2 Nigerian Students Faceing Deportation From Canada Speakes Out

Siting inside a church, University of Regina students Victoria Ordu and Ihuoma Amadi start as a prairie wind rattles the front door.

Ordu glances over, eyes wary, before flicking toward the window at the back of the church she now calls home.

Sunshine streams through the glass, but that's the only taste of the outside world the two girls have been able to get since June 19, when they opted to seek sanctuary in the church.

The fear of being found by the Canada Border Services Agency and deported back home to Nigeria hangs over their heads - all because they worked for two weeks at Walmart.

President Jonathan's Independence Speech,Full Text

This is the unedited text of President Jonathan's address to the nation this morning

Beloved countrymen and women, on this day, fifty-two years ago, our founding fathers brought joy and hope to the hearts of our people when they won independence for our great country. Nigeria made a clean break with more than six decades of colonial rule, and emerged as a truly independent nation. That turning point was a new beginning for our nation.

Those who witnessed the lowering of the Union Jack and the emergence of the Green White Green flag continue to relish the memory, because that ceremony was not just about the destiny of a nation, but the future of a people.

Nigeria is 52nd:Happy Independence Anniversary Nigeria

May God continue to bless our country! Happy celebration, Nigeria!

Father Mistakenly Kills Masked Son

A US man mistakenly shot dead his 15-year-old son while investigating what appeared to be an attempted burglary at his sister's house next door. Jeffrey Giuliano opened fire on a masked teenager outside his sister's house when the person came at him with a knife.

According to police, the father was called by his sister, who lives next door, at around 1am on Friday when she heard someone outside her home and believed they were attempting to break in. The popular fifth-grade teacher confronted the person wearing a ski mask, black clothing and holding what appeared to be a knife. As the person lunged at him with the knife, Guilliano fired his gun.

Police later told him after removing the mask that he had killed his adopted son Tyler (pictured above). No charges have yet been filed

Controvercial Actors Guild of Nigerias Election

The Chairman of the Actors Guild National Electoral Commission, Ayo Emmanuel, sent out a press release claiming Emeka Rollas won the 7th AGN elections beating actress Ibinabo Fiberesima with 81 votes to 76. Then I got a call from Ibinabo's people insisting that she won the election and not Rollas. I then called Ayo Emmanuel to get confirmation and he insisted that Emeka Rollas won the election. He said the result of the Ondo and Niger state chapters were suspended for manipulations and Abuja chapter was also suspended for multiple voting.

Now I'm getting pictures from Ibinabo's people which they say are pictures from her swearing in as AGN president.

Nigerians are UK`s 4th Greatest Foreign Spenders

Article written by Susannah Butter for Standard UK

Every year, Simi Osomo (pictured above) makes six trips to London from Nigeria. The 25-year-old spends about two weeks here and every day she goes shopping. Today she’s at the boutique shop Matches Townhouse in Marylebone with a personal shopper. “When it comes to shopping and Nigerians, I can tell you it’s just what we have to do,” she tells me while admiring the patterned dresses.

For Nigerians, London is a shopping mecca. Visitors from the West African country are the UK’s fourth biggest foreign spenders, parting with an average of £500 in each luxury shop they visit — four times what UK shoppers typically spend. When I ask Osomo how much a two-week shopping trip in London costs she makes a bashful face. “Ooh, should I really be saying this? It depends, but most times about £5,000.”
