My take is that Tobore story is a daily occurencce but my concern is that law enforcement aids this trade. So, where does one now go to? So, so terrible? Another concern however, is that most of our journalists do not have insurance cover. If you are into social work, you don't have option than to believe the story, but how much risk can a journalist take just to excite yourself and probably entertain our world of public. May God keep you and if that pix used was yours, just be careful. On the lost of your blackberry, I think on recovery of the same SIM and having registered it before then, data on it could be recovered as long as you still remember your login details; buy same kind of blackberry+data recovery and you will be home. Also, check with your service provider and if its on the cloud, better for you. You can still get your pix and data back.

I lived in Nairobi, Kenya, between 1992 and 1994 as a student. One day, the attention of Nigerian students was called, by a Kenyan student, Thomas Ochieng, to something he saw at a hospital in Nairobi -three Nigerian girls, sick and admitted at the hospital, were all chained to their beds. On inquiry, he was told they were prisoners. He spoke to them and they told him that no Nigerian official is aware of their imprisonment. He returned to campus to infirm us. Five of us, Mike, Ephraim, Andrew, Ralph and me moved in. We met them at the hospital and they explained to us their travails. all lies we later found out. they simply told us they were on a business trip to Kenya when they were arrested and framed up. We moved on. Contacted other Nigerian community in Kenya. Bro (Prof) Anselm Uba then of Catholic University of East Africa, came into it. He provided his car. We moved over to the Nigerian High Commission In Kenya. Met with our High Commissioner, Clarkson Umelo. He told us that he is aware of the matter. He also informed us that he was contacted as soon as the girls were arrested. Fact is, they were arrested at the Kenyatta International Airport as outbound passengers on connecting flight to Italy with fake travel documents. their leader, a male, collected all BTA on them in guise to bribe their way through, but bolted after securing his head. Nigerian High Commission agreed to intervene and secure their release on ground that their families in Nigeria are contacted and brought to the airport in Lagos to receive them. They refused such help. They rather told the High Commissioner that the only help they will accept was one that could secure their release, get them travel documents and ensure they continue their trip to Italy. They had imagined how those who knew they were on mission to Italy would feel when they are deported halfway. Despite persuasion, the refused. asked what their mission to Italy was, they told the High Commissioner, that they were being sent by their 'madam' to meet a 'white man'. That was how the refused help and ended in a Kenyan Prison. I believe Tobore's story. Even if anyone thinks it it fiction, it is fiction well told out of real life situations. No faults.

He Igabi, can't you see this is Nollywood at its best. Tobore is one crook of a journalist. But why would she do this for crying out loud? Guess she knew many of her readers willl believe her trash without looking back!

Am so surprised that Sola, a
journalist from a serious newspaper like The Punch could cast aspersion on a
great job done by a colleague. I just can't understand why she would go to the
limits to discredit a report published by another media organization that has
not been found to have a penchant for exaggeration and lies. Seems she has
something against Tobore that others don't know and she should go ahead to
state her case and stop insulting the sensibility of those who believe in the
cause of true journalism. I think she should also contact the foreign media
organizations that partnered with Premium Times to sponsor the investigation
and get firsthand information about their involvement in the story. Enough!

Are u trying to tell me the journalist did not partake into rapes and sex while being screened! Bullshit and if she did why would you do all that just to sell a story! She too could have been beheaded! I'm not sure the story has been told in full
