It was a tough last 10 minutes, but yes, we did it! May God bless Vincent Enyema for all the saves, and also Odeweinge, doing all - defending, attacking, creating chances and scoring the first and only goal of the match.

Dreams fall apart: Story of Nigerian ex-bank manager dying in US hospital by Azuka Jebose

Inside the intensive Care Unit of Wake Medical Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, seven thousand miles from her country home, Ebere Ukwu sleeps, eyes open; kept alive by the hospital’s life support machine.
Her fate is hanging between faith and modern medicine. Her life didn’t have to come to this painful circle.

She was an ambitious dreamer that wanted to explore her young world and excel. The ICU room wasn’t supposed to be her final destination. But early spring of 2013, her exciting life of adventure suddenly collapsed during a visit to the Emergency Room for minor aches, pain and high body temperature.

Her charming life began at the completion of university education in 1991. After her Youth Service, Ebere got hired as a staff of the United Bank for Africa. Few years later, she shifted her loyalty from UBA to other banks, finally settled at Unity Bank where she rose to become the branch manager of the Tin Can Island/Apapa branch.

Where Will You Find The World's Sexiest Women And Sexiest Men?

Posted in: , ,

Travel dating website MissTravel asked members -- both men and women -- to rate the nationalities they find sexiest in a dating partner. The answers revealed a preference for women from South America and men from Australia, with sexiness found in countries everywhere in between.

So do you think Nigeria is on the list? No, it's not, but I guess the members of the website haven't traveled much to our country. The only African country listed is South Africa, and it is for sexy women.

So if you're traveling this summer, and you're single, you know where to go. And if your SO is alone in Brazil for the World Cup, you may need to book your own ticket now :)

Though there was no official press statement to that effect, by February 2014, BN reported that Hauwa and Keziah's friends had confirmed to them that the couple had indeed broken up.

Yesterday, Hauwa shared a short note on her Facebook page finally confirming the news.

It’s been 8 months since my world was turned upside down, and for the very first time I actually have TIME and space to reflect and really just be thankful for how far I’ve come and the lessons I’ve learnt. Its been good times punctuated by waaay too many painful real-life bad times and displays of general human ugliness for my liking. I just want to take this time out to say a biiiig thank you to all my old friends who reached out to me, held me, defended me, prayed for me and fed me drinks to numb the pain! U guys are awesome!

The ThisDay newspaper has published the names and pictures of majority of the schoolgirls abducted from Chibok in Borno more than 2 months ago. Almost 300 girls were kidnapped from the Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS) on April 14, sparking off an international outrage.

Since then, the Nigerian government has received help from the government of other countries including the United States and United Kingdom, as well as France, China, and Isreal.
