Two Nigerian students in Canada spend one year in Churches while their colleagues graduates
Victoria
Ordu has one wish for her 22nd birthday on June 28 - to be granted permission
to continue her studies at the University of Regina.
She
and fellow Nigerian student Ihuoma Amadi have been in sanctuary for one year
today; compelled into hiding after they were ordered to leave Canada for unknowingly
breaking their study permits by working for two weeks off-campus.
The
Leader-Post told their story last September, but after spending 12 months in
the sanctuary of a Regina church, they look years wearier than they did then.
Kay
Adebogun, a Regina immigration consultant who took on their case pro bono,
speaks about keeping the faith and remaining strong.
As
he does so, Amadi scrunches her hands into fists and puts them over her eyes,
her head hanging down.
Unlike
September, neither of the girls cries; it seems almost as though they've shed
the tears they have.
"It's
emotionally draining," admits Ordu.
"We
can only hope for the best and pray (immigration minister) Jason Kenney makes a
decision that will help us."
She
looks at her feet, playing with her flip-flops.

The first set of Kimye's baby photos could be worth 7 to 8 figures - Howard Bragman
The
birth of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter on Saturday caused a frenzy
that is getting even hotter. Because the race is on to see just what this baby
looks like, and when it comes to getting the first glimpse, this tiny tot means
big business.
At
press time, details about the baby and the birth were unavailable, with
Kardashian's sister Khloe tweeting on Sunday: "More info will come when
the time is right!"
But
we do know that baby Kimye was born "with a price on her head," says
Howard Bragman, vice chairman of Reputation.com. "Can you imagine being a
paparazzi and snapping a photo of this baby? There's probably incredible
security at the hospital right now." Because you can bet that the Kardashians,
a family who have branded themselves into a multimillion-dollar empire, are
keeping that baby's face under close watch.

I Did Not Sell ‘Blame It On The Money’ To D’banj – Durella
King
of the Zanga, Durella has reacted to reports that he sold his ‘Blame It On The
Money’ song to Dbanj. From his statement, the singer was actually surprised
that his song was released by D’banj with same title without his consent.
Hear
him:
“I
didn’t sell my song to Dbanj I only played the song to his hearing once and the
next thing i saw was Dbanj ft Snoop Lion, Big sean; he didnt even change the
title of the song maybe cuz i told him i dont know if I should release the song
or not no wonder he told me I should not release it“
Hmmm!
Hope this is not another case of intellectual property theft; let’s see how it goes.
