KAREN BIG BROTHER RETURNS TO LAGOS TODAY 4TH AUGUST 2011

She arrived Murtala Muhammed International Airport from Johannesburg, South Africa at about 2:25pm.

she flew aboard Arik Air with her former house mate Vina Loupet 

  

Multichoice officials who welcomed the winner were all dressed in black.

Karen Igho winner of the $200,000, greeted excited fans dressed in pink.

The winner and ex-housemate were conveyed from the airport in a branded coaster bus.

But is that all there is to say about the 27 year old winner

Based on our African values can we really say that she was as a house mate, an embodiment of all we hold dear or have our morals all flown through the window

She arrived Nigeria in style and a lot of people celebrate her return, my question is... at what cost?

Man kills wife in cold blood

Arowolo Akolade, the man you see before you has been confirmed a murderer by the Nigerian police.



There is no concrete report as to what transpired the day he murdered his wife.


Friends of the deceased became concerned when Titilayo, a banker who was a staff of Skye bank till her death, didn't appear at work or get in touch with any of her colleagues for days.


Police officers were called in and on getting to the couple's residence discovered Titilayo's dismembered body being tended to what appeared to be a distraught Akolade.


He has since been arrested.


Akolade and Titilayo had been married for only 2 years.


Family members claim that Akolade had been beating his wife on regular basis, she left him but eventually returned to him, her reason was LOVE. 


They had a daughter.

According to police reports, Titilayo was stabbed to death and cut into pieces on Saturday June 24, 2011.

COLOUR, FUN AND DIVERSE UNITY AT THE LAGOS CARNIVAL

SENSELESS LOSS OF OUR YOUTHS

His last post on his facebook wall was on Sunday, April 17, a day after the election.

At 6:48am, via mobile web, he wrote (unedited): "Na wao! This CPC supporters would hv (have) killed me yesterday, no see threat oooo. Even after forcing underaged voters on me they wanted me to give them the remaining ballot paper to thumb print. Thank God for the police and am happy i could stand for God and my nation. To all corps members who stood despite these threats esp. In the north bravo! Nigeria! Our change has come."

He was reported missing that day by friends and finally confirmed dead Friday. Reports from Kaduna, the home state of the Vice-President Namadi Sambo, stated that about 150 youth corpers have had their hands and limbs hacked off by people protesting the outcome of the 2011 presidential elections.

A youth corper who managed to escape the brutal attacks, narrated how they were rounded up by some youths. Their attackers appeared to be organised and they were told to line up and in turn had their hands amputated. Those who tried to escape had their limbs chopped off. But some of them managed to escape and alerted the authorities.

Reports indicated thousands of youth corpers were salughtered with about 35,000 receiving treament or displaced.

Bunmi Divinewealth Awoyemi wrote that, “International election observers and the media clearly cited examples of under-age voting across the North with those under-age voters voting for BUHARI and also cited cases of collusion between many of PDP’s traitor-agents, CPC’s agents and some youth corpers which resulted in the manipulation of figures recorded at polling centers in favor of CPC.

“There were also cases where Youth Corpers working for INEC were beaten up, stripped naked and their lives threatened for attempting to prevent CPC sponsored under-age voters from voting. There was a particular polling center where the Youth Corpers working for INEC were chased away from the polling center and the ballot box was stuffed with thumb printed ballot papers, the fake results declared for CPC and the result was still maintained as part of the final figures from INEC.

“Out of all these the most reprehensible is the under-age voters who voted in their millions across the North West and North East for BUHARI!! Contrary to initial expectations, Nigerians have proven that they are not divided because GEJ won 25% of the votes in 31 out of 36 Nigerian states. This shows that Nigeria has come of age and have left Politicians like Buhari behind.

This has to end, Nigeria has reached a point when such killings cannot be overlooked. We need to stand for what is right and with one voice call a stop to all such madness
