Does President Muhammadu Buhari have a conscience? by Femi Fani-Kayode...

'Femi-Fani Kayode'

Aside the 105 soldiers killed by Boko Haram, additional 34 soldiers were killed two days ago but it wasn’t in the news”- Deji Adeyanju.

A soldier ought to be honored in death and this is especially so if he dies in the course of doing his duty and fighting for his nation.
The government has not only dishonored them by not acknowledging their sacrifice but they have also buried them in the wilderness like rabid dogs.

High on drugs and amid a heavy drinking session, a shirtless Charlie Sheen played with a large knife inside his 'party den', showing off to his audience of paid-for porn stars and friends.

Then, as the crack cocaine and alcohol finally took their toll, the Hollywood superstar made a slip with the blade, slashing his own leg causing blood to pour out.

It was perhaps a worryingly typical moment for the renowned hard-partying star who's high octane lifestyle had begun to spiral out of control in 2011.

But this time something else was wrong.

As blood spattered on to the plush carpet and on to an iPad, one of Sheen's friends jokingly lunged forward to touch the bright red bodily fluid, shouting 'that's tiger blood, Charlie that's tiger blood'.
