Some say she's having problems getting a 'suitable' man that will marry her and her age is running, others say its just some family issues she's battling with and needs help. Whatever the case may be, the gist is that former most beautiful girl in Nigeria, Manuchi Abii, who got many talking with her boobs exposing dress on her birthday recently, is seeking spiritual help from the man of God at the Synagogue, Prophet T.B. Joshua. A source told reporters that Muna, who was seen sneaking into the church, is not the only Lagos babe who goes to the Synagogue for help, in spite of the many criticism against the popular Prophet. Whatever she's looking for, hope she finds it and eventually learn to live right. Source:  NaijaOnPoint

Former England striker Michael Owen has announced he will retire from football at the end of the season. The 33-year-old who began his career at Liverpool before spells at Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United and current club Stoke City, announced the decision on his website, www.michaelowen.com. A statement on the site read: "It is with an immense amount of pride that I am announcing my intention to retire from Professional Football at the end of this season. "Having progressed through the ranks at Liverpool to make my first team debut at 17, before embarking upon spells at Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Stoke City, not to mention representing my country on 89 occasions, I now feel it is the right time to bring the curtain down on my career. "I have been very fortunate in that my career has taken me on a journey that like many young players starting out, I could only have dreamt of. "None of this would have been p

“In a sane country, a government will not stand and watch her citizens be slaughtered like festive cows.” We are tired of President Jonathan’s usual condemnation of attacks without any further move to trace and deal with the perpetrators. In a sane country, a government will not stand and watch her citizens be slaughtered like festive cows. This government is not doing anything serious to fight insecurity. Also, this PDP government is clueless from top to the bottom. How can individuals that call themselves leaders and elders find it safe to advise the government to dialogue with cannibals that have no good intention for the lives of Nigerian people? The comparison of this bunch of enemies of life to that of the Niger-Delta militants is totally illogical. The Niger-Delta militants had a defined and justified aim for their attacks which was the total negligence of the region by the government in spite of the fact that about 90 per cent of Nigerian revenue is derived from the r

According to eyewitnesses' reports, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) has torn a JTF vehicle apart killing six and injuring two JTF personnel in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital. The explosion allegedly occured at about 11:47am at the UBA bank round about in Post Office area. The accident comes barely 24 hours after unidentified gunmen attacked three schools within the metropolis, killing teachers and pupils. Eyewitness who gives the account of the explosion says he was about going into the Union Bank when he heard the heavy explosion only to turn back and discover that the soldiers' Hilux vehicle, which was coming behind, was torn apart by the heavy impact. "I couldn't go into the bank again as I ran to go and meet my wife in the shop. I actually passed the military vehicle while I was coming there were four soldiers at the back, two in the passengers cabin and the driver with another in the front. "It was horrendous as the bodies were littered

A security guard with Honda Place Company, who was recently arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly conniving with robbers to steal goods worth over N28m from the company, has said the police should stop going after petty thieves like himself. Instead, he said the police should focus their attention on politicians, especially senators and House members, whom he described as the “real thieves.” The suspect, Garba Sani, complained that the N12, 000 he received as salary was too meagre and said he had no choice but to take to crime. He said, “I’m not an armed robber. I was on duty and I called them (other suspects) and we took the goods. We did not carry guns. We have a lot of senators looting and we also need money. There are many thieves in Nigeria and most of us are jobless youths, we have nothing. “I earn N12, 000 a month which is too small. We are all criminals in Nigeria and we have criminal blood in our body so nobody should pretend.” Another suspect, Godwi

The number of casualties from Monday's bomb blast in a luxurious bus park in Kano state, has risen to 70. Tobias Idika, the President of the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo and a witness to the blast, reported that 70 people have been confirmed dead and residents are still trying to identify their relatives. According to Mr. Idika, five buses were fully loaded with passengers ready to take off when a golf vehicle suspected to be laden with explosives drove into the park and exploded. Many people died instantly while a yet to be known number of the people were admitted in hospitals across the state for various injuries. Suicide Bombers The state's Commissioner of Police, Musa Daura, while addressing a news conference on Tuesday, claimed that only 22 people were so far discovered dead from the blast while 65 others sustained injuries. The Police boss revealed that two suicide bombers drove a blue coloured car into luxurious bus park along New Road in Sabon Gari of the city.

Multi-Billionaire businessman, Arthur Eze has dismissed the controversy trailing the presidential pardon granted former governor of Bayelsa state, Dipreye Alamaseigha and others saying it was God that directed president Jonathan to grant the pardon. Speaking with state House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Chief Eze said criticisms against the pardon was misplaced. “What Jonathan did is what a man who fears God will do. If I have an opportunity as president of Nigeria I will do the same. All of us are human beings. What he did was correct. We are not fighting war. Jonathan took advice from God. God has told him to show mercy. The bible says blessed are those that are merciful for they shall see God” he said. He said the American government has no right to dictate to Nigeria because Nigeria is an independent nation. Speaking on his donation of over N1billion to a church in the president’s Village, Chief Arthur Eze said those criticising him over the donation ar

Pope Francis knelt at the tomb of St Peter and donned a ring symbolising his new papal powers at a sumptuous inauguration on Tuesday as tens of thousands of pilgrims cheered Latin America’s first pontiff. Pope Francis swept into a sun-drenched St Peter’s Square to greet the throngs and walked in a procession along the length of the basilica as prelates chanted a Litany of Saints in Latin. The 265th successor to St Peter, considered the first pope, also received from his cardinals the pallium – a lambswool strip of cloth that symbolises the pope’s role as a shepherd. The “Fisherman’s Ring” bestowed on him by Angelo Sodano, the dean of the college of cardinals, is a personalised signet ring traditionally worn by popes in honour of St Peter – a fisherman.  

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has warned the nation about the possibility of another civil war over the incessant killings of Ndigbo in the Northern part of the country. MASSOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike who issued the warning while reacting to Monday bomb blast at a motor park in Kano stated that Ndigbo would be forced to defend themselves from the recent killings in various parts of the North. Uwazurike noted that the Igbo had been pushed to the wall by the Boko Haram insurgency, adding that the people would be left with no other option than rise to the occasion to defend themselves. He said: “I am ready to declare another civil war in this country if this killings and other senseless activities on Ndigbo continue like this because I know that it was this type of massacre that brought about the first civil war in Nigeria.” “I am disappointed in our people, because when they were being slaughtered, I brought out buses to

A suicide bomber targeting luxury buses full of passengers detonated a car bomb at a busy motor park in Kano yesterday, killing dozens of people and injuring many others.  The blasts happened along New Road in Sabon Gari, shortly after 5pm when luxury buses were preparing to travel to other parts of the country.  Survivors told our correspondent that a suicide bomber drove a Volkswagen Golf car into the motor park, meant for passengers traveling to the southern part of the country, and rammed into a Lagos-bound bus which was driving out of the park with dozens of passengers on board. The resulting explosion destroyed the vehicle and set fire to others within the vicinity. There were reports of a second explosion soon after the first one. Witnesses said many passengers, park attendants and hawkers were caught in the explosions and were burnt beyond recognition, while many others sustained various degrees of injuries. There were conflicting figures of the dead yesterday, wi

Monday 18th March, 2013 was yet another bloody day in Kano as over 60 passengers, drivers and visitors lost their lives to explosions at an inter-state luxury bus park in the city. Hours before the blasts, an Islamic militant group, Boko Haram members laid siege to some schools in Maiduguri, Borno State, killing four teachers and injuring several others, including pupils. The cause of the Kano explosions which President Goodluck Jonathan described as barbaric, was uncertain as of 8pm on Monday. While some eyewitnesses attributed it to improvised explosive devices planted in a luxury bus in the ever-busy park, others said it was carried out by three suicide bombers.They were however, in agreement that the explosions also left many injured and some buses destroyed in the park located in the Sabon Gari, an area mostly inhabited by non-indigenes. Reuters correspondent at the scene said he counted over 30 bodies that were affected by the explosions which occurred around 4.30pm. But
