The accused, Emmanuel Nnamani was given bail due to a bad eye
A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Port Harcourt has granted bail to one of the 45 Biafra separatists standing trial.  
The accused, Emmanuel Nnamani was granted bail in the sum of N50, 000 on Friday, February 17 due to a bad eye, The Authority reports.
Nnamani was alleged to have been hit in his right eye by security agents before he was arrested.
The accused was standing trial on a two-court charge of conspiracy to commit treasonable felony and display of unruly behavior.
The chief magistrate Andrew Jaja also issued a hearing notice to the Rivers state commissioner of police or the state Attorney General to appear in court to explain reasons why the accused should not be granted bail.

“Hearing notice would be served the Attorney General or the commissioner of police to come and show cause why the accused persons should not be released unconditionally pending the advice of the DPP (Director of Public Prosecution),” Jaja said.
The accused were remanded in prison custody while the case was adjourned to Friday, March 3.
Earlier, the Counsel to IPOB, Mr Inalagwu Adoga, had prayed the court to grant the accused persons bail since their case file had not reached the Department of Public Prosecution.
Inalegwu explained that it would be in the interest of justice for the court to grant the suspects bail.
Speaking to newsmen after the court session, Adoga called on the federal and Rivers state governments to resolve the Biafra agitation amicably like that of the Niger Delta issue.

“’The Biafra situation started 51 years ago. It has been lingering on and on. I have written to the federal government for a dialogue to end this matter before it gets out of hand.
“I think it is time for the Federal Government to sit down and call on the leadership of IPOB to discuss the matter,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Ohaneze Ndigbo has warned that most Igbos may soon join Biafra agitation, if the region continues to be marginalised and treated unfairly.

ARE WALL GECKOS REALLY POISONOUS?

  Few days ago I got a shared post from a friend on the poisonous nature of Wall geckos. As usual I copied and shared in a Whatsapp group without any prior search. Not sooner than later had I dropped it that I got a striking question from another friend, any empirical evidence to support this?".  At first I felt why would one need evidence to support the widely accepted notion of the 'poisonous' nature of wall geckos. Why look for evidence for something that has killed people in most parts of Nigeria? Was it not better one took cover? Three days later I decided to give it a thought. I went back to search like the Berean Christian. After a critical study, I found out there are NO scientific evidence to support that wall geckos are poisonous. It's an illusion. The superstitious beliefs about the innocent Hemidactylus frenatus has really gone wild. My findings : 1.Wall gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) is non-poisonous. 2. The superstitious beliefs a...

VTU AIRTIME BUSINESS

  Is it really possible to earn 45% interest in pure profits just selling airtime? Absolutely yes. This is because people consume airtime as much as they consume water today. If you are still reading this post then it is certain that you are also using airtime (converted to data-MB/GB). Do you know according to NCC, we have over 130 million active GSM LINES in Nigeria as at June 2014. Telecoms Average Revenue Per User in Nigeria is N2000 per month, therefore monthly airtime usage per month is N260 Billion. The popular way of loading a phone with airtime or credit is by buying a recharge card or voucher and then loading it on your phone with a USSD code. e.g *555*XXXXXX# for MTN subscribers. The other way is the digital method called Virtual Top Up (VTU). With VTU, the phone will be directly credited by the vendor and there will be no need for scratching a card or loading with USSD. The buyer will just receive an alert that his phone has been topped up. The buyer also rece...
