Biafra, quit notice and all that nonsense

Biafra, quit notice and all that nonsense ON JUNE 16, 20176:30 AMIN CONVERSTION WITH AZUCOMMENTS FOR nearly two weeks now the entire news space has been filled with what a LEADERSHIP editorial correctly described as “the valorisation of secessionist hubris.” The purveyors, sponsors and foot soldiers must immediately stop this nonsense.  In apparent reaction to the irresponsible and unrestrained comments of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, some clowns, under the umbrella of the so-called coalition of Arewa youths, held two press conferences last week in Kaduna, during which they gave Igbos a ridiculous ultimatum to leave all parts of the North by October 1 and also for all Northerners in the South East to return to the North. Since then, virtually every ethnic champion has spoken in the name of one ethnic group or another for, against or in-between.  Secession is the new demand for states and local governments. Rubbish.

Navy, Police bloody clash in Calabar ON JUNE 16, 20177:00 AMIN EDITORIALCOMMENTS While Cross River State is still trying to come to terms with the Calabar football viewing centre tragedy that claimed some lives, the capital city was recently caught in the negative spotlight again. A traffic light tiff between some naval officers and Police traffic controllers degenerated into loss of lives and mindless destruction of public property. The Naval officers wantonly flouted the red light on a road in the Akim area of  Calabar  and assaulted the policemen who attempted to stop them. The incident, which occurred about 5pm on Tuesday,   May 30, 2017, snowballed into a bloody encounter three hours later. A divisional  police headquarters was razed, two policemen, a Sergeant and a Corporal, as well as a naval rating lost their lives while two others sustained gunshot wounds when the naval men struck. Two vehicles were also torched. Dangerous weapons, including a General Purpo...

Ogoni clean-up: FG playing politics with lives of Rivers people – Wike

The Governor of Rivers State Nyesom Wike, has said that the Federal Government is playing politics with the cleanup of Ogoniland. He called on the United Nations, UN, to prevail on the Nigeria government to implement clean-up of the area, which was flagged off last year. Wike was speaking at Government House, Port Harcourt, yesterday, when he met with the UN Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator, Edward Kallon. He said the clean-up of Ogoniland should not be politicised, as it dwelt directly on the development of the area. “Yesterday, in the Senate, somebody said the Federal Government has not done anything as far as Ogoni clean-up is concerned. “When we were saying it, they said we were playing politics.
