Photo: Boko Haram victim in search of his wife and seven children

Posted: 13 Dec 2014 11:58 AM PST

A 40 year old identified as Matthew Zira, (pictured above) says he's searching for his wife and seven children after members of Boko haram invaded their village in Michika LGA of Adamawa state on September 7th. A distraught Matthew narrated his ordeal to The Nation. Read what he said below..
My name is Matthew Zira. I am from Vi village in Minchika Local Government Area, Adamawa State. I was living comfortably with my family until that fateful Friday. Before that day, there had been rumours that Boko Haram would attack the village, but no one knew when they would come. So on that day, as usual, I went out of the house to look for my daily bread. I ride commercial motorcycle in the village, I am also a farmer, and did the commercial motorcycle work when farm work was over. 
So, I left home as early as 6 am on the 7th of September 2014 on my motorcycle to commence the business of the day. But at about noon, I started hearing gunshots and everyone said Boko Haram had arrived town. I immediately rushed back home to go and evacuate my family, but before I got home, they had fled along with other villagers to an unknown destination. I went round town looking for them but could not find them. I went to the police station, hospitals and everywhere but could not find them. Before the evening of that day, Boko Haram had already taken over the entire village completely. I was advised not to go back home because all the houses in the village had been razed by Boko Haram. I fled to Minchika to continue the search for my children. Later, we had to flee to Yola when we heard that Boko Haram would attack Minchika. I spent one month in Yola searching everywhere for my children but I could not find them. Those of us who escaped from Vi village and other surrounding villages were camped at the NYSC camp in Yola. I thought of meeting my children there in the camp but they were not there. I had to come to Jos because I was told that thousands of Adamawa people ran to Jos. But I have searched all the IDP camps in Jos since the 5th of November when I arrived, I can't still find them. There is even no iota of information about where I could find them. "Others who lost their families during the rush to escape have found their people, but in my own case, I'm still searching in vain. It is only God that will reveal to me what happened to my family. So, I am only looking up to God now because I have done all that is humanly possible. I am really in trauma; at night I can't sleep, I keep thinking of my children. At times, if I am eating and the thought of the whereabouts of my children came to my mind, I will not be able to eat any longer, from that moment I will lose appetite. I am pleading with any Nigerian who knows where I can locate my children to contact me on my phone – 07037728905. My wife's name is Tinana Mathew. My seven children are Rita, Ziramatu, Tumbamatu, Kwata, Racheal and one-yearold Doris. Please, I am eagerly waiting for any information on their whereabouts." he said

Nigerian tissue seller in Spain returns €16,000 he found in briefcase

Posted: 13 Dec 2014 05:23 AM PST

A Nigerian tissue seller is being praised in Spain as a good Samaritan after he returned 16 thousand Euros he found in a briefcase that fell from a car.

35 year old Peter Angelina, who makes a living selling tissue paper at a traffic light junction at the corner of Calle Juan Diaz de Solis and Ruben Dario in Seville, Spain, was selling his wares on Dec. 3rd when he noticed a small briefcase left on the roof of a car. The briefcase fell to the ground when the driver of the car pulled away. Peter picked up the briefcase and ran after the vehicle, trying to flag the driver down to return the case to him but couldn't get the attention of the driver. He then took the briefcase to a police station near the junction.

When police opened the briefcase, they found €3,150 in cash and six cheques with a combined value of €13,000 as well as some documents and a mobile telephone. More money than the man who left Lagos Nigeria for London, then Spain over 10 years had ever seen in his life.


According to Euronews, Spanish Police tracked down the owner of the briefcase, a 42-year-old businessman from Seville, and returned his belongings. The man later found Peter and rewarded him with €100.
"People say I could have kept the money and then thrown the briefcase away but I am not like that, and God wouldn't have liked that. I am not crazy, I am a good man." Peter later told local media
Turns out Peter Angelina is a doctor, but cannot practice medicine in Spain because his diploma from Lagos University is be recognized there. He started studying medicine in Seville five years ago and sells tissues to afford his studies. He also gets a little financial help from his father who reportedly works in the police force in Nigeria

Is Etcetera a problem? - written by Onyeka Ibeanusi

Posted: 13 Dec 2014 02:37 AM PST

Writer and social commentator, Onyeka Ibeanusi answers the question y'all are beginning to ask, is Etcetera good or bad for the entertainment industry? His article below...
Many people felt the rude awakening to the presence and existence of singer cum writer Etcetera. I got to know about Etcetera in 2008 when I was still in Uniben. I remember a guitarist friend of mine saying, "Dis guy hold guitar like who no sabi play am."
Then I heard his songs and saw his videos. The videos were nice at that time and Etcetera was on his way to becoming the male version of Asa. I watched some other videos from him years later but unfortunately, Nigerians hardly patronise his genre of music and Etcetera disappeared.
Now Etcetera is back as a writer and a columnist hitting Nigerian celebrities harder than the US is hitting ISIS and to be candid, the dude is good!

Maybe somebody should have signed Etcetera and helped him reach the height of his music career. Perhaps Dj's, Vj's and OAP's shouldn't have charged him too much and spare everyone this vocal warfare penned down in computer fonts. Now Etcetera is here to piss everybody off.

I remember when Tiwa Savage described him as 'coma' or 'full stop' and now Freeze is after him after making very creative and epic statement like, "The light skin radio presenter who does the evening show on that Cool station on the island.'
'Honey can I turn off the AC before I freeze?"

Charles Novia was enough trouble for Nigerian entertainers and now Etcetera joins him. Having both of them around is like fielding Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi at the same time in the same team.

Maybe Etcetera should have been a rapper, because the punch lines this guy drops is just too much to ignore. Sometimes I imagine him surfing the internet and laughing hard at people's reactions and comments whenever ever he writes.

To save Nigerian celebs from the hands of this creative terrorist, I think we should call Don Jazzy to sign him with the responsibility of releasing 5 albums in 3 years, maybe we will all have peace by then but since I don't have that power or the ability to 'retract', 'debunk' or 'condemn' anyone's opinion, I will just sit back and wait for his next article.

Pics: Protest by post-graduate students of UNN over hike in tuition fees

Posted: 13 Dec 2014 01:33 AM PST

Post-graduate students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, barricaded the office of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ben Ozumba, in protest against hike in their tuition fees, describing
the increase from N69,000 to N145,000 as outrageous.

The placard-carrying protesters, numbering over 200, marched round the school and barricaded the VC's office.


The students say "To us, the increment is outrageous. We are not against any increment, but it should be reasonable. It is not fair to increase the fees for a session of nine months from N69,000 to N145,000. Where do they expect us to get that kind of money? We will continue this protest until the university reduces it. I do not think it is a crime for one to further his education in UNN."

The Dean of Post-Graduate School, Professor A. Ubachukwu, addressed the students, saying that:
"Government does not give any allocation for postgraduate school as it is assumed that post-graduate students are adult and can pay cost for their education. I use my personal money at times to run the PG school. I have been talking with some of your leaders on this issue for some time now and we compared notes with other universities before the increment on PG school fees was made."
