Breaking: Shootings in Bayelsa Assembly, as irate youths storm complex, aborts sitting, mace removed


The sitting of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly ended abruptly on Monday as irate youths numbering over hundreds the security storm the complex shooting sporadically distrupting the sitting. 

The shootings began when the Speaker was about to enter the chambers after a heated three hours closed door meeting with members.


In the ensuing melee, the mace was removed by unidentified persons as the lawmakers and journalists scamper for safety. There was tension around the Assembly complex in the build up to the sitting where the Speaker was expected to resign or face impeachment in an event he fails to resign.

     Fraser-Pryce wins fourth women’s 100 metres world title Jamaican sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won her record fourth women’s 100 metres world title in Doha on Sunday in stunning style. The 32-year-old — also a two-time Olympic champion — coasted to an impressive victory in a world-leading time for the year of 10.71 seconds. Fraser-Pryce — who had dyed her hair a multi-coloured mix — punched the air in front of the Jamiacan team seated in the stands before taking a national flag from them. She collected her two-year-old son Zyon — he was born the day after the 2017 championships had finished which prevented her from defending her title in London — and paraded with him round the track sadly in front of largely empty stands. “To be standing here as world champion again after having my baby, I am elated,” said Fraser-Pryce. “The females keep showing up. We love to put on a performance and for me I am just really happy to come away with the win.” Fr...

San Siro: AC Milan beaten again as Fiorentina stroll to victory AC Milan’s nightmare start to the 2019/2020 Serie A season continued on Sunday when they fell to a 3-1 defeat at home (San Siro) to Fiorentina and had a man sent off. Erick Pulgar put the San Siro’s visitors ahead from the penalty kick spot.  Then, Gaetano Castrovilli doubled their lead, after Mateo Musacchio had been shown a straight red card for a rash challenge early in the second half. Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saved a Federico Chiesa penalty kick. The third goal can be said to be delayed for a while until Fiorentina finally got it. Franck Ribery should be thanked for that but AC Milan also managed to return a goal when Rafael Leao pulled back a consolation for the hosts with 10 minutes remaining. This is their third consecutive defeat in just over a week heaps more pressure on embattled coach Marco Giampaolo and leaves them in 16th place on six points, one point above the relegation z...

6 MATES YOU MUST MARRY One of the ways your marriage will not add to the rate of divorce in our world today is for you to marry your mate and if you are married already, make your spouse your mate! You see that statement of ‘ Am I your mate?’ does not apply in marriage. You must marry your mate. I will like to talk on seven dimensions you and the person you want to marry or you have married must be mate. 1. MARRY_YOUR_SPEAKING_MATE Marry someone you can speak together and understand each other. Communication is very crucial in marriage. Don’t marry someone that, when you are saying ‘A’ he or she will be saying ‘ Z’ Once there is dichotomy in your speaking and understanding level, you can’t enjoy that marriage. So many men go to bar to hang out with friends and gist till 11pm because they know their wives can’t engage in any meaningful intellectual discussion.
