 Florida woman who had worked at IHOP for 13 years was let go right before the holidays for feeding a homeless man. Victoria Hughes had worked at the IHOP in Lakeland, Florida for 13 years and felt she had some measure of job security... until an act of charity cost her, her job. Victoria says last Sunday, November 24th, a homeless man came inside of the restaurant and complained of extreme hunger.

 LP crisis: Abure begs Obi, Otti, others to return The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has appealed to the party’s 2023 presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi, Abia State Governor, Alex Otti and other aggrieved bigwigs to return to the party. Abure made the plea in an exclusive interview with Saturday PUNCH. The embattled chairman had been at loggerheads with chieftains and stakeholders of the party who kicked against his reelection on the ground that the controversial Nnewi convention that returned him to office wasn’t an all-inclusive and expansive one. Consequently, Obi, Otti and some party stakeholders in July this year, set up a 29-man caretaker committee. The committee, headed by a former minister of finance, Nnenadi Usman, was saddled with a mandate to conduct an expanded election to birth new executives at the ward, local government, state and national levels. However, following his victory at a Federal High Court in Abuja, which reaffirmed him as the auth...
