      PDP Vice Presidential Candidate and Former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Obi has declared that the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi lacks the competence to talk about which geo-political zone will produce the President in 2023 because he lacks political relevance in Rivers State. Addressing journalists after the lecture/book presentation in honour of Rivers State Gover nor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike in Port Harcourt on Monday, Peter Obi wondered why Amaechi who is not from South East would want to speak for the zone. Flanked by Senator Uche Ekwunife and Senator-Elect, Sandy Onoh, Obi said: "Amaechi is not from the South East, so he cannot speak for us. "He is not in any position to make such statements because even him that is in APC, he did not contribute anything to the success of that election. "He did not even achieve anything in his own state. Those of us from the South East who are from the PDP contributed to the success of our party&

      Protocol 1. It is with great joy that we are gathered here to witness yet another milestone in the history of the Nigerian Army. This event as you may have known is the presentation of appointment letter to the Vice Chancellor of the Nigerian Army premier educational institution, Nigerian Army University Biu. You will recall that the institution was approved by the Federal Executive Council on 3 April 2018 and was followed with an elaborate Ground Breaking Ceremony on 30 October 2018 at the University’s permanent site in Biu.

    According to the magazine '' It was 2011, and the   Kardashians   were on vacation in Bora Bora, where wooden bungalows crouch directly above sparkling ocean. Kris Jenner stood by the water, wearing a fluffy white bathrobe and concerned facial expression. A pre-makeover   Kim Kardashian , then married to Kanye West's direct opposite, sobbed inconsolably. Her $75,000 diamond earring was   gone . As Jenner made soothing noises, a cameraman tracked Kardashian's eldest sister emerging from her accommodation in the distance, cradling a toddler. When made aware of the jewelry emergency, she failed to emote anything resembling concern. "Kim," she instead called out in monotone. "There's people that are dying." That's Kourtney. A blank faced deliverer of sardonic one-liners, like Daria moved to Calabasas and became an Armenian reality television star post-Lawndale. A woman so blasé that she once called off her own wedding without changi
