Open Discussion To  Nigerian Ambassadors around the world . Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Geoffrey Jideofor Kwusike Onyeama, the Buhari administration is an elected one which makes you a public servant. So you are obligated to answer question posed to you by the people who elected you (The Nigerian people) into office for understanding and clarification. Please permit me to ask a fundamental question with all protocols dully observed, what is wrong with Nigerian embassies around the globe. All our embassies are embarrassing, deplorable, lacks basic amenities for its citizens and customer service etiquette. The big question is WHY can’t we learn a thing or two from our western partners and allies... I mean  this is disheartening. We all have visited embassies of other countries around the world, even foreign Consulates and embassies in Nigeria are of pristine standard, with  impeccable ...

The mystery of UFOs seen in American skies is likely to continue following the release of the US government’s highly anticipated UFO report. The report released on Friday afternoon made clear that while American intelligence officials do not believe aliens are behind the UFOs – or what scientists prefer to call unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) – that were observed by navy pilots, they cannot explain what the flying objects are. The report confirms that the observed phenomena are not part of any US military operations. The Pentagon studied over 140 incidents reported by navy pilots of UAP seen over the last two decades for the report. Many were seen from the summer of 2014 into the spring of 2015. While the report said that some incidents could be the result of technological errors in sensors or observers, it noted that most of the UAP reported “probably do represent physical objects” since they were registered across multiple sensors.            ...

  Kanye West  is suing Walmart over selling knock off versions of his  adidas Yeezy Foam Runner s. The alleged knock-offs are selling for $25 on Walmart.com, two-thirds less than the  adidas  Yeezy Foam Runner MSRP of $75. According to legal documents obtained by  TMZ , Kanye and Yeezy claim that Walmart manufactured and sold an “unauthorised exact copy” of the Foam Runner and left customers confused about if they’re purchasing the real versions of knock-offs. They also claim that they sent a legal warning to Walmart to take the shoes off of Walmart.com, but haven’t yet, which Kanye and Yeezy claim to be costing hundreds of millions in sales. A Walmart representative told TMZ in response that “The product referenced in the complaint is not sold by Walmart, but rather by third-party Marketplace sellers. We take allegations like this seriously and are reviewing the claim. We will respond in court as appropriate after we have been served with the complaint...

Amnesty International has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration prefers stifling criticisms and freedom of expression to addressing Nigeria’s deteriorating insecurity. Osai Ojigho Amnesty Nigeria Chief Speaking during a virtual conversation of ‘Thursday Talks,’ a monthly programme moderated by a senior programme manager at Paradigm Initiative, Adeboye Adegoke, Amnesty Nigeria chief, Osai Ojigho condemned the administration’s posture. She noted that the government has made several attempts to restrict how the rights body and other groups launch activities demanding immediate attention of the federal government on security and other issues. “What we are seeing is a government that is highly sensitive to criticism and, as such, seeks to work more on the public relation side of things — how it looks — rather than addressing the core issues. “This is why it’s quite worrying when you look at the insecurity situation in Nigeria that we are in today, because people have been s...

  New York court suspends Rudy Giuliani’s law licence over bogus election fraud claims An appeals court suspended Rudy Giuliani’s law licence in New York because he made false statements while trying to get courts to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the presidential race. An attorney disciplinary committee said in its motion to suspend Giuliani’s licence that there was “uncontroverted evidence” that Giuliani had made false statements to the courts, the public and lawmakers as he pushed theories that the election was stolen through fraud. “This country is being torn apart by continued attacks on the legitimacy of the 2020 election and of our current President, Joseph R. Biden,” the committee wrote.  “The hallmark of our democracy is predicated on free and fair elections. False statements intended to foment a loss of confidence in our elections and resulting loss of confidence in government generally damage the proper functioning of a free society.” The ruling, signed on Thur...

  All legal coronavirus restrictions, including requirements to wear face masks, are set to be ditched on July 19, a Cabinet minister said. UK environment secretary George Eustice said he was looking forward to ditching his mask as soon as there was not a “legal compulsion” to wear one. British prime minister Boris Johnson believes the “data looks good” in order to allow the removal of the remaining restrictions, Mr Eustice said. Experts have warned that some measures, such as the use of face masks, could be required in order to manage levels of coronavirus in the community. But Mr Eustice told Sky News: “What we want to do on the 19th of July, and Mr Johnson said that the data looks good to be able to have that end, is to remove all of the legal restrictions. “That’s all of the legal requirements to do things to be taken away completely. “Now, whether there will still be some people who might choose to wear masks or whether it may be advisory in some settings, that’s a separate...

The body of the 75-year-old founder of the anti-virus McAfee software was discovered at around 7:00 pm on Wednesday in his cell in the Brians 2 penitentiary near Barcelona in what a prison service spokeswoman said was a death “apparently from suicide”.
