Education / Please, A Serious Advice Is Needed Here For A Not-well- Brilliant Person. by Jetland(m): 1:28pm On Feb 28, 2016 |
I have asked for some helps here in previous times, and i got satisfactory responses. I know this one will not be left out. I finished my higher school few years ago and now i want to further my education since it's obvious that it sounds very ridiculous to know that one is a school cert when he/she is no longer a kid. There are good courses that i would love to opt for, but whenever i think about how i went through my secondary school period, i have the feeling within me that it's a wise decision for me to choose a course that doesn't require much calculations though i studied science course in secondary school. What i mean is that i dont want to choose a course that involves much physics, chemistry and maths. Please can anyone advise me on which course i can choose that doesnt require much calculation because that is one of the problems that i have. This is as a result of what i experienced during my secondary school times. I left my dad while in JSS 2, so i had to take the mantle of self-sponsorship before i could finish my secondary school. Back then i was used to do some labours to pay my school fees. and when ever i have to do some labours to pay my school fees, i would have to suspend school to achieve that. I wonder why i was not expelled from school since they hardly see me in school. I could count the number of days i attended lectures in every terms. Please i need help here seriously. I dont know if the mod can help me take this to the front page though i know it doesnt worth it. |

Politics / Breaking News: INEC Declares Yahaya Bello Kogi Governor-elect by Jetland(m): 7:33am On Dec 06, 2015 |
The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Alh. Yahaya Bello as the winner of the Kogi governorship poll. APC polled 247,752 votes to defeat PDP who came a strong second with 204,877 votes. In today’s supplementary poll, APC polled 6885 votes to beat PDP which polled 5363 votes.ININEC declares Yahaya Bello Kogi Governor-Elect Declaring the results in Lokoja, the Chief Returning Officer for the election, Prof. Emmanuel Kucha, who is the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, said having fulfilled all legal requirements, Alh. Yahaya Bello is declared winner of the election and Kogi Governor-Elect. Kucha declared: “That Yahaya Bello, having polled the highest number of votes and satisfied the law is hereby returned elected”. The collation of results was temporarily paused when an unidentified agent of the PDP asked about the status of APC running mate. But the Resident Electoral Commissioner said Faleke remains the running mate to Alh. Yahaya Bello. The supplementary poll took place in 18 of the 21 Local Government Areas in the state. Immediately the results were announced, the streets of Lokoja, Kotonkarfe and Okene erupted in jubilation as people poured into the streets in hundreds to celebrate the victory. At Isanlu, Bello Support Organization said it is victory for democracy. Speaking exclusively to Vanguard at Isanlu, Chief Strategist of the organization, Abdulrasaq Ashiru said Yahaya Bello is God-sent for Kogi redemption. In his words: “This is the moment we have been waiting for; the moment of history. This is the time we have worked for; the hour of renaissance. Generations after us will be told the history of this day. “You can see the state-wide jubilation. That is the level of acceptance of the man, Yahaya Bello. He is the symbol of a new direction for our dear state. It is high time we placed emphasis on the factors that unite us. We are one people. “To the people’s governor, the time for ethnic equality is now. We must be united by the actions of government so that we can move forward as a state”. Also, a former Chairman of Okene Local Government Area, Hon. Saliu Ohize told Vanguard that Yahaya Bello’s victory os a product of the works of the late political leader of Ebiraland, Sen. A.T. Ahmed. “Today, I am shedding tears of joy and regret. Joy in the sense that a great governor has emerged. Regret in the sense that our leader, Sen. A.T. Ahmed is not here today to savour the fruits of his labour”. When our reporters contacted the governor-elect, Alh. Yahaya Bello, he said the victory belongs to all Kogites, asking everybody to rally round him to translate the victory to a success. He is expected to address the press soon.

Politics / APC Picks Yahaya Bello As Audu’s Replacement by Jetland(m): 6:55am On Nov 28, 2015 |
After extensive consultations, the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday submitted the name of Yahaya Bello as the party’s new candidate for Kogi governorship supplementary poll. Bello replaces Prince Abubakar Audu, who died last weekend after leading the poll with 41,000. It was also learnt that the APC has retained Hon. James Abiodun Faleke as the party’s deputy governorship candidate. Mohammed Audu, the son of the late governorship candidate, was dumped by the party because the party felt that fielding him might vitiate the entire governorship poll in the state. But the people of Kogi West were mounting pressure on Faleke yesterday not to accept the nomination of Bello. Although they asked Faleke to withdraw from the race, the deputy governorship candidate was yet to make up his mind on the next step at press time. Investigation by our correspondent revealed that APC leaders, with the backing of some forces in the Presidency, opted for Bello because he came second in the party’s primaries behind Audu. It was also gathered that the APC leaders felt there was no way Mohammed Audu could be fielded as a compromise candidate since he was not a candidate in the primaries. A top source in APC said: “Our leaders met and after consultations reached a conclusion on the choice of Yahaya Bello from Kogi Central as the party’s governorship candidate to substitute the late Prince Abubakar Audu. “The leaders arrived at the conclusion because Bello was second to Audu at the validly conducted governorship primaries of the party. Instead of running into crisis with fresh primaries, the party opted to dust up the result of the previous one which was witnessed by INEC. “A letter, signed by the National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on the choice of Bello has been submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Friday.” Asked of other factors behind the choice of Bello, the top APC leader said: “Our leaders bought into the idea that Faleke is strange to the politics of the state, having had most of his political career in Lagos. They felt it is better for him to learn the ropes in the state before becoming a governor. “They also argued that the choice of Bello will ensure power shift in the state and since the Ebiras were behind Audu, it won’t be difficult to foster understanding between Kogi East and Kogi Central Senatorial Districts. “Do not forget that Kogi East had already produced the minister from the state. “Another important factor is that some of the 91 polling units where elections were cancelled are in Kogi Central, and it will be easier to mobilize the electorate in the district to get the required votes to defeat the PDP candidate, Governor Idris Wada. “There was also some conspiracy behind the refusal of the ticket for Faleke. Some presidency forces stamped their feet that he must not be allowed to step into Audu’s shoes because of internal power struggles in APC. “I won’t give you names but the forced were more powerful than Oyegun and other NWC members.” On the dumping of Mohammed Audu, the source said: “Our leaders were guided by Section 141 of the Electoral Act. If we choose him, the entire election will be voided. “The section says: ‘An election tribunal or court shall not under any circumstance declare any person a winner at an election in which such a person has not fully participated in all the stages of such election. “We love the Audus but we cannot take such a big risk. If Wada and PDP go to court, they will win against Mohammed Audu.” As press time, there was pressure on Faleke by the people of Kogi West to opt out of the race. A different source said: “There are many options open to Faleke but the people of Kogi West want him to withdraw from the race. If Yahaya Bello gets the ticket, he might be reduced to a dummy deputy governor. “Unless Faleke can fight his cause in court and claim his mandate, he will be frustrated as a deputy governor. If he quits, the party will have justification for bringing Mohammed Audu and Kogi West will be politically alienated.” http://thenationonlineng.net/apc-picks-yahaya-bello-as-audus-replacement

Politics / APC May Declare Yahaya Bello As Audu’s Replacement by Jetland(m): 3:43pm On Nov 26, 2015 |
By Kingsley Fanwo Ahead of the historic decision to be announced by the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja today, strong indications have shown that Yahaya Bello may be declared as the candidate of the party ahead of the December 5 supplementary poll of the party. A member of the National Working Committee who craved anonymity confided in Vanguard that the decision to field Yahaya Bello was informed by his status as the runner-up up in the governorship primaries of the party, held on August 29 at the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja. According to the NWC member, the party may shelve the fresh primaries earlier proposed and declare Yahaya Bello as replacement for the late Prince Abubakar Audu. In his words: “We have been working round the clock to resolve the Kogi issue. INEC has given us the green light to come up with a replacement for the late Prince Abubakar Audu. Initially, we thought of organizing a fresh primary election. But with the current scenario, we have resolved to follow advice from informed quarters in order not to play into the hands of the PDP. “Bringing a fresh candidate now may throw up some legal issues as the primary we had in August has not been voided. As a party of change, we have to ensure we do things in accordance with the law. “We are presently building consensus around the decision as we need to put our house in order before making any announcement”. The source however said there were still a handful of opposition from powerful quarters against the nomination of Yahaya Bello but that the presidency is insisting on the party towing the path of constitutionalism on the Kogi governorship issue.

Politics / Why Kogi Needs Change Of Leadership by Jetland(m): 11:38am On Oct 12, 2015 |
The people of Kogi Central and Kogi West in Kogi
State are now going
through serious siege mentality because the
people of Kogi East, the
Igalas have colonized them since the creation of
Kogi State in 1991 and
are now ready more than ever before to maintain
the status quo in
perpetuity . What is more glaring ! the Igalas
have emerged as the
governorship candidates of the two major political
parties in the State,
APC and PDP for the governorship election
scheduled for 21st of November,
2015.
Immediately after the two times former governor
of Kogi State, Prince
Abubakar Audu emerged as the APC flag bearer in
the State, investigations
and personal observations revealed that Igalas
everywhere were
congratulating each other and or one another.
Why the congratulations
everywhere on an election that has not been
conducted and won by anyone?
The answer is that now, heador tail, they believe
the governor of Kogi
State is once again theirs. If Audu wins and Alhaji
Ibrahim Jibril Echocho
is not going to get the ticket of PDP in 2019, he
(Echocho) will be
prevailed upon to defect to APC so that Audu can
hand over to him. Where
Echocho secures the ticket of PDP in 2019, Audu
would work for him even
as APC governor. This anti-party activity will
mean nothing to him as far
as the Igala Agenda remains intact according to
rumours making the rounds.
I will now trace this long-standing Igala Agenda.
Immediately Prince
Abubakar Audu became the first governor of the
newly created Kogi State in
1991, the Igalas are believed through what they
say and do to have come up
with this Agenda that what happened to them
when they were in Benue State
that they never tasted Political power as governor
must also happen to the
Ebiras and the Okuns. This Agenda is without
prejudice to the fake
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)according
to Abubakar Audu between him
and the late Chief Sunday Awoniyi and Alhaji Sule
Okene in his residence
in Okene concerning rotation of governorship
between the Igalas, the
Ebiras and the Okuns.
The first knowledge of this Igala Agenda was
Audu argument that he was
not disposed to hand over political power to the
Ebiras because as he put
it, Okene in Ebiraland is already the London of
Kogi State! To concretise
this Agenda, Audu created 15 additional Local
Government Areas from the
original six that came with the State and which
was two each from the
three Senatorial Zones that make up the State, Of
the 15 new L.G.A, he
gave Kogi East 7, Kogi West 5 and Kogi Central 3.
Yes, Mission
accomplished! It is based on this number of
L.G.A he shared political
appointments and other positions and resources.
While the Igalas are given
65-70%, 30% to the Okuns, Ebiras are usually
given 10% or so. National and
State resources, Political positions and
appointments are not shared
according to populations of the federating States
or L.G.A alone.
Other criteria include equality of States or L.G.A,
availability of
natural resources (derivation
principle) and so on.
Unfortunately for the Ebiras and the Okuns, this is
what the Igalas have
been doing since the Sexteen years they have
been ruling us in line with
an Agenda they consider to be sacrosanct. I used
the word fake for
the so-called MOU referred to earlier in this
article because of the later
actions and utterances of the Igalas. Audu
transferred all the operating
equipment of Obangede School of Nursing in
Okehi L.G.A. to Igalaland. The
School of Nursing was established when the
Ebiras were in Kwara State and
it was second of its kind in the State then.
Many Igalas were alleged to have said that their
men, women, wives and
in-laws would continue to rule the Ebiras and the
Okuns in perpetuity.
Another demonstration of the existence of the
Igala Agenda was by Governor
Idris Wada when he was incapacitated for more
than three months in
hospital as a result of motor accident.
Impeachment was staring him in the
face in line with the constitutional provision. He
was said to have
discharged himself from his sick bed, used his
walking-stick to his
awaiting Vehicle to go quickly and enter his office
so that no non-Igala
person would sit in the Lugard Hall as acting
governor even for a day!
This is because if he had been impeached, the
then speaker of the State
House of Assembly, Honourable Abdullahi Bello,
an Ebira man would have
acted as governor for six months in line with the
constitutional provision
before election is conducted to elect a new
governor.
Audu was quoted to have argued that he wants
to be the governor of Kogi
State again for the third time instead of an Ebira
man because he would
not be able to control an Ebira governor in the
State. Who Controlled him
when he was governor of the State two times? In
what capacity does he want
to control the governor of Kogi State? Is he the
Chairman or Leader of the
party in the State?
In fact, no Chairman or Leader of any party
controls the governor of any
State today anymore. Yet, this is the same Audu
some person in Ebiraland
believe will hand over to him as governor of Kogi
State in 2019 if he wins
again.
The former Prime minister of Britain, Wilson
Churchill said: I will
not be the first Prime Minister to preside over the
liquidation of the
British Empires. I bet those Ebiras with blind
political ambition
and other doubting Thomas that no Igala man,
woman, wife or In-law will
relinquish power to another person other than
Igala in Kogi State.
The late Alhaji Abdulrahaman Okene as Secretary
of Interior, Alhaji Aliyu
attah as the Inspector General of Police and
retired General Salihu
Ibrahim as the Chief of Army Staff during former
president Ibrahim
Badamasi Babaginda regime were instrumental to
the creation of Kogi
State in 1991.
Assuming the Igalas are magnanimous enough to
appreciate the contribution
of the aforementioned people to hand over
political power to the Ebiras at
their own chosen time, are we supposed to wait
for that? When off course,
we can fight for it and collect it from them when
they are not more than
the Ebiras and the Okuns combined together. I
will return to the question
of population very soon.
Prince Abubakar Audu is not actually qualified to
be governor of Kogi
State again on legal and moral grounds. Having
taken the oath of office as
governor of Kogi State first on the 22nd January,
1992 and second time on
the 29th May, 1999, he is disqualified to vie for
the same position the
third time. As a result of the annulment of June
12 presidential election
by president Ibrahim Badamasi Babaginda and
the coming on board of the
late General Sani Abacha on the 18th of
November, 1993, Audu first
tenure/term was shortlived, having spent only one
year, ten months.
However, Prince Audu completed his second term
from the 29th of May, 1999
to the 29th May, 2003. This is where he is again
disqualified from seeking
the same office a third time as he has spent five
years, ten months
previously. If he contests again and win, all other
things being equal, he
will spend another four years, plus the previous 5
years, 10 months,
making 9 years, 10 months. This is above the
cumulative 8 years
recommended by the constitution and he swore
two times to protect and
preserve the content of the constitution both in its
letters and spirit.
His moral burden serves as a disqualification for
him. His indictment by
the EFCC in 2007 for siphoning a whooping eleven
billion naira from Kogi
State coffers led to his disqualification by INEC
during the April 14 2007
governorship election. INEC had used the EFCC
indictment and arrest and
uncompleted prosecution to disqualify him, even
when his then party, ANPP
cleared him. His case with the EFCC is still
pending today.
Since the emergence of Prince Abubakar Audu as
the flag bearer of APC in
the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi
State, there has been a lot
of disquiet among the Ebiras and Okuns. The
questions on the lips of the
people are:
1. Why APC with the slogan of Zero tolerance for
corruption allow the
likes of Audu to contest in an election under its
platform?
2. Why has EFCC been sleeping over this
celebrated case since 2007?
The answer to the first question we think is an
oversight on the part of
the leadership of APC then since the stand of the
party on the former
governor of Baylsa State, Timipre Sylva should
and must be the stand of
the party on other aspiring members of the party
like Audu and others.
People who lave cases with EFCC and other anti-
corruption agencies must
first clear their names before they can contest in
any election. This is
because what is good for the geese is good for
the ganda.
For the second question, we strongly believe that
for whatever reason the
EFCC has been sleeping over Audu case, it is a
slap by Audu on the
faces of all anti- graft agencies in general and
EFCC in particular for
coming out to contest again. The concerned
Ebiras and Okuns would want the
EFCC to reopen Audu case without further delay.
On the population of Kogi State, I would like to
argue that it is criminal
for the Igalas to have been cornering 70% of the
resources, Political
positions and appointments into the State Civil
Service for 16 years now
just because they are more in number than the
Ebiras or the Okuns. Some of
them say that it is because they are more than
the other two senatorial
districts combined together. This is a pathological
lie. No one senatorial
district has more people than the other two in any
State in Nigeria. There
are 3 senators from each State irrespective of the
population. Everything
cannot be based on population. Ditto for
governors: One State, one
governors, One State, One Minister. That is why
the two biggest States of
Kano and Lagos with 44 L.G.A and with over 9
million people and 20
L.G.A with over 9 million people respectively have
the same number of
3 senators and one governor with the two
smallest State of Bayelsa and
Nasarawa with 8
L.G.A and 13 L.G.A. and with less than 2 million
people each
respectively.
According to the 2006 Census final results, the
population of the Ebiras
and the Okuns combined together are 355,755
more than that of the Igalas

PER CENTAGE
1. Kogi Central 28%
2. Kogi East 45%
3. Kogi West – 27%
From this data, the Ebiras and the Okuns are 355,
755 people more than the
Igalas. Yet, these people are usually given about
30% to share while the
Igalas cart away 70% of whatever is available to
share in Kogi State for
the past 16 years now! This population figure
must have changed
substantially in favour of the Ebiras and the
Okuns in the past 9 years
now. While the Igalas are almost 50-50 per cent
muslims and Christians and
the Muslims there are permitted by their religion
to marry more than one
wife thereby giving births to more children than
their Christian brothers,
the Ebiras and the Okuns are between 70 to 80
per cent Muslims and that
means more population in those two senatorial
districts than the other one
in the past 9 years.
Audu Stated that he wants to be the next
governor of Kogi State because
most of the people jostling for the position are
inexperienced and are
mostly school certificate holders! Why all this
hocus pocus by Audu and
some Ebiras are allowing themselves to be
deceived by him?
Whoever he had in mind cannot include senator
Nurudeen Usman Abatemi,
Adinoyi Onukaba Ojo, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, not to
talk of our highly
respected 8 years Deputy Governor of Kogi State,
Chief Philip Salawu.
Abubakar Audu was not near Chief Philip Salawu
in qualifications when he
first ruled Kogi State. Chief Philip Salawu is a
qualified and
internationally acclaimed Accountant par
excellence. He was for 8 years
Deputy Governor to Alhaji Idris Ibrahim who is a
carpenter cum hotelier.
His vast wealth of experience in accounting which
he brought to bear on
the management of financial and human Capital
resources saved Ibrahim
Idris administration from insolvency. What we are
witnessing today in
Kogi State under Captain Idris Wada
administration is result of the
lack of the likes of Chief Philip Salawu in a high-
ranking position at the
Government House in Lokoja.
Accountants as governors and other forms of
Chief Executives are known
everywhere to be prudent Managers of both
financial and human resources.
Chief Philip Salawu is one of the most loyal,
hardworking, dynamic and
colourful Deputy Governors in Nigeria. The
research I carried out on such
loyal Deputy Governors revealed that, if they are
given opportunity as
governor, they are high achievers. Examples
include: Babatunde Fashola of
Lagos State, present Governor of Kano State, Dr.
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje
and Alhaji Abdulrahaman Shagari, former Deputy
Governor of Sokoto if he
had been given the ticket by the PDP to contest
in Sokoto State and won.
Today in Kogi Central and Kogi West, Chief Philip
Salawu is our only
saving grace. We must thank God he is
contesting as Governorship Candidate
in Kogi State under the Labour Party.
Unless the Ebiras are under curse by the Yoruba
elders of Ilorin, as some
people believe when the late Alhaji Adamu Attah
was Governor of Kwara
State and we Manhandled them in their very
home, We must rally round Chief
Philip Salawu to collect back this position which
God gave us during
president Babaginda regime and we gave it to the
Igalas to enjoy first
because we wrongly thought that they are like us.
Even if we are under curse, the effect of that
curse can be neutralized
with our unity the way those elders sat down
together, united and cursed
us.
This now leads me to talk about the Ebira
National Dialogue Conference of
20th June, 2015. EPA National President, Dr.
Abdulrahaman Musa Adeiza
charged the participants thus:
Arising from this meeting, I expect this message
to be taken to the
hamlets, cottages, villages and towns in the
senatorial district.
This part of his speech gives me the copy right to
quote him copiously in
this article. Dr. Adeiza said: Our physical
boundaries are being
daily challenged on all fronts by our, More
resolute and united neigbours;
Our identity is gradually being attenuated through
a well-designed and
heavily- funded programmes of the ever
domineering, manipulative and
insatiable greed of our partners in the State
enterprise. Dr. Adeiza
continued: While not absolving the collective
failure of our
Leadership for this failure, the biggest culpability
for these breakdown
of our society should be laid squarely at the
doorstep of the successive
regimes of Kogi State since its creation. They
have employed
marginalization in various forms to deny us a
right to humane
existence.
This oppression and suppression must come to
an end henceforth.
Ebiras have two cards to play viz; remain in
slavish obeisance to our
external tormentors and volunteer our historic
liberty or jettison all the
cleavages that has presented us as weaklings to
the world, and close our
fingers into a fist to confront our enemies who
now see us as less humans
and as a pliable objects that could be
manipulated to suit their pleasure.
The opportunity of the forthcoming governship
election presents a
veritable space for us to ventilate our anger by
uniting with one voice,
one choice, one vote to rescue the drowning
image of our forebears. It is
a war that calls for brains and unity and not
brawns. We must all rise to
denounce any financial inducements.
The present and future generation will hold our
leaders, including my
humble self-responsible for our failure to deliver
victory to our people.
The numerical statistics of voting strength is on
our side. We must be
united behind any candidate that will ensure
power shift and rescue us
from internal colonization.
Where are those Ebira important personalities
that attended the Ebira
National Dialogue Conference? What are they
doing now? Where are Alhaji
Usman Enesi Bello and Dr. Abdul Aziz Farouk?
They both struggled with the
late A.T.Ahmed in Ebiraland to become the
governor of Kogi State. Where
are they now?
Where is Mohammed Ohiare who is representing
Kogi Central as our Senator
for the second time now? He nearly defected the
present Governor of Kogi
State in 2011 but later fell by the way side due to
the Igala Agenda.
Where is he now? Where is Adayi Ademoh
Ovurevu Isah? He should step
forward to join in this fight.
The only Ebira present Philanthropist I know, that
A.A. Oil is helping
people financially irrespective of tribes or religions
should kingly put
his weight behind this fight by helping individuals
and groups involved in
this fight. A.A Oil will never lack in life as givers
never lack.
Ebira people should emulate the late Ahmadu
Bello and A.T. Ahmed who did
not differentiate between Muslims and Christians
as far as you are a
northerner. Ahmadu Bello appointed Professor
Ishaya Audu as the pioneer
Vice- Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University. He
also appointed the late
George Uru Ohikere as his personal Secretary and
entrusted him with
certain sensitive assignments.
He also appointed George Uru Ohikere as Minister
of works. The late A.T.
Ahmed gave the position of Deputy Governor of
Kogi State given to appease
him to his loyal, trusted and ever reliable ally,
Chief Philip Salawu.
This distinguished son of the soil represented the
Ebiras in that position
for 8 years without any blemish.
Ebiras should emulate our Igala brothers and
Sisters. Dr. Alex Kadri was
more popular than Audu but when the late A.T.
Ahmed emerged in Ebiraland,
he stepped down for Audu who could match A.T.
Ahmed financially and
otherwise. Ebiras rallied round Pius Lasisi to
defeat Senator Isah Abonyi
Obaro because of certain Ebira Agenda then.
Here we are again with another Agenda of power
shift this time around.
The Ebiras should do it again by rallying round
Chief Philip Salawu in
order for us to also realize our own Agenda.

Webmasters / Urgent Help On Wordpress Post by Jetland(m): 10:16am On Jul 17, 2015 |
Please webmasters in the house, am having a real time problem with my wordpress post. Previously i downloaded a wordpress theme that I am using locally on my computer with the intension of moving the website from my local computer to live server when am done with adequate configuration with it. Not only that; because I like the look of the theme, am thinking of buying the theme from the developer as time goes on. But the major hectic moment am passing through now is that, whenever I post any content to the theme on my local computer without am image embedded with the post, it displays something like the below screen short. I know that, that is how the developer built the themes with feature image, probably with java script or PHP. Here comes my questions: Since the problem is from the themes (how the developed built it), how can I remove the script from the theme so that whenever I post any post without an image attached to it won’t display such an empty image? Is it possible to be removed? Thanks for your help in advance.
