The Nigeria Police Force spokesperson Frank Mba has given an insight into the recent rise of female suicide bombers in Nigeria.Addressing newsmen at the National
Information Center yesterday, Mr Mba said Boko Haram men now use women because they raise fewer suspicions.
"If you have been
following the trends of terrorism worldwide, you will understand that
use of female suicide bombers is actually not totally new. It is
actually a new trend in our own part of the world. The reasons why established international terrorist organizations go
for female suicide bombers is clear. The major reason is that women
raise fewer suspicions, particularly with security layers, and so they
take advantage of the fact that women raise fewer suspicion to try to
indoctrinate and recruit female suicide bombers. The suspicion even becomes much lesser if the woman in question is a
minor and that explains why. In addition to that is the fact that by
rules of engagement that we are cultured to, male security operatives
are not allowed to frisk or search females but we are equally developing
counter terrorism strategies to deal with that.” he said
He disclosed that more female police officers will now be stationed on roads and other
places where stop-and-search exercises are being carried out.
"Nigerians should prepare to see more female police officers, more
female bomb disposal experts, more female DSS operatives, more female
soldiers actually in combat operations and carrying out
stop-and-search,”
In his last interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Drake made a comment
about Jay Z always using art references in his raps, which he described
as corny.
"It's like Hov can't drop bars these days without at least four art
references. I would love to collect art at some point, but I think the
whole Rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny." Drake was quoted as saying
Well, over the weekend Jay Z fired back. On Saturday night rap enigma,
Jay Electronica dropped a 'We Made It' freestyle ft. Jay Z where the
rapper addressed Drake's smart mouth.
"Sorry Mrs. Drizzy for so much art talk/Silly me, rappin' 'bout s**t
that I really bought/ While these rappers rap about guns that they ain't
shot/ And a bunch of other silly s**t that they ain't got."! Jay Z raps on the track,
Ouch!

Chris Brown says he's finally been scared straight -- because he learned pretty quickly ... jail sucks.
You'd think the photos of Rihanna's
battered face would have left an impression ... on him. But apparently
it took a few days in solitary to shake Chris to the core.One
source -- who recently spoke with Brown on the phone -- tells us, Chris
says he feels like "a caged animal," calling it "the worst experience of
my life." We're told Chris has been spending his time behind
bars working out and writing music. He's telling people on the phone,
"I'll never f*** up again."Not particularly convincing.
Lucky for Chris ... he's rich enough to buy his way out of jail -- as we reported, he's negotiating to pay off his
alleged assault victim in D.C. so the case goes away and the judge in
the Rihanna case lets him loose ... to roam freely again.
The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Church, Rev.
Paul Emeka, has been suspended from the church over allegations of
misconduct, highhandedness and financial
misappropriation in the administration of the church, National Mirror
reports.
Speaking to newsmen in Owerri, Imo State, the acting General
Superintendent, Rev. Dr. Chidi Okoroafor, disclosed that the decision
to suspend the former GS was taken at the just concluded meeting of the
General Committee held on Thursday March 6, 2014, in the Conference Hall
of the National Secretariat, Enugu, after the committee had deliberated
on the implications of his action on the image of the church worldwide.
But ever since the authorities took the decision to suspend the GS,
tension had continued to mount in the church as members were divided
over the suspension. While some members on the side of the suspended
General Superintendent felt that the authorities were highhanded in
their action, others particularly the church authorities maintained that
the church had degenerated to its lowest ebb since the administration
of the suspended leader.
In a letter dated March 6, 2014 titled “Re: Rev. Prof. Paul Emeka,
former General Superintendent, Assemblies of God, Nigeria” and signed by
Rev. Dr. John Ikoni, Rev. Dr. Chidi Okoroafor and Rev. Dr. Vincent
Alaje; the General Secretary, Acting General Superintendent and General
Treasurer respectively, they maintained that their decision to suspend
the former GS was hinged on the constitution which the GS acted against
by dragging the church to court without first bringing his grievances to
both the General Committee and the Executive committee members.
The church also accused the former General Superintendent of being
autocratic, and involved in financial mismanagement; abuse of power and
“above all took the church to court which tantamount to tarnishing the
image of the church and bringing it to public ridicule.”
While calling on members of the church to stop relating with Rev. Paul
Emeka as GS of the church, the committee maintained that he had “ ceased
to function in any of the duties assigned to the Office of the General
Superintendent in the Constitution and Bye- Laws of the General Council
of Assemblies of God, Nigeria, with effect from Thursday March 6, 2014.”
The committee warned: “ Should any administrative unit(s) or minister(s)
or member(s) of Assemblies of God, Nigeria, relate with the former
General Superintendent in any way that is contrary to the established
practice for all such cases in Assemblies of God, Nigeria, such
administrative unit(s) or minister(s) or member(s) would be doing so to
their own detriment, and would attract commensurate disciplinary measure
by the Executive Committee or the General Officers of Assemblies of
God, Nigeria.”
In a swift reaction, the suspended General Superintendent, however, said
that those allegations were targeted at discrediting him, adding that
those who are championing the suspension issue are doing so because of
their selfish and parochial interests.
“Some leaders at the top of the hierarchy of the Assemblies of God who
are championing this to achieve their political and leadership ambition
may be happy now that they are serving their purpose, but they will be
shamed,” the embattled cleric said.

Afrocandy tells Saturday Tribune that she is about to have breast reduction surgery because the heaviness of her boobs is causing her back pain...
"I have been having back pain lately, and when I went to my doctor for
that, he said I was carrying load on my chest; that’s what’s causing it.
Also, I can’t jog, run, jump rope or dance as I would like to without
being conscious of the bouncing boobies. So, I wanna be able to do all
that and be pain-free."she said
