Bay Area's First Canine Mayor Memorialized

President-elect Barack Obama's run to the White House was something for the record books but even Mr. Obama would be impressed with the Bosco Ramos story.
Ramos, a Black Labrador and Rottweiler mix, defeated two humans to win the election as mayor of Sunol way back in 1981.
Ramos broke the species barrier 17 years before Obama broke the race barrier.
Mayor Ramos served 13 years in office, until he died. He was interviewed on television, appeared on game shows and news reports that became controversial headlines in Communist China.
Now the country's first non-human mayor will be immortalized in bronze. After a nationwide search, a group of Sunolians commissioned MFA Sculptor Lena Toritch to create a bronze portrait of Ramos that will commemorate the canine political symbol of democracy and humor.

The statue dedication will be held in Sunol on Friday at 4:30 p.m. at the Sunol Post Office, 11925 Main Street.
The idea of Ramos becoming mayor started as a joke amongst friends. His election quickly became world news in the early 1990’s.
The Beijing newspaper, The People’s Daily, held up Mayor Ramos as an example of why free elections don't work. That prompted a story about Mayor Bosco on the NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw.
Then in the wake of the historical Chinese protest in Tienanmen Square, Ramos joined Chinese students from Stanford University and UC Berkeley in protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in San Francisco.
Reporters from around the world came to Sunol to meet Mayor Ramos. Japanese journalists interviewed the mayor and his staff and a Tibetan priest arrived at the Sunol Lounge, requesting to meet Bosco. News services in Germany and Holland carried the stories.

When not representing the serious side of independence and creativity in democracy, Ramos was always a hit with Sunol residents when he led Halloween parades for Sunol Glen School, or wore his tuxedo vest to high social occasions.
But mostly folks remember him wearing his everyday kerchief and that is how sculptor Lena Toritch has portrayed this likable canine.
Toritch is a leading portrait sculptor who most recently created three heroic size statues for the Utah Law Enforcement Memorial at the Utah State Capital. Her current portrait work is a life-size bust of Obama.
Toritch mastered anatomy, composition, and technique skills as a graduate student at the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts in Russia.
She left her hometown of St. Petersburg in 1995, seeking a place to express her creativity and develop her unique artistic style. She found that place in Salt Lake City at Young Fine Art Studio, which specializes in bronze monuments.

Chihuahua Named "Mayor of San Francisco" For One Day

A small female Chihuahua named Frida was named "Mayor of San Francisco" for one day Tuesday in support of the Department of Animal Care and Control, the city's publicly funded animal shelter.
Frida was decreed "Mayor for a Day" at the Friends of Animal Care and Control's 25th anniversary gala on Sept. 20 in a bidding war between pet owners that ultimately raised funds for programs at the shelter.

Frida, accompanied by her entourage, received a commendation from Supervisor Scott Wiener during the Board of Supervisors meeting at City Hall at 2 p.m..
Frida's reign as mayor officially ended on the steps of City Hall at 4 p.m., when she was greeted by her supporters and given a retirement package, according to Animal Care and Control officials.

Dean Clark, who is Frida's owner, is the chief executive officer of For The Love of Dog USA, a non-profit group that raises awareness and funds for animals in need.
Frida isn't the first Bay Area's first canine mayor: Ramos, a Black Labrador and Rottweiler mix, defeated two humans to become mayor of Sunol back in 1981.

Ipob members IN MALAGA,SPAIN HIT THE STREETS TODAY THE 13TH OF AUGUST 2016, IN A PEACEFUL PROTEST FOR THE RELEASE OF NNAMDI KANU.

The high death tolls among Nigeria soldiers is getting alarming . For 11 soldiers to died in an internal gang war is unheard such high single death is only possible in an external aggression.

i think Nepotism have weaken the Nigeria Armed force and degrade her capability to even engage criminal gangs.

few minute ago another 3 Soldiers have been Killed in Nembe .

Nepotism should never be allowed in the Military its not a job for those with high connections

NOW TELL ME PLEASE, WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK OUR FIRST LADY AISHA BUHARI RECENTLY PASSED THROUGH?
Do not forget that both the Georgetown University and the United States Institute for Peace all have offices in DOHA, the Capital city of Qatar.

The Nigeria press community should not misquote the NDA on our statement on the Nigeria military killing innocent civilians in Arepo, Ogun State.
The High command of the NDA only bemoaned and condemns the reckless war game that the military is embarking upon with the lives and property of defenseless law abiding citizens in those communities while the criminals have fled the area. We should not be linked to activities of criminals and illegal bunkering going on in any part of the country that the Nigeria security agencies are the main benefactors and collaborators.
The military should not use such contrived video clips to justify their killings and destruction of property of defenseless citizens in Ogun State. That we cannot be intimidated by these video clips of propaganda and drones.
The press and the general public should not quote us out of context; we only expressed our concern on the bombing by the government. When the criminals have already fled the crime scene. Which amount to the death of innocent citizens in Arepo. So the military should stop justification of extra judicial killings. That is our position.

Following the crash of the naira, Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, has dropped off the list of the 100 richest people in the world.

Dangote was the 51st richest man in the world as at March 2016, but he dropped to 101th place yesterday, reported online news website, The Cable.

Dangote, who owns the second largest sugar-refinery in the world, remains richer than Donald Trump, American billionaire and presidential candidate, and Oprah Winfrey, US TV personality, who ranks as the second richest black woman in the world.

Dangote is now worth $11.1 billion, while Trump and Oprah are estimated at $4.5 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively.

The fall of the naira against the dollar from about 198 to over 300 shaved off about a quarter of Dangote’s wealth, as he commits to investing heavily in Africa’s largest economy.

At the launch of the new foreign exchange regime on June 23, 2016, Dangote fell from 46 on the world’s billionaire list to 71, and has continued in that manner as the local currency continues to plunge.

According to Bloomberg billionaires, Dangote, who was worth $15.4 billion (N3.05 trillion) in March, is now worth $11.1 billion (N3.3 trillion) —richer in naira, but poorer in dollars.

Another Round of Genocide in Lagos communities as Soldiers throws bombs at innocent civilians

Nigeria government has again carried out another phase of genocide as they bombarded Lagos communities in their search for the Niger Delta Avengers.

A resident of the affected community who confided in family writers said that the military attacked Fatola, in search of the Niger Delta avengers, adding that houses around the area were bombarded as over 1800 People were counted Dead. The source further disclosed that Nigerian Air Force where using fighter jets throwing napal bombs and shelling the whole area.




In an effort to make sure that the Nigeria soldiers dealt bitterly to the Niger Delta Avengers, they gunned down over hundreds of the fleeing residence who were not the members of the Group.” Another resident simply identify as Olawale said people in the area had already deserted their homes due to the bombardment.

From the ongoing investigations conducted by Family Writers intelligent source, it was revealed that the code name of the OPERATION IS, OPERATION AWATSE, initiated by the defence headquarters to dominate the area with a view to flushing out all manners of criminals.

But today reverse is the case. THE OPERATION AWATSE as codenamed has significantly proven a failure as they have exterminated the members of Lagos Community. We there uses this medium to call for the intervention of the international communities, world leaders, and human right organization to quickly caution NIGERIA ARMY,and bring them to book for all the whole genocide carried out in Nigeria

My friend leave Yoruba out of this , you cannot wipe up our sentiment. Obiano is a lair and big scam. no export took place

DaBullIT:
if the government carries out any attack, youths in Igboland will be asked to join the Avengers


I bet those who join will be the stupid ones ?? because not being an avenger or their sympathizer makes you an innocent civilian

and as the case may be , even if they did join, will there be enough weapons to weild or it'll be 4 stupid youths to a dane gun ??


Think before you talk

it may be dangerous to disregard this until we know the sponsors of avengers and source of finance since the dont kidnap or demand ramsome

Nigeria maybe on the verge of another full scale war with the planned invasion of Niger Delta this weekend under operation EX Crocodile Smile

– IPOB has insisted that it supports the activities of the Niger Delta Avengers – It warned that if the government carries out any attack, youths in Igboland will be asked to join the Avengers – It says since the release of Nnamdi Kanu is one of the agenda of the militants, they were in support The Indigenous People Of B..i/afra (IPOB) has warned that it will order youths in the south east region to join the Niger Delta Avengers if the government carries out any attack against them. Vanguard reports that IPOB reiterated its allegiance to the militants who have been carrying out series of bombing of oil and gas pipeline in the Niger Delta region.

2015: Nigeria will collapse if Jonathan fail to win the Presidency- Ifeduba by tochukwuifeduba: 7:20am On Nov 12, 2014

President Jonathan a south-South politician and president of Nigeria is the only fibre holding Nigeria together.
You will notice recently that the Biafra seccessionist agitation have completely come to an end you rarely hear such talks anymore. The sole reason for this is because our kinsman atleast from the former EASTERN Region of Nigeria Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is in power. Its irrational for the Biafra separatist to continue such agitation because they have no intention of making things difficult for Mr President. Moreover they will not have the support of majority of the Igbos who sees Jonathan as one of the Sons of the great Zik , Azikiwe

Also the Niger Delta separatist agitation have come to an end ( oil thief is a criminal activity not seccesion) during the period of President Goodluck Jonathan. Although amnesty was introduced by Late former President but i must also emphasied that such amnesty was even considered and accepted because Goodluck Jonathan was the Vice- President then and he personally went into the creek to negotiate with the Niger Delta Separatist.

In the North Boko haram is already holding alot of territory and spreading the reign of terror among the law abiding citizens of the North.

What will happen?

If Jonathan fails to win the 2015 election Nigeria will be in grave danger because the Niger Delta Separarist will bounce back in great force and Declare the PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF NIGER DELTA.
In a surprise move Dr Goodluck Jonathan will be invited to by His people to come home and become the President of Niger Delta

Also the Dead Biafra separatist groups will be reactivated

in the middlebelt region the minority tribes will team up together and form a civilian outfit that will protect them from the advancing Boko Haram Islamist. This Civilian outfit will slowly evolved into a state.

The Nigeria army who are already war weary by Boko Haram 5 years war cannot hold the country together anymore because the attacks will be simultanious. Also the army will be starved of fund because their budgets will be frozen and all the Nigeria foreign account reserves hold by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will disappear and siphon back to the Niger Delta .

The South- west will be the only peaceful region in the case Jonathan fail in 2015. That will be the end of Nigeria as we know it today.

CONGRATS TO ALL STRIKE TEAM OF THE NIGER DELTA AVENGERS.

From the high command of the Niger Delta Avengers we congratulating all strike teams of the Avengers without taking any innocent life or that of the Nigeria military we were able to shut down 50% of crude production.

We have been seeing a lot on the media about us. Some are asking, “Who are you avenging?” some calling us empty heads, ex-agitators have been condemning us on daily basis. Our criticizer from other part of the country, we don’t have any thing to tell you because you clearly don’t know how life is in the region.
To our criticizers from the region we want you to know you are all cowards and afraid to stand for your people.

To ex-agitators of the likes of Tompolo, We know why you people are after us. Our agitation is more civilize than yours the Niger Delta Avengers is more concern with people of Niger Delta unlike you (ex-agitations) that were into kidnapping, killing of Nigeria soldiers, sea pirates, vessel and tanker hijacking. But we were able to carry out all our operations without killing a fly. We have sophisticated arms far better than what you use to have during your kidnapping days.

After the amnesty Programme you (ex-agitators) has been enjoying patronize from the government and royalty from multinational oil companies. While we (Avengers) have been strategizing on how the voice of the Niger Deltans can be heard. we are fighting a radical fight without taking any life.

Lets make it clear, to you our elder brothers (ex-agitators) that we are not begging you to join this agitation. We are young, educated, well traveled and most of us were educated in east Europe but don’t worry when we achieved our goal (sovereign state of Niger Delta) then you people will be proud of us. In as much as we respect you as our elder brothers (ex-agitators) please don’t dare to stand on our way because if you do we will crash you.

To the citizens of the Niger Delta who share same idea with us we thank you all. Just know that no amount of criticism within and outside the region can stop us.
For the record the Niger Delta Avengers is enjoying the blame game going around.

To the Nigeria military the Niger Delta avengers is among you. And we know all your plans so we will always ten steps ahead of you. In our meeting comprising all heads of the strike teams, which was held in Bayelsa. The Niger Delta Avengers high Command comes to the conclusion that, if the military harass or invade any community in the region then you (Nigeria military) will get a feel of the Avengers.
If you smart or intelligent enough you will look inward not outside. We know when you are vulnerable but not take our calmness for granted.

To our brothers from Easterner Nigeria, whom have been condemning and calling us names. The simple fact you are living comfortable doesn’t mean we like you.
The Commander of Strike team 9 of the Niger Delta Avengers is from Eastern Nigeria so no body should limit this struggle to the Ijaws of the Niger Delta only. The leader of the strike team 6 that blew up chevron valve platform is Itsekiri. The Commander of our elite team strike team one is from Akwa Ibom.
So if you are calling us empty heads just know you brothers are part of Niger Delta Avengers as well. Avengers is different from former agitators who limited the struggle to just the Ijaws

To international Oil Companies, this is just the beginning and you have not seen anything yet. We will make you suffer as you have been made the people of Niger deltans suffered over the years from environmental degradation, and environment pollution.

To the President of Nigeria Buhari, we are sure you have not been to the creeks of the Niger delta before and 90% of your cabinets does not know how the region looks like. You think the Niger delta region is full of animals, who are going to frustrate your government. Your government that is not following rule of law, unlawful detention of innocent people just likes of Nnamdi Kanu. All he wanted was to let his people go. Nnamdi kanu didn’t carry any arm against this country but was incarcerated. We want you to know that’s no civilize President will behaves this way. If that is how you devised to run the country we will prefer you do that in the northern region.
When couples are tired of living together to make peace they go their separate ways. That is what Nnamdi kanu and the Niger deltans are asking.
You always say you fought for the unity of this country during the civil war. You haven’t been to the Niger delta, how can you know what the people are facing I believe your Vice will tell how the region is suffering and under developed when he visited the Forcados Terminal. That is if he ever looks out of his helicopter window.

17. Mike adenuga’s Conoil controls and operates Six (6) oil blocs and exports about 500,000 barrels of crude oil daily. These 6 oil bloc worth $500 billion Dollars.

From our analysis above, 90% oil blocs are allocated to individuals from northern Nigeria and some confused elements from the region are calling the Niger Delta Avengers names, some are calling us criminals. Our question to these groups of individuals calling us names are; where were you when all these atrocities were happening to the people of the Niger Delta? IT’S A PITY.

To owners and operators of these oil blocs in our region the Niger Delta Avengers is giving you two weeks ultimatum to shut down your operations and evacuates your staff. If at the end of the ultimatum and you still operating. We will blow up all the locations. It will be bloody. So just shut down your operations and leave.
There is rumor that oil has been discovered in the North East. How will you feel if this found oil is been managed by Niger Deltans. We are very sure the Niger deltans wont even have 2% oil bloc if oil is really found in the Northeast. If you didn’t shut down we will shut your stations permanently for you.

No agent or representative of the Avengers has called the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Group Managing Director, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu to threat his life.
To all International Oil Companies, Indigenous Oil Companies and Contractors if anyone called saying there members of Avengers please not listen or take them serious because our ideology and belief is far from that.

Once again on behalf of all the commanders of the avengers strike teams we congratulate our loyal and gallant soldiers who put human life before their targets. On behalf of the Niger Delta people we said congratulation as we have cripple the Nigeria economy by 50% by the grace of God we will make it 100% if our demands are not met soon.
By October 2016 we will display our Currency, Flag, Passport, our ruling Council and our Territory to the world.

To the United Nations, we are not asking for much but to free the people of the Niger Delta from environmental pollution, slavery, and oppression. We want a country that will turn the creeks of the Niger delta to a tourism heaven, a country that will achieve its full potentials, a country that will make health care system accessible by everyone. With Niger delta still under the country Nigeria we can’t make it possible. So we are calling on the Ban Ki-Moon Secretary General United Nations and all Heads of the government of the five Permanent Security Council members to come to the aid of Niger delta people. We are calling on world leaders to come to the Niger delta to see the atrocities committed by the Nigeria government

Long Live the Niger delta Avengers.
Long Live the Niger Delta.

Biafra youth league backs Niger Delta Avengers

20:33 10/05/2016
Delta - The Deputy President of the Biafra Nations Youth League (BNYL), Ebuta Victor Takon, has come out in support of the Niger Delta Avengers, the rampaging new militant group in the oil-rich region.

Deputy President of BNYL, Ebuta Victor Takon, thus called for dialogue between the Government and the militant group in order to end bombing of pipelines.

Takon stated as follows.

“The Nigeria government should give peace a chance and adhere to the demands of the militants. We are in support of the demands because we don't want the continuous destruction of our pipelines. It belongs to us,” said Takon.

The emergent Niger Delta Avengers has embarked on a violent crusade against the alleged inequitable distribution of oil wealth.
Also read:Militants threaten to bomb Lagos, Abuja
Last Thursday, a strike team hit the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation (NNPC) crude and gas lines feeding the Warri and Kaduna refineries.

Earlier, the militants blew up the Chevron valve platform as different security agencies and militants held separate undisclosed meetings to re-appraise their tactics, following a fresh directive by President Muhammadu Buhari that the group, which claimed responsibility for the recent bombing of oil/gas installations in Warri, Delta State, be overpowered.

Meanwhile, Takon sympathized with the people of Enugu State over attack by Fulani herdsmen.

The state is among the worst affected by the ongoing communal clashes that have claimed over 1 000 this year.

Takon extended condolences to the families of those killed by the herdsmen.

"It is quite unfortunate that the attack was planned in the neighbouring middle belt and shocking to know that some people from middle belt were part of it. We will not tolerate any further attacks on our people. It is an assurance.”
