A football administrator, Ebere Amaraizu, says the Super Eagles displayed Nigerian fighting spirit in defeating the Pharaohs of Egypt at the ongoing 2021 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). Amaraizu, who is a Director in the Nigerian Nationwide League One (NLO), told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Tuesday that the Super Eagles have started on “a good footing”. NAN reports that the match ended 1 – 0 in favour of the Super Eagles; through a goal scored at the 30th minute of play by its forward, Kelechi Iheanacho.

Shonekan: Nigeria has lost true nationalist, says Bello

IMO APC IS ONE UNITED PARTY UNDER HON. MACDONALD EBERE, Ph.D

...DAN NWAFOR IS FAKE, NOT MEMBER OF APC The All Progressives Congress, APC, Imo State chapter under the competent leadership of Hon  Macdonald K. Ebere, PhD, KSJI, describes as vile, repulsive, childish and foolish, a press release by one Michael Anyanwu, (which apparently is a pseudo name as such name does not exist in the records of the APC Imo State chapter), laying provocative and false claim to the leadership of the party in the State for one Dan Nwafor. Though worthless and not deserving of our response, but for clarification purposes and the benefits of our teaming members we want to make it manifestly clear that the APC in Imo State has no two chairmen. We do not have two factions either. Imo State APC is one united family held under one article of faith, and ably led by our indefatigable nay visionary Hon. Macdonald Ebere, as chairman and His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, as the leader. It is important to inform the general public, esteemed party faithful a

IMO BUBBLES AGAIN AS UZODIMMA TACKLES INSECURITY

Prior to the holidays, the opposition in the State had vigorously campaigned against the State, urging Imolites and tourists not to visit the State for whatever reasons as their security wouldn't be guaranteed.  But then, upon the assurance of safety and protection by the People's Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, Imolites and tourists disregarded the unpatriotic call and came to Imo in their numbers. Evidently, all domestic flights inbound Owerri were fully booked as from December 15th 2021 through to the New Year. At the moment, all outbound are fully booked up on till next week as visitors and Ndi Imo in Diaspora return back to their bases. Hoteliers and road transporters are having a swell time with massive patronage as was the case of Imo of yester years. These are products of the intelligence based  approach
