  I cannot speak for the entire Italy but I can, for sure, speak for the region where I am from, the Upper Valley of the river Serio, in the province of Bergamo. In this area there are two villages, Fino del Monte and Rovetta (and to a lesser degree, Clusone, my hometown) that have a very strong relationship with Nigeria (and also Ghana and Benin). When Italy was in abysmal poverty the mountain regions were probably the poorest of all. Emigration was a very common thing and, for some reasons that are not entirely clear to me, instead of emigrating to America, Argentina, France or Switzerland like most Italians did, people from my home province moved first in Ghana (around 1910) and later to the neighbouring countries, with most of them settling in Nigeria. As the stereotype goes for Italians from Bergamo, they were builders and construction workers and soon established thriving businesses in that sector. My two uncles moved there in their twenties and they still own businesses ther...

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers says in-form striker Kelechi Iheanacho can still improve as he still makes too many mistakes despite his recent scoring form.  Iheanacho was on target again as Leicester thrashed West Brom 3-0 on Thursday night to strengthen their top-four ambitions. It was Iheanacho’s 16th goal in 32 appearances in all competitions for Leicester this season. The Foxes are now four points ahead of Chelsea who are currently in fourth position. Rodgers said:“It was a good win, any win is a big win. Our intensity was really good in the first half hour. I wasn’t happy at half time as our passing wasn’t good enough. “I am not thinking about the other teams, we have to think about ourselves. We can only control ourselves. “Jamie Vardy has done it throughout his career and Kelechi Iheanacho is now showing his qualities – he can still improve as he is still making too many mistakes, but he is getting in there. “This group will sometimes lose games but they are so...

  In recent times, I have sat down to observe the Horrors going on in Nigeria. I have engaged people in discussion to get their views and in a deep reflection, all i can see is complete disdain, failure and frustration because every sector has crumbled to irredeemable state. Today, i am not writing as a Biafran like I use to, but as an African, who imagines rapid development across the continent of Africa IF Biafra is restored tomorrow. I am just looking at the versed human and technological resources in Biafra Land and how the continent will flood BIAFRA for different businesses. Nigeria must accept the fact that the major root to our problems is DIVERSITY IN CULTURE AND BELIEFS. This is why we have never been United from inception. No Nation with different cultures and beliefs ever succeeded. Some questions you may ask... Can America and Pakistan exist as a Nation considering the fact that they are people with different value system? NIGERIA was created forcefully by a white m...

  NNAMDI KANU AND THE PROFESSOR (A COMPARISON) Is Nnamdi Kanu just a noise maker or a well calculated planner? Is he a lunatic and a police dog that always bark without biting or a dangerous schemer with efficiently thorough skills? Well, he looks crazy with his mouth always blabbing whenever he is seated behind the microphone but that is not a proof that he is a piece of garbage. There is only one way to find out. Those that have watched the film MONEY HEIST will simply be amazed at the intelligence and smartness of a character called PROFESSOR. His skills are simply amazing, his moves are well calculated, tactical and cuts with the highest precision, he had a way to navigate through every problem though at first he may appear so foolish like a lunatic. I have often heard some people arguing that Kanu is just but a noise maker and a rabble rouser but facts have always disagreed with them. Fact-check: Kanu talks a lot but that never made him any loose, professor contrarily was not....

  Suya isn’t a breakfast food, true, but I’ve never had trouble getting some after work, or for an afternoon snack. It’s usually available by the time folks are getting off work in the early evenings. Now in my old Abuja neighborhood of Jabi, the street stalls didn’t get fired up until dusk, that is true. This was because the sidewalks are unshaded and hot until the sun starts to go down. Also bush bars typically rely on guys grabbing a beer or two after work, before heading home and Jabi food stalls were for neighborhood folks who’d already gotten home, which meant a slightly later crowd. I’m guessing this may be a Lagos question, given how common I’ve seen suya served in the afternoon in both small towns and all around Abuja, along with times I was visiting friends in Jos and Lokoja. If so, I’d guess the notorious Lagos traffic means people get home later and hence the suya sellers plan for night time crowds. Plus Lagos is known for nightlife. There is the magical hour of dusk an...

We have the law for the North and the law for the South. In the North, terrorists are called bandits, government negotiate with them and pay them huge amount of money for their terrorism. In the South, unarmed freedom fighters are called terrorists, government arrest them and even kill them at will. In the North, police don’t arrest criminals or extort motorists. In the South, police arrest innocent citizens and extort motorists. In the North, Islamic police (Hisbah) arrest Nigerian police for drinking alcohol. In the South, police arrest vigilantes that drink alcohol and label them criminals. In the North, Northern youths can kill innocent Southerners and no one will arrest them. In the South, Southern youths get arrested for attacking armed Fulani herdsmen. How will people believe in One Nigeria with these treatments? - Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe

  The Senator representing Abia South Senatorial District at the red chamber of the National Assembly, Distinguished Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe earlier today rebuked the Governor of Bauchi State, His Excellency, Alhaji Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed over his recent speech where he declared that Miyetti Allah Cattle Rearers Association is not a terrorist Organization. His reply was said to have come after an open briefing held at the Bauchi State House yesterday by Governor Mohammed and the Hausa- Fulani herders, Farmers, and Security agencies where the Governor declared support for the Miyetti Allah Organization and announced that Miyetti Allah Cattle Rearers Association is never a terrorist organization unlike the proscribed IPOB. However, Senator Abaribe while addressing men of the press earlier today rebuked Governor Mohammed for supporting evil in the land and inciting the Hausa-Fulani to kill more people all in the name of cattle rearing. According to him,"It's obvious the whole...

Members and Friends of MFM will recall that from the evening of 20th August 2020, one Maureen Badejo has been having a field day broadcasting all manners of falsehood against this Church, its General Overseer and his family, Pastors and members. Aspects of those publications which pertained to MFM International and Dr Olukoya were ventilated in a court case before the High Court of Ogun State, Abeokuta in Suit No. AB/407/2020 in which Judgment was entered in favour of MFM and our General Overseer. Aspects of those broadcasts which pertained to The General Overseer and Mummy GO were filed as a suit in the High Court of London in the Strand, Queen’s Bench Division. In the course of the hearing which was listed at 10.30 am and concluded at 1.05 pm today, April 13, 2021, the evidence was so overwhelming that even Maureen Badejo’s lawyer conceded that her remarks in all those broadcasts were “serious and defamatory” Judgment was pronounced today in which the Court granted an order of perpet...

The leader of IPOB Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wrote in his Twitter Handle "finds a majority of the 1,900 Nigerians killed by terrorists in 2020 were killed by Fulani militants, concentrated in Christian communities. Meanwhile, Buhari’s regime continues its criminal silence! 03/07/2021 Nigeria  (International Christian Concern) – Recent mass kidnappings and a spate of smaller attacks around Nigeria are serving to raise the profile of the often-forgotten trend of increased violence in Africa’s most populous country. Many factors contribute to the violence, including religious tension. The violence in Nigeria comes from a number of different sources. One is the Boko Haram terror group, which has grown significantly in power and destructive ability in the last decade. Now split into two factions, Boko Haram seems to be making a comeback after its territory was significantly reduced in 2015, also the year it pledged allegiance to Islamic State. Boko Haram was responsible for dozens of incidents ...
