Mystery of the floating corpses in Anambra State
Source: Sun News
If there are any doubts that Nigeria is a country in
which horror walks on four legs, and life has no value at all, the latest
report of 18 male corpses found floating in Ezu River in the border between
Enugu and Anambra States, last Saturday, should lay those doubts to rest.
The discovery of the corpses by fishermen in the
part of the river at Amansea, in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra
State, is many notches higher the regular horror stories emerging from
different parts of the country.
This is not like the case of four young students
killed by a baying mob that joined the list of atrocities in Nigeria, last
year. It is different from the case of a young woman who simply went to the
house of her married lover and strangled his four children to death, that was

Beyonce Talks Fake Pregnancy Rumors with 'GQ
On
rumors that her pregnancy was fake:
“I felt like I kind of had to protect my mother,
because when people made up the silliest rumor about me not really being
pregnant, she was there when I went through all of those things. And my sister.
They were very, very defensive. It’s not personal to me, and it comes along
with the job, but the lack of respect - people will just go too far sometimes.”
On
giving birth to her daughter Blue Ivy Carter:
“When I gave birth, that was the first time I truly
let go and surrendered. And it taught me how amazing that feels… Giving birth
made me realize the power of being a woman. I have so much more substance in my
life. And expressing that excitement and that sensuality and the connection I
have with my husband—I’m a lot more comfortable with that now. I actually feel
like my child introduced me to myself.”

Brooke tells The Sun
“For Kanye, what other person besides Kim Kardashian
