The Nigerian military says it know where the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram are but will not attempt a rescue. Nigeria's Chief of Defence Staff said it was "good news for the parents," although he admitted the military would not risk "going there with force". More than 200 girls were abducted by Boko Haram gunmen from their school in northern Nigeria in April. Earlier, the BBC learned that a deal to release some of the girls was close but was called off by the government. The BBC's Will Ross in the capital, Abuja, says an intermediary met leaders of the Islamist group and visited the place where they were being held. He says agreement was almost reached to release 50 of the girls in exchange for the release of 100 Boko Haram prisoners. But the Nigerian government pulled out of the deal after President Goodluck Jonathan attended a conference on the crisis in Paris. The reasons for the withdrawal are unclear.

How 'Africa's Oprah' conquered a continent…. (CNN) – Oprah, if you're reading this, for goodness sake return this woman's calls. Ask your assistants if there's a box of yellowing fax messages lying around somewhere in Harpo Studios — she sent you one daily for a while. Track down the ton of letters asking — pleading — for your help starting a Winfrey-style talk show in Africa. Because this isn't just another eager fan. Her name is Mosunmola Abudu, and in the last eight years she's done it — and then some. With no TV experience whatsoever, Abudu has become the "Oprah of Africa" — it's impossible not to read an interview with the glamorous 49-year- old without the moniker cropping up. And with good reason. Breezing into CNN's London studios, electric blue dress clinging to her slim figure, glossy pink eye shadow and lipstick to match, Abudu is in her element, the sound bites coming thick and fast. And why wouldn't ...

Polytechnic graduates are discriminated against in private and public employment. The supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, has declared that the issue of dichotomy between HND and Degree holders will soon be resolved as President Goodluck Jonathan has set up a committee headed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Pius Anyim, to address the challenge. Addressing chairmen of Governing Councils of Federal Polytechnics and Federal Colleges of Education on Thursday in Kaduna during a Special retreat, Mr. Wike said that the SGF and members of the committee met with Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, last week to resolve the dichotomy.

Confusion enveloped the Shagari Plaza on Moshood Abiola Way, Garki-Area one, Abuja, on Thursday over an explosion in the shopping complex. Customers and residents of the area fled the neighborhood fearing that the explosions, which occurred in quick succession, were the handiwork of violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, and could be bomb blasts.

Here is what she said at the event… "I just need to put on some weight.

It's been revealed that the cause of Paul Walker's fatal car crash was speed not mechanical problems. The Porsche was travelling approximately 90 mph instead of speed limit sign of 45 mph when it lost control on a suburban street ,crashing into a pole and burst into flames killing Walker and Roger Rodas.. According to a person who has reviewed a report by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol... "Investigators calculated that his best friend Rodas was driving between 81 mph and 94 mph when his 2005 Porsche Carrera GT began to drift as it lost control after coming out of a curve.The vehicle had no mechanical failure and the damage that occurred to the vehicle was from the collision," Guess incident where to happen in Naija, I bet there will be no more investigation on this, right?

"I am not sure I want to turn back the hands of time for anything, not even for the gift of sight.I think I have overcome the desire for sight. I know it is a beautiful thing and it is absolutely necessary. Life is interesting and you do not know what it is going to throw at you, and for me, I am grateful for the gift of life. I enjoy my life and I don't think I sit and imagine what my life would be like if I could see. Quite honestly, I want to see for stupid reasons. I want to see because I want to learn how to play golf. I am an optimist by nature and I don't think I walk around saying I want to see. One other reason I would really love to have sight is to see my wife's face but I have the privilege of touching it which is much better than seeing it." On his wife…he...

The husband of one of those who didn't make it alive back home at the just held NIS recruitment exercise in Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium Benin City has asked the Government to please provide a job for him to be able to look after the three children the deceased has now left alone in his care. According to Mr Amun, he and his late wife woke up very early that day to be able to get to the venue on time. After they had queued for a while, he became tensed and almost couldn't breathe and asked his wife to let them go home, but she told him to look for a seat outside the stadium and relax while she remains on the queue. While outside the stadium, his wife's brother (who also came for the same exercise) ran into him and asked after his sister, and he told him she was on the queue. Around 4pm, they were asked to come in and write a test and he looked all around for her, but she was nowhere to be found. His younger brother later forced him to go and write the test, ...

Nollywood actress, Clarion Chukwura and music legend, Sir Shina Peters are the parents of popular music director, Clarence Peters. Clarion is said to have taken care of Clarence on her own, without Shina Peters help. Clarence started relating with his father only 5-years ago. In a new interview with The Nation, Clarion said she had the opportunity to abort him initially, but she didn't. Read why she made the decision to keep him below: She Said: You know what? It is not because Clarence is successful today. Clarence knows the truth and those who are close to me know the truth. I didn't have Clarence because I was too helpless to get rid of his pregnancy.

There was St. Lawrence in Ibadan and St. Jude here in Lagos. But each time, I said no. I lost my father when I was 11 and he left a messa...

By Capt. Daniel Omale I do not intend to join issues with anyone in my column, but it has become necessary in this article to answer Mr Yakubu Dati, a designated manager (public relations) of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and also a spokesperson for the Ministry of Aviation. After his failure to pursue a meaningful political career in his home state of Plateau, he gained respite with a job in FAAN. I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, appreciate Dati's gross ignorance in the field of aviation. But I understand the nature of his job: to persuade, sensitize, and prop the public to accept mediocrity of government policies, especially in air regulation. Dati lacks both knowledge and ability to rationalize issues in air transportation industry. As delusional as he is, I accept one statement in his last week's article and that is: Oduah's dangerous and unsafe policies will take a while to retract and correct. First, I will educate Yaku...
