THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL: Widespread Rioting Extends To 25 US Cities On Curfew


Anarchy in America! Things are spiraling out of control as more than 25 cities in the US are currently under curfew. Widespread looting is going on in many cities.

Over twenty-five, American cities are currently witnessing continuing rioting over the Minneapolis White Police officer’s racist killing of African American George Floyd a few days ago. The following U.S. Cities are experiencing Violent riots that began in Minneapolis Minnesota and have now expanded to New York, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver, Oakland, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Washington DC and many other places.
George Floyd was choked to death by 4 Minneapolis Police officers while he pleaded to them that he is not breathing but one officer knelt down on his neck thereby choking him from breathing and the other two officers assisted while one officer watched this tragedy on the side.
George Floyd eventually died on the scene when the police killers realized there was no more pulse from his body and George was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Cries of racism and “I can’t breath” were echoed by violent demonstrators across the United States, many are calling for the arrest of all the four police officers that killed Floyd and that all four must be charged with murder. Just yesterday one officer was arrested but that was not enough to stop the anger and violent demonstrations are continuing as we speak.
Three months ago another young black man 25 years old who was jogging on the street in Georgia was cornered by two white men, a father and his son, who shot the African American to death. Anger has been building up for some time as young African Americans are often profiled and targetted by the Police. The situation has now exploded, and the consequences are what we are witnessing on the streets of American cities. More to come

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
