France is to host a security summit on the threat from Boko Haram Islamists, after they abducted more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria in April.
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and other West African leaders will attend the talks in Paris.
On Friday Mr Jonathan was due to visit the north-eastern town of Chibok, where the girls were seized, but called it off for for security reasons.
He has ruled out negotiations over their possible release, reports say.
On Thursday, relatives of the girls called for their unconditional release by Boko Haram.
This came three days after Boko Haram released a video showing more than 100 of the girls and offering an exchange for prisoners.
'Fresh strategies' French President Francois Hollande is expected to open the summit later on Saturday.

The leaders of Nigeria's neighbours - Benin, Cameroon, Niger and Chad - are scheduled to attend the talks, which will also include representatives from the UK, US and EU.
A statement said delegates at the meeting will "discuss fresh strategies for dealing with the security threat posed by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in West and Central Africa".
Mr Hollande on Friday discussed the issue in a phone call with US President Barack Obama.
The safe return of the 223 girls was now one of America's main priorities, with US specialist teams and drones being involved in the rescue operation, the White House said.
France is also providing Nigeria with expert assistance to help release the girls.
US officials have criticised the speed of Nigeria's response to the threat from Boko Haram.

Beyonce Thanks You For Flying Air Yonce

Beyonce
Beyoncé welcomes you aboard aboardt Air Yoncé!
Wait, you didn’t hear that Beyoncé had started her own airline? All the flight attendants wear leopard prints, all the seats are first-class, and you’re literally not allowed to sit in any of them because you’re not Beyoncé.
OK, there might’ve been a few lies up there. As if the “Drunk In Love” singer would even have time to start up an airline in between practicing her golf game, posting up at Coachella, being a flawless mother to Blue Ivy, and, um, making moves for world domination.
Yet, can’t you just hear what the official Air Yoncé landing announcement would sound like in your head? Sung to the tune of “Partition,” obvs: “Passengers, pull up your tray tables, please/ I don’t need to see them laptops on your knees/ You got 45 minutes now to fix that flub/ Or we ain’t gonna make it to the airline hub.”
We’ve got a couple more (dozen) verses drafted up (like a killer “Take all of me” line reworked into “It’s all duty-free”), but we think you get the general idea.

Psquare Publicist, Bayo Adetu Denies Break-up

The Psquare breakup has finally been resolved but it would take a while for many of their fans to forget in a hurry.

While the brothers did not particularly state the reason for the breakup, different claims emerged over the past weeks.
The Okoye brothers who finally reconciled and settled their difference, posted different messages on twitter on April 25, 2014 letting their fans know that all is now well and even apologizing recently stepped out together, since the news went viral.
Meanwhile when the report initially broke out, with Psquare's elder brother/manager, Jude Okoye tweeting on April 18, 2014 “After over 10 years of hard work, it’s over, I’m done", the Public Relations Executive to P-Square, Bayo Adetu when contacted to confirm the report denied saying.
“I am too busy to give some wanna be blogger traffic, I don’t know where that report is coming from. Maybe they just want to get traffic to their site. It’s baseless and untrue”.
Bayo who is still insisting that there was never a fight while speaking in a recent interview with ICON Weekly said:
“There was no fight at all. The whole thing started after Jude tweeted some days back and bloggers feasted on it and gave it several interpretations which never existed, and that was how we got here".
On the comments made by the brothers on social media about their breakup he said: "I can authoritatively tell you that neither of the P-Square brothers, nor even Jude operate their Facebook accounts anymore. Whatever Facebook posted was from an impersonator, pretending to be anyone of them. P-Square is active on twitter, not on Facebook, so you see, the whole thing was founded on lies.

On why they allowed the report go viral:  “In this game, bad publicity is good publicity. When we read those funny posts, we decided to play along with the general public and what they were meant to believe.
