Image
Personally, I think the police should start arresting people who inflict such injuries on others. Call it 'attempted murder' or something like that and lock them up for at least a year. How can anyone be so heartless to do this to another human being? A female lawyer based in Calabar Cross River State, Florence Ujinka, was picked up and interrogated by the police for torturing her 13 year old househelp, Chidera Asonye Nathaniel. Florence is reported to have used an old fan belt to inflict marks on young Chidera.

"Mrs Florence Ujinka has been subjecting Chidera to inhuman and degrading treatment by torturing him with an automobile fan belt and in ...

SAN FRANCISCO, February 21, (THEWILL) -  Following Thursday’s suspension of Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Governor of the Central Bank by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, THEWILL has exclusively obtained a copy of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report that ripped apart the 2012 audited financial statement of the apex bank and exposed the fraud, excesses and wastefulness of Sanusi and the CBN.

The WhatsApp instant messaging app has suffered an outage just days after it was snapped up by Facebook for $19bn (£11.4bn). WhatsApp, which has more than 450 million monthly users, said it was having “server issues” on Saturday night. The firm tweeted at 8.16pm UK time: “We hope to be back up and recovered shortly.” Users reacted angrily, saying their chat conversations were only showing a loading asterisk and the alert “Connecting…” Taylor ITWT16 said on Twitter: “As Soon As Facebook Buys Whatsapp, Whatsapp Starts Malfunctioning.” Jazzy Marwaha tweeted: “Its been like 4 hours, you would have thought they could sort whatsapp out by now.” By 10.30pm the service appeared to be working again. Facebook announced last Thursday that it would pay $4bn (£2.4bn) in cash and $15bn (£9bn) in Facebook shares as part of the deal to buy the real-time messaging service. The app’s founders and employees will get $3bn (£1.8bn) of the shares as restricted stock that will vest over four years...
