August 3, 2023 Press Statement PDP Mocks APC Over Appointment of Ganduje as National Chairman …Says APC is Party of Thieves, Treasury Looters  The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lambasts the All Progressives Congress (APC) for choosing the ethically challenged former Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, as its National Chairman. The choice of Dr. Ganduje by the APC as its National Chairman, in spite of the stinking corruption and bribery allegations against him in the public domain, further confirms that the APC is a cesspit of corruption and a haven for thieves, bribe takers and treasury looters. By appointing Ganduje, notoriously referred to as “Gandola” by Nigerians over the infamous video of him barefacedly stuffing his gown with US Dollar notes as bribe allegedly from a contractor, while serving as Governor of Kano State, further validates that the APC is a putrid Party of embezzlers and charlatans. It also underscores APC’s impunity and insensitivity to the demands ...

China to limit teenagers' smartphone use to a maximum of two hours a day in bid to prevent addiction to mobiles China's internet regulator have announced plans to crack down on how much time teenagers are allowed to spend on their phones, limiting screen time to a maximum of just two hours a day. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said it wanted to mandate so-called 'minor mode programmes' for smart devices that would ban users under-18 from accessing the internet between 10pm to 6am. The CAC also said that the programmes would give users aged 16 to 18 two hours of screen time a day, while users under 16 would get just one hour per day. Users under eight would get just eight minutes to use devices.   While the regulator said that the proposed reforms would give parents the option to opt out of the limits, this did little to soothe furious tech investors.  Xia Hailong, a lawyer at the Shanghai Shenlun law firm, said the rules would be a headache for the interne...
