Come September, students attending public primary and secondary schools in
 Kaduna state will get it all for free, with free food and uniforms to boot.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai made the promise at the weekend during a town hall meeting 
held in Zaria.
“From September your children will attend schools for 9 years free of charge,"
 the governor said."We intend to provide uniform, feeding in our primary and 
junior schools in the state.
"There will also be no more PTA fees in our schools.”
It will be recalled that the past governor of the state, Ramalan Yero, had in the
 build-up to the 2015 gubernatorial elections described El-Rufai, free education promise 
as ''laughable' and 'insulting'."It is so laughable for somebody whose children already 
school in United Kingdom (UK) because you don't believe in the system here. 
Because you had the opportunity of taking your children there," Yero 
had said through his spokesperson, Ahmed Maiyaki.
"This is laughable, insulting for somebody to imagine that he will provide free 
education or his children will come back to public schools when he does not 
even have children that will attend school right now." With the recent announcement, 
it then seems El-Rufai is determined to fulfil his campaign promises.

A young teenager was afraid to tell her parents that she is pregnant so she went to great lengths to hide her pregnancy.

Cassidy Goodison delivered her baby and she managed to disguise her screams of pain by grinding on a towel with her teeth and running the bath water. Following the birth she did the unthinkable. She choked her baby to death and hid his tiny body in a shoe box. Then she wrapped the shoe box in towels. This was discovered after she didn’t t...
