As a child, Aisha Bakari Gombi used to hunt with her father searching for big game in forests in the northeast of Nigeria. Now animals no longer roam there, and Aisha chases a different prey – Islamist insurgents from Boko Haram, one of the world’s deadliest armed groups that has ravaged her country for nearly a decade.  Aisha leads a vigilante group that helps government forces fight Boko Haram militants in the Adamawa state. Hunters say they can't stand aside while mass kidnappings, rapes, and killings still happen, despite Boko Haram being contained in a few pockets in the countryside.

The term paper which a postgraduate of student civic engineering (UNIUYO) gave me to assist him on brought me to this costly object and symbol of what The United States of America stands for. A pyramid, eagle, Latin phrases, etc. has been reproduced on the reverse side of every American dollar bill, but few in America know what these symbols mean. The key to understanding the meaning behind all of these symbols is found in the translation of the Latin phrase "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM," ("The New World Order") found underneath the pyramid on what is known as the Reverse Side of the Great Seal. Ralph Epperson has spent 27 years in researching the history of the two sides of the Great Seal, and has discovered that those who designed them committed America to what has been called "A Secret Destiny." This future "destiny," called The New World Order, is so unpleasant that those who wanted the changes it entails had to conceal that trut...

Mark your calendar: A Prince partial autobiography is coming out this fall. Just weeks before he died in 2016, Prince struck a deal to write a book about his life. He never got to finish what he started -- but a version of it is coming out this fall. The memoir, titled "The Beautiful Ones," will be released on October 29.

Publishing agent Esther Newberg told Vanity Fair   in 2018 that Prince de...

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has rebuked the All Progressives Congress, APC, describing the allegation that he is a Cameroonian as puerile, face saving, vexatious, absolutely and completely unfounded.
