How I Escaped From Sambisa Forest – Abducted Student

What is your name?

Godiya Simon

did you escape Forest?

After we were abducted and made to go through the forest, we were kept in an open place in the forest. The place we were kept was not just right and I felt that these people might kill us. We heard many bad things about them. I then began to plan how to escape. I told them that I wanted to urinate which they said no to, but after I kept repeating it, they allowed me to go along with three others. That was the time we from the camp.

How did you know it was the Sambisa Forest they took you to?

From their discussion, we heard them?
I pray my friends come back alive— Abducted pupil Godiya Simon
I pray my friends come back alive— Abducted pupil Godiya Simon

Do you know the way to Sambisa?

No, I do not think I will know, you know we travelled at night. When we went to urinate, we started running. We were too scared, we just kept running, believing that with God on our side, we would get help.

Did the help later come?

Yes it did, after a long way from the forest we met a Fulani herdsman who assisted us out of the bush and onto the main road where we found vehicles back to Chibok.

What brought you to Maiduguri today?

We were told to come in order to watch a video which was said to have been released by Boko Haram so that we can tell them if the girls in the video are from our school.

Have you watched the video and recognised any of the girls?

Yes, we have watched it and there are many of our schoolmates there.

How did you feel seeing them?

I have a little bit of happiness within me and I believe they will come back alive like I did.

You saw some of them reciting the Holy Koran, how did this make you feel?

It makes me feel sad knowing that they must have been forced to recite the Koran. I know four of the girls to be good Christians that will never accept to change their faith. It is sad that they have been forced to become Muslims.

It looks like Solange Knowles and Jay Z have put all that elevator drama behind them!
Over the weekend, Beyoncé shared a happy family photo of herself, Jay, Solange and their mother Tina Knowles all posing together, seemingly proving that they've put the family drama behind them after the dramatic Met Gala brawl that occurred earlier this month.
In the cute pic, the foursome flash giant smiles. Jay puts one arm around Bey as Solange and Tina wraps their arms around each other. The happy family snapshot was taken Saturday during a mini reunion in New Orleans, where Solange currently lives with her son

Over the weekend, Beyoncé also shared a sisters-only pic of her and Solange.
The happy family pics come about two weeks after Solange attacked Jay in an elevator on the night of the 2014 Met Gala because of some apparent flirting that went down with longtime acquaintance and designer Rachel Roy.
This past Thursday, Beyoncé, Solange and Jay released a joint statement on the incident, saying, "As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."

Home> Health Transgender Couple Photographs Their Opposite Transitions

via Good Morning America
PHOTO: Rhys Ernst and Zackary Drucker, from the Relationship series.
Transgender artists Zackary Drucker and Rhys Ernst are transitioning in opposite directions and have captured their individual transformations in the "Relationship" series, a collection of photographs on exhibit as part of Biennial 2014 at The Whitney Museum of American Art from March 7 to May 25.
The photo series is an intimate diary of the couple's love affair and their gender identity transitions -- Drucker from male to female and Ernst from female to male. The photos span five years of their relationship from 2008 to 2013. The photographs include tender embraces, their bandaged bodies from hormone injections and also shots of Drucker's growing breasts.

Drucker, 31, was born male in Syracuse, New York, and is a graduate of Hampshire College. Ernst, 31, was born female in Pomona, California, and graduated from the School of Visual Arts. She had appeared on a TV reality show "Artstar," and he had been working for MTV when the couple met in 2005. They now live in Los Angeles. The pair have recently been hired to act as advisers on Amazon's new original series, "Transparent."

Going public with their photographs as their relationship progressed seemed "organic," Ernst told ABC News.
"We stepped back and we had a huge body of work. It felt like a natural choice. We didn't think about being in the closet. It's faithful to our lives and has a lot of layers, not just to do with gender."
Drucker told ABC News their project was "was an impulse to investigate and to record and to be an inspiration."

The installation is part of three collaborative projects by Drucker, who is a photographer, filmmaker and performance artist, and Ernst, a director and filmmaker. They have also staged several events at the Whitney, including a screening of their film, "She Gone Rogue," a series of tarot card readings with the drag queen Flawless Sabrina, which sold out.

"We have been very fortune to have had supportive family," said Drucker. "Much of that has to do with our socioeconomic background -- also being white. Lots of trans people are in very dangerous, precarious situations because our culture does not create space for people who exist outside the binary. These insidious elements of gender policing trickle down and effect all of us."

But, added Ernst, "the biggest struggle for us outside being trans is more about being emerging artists and struggling and trying to figure out how to pay our bills and make a living. Practicing our art has been really hard."

Hustler strip clubs offer Justin Bieber $1 million to do TV commercials

Larry Flynt's company proposes singer do raunchy ads for clubs in U.S. and London and says it can host a party for the singer when he turns 21

Justin Bieber, strip club spokesman? The Hustler clubs have made him an offer. Kevin Winter/Getty Images Justin Bieber, strip club spokesman? The Hustler clubs have made him an offer.
Justin Bieber has been offered $1 million to front a strip club chain’s TV ads, Confidenti@l has learned.
The offer comes from the Hustler Clubs, headed by world-famous pornographer Larry Flynt, which are planning a nationwide campaign to get men to stop “outsourcing visits to strip clubs and from now on buy only American.”
In a leaked letter filled with grammatical errors, marketing director David Lieberman makes a bizarre proposal for a TV commercial that would involve Bieber passionately kissing a woman clad in an American-flag bikini and burying his face in her “38 Double D’s.”
Bieber would then say to the camera, “Keep it here in the good old U.S. of A.” and “Keep the lap dances a-coming when you turn 21.”
Writes Lieberman: “That’s not really an ad, it’s actually a public service announcement for Justin’s legions of fans who (are) about to enter adulthood.”
The letter also proposes that Bieber do an ad for the Hustler Club in London, with a woman clad in a Union Jack bikini and the star saying, “Keep it here in jolly old England.”
Also offered: a party for Bieber and his dad, Jeremy, on the singer’s 21st birthday next March.

Lieberman writes: “There is a time honored tradition in this great country of ours of fathers taking their sons to Strip Clubs when they reach 21 to learn what it means to truly be a man, and Justin can set a shining example in continuing that uniquely American rite of passage — even though we know of course that Justin is Canadian.”
There’s also a warning that Charlie Sheen is next on the list if Bieber declines. The letter declares ominously, “I’m sure that I don’t have to tell you that this could be the last big offer that he will ever receive.”
One of Flynt’s right-hand men — VP of Communications Arthur Sando — confirms that the offer stands.
“It came from our marketing department. Mr. Flynt gave his approval,” Sando says.
The proposal comes at a time when Bieber is under severe scrutiny. He’s waiting to learn if police will prosecute him for vandalism over egg-throwing accusations, and the LAPD is investigating a report that he attempted to steal a cell phone. In addition, there have been lawsuits over his bodyguards’ behavior.

Vanished Girl, Mom Reunited After 4 Years Missing

Vanished Girl, Mom Reunited After 4 Years Missing (ABC News)

A Florida woman was reunited with her 12-year-old daughter Saturday after a four-year separation.
Jodie Borchert, of Deltona, Florida, had not seen her daughter, Cara Cox, since she dropped off the girl with her father, Aaron Cox, for a weekend visit in 2009.
Cox, 55, then abducted his daughter and fled the country, police said.
Since 2009, police from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office have searched for the pair but they had no solid leads for years. However, police got a tip on Monday that the pair was in the remote Hidalgo area of Mexico, according to a statement by the Volusia County Sherriff's Office.
Working with authorities from Mexico and the U.S. State Department, law enforcement officials were able to find and arrest Cox and recover his daughter. Police said the pair had been living under assumed names while living in Mexico.
After Cox's arrest, Cara was flown back to Miami to be with her mother for the first time in four years.
"The mother was waiting, anxiously waiting here in Miami for the plane to touch down and for her to finally meet her daughter after all these years," Brandon Haught of the Volusia County Sheriff's Office told ABC News affiliate WFTV-TV in Orlando, Florida.
Cox was in jail in Miami on a charge of interfering with custody and awaiting extradition to Volusia County, Florida. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office did not know whether or not Cox had retained a lawyer.

31 children killed after bus catches fire in Colombia



A bus packed with children burst into flames in Colombia on Sunday, killing at least 32 people, officials said.
The bus was picking up children from an event at a church in Fundacion, Colombia, when the blaze began, Col. Adan Leon told CNN affiliate Caracol TV.
"Everyone started to scream and run," a child who was on the bus told Caracol, describing how he escaped through a window.
Victims of the deadly fire included 31 children and one adult, Harry Aaron, a civil defense official in Magdalena department, told CNN.
Authorities are investigating what caused the fire, Leon told Caracol.
One witness told Caracol that the driver went to get a drink and left children to put gasoline into the vehicle's tank.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos expressed condolences on Twitter Sunday and traveled to the northern Colombian municipality to be with victims.
"The country is in mourning," he said.

The "Yasss Bish" rapper hit the red carpet at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards with a long black dress with cutouts that give us quite the look at her enviable cleavage.
The 31-year-old kept her beauty look simple, opting for romantic waves with shimmery eye shadow and black eyeliner.
Oh, and plenty of attitude, too!

The whole look is quite the departure for Minaj who, until recently, was known for her completely over-the-top style that included plenty of cotton candy-colored hair and outfits.
Not anymore, though. She recently revealed to MTV that her new, more natural style is her new way to shock people.
"I went so far to the other side that there's only one place to go from here," she told MTV News. "You can either continue doing costumes or you can say, 'Hey guess what? This will shock them even more. Doing nothing will shock them even more."
Shocking? Maybe. Beautiful? Most definitely.

Oldest Rev. Father, Monsignor Pedro Martins, dies at 103

0
Yesterday, the Catholic community and the country at large were thrown into mourning when news filtered that Nigeria’s Oldest Reverend Father, Monsignor (Col.) Pedro Ayodele Martins of the Archdiocese of Lagos, passed on.
He was aged 103 and had a been a priest for 70 years .
According to a statement by the Archdiocese: “With gratitude to God the giver of life, we announce the passing away of Msgr. Pedro Ayodele Martins this morning at the age of 103 years”
Born in 1911, the young Martins was the second but first surviving child of Marcelino Domingo Martins and Regina Clarice Martins. He was ordained a priest by Bishop Patrick J Kelly SMA of Benin City in present day Edo State on August 8, 1943. After his Ordination, he then proceeded to the University College, Cork, Ireland.
During his life-time, he filled many positions of responsibility, teaching at St Gregory’s College in Lagos as well as ministering in several parishes throughout the Archdiocese. He also served as Vicar General to the immediate past Archbishop of Lagos, now Anthony Cardinal Okogie. In 1970, he was made Monsignor. During his military career he served with the Nigerian Armed Forces, rising to the position of Head Chaplain to the Armed Forces. He served in the Congo and with many Army formations in Nigeria.
Reacting to the news of his death, a lecturer and formator at the SS Peter and Paul Major Seminary, Bodija, Ibadan, Reverend Father Melchiezedek Okpala, said that God had finally called Monsignor Martins home. ‘’ When I heard the news, my first instinct was thanks be to God because he had wanted this for a very long time and now, God had finally called him home. We must celebrate his long, illustrious life, legacy and give thanks to God for this dinosaur of a man’’
Also speaking to Sunday Newswatch, Project Director at Saint Albert the Great Major Seminary, Reverend Father Julius Olaitan, said Nigeria has truly lost a great man. ‘’ We just lost a great Nigerian and a wonderful priest. Baba was there for us all as a sign of God’s enduring love’’.
He added that even in his old age and frail nature, he was a courageous father who linked the young to their history and sought to help everyone remain in touch with God. ’’ We will definitely miss his elderly and wise counsel, his great sense of humour and spiritual guidance,’’ he said.

Man Sues New York City For $2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

A Manhattan man raised his pinky to his lips and sued , a bakery, two local hospitals, Kmart and a “Latina” dog owner for two undecillion dollars — more than all the money on planet Earth.
Anton Purisima, 62, filed the hand-scrawled lawsuit last month against those entities and pretty much anyone else he could think of. He seeks damages for “civil rights violations, personal injury, discrimination on national origin, retaliation, harassment, fraud, attempted murder, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy to defraud,” the New York Post reports.
Purisima is representing himself in the hope that he can score the insane amount of money, which was written with a 2 and 36 zeros. It looks like this: $2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
His claims range from an infected middle finger he suffered when he was bit by a “rabies-infected” dog on a bus, to a “Chinese couple” taking pictures of him at a hospital. He said no money in the world could satisfy him, so his damages are “priceless.”
Past that, it’s hard to figure out what exactly he’s suing for. His number isn’t listed, and he didn’t respond to calls for comment from reporters.

'Godzilla 2' or 'Pacific Rim 2'? Which One Would You Prefer?


Let's pretend you can only like the new Godzilla or last year's Pacific Rim. Not both or neither.
It's easy for me, because I actually have a huge preference. I was really bored during the latter and on the edge of my seat with wonder during the former. Guillermo Del Toro's kaiju vs. jaeger movie has cool-looking visuals done unimaginatively, whereas Gareth Edwards does amazing and clever things with the frame in his reboot of the King of the Monsters.
I say reboot becase with expectations for a huge opening this weekend, Godzilla is sure to get a sequel. Many fans hope it'll pit the giant lizard against Mothra. I think it should be a creature that doesn't fly, because we just got that with the MUTOs. Maybe it ought to be Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. That would sure show the fans and makers of Pacific Rim, to do a monster/robot battle.
Of course, both movies were actually made by Legendary Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros., so there's no reason for competition. Yet there are sure to be many who'd prefer Pacific Rim 2, in spite of the fact that it's total domestic gross was about what Godzilla will earn in its opening weekend (name recognition does matter!) and the fact that it received slightly worse reviews (both are fresh on Rotten Tomatoes).
Legendary would love to do a sequel to Pacific Rim, but not just to do one. Slashfilm relays a recent quote from the production company's CEO, Tomas Tull, where he says they're in no hurry and will only do a part 2 if Del Toro has another great story to tell. "If we can crack the story, we all think it’s great and it’s him at the helm, then fantastic. But right now there’s nothing going on officially to proclaim," he said.
Meanwhile, Godzilla 2 will probably be greenlit by Monday morning, with no script or even an idea in place.
How about this, though: the two properties combine as a battle between Godzilla and the jaegers, but Edwards is in charge of the former and Del Toro is in charge of the latter. Is there any technology out yet that will allow two filmmakers to compete against each other in a single project? Maybe like what Ken Kwapis and Marisa Silver did for He Said, She Said, except more intertwined and action-packed.

Which franchise should be extended, if only one, Godzilla or Pacific Rim?
Here are some responses received so far via Twitter:
 





















 

Deryck Whibley: I Secretly Spent Month in Hospital for Alcoholism After Nearly Dying From Kidney and Liver Collapse (PHOTOS)

Deryck Whibley says he secretly spent the last month in the hospital receiving treatment for alcoholism.
PHOTOS BELOW





In a blog post titled “Rock Bottom,” Avril Lavigne’s ex-husband apologizes to fans for being “m.i.a. lately,” before revealing he’s “been very sick in the hospital for a month and was pretty sick for a few weeks leading up to my trip to the hospital.”
Whibely goes on admit that the reason he fell ill was due to “all the hard boozing i’ve been doing over the years.”

He writes:
“i was drinking hard every day. until one night. i was sitting at home, poured myself another drink around mid night and was about to watch a movie when all of a sudden i didn’t feel so good. i then collapsed to the ground unconscious. my fiancé got me rushed to the hospital where they put me into the intensive care unit. i was stuck with needles and i.v.’s all over. i was completely sedated the FIRST WEEK. when i finally woke up the next day i had no idea where i was. my mum and step dad were standing over me. i was so freaked out. my liver and kidney’s collapsed on me.”
The Sum 41 front man admits, “Needless to say it scared me straight. i finally realized i can’t drink anymore. if i have one drink the doc’s say i will die.”
“I’m not preaching or anything but just always drink responsibly. i didn’t, and look where that got me,” adds Whibley.
Lavigne, who split from the rocker in 2009, tweeted after the news, “Spoke to @Sum41 Deryck today. I am so proud of him. He is family to me and always will be. #StayStrongDeryck.”
Whibley also shared some personal — and graphic — photos from the hospital.

We Need To Make Hard Choices in Nigeria - Hillary Clinton

Yes, we need to make hard choices in Nigeria but Nigeria’s problem is not bad leadership but simply bad followership …We are all guilty and have all lost absolute sense of patriotism in our mad scramble for power
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, a former United States Senator from New York, First Lady and Secretary of State is
a woman I admire in many ways. In years to come, the history of democracy cannot be written without outlining her genuine and sincere contributions to global democracy. She has not only re-defined International Diplomacy but has also fought for the rights of people left out and left behind of governments policies worldwide, the people she termed  ’’those who feels invisible to their government’’. This great Amazon has made one of the best speeches on earth and I honestly wished we had a Hillary Clinton in Nigeria. But listening to her speech few days ago concerning Nigeria, I was convinced that she was largely misinformed on the true state of the country.
Nigeria has made bad choices, not hard choices, Senator Clinton stated in a New York event she attended, challenging the credibility and quality of the country's leadership under President Jonathan's watch. This I may not argue as she has her reasons, but her statement would have been better said this way Nigerian Citizens have made bad choices, not hard choices.
When on that cold winter morning of December 2001 I embarked on an ill-fated trip to the University of Maiduguri to contest for an elective position into the Executive Council of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), it never occurred to me that I was on a journey of self-discovery. When I look back at all my years in students and youth activism, I can confidently affirm without apology that the WORST STUDENTS UNION GOVERNMENT IS BETTER THAN THE CURRENT POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT WE HAVE IN THE COUNTY TODAY. The political orientation of an average Nigerian student is greater than that of our  Political party card carrying member in the country today and the worst Student Union Leader is centuries ahead of most of the Politicians masquerading as our National and Regional Policy makers today…..HOW DID WE GET TO THIS STAG
The answer is not far-fetched. Because of our greed, sectionalism, apathy and unpatriotism, we have destroyed Nigeria. We have thrown competence, integrity, capability and experience to the gutters and welcomed MONEY POLITICS, AMALA POLITICS, ITS OUT TURN POLITICS, HOW MUCH CAN YOU PAY ME POLITICS, DOUBLE REGISTRATION POLITICS, COURT INJUCTION POLITICS, HOW MANY OIL WELLS DO YOU HAVE POLITICS and all those nonsense that have absolutely nothing to do with Democracy….How does these have anything to do with Jonathan Goodluck?.This is the area where I disagree with Senator Clinton and this is where I believe she got it wrong
Where did we learn to acquire black market court injunctions with most of them flying throw the windows to stop a legitimate electoral process in Nigeria. When did we learn to bitterly criticize in a scheme to run ourselves down? Whereas a student’s Union Opposition constructively criticizes a sitting government to bring out the best for the general interest of all students, Opposition Political parties criticizes to destroy a government at the detriments of the citizenry. What happened to constructive criticism? We don’t even have an opposition shadow government, what we have are just praise singers for any government in power. When did we start glorifying money bags and drop outs who seeks power, sometimes we even send emissaries to them begging then to contest, because of what’s in it for us. When did we learn to collect N500 to vote during elections, to vote people who are unqualified and ask them to hold offices in trust for us, are we that cheap or is it ideological poverty? When did we learn to internationally disgrace our leaders not because there are good evidence of corruption but because we felt that their ENGLISH was not good enough, what has happened to our sense of patriotism?. What has all these got to do with Mr.  President?. How did we get to this stage?
BAD FOLLOWERSHIP is the bane of Nigeria’s young democracy. It is the precursor of bad Leadership and the eternal mother of Corruption. The federal government is responsible for most of the concerns of the country including economic productivity and security. But the president cannot be held responsible for every Bank Staff that defraud the Banking sector nor should he be held responsible for the failure of our parents to teach our children the sanctity of human life, turning them into political and religious tools for violence and Terrorism (Boko Haram) and killing women and children in their sleep. Come on, these and others have nothing to do with the President. It has more to do with us. In our mad scramble for power and sectionalism we have thrown decorum to the wind. We have also destroyed our youths and Students Unions that was once the last bastion of the common man and now we want to destroy Nigeria
Yes, Senator Clinton was right, we have all made bad choices. we make bad choices every day we refuse to train our children the basic principle of love, tolerance and patriotism .We make a bad choice each day we collect N500 to vote at the polling Units. We make bad choices each day we send emissaries to known corrupt miscreants to contest elective position for the reason that we will get some economic tips from them (I see it happen daily in Nigeria).We make bad choices each day we fight and kill each other on religious, ethnic or sectional ends We make bad choices each day we celebrate corruption in the country and say it’s a tradition. We make bad choices all the time and we make bad choices out of Political apathy every day we say Politicians are the same and Politics doesn’t matter, and then allow persons of questionable characters to hold positions of trust for us. We have really made a lot of bad choices in Nigeria
But then, we can decide to either continue dwindling in bad followership choices or we can decide to restructure, reconstruct, restart and rework Nigeria by starting to make hard choices today. Making hard choices requires sacrifices but the question is ’’Do we have the will for Sacrifices’’? When some of us left our Jobs in Europe and across the world to come home to support Comrade Tony Nwoye for the Governorship of Anambra state in 2013,we came, being mindful that even if the electorates have not yet acquired the will to make good choices for themselves and that even if we may not believe in the system anymore, we still believe in Comrade Tony Nwoye having known from his antecedents that as long as there is a single breath left in him, he will not stop making hard choices for Anambra State. Hard Choices requires sacrifices, giving up of personal interest for the best of the country. Let us start learning to love one another and above all, let’s imbibe the spirit of Patriotism
We are all guilty but it’s not yet late to make amends. The sky is still blue. We can all get going by starting to make hard choices today
Once more I salute Senator Hillary Clinton who has been a source of inspiration to people like us who will never stop at making the much needed hard Choices for Nigeria

A female banker and her lover died while having s*x at Eziudo autonomous community in Ezinihitte, Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State. According to Daily Trust,the two deceased are Mrs. Adejoke Ayeola, 44, from Iperu Remo in Ogun State, and Wilson Ugwunna, 42. Both have two children each with their respective spouses. Mrs. Ayeola was said to have been married to a traditional ruler in Ogun State. It has been gathered that Mr. Ugwunna’s family were alerted when he failed to show up on April 27, 2014. Both lovers were discovered in a bed together.
