Suddenly someone went online and said the broadcast has changed to 7am which had no truth in it at all. And you know, many people believed the change so a lot of people missed the original broadcast. That same day people began to call to ask if there was a public holiday. It turned out that it was Kogi st

The barbaric culprit did not blink an eye in acceding to the crime he committed. A group of journalist asked questions about his abominable deed but received incoherent reply.   The 47-year-old Moses Otimba was arrested for infanticide after he killed a five-day-old baby boy he fathered with the younger sister of his pregnant wife. The suspect impregnated his 18-year-old sister-in-law, Joy, killed the child after delivery and buried it in a shallow grave near a river. According to him, living everyday with the child would have been a traumatic experience for him, though he never envisaged the matter could be this weighty. Otimba, an indigene of Ogbogoro community in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa state, was said to have carried out the act in connivance in order to hide the paternity of the baby.

The minister of agriculture and rural developmen Atudu Ogbeh , has said that Nigerian cows are the worst producers of milk across the world. Speaking in Lagos at the 79th anniversary of the Ikoyi Club 1938 on Thursday, September 28, Ogbeh said the cows raised in Nigeria produce far less quantity of milk than other in other parts of the world. The minister said while cows in some countries produce 100 litres of milk daily, an average Nigerian cow produces less than one litre of milk in a day. He also said that the cows in countries like Holland produce 50 litres per day on the average while the US cows have more production. Ogbeh said: “An average cow in the US drinks an average of 100 litres of water per day; but in Nigeria, I doubt whether a cow can get two liters of water per week.” “The earlier farmers started developing ranches for cows, the better it would be for the cow market and its entire value chain,” Ogbeh said. It was earlier reported that Ogbeh reassured Nig

It seems we have not heard the last of reactions from Eedris Abdulkareem‘s explosive interview with Goldmyne TV. One of the artists he called out in the interview, Timaya has responded to claims that he was an ingrate to Eedris. In the interview, Eedris has called Timaya an ingrate saying that he helped Timaya become who he is today and he has refused to help other artists save for Patoranking. This did not go down well with Timaya obviously and he has now put Eedris on full blast in an acidic video he shared on his Instagram page. “Did you even know my name then? I paid my own transport to every of your shows…now you call me an ingrate, what did you do for me” He went ahead to call Eedris an idiot for mentioning Tubaba’s name in his words; “Tuface is big now, you are still there! Go and work!” He said calling the veteran rapper ‘a motherfucking Igbo smoking idiot’! Watch video below;

infant mortality has remained a huge challenge in Nigeria. Despite interventions by government and other stakeholders like the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and non-governmental organisations, which advocate healthy living conditions to save the lives of infants, the death toll keeps on climbing the ladder. Though different incidences account for the problem, the major factor has been largely attributed to inadequate breastfeeding. A nutritionist, Mrs. Ada Ezeogu, disclosed that over 103,742 children die in Nigeria annually due to poor breastfeeding by nursing mothers. She made the disclosure at a two-day Media Dialogue on Breastfeeding and Global Breastfeeding Collective with the theme: “Sustaining Breastfeeding Together.” It was organised by the Child Rights Information Bureau (CRIB) of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture in collaboration with UNICEF and sponsored by the Department for International Development (DFID). It attracted scores of medical personnel

It has been reported by the Human Rights Watch (HRW), Cameroon has forcibly returned 100,000 Nigerian refugees over breach of international agreements. The rights group accused soldiers of deporting refugees escaping Islamist violence, as well as attacking and sexually exploiting them. Cameroon is "punishing" refugees for Boko Haram attacks, HRW said. HRW said in a new report says, 'since early 2015, the Cameroonian authorities have summarily deported at least 100,000 Nigerians living in remote border areas back to war, displacement and destitution in Nigeria's Borno state. In carrying out these deportations, Cameroonian soldiers have frequently used extreme physical violence'. Earlier this year, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) criticised Cameroon for forcibly returning hundreds of refugees to north-east Nigeria. It said the returns had "continued unabated", despite the signing of an agreement ensuring that any returns would be voluntary.

According to report this morning, the Uganda's parliament on Tuesday was a scene of action as MPs flexed muscles and threw chairs at one another ahead of a debate on whether to grant long-serving President Yoweri Museveni another term in office. He has been in power for more than three decades. The move to extend Museveni's rule has met widespread opposition from civic rights activists, the political opposition, religious leaders and even some members of Museveni’s own ruling party. Government and opposition lawmakers came to blows after the House speaker allowed a ruling party legislator to introduce a motion to kick-start a process to remove an age cap from Uganda’s constitution to allow Museveni to run for re-election. Under the existing constitution, a person standing for President must be under 75 years of age - which would make Museveni, 73, ineligible to stand at the next polls in 2021. Watch video below:
