One of the suspended traditional rulers in Anambra state, ask Governor Obiano for forgiveness

One of the 12 traditional rulers suspended by Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has asked the governor to forgive him.

Igwe MacAnthony Okonkwo, of Alor Community, Idemili South local government area of Anambra State, has apologized to Governor Obiano and the Anambra State Traditional Rulers’ Council for breaching their codes and conduct.

But others insist that the governor has no right to meddle in their fundamental rights in any way as custodians of the people

Okonkwo of Alor, was among the 12 traditional rulers suspended for one year by the state government for travelling to Abuja reportedly with Prince Arthur Eze, an international oil magnate

It said that the monarchs were suspended because they travelled outside the state without approval by the government.

But reacting at the weekend during a press conference in his palace, the Alor monarch admitted his wrong doing and tendered an “unreserved apology” to Obiano

He said, “It was a serious slip on my part not to have informed the government about the trip to Abuja before embarking on it. I therefore tender an unreserved apology”

Okonkwo denied the rumour that he was induced with money and gifts before agreeing to accompany Prince Eze to see President Buhari.

He said that the money he was seen counting was meant for his driver and other aides for their upkeep and wondered how somebody of his status who had made money before becoming a king would be accused of taking bribe.

“How can they call it bribe? What kind of bribe is that? That is total fallacy? I was counting out money for my driver and other aides for fuel and their welfare.

“I have never taken any bribes in my life from anybody. But if I wish to do, you have to pack Ghana-Must-Go bags of dollars up to 10 or 20, if I receive them, then you will be talking about bribe.”

“Secondly, Ndi Igwe do not have constitutional right to remove the governor or do anything to him. We are not lawmakers who have such constitutional rights” the monarch said

Another traditional ruler who prefer not to be named, said the governor has no constitutional power to suspend a traditional ruler.

He asked, “why would I apologize for going on a business trip? It is ridiculous for any one to think that a first class monarch will tender apology

He maintained that their visit to the Presidential Villa, was to commend president Buhari for the projects his government are carrying out in the state like “the Second Niger Bridge, the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, among others.

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

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,

   Sir Alan Sugar has sparked a racism row with a tweet about Ian wright's suit. The former Arsenal star, 56, appeared on the BBC yesterday wearing a sand-coloured jacket and matching trousers during the televised Fa Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea. The billionaire, 73, tweeted on his Twitter handle taking aim at Wright's dress sense and it backfired spectacularly. Lord Sugar wrote: "That is one hell of a suit @IanWright0 has on. A bit too dark don’t you think. He could be in camouflage on a beach." Many of his followers accused him of racism over the tweet, with one writing: "I don’t get the part: A bit too dark don’t u think ??? "What does that suppose to mean? Dark for what!? Just being racist there." A second added: "It's a beachist tweet, or maybe sandist, but not racist. Woke people jump on everything." Another insisted critics should look at the picture of Ian Wight's suit before judging Lord Sugar's tweet, writing: &q
