TRAGIC: Bring Back Our Girls Campaign Claims First Casualty

A woman, Hajiya Maimuna Danja, has been reported to have died on her way to Katsina to pray for the release of the abducted schoolgirls in Chibok.
The tragic death of the woman makes it the first recorded death since the Bring Back Our Girls campaign began some weeks ago.
According to reports, the deceased, who hailed from Danja in Danja Local Government Area of Katsina State, died in a car crash on Danja-Katsina road.
It was gathered that the late Hajiya Maimuna was travelling from her village to attend a special prayer session for the release of the girls, organised by the wife of the Katsina State Governor, Hajiya Fatima Shema.
The governor’s wife informed that one other woman who sustained injuries during the accident is still receiving treatment at a private hospital.

The First Lady of Katsina State prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased, and also prayed for quick recovery of the injured woman.
Mrs Shema also implored all Nigerians to continue to fast and pray for the safe release of the abducted schoolgirls, and for peace to reign in the country.
The governor’s wife called on parents, particularly mothers, not to discourage their daughters from going to school as a result of the Chibok incident.
She also advised parents at the prayer session to ensure proper upbringing of their children for them to become useful members of the society.

The Chairperson of High Level Women Advocate, an NGO, Hajiya Mariya Abdullahi, who also attended the event, expressed hope that the girls would be released unharmed, saying that "nothing is impossible to God Almighty”.
It could be recalled that hundreds of students of the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents on 14 April, 2014.
The leader of the Islamist militant sects, Abubakar Shekau last week said that he would not release the schoolgirls unless for an exchange for his brethren captured by the Nigerian military.
In response to Shekau's demand, the Nigerian Federal Government has said that they are not ready to negotiate with the terrorists even as international community continue to offer assistance to help Nigeria wage war against terrorism and rescue the kidnapped schoolgirls.
Reports say President Goodluck Jonathan is expected to visit the community where the attack took place over a month ago.

"Solange Was Not Drunk, Families Have Problems And We Are No Different"-Beyonce And JayZ In New Statement Addressing Elevator Incident

In a very surprising turn of events, Beyonce and JayZ yesterday evening released a statement to the Associated Press, addressing the ugly May 5 elevator incident. I say surprising because Bey and her hubby are not one to release statements to address issues like this. But then again, the elevator incident is no ordinary issue.Read their statement below:

"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.

The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we're no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.

The statement says it all, because celebrities are humans first, before anything else. Do leave your comments.
