FIRE OUTBREAK AT YABATECH

A fire outbreak early this morning at a hostel in Yaba college of Technology, Yabatech has forced academic activities to be put on hold. A statement by Dr. Charles Oni, Yabatech spokesman reads;
“By this notice, all examinations and lectures, especially
scheduled for today (Wednesday) have been put on hold
while the College attends to the exigency.
“The Management regrets the misguided and outright
falsehood on the social media and calls to certain radio
stations that there was no water on campus to quell the fire.
The truth is that firemen needed an excavator to attend to
the fire, which the College provided promptly.
“Meanwhile, the Rector, Dr. Margaret Ladipo has called on
the College community to remain calm as the Management
finds ways to soothe the pains inflicted by the accident.”

Fayose warns Ghanians against voting for change

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has counselled the people of Ghana not to make same error made by Nigerians in the 2015 presidential election by voting for change, which has brought hunger, sufferings and economic recession to the country.

Fayose issued the warning as the December 7 presidential election in Ghana draws near,

He said “by buying into the All Progressives Congress (APC) message of change, Nigerians are now facing a kind of hunger and suffering never experienced in the country in the last 30 years and Ghanaians must not fall into that kind of trap.”

A statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said Fayose spoke while playing host to some men of God from Ghana at the weekend.

The governor said; “Ghanaians should not succumb to the deceit of the opposition party that are calling for a change of government. Rather, they should return the incumbent President, John Mahama, who has no doubt done creditably well to deserve a re-election.

“Ghanaians should know that the change in Nigeria brought hunger, suffering, disregard for the rule of law as well as arrest and detention of Nigerians without trial and be mindful of those preaching change to them.

“Most importantly, the situation in Ghana at present is similar to that of Nigeria. Like President Mohammadu Buhari, opposition party, New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo has contested the presidency two times. This is the third time he is contesting. He is also 74 year-old.

“In Nigeria, change is synonymous with economic recession that is even getting to the level of depression. Even majority of those who brought the change are now regretting it.

“Therefore, tell your people in Ghana that Nigerians are already regretting the change they made last year, which has plunged the country into serious economic hardship.

“Tell them to learn from Nigerians and reject those preaching message of change to them. They should hold on to the government that they have now and beware of a change that will take their country to economic recession.”

URHOBO AND IJAW CLASH INTENSIFIES

THREE indigenes of Ogbe-Ijoh, Warri South-West Local Government Area, Delta State, were reportedly kidnapped, weekend, as the dispute between Urhobo and Ijaw communities in the state worsened. Those abducted were Mr. Gbolei Andrew, at Ovwian Expressway Junction at 5p.m.; Ebiarede Ponmo and Izonfa Abun, who were fishing along the Warri River, close to Aladja community at 4a.m., yesterday. The youth wing of Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, Udu chapter, led by Sunday Subi, had recently given a seven-day ultimatum to Ijaw indigenes in Udu to vacate the area. An Ogbe Ijoh leader told Vanguard that the chairman of Ogbe Ijoh Zonal Committee, Elder Freewei Makirigbene, informed the community about the kidnap and the matter had been reported to security
At press time, tension had mounted at Ogbe-Ijoh following an unconfirmed report that armed men have been recruited to kidnap and assassinate some prominent leaders of the community. The source, however, hinted: “Ogbe-Ijoh people will certainly not fold their hands if the relevant government agencies refuse to secure their release.” We did’t kill, kidnap anyone— Ogbe-Ijoh Meanwhile, Ogbe-Ijoh community, yesterday, said it knew nothing about the killing and kidnap of Urhobo indigenes as alleged by an Urhobo youth leader. Chairman of Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom Governing Council, Alex Akemotubo (Esq.), in a statement, said: “The attention of Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom Governing Council has been drawn to publications, both in the print and the social media, alleging that some Urhobo indigenes were killed and others still missing in the wake of renewed communal crisis between Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja on one hand, and Isaba and Aladja on the other hand. “These allegations by the youth wing of Urhobo Progress Union, Udu chapter, by one Sunday Subi, is too weighty to be ignored, hence this clarification. “We, therefore, appeal to the leadership of Urhobo Progress Union to call its youth wing in Udu to order and urge security agencies in the state to investigate this allegation by inviting Sunday Subi as Ogbe-Ijoh people know nothing about dead or missing Urhobo indigenes in the wake of renewed hostilities between Isaba and Aladja communities. “We view this claim as cheap blackmail and attempt to introduce ethnic colouration to get sympathy from the larger Urhobo ethnic nationality.”

I SUPPORTED DONALD TRUMP- KANYE WEST

Kanye West admitted to being a Donald Trump supporter on Thursday during his concert.

Although the rapper did not vote at all in the presidential election, he revealed:
“I told y’all I didn’t vote right? …But if I were to have voted, I would have voted for Trump.”
“This is about the idea of a black guy liking Trump. They thought they had me because … just because I was black or just because I was a celebrity. But Trump is our president. And that would’ve been my vote, so I feel right.”
Some people in the crowd started booing him before he went on to sing “Heartless”
However, it didn’t take long before he stopped the song just to continue his rant:
“I just said that I would have voted for Donald Trump and then I did a song and y’all sang it at the top of y’all lungs. That doesn’t mean that you’re a Trump supporter. That just means you okay with a celebrity having their own opinion – or that someone else is okay to have their own opinion. That might not be your opinion and you can still like that person or still like that person’s music.”
He went on by addressing some social issues:
“That don’t mean I don’t believe in women’s rights. That don’t mean that I don’t believe in gay marriage.”
Well, I hate to break it to you, but it’s not enough if you just believe in people’s fundamental rights, you need to also act, and voting for someone who couldn’t care less about what you believe in is just not rational. But I digress, apparently people need to also “stop focusing on racism” because “we’re a racist f*cking country, period.” Oh, that makes total sense. I wonder why the rest of the country hasn’t thought about that.
Also, maybe you remember how Kanye announce he is going to run for president in 2020 and we all laughed, right? Well, now more than ever that doesn’t seem so funny anymore, everything is possible. And during his concert rant he had to mention that he’ll use Trump’s model for his campaign.
Recently however, a source shared for People magazine that Kanye did not share his political views but just urged people to have free discussions and not be afraid to share their opinions.

“It was strictly an egalitarian message. He was saying ‘Hey, let’s have a dialogue where everyone’s opinion is respected.'”

Singapore execute Nigeria Chijoke

Nigerian convict Chijoke Stephen Obioha was executed in Singapore early on Friday, November 18, 2016 after the Court of Appeal dismissed an Urgent Criminal Motion filed by his lawyer, Mr Joseph Chen, Thursday. The Singapore Anti-Death Penalty Campaign member, Mr Ravi, who is assisting Mr Joseph with the research for the case, took to his Facebook page an hour ago to announce the news “This morning, at 6am, the execution of Chijioke Stephen Obioha took place. I am not even sure if his family from Nigeria were able to attend. Soon it will be all forgotten together with Chijioke’s name, but for the many of us who fight and campaign to eradicate this barbaric practice of death by hanging, and for those of us who challenge the mandatory death penalty for drug trafficking in Singapore, our work will go on. And it must”, Ravi wrote. Chijoke was arrested in 2007 and sentenced to the Mandatory Death Penalty in 2008 after being found guilty of trafficking more than 2kg of Cannabis.
