The Ebonyi State government has begun data capturing and registration of members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, living in the state. The government said the youth ”were misled to join the agitation of the group.” The State Commissioner for Economic Empowerment and Job Creation, Uchenna Orji, said this in Abakaliki. He said the exercise was going on simultaneously in the 13 local government areas of the state. He said the initiative by the state government would make the IPOB members economically independent and help in reducing social vices and other forms of criminality currently plaguing the society. The commissioner, who said that the state government had extended its empowerment schemes to Ebonyi youth in other states of the federation including Sokoto, Kaduna, Anambra and Lagos, added that over 3000 youths had so far been empowered in the State. According to him, the state government was set to create 12,000 jobs through the empowerment of these yo...

An Ethiopian diplomat who was part of the government delegation to the United Nations General Assembly in New York last month has sought political asylum in the United States. Baye Tadesse Teferi, the state’s chief protocol officer, quit his job in the United States after serving over two years with the government, he told VOA Amharic on Tuesday. He added that his decision was due to fears of being persecuted for political reasons. Teferi attended the summit with the Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn who has since returned. Ethiopia is regarded as one of Africa’s fastest growing economies yet many citizens have faced repression by security forces and the government. In the past two years, protests were held in the Oromia and Amhara regions where tens of thousands of people flooded the streets denouncing marginalization by the government. The Ethiopian government reacted with force to the protests, leading to the death of about a thousand people, arrests, state...

“ Nigeria’s financial crimes agency on Wednesday brushed off allegations by the wife of the country’s former president that it had conducted a “witch-hunt” against her. Patience Jonathan, whose husband Goodluck Jonathan was the president of Africa’s most populous country from 2010 to 2015, accused the head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of an “orchestrated plan” to tarnish her reputation and that of her husband. President Muhammadu Buhari took office in 2015 after defeating Goodluck Jonathan in elections during which he vowed to crack down on corruption. Buhari said state coffers were virtually empty when he assumed the presidency. Last year, the EFCC froze four U.S. dollar bank accounts that the ex-president’s wife said she owned. Her spokesman said in September 2016 that the accounts in total contained around $10 million – a third of the sum reported in the Nigerian press. A legal case is continuing in the commercial capital Lagos over t...

Paddock checked into the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on Sept. 28, bringing 10 bags and at least 23 guns, including high-power rifles. He set up surveillance cameras inside and outside his two-room suite. There was one camera on a room service cart in the hallway outside his suite, police said. One official said he also had a camera mounted in the room, apparently to record himself. Paddock was shuttered inside his suite for three days at the giant hotel-casino, perched high above the site of the Route 91 Harvest Festival, taking place across the street. Room service was provided at some point during his stay. A search into Paddock's car, which was parked at Mandalay Bay, revealed several cans of tannerite as well as 1,600 rounds of ammunition, Lombardo said Wednesday afternoon. Investigators believe Paddock used a device similar to a hammer to smash two windows in his rooms before he allegedly opened fire on the music festival crowd, shortly after a renditi...

The Latest on President Donald Trump and the mass shooting in Las Vegas (all times EDT): 9:50 p.m. President Donald Trump was somber Wednesday as he visited hospital bedsides and a vital police base in stricken Las Vegas.

Premier League clubs were unable to come to a resolution over how overseas television money is distributed following Wednesday's meeting, while Facebook could be in line as the next official broadcaster of the English top-flight's matches. All 20 teams met in London midweek to discuss TV rights, with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham reportedly determined to receive a greater share of income. A new deal would see a percentage of the global revenue divided based on league position but no vote was taken due to a lack of support. A Premier League spokesman told Omnisport : "Premier League clubs today met and discussed the future development of the League. "Clubs unanimously agreed to adjourn the meeting to allow further discussion." Meanwhile, Facebook's head of sports Dan Reed refused to rule out a bid for the Premier League broadcast rights. The Premier League's next deals are set to ...

Americans buying seafood for dinner may inadvertently have subsidized the North Korean government as it builds its nuclear weapons program, an Associated Press investigation has found. Their purchases may also have supported forced labor. At a time when North Korea is banned from selling almost anything, the country is sending tens of thousands of workers worldwide to bring in an estimated $200 million to $500 million a year. That could account for a sizable portion of North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile programs, which South Korea says have cost more than $1 billion. While North Korean workers have been documented overseas, the AP investigation reveals that some products they make go to the United States. AP also tracked products made by North Korean workers to Canada, Germany and elsewhere in the European Union. In response to the investigation, Senate leaders said Wednesday that the U.S. needs to keep products made by North Koreans out and get China t...

The Las Vegas gunman transferred $100,000 overseas in the days before the attack and planned the massacre so meticulously that he even set up cameras inside the peephole of his high-rise hotel room and on a service cart outside his door, apparently to spot anyone coming for him, authorities said Tuesday. Meanwhile, investigators are taking a harder look at the shooter's girlfriend and what she might have known about the attack at a country music festival, with the sheriff naming her a "person of interest" The girlfriend, Marilou Danley, 62, returned to the United States from the Philippines on Tuesday night and was met at Los Angeles International Airport by FBI agents, according to a law enforcement official. The official wasn't authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

President Donald Trump has unveiled his 2018 budget, and students (and their parents) might want to pay attention. The proposed spending plan includes big changes to federal student loans and other programs that help people pay for college. Among the suggested changes? Killing a big loan forgiveness program, tweaking loan terms, and slashing funding for work-study. The cost-cutting measures are designed to save the government money. But what about students themselves? Will they benefit? At this point, it’s hard to say. The budget is in its early stages. What passes Congress will likely look significantly different than what the president has outlined. Read finish in: International news page

The girlfriend of the Las Vegas gunman who shot dead 58 people on Sunday has said she had no idea what her "kind, caring, quiet" partner was planning. Marilou Danley arrived back in the US on Tuesday, two days after her partner Stephen Paddock carried out the attack. It was the worst shooting in modern US history, with more than 500 injured. US President Donald Trump, who visited the city on Wednesday, said "America is truly a nation in mourning" in the wake of the mass killings. In a statement read by her lawyer, Ms Danley said Paddock "never said anything to me or took any action" which she understood as a warning of what was to come. "I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him," she said, expressing shock at the "horrible unspeakable acts of violence" Paddock had committed. US authorities named Ms Danley a "person of interest" in their investigation and said they had made contact with her...

The General Overseer of Mountain of Liberation and miracle ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor, has opined that Biafra is a spirit and cannot be killed with guns, arrows, and not even with a nuclear bomb. The pastor made this known while felicitating with Nigeria on her Independence Day celebration. While Speaking on the Operation “Egwu Eke 2” in the South East of Nigeria, the acclaimed man of God stated that it’s unfair for the Nigerian government to deploy the full weight of the military in the manner they did to quell the secessionist agitations by the IPOB members and in fact the people of that region.

In our series of letters from African journalists, novelist and writer Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes that many of the hopes Nigerians had at independence have been dashed. Of all the stories I have heard of the day when Nigeria gained independence from Britain on 1 October 1960, the most memorable is the one told by my friend's father, Onye Kamanu, who had spent the preceding night at Tafawa Balewa Square in the then capital, Lagos. Sitting on the surrounding walls and bare ground were thousands of Nigerians, who, like him, could hardly wait to usher in the day that their country would finally be free from colonial rule. 'Joy and pride' With tears in his eyes, Mr Kamanu recalled the occasion, describing the deafening bellow of triumph that went up from the teeming crowd when the British Union Jack finally went down and the green-white-green Nigerian flag was hoisted. Nigeria's then Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa captured the mood of the entire ...

These are the names and stories of those whose identities have been made public: Hannah Ahlers, 35 Murrieta Hannah Ahlers could be daring. The Murrieta, Calif., resident was part of a tightknit community of skydivers and enjoyed the outdoors. But a friend, Sunni Almond, said Ahlers also enjoyed simpler pleasures. She savored spending weekends lounging by the pool with friends and family. “She was possibly one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, with a heart to match,” Almond said. “She never came across with the diva mentality she easily could have had. She was a devoted mother and wife.” Ahlers studied at Crafton Hills College and went to Redlands East Valley High School, according to her Facebook page. She is survived by her husband of 16 ...
