Torso found in Thames identified: 'Victim of voodoo ritual' named as 5year old Nigerian boy, Adam

This is the little boy whose headless and limbless body was found floating in the Thames ten years ago, it was claimed last night.

The five-year-old’s identity has remained a mystery after he was smuggled into Britain and murdered in a voodoo-style ritual killing. He was drugged with a ‘black-magic’ potion and sacrificed before being thrown into the Thames, where his torso washed up next to the Globe Theatre in September 2001.

England-based Nigerian forward Victor Moses yet to be cleared by FIFA to play for Nigeria

Victor Moses watching from the bench as Nigeria defeated Ethiopia 4-0 during the African Cup of Nations qualifying match in Abuja on March 27, 2011.

Nigeria announced on March 25, 2011 that England-based Nigerian forward Victor Moses, who plays for Wigan Athletic, will not play in March 27's Nations Cup qualifying match against Ethiopia in Abuja as FIFA is yet to approve his application to switch allegiance to Nigeria after he featured for England at Under-17 and Under-21 levels. But Nigeria plan to line him up for today's friendly match against Kenya. I hear he's a very good player, so watch out for him!

BTW, Victor's parents (who were Christian missionaries) were killed in Kaduna during one of those Muslim/Christian clashes in 2002 when Victor was just 11 years old. He was relocated to the UK by other family members immediately after his parents death.

Last night it was Sambo vs Sambo. What will you be watching tonight?

We have the Nigeria vs Kenya match (6pm). England vs Ghana match. And President Goodluck Jonathan vs President Goodluck Jonathan Presidential debate. What will you be watching tonight?

Last night I watched the Silverbird TV organized Governorship debate and the Sambo vs Sambo Vice Presidential debate organized by the Nigeria Election Debate group (NEDG) and I...errrrmm...wasn't it embarrassing? Our vice president debating with himself, for himself, and against himself. What happened to the other candidates? Oh I remember, they pulled out...

And tonight it will be our president's turn to debate with...himself. Not cool, but looking forward to it...:-)
Tune in 8pm tonight on NTA

Rico White signs 2yr N6m deal with Star FM Lagos

USA-returnee Rico White, a rapper and younger brother of rapper Iceberg Slim has just signed a 2-yr N6m deal with MiTV-owned radio station Star 101.5 FM. 

Following the release of his first single “Show Me” featuring Sean Tye late last year, the rapper just returned from New York where he attended a crash course in radio broadcasting and is gearing to cause some major upset on the airwaves soon.

Star FM seems to be making the right moves by introducing this evidently interesting individual as part of efforts to reposition the station as it appears the battle for supremacy amongst Lagos radio stations has gone hotter .
