Iconic Moment For Wizkid

Pulse.ng

It was an emotional moment for Nigerian crooner, Wizkid, when Drake, one of the world’s arguably most popular performer brought him out on stage to perform with him at the 02 Arena London. It should be noted that the artists have both featured each other in their songs “Come Closer” and “One Dance” but for the first time, Nigerians got to see them perform live on stage.

Raising The Right Conversations: Leah Sharibu

New Mail Nigeria

This week, the Nigerian Senate urged the government to intensify efforts to secure the freedom of Leah Sharibu. This triggered the reactions of many Nigerians across the country who also showed their concerns over the release of Leah. Leah was kidnapped alongside 111 other girls in Dapchi, Yobe State in February 2018. She is the only captive who is yet to be released.

Earlier today at the Plenary,I raised a point of order to demand for the reactivation and reinvigoration of action by the FG to secure the release of Leah SHARIBU and other Dapchi and Chibok girls still in captivity.A nation burying its head in the sand. pic.twitter.com/EUWyJrkHao

My certificate for going to Mount Everest. Not only did I go, I took the #FreeLeahSharibu campaign there. As this is the highest peak on planet earth, it symbolises that God has Leah Sharibu in His heart and we pray He will answer our prayers for her freedom #RenosNuggets pic.twitter.com/ImhN8wfKNs

I vowed I would go to Mount Everest, wearing my #FreeLeahSharibu tracksuit, to symbolise the fact that Leah Sharibu is close to God's heart. Well, this morning I fulfilled that vow. Watch and be awed by the highest peak on earth. After here, it is heaven #RenosNuggets pic.twitter.com/QAEwXQQpQa

Chibok Girls has been gone for 5 Years!

Leah Sharibu has vanished too without anyone looking out for her.

Folks, Stay safe out there, If anything ever happens to you, Your Govt won't come for you.

It's the truth!

#LeahSharibu is in danger. She was abducted by #BokoHaram, & because of her #Christian faith, she's still being held today. She could be killed. We recently delivered an oral intervention at the #UN for Leah. Show your support —Sign & RT our petition. https://t.co/N3sbZuQljf

In our oral intervention delivered at the #UnitedNations, we discussed the threats children in #Nigeria face at the hands of #BokoHaram, such as the plight of #LeahSharibu. It is critical that she is released and returned safely to her family. https://t.co/F8OJcyToGI
