, former senator and current Secretary of the Federal Government. who is believed to be seriously weighing a governorship option in Ebonyi State. However, according to reliable sources, Obi's persona did not satisfy some representatives of the Peoples Democratic Party. According to sources within the party, its key members, including its national chairman, insisted that an original member of the party (specifically, Jerry Ugokwe) should take the post.

Obi is also being criticized by the PDP and non-PDP political figures for the "divisive politics" he introduced in his home state during his eight-year governorship. He is accused of setting up Roman Catholics against Anglicans, Anambra South against Anambra North, and some traditional rulers against others. Furthermore, Obi is being criticized for "manipulating ethnic sentiments" in Anambra State.

According to Sahara Reporters' sources, Obi, who is aware of political intrigues around him and intends to "soften" them, gave away a number of Ford SUVs to some key political figures, like senators from the Southeast region, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, and Senate President, David Mark.

Nigerian Officials Banned 'Half Of A Yellow Sun' Movie Because Of Biafran War

The most awaited movie of this year in Nigeria, “Half of a Yellow Sun,” has been banned by the country's film censorship board because the movie partially takes place during the Biafran War.

According to the director, Biyi Bandele, the movie scheduled to open in Nigeria last Friday was essentially banned as the country’s film censorship board has refused to issue the movie a certificate. Earlier, Half of a Yellow Sun's premier has been postponed in Nigeria.

Though, the movie which is unites some of Nigeria’s major cultural figures of civil war (also known as the Biafran War) is already showing in Britain and is scheduled to open in the United States next month. It also had its premiere last year at the Toronto International Film Festival. And Nigerian actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, who starred in the Academy Award-winning film “12 Years a Slave” is one of the stars in the movie.

The censorship board could not be reached for comment about the film, but Mr. Bandele said officials seemed to be “jittery about its content.” He continued: “That it deals with the Biafran War (from 1967 to 1970). That it might incite people to violence.” Even today a remnant of the old Igbo independence movement persists in the country’s south, which is largely Christian. And in the north, where Muslims are in the majority, many people attribute the Nigerian Army’s frequent large-scale killings of civilians, in its campaign against the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram, to southerners’ lingering fury over their treatment during the long-ago war.
