SECESSION REVOLT IN CAMEROON: NIGERIA TO WELCOME THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES FROM CAMEROON.

Image
        A secessionist revolt is gaining ground in the English-speaking west of Cameroon, but for lack of charismatic local leaders, the impetus is coming from the diaspora, analysts say. On October 1, secessionist militants proclaimed the independence of Ambazonia, the name they give to the two anglophone regions, provoking a crackdown by President Paul Biya's security forces that left dozens dead and many injured. The upheaval, which broke out at the end of 2016 and threatens to become an “armed insurrection” according to the International Crisis Group (ICG), was at first motivated by the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium (CACSC), locally known as “the Consortium”. Formed in December 2016, the Consortium chaired by Felix Khongo Agbor Balla comprised four lawyers’ associations and several teachers’ unions, sharing a moderate attitude in favour of federal ties with the larger French-speaking parts of the country. In January, the Consortium was dissolv...

ADELE OFFERED MILLIONS OF POUNDS TO MOVE TO LAS VEGAS FOR 12-MONTHS.{PHOTOS}.

Image
        The Sun   reports the Wynn Hotel is seeking to sign Adele on for a 12-month residency in Las Vegas, at the equivalent of £380,000 per show. Just one performance a week, therefore, could net the singer almost £20 million.  "The days of entertainers coming to retire at Vegas are a thing of the past," the source stated. "In the last few years, we have seen massive stars performing on the strip and every major hotel wants to say they have the biggest star as their resident. Caesars Palace had Mariah Carey, Planet Hollywood has Britney Spears, and we want Adele." "Even at half a million bucks a show we are confident we would make a healthy return," they added. Indeed, the five-star hotel already employs David Guetta as an in-house DJ, so Adele isn't that improbable a target, especially as she'd join the likes of Carey, Spears, Celine Dion, Elton John, and Jennifer Lopez - who have all boasted Vegas residencies.More photos below. ...
