A German court has rejected "rebellion" as grounds to extradite Catalonia's ex-leader Carles Puigdemont and ordered his release on bail. The Schleswig-Holstein court said he could still face corruption charges in Spain, and it has only suspended extradition - not ruled it out. He was arrested in the north German region last month, after Spain issued a European Arrest Warrant. Spain charged top Catalan separatists over October's independence referendum. The court has been considering what to do about a Spanish extradition request for Mr Puigdemont for more than a week. Mr Puigdemont faces charges of sedition, rebellion and misappropriation of public funds in Spain as a result of his role in last year's Catalan banned independence referendum. He was detained on 25 March while crossing into Germany from Denmark on his way to Belgium, where he has been living in self-imposed exile since Catalonia's parliament unilaterally declared independence from

Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of collecting two armoured cars and $350,000 cash from embattled former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd). Dasuki is being prosecuted by the Buhari-led Federal Government for allegedly misappropriating $2.1 billion meant for purchase of arms to fight Boko Haram. A fierce critic of the All Progressives Congress-led government, Fani-Kayode was reiterating his stance that the present administration is equally corrupt following a two-batch list of “looters” announced by the Federal Government last week. Fani-Kayode and other Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwarts were named on the list announced by Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Laid Mohammed. A key member of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation in 2015, Fani-Kayode urged the Buhari administration to look inwards instead of always pointing accusing fingers at the PDP for the rot in the polity.

Christiana Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, recently stated in an interview that the Earth is already over burdened with people and that we should look at depopulating the planet. “There is pressure in the system to go toward that; we can definitely change those, right? We can definitely change those numbers,” Figueres stated. “Really, we should make every effort to change those numbers because we are already, today, already exceeding the planet’s planetary carrying capacity.” she claimed. “So yes we should do everything possible. But we cannot fall into the very simplistic opinion of saying just by curtailing population then we’ve solved the problem. It is not either/or, it is an and/also.” Figueres continued. Figueres also blatantly stated earlier this year that the true purpose of the entire global warming scare is to kill off capitalism. Now, even after this admission, she’s claiming we need to get rid o

Ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar Blast President Buhari “Calls Him An Ingrate” Atiku’s comments were made on the Hausa service of the Voice of America (VOA). On the program, Atiku bitterly complained that he’s been sidelined by the APC led administration at the center which he contributed to enthroning, simply because the main Buahri is longer on the throne “Honestly speaking, I was a member of the APC; I was part of all the processes, including campaigns until success was achieved,” Atiku was quoted as saying. “But sadly, soon after the formation of government; I was side-lined, I have no any relationship with the government, I’ve not been contacted even once to comment on anything and in turn, I maintained my distance. They used our money and influence to get to where they’re but three years down the lane, this is where we are.” Atiku’s comments arrive just hours after a Minister in Buhari’s cabinet, Aisha Alhassan, said the former Vice President is her godfath

South African anti-apartheid campaigner Winnie Mandela has died aged 81, her personal assistant Zodwa Zwane says. The firebrand activist died in a Johannesburg hospital, her family said, adding that she had "fought valiantly against the Apartheid state" and that she was known "far and wide as the Mother of the Nation". Winnie Mandela, who was married to Nelson Mandela for 38 years, played a high-profile role in the struggle to end white-minority rule, but her place in history was stained by controversy and accusations of violence. Leading the tributes, Nobel laureate archbishop Desmond Tutu described her as "a defining symbol" of the battle against oppression.

We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it's leadership worldwide once again warn Chief John Nnia Nwodo of Ohaneze Ndigbo not to dare hold the Fulani sponsored Igbo summit in Enugu as earlier warned by the movement. IPOB warned Nnia Nwodo and his collaborators in crime not dare IPOB or face the consequences from the youth. We respect and recognise our elders including freedom of speech and assembly but not one designed to enslave us in the deadly Nigerian contraption for another 100 years. We are well aware of the nocturnal meetings between Nnia Nwodo and a certain Brigadier General affiliated to the GOC of 82 Division Enugu. The same people Ohaneze Ndigbo and South East governors ran to and convinced to launch Operation Python Dance II are the same people Nnia Nwodo and his Ohaneze Ndigbo are running to now for security. If Ohaneze Ndigbo likes let them surround the venue with armored tanks and Fulani soldiers, one this is certain, the summit will not hold unless Nnia Nwod
