The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja will today rule on the proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. The Acting Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Abdul Abdu-Kafarati, will deliver the judgment in the suit seeking to void the proscription and declaration of IPOB, as a terrorist organization. The Pro-Biafra group had through its lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, approached the court challenging the ruling it delivered on September 20, 2017, which outlawed it on the strength of an ex-parte motion the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, filed on behalf of the government. The court had declared as illegal, all activities of IPOB, particularly in the South-East and South-South regions of the country in the said ruling. The Acting Chief Justice, who gave the ruling in chambers, further restrained “any person or group of persons from participating in any of the group’s activities.” The judge further

  One client put so much cocaine up my vagina. After spending 11 months as a prostitute in London, Polly's ready to tell her horrifying story from the streets   Polly Trope* spent 11 months working as a prostitute, detouring into selling sex shortly after quitting her PhD at an Ivy League university in the US. "I had really bad mental health issues and although I wanted to finish my degree I knew I couldn't," she reveals. "So I decided to return to London, where I'd studied for my undergraduate degree. I reckoned it would be easier to find somewhere to stay and get a job there than it was in America."  But when she arrived in London, Polly didn't immediately get round to looking for work. "I drank a lot and took drugs and used up all my savings," she says. "One night I was thrown out of my lodgings because I hadn't paid my rent. So I just went into Soho, where I bumped into one of my dealers."

 Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai, on a mission to the International Space Station, apologized on Wednesday for saying he had grown 9 cm (3.5 inches) while in space and expressing concern about whether he’d be safe on his return to Earth.  Most astronauts “grow” during protracted space missions because their spines extend in the absence of gravity, but the gains are usually limited to a couple of centimeters (inches) maximum and disappear once they are back on the ground. The 41-year-old Kanai, who went to space last month for a nearly six-month mission, posted on Twitter on Monday that he had “a big announcement.” “My height’s been measured here in space and somehow, somehow, I’ve grown 9 cm! In only three weeks I’ve really shot up, something I haven’t seen since high school,” he tweeted. “This makes me a little worried that I might not be able to fit in the Soyuz seats for our return.” But a bit over a day later - and in the wake of a flurry of

Why are people interested in seeing Mercy Johnson's marriage fail?   This story didn't just pop up from anywhere as there were related developments which led to the idea of a possible crack in Mercy Johnson's marriage.  When the news that Mercy Johnson had deleted all the pictures of her husband, Prince Odi Okojie from her Instagram page broke, all hell was let loose even though she has come out to defend it. Now a lot of people would say this is a sign that these guys are having issues and that the marriage would soon crash or might have crashed already. A major way to justify these guys who think the marriage might be having cracks is the that a number of celebrity marriages have crashed immediately they start deleting photos from their social media pages.  A typical example of a celebrity whose marriage crashed after they stop following each other and removed each other's photos on their Instagram page is Damilola Adegbite.   The
