Karrueche Tran announces once again...that she's single...

Guess the MediaTakeOut report is true.
But why announce this when we all
know she will go back to him. It's not
the first time he's cheated...and she
keeps going back! Duh!

Zayo is the next big thing - DJ Klem and Puffy T

Anybody who is familiar with the
Nigerian music industry would have
heard of Zayo, the winner of KOGA
Open House Competition.
The singer who has finished work on
three singles (Ewomo, Colored, Basia) to
his name would be releasing a new
single soon. The singer has been touted
as the next big thing in the music
industry. He is signed to KOGA Records.
Speaking about Zayo, ace music
producer Puffy T, who produced his
single ‘Basia’ said “Zayo is multi-
talented, he is too good. He can sing,
rap and write songs. He is very flexible
when it comes to music. Initially I was
not too sure about working with him,
but after I heard him, I knew it would
be worth it. The music industry should
watch out for him. I can assure you that
in six months, if he has the right
promotions, he would take the industry
by storm. We are working on two new
songs and trust me; I was impressed
when I heard them. He really killed
those songs.  He has all it takes to be a
star and he would be a star.”
According to DJ Klem, who produced his
single ‘Colored’ “He is a very talented
and good person. I would say my work
experience with him was fun.  He
listens to advice and takes to correction.
I don’t think he can be compared to
other artists, although he’s an upcoming
artist, but judging by his talent and the
fact that he listens and takes to
corrections, I see him rise above his
present state in no time. He has the
potential and talent to be a star in the
future. He is very talented.
Zayo who will be releasing Ewo Omo on
Friday has already released ‘Basia’ which
was produced by Puffy T. The videos of
Basia and Ewo Omo were shot by
Clarence.

Bitter Experience:- Buhari’s Plane Denied Landing In Makurdi Airport

A chartered aircraft
conveying All Progressives
Congress, APC, presidential
aspirant, Gen. Mohammadu
Buhari (rtd) and his
entourage, was on
Wednesday, November 26,
2014 allegedly denied landing
rights by the authorities of
the Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria, FAAN,
in Makurdi, the Benue State
capital.
The former Head of State,
alongside his entourage, was
travelling from Bayelsa State to
Makurdi to woo delegates of his
party ahead of the APC
delegates congress scheduled
for December but had their
flight denied permission to
touch down in Makurdi.
A source said: “the flight was
earlier granted landing
permission but we were all
surprised when half an hour to
his arrival, a counter directive
was issued mid-flight thereby
forcing the aircraft to head to
Abuja.
“What they did was evil and
dangerous, what if the plane
was low on fuel, what do think
would have happened?
Desperation has set in in our
politics and it is posing grave
danger to our democracy.”
The Benue State chairman of
the APC, Comrade Abba Yaro,
confirmed the incident
describing it as unfortunate.
He explained that loyalists of
the party, who had laid siege to
the airport yesterday morning
were disappointed and had to
disperse when they learnt of
the unfortunate development.
He said: “We will certainly
react to this ugly incident
because what they have done
was not only callous and wicked
but also unacceptable in
modern day Nigeria.”
All attempts to speak with
officials of FAAN in Makurdi on
the matter failed as they all
declined to comment on the
issue.

We Are Ready To Fight Boko Haram – Female Hunter, Ladi

They may be known as the
weaker s*x but in the battle to
flush out Boko Haram from
Nigerian territory, they stand
equal with their male
counterparts. Fearless, pretty
and bold, the female hunters of
Adamawa State fear neither
man nor woman. To them, the
common enemy is not their
gender but Boko Haram.
Ladi is a dark-skinned young
lady in her 20s. Looking at her,
you would hardly believe that
she possesses the boldness to
confront members of the
terrorist sect. In fact, you
would pass her off as a young
man due to her masculine
features but she is in all
respects a lady. She smiles as
the reporter gapes at her,
wondering whether he is seeing
double. But she told Sunday
New Telegraph that she was
motivated by the desire to join
in the effort to save her nation
from the rampaging terrorists.
She is not alone, our
correspondent gathered, as
there are a number of female
hunters engaged in the Civilian
Joint Task Force. They are all
part of a civilian vigilante
coalition known as Ibn
Fadlallah’s forces. Barely
literate and armed with dane
guns as well as bows and
arrows, they risk lives helping
the armed forces to hunt
members of the sect in the
jungles of the North-East states
of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.
Asked why she mustered the
courage to join the effort, Ladi
replied: “Boko Haram’s days
are numbered. We are not
afraid and we are ever ready to
fight them. “Me, fear death?
Never. This is because I believe
that we shall all taste it
someday,’’ said Ladi, with
boldness etched on her face.
Ladi, like other male volunteers
was optimistic that, with
support and motivation they
would succeed. “I can assure
you that, with support,
encouragement and assistance
we can play our own role in
fighting the monster called
Boko Haram.
“We need support from
government and individuals to
cater for our families,” she
added, brandishing her dane
gun. Though she is married,
she declined to disclose
personal details for security
reasons. Ladi and her
colleagues say they dare to
confront the insurgents with
the inferior weapons in their
hands, vowing that, “If you are
committed and have faith in
God, you will succeed. We know
they (Boko Haram) are using
sophisticated weapons, but that
will not deter us from facing
them squarely. “They thought
we would be afraid; never! One
can kill a snake with his or her
little stick; commitment,
resilience and above all faith
are the key factors,” she
concluded.
Ladi is part of the large army
of hunters and CJTF which
battled Boko Haram after it
tried to install Amirs (leaders)
in Maiha, a town in Adamawa
State. They foiled the move and
killed several members of the
sect. The civilian force also
helped the armed forces to
liberate some of the captured
towns.
A state government official
involved in the recruitment of
the hunters and CJTF told our
correspondent that it was in
order to stem the tide that the
idea of drafting the local
hunters allegedly versed in the
use of voodoo powers came up.
“We are in doubt about the
sincerity of Nigerian soldiers in
the whole operation, and we
sense complicity as what is
happening. It could not have
been possible without any form
of collusion, so we began to
think of other options,” said a
community leader in Mubi,
AbdurRahman Kwacham.
Afterwards, the civilian force
was mobilised to tackle the
insurgents. Ibn Fadlalallah’s
army of local hunters,
vigilantes and CJTF members
were said to have been
mobilised by creating alliances
with towns to fortify and
defend themselves against Boko
Haram. “These brave warriors
have promised to liberate the
North-East from Boko Haram.
They are preparing and
engaging in combat in
Adamawa and Borno. All brave
citizens have been invited to
join the legions,” said a
community leader who didn’t
want to be named. In the first
operation, the local hunters and
vigilante group were reported
to have overwhelmed the
insurgents. They confronted
the militants in their hundreds,
killing dozens of the extremists
and recapturing the town.
Residents said the local hunters
were stationed in some areas
for four days, mapping out
strategies on how to recapture
Mubi before they finally took
on the insurgents. However, the
recapture of the towns by the
civilian force elicited jubilation,
with residents chanting songs of
victory to God.

FG To Buy Cooking Stoves With N9.2bn For Rural Women

The Federal Executive
Council on Wednesday
approved the purchase of
N9.2billion worth of clean
cook stoves and wonder bags
for rural women under the
National Clean Cooking
Scheme.
Wonder bag is a non-electric
slow cooker invented by Sarah
Collins, a south African eco-
entreprenuer, who came up
with the idea six years ago
during a power cut, when she
decided to keep her dinner
cooking by surrounding the pan
with cushions.
The council also awarded a
contract of N60.9billion to an
indigenous firm, KaKatar CE
Limited, for the provision of
engineering infrastructure for
Kyami District, Zone C, Abuja.
Supervising Minister of
Information, Dr. Nurudeen
Muhammed; Minister of
Environment, Mrs. Lawrecia
Mallam; and Minister of the
Federal Capital Territory,
Senator Bala Muhammed,
briefed State House
correspondents at the end of
the meeting presided over by
Vice President Namadi Sambo.
Muhammed said the
N9.2billion inclusive of Value
Added Tax was approved for
the procurement of 750,000
units of clean cook stove and
18,000 wonder bags.
He said the stoves are expected
to be delivered by Messrs
Integra Renewable Energy
Services Limited within a
period of 12 weeks.
He noted that the stoves which
will be assembled locally, will
provide jobs to Nigerians
among other benefits.
The minister said, “The
National Clean Cooking Scheme
is an aggressive drive to
engender clean cooking culture
amongst the poor rural women,
to reduce and possibly
eliminate cooking with solid
fossil which is detrimental to
health.
“The scheme is expected to
provide 20 million clean stoves
over a five-year period at the
rate of four million stoves
yearly which will be distributed
without charge.
“It will also reduce incessant
felling of trees which exposes
the country to ecological
problems.

2015 Election- Jonathan Will Sweep Poll In South West – Survey

The hope of President
Goodluck Jonathan of
sweeping the Presidential poll
in the South West geo-
political zone in 2015 has
brightened up with the result
of the opinion poll conducted
by a political group,
‘Forerunners Group’, and
which was made available to
journalists in Ibadan.
Forerunners’ officials, at a
press briefing told newsmen at
the Nigeria Union of Journalists
(NUJ) Press Centre, Iyaganku,
Ibadan, that 58.2 per cent of
the non-partisan persons in the
zone had declared their
support for Jonathan’s re-
election come 2015. Director-
General of the group, Hareter
Babatunde Oralusi, said the
group arrived at the
percentage of the non-partisan
persons willing to support the
President’s re-election based
on an independent survey
(opinion poll) conducted by the
group.
According to him, “the phase
one of the poll conducted in the
South West is to determine the
number of the people
registered with political parties
and the statistics show that 14.6
per cent of the population in
the region are card carrying
members of one political party
or the other and this indicated
that 85.4 per cent are non-
partisan.
“The phase two is to determine
the size of non-partisan general
public in the South West that is
willing to support President
Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election
in 2015 and the outcome
showed that 58.2 per cent of
the non-partisan persons were
willing to support President
Jonathan’s re-election.
“Out of the voting population,
12.6 per cent of non-partisan
persons were undecided on
who they were willing to
support, while 29.2 per cent of
non-partisan persons were
willing to support other
candidates from different
political parties,” the DG stated.
Oralusi said the 2015
Presidential election in Nigeria
would be similar to President
Barrack Obama’s re-election
based on the result of the
survey and could be predicted
if necessary machineries were
put in place.
“President Goodluck Jonathan
will not only be re-elected as
president but he will be re-
elected with overwhelming
majority votes.”

Policeman Kills First Class Graduate Over Girlfriend

Thirty-year-old first class
graduate of Economics from the
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria,
Moses Murtala Aminu was shot
dead by a constable with the
Nigeria Police. Moses had on
Sunday, left his No. 67 Ahmadu
Ahidjo Street, Narayi High Cost
family residence for a party in
Barnawa, Kaduna State.
According to his friend and
eyewitness, the police constable
who was identified as Alex
Okpe was beating up Aminu’s
girlfriend outside the party
venue when he tried to
intervene. At that point, the
constable got angry, reached
for his jeans trousers, brought
out his gun and fired, killing
Aminu on the spot. The
constable also shot in the air as
he escaped on his motorcycle.
The killer policeman has been
tracked down and arrested by
officers from the Barnawa

Femi Adenaike, the Kaduna
State Commissioner of Police
and he said that it was true
Alex Okpe was arrested and he

was not even sent to Barnawa
as at that time and he will be
tried and dismissed if found
guilty.
“The suspect is in the cell and
we have commenced
investigation. And if he is found
guilty, we will give him an in-
house trial and summary
dismissal so that he can face
the law for homicide,” the
police boss said.

EFCC Arraigns 77yr Old Woman & 2 Others For N65m Land Scam [See Photo]

The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, on
Wednesday November 26,
arraigned a 77- year- old
woman, Alhaja Mulikat
Shonekan and two others:
Martins Ogiogwa, 40 and
Mujekanm Petroleum Nigeria
Company Limited, before
Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye of
Lagos State High Court, Ikeja on
a 5-count – charge bordering
on conspiracy to obtain money
under false pretence and
issuance of dud cheque.
They pleaded not guilty to the
charges when they were read
to them.
Counsel to 1st and 3rd accused
persons, Bamidele Ogundele,
tabled an application for bail,
asking the court to grant them
bail on the grounds of old age
and heath condition;
emphasizing that the
septuagenarian would not jump
bail.
Also, second defendant, Austine
Akpomreta, presented his bail
application, and prayed the
court to grant his request.
While opposing the bail
applications, the prosecuting
counsel, Anslem Ozioko asked
for a trial date.
Justice Ipaye however granted
bail to 1st and 2nd defendants
in the sum of N5m (five million
naira) and N10m (ten million
naira) respectively, with two
sureties each in like sum.
According to the judge, one of
the sureties for both must be a
blood relation of the accused
persons who must show
evidence of 3 year tax
payment.
The matter was adjourned to
3rd and 4th February, 2015 for
trial.
One of the count reads:
“Alhaja Mulika Shonekan,
Martins Ogiogwa and
Mujekanm Petroleum Nigeria
Company Limited sometime in
September, 2008 at Lagos
within the Ikeja Judicial
Division with intent to defraud,
obtained the sum of
N65,000,000.00 (Sixty Five

Stones Limited, that the said
sum of money represented the
cost of 90 acres of land
situated, being and located at
Kemta Ososun village, Odeda
Local Government Area of
Abeokuta in Ogun State of
Nigeria which pretence you knew to be false” .

The Most Dangerous Cities in America

After falling for five consecutive years, the
number of violent crimes across the
United States rose by 1.2% in 2012.
Based on data published by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the
increase was even greater in some of
America’s largest cities. In 2012, for the
third year in a row, Flint, Michigan had
the highest violent crime rate in the
country.
According to the FBI, violent crime
includes murder, nonnegligent
manslaughter, rape, robbery and
aggravated assault. In some cases, the
cities with the highest violent crime rate,
including Flint and Oakland, had high rates
in all four categories. However, most of
the most violent cities tend to do very
poorly only in a few categories. Based on
the FBI Uniform Crime Report, these are
the 10 most dangerous cities in America.
Click here to see the 10 most
dangerous cities
Crime in these cities is typically not
limited to just violent crime. Three cities
— Birmingham, St. Louis and Oakland —
were among the 10 worst cities in the
nation for both violent crime and
property crime. In some of the most
dangerous cities, specific types of
property crime were especially common.
Flint and Cleveland had among the
highest burglary rates, while Oakland,
Detroit and St. Louis had among the
highest rates of vehicle theft.
The economies of many of the most
dangerous cities have been in bad shape
for years, in some cases long before the
Great Recession. The populations of many
of the most dangerous cities declined,
leaving behind highly impoverished urban
centers. The loss of economic diversity,
explained John Roman, senior fellow at
the Urban institute, only serves to
exacerbate crime in cities like Detroit,
Flint, Cleveland and St. Louis.
In fact, all the 10 most dangerous cities
had poverty rates above the national rate
of 15.9% in 2011. In half of these cities,
more than 30% of the population lived in
poverty. Detroit and Flint had poverty
rates of more than 40%. “It is very clear
that poverty in particular is associated
with higher crime rates,” explained
Roman.
However, the relationship between the
two is less certain. It is “very difficult to
say whether crime makes places poorer,
or poverty causes more crime,” Roman
noted.
In many of the nation’s most dangerous
cities, unemployment is also extremely
high. Seven of the 10 cities with the
highest levels of violent crime had
unemployment rates above 10% in 2012,
much higher than the national
unemployment rate of 8.1% that year. In
two cities, Detroit and Stockton, the
unemployment rate was more than 18%
last year.
Low educational attainment also goes
hand-in-hand with high crime rates. In all
of the 10 most dangerous cities, the
percentage of adults with a high school
diploma was below the 86% national
average. In five of these metro areas, the
percentage of adults with a diploma was
below 80%.
On its website, the FBI instructs readers
to avoid comparing city violence because
rankings tend to be simplistic and ignore
factors that influence crime, as well as the
different ways crimes are measured and
reported. For this reason, Roman
cautioned against directly comparing cities
based on their individual crime rates.
However, because the cities with the
highest and lowest violent crime rates
have remained consistent for many years,
he believes comparing city ranks was
useful.
Based on the FBI’s Preliminary Annual
Uniform Crime Report, 24/7 Wall St.
identified the 10 U.S. cities with
populations of 100,000 or more with the
highest rates of violent crime per 100,000
residents. Using estimated populations
and crime incidents from the FBI, which
measures incidents of eight types of
violent and nonviolent crime for 2012,
24/7 Wall St. calculated the incidence of
the four types of violent crime per

Dear Play House readers: Do you by chance know who got me pregnant?

Lol...I figured the person who sent me
this email must be joking because this
doesn't make sense...but still thought
to share 'cos it's kinda interesting. Read
below...
My fellow readers please help me.
I have been dating two men at
the same time for about 6
months. Actually my first
boyfriend I have been dating since
2012, I met another guy 6 months
ago and I also started dating him
but I am now in a dilemma. I had
sex with two of them almost at
the same time and now I am
pregnant. I had sex with boyfriend
A on August 2nd and had sex with
boyfriend B on August 7th, now I
am 11 weeks pregnant. I plan to
keep the baby I just don't know
which of them I am supposed to
tell I'm pregnant. I have no
preference. Any of the two can be
my baby daddy. Can anyone help
me figure this out? Keep your
judgements to yourselves please,
only serious answers needed.

Photos: Is there anything wrong with a 17yr old dressing like this?

If you're a mother of a 17 year old
would you be okay with her dressing
like this? I don't particularly see
anything wrong with it but people have
been bashing Kris Jenner for allowing
her youngest daughter Kylie to continue
dressing older than her age. Photo
