But no one has predicted with high confidence that Russia would strike this early with its gas. Yes, Russian energy giant Gazprom has announced the suspension of natural gas supplies to the EU via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, for an indefinite period, due to technical malfunctions.

  Organ H@rvesting: Don’t release my biodata to Ekweremadu and London Court – Victim begs Nigerian court David Ukpo, the victim of the alleged organ h@rvesting scandal involving Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, on Tuesday asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to set aside its July 1 order for the release of his bio-data for use in a London court in Ekweremadu’s trial.

I am just months older than you are. “But Bishop, you will help build Nigeria. The greatness of a nation is on your shoulder. It’s on my shoulder too and we must build it together. I must and I will contribute handsomely and personally to build and see to the completion of that institution.” Credit: Twitter | Omo_Oye2
