A  total of 6 applicants have been reported dead from the different venues of the  Nigerian Immigration Service employment test held yesterday across the country. The Nigerian Immigration Service decided to conduct a test to fill 3,000 vacant positions in the country and the number of Nigerian Youths that went to the various test locations was overwhelming. Below is a collage of the crowd at the respective venues of the Immigration Service Test carried out in stadia across the country. The Abuja stadium which is to sit not more than 60,000 people had well over 80,000 youths and only one entrance to the stadium was opened for the applicants. It's being reported that at least six people died during a stampede at some of the venues of the poorly coordinated test. The dead are mostly from the Abuja venue, including a pregnant woman. The alarming part is that these applicants paid N1,000 registration fee and there were over 2 million applicants...by calculation, that's about N2b...

During the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) Bike Road show which was held today March 14th and led by Nigerian Consumer Ambassador, Charly Boy, a horrible bike accident occurred claiming the life of one person. Charly Boy and other bikers were on the move during the road show when a horrible accident involving two of the bikers occurred around the Federal Secretariat, Abuja. The guy being carried in the pic above, Sani was later pronounced dead in the hospital, while the other guy being pictured has been hospitalized and responding to treatment at the Maitama General Hospital. A really sad Charly Boy sent out his heart felt condolence to the family of the deceased biker, the one currently hospitalized and to CPC. “I wish I could reverse the day” he said. Continue to see more photos from the accident. RIP to the man. Too sad! May the soul of the Late Sani rest in peace...Amen.

By Adegbenro Adebanjo The horrendous and barbaric killing of over 40 innocent students of the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, Yobe State by the Boko Haram Sect is proof positive that Nigeria is in clear and present danger. That killing has further diminished us as a people. It tells the rest of the World that the worst form of bestiality still takes place in Nigeria of 2014. It is sickening not just because of the number of children killed but also because of the sheer mindlessness and crude manner those kids were summarily executed. There is no justification whatsoever for the murder of those innocent souls. It is pure savagery. Those who planned and carried the crime out are mindless butchers and anyone who supports them one way or the other or who provides any justification for the gruesome act or tries to reap political capital out of this evil is vicariously liable and stands condemned too. It should be clear to all of us that our country is dancing on the precipice. Thi...

The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Mr Samuel Adesina is dead.  Adesina died on Monday night at an undisclosed hospital, Lagos after a protracted battle with urinary bladder cancer. His absence from the House of Assembly has been a source of worry for over three months. It was previously reported that Adesina could no longer perform his duties as he was moving about seeking medical attention. Adesina is the first Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly to have spent three years in that position without being impeached. He is also the first legislator voted three consecutive times by his people to represent them in the State Assembly. He was a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) before he decamped to the Labour Party (LP) on April 8, 2010 to pave way for his emergence as Speaker of the House of Assembly.
