THE messy bribery scandal involving a member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Lawan, and owner of Zenon Oil and Gas Limited, Femi Otedola, took an interesting twist on Monday.
First, The PUNCH learnt early yesterday that the bribery video might be aired on national television anytime soon. Our correspodents gathered that six video tapes and 16 audio tapes were likely to be made available to major television networks in the coming days. However, our correspondents could not confirm if the tapes were to be released by the State Security Service or one of the parties to the dispute.
The clarion call has been sounded across the country as the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, opens its camps nationwide today to Batch B corps members, but the youth are having reservations and are reluctant to answer the call to serve in some parts of the country.
Following incessant bomb blasts and gun battle in the Northern part of the country, most youth and their parents have rejected the offer to serve in the war-torn states. But the NYSC had put its foot down saying it will not rescind on the decision. The NYSC orientation camp in Maiduguri for example has been closed since last year.
The NYSC Director- General, Brig-Gen Nnamdi Okore-Affa has said, “Nigeria has 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT. By our mandate, we must post corps members to all states.
“However, because some areas have been described as volatile, what we will do is to reduce the number of corps member sent to such states. They will be posted to areas where their security will be guaranteed.
“The truth is that each state deserves corps members. We will not deliberately send corps members to violence-prone areas, but we will send to at least state capitals.” Inspite of Okore-Affa's statement though, there have been calls for the NYSC to be reviewed so that coprs members will serve in their zones of origin. A Parents-Teachers Association bigwig, Michael Nwachukwu, said that although NYSC scheme was laudable, the insurgency in those troubled places had made nonsense of it.

Controversial maverick entertainment personality, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has set another record with his confession that he is gay. By so confessing, he becomes only the second publicly known gay man in Nigeria.
This is a record that Pastor Rowland Macaulay beat him to by being the first Nigerian to openly come out and even establish a church that catered for only gays. Those who know Charly Boy well however say he’s not someone who likes being a follower. He’s always a leader in everything he does and he’s now ready to take his rightful leadership position in the gay world.

http://www.infonigeria.net/images/stories/kids.jpgA 27-YEAR-OLD unemployed man at Sepe Timpom in Kumasi on Wednesday May, 2, stabbed his two daughters and their pregnant mother with a sharp knife, sending the two innocent children to their graves, and severely injuring their mother in the process.
The suspect, Kwadwo Yeboah aka ‘Makafi,’ believed to be a chain ‘Wee’ smoker, after committing the crime around 11am, tried taking his own life by hanging in the room where he had committed the crime but he failed as the metal on which he hanged himself got broken and he landed on the ground.
The deceased persons, whose stomachs were slashed open, with their intestines gushing out, are Abena Adwubi, 4, and one-and-a-half-year-old Francisca Ama Oforiwaa.
Their bodies were found in a pool of blood, alongside their weak-looking mother, in their room by their grandmother around 8pm on Wednesday after they were stabbed in the morning. Their bodies have since been deposited at the KATH morgue.
The pregnant woman, whose name was given as Yaa Oforiwaa, 26, who miraculously survived the attack after being stabbed in the stomach, is currently in a critical condition at the KATH emergency ward.
Makafi, whose actions have been described as callous by Kumasi residents, reportedly went into hiding. He is still on the run as the police have mounted a search for him. Read full story http://www.infonigeria.net/news/africa/869
