 Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has approved the involvement of IPOB’s Eastern Security Network (ESN) to confront Fulani herdsmen and protect Abia farmers, following the continued inaction of Nigerian security forces. "If the Nigerian police and military refuse to act against these bandits, I have no choice but to authorize the ESN to defend Abia State. Sometimes, madness can only respond to madness," the governor stated. He further emphasized that the security agencies are fully aware of the ongoing attacks across Nigeria but have consistently refused to intervene. "I will arm the ESN—the only force the Fulani herdsmen truly fear," he declared.

(Photo by Pablo Cuadra/Getty Images for Disney) Dozens of dwarf actors will be protesting Disney Studios after they decided to use CGI for the seven dwarfs rather than hiring them for the live-action “Snow White” remake. “The whole point of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is right up there in the title,” stated 3ft 8in tall actress Ali Chapman. “The seven dwarfs were the stars of the original 1937 film which is a classic loved by millions of people,” she stated. “Disney has made a live-action film and instead of giving seven talented little people the chance to shine they’ve scrapped us completely and used CGI instead.” “It’s a total travesty and there are a lot of angry little people actors and actresses out there,” Chapman continued. “People are flying in from all over the world to tell Disney this isn’t acceptable.” Meanwhile, Chapman’s husband, who also has dwarf...

At least 18 people have died as multiple wildfires rage across South Korea's southeastern region, with thousands of firefighters aided by the military deployed in a bid to contain one of the country's worst forest fires in decades. The deadly wildfires have spread rapidly and forced more than 27,000 residents to flee their homes, the government said. The blazes, fueled by strong winds and dry weather, have razed entire neighborhoods, closed schools and forced authorities to transfer hundreds of inmates from prisons. "We are deploying all available personnel and equipment in response to the worst wildfires ever but the situation is not good," Acting President Han Duck-soo said, adding that the U.S. military in Korea was also assisting. As of Wednesday at 5 a.m. (2100 GMT), 14 people had died in a wildfire starting from Uiseong county, while four other deaths were linked to another fire from Sancheong county, according to the Safety Ministry. Many of those who had peris...

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir visits Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. March 18, 2025. Israel stands on the precipice of a decisive victory over its adversaries. As the military campaign in Gaza resumes,   Hamas  finds itself with almost no options and even fewer allies. Its infrastructure is decimated and its argument that the war with Israel was over has been unraveled. Meanwhile, the  Houthis  are preoccupied with their own battles against US forces. Hezbollah finds itself deeply wounded and withdrawn from southern Lebanon and Syria and unable to help Hamas. Similarly, Iran is in no position to help or support Hamas at this time. Israel, undeterred, continues its operations in Gaza, while Hamas struggles to assert any meaningful control. This decisive shift is further reinforced by a looming geopolitical earthquake: the  Saudi-Israel-US normalization deal. The Arab world is realigning, and Hamas – along with Iran and its proxies – can see the writing on the w...

The headquarters of the Department of Education are shown March 12, 2025 in Washington, DC. The Department of Education announced yesterday that it will reduce its staff by nearly 50%, leaving the department with 2,183 workers, a reduction from 4,133 when U.S. President Donald Trump took office for his second term.

In a pioneering ruling, Nigeria's Chief Justice, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, ordered Nnamdi Kanu's immediate repatriation to Kenya, denouncing how he was returned to Nigeria. In an official letter to the Kenyan government, she also apologized for Nigeria's "unruly behaviour" in Kanu's extradition case. Justice Kekere-Ekun, who recently took office as Nigeria's Chief Justice, stated unequivocally that she lacked jurisdiction to rule over Kanu's case due to the illegality of his extradition. "Nnamdi Kanu was forced to return to Nigeria in contravention of both international and Kenyan law. On what legal basis can I pursue this case? It is a farce of justice, an insult to my profession, and a betrayal of the years of academic and legal experience I have gained," she said. She went on to explain that Justice Binta Nyako, who had previously handled the matter, had withdrawn due to its explosive character. "This case is a suicide mission—a ti...

Northerners are no fools.  Yakassai to Governor Wike of Rivers State.  A betrayal of his people cannot be trusted, Northern Elders to Wike..  Nyesom Wike threatened the North and Southwest when Goodluck Jonathan lost election in 2015. Nyesom Wike said he would lead a war against Nigeria like Ojukwu if any attempt to rob Rivers State the way we robbed Goodluck Jonathan. Nyesom Wike said we had tactically shared the country, and they would not allow us use their resources to develop our states. I was surprised when he killed IPOB members, denied his Igbo origin and donated N500 million to Sokoto. I know he wants to satisfy the North because of his Vice Presidential ambition with Aminu Tambuwal under PDP. Unfortunately for him, Northerners are no fools. - Tanko Yankassai

Speaking on Saturday, President Trump ordered a series of airstrikes within Yemen, targeting Houthi-controlled areas in response to the terror groups attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. “Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones,” President Trump wrote on Saturday. “It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and target our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at ris...

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins arrives to speak to the press outside the White House on February 14, 2025 in Washington, DC. The U.S. Senate confirmed Rollins yesterday to be the 33rd U.S. Secretary of Agriculture by a vote of 72-to-28. (Photo by Kayla Bartkowski/Getty Images) Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, has stopped funding for a $397,000 grant to educate transgender farmers in Northern California. Rollins announced the cancellation of the grant in a video on Wednesday. That grant was a 2023 award to the Agroecology Commons, according to  Civil Eats. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was reportedly using the funds to educate queer, Black and indigenous, and transgender farmers and consumers in the San Francisco Bay area about “food justice and values-aligned markets.” The secretary also teased that there is more action to come as the Trump administration seeks to eliminate wasteful Biden-era programs and initiatives. Her announcement c...
