Zabarmari massacre

Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech via his official twitter handle yesterday over the recent incidence in Zabarmari, Borno state, a man has called the incidence to be a staged event, that people should provide a video evidence if truly the incident happened.

The Buhari’s speech that birthed that comment from that man was a condolence message from President Muhammadu Buhari. In the speech, Buhari had show concerned over the incidence that happened in Zabarmari, Borno state.

Check out the President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech below;

The second screenshot where I marked is the man with the name Chukwuma Micheal who replied president Muhammadu Buhari saying the north is safe. His message further denoted that there should be provision for video evidence if truly the Incidence is real. The man message might be as a result of no body coming out to claim the body of the dead farmers, and no names was released.

Is the man trying to relate what happened in Zabarmari to Lekki? What’s your say?

The Ethopiana tribe who lives in a remote village held a photographer and his daughter hostage at gun point when they visited the village

A photographer told of his horror after two members of the generally-peaceful Suri tribe in Ethiopia held him and his daughter at gunpoint in a horrific robbery ordeal. 

Geography teacher-turned photographer Trevor Cole, 64, said one tribesman pointed a Kalashnikov while another brandished a machete at him, his 20-year-old daughter and another photographer during a visit to the Omo Valley.

A guide was able to pay off the men – who were drunk on locally-brewed alcohol Araki – in local currency. 

Due to nearby war, weapons such as AK-47 assault rifles and Kalashnikovs have become quite commonplace in Suri communities – and there is very little intervention from Ethiopian authorities.

Mr Cole said: ‘The Suri tribesmen, two of them, were under the influence of Araki, a locally brewed alcohol, and were intent on robbery. I was with one other photographer and my daughter, who was 20 at the time, so they were tense moments. 

‘My guide and good friend, however, was excellent and we managed to pay them off with local currency.

‘The Suri tribe are in general not aggressive even though they are armed in many cases with AK47s and Kalashnikovs. 

‘These are to stop other tribes taking their livestock and also for occasional intertribal conflicts. They sometimes get aggressive when they drink the Araki and it is then that there is the greatest risk. 

The Omo Valley is home to eight different tribes with a collective population of 200,000 people.

Kaduna polytechnic students protest over lack of water, power

Students of Kaduna Polytechnic on Friday barricaded the entrance to the institution’s main campus in protest over lack of water and power supply to the school for over a week.

The students prevented leacturers and other staff from gaining entrance into the polytechnic.

One of the students, Adamu Muhammad said that they have been suffering from lack of water and electricity for a week with nothing done by the polytechnic management to arrest the situation.

“Exams is fast approaching and we the students have been denied water and electricity, we usually go out of the campus to search for water”, he said.

Malama Hauwa Muhammad, an academic staff at the polytechnic who was blocked off at the gate, expressed sadness over the issue saying that students’ welfare should be taken seriously.

“I am calling on the school management to as a matter of urgency solve the problem at hand, so that our students will perform well in their upcoming exams,” she said.


When contacted, the Registrar of the school, Dr Muhammad Musa, said that the water supply scarcity was caused by epileptic electricity supply to the institution.


Musa also said that rainstorm had destroyed most of the electric poles supplying light to the school, but added that the management is making all efforts to fix them.

“There is no way we can supply water 24-hours without electricity, but at the moment we have made arrangement with the state water board to supply the school with water in tanks.

“Moreso, the students want 24-hour electricity and it is not possible given the current performance of the Kaduna Electric.

“We are doing our best to provide electricity by spending huge sums on diesel to power our generators, “he said.

The registrar appealed to the student to understand with the school management and allow the school conduct the upcoming examinations without hitch.

Tboss stirs controversy by sharing a photo of herself feeding her baby

I am attempted to say Tboss is all about the attention, because why else will someone bring up such controversial topic on the back of wanting to “create awareness” on Bosom feeding? Tboss has only one child and suddenly she sees herself as an expect on parentage and parenthood. This goes to show how shallow many of these so-called celebrities are and how they will do anything to make themselves seem more important than they are! Tboss has just one child, just one and she is here preaching to other “mothers”hear what she has to say


Let’s talk Bosom feeding.
When I was pregnant I read a lot. I was glued to Google & all the mommy blogs, pages, books. I even finally braved watching a couple of birthing clips. That was a hard one. But what Genuinely Freaked the heck outta me was Bosom feeding. The thought of it alone gave me sleepless nights. No Jokes. After having my daughter I didn’t lactate until a couple of weeks afterwards. I almost got depressed. I did EVERYTHING. I ate everything & drank everything they advised until one Beautiful Day I had milk. Words cannot explain how Happy I was & now! Well, Now my Mother calls me “Vacuta Vesela”. I LOVE to Bosom feed my child, It’s my favorite Mommie & Baby time. It creates a form of Bonding that’s nothing short of Spiritually Magical if such a thing even exists. The way she holds unto me, looks into my eyes whilst she suckles & smiles at me ☺️. I feel the Most Powerful when I’m Bosom feeding . I honestly dread the day that I would have to stop.
@amaarray Thank you for the Pap you made for me to trigger my milk- it finally worked.
@neccorh this story wouldn’t be complete without mentioning you & how you taught me how to bosom  my daughter & all the things you gave me to make bosom ietime painless & comfortable for me.
@simplysorrentino always encouraging me not to give up & just relaxxxx
@fair_princess thank you for recommending them lactating cookies- I couldn’t stand the smell but they tasted good & they Worked.
God bless you ladies
