Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, may have technically bowed out of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, as he has on Sunday, August 21, refused to refute the allegation of picking the 2019 Presidential ticket of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Atiku, who was reacting to a story in a national newspaper which linked him with the crisis in the PDP, simply said, “I have no hands in PDP’s crisis”. And refused to comment on his planned defection from the All Progressives Congress, APC. In a post on Twitter by his media office, Atiku said he had no hand in the PDP problem. “Former VP @Atiku has no hand in PDP crisis.” Recall, that a Factional National Chairman of the PDP, Ali Modu-Sheriff, had last Wednesday, alleged that the rival Ahmed Makarfi Faction in collaboration with some PDP Governors, were planning to hand over the party’s 2019 presidential ticket to an unnamed founder of the party, currently in the APC. Atiku, had previously in 2011, unsuccessful...

There are more dangerous things than an angry woman, believe it or not. Beyond guns, you’d be surprised to learn which weapons can do the most damage. Perhaps it’s our obsession with Forensic Files or just being a curious bunch, but we decided to put together a list for all of you who are interested to learn about some of these instruments of destruction. Flamethrower As you probably know, a flamethrower is an incendiary device that projects a long stream of fire. They were first used during World War I and then in other wars, often considered one of the most horrific ways to die. They were developed as a shock weapon and to penetrate the trench defensive. In terms of negatives: The range isn’t far when using one of these and it’s extremely dangerous to carry as you have flammable liquid on your back (not smart). Improved_M249_Machine_Gun There are different kinds of machine guns, so we’ll focus on the smaller ones such as the above M249. It’s one of the sa...

The APC government in Edo state hates Christians which is why the comrade governor and his team which is Obaseki and others are fighting so hard to remove all churches from the GRA in Benin city. Though the comrade governor does not have respect for elder statesmen in the state like Chief Anenih and the Esama of Benin Chief Igbinedion, he has tuned up his disrespect to include God and Christians by agitating for and ordering the removal and relocation of Christian worship centers   from the GRA. Residents of the area who go to church should note that if the evil APC wins the forth coming elections their faith will come under serious challenge. A man, especially an African man who publicly insults his elders indiscriminately because of the game of politics is an irresponsible man. A man fleeting between insulting the elders today and apologizing to them tomorrow only to insult them again the day after has dementia. Christians should beware of the devil incarnate ...

By Tunde Rahman Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied the accusation linking him with the current crisis tearing at the heart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The factional Chairman of the opposition party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, claimed the quest for the party’s presidential ticket for the 2019 election was the main cause of the PDP crisis. He had also alleged that one of the party’s founding fathers had a hand in it all. In a recent interview with African Independent Television (AIT), the embattled chairman accused Governor Nyesom Wike and former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, of plotting to hand over the party’s presidential ticket to a prominent leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC). “Wike and Secondus are working to give the party’s ticket in 2019 to a man in APC, a man that is not even bold enough to leave the APC and join us. He was in the PDP before. He was a founding father of the PDP,” Sheriff said, adding,...

This is the hospital that Adams Oshiomhole bought for his son, Dr Oshioneh Oshiomhole in Boston Massachusetts, United States of America The question on the lips of everyone in Edo state now, especially the pensioners and local government workers, is how could an Oshiomhole who was only a textile worker and labour leader earning less than 200,000 naira monthly be able to by this sort of hospital in America? Dr Oshioneh Oshiomhole and his cousin, Promise King How could Adams Oshiomhole complete his own private Hospital for his son within six months but has not been able to complete Central Hospital annex for over six years? Is this corruption what they want us to continue by all means?

After a closed door meeting held yesterday at the PDP Governorship campaign head quarters, the indications are strong that the PDP has put in place positive measures to mobilize the youths all over the state towards voting for PDP and checkmating any form of electoral malpractice by the Oshiomole led APC. The indications that the PDP is going all out to make sure the 2016 governorship election in the state is free and fair is highlighted by statements made by the PDP governorship candidate Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and the partys Youth Mobilization chairman Hon. Daniel Asekhame. Earlier in the week Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu stated at the ongoing Civil Society Interactive Session with Gubernatorial Candidates holding at Bishop Kelly Pastoral Centre, Benin City that “This election cannot be rigged. This election cannot be rigged. We will defend our vote and the people’s mandate.” In the same vein Hon. Asekhame told Vanguard that the PDP has mechanism in place to checkmate ...

By Kingsley Kanayo The move by President Muhammadu Buhari to secure emergency powers aimed at addressing the nation’s economic crisis may not see the light of the day, as senators yesterday rejected the proposed bill, saying Buhari was seeking to transform himself into a tyrant and would foist a dictatorship on the nation. The bill entitled, “Emergency Economy Stabilisation Bill 2016”, will be sent to the National Assembly by the president upon resumption from its summer vacation and after the Eid el Kabir holidays. However, given the reaction of some senators to the proposed emergency powers being sought by Buhari through the bill, the legislation may be thrown out. Thisday reports that several senators, Monday vehemently kicked against it, adding that it was “dead on arrival”. According to the senators, who did not want to be named, some of the provisions in the bill were unnecessary, describing it as nothing more than a subtle way of avoiding counterpart ...

Hon Daniel Asekhame - Vanguard The chairman for the PDP Youth Mobilization drive in Edo state Hon Daniel Asekhame in continuation of his tour of Edo state today reiterated his stance on rigging in the forthcoming elections after his meeting with youths in Benin city, Edo south senatorial zone. He told Vanguard that the PDP has mechanism in place to checkmate the APCs rumored plans to rig the duo of Obaseki and Shuaibu into the goverenors office in the 2016 elections in the state.

All Edo state youth should be alert and guard their mandate jealously as the APC apparently aware of their unpopularity in the state and are sure to lose the coming election are desperately planning on unhinging the peace in the state”. ...

The internet is an interesting place. You can find everything. Seriously. Everything from how quantum physics works to the best sheep shearing techniques, the internet has it all. Want to learn to swim? Internet. Get a job? Internet. Find a cool cafe? Internet. Get a degree? Internet. How did we even live before this? Well, we did, somehow. The truth is that the internet has done a lot of good. Actually, that’s an understatement. It has almost single-handedly perpetuated revolutions (the Arab Spring). As with most things, however, there is a downside. The good thing, of course, is that everyone has a platform. The bad thing? That everyone has a platform. As engineers would say, the signal to noise ratio is pretty low. For every useful piece of information (signal), there is quite a bit of spam (noise). Today, that is where our focus will be. We are interested not only in the loudest “noise,” but also the most harmful and wrong “noise.” As you can imagine, the internet has n...

Sheriff said  though the judgment did not affect him in anyway, however disclosed that he  has appealed it and asked for stay of execution. Justice Valentine Ashi ha...

By Mark Cartwright A gladiator was a professional fighter who specialised with particular weapons and fought before the public in large purpose-built arenas throughout the Roman Empire from 105 BCE to 404 CE (official contests). As fights were usually to the death, gladiators had a short life expectancy and so, although it was in some respects a glamorous profession, the majority of fighters were slaves, former slaves or condemned prisoners. Without doubt, gladiator spectacles were one of the most watched forms of popular entertainment in the Roman world. ETRUSCAN ORIGINS The Romans were influenced by their predecessors in Italy, the Etruscans, in many ways. For example, in the use of animal sacrifice for divining the future, the use of the symbolic fasces and organising gladiatorial games. The Etruscans associated these contests with the rites of death and so they had a certain religious significance. Although the first privately organised Roman gladiator contests i...
