De-registration: Supreme Court judgement binding only on NUP – CUPP
The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has insisted that the recent Supreme Court judgement affirming the de-registration of 74 political parties is only binding on the National Unity Party (NUP). CUPP maintained that the judgment does not, in any way, bind on the 22 political parties which got victory at the Court of Appeal as they are not parties before the Supreme Court in NUP’s case and their prayers before the courts are also different. On August 10, 2020, the Court of Appeal in Appeal No. CA/ABJ/CV/507/2020, between Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD) & 21 others, and Attorney General of the Federation & INEC ruled that the de-registration of the 22 political parties was unconstitutional and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to relist the...

Ted Nugent Says He ‘Knocked the Shit Out’ of COVID With Fake Science
Ted Nugent has “knocked the shit out” of COVID-19, according to a recent YouTube livestream held by the guitarist. The “Cat Scratch Fever” rocker claims he beat the deadly disease he originally believed was “a leftist scam” and still doesn’t seem to understand, by using a combination of diet, vitamins, and medication that has been scientifically proven not to work. Of course, he also received some “intelligent, professionally guided care” from the misinformation experts at America’s Frontline Doctors — the ones who backed the now-debunked hydroxychloroquine treatment for COVID promoted by the disgraced former host of The Apprentice. “I eat in smart proportions, and I eat wild game, and I eat organic vegetables by the bucketful,” the Nuge said when asked by his wife Shemane h...
