Mexican Footballer Alan Pulido Kidnapped With Girlfriend.

A Mexican international footballer was kidnapped last night in his hometown , triggering a massive manhunt in territory that has been a battleground of warring drug cartels .

Alan Pulido , 25 , was abducted after leaving a party late on Saturday night . The kidnapping happened near Pulido ’ s hometown of Ciudad Victoria , 200 miles south of the Texas border , according to family and state government officials.

Pulido ’s brother Armando told the sports publication Medio Tiempo that his brother had attended the party with his girlfriend and left at around 11 . 30pm . Pulido was traveling back to Ciudad Victoria
when his vehicle was intercepted and he was seized by unknown individuals , his brother said .

A state security source told the Guardian Pulido had been seen in Ciudad Victoria driving a BMW . The source said it was not known if he was pulled from that vehicle by his captors .

Tamaulipas state prosecutor Ismael Quintanilla Acosta confirmed the disappearance , saying Pulido was “ intercepted by armed persons” and that his whereabouts have been unknown ever since .
The kidnapping made national headlines in Mexico and brought outpourings of support .

“ We sincerely hope that this ordeal ends before long and that Alan returns home safe and sound, ” Pulido ’s Greek club team, Olympiakos , tweeted on Sunday .

Pulido played for Mexico and was included the 2014 World Cup squad . He was left out of the squad for the Copa America , which starts next week , due to a legal dispute with his former Mexican club , Tigres , according to national coach Carlos Osorio .

Pulido ’s kidnapping put attention on the public security problems in Mexico and especially Tamaulipas state , which occupies the country’ s north- eastern corner and has been beset by violence and crimes such as kidnap and extortion .

Security analysts say the Gulf Cartel and its former armed wing Los Zetas have disputed the state since splitting in 2010 .

Ciudad Victoria , the state capital , has been especially hard hit, with shootouts occurring in broad daylight and residents preferring to stay off the streets after dark .

A Mexico City think tankl , the Citizen Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice , has ranked Ciudad Victoria the second - most dangerous city in the country for kidnappings .

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground. The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

She Must Be Obeyed Movie Review

I don't understand Funke Akindele's obsession with the music industry Sha. She is always trying to project the industry one way or the other - we have Industreet already. On this new one Sha, I don't know how to feel about it. This storyline is great. The life of a Celebrity musician behind the camera and in front of the camera. But the directing get as e be. The movie just dey anyhow. But the acting from some cast made up for the 'anyhowness'. Bishop (Okon) was amazing. Lateef was great. Gayness doesn't fit Akah. He shouldn't try it again. Vee tried small. I don't understand what Ali Nuhu was acting. Lizzy Jay sef dey vex person. The entire Rachael Okonkwo family weren't it at all. Mama Gee no try at all. Don't give her a drunk role again. Nancy Isime was Nancy Isime, Just there. Shaffy Bello was great as always. In all, I will give it a 4/10.

Big Love Movie Review

While this movie tried not to be your regular Nollywood Romantic movie, I still got annoyed at some small small mistakes that I saw. Inkblot is too big for some mistakes that were present in this movie. Overall, Big Love is nice. It's a movie that would take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. The beginning was quite not it. Most of the dialogues got me rolling my eyes, like warahell. Casting was great. Storyline was amazing Directing wasn't coordinated. There were scenes that looked rushed and scattered. PS - VJ Adams should just leave Bimbo for Timini. Their chemistry is mind-blowing. Timini had grown as an actor. And it's great to see. Aunty Shaffy is great, as always. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.
