   Chief CBN Onwuasoanya Ezendigbo, has frowned against the moves by the South East Executive Governors trying to overrate the IPOB leader as someone who could bring peace into Igboland, in what he called a shameless move. Ezendigbo, who floated presidential run in the last general elections in 2023. reminds the Governor that the people voted for them to protect their lives and properties, "Let me put it straight, Nnamdi kanu is not a factor that deserves such solidarity, its a sign of weakness and frailty for 5 executive Governors from south the east to assume Nnamdi kanu is more powerful than them to curb security situation in Igboland." The Struggle for Biafra started long before now, in fact, it was before Nnamdi kanu was born on September 25, 1967. But there was never a round table discussion to resolve the issue between south east and federal government since the return of democracy in 1999.  Why would they negotiate the release of a person that destroyed the good ...

  Over 1,300 people have died amid extreme heat in Saudi Arabia while making the Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca this month, raising questions about the country’s preparations. Officials said that most of the dead had not been registered for the hajj. Pilgrims with permits are transported in air-conditioned buses and can rest in cooling tents, while those without permits are left with little protection against temperatures that can reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The Saudi government has tried to rein in the effects of the heat by increasing shade and misting pilgrims with cool water. But many relatives of the dead and missing complained that the authorities had not done enough to cool all the pilgrims. It’s unclear if the number of deaths this year is higher than in previous years because Saudi Arabia doesn’t regularly release those statistics.
