(CNN) More than 100,000 people are under mandatory evacuation orders from the  wildfires in Southern California , where two fires are burning out of control. As Ed Pascasio fled from the Silverado Fire Monday afternoon with his wife, niece and sister-in-law, he watched embers flying toward their neighborhood. "The sky was orange, kind of like doomsday," he said. "I've never seen it change dramatically that fast." The Silverado Fire and Blue Ridge Fire are both burning in Orange County, California, and have quickly grown to scorch more than 10,000 acres collectively. The Silverado Fire quadrupled in size Monday. The cars packed on main roads -- filled with fleeing residents -- resembled a movie scene, Pascasio said. "A lot of neighbors were leaving at the same time. Everyone was shocked by the speed of it all," he said. This has been a devastating year for fires.  At least 8,000 fire incidents  reported by Cal Fire have burned a record 4 million acres a

By  Tayo Olu  on October 26, 2020 Operatives of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) were allegedly involved in the extra-judicial killing of 30,400 Nigerians in the last 16 years, a newly-released report has said. The report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law said SARS operatives killed an average 370 persons per month and 4,440 yearly between 2004 to 2020. The group, otherwise known as Intersociety, also claimed that no fewer than 200 #EndSARS protesters were killed during the recent protests across the country. The report said SARS caused the death or disappearance of thousands of Nigerians who were illegally arrested or not tried before being executed in custody. Intersociety, which is based in Onitsha, released the report signed by its director, Emeka Umeagbalasi, after the two-week-long #EndSARS protests and the disbandment of the police squad. “…Nigeria as a whole is most likely to have lost in the pa

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump attends a campaign rally at Des Moines International Airport in Iowa on Wednesday. (photo credit: REUTERS) There are many American Jews who will be voting for US President Donald Trump because of his support for Israel. These so-called one-issue voters will use their ballots to express gratitude to the president for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the US Embassy there, recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, the peace agreements with UAE and Bahrain and breaking America’s dangerous deal with Iran. But there are many more reasons to vote for Trump. Americans should not only be voting for Trump because of what he has done for Israel. They should be voting for Trump because of what he has done for America. Let’s start with the economy. Under Trump, the gross domestic product grew by 4.1% in 2019 and by 5.4% in 2018, numbers that were previously thought impossible to reach. The Trump administration’s tax cuts save thousands of do

The former British colonial officer in Nigeria, who died in England on 3 January 2011, Harold Smith , pointed clearly that Britain was angry with the Igbo because the highest resistive force encountered in that part of West Africa had come from the Igbo. And that, during independence, Britain intentionally played on Dr. Nnamdi Azukiwe's intelligence and handed the Nigerian government over to the North. What Smith could not say, in his self-willing interview to unravel the inhuman activities of Britain to the Igbo race, was outrightly what he did not know, hear and what he did not see. Harold Smith was the British Colonial Officer who was ladened with the duty of rigging the first Nigerian election in favour of their northern friends. Smith's rejection of this crimanal duty against humanity rewarded him with an immediate repatriation back to England. Arriving at England, Harold was accused of committing treason against the British government.  Harold's position here tells us
