you dey mind yoruba's Lagos-ibadan express way junk journalism.telling us lie that yoruba were the only people in nigeria who felt white are not superior to them but in reality they are the first tribe who willingly allow white people to come and rule over them when british declared lagos british protectorate and appointed dosunmu as the new oba without resistance from yoruba.there are no anti-colonial movement in yoruba unlike what we have in igbo land as in Aro-British war. In fact yoruba were the first people to capitulate to foreign rule without putting up a fight,from dahomey women warriors to Arab Fulani conquest,Benin(Ado)domination of Eko and british colonialism.yoruba are used to servitude that's why they are afraid to be on their own,hence the hatred they show any time Biafra or Nnamdi kanu is mentioned.Yoruba history is one of servitude and subjugation,these lies are not selling, we are good students of history.so afonja stop distorting history.self-determination is not among yoruba's cultural values.

Flashmove:
As a result the parallel market exchange rate dropped from N391 per dollar to N389 per dollar. Confirming this to Vanguard, President, Association of Bureaux De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), Alhaji Gwadabe said that BDCs have already paid to purchase another $20,000 from the CBN which would be delivered today, expressing optimism that the supply will further enhance the appreciation of the naira against the dollar.

Meanwhile, the CBN said that banks and other authorized dealers have again failed to fully subscribe to the $150 million it offered yesterday. It stated that the dealers could only pick the sum of $43.5 million, which represents 29 per cent of the $150 million offered for subscription in the wholesale segment of the foreign exchange market.

Confirming this development, the apex Bank’s spokesman, Isaac Okorafor, reaffirmed the Bank’s position to sustain the intervention with a view to making foreign exchange available for all genuine transactions eligible for foreign exchange through the CBN window.

Mr. Okorafor also allayed the fear over the dwindling subscription by authorized dealers noting that the development merely goes to confirm the extent of liquidity in the foreign exchange market and the determination of the CBN to sustain the intervention aimed at ensuring stability in the market.

Operatives of the Nigeria Drugs and Law Enforcement Agency
(NDLEA) yesterday intercepted a suspected police van loaded
with over 700 tonnes of India hemp worth millions of naira in
Kano.
The operatives also tracked and detained a long truck
conveying sacks of dry fish stocked with cannabis.Conducting
journalists round the confiscated illicit drugs yesterday at the
state command of the agency, commander of the NDLEA in
Kano, Hamza Umar, revealed that two suspects, including the
driver were arrested in police uniforms.
According to Hamza, the suspects were caught in a brand new
Toyota Hilux masked with security siren and a private plate
number, Pilot 1. Hamza hinted that the vehicle, which
originated from Esuba, Edo State, was heading to Gezuwa in
Yobe State, but was arrested following an intelligence report.
Atfer thorough investigation, the suspects according to NDLEA
boss were discovered to have impersonated the police force to
scale through security search. “Our men intercepted the
vehicle, which was typical of security utility vehicles. The two
suspects arrested were found in police uniforms but after
interrogation, they confessed the uniforms were gotten to
disguise as policemen to evade search at police checkpoint.
“I am sure if anybody sees them in this vehicle and the
security uniform, nobody will dare to stop them. But from
intelligence gathering, we were able to detect and arrest
them. Investigation is still ongoing to unravel the sponsors of
the drug suspects,” Hamza explained.
Although journalists were barred from unmasking the
identities of the suspects, one of the suspects confessed that
he got the police uniform from a serving police officer in Port
Harcourt. “We use to carry the Indian helm once every month
from Edo to Yobe. The last trip I went, they paid me N150,000
and this tour I was promised to paid N200,000,” he confessed.
The NDLEA boss further told newsmen that the truck carrying
Ebonyi State government vehicle document with plate
number NKE41LG, was loaded with 64kg of cannabis stocked
into bags of dry fish.
He explained that the truck was coming from Ebonyi and was
heading to Libiya, adding that four suspects, including the
principal suspect, had been arrested.He noted the command
in the last four months had intercepted 1123.284kg of
cannabis sativa, 3,307.903kg psychotropic substance and 20
grammes of cocaine.

The greatest challenge that might make it difficult for President Muhammadu Buhari to contest the 2019 election in 2019 is the physically demanding and grueling campaign process.

So, if he decides not to run, who are the major contenders that have a realistic chance of becoming President in 2019 in your opinion?

none as far as im concerned

This unavoidable deaths was caused by negligence from PHCN. Power that was meant to power homes and factories is channelled to cause massive death and injuries.

I hope some persons will be held responsible and football centres should be in a secure place and not make shift structures we have all over the country.

I sympathise with their families too

trying to intimidate America

A shocking North Korean video shows a nuclear bomb appearing to strike an American city, before a huge fiery mushroom cloud soars into the sky.

The propaganda video, released by the state, includes frames of the American flag overlapped with an image of a cemetery.

The World War III simulation, featuring the Korean State Merited Chorus, was released as tensions continued to rise between Kim Jong-un’s communist republic and the United States of America.

The bomb shown in the video is believed to be an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.

A new song released by the choir centres around the country’s missiles and includes lyrics such as ‘our proud Hwasong rocket blasts off’ and ‘it flies as quickly as a flash of lightening to challenge imperialism,’ The Mirror reports.

Official sources from South Korea and the US confirmed North Korea had attempted to launch a missile on Sunday, but had failed.

The launch attempt followed celebrations for the ‘Day of the Sun’ festival, which marked the birthday of the nation’s founder and Kim’s late grandfather, Kim Il-Sung.
