Onyeka Onwenu reserves her comments on missing girls, calls out Wole Soyinka
Iconic singer Onyeka Onwenu, who is the current DG of National Centre for Women Development, was a guest on Channels TV Sunrise programme this morning Monday May 12th where she spoke about the missing Chibok girls. She expressed her reservations about the case and also called out Professor Wole Soyinka for referring to the First Lady as 'that woman' in the interview he had with CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
What am saying is that, is it at this time we have to vilify the person of the First Lady who did the right thing by inviting these people? A lot of that has gone on and I take offense at this even as a woman. When I hear someone like Wole Soyinka referring to her on CNN as that woman, something in me boils because there is a lack of respect for women. This has happened not just with this first lady but with every single first lady and perhaps its when they have passed away or when they've left office that we suddenly realize the contributions that they've made and these women work very hard and care and love this country so it really offends me to see her vilified and I was at those meetings and at no point did she say Oh I don't believe the girls were taken." Ms Onwenu said.

No US troops deployed anywhere in Nigeria - Defence Headquarters (#BringBackOurGirls is a Scam)
"No troop of the American Marines has so far been deployed in any part of Nigeria as is being circulated in certain media. International coalition is quite appropriate in handling terrorism being a trans-border and global crime. The public will be duly briefed on the areas of collaboration with allied forces in the mission to bring back our girls as the need arises. There is therefore no need to engage in misleading speculations while the mission is in progress."

FG rules out ransom for abducted pupils
The Presidency has ruled out negotiating the release of the schoolgirls abducted from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State. While claiming responsibility for the April 14 abduction recently, leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, had threatened to sell off the over 200 girls. The statement was seen as a discreet way of asking for ransom from the government for the release of the girls.
But the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, in an exclusive interview with our correspondent on Friday said the government would not pay a ransom or engage in any form of sale of human beings. Abati said no amount of provocation would push the government to engage in any act that was connected to slavery. He said, “The Federal Government is not going to engage in any form of selling human beings. The sale of any human being is an assault on the dignity of that human being.
“Slavery is one of the major crimes against humanity in the UN Conventions. There will be no amount of provocation that will push the Federal Government of Nigeria to engage in anything that is remotely associated to the promotion of slavery.
“The position of the Federal Government is that even if Boko Haram goes ahead with its threat to sell human beings, whoever buys such human beings will be held culpable for promoting slavery.

When #BringBackOurGirls Backfires: Americans Educate each other over Mrs.Obama’s Twitter photo
Mrs.Obama’s Twitter photo was revised and corrected by a revolutionary socialist group in Detroit.
“Michelle Obama spared a moment between lavish tax-victim-funded vacations and celebrity outings to join this year’s version of the Kony campaign, which seeks military action in Nigeria to liberate 276 Christian schoolgirls who were abducted by Muslim militants.
Mrs. Obama’s Twitter photo was revised and corrected by a revolutionary socialist group in Detroit to reflect the hideous reality behind the administration’s humanitarian posturing,” says William Norman Grigg.
And What is the hideous reality ?
