Human Rights Lawyer, Mike Ozekhome has charged the federal government to constitute an amnesty programme for kidnappers in Nigeria.

Ozekhome, who made this charge at his Igando home in Lagos after being freed by his abductors, also called on the federal government to declare a state of emergency.He said “I therefore call upon the federal government of Nigeria to institute an amnesty programme for this volatile, very angry, very very desperate youth of Nigeria” whom he said “believe rightly or wrongly that they have been shortchanged by the nation which is why they have taken up arms”.He further suggested that the FG “declares a state of emergency on youth unemployment, lack of capacity building, educational decay, infrastructural decay” which he noted “gives birth to crime”.Mr. Ozekhome appealed to the government not to neglect the families of the four policemen who were killed while trying to rescue him from his abductors.“It was this morning that I was briefed that those gallant officers died while trying to rescue us from our abductors.“Let me hereby call upon the Federal Government to set up a special foundation to cater for the welfare of the wives and children of these officers.”He also urged the National Assembly to allow for state police in the ongoing amendment of the 1999 Constitution.Ozekhome regained freedom on Thursday after three weeks of abduction.

Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell  you  dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo There are strong indications that efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo to have a rethink  on his decision to stay away from the party’s activities  have failed.  Investigations on Thursday showed that Obasanjo insisted when the new PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu visited him on January 26, that Jonathan  must  honour his alleged promise in 2011 not to contest the 2015 presidential election. A very reliable  PDP national officer  confided in  The PUNCH that  Obasanjo also  gave  other conditions that the new leadership of the party must meet before he would have a change of mind.  They include the restructuring of the party as well as   the correction of the  anomalies relating to the removal of Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the national secretary of the PDP  and Bode Mustapha  as  national auditor in early...

Many Nigerians have since reacted in different ways to the private session which they had in the Wii hours of the night in the Big Brother Double Wahala house. Famous music producer, Don Jazzy also joined the bandwagon as he recently mocked the lovers for their special moment in the house. In a recent post, the talented producer was seen dancing in the toilet and singing “watabambam” He later justified his action, stating that he wasn’t judging the couple but just fooling around. He said: “I’m not even judging. Last last body is not fire wood o. U never use toilet before??? Cast the first stone " The housemates were captured by the cameras having sex in the toilet early this morning, and it came barely a day after Teddy A denied accusations by other housemates that they were among the couples having sex i...
