2019: Igbo won’t repeat mistake of last election.

2019: Igbo won’t repeat mistake of last election. Chief Francis Eneh from Ebonyi state is a staunch member of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia state. He said the mistake the Igbo made in the 2015 general election would not be repeated in 2019. In the 2015 election, APC did not do well in the South East, is the situation going to be any different in 2019? During the last election in the South East, we did our best, it was just that some people who did not know our mission, sabotaged our efforts, carrying unfounded propaganda that former president Goodluck Jonathan was our brother and that made people of the area to dance towards Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). They were deceived; they didn’t know that APC had a better option and a better way of reorganizing the nation more than the PDP. Take for instance, PDP ruled for 16 years and we are still battling with how to fix Aba-Owerri Road to Ikot Ekpene. But I remembered when President Muhammadu Buhari visited Aba during ...

Islamic State claims responsibility for deadly concert blast in Manchester MANCHESTER, England — The Islamic State claimed Tuesday one of its “soldiers” carried out a deadly blast in Manchester that killed at least 22 people, including teenagers and others streaming out of a pop concert. The Islamic State statement did not give any details about the attacker or how the blast was carried out late Monday. The statement was posted on the online messaging service Telegram and later noted by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant websites. The Islamic State often quickly proclaims links to attacks, but some previous claims have not been proven. British Prime Minister Theresa May called the carnage a “callous, terrorist attack.” “This attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice deliberately targeting innocent defenseless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives,” she said, speaking outside of Dow...

An Alaska man tried to take his life. But the bullet passed through him and killed his girlfriend. Victor Sibson does not remember what happened the night he put a gun to his head, he told police. Shortly after 2 a.m. April 19, the 21 year-old Anchorage man held a handgun to his left temple as he stood in the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, Brittany-Mae Haag. She attempted to grab the gun and stop him from taking his own life, prosecutors believe. Police would later find both Sibson and Haag lying on the floor with gunshot wounds, and only one shell casing on the ground, Assistant District Attorney James Fayette said so. Prosecutors believe the bullet that struck Sibson in the head — just behind his left eye — then hit Haag in the chest as she reached over to him. Fayette, who has been a prosecutor in Anchorage since 1993, said he has never seen a “one-shot” case such as this one. “It’s just compelling and tragic all the way around,” he ...
