PoliticsBiafra: South-East Needs One More State - Orji Uzor Kalu by Mrl1(op): 9:10am On Sep 17, 2017
Former Abia State governor, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, has revealed what will end the needless agitations in the south eastern part of the country.

According to Kalu, creation of an additional state in the South-east zone, would put it at par with the other zones in the country.

Kalu made this submission when he spoke with newsmen during annual youth summit of Junior Chamber International, Ikoyi, hosted by the Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation at Camp Neya, his country home in Igbere, Bende LGA.

He said the decision of the government to proscribe the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) remained the only option that would guarantee stability which he said the country needs desperately at a time like this .
“I think a lot of hate speech had engulfed the country, and the matter escalated because the IPOB leader refused to abide by the terms of his bail. If he had agreed, and probably appealed against the conditions, the situation wouldn’t have gotten to this point. When two people are fighting and the court says, don’t fight, you obey the court. The court decision was not a personal decision of Justice Binta Nyako but the decision of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Kalu explained.

“Some of you know what Ojukwu said here when he was alive, one day it will be made public. If we say we are marginalised, everyone is marginalised. We are marginalised because our people refuse to work. As soon as one becomes a governor or minister he buys houses in Ikoyi and abroad and the people will celebrate him.

“Remember when I was governor, the army and police used to do joint patrol. We should not box ourselves into a corner because my conscience will not allow me to do what is evil,” he said.

“The demography of this country shows that if you go to Kontagora, after the aborigines the next is the Igbo. The same with Jos, Kano, the West, name it, so we need the peace and unity of the country more than anyone else,” he said.

The former governor and chieftain of APC, however, appealed to the Federal Government to take the issue of restructuring seriously, saying, “We have gone past going to Abuja to share money every month.”

He pleaded with the federal government to go back to the 2014 confab report, “The South East zone should have one more state,” Kalu said, lamenting that rather than discuss the interest of the zone, “some Igbo leaders go to the president with the CV of their wives and children, but I go to him to tell him the problem of the people.”

“We need peace everywhere, we condemn hate speeches,” Kalu said.

PoliticsHow Nigeria’s Entire Savings Vanished Under Jonathan – Ex-minister, Tony Momoh by Mrl1(op): 8:59am On Sep 17, 2017
Elder statesman and former Minister of Information, Prince Tony Momoh, has blamed the current economic crisis in the nation on past administration’s failure to save for the future.
Momoh made this observation on Saturday at the 24th convocation ceremony of the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
He said, “I have seen a lot of money taken away by the past administration and because of this, the present administration is trying to revive the economy.
“There is no money to establish industries to absorb them. Our youths are now roaming the streets. And when they do, we are not safe. We must engage the youth and for we to overcome all these challenges, our institution of learnings must incorporate entrepreneurial and technical courses in their curriculum”, he said.
“The youth in Nigeria today, they lack understanding, for instance, when the last administration was there, we have to save money for the rainy day but we failed to do so. We ate the future in the present. Now you know, the present is today but yesterday, was the present. So yesterday, looking at today, we are looking at the future. All of you here, all your entitlements, you sat down and ate it.
“All of you who were growing up, what we should have done to empower you, we did not do. Today, you are deprived. Obasanjo left money, Yar’ Adua left money and Jonathan inherited the money but unfortunately by the time he left, we have eaten the money and not Jonathan that ate the money but people ate the money,” he said.

Politics1 Officer Killed, 32 IPOB Members Arrested, 2 Police Vans Burnt In Rivers State by Mrl1(op): 6:43pm On Sep 13, 2017
Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Zaki Ahmed says thirty-two suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra have been arrested.
CP Zaki said the thirty-two were among those who allegedly caused mayhem at Oyigbo Local Government Area of the state
.

He also confirmed the killing of one police officer, adding that many others sustained injuries.
.

Briefing newsmen at the Command’s Headquarters in Moscow road in Port Harcourt, the Commissioner of Police, however, said normalcy has since been restored in Oyigbo just as he vowed that all those involved in the violent attack will be made to face the wrath of the law.
CP Ahmed also dismissed reports that a mosque was touched during the attack, adding that there is no justification to the actions of the pro-Biafran agitators
.

According to him, “The said group who had no justification for their action also attacked a Police van from Training School Nonwa enroute Port Harcourt International Airport and burnt the Police van to ashes
.

“The driver Inspr. Emaikwu Ochochi was badly injured and is now on admission. They also carted away one AK 47 riffle with sixty rounds of live Ammunition, and one Berretta Pistol with 8 rounds of live Ammunition.
“At the end of their rampage, many vehicles were damaged and stores burnt.
“The timely response of the Police restored normalcy and brought the situation under control as I made adequate deployment to arrest the situation. The mob were dispersed with minimum force thereby restoring law and order. At the end of which 23 IPOB members were arrested.
.

“However, the Command was awaken to yet another sad incident today at about 0010hrs, where the same dare devil IPOB members regrouped and launched a surprise attack on the Mobile Policemen stationed at Oyigbo junction, killing a Police Sergeant identified as Sgt. Steven Daniel attached to 19 PMF, injuring two and set a patrol vehicle ablaze as a result of which a Sterling SMG Riffle belonging to the deceased Sgt. was taken by the hoodlums.
“They were however repelled by the Police, where about 9 of them were arrested, bringing the total number of suspects arrested to 32. They are helping us in Investigation and will be due in Court as soon as our Investigation is concluded.”

CrimeWike Accuses Mr Akin, SARS Commander, Being Behind The Kidnappings In Rivers by Mrl1(op): 6:06pm On Sep 13, 2017
As the Number of kidnapping increases in rivers state.
.
Wike alleged that commander of SARS in the state, Mr Akin Fakorede, and some of his men had been indicted by an official police signal. He said the signal also showed that the operatives are responsible for many deadly robberies across the state.
.
He governor spoke when he addressed journalists on Wednesday, September 13, at the Government House Port Harcourt.
.
He further said the alleged criminal activities of Mr Fakorede were uncovered by the Inspector General of Police X Squad, Abuja, deployed to the state.
.
He said the squad had busted the attempted kidnap of one Mr Azumana Ifeanyi on September 11, 2017 at the GRA, Port Harcourt.
.
He revealed the official police signal as titled Police Wireless Message with reference number DT0: 121030/09/2017 -INGENPOL-X-FHQ ABUJA TO-INGENPOL SEC ABUJA.
Wike said the signal noted that the squad received a distress call on the kidnap of Mr Ifeanyi and immediately swung into action.
He further alleged that the signal said they met the three SARS operatives robbing and a gun duel ensued.
The operatives had taken Mr Ifeanyi to a Fidelity Bank ATM where they compelled him to withdraw N500,000 as ransom, he quoted the signal as saying, adding that one of the SARS operatives was killed, while Inspector Justice Nyeche, who led the IGP team, was injured.
“Most of the kidnappings and armed robberies taking place in this state are done by men of SARS. They use exhibit vehicles to operate.
“As the chief security officer of the state, you complain, but they choose to play politics with crime.
“They fight crime in some state, but they refuse to fight crime in Rivers state. We are done with the elections, but they are using SARS to create insecurity in the state.
“As I speak with you, they will deny. But the SARS operative who was killed was among those who raided the Rivers East Senatorial District Collation Centre. This man can be identified in the video as one of those who invaded the collation centre with Fakorede,”Wike said.x
.
According to him, the deliberate acts of violence being perpetrated by the police are planned ahead of a possible rigging process in 2019.
.
“I have never seen a country where they politicise crime. It is very obvious that they want to give the impression that Rivers state is unsafe. They want to instill fear preparatory to declaring during the elections that they are so much killing.
.
“Authorities deliberately trying to destroy a whole state and you want the people to be happy. I will no longer write.
.
“Now is the time to take my case to the public, for the whole world to know what is happening,”
.
he added stating that his government had invested in security logistics more than any other while the police are allegedly working against the state.
PoliticsOperation Python Dance Is Provocative, Meant To Intimidate Igbos – Nwodo by Mrl1(op): 1:10pm On Sep 13, 2017
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has described the ongoing Operation Python Dance in the South East as military invasion, urged the presidency to direct the military to call off the exercise.
Ohanaeze President General, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, made the statement in reaction to army clashes with residence and the invasion of the home of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
He said the military operation was the height of provocation and may escalate the already tensed situation in the zone.
He said the operation was only meant to intimidate South East residents.
The Ohanaeze leader said there were more civilised and established ways to resolve the issue of self-determination, democratic and security challenges rather than resort to the use of brute force.
He warned that if what he called the act of intimidation was not discontinued, the group would be left with no alternative than to conclude that “this is a containment policy aimed at the South East to intimidate our people from freely expressing their anger and angst at their marginalisation and treatment as second class citizens.”

PoliticsBiafra: Niger Delta Avengers Begins Move To Defend And Protect Nnandi Kanu by Mrl1(op): 1:01pm On Sep 13, 2017
The police said, "we came to wait for the court orders to rearrest Nnamdi Kanu".. That's how it started.. 6000 officers moved into Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Imo and Ebonyi, just to ARREST KANU.. nwoke is larger than life, I swear.
.
Mrs Obiefuna, my primary school teacher told me that the job of the military was to protect the territorial integrity of a country against EXTERNAL AGGRESSION.. I sang that like a rhyme until the military was brought in too.. Was I thought a wrong definition?
.
Python dance 1 died on arrival, so for 2nd Egwu Eke the Army listed 6 SE states and also 6 SS states were on crocodile smile.. "its 5 SE states", I argued and the 6th has not been created.. Not true, to the northerners Rivers State is South East, to them SE & SS exist only on paper.. In further maths class, I was taught subset A intercept subset B at Rivers State..
PH and Obigbo are under siege now too..
.
Don't forget, we are still waiting for the orders to arrest Kanu, a Battalion went to rehearse or have a "MOCK arrest".. Like mock WAEC but one Battalion is 1200 soldiers..
.
Dokubo Asari, Tompolo Ekpemupolo and NDA have all "missiled" their emissaries to Afara Ukwu.. Good! Umunne shout Good!!.. That alone is a representation of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers state against OUR COMMON ENEMY.. Where are those efulefus reciting, "Ika not Igbo" only at Zuckervillie.. A motion moved by overfeeding and seconded by cheap data.. An Igbo adage have replied you all, "when the corpse starts decaying, the friends that are better than a brother disappears!".. Abeg Ijaw, Itshekiri, Urhobo etc ekele m unu.. Waadooo!!
The best road sign for the southern roads now is not "Men at work" but " Biafran Unity at Work"..
Now Rumuigbo and Rumuokoro are JUST names of streets.. The owners are Biafrans.. Leave android screen, come to Mile 2 or Ariaria and argue this.. Make Obiakpor boys conduct brain transplant for you! Nkogheri fall on you!
.
Back to the topic.. Rearrest Kanu!
Okezie Victor Ikpeazu imposes dusk to dawn curfew for the few.. Rubbish! He thinks its child's play.. During wartime only a TRUCE can be signed.. Meanwhile, as Warri no de carry last, Aba naa ebu uzo àchó.. Newton's law about action and reaction.. One Aba-Ngwa boy was downed, reaction took 8 abokis, yet Aba said "reaction was not equal and opposite", Newton's law was disobeyed. One is to 1000 is the target ratio.. Awusa ga ahu ihe this time!
.
To Anambra, Willie Obiano is busy with his campaign poster printers.. Two months away. Maybe he will write "Vote or I shoot" on his posters and place them on the armoured personnel carriers (APC) for campaigns.. Did I just see APC on this write up?.. Then this is hate speech.. You naa HATE READER!
But every new day, more souls loose their confidence in the system.. Victory for IPOB and Biafra is at sight.
.
Everything seems to be on Nnamdi Kanu's script.. BSS was inaugurated, provocatively but timely.. All TV stations have moved to little Umuahia.. All news bars and breaking news be like "Kanu is eating", "Kanu coughed", Kanu this Kanu that.. Dimkpa Nwokeh.. Nnamdi Kanu be like John Cena.. "You can't see me!".. Check out his interviews, articulately composed like it was crammed since 1983.. Hate him as much as you can but give him his marks!.. That's even the bone of all his struggle..
How will you see that self, when soldiers are attacking NUJ offices, Judiciary, transporters and all the "branches" of IPOB.
.
Kids in school be like,"Nnamdi Kanu is the Governor General of Nigeria".. This is Buhari's biggest headache!.. Kanuism is spreading faster than harmattan fire at Sambisa Forest!.
.
But in all remember, Mohammed Yusuf was "just talking" until his members were ambushed and killed, that was the birth of Boko Haram and Shekau. Nelson Mandela was just talking until white apartheid extremist unbearably killed plenty protesting blacks and he took up arms and the ANC militant wing was born, apartheid died.. One day you will add, "Kanu was just talking until the clueless fools of PDP vs APC took war to him and the zoo was burnt down!..
Biafra was born!!

PoliticsNnamdi Kanu Under House Arrest, I Can't Confirm If He's Dead Or Alive - Lawyer by Mrl1(op): 4:56pm On Sep 12, 2017
The lawyer defending the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Ifeanyi Ejiofor has raised the alarm over the whereabouts and life of his client, Nnamdi Kanu.

This was contained in a statement issued and released to journalists on Tuesday. He said he is not aware if Kanu is still alive or dead following the armed invasion of Kanu's residence by heavily armed soldiers.

The statement reads: “Just to notify the world that my client’s (Nnamdi Kanu) house is presently under siege by the trigger happy soldiers acting under the direct instruction of Chief of Army staff.”

“They drove in their thousands to arrest and maim him. I just got a distressed call from him now. Further efforts to establish contact with him has remain unsuccessful.
“As it stands now, I can’t confirm whether he is dead or alive.
The operation python dance presently launched by the Buhari led administration in the south east, principally targeted at eliminating my client, is yielding the desired result to the presidency, having launched a man hunt for my client and unarmed members if indigenous people of Biafra.

“Let the world know that the federal Government has practically abandoned their case in court in search of a brute route to eliminate my client. As I type this statement, his residence has been cordoned off by the military, majority of whom are of Fulani extraction.
“The world should hold Buhari led federal government responsible if anything untoward happen to Nnamdi Kanu. The situation is very tense at the moment,” Ejiofor added.

PoliticsNnamdi Kanu's Father Sends Warning To FG, Says His Son Must Not Be Re-arrested by Mrl1(op): 9:44am On Sep 09, 2017
The father of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, His Royal Highness, Isaac Okwu Kanu has vowed that Nigeria would be in trouble if his son is arrested or killed.
.
Speaking with the Sun, Kanu, who doubles as the traditional ruler of Afara Ukwu Ibeku in Umuahia North Local Government area of Abia state also sent an SOS to the United Nations, alleging that the Federal Government planned to kill his son.
.
He said:“Yes, of course, I’m a human being. When they talk of re-arresting him, it means they want to kill him, but God will not allow them because my son has done nothing wrong.
"I am using this opportunity to call on the United Nations to call the Nigerian government to order because they are planning to kill my son. My son did not do anything; government should go after those who have committed offence against Nigeria.
“Why will they want to re-arrest him? Did he kill anybody? Did he flout the constitution? Some people are saying that my son, flouted the bail condition given him by a Federal High Court in Abuja, but the question remains, what type of bail condition was that?
"Is it possible that a person of my son’s standing in the society could stay without meeting up to 10 persons in a day or week?
“So, the said bail condition was against his fundamental human rights. But that notwithstanding, I know what we are passing through in my palace; trying to stop people from coming here, but there is a limit to which we can do that.
“Initially, the major gate to my palace had always been open, but since he came back, that gate has always been shut and we did that to stop people from gaining access to the compound. So, I don’t know what they are talking about.”
Asked what will happen if his son is rearrested, the monarch said,“Yes, re-arresting my son will definitely cause more problems for the country. Why would they re-arrest my son; to kill him? God and our people will not allow that to happen.
.
“They should realise that Nnamdi has a boy he has not set his eyes on since he was born and it was out of respect for the laws of the land that made him not to go to London to see that boy.”

PoliticsSagay’s Allegation Against Senate Cannot Be Denied - CACOL by Mrl1(op): 9:03am On Sep 09, 2017
The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL) has challenged the Senate to disprove the allegations raised by Chairman Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Itse Sagay, against its members, stating that it has been on record that the lawmakers have shrouded their remunerations in deep secrecy.
According to a report, Sagay had criticized members of the National Assembly for their expenditure which he said was adversely affecting the economy.
.
In addition, Sagay reportedly said:“Wardrobe allowance N621,061.37; recess allowance N248, 424.55; accommodation 4,968,509.00; utilities N828,081.83; domestic staff N1,863,184.12; entertainment N828,081.83; personal assistant N621,061.37; vehicle maintenance allowance N1,863,184.12; leave allowance N248,424.55; severance gratuity N7, 425,736.50; and motor vehicle allowance N9, 936,982.00.”
The Senate, while responding, requested President Muhammadu Buhari to call the PACAC boss to order, accusing him of spreading falsehood and making hate speeches against the federal legislature.
However, the Executive Chairman of CACOL, Debo Adeniran, in a statement, said:
“Between the present NASS and Prof. Sagay, we will choose the latter in terms of the zeal and dedication to the cause of ridding our society of corruption. We know that the PACAC Chairman’s integrity is a million miles ahead when compared that of present NASS.
“It is extremely ridiculous to hear the balderdash the lawmakers are trying use to divert attention for fundamental issues raised by the Professor.
"They have for long shrouded their remunerations in deep secrecy in spite of Nigerians demanding to know. Even reliance on the Freedom of Information Act will not make them bulge.”
“If truly they are women and men of honour, the logical response from the Senate should have been the task to ‘disprove’ the figures put forward by Sagay. We had said before that the present NASS is apparently the most inept in the history of Nigeria with considerable number of members having corruption cases.”
.
“We know it is because of the vibrant role Sagay is playing as the head PACAC that always make the NASS shiver any time he sneezes.”He concluded

PoliticsFayose Blasts Yoruba Leaders For Not Fighting For The Region by Mrl1(op): 9:47am On Sep 08, 2017
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti has taken a swipe at Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and other Yoruba elders saying they were the biggest problem of the region.
The Punch reports that the Ekiti governor spoke at the Yoruba Summit in Ibadan, Oyo state on Thursday, September 7.
.
He accused the present Yoruba elders of not doing enough for the region saying Yoruba forefathers fought for them.
He said:“People can only discard my voice but they cannot throw me away. Our forefathers in Yoruba land tried their best but the present Yoruba elders are our problem. This is our fathers’ land and they must defend it.
“We have had great meetings like this that were held in the past and which were attended by Yoruba elders, but after the meetings, the so-called elders would approach the media and said we do not need restructuring. This does not make any sense.
“The war against Yoruba land is from within. We have selfish elders in the land. Through the period when one of our elders ruled Nigeria, he never deemed it fit to honour Chief M. K. O. Abiola, who died fighting the cause of Yoruba people.
“We are fighting for a just cause now but this man will appear on the television and say restructuring is not the way. He put us in the position we are today.”
“I align myself with what our elders have said but they must fight without fear if we have to move forward. God will help you. There is no alternative to regionalism.
“You cannot blame the governors who are not here because our present leaders have turned themselves to Lions. When the governors want to talk, they roar at them to keep them quiet.”
Femi Fani-Kayode insisted that if restructuring is not granted, then the elders should prepare for Oduduwa republic.
.
“If we cannot have regional restructuring, let us prepare ourselves for Oduduwa Republic. That is the thinking of the majority of our people but as a first step, let us demand restructuring.
“We appeal to the Federal Government, all political leaders and all parties, let us restructure this country and devolve powers to the states. Give us the power to live our lives.
“Nobody can suppress the Yoruba people, nobody stops us; we are the sons of Oduduwa and we shall go forth.”
.
This Day reports that the Yoruba leaders also recommended the devolution of 25 items on the Exclusive list in the 1999 Constitution, ranging from customs duties to exchange control, currency, coinage and legal tender, arms, ammunition and explosives, and citizenship, naturalisation and aliens among others.

Politics2019: What Will Happen To Nigerians If Buhari Decides To Re-contest - Shehu Sani by Mrl1(op): 9:27am On Sep 08, 2017
Senator Shehu Sani (APC-Kaduna Central) has stated that there would be grave consequences for many Nigerians whether Buhari decides to re-contest the presidency in 2019 or not.
Sani made his comments on Thursday, September 7, during an interview session on a Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today.
.
He stated:“No one can clearly say if President Buhari will run for re-election in 2019.
“But it is clear that if he takes a position, if he says he is not going to contest, certainly that may be the end of governance in Nigeria because it is only going to be about 2019; and if he says he is going to contest, certainly the political ambition of so many people will certainly come to an end.
“But I think he is being strategic for now, he wants to deliver on pledges and promises made in 2015 and because whatever comes out from his mouth has grievous implications to governance in Nigeria as it is now.”
.
The ruling party chairman spoke on the heels of a comment credited to Aisha Alhassan, that President Buhari had said he would not seek re-election.

PoliticsNnamdi Kanu Reportedly Trounces Ojukwu With Biggest Title In Igboland by Mrl1(op): 9:59pm On Sep 07, 2017
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been reportedly honoured with the highest title in Igbo land, south-eastern Nigeria.
Kanu was decorated with the title of the ‘greatest Biafran Warrior’ by the Odumeze of Ohafia, Abia state, and other elders, according to Somto Okonkwo, who posted the photographs on social media.
Kanu, according to Okonkwo, is now the Otu Onye Nakpu Ogwe 1 of Biafra Land.
.
However, the controversy that seems to have emerged from the award of the title is the place of the late Biafran warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu.
Ojukwu, who was an officer of the Nigerian Army before the war, is often described as a warrior and even had a title to that effect.
Aniebo Nwamu, a Nigerian analyst, recently said:“One of the prominent titles conferred on Ojukwu on his return from exile in 1982 was Dike Di Ora Mma (The warrior loved by all).”
He described the title as“an apt description of the visionary from the east who was born in the north and grew up in the west.”
.
Until months ago, Nnamdi Kanu had been in detention on the order of the federal government over alleged treasonable offences.
The government is also reportedly asking the court to withdraw the bail condition it granted Kanu with the argument that he had abused some of the conditions he was given.
.
It was gathered that the unarmed youths were detained on Monday night, September 4, at the popular Isi Gate area, after they clashed with the army.

When asked to explain her reason for moving against the president, Alhassan said: “I have no comment.
“I have said all in BBC Hausa. Get someone who speaks Hausa very well to translate it for you… let the will of God be done.”

PoliticsNigeria’s Exit From Recession Doesn’t Reflect In Reality - Makarfi, NLC by Mrl1(op): 11:15am On Sep 06, 2017
Senator Ahmed Makarfi, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and caretaker committee, has condemned the celebration of the country’s exit from recession.
Punch reports that Makarfi, on Tuesday, August 5, noted that the just released statistics did not reflect the ''reality as it affects ordinary Nigerians''.
He said:''For any economic recovery to be meaningful, it must positively impact on the lives of the people at the lower level''.
.
RationalTV..com gathered that Peter Ozo-Eson, the general secretary of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) also said there has been any visible improvement in the standard of living said despite the exit of the country from recession.
Damilola Ehinmitan, a banker, said that the naira to dollar exchange remained high at 305 in the interbank market and between 360 and 365 at the parallel market saying that did not reflect economic growth.
On his part, Ola Azeez, the managing director of Remolaz Management Consult, said it was good that the economic statistics were giving Nigerians a ray of hope but their livelihood had not changed.
.
According to him,''An average Nigerian cannot afford three square meals in a day. The companies in the manufacturing sector are still struggling to operate. The size of some packaged food items is still reflective of the poor state of the economy.
''Economic indices such as purchasing power, disposable income and prices of goods and services have not really confirmed that we are out of recession.
''What we are hearing from the government is encouraging but we want it to be translated to the masses''.
.
Meanwhile, RationalTV..com had reported that the Nigerian national bureau of statisticsconfirmed that the country is finally out of recession with a positive growth in its GDP.

RationalTV..com
Poster boy of world boxing Anthony Joshua has declared that due to his training rudiment and demands of his boxing career he will not have time for any girlfriend or think of settling down till after ten or twelve years.
The Nigerian born British boxer said, “If people can ride with me for the next 10 to 12 years I would really appreciate it, but if they can’t foresee the future I’d rather they jump off the boat because I can’t stop for no one right now.
.
I was speaking to my coach, who worked with Carl Froch who had a 12-year career. One day it does finish and now he has all the time in the world to think about business, family.
Not everyone likes the decisions I make but I’ve got to make my own decisions. Decisions I make impact others. And my time training means there is not much time for girlfriends either.”

The president should address Boko Haram in the North-east, the unfortunate quit notice by the Arewa youths, how to boost the economy and the welfare of citizens in Nigeria. He doesn’t have the right to threaten IPOB or any group.”
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General SK Usman has said the recent viral video of the Biafra Secret Service is being addressed by the military.
