JIBOLA DABO SPEAKS

Till date, people still talk about the role veteran actor Jibola Dabo played in a soft-porn movie, “Dirty Secret” that starred himself, Tonto Dikeh, late Muna Obiekwe, Geraldine Ejiogu, Ejine Okerefor, among other acts.

In the movie, Tonto Dikeh acted the role of a spoilt child, who sleeps with her father and her boyfriend. Her father, played by Jibola Dabo, was a gynandrous, who also sleeps with his daughter’s boyfriend played by Muna Obiekwe.

When the movie was released, fans tongue-lashed the three major acts who played their roles like a smut movie. And now, in a new interview with PUNCH, Jibola has confessed that he regrets playing that role. Jibola told PUNCH:

• Which movie would you say has been your most challenging?

I hate to advertise for any movie and I believe every movie I have been a part of has been challenging in several ways. However, the movie that I had to put extra effort is also the movie I hate the most, ‘Dirty Secrets.’ I played a role that is totally different from who I am in reality. I hate the character I
played and for me to do it well, I had to become the character. I had to hate myself while doing so. It was bad. After the movie, I had to keep telling myself that the character I portrayed was not who I am.

• Have you watched the movie?

I don’t want to see it. I have been asked if I could play such a role again and I told them ‘yes’ but only if I have access to the post-production stage. There are some things that should have been edited in the movie that were not removed. There are some things an actor would do to make his acting real that should be edited but they released the movie like that. It was so raw and it was terrible for them to put everything out there.

• You acted alongside the late Muna Obiekwe in the movie you’re talking about…

I felt sad about it. But the young man had been sad for a while because he had been careless about his health. He drank too much alcohol and he didn’t remember that he had a liver. He was also a chain smoker, but of course, there are also people that do it and live longer. I was saddened that we had lost another star because he was a great actor.

• How come you openly support polygamy; is it because your father was one?

No. It is because I am not a hypocrite. A lot of Nigerians are hypocrites, especially the educated ones. When you have a wife and several concubines, it is worse than being a polygamist. When polygamy was accepted in our society, we did not have as many diseases as we do have because you would bring the wife home. What I said was that I do not have anything against polygamy; however, do not confuse fornication and adultery with polygamy.

• Why are you not a polygamist then?

People actually think I am a polygamist. I am not one because I love deeply. When I fall in love, I like to show off my woman. People think I am a polygamist because I have children from different women.

• How come you have children from different women?

Growing up, I was notorious with ladies and they were notorious with me as well. During that time, girls had this perception that they could tie you down if they got pregnant for you. It happened to me with different girls because I was very popular and good looking. The girls kept coming to me. Also, there was the lack of knowledge of protection. When I grew up, I met kids that I fathered and did not know because their mothers did not tell me that they were pregnant.

• Which means that some women came to you only with the interest of having a child?

Yes, it is very true. People misjudge me now because of that. If a girl went through what I faced as a child, the experience would be tagged as child abuse. I had older ladies come to me for sex as a young man. It was child abuse, but nobody was focusing on child abuse for boys back then. Instead, people prefer to judge me. I would not be talking about this now if I am not grown and have more understanding.

• But you could have turned down their advances.

I could not have turned them down, because my feeding depended on that ‘aunty.’ It happened when I stayed with relatives. Some of their female friends liked me and made me do things a young boy should not indulge in.

• You dated popular actress, Ayo Mogaji, at some point in your life. What went wrong with the relationship?

I would say that the media made a pool out of a tea cup. She was my girlfriend in the 80s and when I returned to Nigeria, she was still unmarried. I funded a movie for her and we started dating again. She got pregnant for me and that was it. The media began to say that her husband abroad had come back home. I never got married to her; neither did I go to her parents to ask for her hand in marriage. She was my girlfriend and she got pregnant and I could not ask her to abort the baby. I was old enough to have a child, so I had no objections. I love my son a lot and now she has her husband.

• But why did you not get married to her?

Our lifestyles were not the same.

• Some believe you did not get married to her because it was reported that she normally got drunk at home.

No, it is not true. She was like that even before I came back to Nigeria. I had known her for about three decades and she had always been like that. That is her style. I read in the papers after she left me where she said, ‘I drink, get drunk and smoke, so what?’ It was on the front page. So if I could not take that, I would let her go.

• But as her lover, don’t you think you could have helped change her lifestyle?

I could not change her because I am not God, but I tried to convince her to stop.

JEGA TO BE REMOVED?

The Federal Government on Friday further compounded fears in some quarters that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, could be sacked before the general elections.

In an answer to enquiries on government’s stand on allegation that the INEC boss would soon be asked to proceed on a terminal leave, the Federal Government through the Minister of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, Chief Edem Duke, gave a rather ambiguous answer.

He said the exit of Jega from the chairmanship of the INEC would take a natural course. Duke, who is also the supervising Mtinister of Information, spoke with journalists at the headquarters of the Ministry of Information in Abuja on Friday.

While answering a question on whether the Federal Government planned to send Jaga on terminal leave before the expiration of his tenure in June, Duke said Jega would not be sacked as President Goodluck Jonathan had pledged, but added that his exit from the electoral body would be a natural sequence.

The minister said, “On the issue of the INEC chairman, I align myself with what the President said that he has no plan to sack the INEC chairman.

“That is not to say that if it is time for the INEC chairman to naturally exit his office, then the natural course of things will not take place.

“It is like saying a civil servant has done 35 years or achieved the age of 60; we now begin to say that he must not retire or he must retire. I think all of that is in the terrain of the Presidency and he has spoken. I have nothing to add to that.”

Duke added, “I will also like to say once on that issue. I recall that for several weeks now; people keep threatening the President on the shift in the date of the poll. You begin to wonder that parties have a couple of extra weeks in order to reinvigorate their campaigns and try to reach as many voters as possible. Rather than do that, you begin to identify imaginary pockets of unlikely developments and then focus your attention on them and then when you lose election, you begin to complain.”

But members of the All Progressives Congress in the Senate and the Northern Elders Forum said that they would resist alleged plot to sack the INEC boss.

The senators had on Thursday alleged that there was a fresh plot by the Federal Government to   prevent Jega from superintending over the forthcoming general elections.

The Northern Elders Forum warned against attempts to remove Jega and insisted that the elections must hold within the timeline allowed by the law.

The APC senators, led by George Akume, told   a news conference in Abuja that they heard from a reliable source that the Head of Service would direct Jega to proceed on his pre-retirement leave next week.

“We have received information from a very credible source that next week, the INEC Chairman will be given a letter from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service to proceed on a terminal leave,” they said.

The opposition senators alleged that the Federal Government was trying to use a circular from the HoS   dated August 11, 2010 to place Jega on compulsory pre-retirement leave.

They threatened to resist any attempt by the presidency to either suspend or remove Jega before the March 28 presidential election.

Some of the senators, who spoke with one of our correspondents on the issue on Friday, said they would employ legal and constitutional means to ensure that Jega conducts the next general elections.

Akume said President Goodluck Jonathan has the right to remove Jega, but could not unilaterally do so without seeking the permission of the National Assembly through a two-third majority.

He, however, said that Jonathan does not have the legal powers to suspend the INEC boss under whatever guise.

He said, “Section 157(1) clearly states that the President can only remove Jega with the vote of 2/3 majority of all senators. Under whatever guise whether suspension, retirement or voluntary leave, he cannot be removed.

Akume said, “ Section 157 (1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the President cannot remove the INEC Chairman from office without getting approval of the Upper Chamber.

“Section 157 (1) of the constitution reads: “…a person holding any of the offices to which this section applies may only be removed from that office by the president acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate praying that he be so removed for inability to discharge the functions of the office.”

He said, “We will resist any attempt by the presidency to sack jega for any sinister reasons. We will continue to say no to impunity and any attempt to undermine the credibility of the forthcoming general elections. We would never accept.

“We condemn what the Federal Government is trying to do. We will rise up and defend our democracy. This is the Road to Golgotha, the road to Armageddon. These people want to destroy this country completely and we will resist it.

“We are waiting for the president to bring the notice before the National Assembly and we will decide on its legality or otherwise.”

Also Senator Ahmed Lawan, (APC Yobe North), admitted that the President has the constitutional powers to remove Jega if he so wishes but that there is a procedure contained in the constitution.

He said, “The National Assembly must pass a resolution backed by two-third majority of members either giving accent to the request or not. That is the only way that the Chairman of the INEC could be removed. The President cannot do it alone.”

Senator Babafemi Ojudu, (APC Ekiti Central) said, “The President cannot suspend Jega because he has no such powers in the constitution. There is no law which empowers the President to suspend anyone who was legally appointed to occupy a position for a period of time.”

Ojudu said his colleagues were raising the alarm because the information about the plot to sack Jega was made available to them hence they would not ignore it.

He said, “We have met, and we are still going to meet over the issue. We are watching and already considering all lawful and constitutional options even pre-emptive strategies to make sure that this democracy is not truncated through Jega’s sack”

Addressing a press conference, the spokesman for the Northern Elders Forum, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, said that sacking Jega now would be a recipe for disaster.

Abdullahi said, “With regards to Jega’s tenure, any attempt at this last minute by this government or its agency to remove the INEC chairman is a clear message that the Presidency is determined to rig the presidential election in which its sees Jega as an impediment simply because he thinks that the commission must follow the rules for a free and fair and credible election.”

While lamenting that the February elections were postponed on “flimsy, clumsy and indefensible” reasons, he said the electoral body had for several months now been consistent and emphatic on its readiness to organise and conduct the 2015 elections in February.

He noted that the insecurity excuse given for the postponement of the elections must “fail because only a small fraction of the security personnel in the country are directly engaged in the fight against insurgency within the North-Eastern enclave of the country.”

Abdullahi said, “Assuming that the soldiers are needed, we need to know that of the about 180,000 soldiers in uniform only about 20,000 are currently in the North-East of the country.”

Meanwhile, most national and resident electoral commissioners have expressed their support for Jega over his readiness to conduct the polls.

They asked him to reject alleged plan by the Presidency to send him on terminal leave.

Saturday PUNCH reliably learnt that the commissioners were disturbed that the removal of Jega would erode the credibility of the polls.

One of the national commissioners, who spoke withSaturday PUNCH on condition of anonymity, said there was no way the results of the elections would be fair, if the polls were not conducted by the commission’s current chairman.

He said, “The whole world is watching us. Anyone who’s thinking about sacking Jega is not working for the interest of the country.

“Yes, there are plans and attempts at dividing us, but we need to remain resolute in this task. We should not allow anyone to put the country into shame.”

Asked if there was division among the ranks of the officers, he said it was possible as witnessed during the meetings on the postponement of the elections.

Another national officer, who spoke on the issue said, “We are all the same. There is no seniority among us. We are all national officers.”

It was learnt that not many commissioners were happy with the predicament of the chairman.

Investigations by Saturday PUNCH showed that those in this category included commissioners that supported the postponement of the elections and some who were against the use of card readers and permanent voter cards for the elections.

Jega’s term ends on June 30, 2015 but the All Progressives Congress on Thursday alleged that the Federal Government planned to send him on a three-month terminal leave starting from next week.

The chairman, who spoke to The PUNCH through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Kayode Idowu, had on Thursday said he had yet to receive any letter asking him to proceed on terminal leave.

Also, Idowu told one of our correspondents on Friday that the electoral body was not prepared to join any conversation on the chairman’s exit.

He said the commission is absolutely focused on preparation for elections. “It is the last thing on the mind of the chairman now,” he added.

An INEC commissioner, who confided in Saturday PUNCH, identified, “the move to send the chairman on leave as one of the reasons that forced INEC to shift the elections to March 28 and April 11.”

WONDERS SHALL NEVER CEASE: PENSIONEER CUTS OFF HIS PENIS AFTER WIFE LEAVES HIM FOR A YOUNGER MAN

Turgut Oymen, 73, was left devastated after his lifelong sweetheart, Nese, left him for a young doctor on the eve of their golden wedding anniversary. In anger, the heartbroken pensioner chopped off his penis and threw it in a river.

While Nese, 70, was 550 miles away in Istanbul, Turkey, she called Turgut to say she had fallen in love with a 55-year-old doctor, and had decided to stay in the city.

In despair, the 73-year-old rushed down to the river to commit the act before calling for an ambulance.

The bleeding pensioner, was taken to hospital where doctors operated to patch up the gaping wound after a search of the river bank failed to find the missing organ.

A hospital spokesman said: “He lost a lot of blood and is lucky he didn’t die at his age. He told medics that he had decided to get rid of his manhood because he felt it was useless and he felt like he was no longer a man.”

Mehmet Koc, 70, a friend, said the father-of-six had been devastated by the news, adding: “He was absolutely devoted to Nese and when she said she wasn’t coming back his whole world fell apart.

“He phoned her and begged her to return but she refused, saying she was in love with this doctor. He said he had devoted his life to her and could not even think about meeting someone else.”

Oymen, according to Daily Mail UK, is now recovering and being treated for depression.

SKALES AND WIZKID STILL BEEFING?

Skales and Wizkid

Earlier this week, a shocking beef between skales and wizkid arose.

A fan had innocuously asked Skales if he would feature Wizkid in his upcoming album and the Shake Bodysinger said he wouldn’t because Wizkid doesn’t have his time any longer. That was the beginning of the war. The artistes thereafter abused themselves on twitter to the dismay of their fans.

Later in the week, a source who didn’t want his name in print told Saturday Beats that Skales was really tired of Wizkid’s ‘façade.’

The source actually confirmed the enmity had been brewing even before it degenerated to the twitter war earlier in the week.

“They are not friends and they do not talk. Even the party they both attended recently, they did not talk to each other. Skales had been asking Wizkid for favours since they were both in EME and even after they left the record label but Wizkid always puts Skales on hold and keeps procrastinating. Whenever he tries to reach him on phone, he does not pick his calls and when he does, he acts ‘somehow.’

“Before Skales released his hit single, they were meant to have a joint project together, a Skales/Wizkid project but they could not reach a conclusion. Whenever Skales goes to meet him (Wizkid), he normally acts as if Skales is disturbing him. But the truth is that when Skales tweeted that Wizkid doesn’t have his time, he was only joking even though it is the truth. Skales got upset when Wizkid said that his home is also Skales’ home. He felt that Wizkid did not need to put up a show on twitter when the exact opposite is what is happening in reality,” he said.

However, the source believes that the two artistes would settle their differences soon.

“I think it is just the normal quarrel between two friends and they would settle it. Skales is not taking it personal at all and he is back to work and that is why he released his song, Je Kan MO, which is also trending at the moment,” the source said.

Some fans believe that Skales is probably envious of Wizkid’s success. But reacting to that, Skales manager, Osagie Osarenkhoe, who also managed Wizkid at a point in his career, debunked such insinuations. She told Saturday Beats that both artistes are doing very well individually.

“No one is jealous of the other. Both artistes are doing great individually,” she said.

YEMI ALADE DENIES HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH ALEX EKUBO

Leave a Comment

Alex and Yemi

It wasn’t really a big deal that Nollywood hunk, Alex Ekubo, featured in Yemi Alade’s Jonny video. But tongues started wagging when the two were seen at several events together.

Automatically, it was assumed that Yemi and Alex were an item as they were seen stepping out hand in hand at all events.

However, in a chat with Saturday Beats, the fast rising singer said that there is nothing between her and the actor.

“Alex Ekubo and I just shot a video together and that was it. Even though we attended some events together, it does not mean anything. We are very cool friends, there is nothing between us, she said.

When probed further if they were ever an item, she said, “I don’t have to talk about my private life, I’m sorry.”

However, she told Saturday Beats that she has five men in France who are interested in her and she would go back to see who is worthy of her attention.

She said, “I found five ‘Johnnys’ in France already and I am going back to pick the right one. I kicked off my Europe tour in Paris and it was on Valentine’s Day and that is how I met them.”

The dark-skinned singer also spoke about her instagram account that was hacked and the erotic messages sent to her colleague, Phyno, via the hacked account.

“I lost over 90,000 followers which made me a bit unhappy. The erotic messages that were sent to Phyno were not from me. It was the hackers that sent it to him. Right from the moment a picture of Snoop Dogg with marijuana was posted, that was not from me. My PR team has been sending messages to instagram but we are yet to get a response. I think it is because we are in Africa; they tend not to attend to our messages on time. But my team in London is working on it even if it means deactivating it. I have a new instagram page now. However, I started my tour on that day and it elevated my mood,” the singer said.

UPCOMING NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS REVEALS WHAT TONTO DIKEH AND HER TEAM DID TO HER.

In a recent interview with SUN, upcoming Nollywood actress Queentessy Eze a.k.a junior Mercy Johnson said Tonto Dikeh gave her the beating of her life when on set.
Queentessy said “I like the way Stephanie Okereke comports herself and how she delivers her lines. I also love Chika Ike for her politeness and humility. Another person that surprised me on set is Tonto Dikeh. I had always admired her acting style and was opportune to work with her on the set of Afri­can Bride. She was meant to beat me up and she really gave me the beating of my life on set. 
And I was like ‘after all, I know who she is so I am not surprised because I was expecting the Devil himself’. But against the beating and all the negative reports about her, especially in the media, I later found her a very down-to-earth and friendly person. She was such a delight on set. 
I was surprised when she later came to my room and apologized. She hugged me and explained that she had to do it to bring out the best in me. And when I saw the film, I appreciated her for the beating.”

LOVE: WIFE DIES SHORTLY AFTER THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND

A devoted wife passed away eight days after her husband's death...

A childless devoted couple died only eight days apart after 72 years together. Betty Balkwill, 85, died of abroken heart shortly after husband Norman, also 85. The couple met at a Christmas party when they were just 13.

They spent their final days on different wards at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital but were reunited when Betty was wheeled to Norman’s bedside before he died.
Close friend of the couple Derek Blatchford said:

 “They were a devoted couple. They go on so well. They did not have children - they just needed each other.They will be really missed but I suppose if they had to go this would have been the way they wanted it. They were devoted to each other for so many years.”

Their nephew Ray Balkwill said:

“After Norman died, Betty died just eight days later. I think she just pined away without him."

Norman and Betty (nee Craker) had met at a festive party 72 years ago and their friendship blossomed throughout their school days in Exeter, Devon.

three school girls said to have escaped through the turkish border

Three teenage British “jihadi brides” who ran away from home to join fighters from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are feared to have crossed the Turkish border into Syria.

The students, from Bethnal Green Academy in east London, were at the centre of an increasingly desperate international hunt to find them before they managed to enter territory controlled by fighters from Isil.

But intelligence sources in Turkey said Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15, appeared to have travelled by car to the border on Friday, from where they crossed into the Isil-controlled town of Tal Abyad.

A Turkish intelligence source told the Telegraph: “They were seen in Tal Abyad on Friday. They were travelling with a Syrian male in a private car. They were using Syrian identity cards.

“We understand that after arriving in Istanbul the girls met an Isil member who is charged with helping foreigners who want to join the group.”

The source said the girls stayed in Istanbul for two days before travelling to the border. An Isil source in Istanbul earlier said they would soon be in a position to join hundreds of its fighters in Syria, where jihadists are waging a campaign of terror against the local population and Western targets.

The source said: “They are in Istanbul and are trying to reach a town on the Turkish border to cross into Syria. There is someone co-ordinating with them. A smuggler. They can’t move by themselves.”

The three – who are described as “grade A” pupils – left their homes in Tower Hamlets at 8am last Tuesday, travelling to Gatwick airport together, where they boarded a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul, landing at 6.40pm local time.

To the apparent dismay of Scotland Yard, neither Turkish Airlines, nor the UK Border Force reported that the girls were intending to travel unaccompanied to the region, despite it being a well-worn route to Syria. Shamima is thought to have travelled with her 17-year-old sister Aklima’s passport.

Commander Richard Walton, of the Met’s counter-terrorism command, said: “On this particular occasion we weren’t notified that these girls were travelling. If we had been notified then we might have been able to intervene.”

MPs have now called for an inquiry into the effectiveness of border controls in stopping British youngsters travelling to the region with the intention of joining Isil.

Counter-terror experts estimate that as many as 50 young Muslim women and girls have made the journey from Britain to Syria.

It emerged on Friday that Shamima, Kadiza and Amira were close to a 15-year-old girl from their school who travelled to Syria last December. Rushanara Ali, the MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, said: “We need the Government to look at the arrangements at border control and whether they are appropriate for unaccompanied minors on these routes.”

Police questioned the three when their friend travelled to Syria, but they were not kept under watch by counter-terrorism officers as they were not thought to be at immediate risk.

However, it has emerged that the older sister of one of the girls had approached East London Mosque over her concerns about her behaviour. Salman Farsi, spokesman for the mosque, said: “I told her that if you need anything from us, just let us know, and she said that all they need is our prayers and she started crying. This feels quite close to home.”

Mr Farsi said he did not know who or what had persuaded the girls to flee Britain but that they had clearly been manipulated.

Worshippers at the mosque’s Friday prayers were urged to come forward with information that could help police trace the three schoolgirls.

Kadiza’s family said they were “completely distressed” and “extremely worried” for her safety. “We are sending you our heartfelt love, and continue to pray that you along with your friends safely return to us,” they said.

The Turkish intelligence force is understood to be hunting for the girls in Istanbul, along with local police assisted by the British police and security services, but their task has been made harder by the presence of a network of Isil “representatives”, able to hide the three until an opportunity presents itself to travel to the border.

It remains unclear how the girls became radicalised enough to take the step of travelling to Turkey. However, on February 15 Shamima used the social media site Twitter to get in touch with 20-year-old Aqsa Mahmood, a privately educated woman from Glasgow who joined Isil and married one of its fighters. Mahmood writes a blog and has previously used Twitter to urge British Muslim girls to join her in Syria.

Yasmin Qureshi, a Labour member of the home affairs committee, said more needed to be done urgently to dissuade young Muslims from “the illusion” that they are helping their religion by joining Isil.

Ms Qureshi said: “Some young people are under the impression that by joining Isil they are helping their brothers and sisters who are fighting Western intervention in Muslim countries. It needs to be explained that not only are Isil not following the Koran, but that the majority of their victims are innocent Muslims.”

Police are expected to return to Bethnal Green Academy in the next few days in the hope of discovering further clues and the intentions of the three girls, and to dissuade any of their fellow pupils who may be thinking of making a similar journey.

The school, which says it expects its pupils to be “active citizens and make a positive contribution to the local, national and global community”, is now likely to review the measures it has already put in place to combat radicalisation.

David Cameron urged schools to recognise their role in the “fight against Islamist extremist terror”.

Speaking in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, on Saturday Mr Cameron said: “The fight against Islamist extremist terror is not just one that we can wage by the police and border control.

“It needs every school to recognise they have a role to play. We all have a role to play in stopping people from having their minds poisoned by this death cult.”

Mr Walton said: “We are extremely concerned for the safety of these young girls and would urge anyone with information to come forward and speak to police.

“We are reaching out to the girls using the Turkish media and social media in the hope that Shamima, Kadiza and their friend hear our messages and have the courage to return now, back to their families who are so worried about them.”

Tal Abyad is an Isil controlled town and the Turkish town on the other side of the border, Sanliurfa, has long been known to have an Isil presence. It is believed that Hayat Boumeddiene, the girlfriend of the Paris gunman Amedy Coulibaly, used the route to flee to Syria before the attacks.

boko haram insurgents drown in lake chad.....karma

How karma works....

A large number of Boko Haram insurgents have drowned in Lake Chad as they fled the bombardment by Nigerian Air Force.

Though the number of the dead terrorists was not given, it was said that many of them died as they fled the aerial attacks by NAF jets on Baga, the location of Multi-National Joint Taskforce base seized by the sect in January, 2015.

A statement by the Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade in Abuja on Saturday, said the insurgents had buried land mines in over 1,500 spots on the routes leading to the town.

It said all the land mines were skilfully cleared one after the other, noting that the mining of the grounds could not save the terrorists from the aggressive move of advancing troops.

“A large number of terrorists have drowned in Lake Chad as they fled the heavy bombardment by Nigerian Air force heralding the advance of Nigerian troops on mission to flush them out of Baga.

“Not even the strategy of mining over 1500 spots with land mines on the routes leading to the town could save the terrorists from the aggressive move of advancing troops.

“Many of the terrorists died while an unknown but substantial number of them fled with various degrees of injury, in the series of encounter along the routes of advance of the as troops headed for Baga,” the statement added.

Olukolade said apart from the five anti-aircraft guns and the rifles captured from the terrorists, over 34 motorcycles and five vehicles including trucks being used for operations by the terrorists were destroyed in the course of the fighting as troops headed for Baga, noting that the troops finally began clearing the terrorists on arrival in the town early Saturday morning.

The Defence spokesman said a comprehensive cordon and search phase of military operation has now commenced to enable troops mop up arms and ammunition and also apprehend any terrorist who might be hiding in the vicinity.

The exercise, he added, would also determine details of the casualties inflicted or incurred in the course of the operations to clear Baga and environs of terrorists.

Olukolade said similar exercise is being carried out in over 15 locations namely Gajigana, Ngaze, Ngenzai, Marte Junction, Mile 90, Yoyo, Kekeno, Kukawa, Cross Kauwa, Kangarwa, Amirari, Kichimatari, Borokari Barati, Kauwa and other localities where troops have flushed out the terrorists in the operations preceding the entry to Baga.

“The troops are now dominating and conducting aggressive patrols in the locations; The morale of troops remain high,” he stressed.

amber rose beefs kanye west

From the look of things, it lookd like Amber's relationship with Kanye just dawned on her. here's what happened.

Amber Rose has branded Kanye West a "bully." The 31-year-old model, who called the rapper's wife Kim Kardashian West "a w***e" earlier this week, lashed out at her ex-boyfriend after he claimed he had to take "30 showers" after dating her before the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star would agree to go out with him.

Responding to his remarks on Twitter, she wrote: "Wait 30 showers? But Kim let RayJ nut on her.... Never mind.”

She also tweeted: “@kanyewest This is my moment to let the world know who u really are and the things you've done to me.”

Another tweet said: "@kanyewest after all these years I never snitched on u and I don't plan on starting now. We once loved each other so I won't do u like that.”

She ended: “@kanyewest I'll leave that up to the Kartrashians to humiliate u when they're done with u (sic)."

Amber got into a war of words on Twitter with the 'New Slaves' hit-maker's sister-in-law Khloé Kardashian earlier this week after she took a swipe at her younger half-sister Kylie Jenner, 17, during an interview about rumours she's dating Tyga, 25.

The former stripper also verbally abused Kim, 34, whose sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J was leaked in 2007. But the blonde model, who recently split from Wiz Khalifa, now claims she has nothing against Kim and is furious with Kanye. She tweeted: "I'm always so quiet and just a cool fun girl. The funny thing is I'm all for a woman making something out of nothing.”

Amber added: "Ppl make mistakes in life trust me I have. But when u bully other ppl and ur not perfect its so f**ked. I own up to every piece of my life (sic)."

Amber's comments come just one day after Kanye claimed she was just "soaking" in his fame. The former couple split in 2010 after two years of dating.

The question now is: why is she beefing?
