Anambra State has announced that a bunker used by pro-Biafran secessionist leader Chukwuemeka Ojukwu during the civil war in the 1960s will be turned into a tourist site.
Caves and a waterfalls in the state would also be turned into major tourist sites.
“These tourist centres will receive immediate attention with the construction of access roads to them as well as concrete footpaths that will lead into the bowels of the caves to make them easily accessible,” a spokesman for state governor Willie Obiano said.
The move is seen as an attempt to boost employment and income in a region where there is much poverty. Late Ojukwu declared the formation of the breakaway state of Biafra in 1967, triggering a civil war in which more than one million people died. He remains popular among many people in the south-east, who complain of economic and political marginalisation. https://www.pressnewsng.com.ng/2018/04/late-biafran-leader-ojukwus-bunker-to.html?m=0
nice one from you, Reno omokri. thanks for your reply. at least the south south people has voice. our voices will be heard at the poll. the voice of God is the voice of the voiceless. clueless buhari will be defeated and rejected at the poll.
I am just laughing at all those people saying get your PVC. One of the greatest misconceptions about the 2015 election is the mistaken belief that voters removed Jonathan.
The power brokers removed Jonathan. He didn't have the influence or cojones to fight them and he had to make way.
Buhari, on the other hand, has been preparing for the 2019 election since 2015. Putting his trusted acolytes in every important position, taking full control of the security apparatus and allowing fear and insecurity prevail in areas of the north that the opposition would have gotten are some of the plays Buhari has carried out and he will win the 2019 election, by HOOK or CROOK.
If elections were important, they would have been banned.
he will never win any election in 2019. infact he's even destroying himself and the party more. you think the electorates are fools. Nigerians are not fools OK.
RealGucci: another mugagbe loading. thr will be serious bloodshed 2019
there will never be bloodshed in 2019, it's we that we should come out and vote the clueless buhari our of power. he's just making the leading opposition to come back by his actions. come out enmassed and monitor your votes.
The are just pushing him to early shameful defeat by the opposition party. conduct both online polls and offline poll today, you will see that pmb and his past are alp defeated. Nigerians are not ready to settle for the most clueless president in the Nigeria history. you can't eat your cake and have it. pmb, you will be disgrace at the poll.
both are doing it. men do it the most. Linda ikeji is the one paying up the bills, so no doubt. if you remember very she bought an expensive jeep to her younger sister last month. so it's very clear that Linda ikeji is the one footing the bills in the family.
Nigeria's current wage bill is around N150b at 18k minimum wage. That's N1.8 trillion. You don't have to be Terrence Tao to know that an increase of the minimum wage to N100k will increase our monthly wage bill by at least 50%. That's around N2.7 trillion.
The amount of money Buhari "pledged" to release for capital budgets in 2018 is N1.3 trillion. That's barely half of the wage bill that m*ron wants to foot.
The same Sowore said and I quote “There is no corruption in Nigeria anymore because there is nothing else to steal and loot." That was last year.
This is a propagandist and scammer who has been hobnobbing and blackmailing politicians in all divides for money and media reach. He has his place in the media to expose the inanities in any administration, but he has no business being the C-in-C.
Sowore is a despicable character that does not deserve to be anywhere near Aso Rock. It's nothing personal. That's just a statement of fact.
-Lord
I totally disagree with you here. sowore is an international journalist that speaks the truth to the public. he exposed the looted public office olders. not only that, he exposed the shady deals of politicians to the world. I really appreciate the work of Sahara reporters boss and premium times newspaper boss. first and foremost, our annual budget are very low. I hope you know that the funds for the senators only is good to bail out some workers in the state not to talk of the jumbo pay and allowances. you didn't talk about the areas where huge corruption are been perpetrated in this clueless government. sowore keep exposing them by the day and you are here saying another thing entirely. let me tell you here that sowore react to the medial trial and propaganda of Efcc last year cos' of the huge funds they are collecting from the looters. each and everyone react to the collection of funds that's been circulated by the Efcc. now you are saying things differently please.
LordAdam16: Silly politician using his church as a campaign ground!
Nigerians, there is NO MESSIAH!
Judge each aspirant by their pedigree; their explanation on how they'd tackle the challenges we face; and the concrete targets they expect to meet within 4 years. Ignore empty, irrational, baseless promises.
For example, do not listen to any id*ot that says he'd fight corruption to a standstill. Rather, ask what kind of corruption he'd be able to address, what sectors it'd affect, what tools and resources he'd use, and the timeline he expects to make a headway. In a similar vein, trash any id*ot who says he'd give you uninterrupted power supply within four years. Instead, he should be made to explain how many megawatts he'd be able to add to the national grid, how much it'd cost and where he'd source the money from, and how long it'd take.
These are just two examples. But you get the idea.
The next president will be corrupt, he'd get elected using corrupt money, and he wouldn't solve all our problems in 4 years. However, he should be able to make substantial progress. And that should be the basis for choosing a candidate--Who would make the most impact and drive huge progress?
If you guys like, vote for another charlatan like the current dullard who'd promise 100k minimum wage (like the clown Sowore is doing already), uninterrupted power supply, unemployment benefits, et cetera... You would be sorely disappointed.
-Lord
you are just splitting trash here. let us give sowore chance to rule this nation. at least a vibrant youth is coming out to contest for top elective position. he's now doing town hall meeting across the nation. stop beefing OK. #100k minimum wage is very reliable. more jobs will be created too.

you are very right with your point here. I think if the government is very serious about curbing crime in the society, they should follow your template and amend it.
definitely bokoharam terrorists is now adding arm robbery to their work. I pray for God's shield for everyone. offa robbery attack shed innocent blood. Infact that is the largest robbery attack in kwara state.
There's a church flier circulating online from the popular church Faith Tabernacle. The flier is advertising a program titled " Miracle Jobs Banquet" but Wale Gates and OAP Freeze seem to have a problem with this and they are criticizing the church for it. Below is what both men think about the program. https://www.pressnewsng.com.ng/2018/04/freeze-and-wale-gates-criticize-faith.html?m=0
MMA fighter Conor McGregor has been charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief after he launched an attack on a bus full of rival fighters. The attack took place at a UFC press event in Brooklyn on Thursday, the New York Police Department has said. The 29-year-old, who became the first UFC fighter to hold two world titles simultaneously, can be seen in a video footage as he entered with his entourage, then picked up a pushcart and hurled it at his rivals' bus after UFC 223 media day at Barclays Center in New York City. The attack left two fighters injured. UFC lightweight Michael Chiesa suffered a laceration to his face and, as a result, was forced to pull from Saturday's UFC 223. Flyweight Ray Borg suffered "multiple cornea abrasions" and will also not be taking part in his fight against Brandon Moreno. Connor McGregor was scheduled to lose his UFC lightweight belt on Saturday to the winner of the title bout between Max Holloway and Khabib Nurmagomedov, the latter of whom appeared to be the target of McGregor's attack. The Irishman turned himself in to police on Thursday evening shortly after the attack. "He's been charged with assault, three counts of assault, and one count of criminal mischief," Thomas Antonetti of the NYPD said today. "He's still in custody, still at the police precinct until he's removed to court this morning." He added that 25-year-old Cian Cowley, also a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, from Hyde Park, Dalkey, has been charged with assault. Watch the video of the assault below.
General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles ministries (MFM), Daniel Olukoya, says satanic witchcraft is behind the various bloodshed and massive attacks witnesed in different parts of the country.
The clergyman stated this while preaching at the church’s monthly “Power Must Change Hands” meeting held at the Prayer City, Ogun state , today April 7th.
“Anywhere you see any bloodshed or massive death of people it is not terrorism but the work of satanic witchcraft. An evil force is the one behind all those bloodshed. Do you expect a sane human being to just slaughter another human being who is still alive when he will even think twice when killing a hen or cow?
Nigerians need to wake up from their slumber as there is a massive resurgence of witchcraft all over the world. Nigeria is in the era of the great wrath where so many mysterious things have occurred; I mean unexplainable sexual perversion, unavoidable terrorism, emergence of kidnappers who are hungry for blood and terrible accidents. I urge all Nigerians to watch and pray and be vigilant as we are in the end time. So many things are happening'' he said.
