Edo APC to appeal Abuja high court judgement
The chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Col David Imuse (rtd), has said that the party would appeal Saturday’s judgement by the Federal High Court, Abuja, which dismissed the alleged certificate forgery suit filed against Governor Godwin Obaseki by the party. The presiding judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, had on Saturday dismissed the suit filed by the APC and a chieftain of the party, Williams Edobor, on the conclusion that the plaintiffs failed to prove their allegations of forgery against Governor Obaseki as it is expected in every criminal matter. “Allegation of forgery borders on crime which must be proved beyond reasonable doubt. In the instant case, no iota of evidence talk-less of a proof beyond reasonable doubt was bro...
Ex-Governor Ngilari: PDP is dead, will be buried in 2023
Former Adamawa Governor Bala James Ngilari, said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has no future in Nigeria because it is a dying party. Ngilari said this at the state All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders meeting on Saturday in Yola. The former governor who defected to APC in 2020, was the PDP’s Adamawa North Senatorial Candidate at the 2019 general election. ” One of the reasons why I dumped PDP for APC is that PDP is a dying party. In fact, PDP is dead and it will be buried in 2023. ” Secondly, I don’t see PDP as an alternative for the future of Nigeria, because the contradictions in the party will make its members go to the graveyard and we will help them bury themselves. ” And the reason why I identified myself with APC is because of its laudable objectives that will take us t...
Xena’s Lucy Lawless Slays Hercules’ Kevin Sorbo for Spreading Misinformation About Capitol Riots
It’s been decades since Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess last had a crossover, but the lead stars of both ’90s shows changed that on social media last night. When Kevin Sorbo, who played the muscular Greek hero, claimed left-wing agitators caused the Capitol insurrection on January 6th, Lucy Lawless herself came to the rescue to obliterate him and stop the spread of misinformation. The digital battle started when Rogan O’Handley, an attorney and Donald Trump supporter, shared a picture of known QAnon and far-right extremists inside the Captiol hallway and suggested they were actually violent Democrats. “Do these look like Trump supporters? Or Leftist agitators disguised as Trump supporters…” he tweeted. Sorbo, who is a Trump supporter himself, amplified that cons...

Laura Branigan Manager Calls Video of Trump Family Blasting ‘Gloria’ Before Right Wing D.C. Riots ‘Absolutely Appalling’
In the clip, Don Jr.’s girlfriend, former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle, is seen dancing gleefully to Branigan’s No. 2 1982 hit “Gloria,” as Trump, daughter Ivanka and his inner circle check out footage of the crowd amassed for his speech. Don Jr. appears to be wearing the exact same suit and shirt he wore to the rally, where “Gloria” was pumped out to the mostly unmasked crowd as it has been at a number of previous Trump rallies. A spokesperson for the White House had not returned a request to verify the contents of the video at press time . In a second tweet, Golik wrote, “It’s very sad & upsetting to see Laura’s beautiful memory & legacy have any association w/ Pres. Trump & such a dark day in US history. Neithe...
Ariel Pink Defends His Decision to ‘Peacefully’ Attend Pro-Trump Rally at White House
He continued arguing past 2 a.m. that people attending such large gatherings during the ongoing pandemic “deserve whats coming to them” if they fail to socially distance themselves and wear face masks, while making a snide remark about the Black Lives Matter protests over the summer. “Proof that I stormed Congress. yeah I don’t see it,” he replied to one user’s comments about his sighting. “Are u suggesting the congress building has a bed and breakfast we somehow got access to.” Pink joked about being “canceled” on his own Twitter account and drew comparisons to a panopticon, a circular prison where the cells are conveniently arranged for a centrally positioned guard to surveil every prisoner. “Welcome to the panoptigan...
Jamiroquai Singer Confirms He Is Not the Horned, Shirtless Capitol Stormer
QAnon Trump supporter Jake Angeli (photo by AFP) / Jamiroquai’s Jay Kay (photo by Fabio Venni) Yesterday afternoon, a swath of Trump supporters tore through the Capitol during an hours-long siege. One of the rioters, a shirtless QAnon supporter with a pair of horns on his head, started trending on social media when Twitter users noted he looked like Jay Kay, the lead singer of Jamiroquai. Now, the goofy disco-funk artist has taken to social media to confirm that it wasn’t him. The Trump supporter has since been identified as Jake Angeli, a 32-year-old QAnon conspiracy theorist who regularly attends far-right rallies in Arizona. According to an interview with The Arizona Republic, he wears a fur bonnet, paints his face, and walks around shirtless to attract attention. He believes the ...

After Twitter Suspended His Account, Facebook Is Indefinitely Banning Donald Trump From Posting
Source: SOPA Images / Getty After all of the racist and outright crazy sh*t that he has said on Twitter that many have warned would eventually lead to yesterday’s bootleg coup, social media companies have said enough. With only 14 days remaining in his nightmare term, Donald Trump, who has been pushing the norms to the limit, has finally done something that both Democrats and a sizeable number of Republicans can agree was absolutely crazy. After urging a mob of his loyal pro-Trump terrorists to storm the U.S. Capitol Building putting the lives of Congress members, Capitol Police, and his own Vice President in danger, Twitter took the unprecedented act to suspend the inciter-in-chief’s account after he continued to spew false information breaking Twitters Rules. In violation of those rules,...
PDP sets agenda for Lagos governor in 2021
The Lagos State Chapter of Peoples Democratic Party has advised Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu to strive hard to provide satisfactory dividends of democracy to residents of the state in 2021. The state PDP Publicity Secretary, Taofik Gani, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos, while assessing Sanwo-Olu’s performance in 2020. “As a constructive opposition party, the year 2020 was not satisfactory in terms of dividends of democracy to Lagos residents. “Most of the local council chairmen performed below average, Sanwo-Olu should look into that because the chairmen are putting too much pain on the people due to their abdication of duties. “We are indeed very anxious to take over government as an opposition party in Lagos,” Gani said. According to him, the party shared wi...
