Politics / Fuel Subsidy Removal: NNPC Contracts Innoson Motors To manufacture city buses by Voy(m): 8:23pm On Nov 27, 2021
NNPC Contracts Innoson Motors To Manufacture Condensed Natural Gas City Buses

NNPC to deploy hundreds of city transit buses nationwide; NNPC has asked Innoson Motors to make hundred of buses as the fuel subsidy removal is likely to hike up transport costs.

The buses made by the indigenuos car manufacturer can use both gas and diesel alternatively.


Innoson said: “I am doing city buses for NNPC. The one that will use gas. 100 units. I am producing it from start to finish. It will be purely gas. But I made it in such a way that in case there is scarcity of gas, it will use diesel. So, it can change as an alternative.”


He added:
“I can produce electric cars and make gas its alternative. I wanted to start producing electric cars, but Nigeria is not yet ready. Immediately Nigeria is ready, I will produce it. I have made the study and trained people on it. It's a good development and we are ready for it.”

Celebrities / Tape: Anyone Supporting You Is Fake - Journalist Kemi Olunloyo Tells Singer Tiwa by Voy(m): 11:27pm On Oct 23, 2021
Two FEMALE celebrities in the Nigerian entertainment industry called me today just to disrespect and blast me on the supportive advice I gave Tiwa Savage. The level of abuse I got on this phone call and the slamming of the call by one of them showed me these two ladies I trusted and respected WERE NEVER my friends. The industry is very fake as I already know. Don’t forget a fake news tip letter sent to me that I began investigating was meant to destroy the lovely Iyabo Ojo and ended up getting me detained 6 mos in prison. I will be keeping my distance from Nollywood and the industry from now on. I sacrificed one of my fave newsbeats Gossip and Entertainment to end the beef between me and stars. If I start exposing them now to make my money, you will call me wicked and to mind my business. My work continues as my opinion journalism brand is called #Kemitalks.

Here’s what I wrote if you haven’t seen it.

Tiwa: I have not watched the sextape. I’m not programmed to PORN angry After analyzing with Daddy Freeze, do the necessary. Any fan, friend, ex supporting u is FAKE.
1. Educate your son to avoid backlash from classmates, teachers and parents. They are laughing at him.
2. Write formal letters to your brand endorsement companies (Mostly family friendly brands) explaining what has happened (they already know) but as a PR tip(my 2nd degree) it is a necessity as they will NOT renew your contracts. This is the right time for them to DROP you.
3. Stop fighting, mocking and trolling bloggers and the blackmailer who is actually that your “boyfriend “ Set up your US tour earlier than 2022 and move on.
4. Sex tapes don’t make you famous. Stop filming intercourse moments. Kim Kardashian ended up sad and a failure at marriage. She ended up divorced from 3 husbands . I’ve never been married, it’s a choice. Protect your future. Not every man wants a Divorced woman with a sex tape. Good luck Girl!

Politics / How Britain Colonised More Than Half Of World Population. by Voy(m): 1:17am On Oct 20, 2021
Out of 195 countries of the world, Britain colonised 173 .

Even though the British Empire only managed to establish its first colony in Ireland in 1556, several decades after Portugal and Spain claimed land on the African continent and the Americas, it still became synonymous with global conflict due to its network of dominions and colonies spanning the whole globe. As the first chart from our new content series InFact shows, although certainly not all of them became its subjects, Britain's warfaring efforts only spared precious few countries in the world.

According to the book "All the Countries We’ve Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To", there are only 22 countries Britain never invaded throughout history. There aren't many gaps on the map, but some of the more notable include Sweden, Belarus and Vatican City. The biggest blank spots can be seen on the African continent, even though the Royal African Company founded in 1660 alone was responsible for forcibly removing 212,000 slaves from their homeland and shipping them to English colonies in the Americas between 1662 and 1731.

The British Empire in its various iterations can be seen as one of the longest-lasting Western empires in the world. Its first permanent overseas colony in the Americas was established in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia, while Hong Kong, its last big overseas territory, was handed over to China in 1997. In 1920, the empire covered roughly 13,700,000 square miles or 24 percent of the total land area of the Earth.

Apart from this the tribe also has numerous merchants and artists, not to mention nobility.The Fulani tribe has given Africa and Nigeria some of its most prominent politicians.

While the individual people do well for themselves, as a tribe, Edo has not been able to attain the number one spot in our list of the richest tribes in Nigeria.

Some of the popular Edo personalities:
* Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion

Religion / Do You Know HOLY NWEJE: The Story Of An Igbo Saint by Voy(m): 1:44pm On Oct 17, 2021
Hezekiah Okoro Nweje, was an Anglican priest.

A native of Onitsha in Anambra state. He was born in 1919 and died in June 1962.

He was nicknamed "Holy Nweje" because of his very humble, extreme righteous, easy going & a humanitarian life he lived. He was tenaciously devoted to the things of God. Whatever gifts he receives from the church he shepherded was always shared with those in the vineyard, the poor and the less privileged. He doesn't hoard·them at the expense of the needy.

In his philosophy, he believed that wealth was sharing what you have without hoarding it. At a time, he was nominated for the position of the Anglican Bishop on the Niger, he declined and nominated someone he felt was more qualified

Rev. Hezekiah Okoro Nweje was seen as an upright, spotless and a righteous man. It was all those outstanding qualities he possessed while alive that brought about the name "Holy Nweje". Depicting how holy one can be. He believed ones anger should not see the next moment.

In May 1956 Onitsha and Obosi were tussling for a piece of land, Rev Nweje was called as a witness, he told the Judge that none of the towns owned the land, na "Ani bu ani Chukwu" The land and thereof is of the lord. That ended the land tussle. He was always on the side of peace.·

Around April 1956, during the daytime local thieves invaded his house in Onitsha and stole tubers of yam and fowl, he ran after them and told them to come and take more cited hunger as the reason for their unconventional behavior. What a man!

Growing up in Igbo land, if seen or perceived as an upright person, you would be called or nicknamed "Holy Nweje" When next you're called HOLY NWEJE, do not feel ashamed or mocked. It tells good of you. Nweje Lane in Onitsha metropolis is a street named to immortalize him.

Dear Femi Fani-Kayode

6 months ago, you called Sunday Adeyemo, AKA Igboho “my brother”. You also called his cause just, and said he is the type of leader the Yoruba need. Sunday Adeyemo responded by saying that he trusted you and had given you the right hand of fellowship.

Sadly, it seems you have forgotten your brother so soon. Today is his birthday. No word from you. Nothing. Just silence. Imagine how your ‘brother’ will feel in that cold Cell your new friend, Buhari, has made the government of Benin Republic put him.

I also recall that your other friend and brother, Nnamdi Kanu, marked his birthday two weeks ago, on September 25, 2021. And the same thing happened. A very loud silence.

I will very much hate to be your “friend and brother”!

Thank you and may God bless you.
