GreyLaw:
Someone told me since last week that it would be like this. Also on this thread when Man city were loosing someone still categorically said Man city would score late goals because there is some level of fixing to these things.

There is more than meets the eyes to these things. It surley isn't outright fixing but there is some level of control to these things beyond 22 grown men chasing a round leather.

went Real Madrid scored 2 goals in 2mins against Man city in the champions league it was not match fixing abi?

Good morning scholars, I was shortlisted for OSS PTDF but I don't have any publication and I do not belong to any member of a professional body yet.
My question is, do I still have a chance at the interview? Because I am currently far away from my interview venue and I don't want to risk it for nothing. Thanks

Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, says his successor, Hope Uzodinma’s mission in the state was to kill and destroy, and does not have the capacity and what it takes to govern a state in a democratic setting.
Okorocha, now the Senator representing Imo West senatorial district in the National Assembly, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo, said the present “government in the state is a counterfeit of what a state government should be.”

In the statement made available to Ripples Nigeria on Saturday, Okorocha accused Uzodinma of throwing Imo into a cesspit of ineptitude and insecurity where killings, kidnappings, and ritual killings have become the order of the day.
The statement reads:
“Governor Hope Uzodinma came to Imo to kill and to destroy, not to build and he succeeded in his mission.
“Imo State and her people have not known peace since Chief Uzodinma became governor. They have only been hearing stories of killings, arson, kidnapping, invasion, rituals. What they never witnessed when the righteous ones were in power or on the throne.
“Governor Uzodinma and his government have become itching experiences Imo people won’t forget in a hurry.
“The government has made Imo people see their ears with their eyes. And the daily prayer on the lips of every sincere Imo man or woman has been ‘may this nauseating cup run over.’
“During my governorship for 8 years, militancy was a big issue in the oil-producing areas of Ohaji, Egbema and Oguta. I didn’t begin to supervise the killings. As a leader of his people, I employed and deployed diplomacy and got that problem solved.
“But under Governor Uzodinma, the killing of Imo people seems to have become the rule, instead of the exception. And the government is not regretting the killings, but only labouring to justify them.
“Under my administration, the opposition was encouraged to function unhindered. Every part of the state was alive and bubbling.
“Today, no part of the state is functioning. They are after the opposition. And they are not humble about their cluelessness and ineptitude."

The scene of the attack was familiar to traumatized villagers of Ancha in Bassa County of Nigeria ’s Plateau State on the cold evening of Jan. 11.
A unit of 30 well-armed Nigerian soldiers were stationed in an abandoned school building inside the settlement.
The 30 soldiers had assault rifles, an armored personnel carrier, and two trucks.
Yet to the shock of 400 local residents scattering at the sound of terrorist gunfire at midnight, the unit calmly held its position and never fired its weapons as terrorists murdered 18 local people, including many women, teenagers, and babies.
“The attack started some minutes after 12 a.m. leading to the death of 18 people,” said Stephen Andy Igmala, chairman of Bassa County, to The Epoch Times. “Seven people were injured and 107 houses were burnt down,” Igmala added.

Nigerian Soldiers Watch as Terrorists Massacre 18 Villagers
The scene of the attack was familiar to traumatized villagers of Ancha in Bassa County of Nigeria ’s Plateau State on the cold evening of Jan. 11.
A unit of 30 well-armed Nigerian soldiers were stationed in an abandoned school building inside the settlement.
The 30 soldiers had assault rifles, an armored personnel carrier, and two trucks.
Yet to the shock of 400 local residents scattering at the sound of terrorist gunfire at midnight, the unit calmly held its position and never fired its weapons as terrorists murdered 18 local people, including many women, teenagers, and babies.
“The attack started some minutes after 12 a.m. leading to the death of 18 people,” said Stephen Andy Igmala, chairman of Bassa County, to The Epoch Times. “Seven people were injured and 107 houses were burnt down,” Igmala added.
The terrorists were chanting “Allahu’akbar” (God is great) according to survivors. They burnt houses and food barns, incinerating children and the aged who could not flee, while under the watchful eyes of the soldiers who remained stationary in the village.
A few local watchmen returned fire with their single-shot rifles and shotguns, giving some covering fire to buy time for women and children to run out of the village.
Two of the watchmen were among the fatalities discovered after the attack ended at 2:30 a.m., according to witnesses who attended the mass burial on Jan. 12.
“It was like a rain of gunfire,” said John Rivi, leader of a neighborhood watch team, in a noon meeting with local officials attended by The Epoch Times in Ancha hours after the attack.
“They were more than 500. They surrounded the entire village before we knew it. They split themselves into groups. Some went south, some went west, some went east. Others took over the roads for possible evacuees,” Rivi said.
The attackers spoke Fulani dialect (the language of an ethnicity often linked to such raids), according to Rivi who said some of the attackers were known by the victims.
The assault began when civilian watchers guarding the village with slingshots and locally made short guns were overpowered on a northern corner of the town said Rivi.
Some of the attackers were men who lived locally and knew the residents well.
“We know them,” said Rivi. “One of them we know very well escorted a woman out of the village with her three kids before returning to kill her husband, father-in-law, and eldest son,” Rivi added.
Mary Bulus, 38, told The Epoch Times that she was led out of the town by a former Fulani business partner when he led a gang to attack her family residence.
“He came with five other Fulani,” Bulus said. “Some held their guns on the faces of my husband and father in-law. My eldest son of 12 was also there.
“He told me to follow him if I wanted to live. He said I should not worry that nothing will happen to any of my family members,” the traumatized Bulus said to The Epoch Times.
“He escorted me and my three little children to the far bushes and went back to the village and I was told that he was the one that killed my family members in the house,” she said.

Call for General Ali to Step Down
The military spokesman for the Army’s “Special Task Force” claims the army responded to a call for help but arrived too late to engage with the terrorists.
Major Ishaku Takwa did not respond to inquiries from The Epoch Times, but he apparently gave his statement to a This Day Live newspaper reporter in Jos who quoted him saying troops responded “swiftly” after receiving distress calls.
“On reaching the community, the attackers had fled the village. Houses were destroyed and some villagers lost their lives during the attack,” Takwa said, according to ThisDayLive.com.
The same claim was reprinted in Vanguard Newspaper but scrubbed out in a later edition.
The executive director of the International Committee on Nigeria has called for the resignation of the Nigerian general responsible for security in Plateau State.
“Major Gen. I.S. Ali, commander of Operation Safe Haven, needs to be replaced and prosecuted for crimes against humanity,” according to Kyle Abts.
“Ali’s negligence and inability to stop the massacre of innocent civilians needs to be investigated,” Abts texted to The Epoch Times.
“This incident is among a score of such incidents that have occurred under his command since January 2021,” Abts went on to say. “There are reports that when security forces did arrive, they stood down and watched the massacre of more than 25 civilians.”
The attackers included local Fulani residents supported by hired mercenaries, likely bandits fleeing military airstrikes in Nigeria’s northwest, said Istifanus Gyang–the Nigerian deputy senate committee chairman on defense.
“For over two decades now there are people that have displaced our communities, that have taken over farmlands, taken over the ancestral homes of people, and they have settled here comfortably.
“It is these people that have settled here, displacing people violently, taking over farmlands that are being reinforced by others that are coming from elsewhere. They keep coming, and the numbers are enlarging by the day,” Gyang said.
Military Refused to Defend Us: Community Leaders
The attack lasted more than two hours without intervention by the military, according to tribal leader Davidson Malison.
“From 12 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. [the attack went] undistracted and unchecked,” said Malison, the national publicity secretary of Irigwe Development Association in a press statement.
A 30-man military task force in the town withheld fire, guarding their vehicles and equipment during the raid, said Rivi.
“We first saw flashlights approaching the village from the nearby bushes and notified the military. The guard commander took some of his men and together with some of us youths we moved in the direction of the flashlights but suddenly heard gunshots behind us.
“The guard commander was alone trying to fight back. The others only took positions to protect their vehicles while the Fulani killed and burned our houses,” Rivi told the officials.
Youth leader of the Irigwe tribe Ezekiel Bini confirmed to The Epoch Times that the soldiers in Ancha stood down.
“They were here when it happened, yet they did not do anything,” Bini said.
Advance Warning Ignored
A day prior to the attack, the development association observed armed Fulani militias in the surrounding bushes close to the town and reported to the local community.
“The situation around the [area] is tense as the marauders have been spotted gathering in an attempt to unleash another terror,” said Danjuma Auta, the secretary general of the association in a statement on Jan. 10.
The alarm followed the killing of a man who was working with his wife on a nearby farm on the same evening that three people were killed in an ambush in nearby Riyom County.
The tensions persisted in the town through the evening of Jan.11 with rumors of a planned attack widely circulating on social media.
Senator Gyang, who represents Bassa County, has questioned the military’s role in the attack.
“I am at a loss that this thing happened and the needed response which should have been very massive,” said Gyang.
President Muhammadu Buhari, in a press statement issued by his spokesman Garba Shehu on Jan. 13, said the attack was retaliatory.
Buhari called on the plateau inter-religious council to “do everything possible to commit to the peace agreement and prevent it from falling apart.”
“Every group taking the law into their hands claims to be retaliating. As a society, there is no place for this sort of violence. This is unacceptable,” he said.
There are no known reports in Nigerian media in recent years of reprisal raids against Fulani residents of Bassa County carried out by armed Christian gangs.
