TheophilusA:
There are indications that Olusola Olumoroti who has been tipped by the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the running mate to Yahaya Bello may have rejected the offer. This is following protests in Ekinrin Adde, the home town of Hon. James Faleke, running mate to the late Prince Abubakar Audu during the November 21 election. Going by reports, Olumoroti reportedly turned down the offer and it may not be unconnected with his loyalty to the Audu/Faleke ticket.



More details later....

The peaceful protest embarked upon on Tuesday by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, against the continued incarceration of Mr. Nnamdi Kalu the Radio Biafra Director, turned bloody at about 1.30 am early hours of Wednesday, after an alleged encounter by the Joint Military Taskforce comprising, Army, Navy, Police and Civil Defense, who clashed at Niger Bridge Head with some members of the IPOB who vowed to continue their blockage of the bridge for three days until Kanu is released.
The encounter left about nine people dead, five at Niger Bridge Head, three at Obodoukwu Road, a Suya meat seller said to have been hit by stray bullet who died instantly.
Biafra-protester
Miscreants on hearing that some people have been shot dead by the joint Military taskforce went into another protest, marched to the Central mosque at near Onitsha Main Market and set it, a Hilux Pick Up van with federal Government number was also burnt when the Joint Military Taskforce held motorist and commuters hostage at Upper Iweka with sporadic shooting that has never been witnessed before in Onitsha.
The protesting IPOB members had blocked the Niger Bridge early Tuesday morning there by grounded vehicular movement in and outside Onitsha, and people who knew alternative through the river Niger boarded Flying and Speed boat through Marine Police station to cross in and out of Onitsha to Asaba, but incidentally the protest was aggravated with Wednesday early hours shooting to death of five IPOB members seen at about .30 am observing their three days protest at the Niger Bridge Head agaisng the continued detention of their leader, Mr. Kanu.
As at the time filing this report all the markets in Onitsha have been shut down around 12.30 pm, as millions of traders in all the markets in Onitsha and its environs were seen tscampering for safety and rekking to their homes, looking tired and worried, as gun shut were sporadically shot almost every corner in Onitsha.
The protest had their peaceful protest on Tuesday without any casualty but the situation was aggravated when the Joint Military Taskforce who could not disperse them on Tuesday invaded the Niger Bridge at about 1.30 am and opened fire on the thousands of the IPOB members who refused to leave the Niger Bridge, the entry to South East, killing six people including the Suya seller said to have been hit by stray bullet.
The alleged killing of the IPOB members was said to have sparked off another protest by IPOB members who were joined by MASSOB members who made born fires along Onitsha Owerri Road and Onitsha Enugu Express way, forcing motorists coming in and out of Onitsha from both Enugu, Asaba, Owerri difficult to enter or exit.
One of our reporters who went to Oba for an assignment was trapped at Oba Junction, where had to pay N3,000 from Oba Junction to Tazan junction Onitsha, as over 2000 vehicles coming into Onitsha were seen parked at the Oba junction and refused to come into Onitsha.

According to a few a reader who have sent in email, a lion escaped from the Jos Wild Life Park while it was being fed at about 8am today Wednesday December 2nd. The lion slipped through the entrance which was left ajar by the park keeper who wanted to feed it. It is believed that the lion is still within the premises of the park however the management of the park fears it may enter into town as the park it's not fenced. Efforts are on the recapture it. Residents of the town have been asked to be very vigilant.

Another reader said the escaped lion is roaming around Eastern bye pass. Please careful out there!

As an Ebira man, i'm happy that we are on the verge of producing a governor after 16 years into the fourth republic. But, as an upright man, i believe the decision as to whom should succeed Audu, should have been left for the supreme court to make, since both the constitution and the electoral Act never envisaged this situation. Therefore, Inec and the AGF shouldn't have reached a decision on their own.

Even as a muslim, I have never hidden my love for the Papal. His simplicity is awesome. He is my 2015 man of the year. He has worked harder to promote peaceful coexistence than any world leader alive. God bless Papal.

The federal executive council (FEC) meeting, which used to hold weekly since 1999, will now take place once in two weeks, TheCable can report.

President Muhammadu Buhari has decided that meeting every Wednesday is surplus to requirement, a senior government official told TheCable.

“And FEC will no longer be all about awarding contracts but a serious discussion of policy issues and appraisal of ministerial performance,” the official said.

FEC has been held just once since the appointment of ministers, with the only meeting taking place on November 11 — the day they were inaugurated.

There was no meeting on November 18, and Buhari was in Ikenne, Ogun state, for the burial of HID Awolowo on November 25.

Buhari will not be in the country on December 2 because of his international commitments.

It is still not clear when the next meeting will hold.

“The president believes once he had given you a job, you have to deliver. He was very painstaking in picking the ministers and he is convinced he has picked a very good team, so it is now left for them to deliver the goods with minimal supervision,” the official said.

“FEC meetings will now be for brainstorming on policies and performance review, not just contracts.”

In the past, decisions on such matters as purchase of cooking stoves and waste bins were discussed at FEC and announced to the world by ministers at media briefings after the meetings.

The fraudulent judgment of the Appeal Court in Makurdi removing former Senate President David Mark as Senator representing Benue South Senatorial District was widely celebrated on Saturday by the so called heavy weight politicians across Tiv land.

Mark is considered the nemesis of Tiv politics as the only politician that helps the Idoma people survive the oppression of the Tiv people in Benue State.

Hundreds of Tiv people who attended the burial of Ter Mbakor in Wannune on Saturday abandoned the funeral rites to dance to victory songs over the fraud perpetrated by external influenced directionless judiciary.

Mark’s opponent, Daniel Onjeh, a former expelled student leader from Federal University of Technology in Minna is being sponsored by the former Benue State Governor, Dr George Akume, to bring down David Mark at all means, one will be begging to wonder is it because of the

* the role he played in the emergence of Saraki as the senate president?
*or David mark effective representation of his minority kingdom a head of the majority folks?
* or the high number of people in Zone c that he has facilitated their employment at the federal level?
*or the scholarship scheme he has empowering Zone c students with?
*or his political ideology?

that make some people to hate him so much? Turning burial to jubilation ground.

We have conveniently diverted the anger and frustration from the laxity of our own legislators and channeled it at the pragmatism of David Mark.

Truth is, both senators from my senatorial zone of birth and residence combined can't match Mark's zealous, pragmatic and empowering spirit.

Our legislators should matter of urgency stop playing local politics in Tiv land, and look inward to project a way forward of Tiv kingdom in National affairs. we are seriously lacking behind against our brothers, The Idomas.

Shut up there....wat do you mean state belonging to. Even apart. From the state capital lokoja which is owned by non igalas that is more developed..the next most developed town is okene - owned by ebiras...waat do u mean every good thing is in igala land...-itss wrong na....even igala land still suffer. The same thing other part suffer...

As for igalas ruling...I don't. Support another igala man to rule again let ebira. Rule....i. Will be happy but not a okun person....how can faleke who is a speaker in lagos state come n rule a state where he has not been part of....

I am igala by origin but lived in lagos....you guys should learn more bout the igala tribe before u start sayin nonsense

dapdoman:
See cover up..that was the Governor that wanted to merge Tasued with OOU back then,,,the management as well as the students resisted it vehemently then(some of the students also lost their lives in an accident while on the way to Abeokuta to protest to the Governor at oke mosan)
Now..he has realised that it is the pioneer university of education in Nigeria.I am always wondering at some of his actions,,,what he just did as others rightly said,is not new,he layed off some workers employed by Gbenga Daniel in 2011 as Daniel was about leaving.He promised to reabsorb them...we are still waiting,,,only connected ones were lucky to have their job back...He promised to employ 10000 ...we are still waiting,,,

chinchum:
the election is a waste, only 32,785 pvcs in the hands of voters for a 41,300 margin lead. If APC does not have a single vote on election day, and all 32,785 voters come out to vote PDP, APC wins.

An injustice has been meted out on the dead candidate running mate, i can bet his lawyers are doing their underground work now

Erukumakanaki:
can't he just reduce it to N18,000 pls. . .

divinehand2003:
Lol, I just came across this map showing the provinces of Biafra. Check it out NL and air your views about it.

Otenestbestyaho:
Here in benue, we are regretting voting apc into power, the governor(Samuel Ortom) can no longer pay minimum wage of 18000 naira, all state owned high institutions are on strike, the governor boldly said in his own wards "any state workers that is not ready to accept the new development should stay @ home and be sacked".

Samuel Ortom of APC has borrowed 60Billion(10B,15B,5B,28B bailout and now 12B) naira since may 29, 20015 (six months) and nothing on ground even salaries have not been paid. For your information, the governor no longer pays bailout (salary arrears).

Benue state is in perpetual bondage and slavery, a state whose internal generated revenue is not up to one billion naira is collecting huge debt she can not pay in the next 50 years. 60 billion borrowed in 6 months with no project( not evening sinking a bore hole) going on is scaring and dengerous. One wonders where the money is going.

People protested masssively but am amazed that no media outlet report such protest
If you will ask me, I will reply: CHANGE HAS COME!!!

If you look @ ortom economic blue print you will laugh to the highest heaven, @ a point he said he will build 40000 hausing unit in eTach local govt area in the next 10years, in another paragraph, he said he will construct a dam along the trough of river benue and a river pot that has a refinary, knowing fully well that, this is not possible even in the next world. The river has not even been dredged.

It only when there's a news about GEJ, the zombies realizes PDP destroyed Nigeria for 16 years. But when it's about obj, they beggin to do their job(masturbate) forgetting that obj wasted 8years. Bastards.

Since Abubakar audu died, all what the slaves/zombies are saying is RIP. None of them is talking about the N11 billion he stole from kogi treasury. But when they see a news about deziani Allison madueke, they jump on it and starts spewing thrash. Useless hypocrites
