Some pro-biafra activist shared videos of themselves tearing their Nigerian passport, denouncing their citizenship and asking for the break away of the south-east from nigeria. They will make a long anti-nigeria speech then tear pages from their passport.
Meanwhile the Nigerian Immigration Service as warned that tearing your passport in such manner is a great offence, its illegal and attracts a jail term.
But most of the people who have shared videos of themselves live abroad. I wonder how they plan to travel around the world now.
Nigerian dancehall singer Cynthia Morgan has revealed her celebrity crush and it is non of the usual suspects.
The German juice singer revealed in a chat with Vanguard that she fancies afro pop star, Davido.
Recall that a few weeks back she was seen kissing fellow dancehall star Burna Boy in a music video, an act she confirmed as true.
She spoke to Hip TV on it saying: "Yes, the kiss between me and Burna Boy was real, though we are working together on a project at the moment. The kiss was part of the video we are shooting and yeah, the dude is a talented artist."
She once said she would not be involved in a relationship with a fellow artist, which is why her recent comment comes as a surprise.
Interestingly, she emphasized Davido's hardworking nature as her reason for crushing on him. She spoke further: "over the years he has been able to prove himself that he is talented and not all about being a rich kid and I think he is cute too"
Morgan also revealed that her crush for the singer doesn't mean she wants to have an affair with him.
"But if he says: 'Oh my God! I Love you' we can work something out" she said

Genevieve has reacted to claims that her movies help project domestic violence.
Speaking exclusively to Vanguard the actress said she never actually gave this notion a thought as she has played roles in movies exactly as the scripts says.
She said: "I haven't even given that a thought because I thought I am interpreting my role as an actress.
The actress who expressed her stand on equality said she disapproves of domestic violence.
"I believe in equal rights of all citizens. I am a strong advocate of equal rights and social justice for all humans. I frown at domestic violence and as a full-baked African woman, I know that who we are and what we believe is a reflection of what we do"
She also emphasized the fact that she doesn't necessarily choose movie roles but producers come looking for her given their belief that she can deliver her roles.
"I don't actually choose the roles. Producers usually look out for actors they believe that can interpret certain roles. They usually choose me because they think and believe that I am a good role interpreter"

Germaine Greer, the second wave feminist best known for her 1970 book The Female Eunuch, accused Caitlyn Jenner of "stealing the limelight" from the other women of the Kardashian clan in an appearance on BBC2's Newsnight.
During the interview, Greer said that "misorgyny played a big part" in Glamour magazine's decision to award Jenner their woman of the year award.
She also defended previous statements in which she claimed that trans women were not "real women" via The Guardian,
"She also refused to back down from her position that transgender women, who have begun life as men before undergoing surgery and hormone treatment to become women, are not women, saying they do not look like, sound like or behave like women"
Greer's statements prompted a petition circulated by Cardiff University students. The petition, aimed at having Greer barred from giving speech on campus, was started by Racheal Melhuish, women's officer at the Cardiff University Student Union. It claims that Greer has "demonstrated time and time again her misogynistic views towards trans women, including continually 'misgendering' trans women and denying the existence of transphobia altogether"
By Saturday, the petition had more than 800 signatures.
In response to the petition, Greer told the Guardian:
"I don't really know what I think of it. It strikes me as a bit of a put-up job really because I am not even going to talk about the issue that they are on about.
What they are saying is that because I don't surgery will turn a man into a woman I should not be allowed to speak anywhere."
Despite both controversy and petition, Cardiff University said that it would not cancel Greer's speech, "Our events include speakers with a range of views, all of which are rigorously challenged and debated," a university spokesperson said in a statement to the New York Times.
Greer's comment on trans women very much echo Elinor Burkett"s controversial New York Times Article, "What Makes A Woman". The two seem to share a kind of gender essentialism in which biology, and the experiences that often result from that biology, determine gender identities. It's weird and inconsistent perspective, particularly for second-wave feminists like Greer, whose ideologies are ostensibly underpinned by deconstructing the very idea of fixed and never shifting gender.
After the recent exposure of Justin Bieber's eggplant to the entire world, Clone-A-Willy, a do it yourself dildo-maker, says it has offered him $1 million to advertise its vibrating replica-penis kit.
In a cheesily worded letter to Bieber's listed commercial agent that was also sent to the Huffington Post, Clone-A-Willy wrote:
"Justin Bieber, he's popular, talented and now as the entire world knows ...quite well endowed. You can only imagine.. a huge billboard of Justin Bieber and Clone-A-Willy in West Hollywood. It would surely do wonders to help promote his new album and certainly wouldn't hurt is dating life.
" We know that Justin is a big celebrity and our offer is commiserate with someone of his enormous stature, "the letter continues. " We are offering Mr Bieber a million dollars to endorse 'Clone-A-Willy'. "
If there's a buck to be made from the incident Clone-A-Willy (its product shown below) is being upfront about it and wants to milk the exposure.
The brand says its kit produces "a vibrating silicone replica if any penis in the comfort of your home"
