Angela Eagle to fight Jeremy Corbyn for Labour leadership


Angela Eagle to fight Jeremy Corbyn for Labour leadership

It is all fight for power and tussle for leadership, who wins the fight is concerned to be supreme and the defeated subdued.
Angela Eagle has vowed to fight Jeremy Corbyn for the Labour leadership after crisis talks broke down today.

Discussions aimed at finding a way out of Labour's leadership crisis have been abandoned by deputy leader Tom Watson because Jeremy Corbyn's refusal to stand down means there is no chance of progress.

Ms Eagle released a statement today announcing she will stand as a candidate to lead the Labour party.


She said: "On Monday morning I will announce my candidature for Leader of the Labour Party. I will explain my vision for the country and the difference a strong Labour Party can make."

Peter Okoye of Psquare threaten to sue his twin brother


A few weeks ago there were some adverts about P-Square, Performing a live show in Congo, But now the Peter Okoye has said that his brother has no right to make use of ''PSQUARE' since hes no longer in the group, and they are no more together.. So Peter is now threatening to sue his Paul for using psquare instead of Rudeboy... read what he wrote below;

"Disclaimer: This goes out to all my Fans in Congo Specifically and the entire world in General. My attention has been drawn to a much publicised show holding today 8th July, 2016(VIP SHOW) and tomorrow 9th July, 2016,(in Goma) and on the 17th of August in Kinshasa wherein the name Psquare was used maliciously and mischievously to garner patronage and huge fans attendance as against the stage name Rudeboy which is used when my Twin Brother, Paul, and Co-owner of the stage name Psquare performs alone.
I never endorsed the usage of my name as the contractual terms presented were not favourable to me, thus I am not part of the show booked by our former manager Jude and I wholeheartedly disassociate myself from the unauthorized use of my Co-owned stage name (Psquare) and images for promotional and economic reasons without my express written consent or permission. Contrary to the wild allegations making the rounds that I could not attend the show because I am sick and missed my flight along with my crew members, I wish to counter same and state categorically, that I am 101% healthy.
I shall take appropriate legal actions in the nearest future against the promoters and the sponsors of these events for character assassination and malicious misrepresentation. Thank you. MR.P (Peter of Psquare)

Update: Bomb-making material, rifles, ammunition and a combat journal have been found at the home of the suspect in the Dallas shooting


BBC reports that Bomb-making material, rifles, ammunition and a combat journal have been found at the home of the suspect in the Dallas shooting, officials say.
Five police officers were killed and seven wounded in a hail of gunfire during a protest on Thursday against the shooting of black men by police.

The suspect, 25-year-old Micah Johnson, died after a long stand-off with police in central Dallas.
Mayor Mike Rawlings said officials believed he was "the lone shooter".
"We believe now the city is safe," the city mayor said at a news conference on Friday.
The protest in Dallas took place after this week's deaths of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana.

Officials said on Friday that gunmen targeted police officers and civilians in separate attacks in Georgia, Missouri and Tennessee in the aftermath of the Minnesota and Louisiana deaths.
In Tennessee, a black army veteran killed a woman and also injured three other people, including a police officer, as he opened fire on a motorway on Thursday morning.

Michael Jordan reacts to Police Brutality through his essay


Police Brutality is just inhuman no matter the race
Few days of the police brutality in the state which has forced so many activities and has also made, all to react towards their disaffection.
Michael B. Jordan has written an essay on the recent police brutality shootings and how it could have “easily” been himself as the victim.

The 29-year-old actor played the victim of police brutality in the movie Fruitvale Station, which is based on the true story of Oscar Grant III, a Bay Area resident who was killed in 2008.

“I’ve been trying to process all that has occurred in the last few days and I’m still looking for the words to express my pain. The fact is Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were not unfortunate accidents. These are just a few of the countless incidents of violent neglect, poor training and lack of accountability that clearly illustrate one thing: Black people are being disproportionately dehumanized and murdered, this must stop!” Michael wrote on Instagram.

“I care about the safety of my black brothers and sisters and my blue ones too. There are no adequate words for the fallen officers in Dallas. From the bottom of my heart, I thank them for protecting the peaceful protestors, their courage and effort to support us is what we need more of,” he continued.

“This hits close to home. It could have easily been myself, my little brother, my dad, one of my friends, or any of us. When one of us is murdered because a police officer is ‘afraid for their life’, it pains us – we feel it,” Michael said. “In the wake of these senseless murders, our homes are forever broken; families are left to figure it out. I’m concerned about my mother, my sister, and all my magical black women that are left to pick up the pieces. Often they are not acknowledged or thanked for being on the front line fighting these battles for and with us, but know your continued strength, courage, and unwavering love and support gives us the strength to keep fighting. Finding solutions in these times of survival are seemingly hard to identify but we must continue to keep moving forward. Alternatively, violence is not the answer; it only begets more fear and violence. This is the time to unify; our communities, our churches and our homes. My mission is to channel my anger and energy – along with my love and hope for the future into actively finding solutions. Change will take all of us, we can no longer say or do…Nothing.”

Good news for PDP, the factional leaders begin reconcilation

Senator Ali Modu Sheriff
Senator Ali Modu Sheriff 

Vanguard reports that the factional leaders of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), led by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and Senator Ahmed Makarfi may have resolved to finally set aside their grievances and give peace a chance.

Report says the warring parties have commenced negotiations on how to move forward.

This was made known to newsmen in Abuja by the immediate past national vice chairman of the PDP for South-South, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh.
He said the Sheriff faction has made its terms for truce known to the Makarfi group through an ‘intermediary.’

He, however, did not disclose the conditions outlined by Sheriff’s camp for peace to reign in the party.

Ojougboh, who was appointed by Senator Sheriff as deputy chairman, insists that Sheriff remains the authentic chairman of the PDP until a properly constituted convention of the party says otherwise.

He noted that Sheriff's insistence to remain as the party's chairman is not borne out of desperation for power, but to put an end to the reign of impunity in the party and returning power to the people it rightly belongs to.

According to him, PDP governors manipulated the recently conducted party congresses in their states, adding that Sheriff has resolved to revisit the congresses nationwide to ensure that the party returns to the grassroots people and not the governors.

Shocking! 38 years Horny Zookeeper Impregnated a female Orangutan

The 38-year-old zookeeper impregnated a female orangutan

Sometimes when some certain things happened it keep you wondering why and what is really happening. Man and Animal sexual relationship is becoming common in the asian, european and American part of the world. It is certain something is definitely wrong somewhere.
According to Kalimantan Press, a  zoo keeper at Indonesia’s Surabaya zoo has landed in trouble after he was arrested and charged with impregnating a female orangutan.

The 38-year-old zoo keeper was filmed in full action by a series of hidden cameras put in place by the zoo’s security officials after doubts emerged about the man’s devious actions towards the zoo animals. He was caught on camera having sexual intercourse with the animals.

“Some animals seemed sexually aroused when it was time to feed them” explains Akhiroel Yahya, employee of the zoo for 14 years. “But what made us most suspicious was when we discovered Marylin, our oldest orangutan, was pregnant. She has never been in contact with any other orangutans because of her aggressive nature, so it didn’t make any sense” he acknowledges, visibly troubled by the news.

Then out of curiosity and desire to know, the zoo officials decided on what to do.

“At first, we clearly did not comprehend what had happened,” admits the zoo’s director, Abdoel Hakim. “Marilyn has been secluded for the past 10 years, it was a total mystery,” he acknowledges. “It is only when we placed several hidden cameras that we learned the horrible truth” he admits, visibly angered by the whole situation.

However, the zoo keeper had denied everything. He denied any wrong doing on his part.

“He said everything he had done was consensual,” explains police chief Abubakar Jaar. “He said he loved each and everyone of the animals and was very sorry he had impregnated the orangutan,” he told local reporters. “He says he did not know orangutans could get pregnant from humans,” he added.

“Contrary to popular belief, the orangutan species is much closer to the human species than chimpanzees. We share practically the same DNA code, with only minute differences, which could explain the orangutan falling pregnant from this man” explains Paleobiologist Bachtiar Pado Panghulu, of the University of Jakarta.

“Particularly in Indonesia, the genetic profile of some of the population is extremely close to the orangutan species, leading us to believe they’re might have been a common ancestor to both species only a few hundred thousand years ago,” he admits.
