BREAKING: United States Finally Instructs Nigerians On Who To Vote For In The 2019 Historic Elections

Whitephilip blog
Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the United States, US, Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington,
has urged Nigerians not to vote based on promises, but on the record of those making the promises.
Symington said this in a video, while wishing Nigerians a Merry Christmas.
He urged Nigerians to remember that their future is in their hands, and no foreign power can solve their problems, but all solutions can only come from within.
The US Ambassador said: “As you go into 2019, you will be facing a new round of elections. What you do in those elections would be crucial not just for you, but for all of us. And as you get ready, I ask you to think of three things.
“First, charge your potential Leaders with this notion: Say not just what you say you will do for the country, but what have you already done. Second, it is incredibly important that you recognise that in a democracy, it is you who gets to make the decision.”
Symington urged Nigerians to guard their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, and not sell them.
The US envoy, urged Nigerians to report any anomalies on the election day, adding that, the task of improving democracy is a collective one.
He stated: “On election day and every day, the citizens of Nigeria are the ones that lead this country, so take good care of your voters cards, make sure no one convinces you to either give it to them, or sell it to them on election day.
“I hope you will vote, and I hope you will vote for people who do not just say the right thing, but people who you are convinced based on their records, will do the right thing for you and for others.”
Symington praised the many Nigerians, who have in one way or the other contributed to the development of the nation.
He specifically praised the 83-year-old Imam of Nghar village, Gashish District, in the Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Alhaji Abdullahi Abubakar, who saved about 300 persons, on June 24, when suspected herdsmen invaded about 15 communities, in the Barkin Ladi LGA, killing over 200 persons.

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...
