Few days into the West Africa Examination Council Examinations, the rate of malpractice has taken a new dimension as questions with prepared answers are posted on social networking site, facebook, for candidates to see hours to the examination. Our correspondent visited the facebook page and discovered one of the papers that was written a day before had been released about two hours to the exam by the operator of the page. Two students of a senior secondary school in Yaba (names withheld) who were also writing the exams, told our correspondent that aside the facebook page, their colleagues get SMS alert of answers in the exam hall.

Margaret Thatcher was given a final farewell Wednesday with full military honours that saw her coffin applauded through the streets of London, as the queen led mourners in paying their respects to Britain’s divisive and influential former prime minister. Tens of thousands of well-wishers turned out to watch Thatcher’s coffin as it travelled to St Paul’s Cathedral, many breaking into spontaneous applause and throwing flowers. Some 700 soldiers, sailors and airmen in full ceremonial uniform lined the route from the Houses of Parliament where Thatcher’s body had lain overnight, as guns were fired every minute from the Tower of London. In a sign of the bitterness her legacy still provokes, a minority among the crowd turned their backs as the funeral cortege went by, booing and chanting “Maggie, Maggie Maggie! Dead, dead, dead!” Some 4,000 police officers were deployed, amid heightened security following the bombings at the Boston Marathon. At the cathedral, Queen Elizabeth

But Evangelist Eucharia Anunobi was caught on camera, dress like a street girl. See the photo below… Source:  naijaurban

The wait is over, after months of speculation, Jose Mourinho has agreed to return to the Chelsea hot-seat next season according to the Daily Star. And the current Real Madrid manager has already drawn up a list of transfer targets to help the Blues return to the top of the Premier League – headlined by strikers Hulk and Radamel Falcao. According to the reports, Mourinho will return to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season on a salary that more than matches his current £12 million-a-year package at Madrid. But the 50-year-old realises Chelsea need some extra firepower to compete against the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and emerging powerhouse Tottenham. Mourinho is a big admirer of Hulk while Atletico Madrid’s Radamel Falcao has long been rumoured with a move to London. The news may just reinforce Romelu Lukaku’s desire to seek another loan move away from the club next season, with the Mirror reporting the teenager, currently plying his trade w

The Lagos State Government says it is set to commence the registration of residents in the state. The government added that the outcome of the exercise would be computed in a database to assist government in providing adequate social services to the estimated 20 million people who live and work in the state.

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has reinstated its recommendation that Nigeria be labelled “a country of particular concern”, a designation by the United States Secretary of State (under authority delegated by the President) of a nation guilty of particularly severe violations of religious freedom under the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) of 1998 (H.R. 2431) and its amendment of 1999 (Public Law 106-55).  In a statement in Washington D.C. Monday, USCIR said President Goodluck Jonathan-led Nigeria deserved that designation giving its failure to hold accountable perpetrators of religiously-related violence. “The Nigerian government’s failure to prosecute perpetrators of religiously-related violence only encourages reprisals and intensifies local tensions and mistrust. Boko Haram uses this impunity as a recruitment tool and to justify its attacks on Christians,” said USCIR chair Katrina Lantos Swett. She added, “USCIRF has recommended

Prophet Temitope Joshua, head pastor and founder of the Synagogue Church of all Nation, information reaching us now that he has once predicted the omen that recently befell the people of America. We gathered that, Joshua revealed an earth shaking prophecy of the recent devastating terrorist bombing attacks in Boston, Massachusetts USA long before they ever happened. Watch it for yourself to see that prophets and prophecy did not die out with the Old Testament. Jesus Christ's power is the same yesterday, today and forever. All things lie open before Him; there is nothing hidden from God. TB Joshua, who is also running a cable TV evangelical ministry called Emmanuel Tv, in the past, has had his predictions coming to fulfilment, this is not an exception. Source:  Nigeriafilms.com
