Monarch to Buhari: Send Army after killer-herdsmen

WORRIED by the incessant killings of farmers in various parts of the country by some Fulani herdsmen, the traditional ruler of Obosi community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra state, Igwe Chidubem Iweka has appealed to the federal government to send the Army after the killer herdsmen to monitor their activities and prevent them from shedding more 
He said that by so doing, the federal government would have provided adequate security to the farmers and at the same time, called the herdsmen who are nomadic in nature, to order.
Speaking to newsmen in his Obosi Palace at the weekend, Igwe Iweka noted that if their activities were not check-mated, the herdsmen who had already conquered farmers in Benue, Taraba, Ekiti, Delta and Adamawa states, would spread their tentacles to other states of the federation and continue with their killing spree.
He described as very unfortunate, a situation where the herdsmen always invaded peoples farm lands and spoil their crops in the name of grazing their cattles, adding that nobody is against grazing their cattles but rather, people are against tampering with peoples’ farm lands as it placed more priorities on their cattles  than peoples lives and farm lands.
According to the monarch, “Federal Government should send the army to go after the herdsmen and defeat them because they have declared war on innocent citizens and ought to be defeated”.
On the recent ruling by an Abuja High court that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is a terrorist group and as such should be proscribed, Igwe Iweka described the court verdict as very biased, adding that  IPOB is not known for carrying cudgels, axes, knives or exhibiting violence.
“The judge that gave such a ruling should be checked, because, even the international society knows that IPOB is not violent,” he insisted.

China positive about US negotiation remark on North Korea

China said on Thursday it was positive that the United States is open to resolving tensions over North Korea through talks. Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang made the comment at a regular news briefing in Beijing. The Trump administration said on Wednesday it aimed to push North Korea into dismantling its nuclear and missile programs through tougher international sanctions and diplomatic pressure, and remained open to negotiations to bring that about. NAN reports that the U.S. stance, which appeared to signal a willingness to exhaust non-military avenues inspite of repeated warnings that “all options are on the table,” came in a statement following an unusual White House-hosted briefing for the entire U.S. Senate followed by a briefing to the House of Representatives. The statement from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Defence Secretary Jim Mattis and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats described North Korea as “an urgent national security threat and top foreign policy

I’m different from young artistes – Majek Fashek

Since his return to the Nigerian music scene, veteran reggae maestro, Majek Fashek, has been on a conscious mission to once again stamp his feet on the music space, reclaiming his throne as the only musician in the world who can draw rain with his music fic. In a recent interview with HIPTV, the rain maker, as he is fondly called, claimed there is a cut clear difference between the quality of sound and music he makes and that of young artistes. According to Majek, “I make sound while all these young musicians make jam, I make good sound but they are always jamming, they don’t make good sound, they just jam. My song ‘Send down the rain’ was made over thirty years ago, but if you listen to it today, you will realize that the sound will appeal to both the old and equally the young ones because the sound is good and still relevant today, that is something the young musicians don’t have.” In a one-on-one chat with  E-Daily , Majek explained that his statement in the inter

North Korea accuses CIA of plot to assassinate Kim Jong-Un

North Korea on Friday accused the CIA of plotting with South Korea to assassinate leader Kim Jong-Un, amid soaring tensions in the flashpoint region. The CIA and Seoul’s Intelligence Services have “hatched a vicious plot” involving unspecified “biochemical substances” to kill the hermit state’s young leader during public ceremonial events in Pyongyang, the Ministry of State Security said. For the CIA “assassination by use of biochemical substances including radioactive substance and nano poisonous substance is the best method that does not require access to the target, their lethal results will appear after six or twelve months,” the Ministry said in a statement carried by state media. The accusation comes as Pyongyang issues increasingly belligerent rhetoric in a tense stand off with the administration of US President Donald Trump over its rogue weapons programme The war of words between the West and the reclusive regime has spiked in recent weeks, and Pyongyang has threatened to ca
