hree Nigerians accused of kidnapping a child were lynched on Tuesday by an angry mob of young rioters in Bissau, according to a hospital source.

The AFP reported that the trio was killed after the disappearance of a young boy on Tuesday morning in the capital of Guinea-Bissau.

A rumour quickly spread across the city that the child had been taken by a group of Nigerians, prompting an angry crowd to gather which security forces were unable to control.

An AFP journalist saw two of the Nigerian bodies in the morgue.

Hundreds of angry rioters, mostly young and armed with stones and bottles, managed to grab one of the suspected kidnappers from a police car as officers stood by powerless, according to the AFP journalist.

“Death to Nigerians! Enough is enough, stop! The Nigerians must leave,” chanted the crowd.

Police fired warning shots and tear gas in an effort to disperse the mob, but they were unsuccessful.

The police called for reinforcements and soldiers from the Economic Community of West African States currently in the country were deployed in the town and managed to restore some sense of calm in the afternoon.

Nigeria’s embassy in Bissau, where many Nigerians sought refuge, was surrounded by security forces for protection.

Many shop-owners in the city closed because of the violence.

The latest abduction came at a tense time in Bissau, as in the past fortnight several kidnappings have been reported to the police.

Abductions are currently an explosive topic, among the general population and on radio shows in Guinea-Bissau, prompting a number of rumours about who has been responsible for the disappearances.

The authorities have enforced a travel ban on unaccompanied children and any adults travelling with infants who they cannot prove are relations are immediately arrested.

Move over Oprah, Nigerian oil tycoon Folorunsho Alakija is now the richest black woman in the world with an estimated fortune of $7.3 billion.

Folorunsho, 61 started her financial supremacy as a fashion designer- Nigerian clothing label Supreme Stitches.

She was born with silver spoon. Folorunsho Alakija studied fashion design in England in the ‘80s and she became that designer whose creativity was worn by the ‘rich’ in the society. She is referred to as one of those who pioneered the fashion industry in Nigeria.

Folorunsho began the oil business Famfa Oil in 1993 when she was awarded an oil prospecting license, which later became OML 127, one of the country’s most prolific oil blocks, by then-president Ibrahim Babangida, owns at least $100 million in real estate and owns a $46 million private jet.

Forbes magazine had estimated Alakija’s fortune at $600 million, as of November 2012, but the magazine’s editor-in-chief Uzodinma Iweala said his researchers were ‘closer to the ground.’ 

They noted that Brazilian oil company, Petrobas, was looking to sell its 8 per cent stake in OML 127 for $1.5- $2.5 billion, and extrapolated that if they managed to sell it for $1 billion, Alakija’s 60 per cent stake would be worth at least $7.3 billion.

The overall richest African is Nigerian manufacturer Aliko Dangote who is worth $20.2 billion. Twenty Nigerians are listed in total.

According to Forbes, Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.9 billion.

My name is Dotun, a young man in my mid-twenties. An HND2 student of OFA POLY. I have a friend whose name is Habib. We have been friends since childhood and he has been living with me and my parents for the past TEN years when he lost his entire family in a ghastly motor accident way back in 2003. So basically, you can say that my family is the only family he’s got.

One day I was in class and I swore to myself that once I got home, I was going to confess my love to her. I quickly rushed out of class went straight to the park, boarded a bus and headed home with the sole mission of telling Sunmi precisely how I feel about her. On getting home, no one was in my room so I went straight to her room……lo and behold my best friend was ‘doing it’ with the girl I love! I Couldn’t fight the tears as they flowed freely down my cheek neither was I able to control my heart as it felt so painful like a knife was driven right into it. Somehow I managed not to get noticed while peeping through the window and I managed to find my way back into the room. Days later,she told me about their relationship and how much she is in love with him. Since then I’ve been left with nothing but a shattered heart. I still love this girl and I don’t want to hurt my friend. I’m the only brother/ acquaintance he has and I don’t want to loose him because he seem to be even madly in love with her too.
