PDP Confirms Payment of Millions to NWC Members
Tweet Tweet Share Whatsapp reddit The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has confirmed the payment of money to some members of its National Working Committee (NWC).

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the members in a letter to the national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, returned different sums ranging from N28 million to N36 million. They said it became necessary to return the money after a backlash from the media accusing them of taking bribes. .ue9d89bca8d238b26f1b9532ceb3265da { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!...
Reno Omokri reveal Peter Obi Greatest Mistake
Tweet Tweet Share Whatsapp reddit He said The greatest mistake Peter Obi made was getting high on app based polls that predict victory for him. In case you do not know what app based means, it simply means the pollsters behind the poll did it on an app, like Twitter or survey monkey. Why does this matter? Because, Nigeria has a disproportionately higher number of Southerners than Northerners on social media. Remember that English is used for most apps, which favours Southerners. That is why Northern Nigerian participation on Facebook was minimal, until Facebook integrated Hausa into its app in September of 2016, after Mark Zuckerberg’s August 2016 visit to Nigeria. Other apps have yet to follow suit. .ud2c6247b7d43f6579b82d9a67ff299d1 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; pa...

Besides 2011’s Soul Surfer and 2014’s God’s Not Dead, Kevin Sorbo hasn’t done much in the way of major Hollywood projects since Hercules: The Legendary Journeys wrapped in 1999, and he says his faith and politics are to blame. The actor, who has jumped down the Trump rabbit hole in recent years, claims being a conservative Christian has hurt his career — but that he’d be a shoo-in for an Oscar if he “played a radical Islamic pedophile terrorist.” “My manager and agent called me in about 10 or 11 years ago and said, ‘We can’t work with you anymore because you’re conservative and a Christian,’ which is like being a double leper, apparently, in Hollywood,” Sorbo said during a recent appearance on the ominously titled program Just the News, Not Noise. “The whole thing in Hollywood is, the...
