STEPANAKERT (Tiraspol Times) - Despite Armenia’s declared position that Kosovo independence will not be
Kosovo's authorities plan to declare independence unilaterally,against the will of Serbia. The United States and most of the EuropeanUnion members have voiced their readiness to recognize Kosovo’sindependence despite Serbian objections.
Will dependence-seeking Kosovo set a precedent for other conflicts elsewhere? The answer is yes, if Kosovo becomes independent. In that case, "extrapolation is inevitable" says Bulgarian Professor of History Nina Dyulgerova.
[1] Over the last 24 hours I have been inundated by my Igbo friends asking for my comments on the Femi Fani-Kayode saga. It appears I am not allowed to maintain dignified silence as Bianca so graciously did. Anyway, I think it is right that I air my thoughts, if for nothing else but to held end this mindless ethnic spat
An Igbo scholar, Dr. Samuel Okafor, has made one-time Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, look so small and uneducated by using facts and figures to demolish the claims he made in the controversial August 8 article, “The Bitter Truth About The Igbo”, which set off a storm that almost threatened Igbo-Yoruba relations.
All Progressives Congress, APC, has yet to gain a solid footing in the South-East geo-political zone than the youth wing of Igbo Socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has threatened to scuttle the newly registered party’s chances of winning elections in the zone in 2015.
Living Faith Church, aka Winner’s Chapel, with headquarters in Otta Ogun State, and owners of Convenant University, was as one of the beneficiaries of the N150 million Colonel Robert Ahangba, stole from Bayelsa state Government.

During both winter and summer, in the same layers and layers of clothes, he sits each morning on the platform of Forest Hills train station. The stench from his body, unwashed for months, hits your nostril from 200 yards. His unkempt hair and beard rest on a heap of clothes stuffed in a plastic bag as he dozes off.
Permit me to make my second and final contribution to the raging debate about Lagos, who owns it and the seemingly endless tensions that exist between the igbo and the yoruba. It is amazing how one or two of the numerous nationalities that make up Nigeria secretly wish that they were yoruba and consistently lay claim to Lagos as being partly theirs. Have they forgotten where they came from?

The former Governor of Abia State has condemned the act by the Lagos State Governor, Raji Fashola over the deportation of Igbos from Lagos and threatens to take him to court. He speaks:
Deporting Nigerians in Nigeria: Lagos State Government tells lies. Initially, a spokesman of the Lagos State Government denied that deportations took place.

The names and the pictures of the 35 Nigerians senators who voted in favour of the controversial underage marriage bill last Tuesday have been revealed.
Women’s rights stakeholders today in Lagos called for Section 29(4) (b), the proposed constitutional provision by which female children would be marriageable, to be expunged from the Nigerian constitution.
Yarima's reply reminds me of Show Promoter's song in which he sang about an incestuous father who defended his heinous act in court with the claim that the girl he abused was his own daughter, born by the woman he married with his own money. He likened it to buying a piece of property and destroying it at will.
Controversial Alhaji Ahmed Sani Yerima, former governor now Senator representing Zamfara West Senatorial District and Deputy Minority Leader in the Senate, has reportedly responded to critics of his recent advocacy for early child marriage.
The much-awaited voting on recommendations of the Senate Committee on the Review of the Constitution took place Tuesday with the parliament throwing out the recommendation of a six-year single term for the president and governors.
For the benefit of all, especially our Irish friends, I would like to start by running a little historical introduction of the Igbo people, and then talk on the similarities of the Igbo and Irish peoples, before exploring areas that would be mutually beneficial to both nations.
