Biafra: Nnamdi kanu Explodes In January 19 Broadcast (Audio)

 

The leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has reechoed his earlier stance that he and members of his secessionist group will boycott the general elections in Nigeria.

Kanu, who made this comment on Saturday evening during a live broadcast or radio Biafra, reiterated that members of his group and all “Biafrans” will boycott next month’s general elections in “Biafraland” except their demands are met by the Federal Government.

This online news medium understands that Kanu, who is based in Israel, is demanding for a referedum as a bargain for voting in the forthcoming elections.

Naija News reports that Kanu’s statement is coming a few days after he said members of his group will participate in the forthcoming governorship elections in Abia and Ebonyi state.

Kanu who made this comment during a live interactive broadcast on radio Biafra last week Saturday which was monitored by Naija News said this became imperative in order to vote out Ikpeazu and Umahi whom he described as “enemies of Biafra“.

Giving reasons for his decision on the participation of his group in the forthcoming election, Kanu had said: “Because we said we are not going to vote doesn’t mean we can’t mobilise to have you voted out. That’s what will happen in Abia and Ebonyi. Perhaps if we keep quiet all the time, they’ll think, since they’re not going to vote does it really matter?

“But we have a very special programme for Abia and Ebonyi. They’ll find it difficult. The day people will realise the damage people like Umahi are doing to our people, they will understand why we must get rid of them in the corridors of power,” the IPOB leader had added.

Naija News reports that Kanu is leading a group seeking secession from Nigeria. The group has since been proscribed by the Nigerian government.

I will end ASUU strike in Nigeria-Moghalu

I will end ASUU strike in Nigeria-Moghalu

The presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP, Kingsley Moghalu said if he is elected as president he will put an end to persistent strike by Nigerian university lecturers.

“I will end ASUU strike in Nigeria,” Moghalu stated this during the 2019 presidential candidate debate held at Congress Hall of the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.

“Every young man or woman must know how to run a business. We will invest in our how children learn,” he added.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)industrial strike has become recurrent over the years. The strike actions are usually as a result of the federal government not responding to lecturers demands at the time they ask for it.

The union’s first strike action since Nigeria returned to democracy was in 1999 under the former president Olusegun Obasanjo, and it lasted five months before it was called off.

In 2001, ASUU embarked on another strike action that lasted three months. The lecturers also embarked on strike in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2017 and the latest which started on 4th November 2018 is still ongoing.

The recent strike started following the demands of the lecturer union for the implementation of previous agreements with the government for improved funding of universities.

Three months after, the Nigerian government has failed to reach to meet the demands.

Recently the minister of labour, Chis Ngige said the accountant general and the ministry of finance have confirmed with evidence that N15.4 billion had been released to public universities.

Ngige also said President Muhammadu Buhari has approved N20 billion to be used to offset the outstanding arrears of the 2009 to 2012 verified earnings in the universities.

He said the earned allowances will be released to ASUU as soon as the process is completed.

However, the president of the union Biodun Ogunyemi has described the government’s offer on the outstanding revitalization fund of N1.1 trillion as tokenism, said members insisted that government should release at least a tranche of N220 billion spread over four quarters of 2019.

He affirmed that on earned allowances, government’s proposal should not be lesser than the total amount released “the last time” out of the verified balance.

Wife Burns Husband Alive For Refusing To Give Her His Phone's Password (Graphic Photos)

The man died after two days

A jealous wife has found herself in serious trouble after she allegedly burnt her husband alive because he refused to give her his phone’s PIN code.

The woman identified as Ilham Cahyani, 25, asked Dedi Purnama, 26, to give her the passcode to his mobile device while he was working on the roof of their home repairing tiles in the village of Pandanwangi, Indonesia, but he refused.

An argument ensued and he climbed down from the roof and hit her. 

This led to a physical fight and Cahyani allegedly grabbed hold of a can of petrol and poured it over Dedi.

She then set him alight with a lighter.

A witness identified as Oji told reporters how he had run over to the scene after spotting the flames. He saw Dedi on fire and helped put the fire out.

Police chief Made Yogi revealed Purnama was rushed to the Keruak Health Centre and underwent treatment for two days. Sadly, he died after the second day.
