POST BREXIT: Scottish second independence referendum gathers momentum

 
Scottish independence
From recent data collated, about 49% has predicted that Scotland will go free within 10 years, while 43% say it is far-fetched.

Conversely, 72% say Scottish freedom would have been far-fetched had the UK voted to stay in the European Union; 20% said it would have been likely even had the nation voted Remain.

In a Sky Data survey in April, 54% said they thought it was likely Scotland would leave the UK within 10 years if the UK left the EU, while 34% said they would do as such on the off chance that they voted Remain.

Similarly, this finding was reflected among Leave voters as 51% thought Scotland would go free if the UK voted Leave, 34% in the event that they didn't recommending that, for some Leave voters, Scottish autonomy was viewed as a value worth paying for Brexit. This is irrespective of the fact that surveys in Scotland keep on showing a nearby race.

The most recent surveys from Ipsos MORI, Survation, TNS and YouGov have all demonstrated a lead for the crusade for Scotland to stay in the UK by 53% to 47%.

As Nicola Sturgeon divulges her arrangement for a second freedom vote, notwithstanding, Britons are negative with respect to the odds of the United Kingdom staying joined together.

As it came almost immediately the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Oyegun installed the party’s campaign team for the governorship elections in the state.

According to Aisha,  Buhari “does not know” most of the top officials he has appointed, saying that the government had been seized by some powerful persons determining presidential appointments.

During the interview with Naziru Mikailu, she lamented that: “The president does not know 45 out of 50, for example, of the people he appointed and I don’t know them either, despite being his wife for 27 years.”

She claimed that people who did not share the political ideology of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were now appointed into various offices because of the influence a “few people” exert.

“Some people are sitting down in their homes folding their arms only for them to be called to come and head an agency or a ministerial position.”

But when she was requested to name those who had hijacked the government, she refused, saying: “You will know them if you watch television.”

On whether the president Buhari was in control, she said: “That is left for the people to decide.”

Nevertheless, Mrs Buhari revealed further that her husband is yet to tell her whether he would contest the 2019 election or not.

“He is yet to tell me but I have decided as his wife, that if things continue like this up to 2019, I will not go out and campaign again and ask any woman to vote like I did before. I will never do it again.

Army denies knowledge of release of Chibok girls
Though the general public from within and outside Nigeria received the news of the purported released of the 21 kidnapped Chibok school girls.

However, people are beginning to have a mixed feeling about the authenticity of the kidnap and release of these girls, as the Nigeria’s military has come out to deny any knowledge of the released of the twenty one Chibok school girls by the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents on Thursday.

Although the Defence Headquarters while speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) stated on Thursday that it is carrying out “serious operations to rescue them and other Nigerians in Boko Haram captivity.”

The DHQ said: “Military is unaware of the release of some Chibok Girls but serious operations are on to rescue them and other Nigerians in Boko Haram’s captivity – DHQ.”

On the other hand, the Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu in his press release affirmed the recent release of the said girls who were among the over 200 kidnapped in April 2014, as they are were in the hands of the DSS.

Garba said this in a statement released Thursday, “It is confirmed that 21 of the missing Chibok Girls have been released and are in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS. The Director-General of the DSS, Malam Lawal Daura has just briefed President Muhammadu Buhari on the matter.”

Shehu further said: “The release of the girls, in a limited number, is the outcome of negotiations between the administration and Boko Haram, brokered by the International Red Cross and the Swiss government. The negotiations will continue.”

Battle line drawn as Mrs. May insists Britain must remain part of the EU single market

 
PM Questions

British Prime Minister, Theresa May has once again reiterated that the country would explore every possible avenue available to keep UK in the EU’s single market. Though the British people have voted to take full control immigration.

Today’s Prime Minister's Questions happened to be the very first since the Conservatives and Labour held their party conferences, as Mrs May and Jeremy Corbyn traded insults, mostly over Brexit.

"What we are going to do is be ambitious in our negotiation, to negotiate the best deal for the British people and that will include the maximum possible access to the European market for firms to trade with and operate within," Mrs May told the Commons.

"I'm also clear that the vote of the British people said we should control the movement of people from the EU into the UK, and ... we believe we should deliver on what the British people want."

On the contrary, a spokesman for Angela Merkel reiterated in Berlin that the German Chancellor's long-standing position on the issue of access to the single market is very important as well the EU.

"A key assertion of the Chancellor in the last months has … always been that full participation in the EU internal market means that the country that wants such participation must also fully subscribe to the free movement of people", said Steffen Seibert.

Mrs May also denied that a Government plan to make companies list foreign workers was a case of "naming and shaming".

Mrs. May came under recurrent attack by Mr Corbyn, as the Opposition leader at one point saying she risks a "shambolic Tory Brexit" to calm down her backbenchers.

"This is a Government which drew up no plans for Brexit, that now has no strategy for negotiating Brexit and offers no clarity, no transparency and no chance of scrutiny of the process for developing a strategy," he said.

On his part, the Brexit minister, David Davis, stated that Britain is not yet in a position to give details of what it wants from the negotiations beyond its "overarching aims".


"The overarching aims are these: bringing back control of laws to parliament, bringing back control over decisions of immigration to the UK, maintaining the strong security cooperation that we have with the European Union and establishing the freest possible market in goods and services with the European Union and the rest of the world," he said.

Confusion as an accused teenager excretes in a Magistrate Court in Edo State

 
Boy excretes in court
There was a little drama at a Magistrate Court in Oredo, Benin City when suspect aged 18 excreted publicly on himself.

Also, report has it that the suspect, Abdullahi Muhammed’s case was to be called that he acted the drama which paved way for him to take to his heels, as everybody was in confusion.

But luck ran out of him when Sergeant Aignochie Iruonagbe requested other police officers present to give him some helping hand. After he was re-arrested, the police gave him sachets of water to clean up before he was arraigned again.

According to the prosecutor, Muhammed’s offence was that on the 8 day of October he stole 4 cartons of milk from a woman named Mrs. Favour Nwachukwu, which is a punishable offence according to Section 390 (4) of the criminal code

Accordingly, Muhammed without much ado pleaded guilty to the offence. While the magistrate presiding over the case, adjourned it to October 14 for sentencing.

POST BREXIT: UK's bid to avoid paying funds into the EU may be a farce.

 
Post Brexit
It was guaranteed amid the EU referendum by Vote Leave, that leaving the EU could spare the UK £350m a week in commitments.

In any case, an anonymous cabinent minister has told Newsnight that the UK may wind up paying a considerable amount of that cash to secure access to the single market.

Though the current government has said it would not give a "running commentary" on Brexit negotiation. The UK's commitments to the EU got to be a standout amongst the most disagreeable issues in the EU referendum after Vote Leave swore to repatriate £350m a week - its gauge of the UK's gross week by week commitments to the EU.

This is diminished by aids paid to the UK and by the UK spending discount.

Be that as it may, a main light in the Brexit battle said they now expected the UK could even now be made to up as much as £5bn a year into EU, as a by-product of access to the single market.

This is generally 50% of what the UK would have anticipated that would add to the EU - assessed by the Office for Budget Responsibility to average around £9.6bn a year from 2015.


A senior authority has depicted the possibility of proceeding with UK commitments to the EU as the "dog that hasn’t barked" after Prime Minister Theresa May made no reference to the issue when she set out her red lines for her anticipated EU arrangements a week ago.

Search for escaped monocled cobras in Eastern China intensifies

 
Cobras escape in China

Trouble in Eastern China as relevant agencies in the country are desperately scanning for around 50 venomous snakes after a mass escape from an unlicensed reproducing ranch.

To date around 150 of them have been gotten or murdered. When around 200 monocled child cobras got away from the ranch in Nanjing in August.

The snakelets are around 20cm (7in) long as indicated by Liuhe locale powers, state media Xinhua stated.

In China, body parts of snakes are being used for traditional medications. The venoms from monocled cobras are said to be extremely lethal if proper treatment is not made. Nonetheless, the infant snakes' venom is less harmful than develop snakes.

According to Xinhua, A sum of 1,820 monocled cobra eggs were first conveyed to the Chunyi animals farm in August, of which 1,500 incubated.

Be that as it may, the Chinese authorities just got to be mindful of the escape when a villager from Liuhe area found and slaughtered a snake he found at home in October. Due to the danger posed by these snakes, the farm has been closed down.


It is not remarkable to know about snakes getting away from homesteads in China. In August, 23 child cobras got away from a rearing homestead in Sichuan.

Teenage jealous Brazilian girls tried to bury their rival in a shallow grave

 
Brazilian girls attempted murder

 Based on the various incredible man inhumanity to man, it is obvious that the world is gradually heading towards an era where people find pleasure in causing untold pain and hardship against their fellow humans. Tragically, it happens much again and again nowadays. Four young ladies in Brazil have been captured for doing only that subsequent to tormenting a ‘love rival’.

The young ladies, who are between the ages of 13-16, purportedly tied their casualty's hands and feet together and afterward beat her with a wooden stick and a little blade, before dragging her to a shallow grave they had dug. Gruesome hellfire, I ask why they didn't get the lover boy they were quarrelling about?

To expose their atrocities, one of the four heartless murderers foolishly videoed the experience on their telephone, which police found subsequent to capturing them.

The casualty was deceitfully told that there was a party going on at the garden in which she was about getting buried in.

"They called me round to their house and when I arrived, they began to hit me," she said. They tied me up and showed me where I was going to be buried.

"Then they stabbed me and put me in the hole in the ground. I thought I was going to die there."

One of the young ladies confessed to police that the goal was to murder the young lady, just in light of the fact that she had been seeing one of her assailant's sweethearts. Jeez - you're an adolescent - when I was a youngster I shakily kissed my mate's ex; he let me know reasonable play.

"The youngsters we arrested said the victim started seeing that boy," Police chief Renata Vieira said after revealing the girls had organised a fake birthday party with one of their boyfriends.

"Jealousy is the main motive behind what happened.

"These girls all went to the same school and one of them had known the victim at least 10 years."

Simply put an aberrant Facebook status like each different desirous young lady.


Fortunately to the casualty she was able to find an way of escape with the help of some, local people in Trindade, a city in the focal Brazilian condition of Goiás.
