A LIB reader writes in...
One year after Nyanya bomb blast, security operatives still barricade the road going up Nyanya flyover, causing motorists of Mararaba, Nyanya, Karu, Jikwoyi and environs untold hardship. The Nyanya park has been relocated to the roadside by the market, causing heavy traffic gridlock, especially in the morning rush hour. Please kindly use your blog to help us appeal to relevant authorities for the road and the park to be reopened.

Nigerian reportedly attacked in Johannesburg
A chilling story from a Nigerian who lives in Centurion, South Africa about an attack on another Nigerian in Johannesburg today. Meanwhile, how many of you have watched those horrible videos on Facebook showing the killing of African immigrants? And they are attacking children. In one video, some children were beaten, tied up and the men poured gasoline on their body. Can't share the videos here...go on Facebook. Can't believe this is happening in 2015.

This was before the one on the left jailed the one on the right and the one behind formed Nigeria's strongest opposition party - now soon-to-be ruling party. Epic photo!
Mum posts her '15yr old' daughter's pics on twitter, & it's got people talking
Biko, what is wrong with what Michael Bubble posted that people are attacking him?
Canadian singer Michael Buble is being bashed on social media for posting this photo on instagram. I don't understand why this is making people mad when he meant it as a compliment? So, during a trip to Miami with his wife and son, Michael's wife took this photo of him with a well endowed lady in the background. He must have liked the pic because he posted it on instagram and wrote;
"There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram. #myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbumThat's when the trolls came for him, saying he was body-shaming the unidentified woman. *sigh*
Win N350,000 in the Ennovation Challenge
How often have you had problems trying to pay for something via a
cashless transaction? How frustrating does it get sometimes? Are we
truly cashless or not? When are we going to get it right we have all
asked one too many times.
But... What if it was possible for you to help solve the problem? What if it was possible for you to make money (and win some cool gagdets) from making sure that we all don't pay for any transaction with physical cash, in the nearest future?

Chibok girls kidnapped to present GEJ's govt as incompetent- Doyin Okupe
Below is what the presidential Spokesperson shared this morning on his Facebook page...
One of the reasons the Chibok girls were kidnapped was to present Jonathan's administration as incompetent and hold it to ransom against 2015 elections.
One of the reasons the BBOG was formed was to sustain and internationalise the embarrassment. One of the reasons President Jonathan lost the election was a national and international conspiracy predicated on this carefully choreographed and assiduously sustained perception.

UK Taxpayers face huge bill to recover profits from £50m fraudster (James Ibori)
Here's a report I found on Standard UK. UK Taxpayers are blaming former Delta state governor James Ibori for a huge new bill. Find the report below...
Taxpayers are facing a “huge” new bill after efforts to force a former Nigerian state governor from London to repay profits from a £50 million fraud were delayed for more than a year.
James Ibori, who began his working life as a £5,000-a-year cashier at a Wickes DIY branch in Ruislip, became a multi-millionaire after returning to his homeland and committing a series of scams during an eight-year career running its oil rich Delta State.
Between Teebillz and Ghanaian star, Joselyn Dumas
So here's what happened. Teebillz, under his management alongside Spellz
for 323Ent produced a song for his artist Trafic titled Joselyn Dumas, which was partly about the Ghanian actress. But Joseyln's management claim they were not informed that a song was being made about her and contacted 323Ent not to use her name or image for their song. 323 then contacted Joselyn's new management for permission and they requested to listen to the song first before they give it. When they heard the song, they said they didn't particularly like the lyrics as it was talking about her body which they weren't comfortable it and so didn't give permission. Then her management released an official statement two days ago saying they have officially signed Joselyn and anyone who wants to deal with her must go though them.
Something pissed Teebillz off because he went on instagram this morning to call out Joselyn...

Meet the South African king whose remarks launched the Xenophobic attacks
Zulu King Godwill Zwelithi's utterances on March 23rd launched the Zenophobic attacks in South
Africa and he had refused to apologize, even after finding out that his people have maimed, killed and destroyed businesses belonging to black foreigners. He's still insisting that foreigners should go back
to their countries but tried to save face by saying attacking the foreigners is not how to chase them away. He wants the government to do it legally.
During a speech last month, Zwelithini called for the deportation of foreign nationals living in the country, saying it was unacceptable locals were being made to compete with people from other countries for the few economic opportunities they had available. King Zwelithi said "foreigners must pack their bags and go home".

Photo: David Cameron goes to Pastor Adeboye for prayers as he prepares for UK elections
The UK general election will be held May 7th. Current UK Prime Minister David Cameron of the Conservative Party is up against Ed Miliband of Labour Party & Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrat.
Cameron must be feeling the pressure of the election because he went to RCCG event in the UK last night to be prayed for by pastor E.A Adeboye. When did Cameron become so religious? And when has he ever gone to a black church? Or he's just looking for black votes? Lol.

Igbo leaders a disgrace - Etcetera writes
I don't know why this guy thinks it's okay to say Igbo leaders are a disgrace...shuo! But I think he's Igbo (his name is Pascal Ejikeme) so let's read what he's got to say and tell us what you think.
I was told that every Igboman who heard Ojukwu’s speech after the Biafran war was filled with a renewed sense of pride and hope. A hope that one day the Igbo nation will rise and become a force of reckoning not just in Nigeria but in the entire black world. I have read that speech over and over and each time I read through, I am filled with pride and imagination of how those who heard the words pouring out of the mouth of the warlord himself must have felt. Before going any further, let me recount a little part of what the late sage said while addressing the press:
Niger state Governor-elect to be sworn in by his mother-in-law on May 29
The Governor-elect is married to Dr (Mrs) Aminat Sani Bello, the daughter of General Abdulsalami Abubakar, a former Military Head of State and Justice Fati Abubakar who is General Abubakar’s wife. Justice Fati is by law the most senior judicial officer in the state.

Card Expo 2015 Event
You will remember that the momentum
of using cards started a few years ago when people started getting used to
ATMs. Well, the story is changing very fast these days. Since the Central Bank
of Nigeria effectively introduced the cashless policy in 2012, we have seen
more usage of cards not just on ATMs but on POS.
Needless to say that the
bullion vans and sirens have disappeared and people are now transferring money
electronically through NIBSS Instant Payment and NIBSS Electronic Funds
Transfer.

Zimbabwe begins evacuation of its citizens from South Africa
Zimbabwe's High Commissioner to South Africa, Isaac
Moyo says the Zimbabwean government has concluded plans to begin the
evacuation of about 1,000 Zimbabweans resident in South Africa following
the recent xenophobic attacks in the country.
"Identification and processing of repatriation documents has already been done. It is very sad. Most people do not have any documentation. They don't have any clothes apart from what they are wearing. Many of them left all their clothes and property behind. We are documenting people. This process means that we are giving them some sort of documentation to use upon returning to Zimbabwe. We are organising some buses to take them from Durban to Beit Bridge (the border between South Africa and Zimbabwe).
