It was a show of shame when a supposed man of God in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State, was beaten to a pulp by some prostitutes because he went after another woman apart from his regular customer.
According to an eyewitness, the man identified as Pastor Effiong, had been secretly patronising the ladies of the night at a popular brothel located around the Watt area and had one of them as his regular customer. The witness who was at the scene when the fracas happened, said:"Trouble brewed for him when he went to the hotel with his bible on the pretext of preaching as he always does. But unfortunately for him, his regular woman was engaged with another man and instead of waiting for her, he went to another lady's room and was busy enjoying himself when his regular woman came out and was told that the pastor had gone to another woman.
I never knew that prostitutes could be jealous o. The lady went to her colleagues room and banged on the door, accusing the woman of snatching her man.
The one inside was not happy with the accusation and opened her door in anger and engaged the first one in a fight. Other prostitutes of hearing what happened, grouped and descended on the Pastor and beat him blue black. It took the intervention of other patrons of the hotel to get him out of the clutches of the women who were busy insulting him, calling him unprintable names.
It was a show of shame indeed."

A nun stunned her colleagues by giving birth to a baby boy after complaining of severe stomach pains.

The 31 year old South American nun, who arrived at the convent in June, when it is supposed she was already pregnant, was taken to the emergency department of ‘Bartolomeo Eustachio’ di San Severino Marche by her fellow sisters after she collapsed in the nunnery.

Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola, is unhappy about the speech that President Goodluck Jonathan gave at the PDP 2015 flag-off campaign in Lagos.
Speaking on Thursday during the Edo Town Hall meeting, Fashola is said to have stated that the president was unable to illustrate any accomplishments he had made in his last six years or reforms he hoped to implement if re-elected.
Here are excerpts from Fashola’s remarks, as reported by Premium Times:

BBC has reported that officials in Nigeria say the Islamist group Boko Haram has seized a town and a military base used by a multinational force set up to fight the insurgents.
The senator for Borno North said troops abandoned the base in the town of Baga after it was attacked on Saturday.
Residents of Baga, who fled by boat to neighbouring Chad, said many people had been killed and the town set ablaze.
Baga, scene of a Nigerian army massacre in 2013, was one of the last towns in the area under government control.

The fear of being attacked by citizens opposed to the President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term forced commercial and private drivers in Kaduna State to turn down the Peoples Democratic Party’s 70, 000 offer to take Jonathan campaign vehicles from Kaduna to Kano State.
According to SahharaReporters, the ruling party could not get drivers to steer the vehicles painted in the PDP and Jonathan/Sambo campaign brand to the neigbnouring state.
The report said several drivers who were approached to drop off the campaign vehicles said that Jonathan had failed the north and they could not in good conscience be seen driving vehicles with his campaign logo between the two most important cities in the north.
The drivers were offered N70, 000 each but they refused to move the vehicles numbering 80 to Kano from the Kaduna government house where Vice President, Namadi Sambo and Kaduna state governor, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero had them purchased and branded for President Jonathan’s presidential campaign in Kano.
The reports added that the Presidency intervened and ordered the police and army drivers to move the vehicle under armed escort.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has assured Nigerians and the international community that it will do all in its power to make sure the 2015 general election is violence-free, saying the rising apprehension about the polls among the populace is inimical to the conduct of a successful election.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party however said its efforts should be complemented by the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government, which has a propensity for using the security agencies to harass and intimidate the opposition and ordinary citizens.
It also said the FG should take all measures necessary to ensure that the elections are free, fair and credible, since rigging and other acts of electoral malfeasance constitute the immediate trigger for anger and violence during and after elections.
The party said: “We have heard from Nigerians who are so afraid about possible violence during the forthcoming election that they are even willing to relocate to other countries until after the elections. But, as the biggest opposition party in Nigeria and a major stakeholder in our nation’s democracy, we are assuring, on our part, that there will be no violence.
“Though our party has no history of violence, we have commenced a nationwide effort to sensitize our members and supporters to the need to eschew rancour and embrace non-violent methods, even in the face of the kind of provocations to which we were subjected during the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections, when our members were needlessly harassed, arrested and detained by partisan security agencies acting under orders from the FG.
“If the federal government allows a level playing field for all contestants, if the security agencies stop acting as the armed wing of the ruling PDP, if the electoral umpire will carry out its duties without fear, favour or bias and if citizens are allowed to exercise their franchise unmolested, the stage will be set for a non-violent, free, fair and credible polls. In other words, the government has a major role to play in making the forthcoming polls peaceful.
“On our part, in addition to other efforts aimed at ensuring a peaceful election, we pledge to accept the result of an election that is not only free, fair, credible and transparent, but one that is also seen to be so. We hope other parties will make a similar pledge.”
The party said it demonstrated, during its recent rancour-free and festive national convention in Lagos, that elections should be a celebration of democracy, rather than a moment of fear, violence and threat to lives.
It said far from mere rhetoric, it had taken practical steps, as far back as May 2014, to work with the PDP to ensure violence-free polls in 2015.
The statement by Mohammed said further: “Following up on a meeting of representatives of both parties in Washington, DC, US, April 7-8 2014 under the auspices of the CSIS Nigeria Election Forum, at which it was agreed that a joint meeting of both parties be convened to discuss and agree on the crucial issue of a Code of Conduct for the campaigns and the elections, we wrote a letter to the PDP suggesting a bipartisan meeting to address the issue.
“The PDP agreed to the proposal and suggested that it should be expanded to include the leadership of other political parties in the country. However, problem with logistics meant that the meeting did not hold.
 “There would be a pleasant surprise in 2015 elections” – Pastor Kalejaiye
“Even with the little time left for the election to hold, we strongly believe that a meeting of the leadership of the two political parties, the APC and the PDP, will send a powerful message to our compatriots and indeed the international community and douse the tension that is building up ahead of the election.”
