Many people thought Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna and his Colombian fiancee were crazy when the duo hooked up off a couple of romantic exchanges over the Instagram. With barely anything to hold on to, the Colombian Sonia Lareinaa left her family and country to come to Nigeria to settle with her hunk here. With open hands IK welcomed her. It is stuff made of crazy love.
IK-Ogbonna-and-Colombian-fi“She’s an awesome person and we met off social media; I left a breakup and at that point in time I was really not thinking of getting into any relationship. A friend of mine pointed her instagram page to me and I wasn’t really interested in surfing the internet at that point in time, but then again, I had a second look at her page and I was liking her pictures and unconsciously she was liking my pictures and from there, we started talking and it was almost as if it was just meant to be.

Saudi Arabia:: Suicide bomber Bomb Shi'ite mosque in Qatif leaves 30 casualties--Photos

An alleged suicide bomber has detonated explosives at a Shi'ite mosque in the eastern Saudi Arabian district of Qatif during Friday prayers, which has left several casualties.
One witness told Reuters that a huge explosion took place at the Imam Ali mosque in the village of al-Qadeeh.
He estimated there were at least 30 casualties in the attack, where more than 150 people were praying. Graphic pictures shared on social media showed victims covered in blood being taken away on stretchers. Other pictures showed shattered glass, debris next to the tiled pillars and bodies covered in sheets laid out on the floor.
The Saudi state news agency confirmed that a blast had occurred at a mosque in eastern Saudi Arabia.
In March 2011, Qatif was the epicentre of Shi'ite demonstrations against what they perceived as decades of discrimination and religious and political repression from the Sunni kingdom.
It was the beginning of an uprising that was met with a crackdown, a wave of arrests and cases of police allegedly firing on unarmed protesters.

11 Reasons Why Nyesom Wike Should Not Be Sworn In As Governor On May 29 By Joe Igbokwe

Be cause we have not sufficiently punished political criminals in Nigeria for 16years now, the hearts of our politicians have been schemed to continue to do wrong, believing that they are above the law and that nothing will happen to them. Impunity and political corruption have choked Nigeria’s development in the last 16 years and I make bold to say that time has come for us to sit up. In actions and deeds, we seemed to have democratized political corruption and consequently corrupted our democracy to the extent that our political leaders commit heinous crimes without caring a hoot.

May 29 Handover: No facts from Jonathan on fuel crisis – Buhari

Buhari
The president-elect, General Mohammadu Buhari, yesterday, lamented that the out-going administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has failed to provide the in-coming government with all the necessary information needed for a smooth take-off next week, particularly on how to tackle the current fuel scarcity in the country.
The President-elect spoke on a day the Senate directed its committees on Petroleum Resources ( Upstream and Downstream ) to immediately commence investigation into the remote and immediate causes of the fuel crisis in the country.
The Senate directive was sequel to the motion by the Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Senator Abdul Ningi, who had called on the lawmakers to pay serious attention to the fuel crisis that had created great hardship for Nigerians at the moment. Senator Ningi wondered why a country that has abundant oil resources should face the kind of biting scarcity that had increased the suffering of Nigerians.
But the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided over the plenary, noted that since the Deputy Senate Leader raised the motion under personal explanation, the senate would not debate it but would rather approve his prayers.
Senator Ekweremadu said: “Ningi’s prayers are simple and straightforward. He is asking us, as representatives of the people, to direct our committees on upstream and downstream, to find out what is currently going on in the oil sector and possibly find a way of addressing it.
“In that regard, we now ask our committees on Petroleum Resources ( Upstream and Downstream), to find out what is going on and what the government is doing about it and report back on Tuesday next week. That is our wish”

THE Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase, on Thursday barred policemen from detaining suspects more than 24 hours, stressing that appropriate due diligence should be conducted before arrest warrant was issued.
This was as he stated that over 36,599 lower rank policemen would be promoted in the near future from the rank of Constable to Inspector, adding that those who failed promotion examinations in 2009 as well as those who were sick or were reduced in rank would benefit from the promotion if they performed well.
He also banned policemen posted to provide security for top government officials from carrying their bags or converting themselves to domestic staff, just as he emphasised his disdain against all forms of corruption.
According to him, "management decided to invite you for interaction so we get first-hand information from you. We expect that you should no longer collect money from members of the public, you should be civil to the public and observe all forms of human right abuses.
"I sent out teams to all the zones and the report they have submitted to me is not encouraging. The idea of arresting people and dumping them should no longer arise. This is too bad. We have stepped in to stop all observed anomalies.
