Earlier this week, the US released a statement
expressing shock that the Nigerian Government had stopped them from
training Nigerian soldiers to help in the fight against Boko Haram.
The coordinator of the National
Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri, told journalists ''it was cancelled
because the US relied on Nigerian equipment which is currently in use
in troubled states in the North east.'' He said
A South Africa organization, The ANC Youth League - wants rapper Nicki
Minaj to pay back the R10million (about $1million) they paid her as part
payment for a show that was canceled.
According to South African media,
Nicki was paid the money a few weeks back for a music festival -
TribeOne Dinokeng, which she was supposed to headline in the city of
Tshwane this October but the festival was canceled recently. Now they
want their money back. ANCYL said they have written to the rapper's
management to return the money.
