Ndigbo Tasks FG On Astralian Negotiator

The Ndigbo Cultural Society of Nigeria (NCSN) has urged the Federal Government to demand the full refund of all monies paid to the Australian hostage negotiator, Davis Stephen, for the release of the Chibok girls.

President of the group, Chief Udo Udeogaranya made this statement on Thursday, 4 September, 2014, saying that since the Australian has failed to secure the release of the school girls from Boko Haram insurgents, hence he should refund all monies paid to him.

Udeogaranya alleged that the negotiator having failed woefully in the assigned mission to free the abducted girls, instead resorted to name dropping as a decoy for services rendered.

It could be recalled that reports surfaced on the internet few days ago where Stephen was quoted to have told  ‘Arise TV’ that  during his negotiation for the release of the abducted girls in Chibok, Borno State, that some Boko Haram leaders told him names of sponsors of their activities.

Saint Obi acquires 2014 G65 AMG Mercedes Benz (Photos)

Nollywood actor, Saint Obi has acquired a 2014 Mercedes Benz Class (G65-AMG) aka G Wagon. The actor who is probably Nigeria's best role interpreter for movies depicting him as a detective reportedly paid a whooping $292,000 (N48 million) for the luxury automobile which is BITurbo, has a specially constructed V12 engine, and more so, the vehicle is bullet proof. Now, that's how big boys drive. 

And for those who are wondering why Saint Obi hasn't been seen in movies lately, I'm told he's pretty busy with his other job as a media consultant.
