     The Lagos State Government, on Sunday, attributed the refuse on Akobi Crescent in Surulere after the recent rainfall to ongoing dredging work in the area. A statement issued today by the Honourable Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tunji Bello, in reaction to the video trending on social media, stated that the convergence was due to dredging of system 6c downstream from LUTH and the blockade at Ak obi Crescent. He added that the blockage at Akobi Crescent end resulted from nonchalant attitude of residents but gave an assurance that procedures are in place to facilitate the speedy completion of the dredging and clearing from LUTH in Idi-Araba by the contractor.

IPOB, SELF-PROCLAIMED JEWS, USING CHRISTIANITY TO WAGE WAR AGAINST THE NIGERIAN STATE-PRESIDENCY.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
      The Presidency wishes to draw the attention of all citizens and the international community to a most misleading campaign spearheaded by the so-called Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) using false allegations of persecution of Christians against the Nigerian State. A very deep and wide investigation by an agency of the Nigerian government, working with international partners have made us become aware that there are two, interconnected campaigns being run concurrently by the IPOB in this regard. Both are using the cover of Christianity – and calling for a US Special Envoy to be appointed to stop the “genocide” of Christians in Nigeria. But the real purpose is to drive a wedge between the Nigeria government and its US and UK/European allies. IPOB leadership of course self-proclaims as “Jewish,” a position not shared by the generality of the members. For reasons of convenience, he claims to have an interest in the welfare of Christians – but this is a ruse: the case for in

CHIEF UWAZURUIKE DISSOLVES MASSOB,MERGED IT WITH IPOB,HANDS OVER BIAFRA STRUGGLE LEADERSHIP TO NNAMDI KANU.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

     I Chief Uwazurike. Using this opportunity to declare to you Dearest country men/women, that the struggle for Biafra has never been something for one man, each epoch, God raises men to avow Biafra. In the late 60s it was Ojukwu, in the early 2000s it was me. Now is a new epoch when the mantle has to fall into a stronger hand that will match the strength of Biafran enemies. NNAMDI Kanu is my son, for whatever reason a father cannot reject or abandon his son. When I saw his passion for Biafra I also knew he had a lot to contribute to this mission. He is not calm like me, his blood is a lot hot than any I had seen. Many things have played out between us but I am ever willing to let go for the sake of Biafra. Let it not be a quarrel that will prevent the coming of Biafra. My only wish is that everyone will look upon him as the face of the modern Biafran struggle and I therefore confer on him, by the power vested on me, the prime ambassador of Biafra. Lastly, I hereby dissolve MASS

       By YakubuLamai The attention of the Directorate of Strategic Communication & Press Affairs to His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi A. Sule of Nasarawa State has been drawn to a malicious report by Linus Oota and published in THE NATION Newspaper of Saturday June 6th 2020 which is fast gaining traction online on such platforms as OPERANEWS. The report originally written by Linus Oota alleged that: “Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has said that he is not bothered about being re-elected in 2023” and that the Governor sees his “four-year mandate” as “a period he deems long enough for him to contribute his quota to the development of the state” and that Governor Sule was: “ready to return to the US or Saudi Arabia to enjoy his life after his four-year mandate!” This is a hatchet job executed with singular wickedness by Mr. Linus Oota of THE NATION Newspaper, because it defies all logic that Linus was the ONLY journalist out of over 50 journalists, who took the liber
