South East House Of Reps. Members Demand Referendum Members of the House of Representatives from the South-East geopolitical zone have called for a provision for referendum in the Nigerian constitution to open up avenues for discussions on self-determination by Nigerians. They also insisted that Nigeria was due for restructuring and that it would be done, no matter how long it would take. The 1999 Constitution makes no provision for a referendum, leaving the National Assembly as the only legal representative gathering for deliberations on the governance of Nigeria. But South-East lawmakers, who spoke with Sunday PUNCH, said a provision for referendum was long due because it was part of the fundamental rights of the people to self-determination. They noted that a referendum and the debate on restructuring of Nigeria were tied together. The members were embittered that a South-East Development Commission Bill, which they introduced as a vehicle to develop the region, was ...

All We Need Is Biafra And Nothing More, You Cannot Bribe Us With Igbo Presidency! Sick Buhari The National Director of Information of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Comrade Edeson Samuel, has declared ‘no going back’ on the the call for Biafra secession. Edeson, who made this disclosure during an interactive session with Journalists on Sunday, insisted that the Igbos are marginalised and are counted as third class citizens in the political entity called Nigeria. When asked if peradventure an Igbo man becomes the President of Nigeria, would the region still continue the agitation for Biafra, he said: “Yes. We will continue, because as I told you, our aim is to achieve Biafra, nothing more than that. If an Igbo man becomes the President, he will not have the power to control the security of Nigeria, the economy of Nigeria, and other things.” He added: “The main reason we are agitating for Biafra, is that we need freedom. We want ...

Real Madrid win Champions League as Cristiano Ronaldo double defeats Juve Juventus 1 Home team scorers Mario Mandzukic 27   Real Madrid 4 Away team scorers Cristiano Ronaldo 20 Carlos Casemiro 61 Cristiano Ronaldo 64 Marco Asensio 90 In the end it came down to a sight that, by now, everyone in football should be familiar with Cristiano Ronaldo – gelled hair, polished teeth, magic in his boots will never forget the night he scored the 600th goal of an almost implausible brilliant career. It was the moment everyone knew the Champions League trophy on its way back to the Bernabéu and once again, that the four-time Balon d’Or winner had left his imprint all over another final. Ronaldo had scored twice on a night when he also leapfrogged Lionel Messi as the competition’s leading scorer. No doubt he will enjoy that, too, but the real prize here was to be part of a side that has now lifted European football’s most coveted trophy three t...

Tinubu Replies Buhari: I Will Crush The North And Divide Nigeria, If They Dare Resist Restructuring Senator Femi Okurounmu, gave the warning while reacting to a statement credited to the Buhari, through the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, saying Nigeria cannot be restructured now, until the Constitution is amended. Speaking with Okurounmu, he said: “I am not surprised by the statement of the AGF, that the North will not support restructuring. The North does not want the status quo to change. “They have always seen themselves as the only people fit to rule Nigeria. Anyway, we did not expect them to say otherwise; we must now force them. “The people supporting restructuring are in the majority; hence, the minority cannot override us. And if they don’t want, we can then break Nigeria into two. “They can go their own, and we go on our way. That is the solution. We should stop asking them, but force it on them, whether they want i...

French President Calls Trump, Threatens To Break 240-Year-Old Tradition If you watched President Trump announce his decision to pull out of the Paris Climate Accord yesterday, you were likely THRILLED. It turns out that the French are not quite as happy. We wonder why! Reuters reported that French President Emmanuel Macron called our president last night after Trump’s announcement to leave the Paris Climate Accord. The call was short and boiled down to this: there will be no negotiation to enter back into the environmental group. Macron said that we can still work together, but no discussion of climate issues will occur. Wow. If Macron understood how badly being part of the Paris Climate Accord hurt our country, he might reconsider. Instead, he is coming off as a selfish leader who isn’t getting his way. President Trump made the call because our nation NEEDS to free up money, get more jobs going, and bring our country back from the depths of the Obama administration. On...

The Nigeria Civil War against Biafra remains the most untold story in the world. No one has ever really scratched the surface of it. Below reveal some of the indicative true nature of the war that shows how even our most loved leaders failed humanity. “I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary, no UN delegation. I want to prevent even one Ibo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the centre of Ibo territory, we shoot at everything, even things that do not move” (Benjamin Adekunle, Commander, 3rd Marine Commander Division, Nigerian Army to French Radio Reporter). “All is fair in war, and starvation is one of the weapons of war. I don’t see why we should feed our enemies fat in order for them to fight harder”, (Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Nigerian Minister of Finance, July 28, 1969) “Federal troops killed, or stood while mobs killed, more than 5000...

Independence Day Bombing: Court strikes out treason charge against Charles Okah A Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out one of the charges brought against the alleged mastermind of the 2010 Independence Day bombing, Charles Okah. Justice Gabriel Kolawole said he was dismissing the charge because evidence cited in court did not prove that President Goodluck Jonathan, who was at Eagle Square, the target of the blast, was intimidated by the attack. He said the evidence before him failed to prove that Mr. Jonathan was sneaked out of Eagle Square, venue of the 50th anniversary celebration of Nigeria’s independence. Mr. Kolawole said the evidence did not prove a case of treason as contained in count one of the charge. He also said the evidence cited by the prosecution failed to prove that governors who attended a meeting on March 15, 2010 in Warri, Delta State, where another blast occured, were also intimidated. He however dismissed a no-case submission filed by Mr. Ok...
