Ekweremadu doesn’t deserve this disgrace from IPOB miscreants, he negotiated Nnamdi Kanu's release - Nwodo

The President-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, John Nwodo has condemned the attack launched by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Ike Ekweremadu during the second annual Igbo Cultural Festival held in Nuremberg, Germany.

Commenting on the attack, Nwodo stated that it strengthens the case of those who describe them as terrorists and weaken the case against the infringement of their fundamental human rights.

He also revealed that the attacked former Deputy Senate President who was expected to deliver a keynote address at the event in Germany, negotiated the sureties and securities for Nnamdi Kanu’s release on bail. 

“The assault on Ekweremadu by Igbos in Germany, described as IPOB, is disappointing, grotesque and dangerous for Igbo solidarity,” he said.

“This violent, rude, impertinent, divisive and discourteous style of IPOB or IPOB instigated miscreants is damaging to our cause. It strengthens the case of those who describe them as terrorists and weaken our case against the infringement of our fundamental human rights.

“Ekweremadu negotiated the sureties and securities for Nnamdi Kanu’s release on bail. He does not deserve this picketing and disgrace. A disgrace to him is a disgrace to Igbo race.

“Whilst I condemn the attack on our revered son and leader, I call on the law enforcement agencies in Germany to bring to book the perpetrators of this despicable act. It is un-Igbo. It is disgraceful.”

I was attacked by IPOB in Germany - Senator Ike Ekweremadu confirms, reveals why

Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has confirmed that he was attacked by some members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) at the Second Annual Cultural Festival and Convention organised by Ndi-Igbo Germany in Nurnberg, Germany. 

The Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial district at the red chamber revealed that shortly after he arrived the venue and was given a resounding welcome by organizers of the event in Germany, some IPOB members stormed the venue complaining about the killings in the South East and also insisted that there would be no Igbo event at the venue.

Ike Ekweremadu said he had to leave the venue of the event after the IPOB members became unruly when he tried to engage them. He however added that he was disappointed in their conduct as he has always spoken against the extra-judicial killings in Igbo land and elsewhere both on the floor of the Senate and in written and personal engagements with the Presidency. The lawmaker also disclosed that he rallied the South East Senate Caucus to secure Nnamdi Kanu’s release with Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe taking him on bail to douse tension in the South East.

Barcelona lose their first opening La Liga fixture since 2009.

With Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez out injured, Barcelona lost their opening La Liga match 0-1 away to Athletico Bilbao, the first time since 2009.

Artiz Aduriz scored Bilbao’s goal in the 89th minute, in a game that the defending champions truly deserved to lose. According to statistics, Bilboa had five shots on target to Barcelona’s one, though Barcelona had 72 per cent of possession.

What they obviously lacked was the clinical finish, accentuated by the absence of captain Lionel Messi, who is for now sidelined by injury. And it was remarkable that the only shot the champions had towards goal was by Suarez in the 33rd minute, the last act that created his injury.

Kcee blames fans over celebrities' fake lives

Kcee has pushed the blame of celebrities living fake lives as witnessed in the Nigerian entertainment industry on the fans.

Alleging that most celebrities lead fake lives, the Five Star Music boss stated that people don't like it when one is real. He further disclosed that this pressure pushes many into faking it till they make it. 

“90 per cent of celebrities lead fake lives because you guys (the public) are putting them under pressure. People don’t like it when you are real; they prefer it when you lie to them, and that’s why many fake it until they make it.

“If you are very honest and truthful with them (fans), your records will have slow sales. 80 per cent of celebrities rent apartments but they would claim they bought the houses. They go through that because fans put them under so much pressure. That you see someone on television does not mean the person is worth N1bn, so people should stop thinking that we’re living in heaven on earth" he told Saturday Beats.

As for the car gift, well, I work so hard for it. Yes, but then I cannot cough out money to buy such a car; it’s not that I can’t buy a car for myself. This particular Mercedes Benz is a gift. I don’t care what people say, I won’t mention who bought it for me. That’s exactly what happened last year when my boy- friend bought me a Venza; people kept saying all sorts of things. People will always talk and I don’t care" she said.
