The former leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF) Asari Dokubo has accused the leaders of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, of promoting religious intolerance.

The Ex-Niger Delta warlord stated this while reacting to a recent video by Nnamdi Kanu, where the IPOB leader declared that all Nigerian pastors are evil.

“Every pastor in Nigeria is evil. If you’re going to church, you’re going to hell! Direct! Because the message you’re receiving, they’re from messengers of darkness, of liars and deceivers,” Kanu had said.

Reacting in a video shared on his Facebook page, Asari Dokubo said he could not work with Nnamdi Kanu, whom he described as an ‘idiot’, because the Biafra he (Dakubo) his fighting for would guarantee religious freedom.

He accused the IPOB leader of promoting religious intolerance against non-followers of Judaism, alleged that Kanu and his followers are planning to kill Christians and Muslims in the proposed country and make Biafra “a Jewish State”.

“All of us are Biafrans, a set of Biafrans now decide that they have the right of life and death over all of us, that they are going to kill all Christians, that they’re going to close down all churches, ” Dokubo said.

“They have started going, breaking down the monuments of Mary, Angel Gabriel and all sort of things, they have proclaimed our Biafra, our own Biafra, a Jewish state.

“They are going to kill all Moslems, including myself, a critical stakeholder, a formal stakeholder in our Biafra – they will kill me! They will kill every member of my family, they will kill every Muslim.

“And they say go and work with Nnamdi Kanu, go and work with Nnamdi Kanu. Who is this idiot you want me to go and work with?

“What are his credentials in our struggle? He rants. What is his badge of honour? 76 times in detention, still counting. I have not given up, I have not run away. I am not Ben Johnson, I am not Usain Bolt.”

A lawsuit filed to stop the publication of a tell-all book by John Bolton, Donald Trump’s third national security adviser has been struck out by a federal judge.

Judge Royce Lamberth of the US District Court in Washington DC who noted that Mr Bolton had “gambled” with US national security and “exposed his country to harm”, maintained that the US government had “failed to establish that an injunction would prevent irreparable harm”.

Lamberth said;

“In taking it upon himself to publish his book without securing final approval from national intelligence authorities, Bolton may indeed have caused the country irreparable harm.

“But in the internet age, even a handful of copies in circulation could irrevocably destroy confidentiality. A single dedicated individual with a book in hand could publish its contents far and wide from his local coffee shop. With hundreds of thousands of copies around the globe – many in newsrooms – the damage is done. There is no restoring the status quo.

“For reasons that hardly need to be stated, the Court will not order a nationwide seizure and destruction of a political memoir.”

Though the judge averred that Bolton could still be exposed to criminal liability, his Saturday ruling quickly dispels a long-shot attempt by the Trump administration to stymy the book’s release — an attempt roundly condemned as antithetical to the First Amendment.

While the President Trump had said the book is “made up of lies and fake stories”, the justice department on its own part said that the book had not been properly vetted. Mr Bolton’s lawyers however dismissed the claim, insisting that the manuscript was thoroughly examined and that Mr Trump simply did not like the contents.

The memoir, titled “The Room Where it Happened,” is officially set for publication on Tuesday, but physical and digital copies of the book have been circulating in Washington for several days, generating a flurry of unflattering headlines for the White House. And 200,000 copies of the book have been sent to resellers, according to Bolton’s publisher.

Published excerpts from his book have proved highly embarrassing to Trump, revelations including what Bolton says is impeachable conduct in seeking re-election help from foreign countries, China among them, and the president’s ignorance of basic geopolitical realities.

Bolton was national security adviser between April 2018 and September 2019, when he resigned. Trump claimed to have fired him.

A Nigerian lady took to Facebook to narrate how Nigerians refused coming close to a man who slumped at a shop in Abuja.

According to Odette Okwukwe, those around the shop refused to come close to the man over fear of contracting Coronavirus. She said her husband and another man helped out as the owner of the shop also ran away.

She wrote;

So I went to the market with Nwoke Anambala to pick up a few things for the ongoing work on site and this happened !

The man slumped and lost consciousness, nobody refused to come close to him because of Coro, even the owner of the shop ran outside.

COVID-19 will cause more problem in the long run than it actually should because of the fear factor. Kai!

The government of Chad Republic has made a formal request to the federal government to connect the country to the Nigerian electricity grid.

of getting connected to the Nigerian electricity grid to the federal government.

Chadian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abakar Saleh Chachaimi made the request during a visit to the Minister of Power, Engr. Sale Mamman in Abuja.

While the ambassador stressed the historical and economic value of connecting Chad to Nigeria’s electricity grid, the Minister of Power on his own part said it would help in enhancing the long existing relations between the two countries.

Mamman who approved the request to host his counterpart from the Republic of Chad for technical analysis of the request said Nigeria would evaluate it within the various projects under the Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme (TREP) for possible integration.

The Minister said;

“I, therefore, direct the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) whose representatives are part of this meeting, to come up with a business case and implementation modalities. Based on that, we will write to the Presidency to secure all the necessary approvals.”

Mamman disclosed that under the framework of the West African Power Pool (WAPP) objective of promoting power exchange among ECOWAS member states, the Republics of Benin, Burkina-Faso, Niger and Nigeria are building an 875 kilometre 330-kilovolt power transmission line, the “North Core Transmission line”.

Mamman also informed the Chadian delegation that currently, Nigeria has bilateral contracts for supplying electricity to the Niger Republic and Benin Republic which has been ongoing for decades.

DeAndre Yedlin has revealed he is considering quitting the United States national team because of the racial discrimination in his home country.

The Newcastle defender, 26, who has African-American, Native-American, and Jewish-Latvian heritage has condemned the prejudice against black people following the continued protests across the world since the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota police officers.

Speaking about quitting the US national team, Yedlin told Sky Sports: ‘It’s something I’ve thought a lot about during this quarantine.

‘My grandfather, my grandmother especially, I have a whole family of activists, they’ve always told me to stand up for what I believe in.

‘There’s no amount of money that can make me shut up about something I think is wrong.

‘It’s one of those waiting games to see if a change does happen. But if things go as they stand it’s hard for me as an African American male to represent a country that does things like this where all people aren’t equal.’

Yedlin believes the Premier League’s decision to replace all players’ names with ‘Black Lives Matter’ will send a powerful message from “the world’s sport”.

“If kids start seeing it on the back of players’ jerseys they start raising questions,” he says.
