Spain's Mariano Rajoy, who acknowledged defeat as parliament was to vote through a no-confidence motion, said it had been an honour to serve as premier, winning a standing ovation from his conservative Popular Party

Spain's parliament ousted Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy Friday in a no-confidence vote sparked by fury over his party's corruption woes, paving the way for a takeover by opposition leader Pedro Sanchez.
An absolute majority of 180 lawmakers voted for the motion, making Rajoy the first prime minister to be ousted in a no-confidence vote since Spain transitioned to democracy in 1977.

COMMUNIQUE ISSUED BY THE IGBO CIVIL SOCIETY COALITION (ICSCO) AFTER HER GENERAL CONGRESS HELD IN ENUGU ON SATURDAY, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 2017

Preamble: The Igbo Civil Society Coalition, a coalition of Igbo activists, civil society organizations, professional bodies, faith-based organizations, town unions, etc  held her monthly general congress in Enugu and after due deliberations resolved as follows: 1.     The ICSCO fully recognizes and respects everyone’s right to peaceful self-determination in line with extant international laws. 2.     That the declaration of an unarmed and non-violent group as a terrorist organization is an afterthought whose basic intention is to shield those committing genocide and ethnic cleansing against Ndigbo from prosecution at the International Criminal Court (ICC)  and divert attention from the bad governance and attempts to truncate the democratic process in Nigeria. 3.     That ICSCO totally condemns the use of state terrorism to create a unilateral state of war in Igbo land and intimidate, gag and silence the Igbo nation from self-expression in Nigeria....

Femi Fani-Kayode “ I f you thought oil was discovered in Nigeria in 1959, you could pass your high school economics with that information. It was, however, actually discovered 50 years earlier. Did you know that oil from the territory was sold for almost 50 years before the approach of Independence in 1960 forced the disclosure of Oloibiri by Britain? Even at that, the quantities were concealed from the newly Independent Nigerian governments, until the counter coup of July 1966, when the North packed their baggage to head back North in the famous ARABA putsch. The then British High Commissioner to Nigeria, of course on the promptings and direction of his home government, zoomed in upon Gowon halfway and prevailed on him to reverse the decision of moving the North out of Nigeria, at a time Gowon already hoisted the Arewa flag in a temporary capital city, Ilorin .

IGBOS,  THE ENDANGERED SPECIE. Any reptile that feeds on the mother hen can never spare its chicks neither can it love them. The natural order of things in the jungle is that the younglings follow after their older kind so that as a tiger pounces on an antelope, her cubs are not just waiting to feed but are also learning how to kill the offsprings of the same antelope too. Enmity is trans-generational. So when a killer reptile starts making some unfamiliar love gestures to its usual prey, there is trouble. No. Danger. Few days after the successful GTbank boycott by the Igbos in protest against the gestapo style invation, arrest and detention of Dr. Chukwuma Ifediaso Innocent, I watched in awe as the Islamic government of Nigeria invited him to Abuja. It was at the FHQ. Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai was there to sign a contract with INNOSON MOTORS and to collaborate with them in building APC's, gun mounted SUV's and some other military maneuver vehicles for the Nigeri...
