"The camp is empty because I sent them home to celebrate id," Gaduji said Nobody says that Covid-19 is completely a political deception. But, like the Igbo always say, "Remove the monkey's hand from the soup before it turns to human's," Nigerian leaders have made Covid-19 relatively skeptical. Early this month, May, 2020, Obasanjo visited the all-resounding Covid-19 quarantine centre in Lagos State and regretted the voting the present government into power. This time, it is Ganduji of Kano State. The picture above is the Covid-19 isolation centre constructed for the quaratiniqua of Kano Covid-19 patients. The camp was deserted because of religion.

Premium Times   May 29, 2020   Five Years of PMB: We’re Glad He Came Our Way, By Femi We need to count our blessings as a country, instead of dwelling on things that have not been done. No government accomplishes everything begging for attention in a country. We are now doing a lot more with a lot less income. Things we couldn’t do when oil prices stabilised at average of $100 per barrel for a long time, are now being accomplished. We’re glad this president came our way. Who are the ‘we?’ Speak for yourself only, some cynics would say on merely seeing the headline of this piece. They would add: “You can talk because you are in government, earning a ‘fat’ salary and enjoying other perks of office, so why won’t you be glad?” Okay. So that there’ll be peace, I agree that I enjoy all the things you claim, and more. But is that any reason for anyone to carry anger around in his bosom? What then happened to goodwill towards all men, and malice to none? But we are not talking about skeptics w

But the checkpoint and arrests on Wednesday happened not in Rio de Janeiro but in Clara, a town in County Offaly in the midlands of  Ireland . “Four males are currently detained under section 30 Offences Against the State Act and a number of firearms have been recovered,” Ireland’s police force, the Garda Síochána, said in a statement. Gardaí suspect the men, in their 30s, were recruited by one of two families of Travellers that live in the Offaly town of Tullamore and are involved in a feud, Irish media reported. The dispute allegedly started over a €70 (£63) drug debt and escalated on social media, prompting one faction to bring in the outsiders to target a rival at a house in Tullamore. Gardaí received intelligence about a planned murder and put th

Philonese Floyd said: ‘They need to be convicted and get the death penalty’ while family could meet with prosecutor as early as today The brother of   George Floyd , the black man killed by police in Minneapolis on Monday after an incident  captured on video  in which an officer knelt on his neck as he lay on the ground, has called for the death penalty for the police involved. Philonese Floyd sobbed on Thursday morning as he described the pain his family was experiencing and an urgent need for justice. The four officers involved in the arrest of George Floyd, 46, on Monday have been fired, and prosecutors are investigating. “These officers, they need to be arrested right now, the people want justice right now … they need to be convicted and get the death penalty,” Philonese Floyd said in an interview with CNN. He said the family of George Floyd could meet with the prosecutor on the case as early as today, and have been in touch with the prosecutor’s office and the Minneap
