Posted: 11 Jul 2016 01:33 PM PDT

Publisher of Genevieve Magazine, Betty Irabor took to Instagram to write about her encounter with single mothers at a recent event where she spoke about being raised by a single mom.
"Oh the emotions! Spent time out of my bubble yesterday to feel the agony, the pain, the discrimination and stigma of single moms. Tears flowed freely as these phenomenal women shared stories of their escape from abusive marriages and life as widows and unmarried mothers.
The stories of landlords who brand them prostitutes and won't offer them tenancy. Shared my story of being raised by a single mom and the struggle and triumph of becoming who I am. Thank you "Single Moms" Deola and her team for the love and platform offered these hurting women to begin their journey towards their healing and taking charge of their lives. We all need to empower these women, they need jobs, mentors, funding for their businesses, school fees and a lot of love NOT STIGMA!"

Missing Chibok girls: Don't give up on the government, Presidency urges BBOG

Posted: 11 Jul 2016 12:52 PM PDT

The presidency has released a statement urging the advocacy group of the missing Chibok school girls, Bring Back Our Girls, not to give up on efforts by the government to rescue the missing girls. Read the statement signed by Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba after the cut...



The BringBackOurGirls group claims in a recent statement that President Muhammadu Buhari has "broken all promises" made to the group about rescuing the missing Chibok girls and that the government had been "lackadaisical" in the rescue mission. The Presidency will like to appeal to the officials and members of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) campaign group, not to waver in their support for the government in the war against terrorism and in the ongoing effort to free all Nigerian citizens taken captive by the Boko Haram terrorist group.

The past year of this administration has seen the Nigerian military step up bombardment of the Sambisa Forest, a stronghold of the Boko Haram terrorist group, leading to the capture of hundreds of insurgents.

Also, records from the Army show the rescue of no fewer than 15,000 captives, mostly women and children from the terrorists from February to date. In addition, dozens of communities that were previously under the control of the terrorists have been liberated, allowing thousands of previously displaced citizens to return home and resume their normal lives.

Thousands of these women and children freed from captivity have also been reunited with their families. This huge number of rescued women and children may not be prominent names, and their disappearance may not have generated any massive media attention and campaign.

However, their liberation is just as important as that of every other missing woman and child, and a testament to the devotion of our military personnel who daily risk life and limb in the effort to bring back every Nigerian citizen kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists.

Along with these ongoing efforts to rid our country of terrorists and terrorism, the Nigerian government is focused on the welfare and rehabilitation of rescued Nigerians, many of whom were found in a state of severe malnutrition and illness.

While their intentions are honourable, perhaps the BBOG leadership have not considered the collateral damage which must inevitably follow its riveting and dispiriting claim that the President has "broken all promises" allegedly made to the group on this issue. Or that he has been "lackadaisical" in rescuing the Chibok girls. The Federal Government's focus has always been to free the Chibok girls alive and unharmed.

The President is conscious always about the fact that terrorism in Nigeria is part of a global phenomenon. Since coming to office, his response to it has been firm and well considered.

President Buhari will never make bogus promises or play to the gallery. It is misleading of anyone to preach that the Chibok girls are within an easy grasp. If the military under the President knew where they are held, they will bring the Chibok girls home today.

The Presidency is open to renew cooperation with the BBOG group, international bodies, religious groups, social workers, and all others who are assisting in the field to ensure that those who have so far been rescued from Boko Haram captivity are given the support they need to make a full recovery and be reintegrated fully into society.

Groups such as the BBOG can also lend a helping hand to military families whose losses need to be appreciated and focused upon.

The life of every single Nigerian matters to this government and the security agencies, under the command of President Buhari, will continue to exert all its powers to ensure that every Nigerian is safe from the brutality of terrorists and terrorism.

TY Bello shares heartwrenching encounter with a soldier fighting Boko Haram in Maiduguri

Posted: 11 Jul 2016 12:30 PM PDT

Celebrity photographer, TY Bello, who just returned from Borno state, shared this photo of an xray showing an anti aircraft bullet lodged in a soldiers throat. She wrote
"Soldier X:While I made portraits of our wounded soldiers at the military hospital in Maiduguri, one of the soldiers made a statement that I haven't been able to shake off, " one way you know a soldier has been hit is that they suddenly start shouting out names of family members.
"This statement kept playing over and again in my mind, especially when I got the most colourful welcome from my family, barely a week away on this journey.Many soldiers, play this long overdue welcome party in their heads daily, and the sad thing is that for some, it may never happen. 

I had long conversations with soldiers about how they got wounded in battle.They told me how grateful they were to be alive, some of their colleagues weren't as lucky. I also got to speak with medical personnel, on the uniqueness of their work in a war against terror. I'll share all their stories here and start by introducing Soldier X, who I never met, but made a photograph of his Xray .An anti aircraft bullet, big and strong enough to tear through the titanium body of an airplane, was lodged in his throat, and for some reason, it didn't blow his head off, this soldier lived through his surgery and got to take the removed bullet home as a reminder. This is a wicked wicked war!Why would anyone chose weapons made to attack war planes and use it on a fellow human ... At close range ..Even in war there should be rules. Lieutenant Ologodo told me something really important, that if you don't believe in God, working here will make a convert out of you, the frequency of witnessing the darkest of evil deeds, along side what can only be miraculous, will open your heart somehow.This is such a brutally wicked war !#tybellophotography #portrait#unknown soldier #Nigerianarmy #bokoharam #woundedsoldier #borno #war#waronterror@.

'Kanye says down there is still the same but I don't think I can carry another child'- Kim K talks about her post-baby Vagina

Posted: 11 Jul 2016 11:14 AM PDT

On Sunday's episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian kicked things off with a bang when she revealed that husband Kanye West keeps asking her about a third child, but she doesn't feel she can give birth to another child as it might distort the shape and width of her private part. Driving in a car with sister Kourtney's ex Scott Disick, Scott asks her if she's thinking about having another child.



"Why are you thinking about having a third?"

Then Kim tells Scott ; "Kanye has said it every single day for like the last week," "And I was like, 'I don''t think I can carry another one.'"I just think, 'Ugh, I'll never be the same down there.' Kanye says it like feels the same."
 "Wait tell me, do you think it's different."

"Like, it's like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?"

To which Scott honestly replied;
"I feel like me and Kanye don't care about that. It's the fact that like something that big has come in and out of there. Things are just different internally. There's just like bumps and curves, you know what I'm saying? 

"It's like the same house but the furniture's rearranged?," Kim asks.

Scott then tells Kim, "Correct, exactly."

''It's just not the same. It's like the same house but the furniture is rearranged. The front door is still the same, but inside the couches have been spread apart and mixed and matched like a hurricane hit."
