I think, by now the Nigeria Police force should have realised, that their apologies an excuses never bring back the lives of dear ones. Much needs to be done... Stephen James, the police sergeant who shot himself after killing three men at the weekend in Lagos would be dismissed posthumously, the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has said. DAILY POST reports that James at about 4pm on Saturday in the Ketu area of the state, ambushed and killed three men, including two siblings for advising him to behave as an adult. James, a Sergeant with force number 217884, attached to MOPOL 22, Oduduwa, GRA, Ikeja, was said to have threatened to shoot anyone who refused to buy alcohol for him at the hotel bar.

We want to use this medium ...

In today's world of manufactured pop stars and overt industry pressure to be "the next iconic musician",Demi Lovato has always stood out as a breath of fresh air. She has a unique sound; a commanding, out-of-this-world voice; and a sense of style that practically screams, "I could not care less what you think about me." Yes, she got her start on the Disney channel, as many of Hollywood's hottest stars have, but it wasn't too long before Demi's personal trials and tribulations set her apart from the teenybopper crowd. Her struggles with depression, eating disorders, and self-harm became widely known during the late 2000s, thanks to a much-publicized fight with a backup dancer and a rehab stay in November 2010. She was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and moved into a sober-facility.

In a piece title “BuhariGate, as the limit of obstructionist politics’ Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba, distanced President Buhari from the ongoing Dasuki $2.1 billion arms deal scandal. Read the incisive piece below… As the war on corruption heightens, the political battle-line between the governing All Progressives Congress, APC and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has sharply been drawn. While leaders from both parties voice out their support for the clean-up of the country by ridding it of corruption, the National Working Committee of the PDP seems clearly to be working contrary to the anti-corruption rhetoric of their Board of Trustees. Their public communication organs have, in particular, become increasingly combative against the exercise. All that the President, leading the APC change orchestra is trying to do is to revamp a moribund nation with growth, jobs and recovered looted funds. Sadly, only a few, if any in Wa...
