Boko Haram denies carrying out Mubi killings

Boko Haram has denied any involvement in the 1st of October killing of over 25 students of Federal Polytechnic, Adamawa State University and the School of Health Technology, all in Mubi, Adamawa State.

The sect said they have no business with students or student politics and had nothing to do with the massacre as students were not their targets. They said if students were their concern, other students in other schools would have also been attacked by now.

Police in Adamawa said they've arrested some people in connection with the massacre... Rumors going around say that this was carried out by other students that were not happy with the student government turnout.

'My husband was always beating and maltreating me' - TV presenter, Juliet Ojukwu

Juliet Ojukwu is a former Soundcity presenter, actress and model. In September 2011, Juliet met US based Chima Ojukwu and within a week, they were engaged. Less than three weeks after they met, Juliet and Chima had their introduction - on the 29th of September 2011, which was followed by a traditional wedding on Oct 4th. The white wedding was scheduled to take place in January in the US but it never held. A few months later, Juliet changed her FB status from married to single. After months of keeping mum about what really happened, Juliet gave an interview recently revealing that her marriage ended a while back after just a few months.

"We parted ways over irreconcilable differences. We were incompatible. At a point, being in the marriage became life threatening. If I was still in it, my enemy may have been dead by now, all in the name of trying to make it work and to avoid what people will say. I had to cancel the wedding in America because here in Nigeria where my family and his family are, there were verbal and domestic abuse. Going to a foreign land where I knew no one would have been worse. So, there was no need for the American wedding since it was already failing in Nigeria."

Chima's friends alleged that Juliet cancelled the wedding not because she was abused in the short-lived marriage but because she found out Chima wasn't as rich as he claimed. Juliet says the allegation is completely false.

I didn't marry him for money and I don't know where people got that perception from. Maybe because I am an attractive lady, people assume I will only date for money but that's not true. What matters to me is love. If I was going to get married because of money, I would have been married to other men far richer than Chima long ago. But I turned down a lot of offers because I wanted to love and be loved. I am comfortable with the money I make from my job, so money wasn't the deciding factor in that marriage.

Apologies

My apologies my dear readers. I disappeared for a couple of days. The past week has been hectic. We had midterm exams going on and I personally wasn't feeling too well. Anyway, back with all you missed out on while I was gone...

A lot of things went down this past week.

The Taj Arabia is projected to be part of "Dubailand" - this is a theme park the size of Birmingham

This version will house a 300-room hotel and retail shops

The iconic building is to sit alongside other replica wonders of the world including the Great Pyramid and the Great Wall of China

The Taj Mahal will stand close to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and other wonders of the world

'The Taj is made as a monument of love and we hope to promote this in Dubai as a major wedding destination,' said developer Arun Mehra.

The Taj Arabia will sit within the extravagant, 107-square-mile Dubailand, which the city hopes will be the 'world's greatest theme park'.

It will be divided into six theme worlds and will be twice the size of all the Disneyland and Disney World resorts put together

The Taj will be part of Falcon City, a large plot of land designed to resemble a falcon spreading its wings, which should be finished around 2014.
