Principal- 190 schoolgirls remain missing, not 77
About 190 schoolgirls remain missing after being abducted last week by Boko Haram insurgents, their head teacher, Asabe Kwabura, told the British Broadcasting Corporation on Monday.
She said the parents of 230 girls had reported them missing but that 40 had managed to escape from the insurgents.
The 190 figure is far more than the 77 given earlier by government officials.
The Associated Press had reported that parents of the pupils of Government Secondary School, Chibok told Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima when he visited on Monday, that 234 girls were abducted.
When news first emerged of the kidnap last Tuesday, initial reports said more than 200 students were abducted, but state officials said the correct figure was about 130.
The students, aged between 16 and 18 were about to sit their final year examinations when the insurgents invaded their school.
Kwabura told the BBC Hausa service that about 40 fled their captors.
“None of these girls was rescued by the military; they managed to escape on their own from their abductors,” she said.
Asked about the conflicting reports on the number of students kidnapped, she said: “Only reports that come from us is the truth and based on the register we have on paper.”
She had previously called on the kidnappers to “have mercy on the students”.
Before visiting Chibok on Monday, Shettima said that eight more girls had escaped over the weekend, meaning a total 52 had fled.
One of the parents, Shettima Haruna, told Shettima that they had been having sleepless nights since the incident happened.
He added that at a time, they summoned courage to visit Sambisa Forest to search for the missing girls.
The parent said, “We want to seize this opportunity to thank you (governor) for the visit and for identifying with us in this sorrowful moment; but we want to emphasise that we are not happy with this development.In as much as we continue to pray for the safe return of our daughters, we are appealing to the government and security operatives to please intensify the search for our missing innocent children.”
Another parent, Mallam Amos Chiroma, said they saw a lot of strange things at the forest while searching for their daughters.
He said, “When we were in the bushes of Sambisa, we came across different make -shift camps suspected to be deserted by the insurgents.”
The parents of the abducted girls, who could not hold back tears, appealed to the government to ensure that their abducted girls were freed.
Our correspondent in Borno State, who was in Chibok, observed that most of the school buildings were totally burnt down by the insurgents.
Shettima, who was equally moved to tears, promised that his government would deploy all human and material resources towards rescuing the girls.
He said, “They can burn physical structures but they cannot destroy our souls. Patient is the ultimate solution to the problem and I will ask us to have patience. We will soon get over this,”
The confusion over the numbers comes after the military last week said that all but eight of the pupils had been rescued before withdrawing its claim a day later.

CBN warns banks, Stop giving customers mutilated notes
The
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN has warned that it would no longer
tolerate complaints from commercial bank customers over payment of
mutilated notes whereas mint notes found their way to the black
marketers who sell them out for spraying at social functions.
CBN’s
Director, Branch Operations Department, Mrs. Tope Omade who gave the
warning during a one-day Customer Forum held in Asaba promised that CBN
continue to beam its search light on commercial banks and other allied
banks as well as officials of such banks who are involved in the sharp
practices of hoarding mint notes and selling same to black marketers,
just as she condemned the attitude of some Nigerians who still indulge
in spaying naira at social functions in violation of the law banning
spraying of the currency.
According
to her, “no bank should henceforth pay customers with unfit and
mutilated notes. Plans are on to ensure that strict sanctions were meted
out on commercial banks that are still dispensing bad, unfit and
mutilated currency notes to the public.
We
have the serial numbers of all the mint notes in circulation and we are
going to make sure that we trace those banks and their officials who
are still involved in the shoddy deals of selling those mints to black
marketers”.
The
Asaba Branch Controller of CBN, Dame Elizabeth Oyibo-Agu in her
key-note address on ‘Delivering Customer Service Excellence’, tasked
bank officials “to always focus on service delivery, give the best
experience, create unique customer experience, always improve on their
experience as well as accord due respect to their customers with strong
emphasis on their time and opinions”.
The
forum was attended by representatives of the various commercial banks,
Development Money Banks (DMBs), Micro-Finance Banks (MFBs), Bureau de
Change (BDCs), Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), among
others.

Yaya Toure-'The World Do Not Appreciate Me Because I Am African'
According to report by Eurosport, the Ivory Coast international, who has
won league titles in England, Spain and Greece as well as his homeland,
is a key figure in City’s push for more silverware and is on the
six-man shortlist for the Professional Footballers’ Association’s Player
of the Season award.
And the 30-year-old echoed club colleague Samir Nasri‘s claim that only his birthplace has blocked him from being hailed as one of the best midfielders in the world.
“I think what Samir was saying was definitely true,” Toure told BBC Sport.
“To be honest, proper recognition has only come from the fans. I don’t want to be hard and I don’t want to be negative, but I want to be honest.”
Compatriot Didier Drogba and Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o have also reached the top level of European football and Toure said: “Those players are more than legends for me and Africa.
“I am very proud to be African, I want to defend African people and I want to show to the world that African players can be as good as the Europeans and South Americans.”
Luis Suarez is a widespread odds-on favourite for the PFA award, with Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard also ahead of Toure in the betting.
But the City star said he would “definitely” be unhappy to miss out, adding: ” As a champion, as a winner, I always want to win.”
Do you believe African players do not get enough respect compare to other continent players?

PSquare's Brother, Jude Okoye, After Over 10yrs
When Jude Okoye didn't show up for Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo's
wedding in Lagos, it became clear to all discerning minds that all is
not well with the three brothers - Jude, Peter and Paul. But they
dismissed all talks about crisis.
But it seems the centre can no longer hold and Judge Okoye has dropped a hint on the social media.

P-Square splitting?
The drama coming out of the PSquare household is getting really serious.
Yesterday, Jude shared a tweet that sparked fears that all is not well
with Africa's beloved singing duo. Today, a source very close to the
artiste has revealed that not only are the twins fighting, Peter Okoye wants out of P-Square and they have even gone as far as inviting a lawyer to divide their fortune. As of right now, Peter
Okoye doesn't want anything to do with P-Square. He has moved out of
Squareville mansion in Omole where he lived with his brothers for years
and now lives in Lekki Phase 1 with his wife Lola Omotayo and their
children.
Here's what the source, an industry person who knows what's been going on, said:
"Yes they fought this week. Peter even left a mark on Paul's left eye. But the fight wasn't during rehearsal, which rehearsal? Peter has refused to do anything P-Square for weeks now. Forget that he was at his brother's wedding, things are not good between them right now. They were even invited to perform at president Jonathan's wedding but they didn't go.
Peter wants out. He said Paul and Jude are sidelining him. That if they push out 200 songs, 199 would be songs Paul did. That people are now calling him a dancer in P-Square. Peter is really angry. He's even the cool and friendly one between the brothers but he is not himself right now. And then he accused his brother Jude of disrespecting his wife. Peter and Jude haven't spoken in weeks. Peter said Jude has been disrespecting Lola for years and he was done tolerating the BS. In fact Peter said that not only is Lola older than Jude, but that she's also pregnant and Jude was upsetting a pregnant woman. If you notice Jude didn't attend their wedding last year despite the fact that he was in Nigeria. Jude asked Peter why he didn't marry Lola when their mother was alive. Jude said it's his wife that is pushing him and they will need to pray for him. In fact nobody in the Okoye family likes Lola and they didn't support the marriage. The brothers are really angry at each other. The police is even involved. This week, either the commissioner of police or someone from his office visited their house.
The worst part is that they have invited lawyer to come and share property o. They want to share everything. The lawyer was at their house I think on Thursday. Peter said no more P-Square joint ventures. You know they own everything together, including a house in Omole, Parkview and Atlanta. Except something is done fast P-Square is about to be finished. But I know that people have been intervening and begging them to reconsider, that they are the biggest musical duo in Africa. Nobody will benefit if they split. The power to make money is in their togetherness.
It is Jude people are begging to keep the brothers together, but after what he tweeted yesterday, it may truly be over for P-Square. Jude has really tried for his brothers, for him to give up may mean it's over for them. He practically put his entire life on hold for his brothers. Even sold his first car to shoot their first video but all that is about go come to an end like he tweeted. The only thing that can save the situation is if by a miracle Jude and Lola settle their differences but I don't see that happening.
