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 .

King Of Swazi chooses Wife, Publicly Test Girls' Virginity As They Dance Naked. (Photos)

A common tradition in Swaziland (Swazi) permits the King, Mswati, to choose a new bride every year. This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news. Although, many consider this barbaric and backward, it’s a tradition the people willingly embrace as the aim is to help King Mswati choose a wife. As part of Swazi custom and norms, that time of the year has come, when the King chooses his bride and again, he has reportedly tested some of the volunteered girls’ virginity before choosing a wife for himself. Thousands of pretty virgins’ were seen in this year’s edition dancing topless for King Mswati III, on what is called the Reed Dance ceremony, also known as Umhlanga), hoping to be his next wife. The Reed Dance ceremony is an annual Swazi and Zulu tradition hel...

Ijakumo Movie Review

Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give. Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words??? I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

Sista Movie Review

The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it. Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense. Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
