Today's top stories: In search of Sallah meat

[View this email in your browser] How many of you reading this right now have eaten Sallah meat yet? Raise your hands please. Sallah is a great time. It is the one period in the year when Christians see Muslims not as potential terrorists or people trying to ‘Islamise’ Nigeria, but as potential providers of succulent meat. This newsletter is currently being typed by someone who is enjoying said meat, and he suggests that you get yours too. May Allah bless us all this season. *nom nom nom* And now for the news It is possible that no governor in Nigeria understands ‘stomach infrastructure’ better than the person who coined the term, Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State. He [distributed rams] to Muslim leaders in the spirit of the season. The MMM craze going around Nigeria is the subject of our [editorial] this morning. Nigerian Paralympians are absolutely killing it at the Paralympics in Rio. Nigeria is currently in 9th place with 5 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze. The latest of those gold medals was won by [Lauretta Onye] in the shot put, and she set a world record in the process. In the latest of our stories from the North East, Eromo Egbejule [speaks to a soldier] on the frontlines who says the Nigerian army is winning the war, and laments the attitude of the media to those rescued, who are not called ‘Chibok Girls’. It looks like the Lagos State Police Command are cleaning house. [65 policemen have been arrested] in the last one month for various offences like extortion and extrajudicial killing. Good news. Dare we hope for a cleaner police force? In entertainment, this appears to be official confirmation that D’Banj [is no longe]r with G.O.O.D Music, and Omoni Oboli is [slaying] at the ongoing Toronto International Film Festival.
