Expose: PDP as Sponsors of Niger Delta Avengers - APC

The All Progressives Congress has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party of sponsoring the new terror group, Niger Delta Avengers, to launch series of attacks against oil pipelines in Nige Delta.


The South South zone of the APC, in a meeting held in Benin City, Edo State, on Friday, condemned the act of sabotage with regards to the renewed attacks in the region, and said the main objective of the Niger Delta Avengers was to frustrate and derail President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.


The APC said: “The zone is cocksure that the nefarious and ruinous activities of the ‘Avengers’ are not driven by any patriotic and altruistic impulse.” In a communiqué issued after the meeting, the party said, “We have compelling reasons to strongly assert that these activities are sponsored and instigated by the opposition PDP to derail and frustrate the APC government of President Muhammadu Buhari because of its determination to fight against corruption, stabilise and put our country on the path of sustainable development.”


The communiqué, signed by APC National Vice-Chairman South South, Hilliard Eta, and Zonal Secretary, Steven Ezekwem, also rejected the inclusion of Niger Delta region in the “imaginary State of Biafra”.


The party, which described the inclusion as “dubious”, said, “Niger Delta is not, cannot and will never be part of Biafra.”

Governor Ambode's Mother Escapes Kidnap In Her Home

Heavily armed gunmen on Friday evening invaded the residence of Christianah Ambode, the mother of Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, disarming the octogenarian’s police detail in an apparent attempt to abduct her, inside sources revealed. The incident occurred at 24 Oguntona Crescent, Gbagada Estate I, Lagos at about 7:30pm. The sources disclosed that police officers manning Mrs. Ambode’s home were “overpowered and dispossessed of their rifles.”


Mrs. Ambode was, however, fortunate, as a swift reinforcement by the state’s police command thwarted the ploy of the assailants, who fled the scene. The back-up team arrived at 8:10pm, the sources said.


A senior Lagos State Government official close to Governor Ambode told PT a commotion occurred near Mrs. Ambode’s home. He, however, denied that it was a case of attempted kidnap.


The source said a man went to invite military personnel attached to Operation Mesa to beat Mrs. Ambode’s police detail after he was ordered not to park his vehicle outside the building.


“We heard from the governor’s security that the matter was not about kidnapping.


What happened was that a man parked his vehicle outside the home of the governor’s mother and the policemen there asked him to take his vehicle away.


“He went to call men of Operation Mesa to deal with the policemen, that was what caused the disturbance.”

Abuja Business Woman's"Disappearance" Causes Confusion

Almost one month after an Abuja-based business woman, Charity Aiyedogbon, went missing from her home in Gwarinpa, family and friends have become more frantic as no clues have yet to come up on what could have happened to the mother of four.


Charity, who is said to be separated from her husband, Mr David, literally vanished without a trace on May 11, as her phone numbers have also remained switched off. The woman posted regularly on her Facebook page under the name Deepdeal Chacha DeHammer until May 11, when she posted a photo of herself sitting in a vehicle with the words: “Road trip” at 9.11am.


She has since disappeared as her friends fear she might have been abducted. Friends, who have since mounted a social media campaign to locate the missing woman, said when they got into her apartment,there was no indication that she was going on any road trip.


According to Punch, after two weeks of going off the radar, her friends visited her apartment and were able to gain access into it in company with her landlady and some security personnel.


In a post by her friends, it was noted that there was no indication that she was going on a road trip as she had no bag packed and every item in her apartment remained unruffled. In addition to that, it was noted that she had a pot of soup on her cooker, which had turned bad after being left for long.


Her friends said that she had previously received some threats from certain undisclosed individuals, which had prompted her to contract a technician to install CCTV in her apartment. It was learnt that attempts had been made to retrieve her call logs, which indicated that the last call from her phone was made on May 9, to a number registered to an individual named Rabi Mohammed. The last received call from another number showed the same date. The police at the Gwarimpa Police Division, where the case was reported, have made little headway in the bid to determine what could have happened to the woman.


But the police say they are on top of the situation.

5 Things About Muhammad Ali You Probably Never Knew

I may not have been a fan of boxing, and I surely wouldn’t have thought i will write a piece about something related, well, yeah i am not, however, I am putting this down in honor of a true legend, Muhammad Ali, the man that taught me resilience.


Watching from the screen in our sitting room, i would often see a man who got knocked down repeatedly, yet he never gave up. At a very young age, i realized it was not just over, being on the ground. Before i learned from Ali, I would always thing it’s best for a man knocked down to stay on the ground, but now, I realized even the ground is not enough to stop a motivated man, this was my first life’s lesson, from Ali. In honor of him, I’ll be listing 5 things about Muhammad Ali you probably never knew about… 1. Ali Changed His Name More Than OnceAccording to his biographer, Davis Miller, “The legend is known that when a young Kentucky-born Cassius Clay joined the Nation of Islam his name was immediately changed to the now iconic Muhammad Ali,” Miller says. “But few know that his first name change was to Cassius X. “It was February 26, 1964 — the morning after he knocked out Sonny Liston. But nearly two weeks later, on March 6, he announced that religious and political leader Elijah Muhammad (who led the Nation of Islam from 1934 until his death in 1975) had given him the new name of Muhammad Ali.”


2. He Is A Sufi “Ali announced that he is a Sufi around 2005, saying that of all of the sects of Islam, he feels the closest connection to Sufism,” says Miller, whose book “Approaching Ali” was released in late 2015. “Sufism is arguably the most peaceful sect of any major or minor religion. Sufis believe that to purposely harm any person is to harm all of humanity, to harm each of us and to damage the world.


“It is the perfect fit for Ali, who had been living in the ways that Sufis do for decades before he’d heard of the religion. “Few people have heard about the profound ways Ali’s faith has evolved over the years. He has been a world soul for many decades; he has grown from separatist to universalist.”


3. He Fought While Injured“Ali had only six weeks to prepare for this contest,” Miller says. “In training, his boyhood friend and former heavyweight champion Jimmy Ellis badly fractured one of Ali’s ribs. “Even with this injury, Ali did not reschedule the fight, being entirely uncertain that if he did, he would ever get the chance to fight again.” 4. Parkinson’s disease has taught him new ways to communicate “The art of the gesture is quite important to him,” Miller says of Ali, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1984 at the age of 42. “He communicates with his hands and fingers, his facial features, his eyes. “He surprises visitors by making a sound with his thumb and index finger that’s not unlike a cricket in your ear. He blows on the top of heads, tickles the inside of palms when he shakes hands, teasing almost everyone who visits him. “Though he can walk, Ali is often seen sitting in a wheelchair or positioned in an easy chair. He is no longer the world’s most vocal and irrepressibly animated person.”


5. He’s an amateur magician“Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, his hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see.” Famous for his pre-fight proto rap rhymes, Ali had some other dazzling tricks. “Until recently, throughout his years with Parkinson’s disease, Ali surprised visitors by performing prestidigitations (sleight of hand tricks),” Miller says. “He made a red silk scarf disappear from his hand, he bit coins in half and made them whole again, and he often performed an old parlor trick — by putting his feet together and rising up on the toes of one foot while keeping his other foot flexed, he could appear to float above the ground.”
