Politics / PDP Will Win Osun State Governorship Election- Atiku. by Isiomabright: 9:07pm On Sep 24, 2018
I am confident PDP will win in Osun, no matter the ulterior motive of APC. I call on Senator Omisore to remember the PDP, which believed in him and gave him its ticket in 2014. I urge him to join with all who want to deliver Osun from negative change and support @IsiakaAdeleke1
The people of Osun have made their choice. What is required of @inecnigeria is to express that decision without any subtraction or addition. Anything short of that is a threat to democracy and a call to anarchy.

Politics / PDP In Fresh Trouble As APC Campaign Council Blast PDP Over Grandstanding Call O by Isiomabright: 8:02pm On Sep 24, 2018
The APC Campaign Council for the 2018 Osun Governorship Election has described as excessive grandstanding the call by the PDP for INEC to declare its candidate in the polls as the winner.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday, the Chairman of the Council’s Media Committee, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, decried the PDP’s descent into hysteria after INEC announced that the election was inconclusive.
Mohammed said PDP’s position reinforced the Council’s earlier statement that the opposition party was in the panic mode prior to the election, and that it had no confidence in the institutions saddled with
organising the polls.
He said rather than resort to threats, the PDP could either go to court or decide not to participate in the supplementary election of Sept. 27th.
“What the PDP cannot and must not do, the Council said, is to engage in its trade-mark brigandage or to employ tactics that can short-circuit the democratic process.
”In its time, there would have been no room for a supplementary election in Osun because the PDP would have used state institutions to hijack the election proper, as it did in Ekiti in 2014. But in its deafening hysteria, the PDP pretends not to understand the real meaning of the outcome of the

Osun: PDP Rejects INEC Declaration of Osun Guber as Inconclusive

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rejects in its entirety, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC’s) declaration of the September 22, 2018 Osun State Governorship election as inconclusive.

The PDP insists that the process was conclusive and that its candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, who won a total of 254, 698 votes, is in clear lead and should be immediately declared winner by INEC, having met the requirements of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Section 179 (2) (a)(b) of the 1999 Constitution, (as amended), is clear and very unambiguous in spelling out the conditions for returning a candidate to the office of governor of a state.

This section states inter-alia, “A candidate for an election to the office of Governor of a State shall be deemed to have been duly elected where,

Politics / Our Electoral System Is At Stake. Senate President Saraki Blast INEC Been Biased by Isiomabright: 8:35pm On Sep 23, 2018
The senate president Bukola Saraki one of the president aspirants candidate of people democratic party PDP has condemned the inconclusive declaration of INEC over the Governorship election of Osun state conducted yesterday. The senate president who acause INEC of been biased in his word said...
In my layman's opinion, @INECNigeria was wrong in declaring the Osun Gubernatorial election as inconclusive because the votes in certain polling units were cancelled.
The decision of @INECNigeria to cancel the election in those areas after voting had taken place, means that @INECNigeria had already excluded the votes in these areas from the election process and therefore those units should have no place in the overall results. #OsunDecides2018
My opinion would have been different if the election in the affected units did not take place at all, perhaps as a result of malfunctioning card readers or the unavailability of the electoral materials. #OsunDecides2018

Five Governorship aspirants of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State on Friday passed a vote of no confidence on the party’s State Chairman, Hassan Hyat, for allegedly favouring a particular aspirant ahead of the party’s primaries.

The aspirants who addressed a press conference in Kaduna under the aegis of the Forum of PDP Governorship Aspirants, kicked against the alleged imposition of one of the aspirants by some members of the State Working Committee (SWC).

The disgruntled aspirants include Sen. Suleiman Hunkuyi, Alhaji Mohammed Sani-Sidi, Ramalan Yero, Muhammed Sani-Bello and Dr Shuaibu Idris-Mikati.

Ahmed Maiyaki, head of Media team for Sani-Sidi, who spoke on their behalf said the aspirants have appealed to the party’s national leadership to take charge of affairs in the state to avoid crisis during the primary election.

”The forum deems it a duty to intimate the national leadership of our great party, teeming party members, supporters and the general public on the following concerns:

‘‘Prior to and after losing the 2015 general elections, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) had never been a more ‘cherished bride’ with the prospects of winning almost all the elective posts in Kaduna State than now with more people willing to join and participate actively in rescuing our state and the nation at large.

Sports / Gennady Golovkin Suffered The First Loss Of His Professional Career When Saul 'C by Isiomabright: 9:57am On Sep 16, 2018
Gennady Golovkin suffered the first loss of his professional career when Saul 'Canelo' Alvares won an epic middleweight world title fight in Las Vegas on Saturday.



A year after their first fight ended in a controversial draw, Alvares clinched a points decision that again divided experts in what many thought could have gone the other way.



Two judges gave it 115-113 for Alvares, while the other had it a 114-114 draw.



The fight, in front of a sellout, celebrity-studded crowd that included Mike Tyson, actor Will Smith and basketballer LeBron James at T-Mobile Arena, lived up to its billing as the best two pound-for-pound fighters in the world.



Golovkin landed some big blows to the head in the closing rounds, opening a cut above Alvares' left eye, but the Mexican prevailed to improve his career record to 50-1-2, including 34 knockouts.



Golovkin fell to 38-1-1, with 34 knockouts.



It was his first defeat since the 2005 world amateur championships.



"It was a very tight fight," said Alvares in a ringside interview after becoming the WBC, WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine world champion.



"I looked for a knockout but it's difficult. He's a great fighter but in the end I got the victory.



"I'm very excited, very emotional. I want to thank everyone who believes in me. This is for them and long live Mexico."



Kazakh Golovkin, 36, thought he had perhaps done enough to get the decision.



"I’m not going to say who won tonight, because the victory belongs to Canelo according to the judges," he was quoted as saying by ESPN.



"I thought it was a very good fight for the fans, and very exciting. I thought I fought better than he did."



ESPN boxing analyst Teddy Atlas agreed.



"There's no doubt about it. Golovkin won the fight," Atlas said. "At the end of the day it was the wrong decision..."



Golovkin was tentative early as Alvares dictated the terms, but the

Politics / Nigeria Government Has Slammed HSBC On Predicted That The Second Term Of Buhari by Isiomabright: 11:24pm On Sep 15, 2018
The Nigerian government has slammed a caveat on the prophecy by the global banking giant HSBC which predicted that the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari would stunt the economy.

Dismissing the bank’s bleak scenario for Nigeria post 2019, government said on the contrary, what killed Nigeria’s economy in the past was the unbridled looting of state resources by leaders, actively supported by HSBC.

Government recalled how the bank soiled its hands with ‘‘millions of US dollars yet-to-be-recovered Abacha loot’’, and continued until a few months ago to shield the stolen funds of one of the leaders of the Nigerian Senate,

It wondered how a bank with such a reputation could wield the moral right whatsoever to project that a “second term for Mr. Buhari raises the risk of limited economic progress and further fiscal deterioration.”

“Rather, we ask them to heed President Buhari’s constant refrain: return our stolen assets, then see how well we will do”, said Malam Garba Shehu, senior special assistant on the media, who issued a statement on behalf of the Presidential Villa.

“From the facts available to our investigation agencies, HSBC’s put down on President Buhari is no more than an expression of frustration over the administration’s measures put in place which has abolished grand corruption, the type which this bank thrives on in many countries.

Former heavyweight champion Floyd Mayweather said on Saturday he was coming out of retirement for a 2018 rematch with Manny Pacquiao.

"I’m coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao this year," Mayweather, 41, said on his Instagram account. "Another 9 figure pay day on the way."

An accompanying video showed the two fighters at a music festival in Tokyo but it was difficult to hear what they were saying.

In a later video obtained by ESPN, Mayweather says, "Tokyo Japan here we go.... I'm coming back in December."

He added, "I'm going to take it (the belt) from him like I did before. We gonna get the payday and I don't want no shoulder excuses."

A rematch had been speculated for years after the two met in a ballyhooed 2015 fight.

Undefeated Mayweather scored a unanimous decision that earned him an estimated $220 million. Pacquiao later said he was hampered by a right shoulder injury.

Japan's Nissan Motor Co has signed U.S. Open champion Naomi Osaka as its next brand ambassador, the automaker said on Thursday, tapping the tennis star's youth, drive and Japanese roots to appeal to younger customers.

The deal further raises the profile of the 20-year-old Osaka, who shot to international fame when she defeated American Serena Williams on Saturday to become the first Japanese player to claim a Grand Slam singles crown.

"Growing up, my dad drove a Nissan, so being able to be a brand ambassador now, it feels like I've come full circle," Osaka said, speaking mainly in English at a contract signing event at Nissan's headquarters in Yokohama.

Nissan said the passionate videogame player and Beyonce fan would appear in global promotions and advertising in its three-year contract, in something of a branding departure for a firm whose popular GT-R sports car attracts men aged 40 and older.

Pope Francis has ordered an investigation of an American bishop accused of sexual misconduct with adults and accepted his resignation, the Vatican and U.S. Church officials said on Thursday.

The announcement was made as the pope was meeting U.S. Catholic Church leaders to discuss the fallout from a scandal involving a former American cardinal and demands from an archbishop that the pontiff step down.

The Catholic Church worldwide is reeling from crises involving sexual abuse of minors. Surveys show plummeting confidence in the Church the United States, Chile, Australia, and Ireland where the scandal has hit hardest, as well as in other countries.

The bishop who resigned is Michael J. Bransfield, 75, of the diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia. The Vatican said the pope had appointed Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore to run the diocese until a new bishop is appointed.

Neither the Vatican nor the Archdiocese of Baltimore gave any details of the specific allegations against Bransfield.

Neither Bransfield nor his legal representative could immediately be reached for comment.

Health / (IARC) Warns That More Than 8.9 Million Will Be Kill By Cancer 2018. by Isiomabright: 12:02am On Sep 13, 2018
Cancer will kill nearly 10 million people this year, experts said Wednesday, warning the disease’s global burden continues to rise in spite of better prevention and earlier diagnosis.
An estimated 18.1 million new cancer cases were predicted worldwide for 2018 — with 9.6 million deaths, said a report of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
This is up from estimated 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million deaths reported in the agency’s last assessment just six years ago.
The toll is rising as populations expand and grow older, and people in developing nations adopt unhealthy, high-risk lifestyles traditionally associated with richer economies.
An increased focus on prevention — encouraging people to get exercise, quit smoking, and eating a healthy diet — led to a drop in certain types of cancer in some population groups, the IARC said.
Yet the overall number of new cases is racing ahead of efforts to contain the disease.
“These new figures highlight that much remains to be done to address the alarming rise in the cancer burden globally and that prevention has a key role to play,” said IARC director Christopher Wild.
One in five men and one in six women will develop cancer during their lifetime, the study said, and the World Health Organization expects the disease to be the leading cause of death in the 21st century.
There are dozens of types of cancer, and the agency found large differences between countries due to a host of socioeconomic factors.
– Biggest killer –
Asia, unsurprisingly given its enormous population, accounted for nearly half of all new cases and more than half of cancer deaths worldwide in 2018.
Lung cancer remains the biggest killer overall, responsible for some 1.8 million deaths — nearly a quarter of the global toll.
