Boko Haram is ready for peace, to make an announcement about Chibok in the next 24hrs- Aisha Wakil says

Lawyer with the National Human Rights Commission and wife of a Judge in Borno State judiciary, Aisha Wakil, who was recently declared wanted by the Nigerian Army for her close links with Boko Haram members, says the terrorist group is ready for peace now and may make a big announcement about the kidnapped Chibok school girls within the next 24 hours.

This comes few days after President Buhari said his government was ready to negotiate with genuine Boko Haram leaders for the release of the missing school girls.

According to the Nation, Wakil in an interview said after she has been cleared by the Nigerian Army and that she has been persuading the leader of the sect group to negotiate with the Nigerian government for the release of the girls that have been in their captivity for over two years now

“Since I came back, I have been on their neck. They have now agreed to come out and discuss with the government and bring back the girls. I am for the Chibok girls and all the captives. They are ready for peace. This is what they told me. I think they might post some information on YouTube within 24 hours”she said

Chris Brown released on $250k bail, Lawyer insists the allegations are false

Singer Chris Brown was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a guest at his Los Angeles residence, Baylee Curran, called for help from the police around 3 a.m. on Tuesday morning. According to Curran, he pointed a gun at her face after he became angry when she complimented another man's diamond necklace. A search warrant was obtained by the police and after a nearly 14-hour standoff, he was taken into custody.

Chris has however been released on $250,000 bail. His lawyer Mark Garagos is insisting that the allegations made against the singer are false. More interestingly, the woman claiming Chris pulled a gun on her is wanted in New York for questioning in connection with criminal theft.

THE JOYS AND THE PAINS OF MOTHERHOOD

MY MOTHER

A Warm smile spread across my face when my

 nurturer picked me up from bed.

Her angelic singing blessed my young ears as I

stared into the most sincere eye ever seen.

She swing me around with joy

and a giggle escaped my lips.

She fed me with milk of life from her breast,

Her tender arms and chest became my tent,

She would play with me,

She is the only one who understands why I cry

She would do whatever it takes to make me

comfortable and warm.

She would sing me lovely lullaby

and watch me sleep as the night goes by

but the wicked one took her away from me

by night.

A part of me goes cold and I wake up

I cry but no one answers

My best friend was gone

For gripped me as I felt loneliness at its peak.

Now I tour round the world alone....

INSPIRATION OF THE WEEK....

IF YOU THINK.....

If you think you are beaten you are.

If you think you dare not, you don’t!

If you like to win, but think you can’t,

It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you will lose you are lost;

For out of the world we find

Success begins with a fellow’s will;

It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You have gone to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before,

You can ever win a prize.

Life battle don’t always go

To the stronger and faster man,

But sooner or later the man who wins,

Is the man who thinks he can.......

Nigerian student who was told 'no space' for black students on theatre course graduates from UK University

21-year-old Eno Mfon has graduated with a degree in English and theatre studies from the University of Bristol after a lecturer told her there was 'no space' for black students on a theatre course. What's more, the said lecturer has had to pay to watch Eno's play on stage.

Eno took to her Facebook page to write about the incident alongside a picture of herself in graduation robes. She wrote: 

‘When you're the only black kid on your course and one of the head lecturers tells you there's no space for black theatre makers on the curriculum so you spend three years learning about Chekhov and Carol Ann Duffy but then realise that you can write your own stuff for lil black girls and so you do that, and sell out the Bristol Old Vic and the lecturer that told you there's no space for you, pays to watch you perform.’

Eno's play, Check The Label was so successful it ran for three nights at the Bristol Old Vic in late February. 

The play is described as a ‘deeply intimate piece based on Eno's own experience of growing up in dark skin, told through poetry, childhood games and music - everything from nursery rhymes to Dizzee Rascal’.  

Eno said she initially challenged the lecturers and course leaders at the University of Bristol after discovering that all the works she would be studying for three years were written by white playwrights. 

Speaking about the play, Eno said: 

‘I decided to confront the experience of colourism and skin bleaching which permeates the Black and Asian community.

‘When I was growing up I noticed visible changes in some of the women around me. There were little signs that revealed the use of lightening cream.

‘I knew how to spot the signs but I never understood the wider implications of this; it was a taboo subject that no one dared to address.

‘Through Check the Label I am attempting to say what many young black girls, including myself, once struggled to articulate.’

The University's head of theatre, Catherine Hindson, said: 

'I've spoken to Eno about her post and apologised that she had this negative experience.

'I've invited her to meet with me in September to talk through and get her feedback on changes we've already made in the new Theatre curriculum.

'She agreed that her experience studying here was a positive one in many ways. Indeed, her play Check the Label was made possible through the Studioscripts programme we fund and run through our in-house Drama Society Studiospace, in partnership with Bristol Old Vic.

'The University has made a strong commitment to increasing diversity in its new strategy and we’ve broadened out the curriculum significantly across the Faculty of Arts.'
