CNN Reports That Boko Haram Is Advancing Across Western Nigeria?

Most people outside Nigeria often have to depend on international media for news of what's happening in the country. And a new report on CNN today was shown with a graphics on the TV that claims that Boko Haram is advancing across Western Nigeria. How true is this?

I'm asking because I've not heard that Boko Haram is in the western part of the country which is really the south-west, or do they mean the North West? But even then, I've not heard local reports of Boko Haram being in North-west states like Sokoto, Kebbi, or Niger. Who can confirm?

5 Mistakes Women Make In Relationships

By Ekene Agabu

''Before I begin or rather let you into what I have written, I must confess that I had completed this article months ago but was a bit apprehensive in publishing it. I didn’t want to come across as being judgmental and if after reading this you feel judged or put down as a woman, please excuse my unskilled delivery, for that is not my intent. And if you feel that I have crossed the line as man sharing these with you, do not hesitate to express your disdain for my impetus.

Having said that, I feel qualified to write this as a man because I stand as an unbiased observer and also one who has had the opportunity to take advantage of these mistakes. But I must confess, we as men have been @$$#*%*$ . Where we should have given, we took; where we should have loved, we lusted and where we should have preserved, we devoured. As a Man, I must call myself to higher standards. Before I touch you, I must respect you like my mother, protect you like my sister and look out for your best interest like my baby – after all, that’s what I call you when I want you!

See @Zahra_3 - Buhari's Daughter Whose Beauty Broke Nigerian Twitter

When Obama saw pretty Zahra Buhari, above, he joined APC, LOL... So, Nigerian twitter has been agog after APC supporters put it out there that beautiful @Zahra_3 is one of the daughters of Gen Muhammadu Buhari, the APC presidential candidate.

I found it a bit surprising that some commentators I respect joined in the juvenile fun. But Zahra Buhari took it in good faith. She's based in the UK studying Microbiology at the University of Surrey in her 4th year. See more pics and the hilarious tweets and memes below...
