President Buhari Is In Talk With Igbo Leaders For The matter Concerning Biafra.

President Muhammadu Buhari is reaching out to some prominent leaders in the Southeast to wade into the pro-Biafra protests rocking the region for a while now, the presidency says.

According to the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, President Buhari has also been assured by state governors in the region that the issues arising from the protests are being resolved.

Adesina who made the remark during an interview yesterday, November 28, monitored by today.ng, added
that President Buhari has the interest of all parts of Nigeria at heart and  would always follow due process and the rule of law in tackling any issue.

He further stated that the pro-Biafra protests was part of the agenda of the last Council of State meeting, adding that a governor in the Southeast region assured the council that the matter was being handled.

“Government is in communication with credible leaders of the South-East on the Biafra issue. At the last Council of State meeting, one of the governors from the region assured council members that the issue was being looked into.

“The leaders of thought are working already. The President is concerned about every part of the country, but he will always respect due process and rule of law,” Adesina said.

Meanwhile, Igbo leaders had a meeting in Enugu some days ago and decided to set up a delegation of elders to meet President Buhari concerning what they say is the marginalisation of Igbos in Nigeria.

             In a related development, the Ukrainian arm of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) recently protested the continued detention of one of their leaders, Nnamdi Kanu by Nigerian authorities at the Nigerian Embassy and International Amnesty office in the country’s capital Kiev.

Nnamdi Kanu, director of Radio Biafra, was arrested in October by the Department of State Services. He was charged with offenses related to his station’s broadcasts. He is yet to be released but appeared in court recently.

Amazing Daughter moves wedding to dad's hospital room so he could be part of it.

A North Carolina woman decided to hold her wedding in a hospital room so her terminally ill father could be a part of her big day.
Kaila Kirby, planned to tie the knot in July, but after her father's pulmonary fibrosis took a turn for the worse, she decided to improvise.

    “I just kind of wanted my Dad to give me away on my wedding day,” Kalia Kirby told WBTV.

On Wednesday morning, Kaila Kirby and her fiancé Daniel Pardue stood beside Jubal Kirby’s hospital bed at the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., and said their vows.

With only a few hours to prepare, hospital staff pulled together $45 in donations and bought fresh flowers and cake to celebrate the wedding, the Observer reported.

About 50 friends and relatives surrounded the couple as they tied the knot, according to the newspaper.

And while a wedding in a hospital room may seem rare, it wasn’t the first vow said in Jubal Kirby's hospital room this week.

Jubal Kirby married his daughter’s mother in a short ceremony last week, WBTV reported.

Jubal Kirby and Colleen were together for 26 years but did not decide to get married until it became clear how ill he was.

    “He said he wanted to make an honest woman out of her,” Kaila’s older sister, Jessica Harrison, told the Observer.

European Newspaper Sheds Light On Biafra

While the international media keep silence over “Biafra events” that currenlty unfold in Nigeria, popular British newspaper the Economist has finally gathered some facts about the Republic of Biafra to plunge into the depth of its unique history.

Go your own way
Half a century after the war, angry Biafrans are agitating again

           Most  Nigerians do not remember their country’s civil war. A large majority were born years after the 30-month fight between Nigeria and the breakaway region of Biafra, which ended when the secessionists surrendered in 1970.




Yet over the past month independence protests have erupted in cities across the south-east, where the self-declared state once was. Agitators say that this time they will not be beaten. “Biafra is a country to be restored,” declares one of them. “We are determined to fight to the end.”

This is a concern for Nigeria’s new government. Secessionist organisations in Biafra have been agitating for years, but analysts reckon the scale of the current marches is unprecedented.

Superficially, they were sparked by the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the outspoken head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement, and director of Radio Biafra, a pirate station. But the grievances run deep.

Nigeria did not exist until British colonialists drew a line around hundreds of fractious ethnic groups dominated by the Igbo in the east, the Yoruba in the west, and the Hausa-Fulani in the north.

The country’s regions have jostled for power ever since. Predominantly Igbo protesters have not forgotten that tens of thousands of their people were killed before Biafra unilaterally declared independence in 1967.

Between 1m and 3m people died during the war, many as the rebel territory was starved into defeat. In the 45 years since the war ended, they feel they have been blocked from senior political posts, denied public services, and impoverished by a post-war programme that they say auctioned off their houses and returned just £20 ($320, in today’s money) to them.

In the presidential election in March most south-easterners voted for the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, who comes from their region. He lost to Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim from the north. “#NigeriaWillRot”, Mr Kanu’s radio station declared after the results were announced.

Bill Gates Overthrown As the Richest Man in whole world.

A Spanish businessman has taken the title of the richest man in the world from the CEO of Microsoft, Bill Gates with what has been described as a quiet rise to wealth.
Spanish clothing magnate, Amancio Ortega, 79, over took Microsoft founder Bill Gates for the first time ever in the Forbes rich list.

                 According to Forbes's real-time tracker, the elusive multibillionaire founder of European clothing retailer Zara smashed past Bill Gates to become the wealthiest person on the planet, with a fortune of $79.8 billion (€71.83 billion or £51.84 billion).

Bill Gates' estimated net worth is $79.5bn as of this afternoon. He's expected to take back his top position from Ortega.


The elusive Ortega isn't as much of a household name as Gates, but he's quietly ascended the wealth rankings in recent years, as his company continues to perform well and expand.

Unlike many of the richest people in the world, Ortega has a fascinating rags-to-riches story. Born in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, Ortega's father earned 300 pesetas a month, a meager salary.

Ortega's biographer described his memories of a childhood during which his family could not always afford enough food. He left school in his early teens, working his way up from the absolute bottom rung as a messenger boy in a shop.

It wasn't until he was 40 years old that Ortega got around to setting up Zara, the fast-fashion retailer that has gone from strength to strength first growing in Spain, then neighbouring Portugal and France, then London. Now it's all over the globe.

Drama in Senate Over Buhari's N5,000 Promise to Unemployed Nigerians

The senators of the APC have objected to the motion to ensure the compliance of President Muhammadu Buhari to his campaign promise of offering financial palliatives to unemployed youths in the country.

There was mild drama at the senate on Wednesday, as All Progressives Congress (APC) senators and those of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) squabbled over a motion by Senator Philip Aduda, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to fulfill his party’s promise of paying N5,000 monthly to unemployed Nigerian youths, according to The Cable.

The motion, which was seconded by Godswill Akpabio (senate minority leader), generated hot air, as APC senators shot it down. Aduda’s motion followed an earlier motion‎ on the need to curb unemployment in
Nigeria by Bassey Akpan (Akwa Ibom northeast).

Akpan had observed that the rate of job creation in Nigeria was grossly inadequate to keep pace with the expanding working age and labour force population. He said he believed that if the nation’s unemployed youths‎ were effectively engaged in gainful employment, vices such as terrorism, kidnapping and armed robbery would be reduced. ‎

Akpan therefore urged the senate to call on the “federal government and sub-national governments to intensify their effort on employment generation activities in line with their various campaign promises”.

The motion was adopted, but the however adjourned to next Tuesday.

HISTORY :A GIRL WEARING NO DRESS BUT PANT

Before men started wearing the crotch-covering legging we call trousers, everybody wore skirts in one form or fashion. And why not? Skirts are far simpler to construct and facilitate more cooling air flow to the nether regions, which would’ve been a godsend in the pre-air conditioning days. But then, thanks to the rise of horseback infantries, trousers became the below-the-belt manly uniform of the masculine masses.

PROVISION OF FREE ELECTRICITY TO POWER YOUR BUSINESS FACILITY AND HOMES

The erratic power supply that rocks the stability of our economy has brought direct implications on the successes of our businesses and houses negatively. An average Nigerian home spends approximately N7,000 weekly and as much as N100,000 monthly for some corporate organizations for gas (petrol/ diesel) to run generators, and yet it does not guarantee a 24 hours power supply. In this mishap, we still face more challenges paying estimated bills for electricity supply that cannot meet our daily requirement.
