Igbo Race Migrated From Ile-Ife, We Have Evidence – Ooni of Ife

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has made a claim about Igbos.
According to him, he traced the history of the Igbo race to Ile-Ife.
Ooni disclosed that documented evidence has shown that the Igbo race migrated from Ile-Ife.

He charged the academia to properly document the history of Yoruba race rather than relying on jaundiced history.
The monarch spoke while addressing journalists ahead of an International Conference on ‘Ile-Ife and Yoruba Civilization: Nexus between Tradition and Modernity,’ at his palace in Ife.
 
“We have good evidence to believe that Igbo race has its roots here in Ile-Ife.
 
“There is Ile-Igbo here in the palace which was not a recent creation but has been existing here for decades. For this and many other reasons, I believe we need proper documentation of our history.
 
“We are not involving government in this project so that we can just place all the facts together, we must write our history properly and put things right for the coming generations,” he said.

Davido Fixes New Date For Delta Concert, Mocks Pinnick Again

Singer, Davido has fixed a new date for him to perform in Warri.
This comes after missing out on the 19th edition of the Warri Again concert.
The Warri Again concert was held on October 6 to celebrate entertainers who hail from the Niger Delta region.
Amaju Pinnick, the former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), recently called out Davido for failing to show up at the concert.
Pinnick argued that Davido had received $94,600 to perform at Warri Again.
He said a chartered plane was arranged to convey the singer to Warri, which cost the state another $18,000.
Pinnick, an executive member of the world football governing body FIFA, added that the organisers eventually replaced Davido with Shallipopi.
Reacting, Davido had aimed a thinly veiled dig at the ex-NFF chief, insinuating that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
But in a series of fresh Instagram posts, the singer announced that he will perform for his Delta fans in December.

He also revealed that he had earlier informed the organisers about his unavailability but wondered why “they continued to promote the show using my name”.
 
“I will be performing in WARRI DECEMBER! I wan see who get mind stop me … body go tell u,” he wrote.
“To my lovely fans in Warri that spent their hard earned money to come out. Apologies you had to experience this. I was not going to be physically able to make it and this had been communicated to ‘them’ for a longgggg while now I mean MONTHS ago but for reasons best known to them, they continued to promote the show using my name. It’s a shame.”
He also took a swipe at Pinnick while promising to “donate money to NFF” which he argued, “has been suffering for too long”.
“If I’m returning any money I’ll return it to any football charity organization.. INFACT I will DOUBLE IT….. MR DREAM CRUSHER… imagine how many Nigerian footballers have had their dreams crushed because person one live for ikoyi by force,” he wrote.
 
“Warri Pple hate you! And u know! Amaju come outside let’s talk!
 
“I wanna donate money to @thenffofficial been suffering for too long it’s not fair … let’s do something @puma”

Tinubu’s CSU Certificate: Lawmakers Move To Regulate Fake News On Social Media

According to reports, lawmakers in the country are reportedly plotting to bring up a bill to regulate fake news on social media.

The member representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency of Ebonyi State, Comrade Chinedu Ogah, disclosed this while reacting to the viral claims on social media over the alleged Chicago State University (CSU) certificate forgery by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to Ogah, the National Assembly would soon adopt the bill and consequently sign it into law to regulate the spread of fake news on social media in Nigeria.

Ogah stated this while addressing journalists during the weekend in Abakiliki, the Ebonyi State capital.

“We at the National Assembly will soon enact a law on fake news essentially to control social media as it is in other countries. And that is to say that whatever people say or write will be regulated. You don’t sit in your room and post whatever you think to write.

“And from my own point of view, those people calling for the resignation of President Tinubu are doing it out of hatred. They have no facts. They believe what is posted on social media. Nigeria has rules; we have a constitution that the people are subjected to,” Daily Trust quoted the lawmaker as saying.

Recall that candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar is challenging the declaration of Tinubu by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the winner of the February 25th poll.

Atiku alleged in his petitions that Tinubu forged his CSU certificate submitted to INEC for eligibility in the 2023 election.
