COMMUNAL CLASH: Delta community dismisses alleged imposition of N1m on male indigenes

THE people of Igbide community, Isoko South Local Government Area, Delta State, have described as malicious and unfounded, media reports that a fine of N1 million was imposed on male indigenes of the community, who fled the area in the recent bloody clash with neighbouring Okpolo-Enwhe over a disputed piece of land.

Reacting to the media reports, President of Igbide Union, Chief David Edegware, in a statement, yesterday, said “To further prove the point that Igbide community is not the aggressor in this conflict and that we have always toed the path of peace, on June 13, 2016, information came to us that an Okpolo-Enhwe man and his wife strayed into our territory and were apprehended. “Despite the tension, this information generated, the Ovie of Igbide and the President managed the situation to forestall the rise in tempers that may lead to another bloody clash. Thus, the man, Mr. Onowakpo and his wife were promptly handed over to the security operatives who took them in their vehicle to Enhwe.”

Maintaining that the publication was based on speculations, hearsays, the statement added that “It is therefore, safe to conclude that there is no truth whatsoever in the claim that Igbide community did at any time impose a fine or levy whatsoever on any indigene as fallout of the crisis. “Ordinarily, Igbide community would have ignored the hogwash as it is in the litter bin of truth loving Deltans, but for the magnitude of misrepresentation and failed attempt to portray Igbide as the aggressor and in bad light, we therefore, feel duty-bound to clear the air.”

A foodstuff seller, Chidi Ibiam, 27, was yesterday sentenced to 21 years imprisonment by an Ikeja High Court for defiling a six-year-old girl. They worship in the same church. The presiding judge, Justice Sedoten Ogunsanya, found the convict who lives at Baruwa, Ipaja area of Lagos, guilty of one-count charge of defilement. The judge held: “I have noted all the relevant facts of this case before me. The defendant is, hereby, found guilty of the crime of defilement and is sentenced to 21 years in prison.” During the trial, the prosecution, led by state counsel, Mr Adebayo Haroun, had told the court that Ibiam committed the offence on December 15, 2012, and was caught after the victim reported the assault to her mother. According to the prosecution, the convict is well known to the victim’s family as he was a neighbour and fellow church member. Testifying before the judge, the six-year-old girl (names withheld), had told the court that the defendant had unlawful carnal kno

How is the price of Bitcoin calculated?

How is Bitcoin calculated? I know a lot of people have this question on their mind. Well, here's a good explanation as provided by Luno.com Many people wonder how the price of Bitcoin is calculated, but it’s important to remember that it works no different than it would with other currencies or objects. Let’s first look at how the prices of most things are derived - we can use oranges as an example. What is the price of an orange? Well, it depends. As a starting point, one would derive the price of an orange based on two things: how much someone is trying to sell it for, and how much another person is trying to buy it for. If John wants to sell it for USD2.50 and Sarah is only prepared to pay USD2.00, there is no deal. But if they agree on a price that works for both, let’s say USD2.25, then the transaction will happen. If it’s winter there might be more people wanting to buy oranges, so the price will go up. Or if there is a drought the supply of oranges will become less,

Bethesda's E3 2015 kick off: Fallout 4 release date, Doom, Dishonored 2, and more

At first there was nothing. Empty space. The soft quiet of the void. Darkness. An idea, floating in a barren wasteland. And then, a lone voice—loud and getting steadily louder. " Faaaaaaallllllllllooooouuuutttttt ." Thusly did E3 2015 come into being. And let me extend a warm welcome. Sunday night, Bethesda held its first ever E3 press conference at the historic Dolby Theater in Los Angeles (the same venue as The Oscars). Thanks to rumors, leaks, and Bethesda's own marketing, we already knew almost every announcement ahead of time, but…damn. That Fallout 4 trailer. In case you were busy sleeping, eating, or otherwise going about life as a normal, well-adjusted human, here's what you missed. Bethesda wasted no time, kicking off with Doom (4) . And oh hey— Doom exists. Like, we actually saw a hefty amount of in-game footage, and then a big ol' Doom logo splashed onscreen and somewhere in the ether John Romero's hair probably tingled a bit.
