In this image made from a video released by the Russian Presidential Press Service, Russian President Vladimir Putin addresses the nation in Moscow, Russia, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022. (Russian Presidential Press Service via AP) Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he will respond “accordingly” to the United Kingdom’s plans to send ammunition to Ukraine which contain depleted uranium (DU) on Tuesday. Annabel Goldie, a U.K. defense minister, said that “alongside our granting of a squadron of Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, we will be providing ammunition including armour piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium.” She went on to say that the depleted uranium armour piercing rounds are “highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armoured vehicles.” This caused Putin to respond to the statement by saying he will “respond accordingly” since the “collective West is already using weapons with a nuclear components.” “[The U.K.] announced not only the supply of tanks t

Igboland and its hidden tributaries to the Atlantic – By Aloy Ejimakor

It’s often said that a lie told so many times, if unchallenged, may – in the course of time and generations – begin to pass for the truth. One of such is the terrible lie and brazen propaganda, institutionally purveyed (against the Igbo) since the end of the Civil War, to the effect that Igboland is landlocked or has no access to the Atlantic Ocean.   Just recently, this vexatious lie became predominant in the wake of the ethnic-baiting of Igbos in Lagos following the dubious 2023 presidential and governorship elections. Igbos, a merchant race, are being taunted again and told to leave Lagos and its seaports and go back to their ‘landlocked’ homeland. In other words, Igbos are being told that they are trapped in Nigeria as if Nigeria is one hellish jail for the Igbo. The purpose of this essay, therefore, is to rebut this fat lie with some simple historical, geographical and topographical evidence that are in plain view, if you care to dig into the archives or conduct some basic physica

The incident happened in Umunze, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State on Thursday. It was gathered that the victim was rescued by neighbours who later took her to the hospital after she raised the alarm. The suspect, who was later caught confessed that he and some others at large, committed the act on the instruction of a native doctor, who had promised to make them rich if they brought the required organs. The media assistant to the commissioner for women affairs and social welfare, Miss Chidinma Ikeanyionwu, disclosed this to journalists on Sunday. Ikeanyionwu said the victim was currently recuperating at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka, where the commissioner, Mrs Ify Obinabo had visited her. Ikeanyionwu said, “The incident was discove

Presidential poll failed to meet Nigerians’ expectations -US envoy

Image
5th March 2023 US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard The United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard, has said that the presidential polls of February 25 failed to meet the expectations of Nigerians. The ambassador acknowledged that many are angry and frustrated with the results, while some others are celebrating victories they believe were hard-fought and well-earned. She, however, commended Nigerians for demonstrating their dedication to democracy. Leonard, therefore, urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to promptly address the challenges that can be resolved ahead of the March 11 gubernatorial elections and to undertake a broader review of the problems that transpired during the last elections and what can be done to fix them. In addition, she urged INEC to share with the Nigerian public information about the actions it is taking. She made this known in an op-ed, ‘The Elections of February 25.’ She commended Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar for their comm
