2019: Northern elders brainstorm on consensus candidate


Alhaji Tanko Yakassai
Friday OLOKOR, Jos
Elders and key political actors in the North on Saturday brainstormed in Abuja to pick a consensus presidential candidate from the zone for the 2019 general elections.

The elders under the aegis of Northern Elders and Stakeholders, said the meeting with the theme:“Northern Elders and Stakeholders Conversation”, was organised to seek ways of reaching an accord for an acceptable person who would fly the zone’s presidential ticket.
According to them, even though President Muhammadu Buhari and the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, were from the North, they were not chosen by Northerners but imposed on the North in particular and the country in general by certain forces.
They therefore vowed to resist a repeat of such imposition, which, they said, had bred the country’s leadership failure resulting in killings and ethno-religious divisions associated with nepotism.
The meeting was convened by a former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed; former Deputy Senate President, Ibrahim Mantu and Senator Paul Zannan.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
