AFRICAN BASKETBALL LEAGUE’S RESPONSE TO THE DEFAMING, UNGUARDED AND PATENTLY INCORRECT STATEMENTS OF THE NBBF

The attention of the African Basket Ball League and Africa Sports and Entertainment Management Company Limited (collectively, the “ABL”) has been brought to a press release issued by the Nigerian Basket Ball Federation (“NBBF”) on various social media platforms.
At the outset, it is important to state that the ABL would have refrained from joining issues with the NBBF in the media, but is constrained to promptly make this succinct statement to correct the various patently inaccurate statements contained in the NBBF’s press release. Equally significant, is to state that nothing that the ABL has done came as a surprise to the NBBF.  Indeed, quite the contrary.

SECOND LETTER TO PRIESTS OF AHIARA CATHOLIC DIOCESE

By Ifeanyi Afuba
         The world is in a tragic state when salesmen do not believe in their products.
                                             - Fulton Sheen
It is some ten months now since I lent my voice to other interventions asking you to relent in opposition to the Vatican’s appointment of Most Rev Peter Okpaleke as the Bishop of Ahiara Catholic Diocese. My letter of April 2015 published in both the mainstream and social media was directed at you the priests for the simple reason that you are considered the inspiration behind the revolt in the Diocese and secondly, for the fact that to whom much is given, much is expected. As I indicated in the aforementioned comment, your stance on the subject matter is something of a puzzle to some of us considering that you are far more educated on Church history and teachings than we, the laity. Your role in this saga is a riddle because you cannot be in doubt about the consequences of the ensuing course of events.

Anambra will no longer tolerate PDP’s multiple candidature- APC

 

Our party is glad at the incremental progress made so far in the clean-up of elections conducted particularly in Anambra State and generally in Nigeria.

We are therefore as worried as Anambra Central constituents and the rest of Anambra State sympathizers that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which lost all the aptitude to be run as a political party is once again returning to its degenerate ways of unleashing multiple candidates in one race as a fowl winning strategy.
