During his final moments in the Oval Office, President  Barack Obama  folded into thirds a handwritten letter to  Donald Trump. The 275-word letter captures an outgoing president eager to instill in Trump the vast responsibilities and uncertain parameters of the job. Read the full letter below... Dear Mr. President - Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and  all  of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure. This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years. First, we've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It's up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard. Second, American...

Nigeria could face sanctions from FIFA, following Odion Ighalo’s yellow card after his goal celebration. Ighalo lifted his shirt to reveal a message and was instantly booked by Egyptian referee, Ghead Grisha, after scoring the first goal in the Super Eagles’ 4-0 victory over Cameroon in Uyo on Friday. “He told me that the message on my shirt was about religion because it’s ‘thank you Jesus,” Ighalo told KweséESPN. FIFA has outlawed the display of unsanctioned commercial, political, religious or personal slogans or statements in undershirts. Sanctions are mainly fines. Referee Grisha is expected to include the incident in his report for further action by FIFA. Ighalo, who hobbled off with an ice pack, also insisted his injury was not serious. “It was just a tight hamstring, but I am fine now,” he said.

North Korea on Sunday conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, which it said was of an advanced hydrogen bomb for a long-range missile, marking a dramatic escalation of the regime’s stand-off with the United States and its allies. Washington responded aggressively, with President Donald Trump refusing to rule out military action and threatening to cut off trade with any country doing business with Pyongyang. Asked while leaving a church service whether the United States would attack North Korea, Trump replied: “We’ll see.” The White House said Trump would convene a meeting of his national security advisers later on Sunday. Trump’s trade threat, issued via Twitter, may be a way to pressure China, Pyongyang’s top trading partner. The president also appeared to rebuke ally South Korea, which faces an existential threat from North Korea’s nuclear program.

Biafra leader on the run 2017/09/03 04:22:08 …After breakup announcement, appointment of ministers He’s messing up the struggle  –MASSOB leader From Petrus Obi, Enugu Leader of the Biafra Zionist Federation, BZF, Benjamin Onwuka, who four weeks ago declared himself the President of the Republic of Biafra and named an interim cabinet has gone into hiding. Onwuka went underground to evade arrest by operatives of Department of State Services who have been on his trail since he held the press conference where he announced the appointment of prominent individuals into this ‘cabinet’ as ministers, an act that was roundly dismissed by many as comical. Onwuka had in his press conference about a month ago announced the names of respected personalities as members of his cabinet. They include, Prof. Pat Utomi (Foreign Affairs), Professor Chukwuma Soludo (Governor, Central Bank of Biafra) and Ohanaeze President, Chief Nnia Nwodo, who was appointed as Biafra’s Ambassa...
