 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics.

IMO GUBER: MBAKA'S PROPHEST CONTEMPT OF COURT-GOV. IHEDIOHA.{PHOTOS}.


     Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has said he is not perturbed about the prophesy of Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, adding that his prophesy has made he, Mbaka, a laughing stock.
Mbaka had prophesied that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Hope Uzodinma, would emerge victorious at the Supreme Court where he and another governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Ifeanyi Araraume, are challenging the victory of Ihedioha.
While cautioning Mbaka on the consequences of his prophesy, the governor who responded through his Senior Special Adviser on Media, Steve Osuji, described the prophesy as contempt of court.
“No matter the garb with which Father Mbaka dresses his comments, what he has said represents a calculated contempt of the highest court in the land, and we believe judicial notice has been taken. This is an unprecedented law in cases of contempt. Even if Fr Mbaka claims to be illiterate or ignorant, these are not excuses in law,” he said.
The governor added: “We are not perturbed by Fr Mbaka’s vituperation. (For reasons) best known to him, he now dances naked; the whole world has seen through his antics and the farce he presents as prophesy every time.”
He added: “Recently, we saw his attempt to publicly arm-twist Peter Obi to dole out money to him; once again, Fr Mbaka has made himself a laughing stock by making yet another wild and unguarded utterance in the name of prophecy.“If only he knew that by a recent Supreme Court judgement, his HOPE ceased to be a candidate in the last election” Governor Ihedioha affirmed.

While cautioning Mbaka on the consequences of his prophesy, the governor said: “Further, we take solace in the Holy Bible which is replete with warnings about false prophets''.
