“He also revoked their membership of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council and cancelled any appointment they may be holding in government committees until the suspension is lifted.

“The suspension may be lifted at the end of one year, renewed or upgraded in the intervening period depending on government’s review of the conduct of the errant royal fathers.

“In leaving their respective domains without notifying either the state or their respective local governments, the traditional rulers had violated the code of conduct prescribed for their office.”


Reacting to the suspension by the governor, one of the 12 traditional rulers suspended has described the government’s action as unfortunate and that the governor was ill advised on the matter.

He said, “It’s unfortunate and laughable that our dear governor had to carry out this despotic action in a democratic dispensation.

“Why should a governor of a state punish his subjects, especially, traditional rulers, for trying to see their president?

“The government said we didn’t get clearance from it before travelling outside the state. Don’t we have our fundamental rights of movement and association any more? Are we in a state of emergency or war?

“We pray Obiano will not attract some kind of wrath upon himself because of his desperation to perpetuate the infamous government of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the state.”

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

                 Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, used a private jet to fly his wife and children to the United Kingdom in violation of the closure of the Nigerian airspace during COVID-19 lockdown across the country. The Nigerian Government had announced that only essential travels will be permitted by air across the country but flight manifest sighted by SaharaReporters shows that  Emefiele used a private jet – a Global Express Bombardier 550 luxury jet with registration number N104DA – belonging to businessman, Aliko Dangote. It costs at least $10,000 per hour – about N3.8m – to fly on this luxury jet.         The flight was operated by Executive Jet Services co-owned by Dangote and Sam Iwajoku – the  same company embroiled in a recent controversy over the violation of the nation’s lockdown  by flying musician, Naira Marley, to Abuja from Lagos to perform at a concert at Jabi Lake Mall.  The jet carried Mrs Margaret Emefiele, his sons – Godwin Pammichukwu Jnr. and

                  We reported on this blog when a rapper August Alsina claimed that he had been in a relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith and that Will Smith gave his blessing. When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship." "I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken," she countered. The pair have been married since 1997, have two children together, and said they are currently back together after a split. On what Alsina said about Will Smith giving his blessing, making people believe they were in open marriage, Pinkett Smith said,
