More than 200 Nigerian migrants stranded in Libya have been returned to their home country

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said that all Nigerians stranded in Libya and other parts of the world will be brought home and "rehabilitated," calling it appalling that "some Nigerians were being sold like goats for few dollars". German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the time for action had come. "It's very important that we simply support Africans to put a stop to illegal migration, so people don't have to either suffer in horrible camps in Libya or are even being traded."
More than 200 Nigerian migrants stranded in Libya have been returned to their home country, Nigerian officials said. The 242 migrants landed at Lagos airport on a Libyan Airlines flight at around 9:00 pm local time (3:00pm ET) on Tuesday. Among them were women carrying children and at least one man in a wheelchair. Nigerian authorities say they worked on returning the migrants from Libya in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Some of the 242 men and women who returned had been in Libyan detention camps while others willingly approached the Nigerian embassy in Libya to return home because of hardship there, authorities said. Meanwhile Former Barcelona, Chelsea and Inter Milan striker, Samuel Eto’o, has denied claims that he paid for flight tickets to help Cameroonian immigrants return home from Libya. Amid the slave trade crisis in the North African country, reports (such as this one) stated that Eto’o, who currently plays for Turkish club Antalyaspor, spent millions of dollars booking a plane for Cameroonians stuck in Libya. “Let us build our Africa,” Eto’o In a Facebook post, the 36-year-old striker refuted these reports, slamming them as an ‘absolutely unfounded’ rumor. He wrote, “Several sites have circulated a rumor that I would have given money to every migrant returnee, in relation to a topical issue. This rumor is absolutely unfounded! “I would therefore take advantage of this opportunity, dear brothers and sisters, to emphasize that love prevents more evils than money can solve.
“So, let’s not waste our precious time looking for thrills at the expense of grieving people, but let us use this time to prevent other brothers from being deprived of their dignity. “Let us not just react when we can prevent, because among these victims are certainly people who have been our neighbours at some point, but to whom we have not daigné to look kindly. “Let us build our Africa by having a positive impact on each other!”.

In the BBC interview, the couple gave an insight into their 16-month romance - and described how they met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend. Ms Markle told how she could not wait to say "yes" to the prince when Harry got down on one knee a few weeks ago as they cooked a roast chicken dinner at his home, Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace. On Monday, Prince Harry revealed he proposed earlier this month during a "standard, typical "It was just an amazing surprise. It was so sweet, and natural and very romantic.

ndebele and shona tribal conflict till when?

The government's tribal policies effected in 1980 have reduced tribes in Matabeleland to second class citizens.Ethnic groups in the province and some parts of the Midlands have been subjected to worst forms of institutionalised tribalism and it is getting worse.
The truth of the matter is that as Zimbabweans, we have much more in common than we realise and it would be in our best interest if we could come together and become one people, accepting and celebrating our diversity. We should all be sharing ideas on how to achieve the change that we crave. The tensions between the two ethnic groups have spilled over into social media.I had the opportunity recently to share the experience of our one of Bulawayo’s artist Jeys Marabini. This statement was taken from Jey’s Facebook, on the 24th of November 2017, I had the privilege and honour to have been invited as one of the musicians that provided entertainment to the Nation of Zimbabwe at the Presidential Inauguration of the New President of the New Zimbabwe His Excellency CDE Emmerson D Mnangagwa. My disappointed was when we took upon the stage to serenade the multitudes with the musical performance that we had prepared for this historical event. As we began to sing our Ndebele songs that the organisers of the event invited us knowingly that we sing such songs. Part of the multitudes began to catcall at us “atindzwi Ndebele” meaning we do not understand isiNdebele language. This then led to cans, plastic bottles amongst other items being thrown at myself and the Kozekulunge band.
Upon noticing that my band members were being hit at, and that the organisers were not addressing the crowds and bringing order, I took it upon myself as the leader of the Jeys Marabini and Kozekulunge Band to restore order and address the hooligans and tribalists who were rabble-rousers. We all know that one cannot perform in such an environment. I stopped the band and told the rabble-rousers to stop tribalism because Zimbabwe is a nation that consists of different tribes, races and creeds. After all that happened in the last number of days that led to the culmination of this New Zimbabwe, the people from all various verticals united and therefore throwing of cans, bottles etc. at us means that a certain tribe is still superior than others. This led to the people to stop and they became quiet. It’s so painful that after 37years of attaining independence as a nation we are still having this kind of a problem of tribalism. As a musician I personally believe that music builds bridges and unites people. It is critical that this issue be addressed in this New Zimbabwe failure to do so we have a problem as Zimbabweans. My question is what does this mean to the people of other tribes who are Zimbabweans? .

The new President Emmerson Mnangagwa ready to serve the nation

Zimbabwe's new President Emmerson Mnangagwa has addressed a packed stadium, vowing to serve all citizens. He said he felt "deeply humbled" to take the role. And he said he was "not oblivious to the many Zimbabweans from across the political and racial divide who have helped make this day." Emmerson Mnangagwa has vowed to be a president for all Zimbabweans at his inauguration ceremony on this Friday afternoon, which he also paid tribute to veteran leader Robert Mugabe as his "father" and "mentor." Mr Mugabe left office dramatically this week after 37 years of authoritarian rule. His departure followed a power struggle in which Mr Mnangagwa was sacked as vice president to pave the way for Grace Mugabe, the then-first lady, to take up the presidency.
Mr Mnangagwa fled the country but returned as a hero "The task at hand is that of rebuilding our country," he said. "I am required to serve our country as the president of all citizens regardless of colour, creed, religion, tribe, totem or political affiliation." Despite admitting he played a role in Mugabe's demise, Mnangagwa used his first official address to the nation to show respect to Mugabe, whom he said he still personally considered his leader. "He led us in our struggle for national independence. He assumed responsibility for leadership at a formative and very challenging time," Mnangagwa said, adding later that the nation should "let bygones be bygones." Mnangagwa laid out his vision to re-energize Zimbabwe's economy, including pledging to implement a series of reforms to boost exports, attract foreign investment and stabilize the financial sector.

Robinho in prison for gang rape

An Italian court sentenced former Manchester City, AC Milan and Brazil forward Robinho in absentia to nine years in prison on Thursday after convicting him of taking part in a gang rape of an Albanian woman in 2013. Robinho was found guilty of assaulting a 22-year-old woman at a nightclub in Milan in 2013, when he played for AC Milan. Five other men have also been found guilty of the offence. The forward, who left AC Milan in 2015 after five years, was not in court but pleaded not guilty via his lawyer. The sentence will be put on hold until the appeals process is completed. Robinho, capped 100 times by his country, spent two years at Manchester City and currently plays for Atletico Mineiro in Brazil. A post on Robinho's Instagram page said he had "already defended himself against the accusations, affirming that he did not participate in the episode" and that "all legal measures are being taken".

Nurse with poor English put patient at risk

A NURSE who put patients at risk because of her ‘insufficient knowledge of English’ can carry on working. Romanian-born Rodica Olteanu, 34, struggled with a 999 call at Ty Gwynno nursing home in Pontypridd. Olteanu was unable to answer the call handler’s questions — and needed help from medically unqualified colleagues before confirming a patient’s life was at ‘immediate risk’. The patient was later successfully treated. Olteanu was supposed to do an English test but she refused, claiming she could not get time off a new job. Concerns where again raised when she worked at the University Hospital of North Midlands Trust in Stoke. A Nursing and Midwifery Council panel sitting in Cardiff, also heard Olteanu did not accept her English was below standard, saying that until the 999 call ‘no one had any complaints’. David Newman, who chaired the panel, said Olteanu’s lack of English ‘could place the public at risk of harm’, but suspending her registration would be ‘disproportionate’

Robert Mugabe has resigned as president of Zimbabwe

Robert Mugabe has resigned as president of Zimbabwe with immediate effect after 37 years in power, ushering in a new era for a country as uncertain as it is hopeful. The man who ruled with an autocrat’s grip for so many years finally caved to popular and political pressure hours after parliament launched proceedings to impeach him. He had refused to leave office during an eight-day crisis that began when the military took over last week. Clinging to the formal vestiges of power, he was unable or unwilling to recognize that after so many years of political mastery, he had lost control of both his party and the country. Mugabe, who outwitted and outlasted so many opponents during his career, had appeared determined to fight on, turning a televised address to the nation on Sunday, when he was expected to announce his own retirement, into a defiant description of future plans.
So when the parliament speaker, Jacob Mudenda, announced that Mugabe had submitted his resignation in a letter, there was wild jubilation in parliament, replicated within minutes by large crowds on the streets of Harare and in other major cities. “I’m excited for myself, my baby, the whole nation,” said Mildred Tadiwa, who was out with her five-month old daughter. “My daughter will grow up in a better Zimbabwe.” Meanwhile in Johannesburg - Hundreds of Zimbabweans who fled their homeland for South Africa during the despotic rule of Robert Mugabe took to the streets of Johannesburg to celebrate the resignation of the hated president. Blowing vuvuzelas, waving Zimbabwean flags and stamping their feet, Zimbabweans danced their way through Hillbrow, a cosmopolitan Johannesburg neighbourhood with a strong community of African immigrants. "We want to go back home, even tomorrow, even now at night. I'm very happy," Spiwe Ncube, 42, told ngiyesabanews, 16 years after leaving Zimbabwe "to find food" in neighbouring South Africa. Mugabe took power in 1980 and set his country - once known as southern Africa's bread basket - on a course of economic disaster, and agricultural production plummeted in the wake of farm reforms.

Mnangagwa "The Crocodile" l will be back soon when l am safe

The Crocodile, former Zimbabwe vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa, has urged President Robert Mugabe to resign immediately.
Emmerson Mnangagwa said he fled abroad two weeks ago when he learned of a plot to kill him, and he would not return until he was sure of his security. Parliament has now begun a session in which the ruling Zanu-PF party is to start impeaching the president. Mr Mugabe is accused of allowing his wife to "usurp constitutional power". Speaking from an undisclosed location on Tuesday, Mr Mnangagwa said the 93-year-old president should heed the "clarion call" of his people and step down. "I told the President that I would not return home now until I am satisfied of my personal security, because of the manner and treatment given to me upon being fired," he said in a statement. Further street protests have been called in Harare, raising fears that the political turmoil could spill over into violence. Mr Mugabe also suffered humiliation on Tuesday when almost no government ministers heeded his call to attend a cabinet meeting at his State House residence, official media reported. Mr Mnangagwa's intervention is his first public move since the army seized control.

MY TAKE ON CRISIS IN ZIMBABWE...

By Enisia Mashusha
It is with a heavy heart and depressed mind that I get to note the deplorable nose diving state of my country the Republic of Zimbabwe under the watchful eye of President Robert Mugabe and his cabinet full of able bodied men who have allowed the state capture by the First Lady Grace Mugabe under the watch. In our African culture, it is taboo to scold elders, people whom we regard in high esteem to be full of wisdom and knowledge about life itself and survive skills. We are also a culture that has a long way in the emancipation of women, that's why I dedicated my life to the upliftment of women and the girl child, the preservation of our cultures and norms., respect of our way and our elders who other women test with disdain are down treading left right and centre. The state if Zimbabwe has never been in this crisis that it sees itself in today. Never until President Robert Mugabe decided to privatise the country and made it a personal business, since Grace Mugabe's so called invitation into active politics we have witnessed a down turn of events in our beloved country. She has disposed 2 Vice Presidents under her belt, displaced thousands of people at her instruction. Lives have changed for the worse because of Grace and the name of Zimbabwe have descended into deplorable levels as she treats not only Zimbabwe, but the whole of Africa as her backyard as she acts and thinks as if she is always right and she is the only one with rights, hence she can beat innocent children at her will and insult people far much older than her and get away with it. To begin with all her words and actions do not reflect the humanity of a mother, not only a mother of people but a mother of "The Nation" who must nurture it and endure the pain of a mother when things are not going well in the house. To be able to get the land for the orphanage in Mazowe many people were left homeless by a mother who is supposed to give them homes and shelter. Joyce Mujuru was not spared. Now Grace Mugabe wants to be the Vice President, that's why she was allowed to vilify government leaders in ways never unheard of. That's why she was allowed to control government departments when she holds no position in Government, that's why she flexed her muscles in South Africa where she beat the poor girl thar was being taken advantage of by her children, not caring how much the mother of the poor girl felt..mmmm amai marwadzisa

Mugabe The Master of Gambling “The Story Goes On”

Mugabe remains head of state against all the odds after refusing to resign as president. The whole nation and the world was expecting Mugabe to stand down in a historic address live on television, after conceding to military takeover.
Instead, he clings to power following a rambling speech that left the nation stunned and baffled. In a statement delivered in Harare Mugabe claimed military intervention, which saw him placed under house arrest four days ago, was no challenge to his authority. The army stepped in to block Grace Mugabe’s tilt at power. Speaking slowly and occasionally stumbling as he read from pages, Mugabe his concern was solidarity to resolve national problems. He ended his speech by saying he will preside over an upcoming conference of the ruling Zanu-PF party. His defiance comes despite his sacking by Zanu-PF and in the face of huge public opposition. The ruling party says Mugabe must resign as president by midday Monday, or face impeachment Mugabe’s son Chatunga Bellamine Mugabe has used Facebook to lash out at attempts to depose his father. Chatunga referred to his dad by the name of his clan, writing: “You can't fire a Revolutionary leader! Zanu PF is nothing without President Mugabe. “Gushungo will always remain the champion of champions! “Proud of you Gushungo. Proud of Dad. Gushungo always and forever to death.”

Zimbabwe Key Figures To Succeed Mugabe

Emmerson Mnangagwa Mnangagwa, 75, has been a close ally of Mugabe’s since 1974, when the two were leading members of the political wing of the Zimbabwe African National Union liberation movement. A veteran of the country’s war of independence from 1964 to 1979, when Zimbabwe was known as Rhodesia, Mnangagwa is known by his "the crocodile". Mnangagwa narrowly escaped being hanged after being convicted by a Rhodesian court under the country’s terrorism act. The court gave him an 11th-hour reprieve after determining he was under 18. Over the past 37 years he’s headed both the intelligence and defence ministries, as well as the ministry of justice. Mnangagwa became vice president in 2014 – a short-lived appointment brought to an end by the enmity of Mugabe’s wife, Grace, who heads a faction of mainly younger Zanu-PF officials loosely known as Generation-40. Mnangagwa’s faction is known as Lacoste, named after the French clothing company’s crocodile logo. Constantine Chiwenga Chiwenga is the overall commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, or ZDF. Born in 1956, he joined the war for liberation in 1973, a year after it began in earnest. He rose through the ranks to become a brigadier when, after the war ended, the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army, the Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army and the Rhodesian army merged into a single entity known as the ZDF. In 1994, he was promoted to lieutenant-general and in 2004 replaced General Vitalis Zvinavashe as the head of the ZDF. Beneath him, Lieutenant-General Philip Valerio Sibanda commands the army, and Air Marshal Perence Shiri the air force. Valerio Sibanda Sibanda fought with the Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army during the liberation war before rising to command Zimbabwe’s land and special forces. Sibanda also commanded a combined international force of United Nations peacekeepers that oversaw the disarming of Angolan combatants after that country’s 30-year civil war ended in 2002. Unusually in Zimbabwe, Sibanda hasn’t previously been seen to be in an overtly political position. Perence Shiri Shiri, born in 1955, commanded Zimbabwe’s notorious Fifth Brigade, a special army unit trained by North Korean instructors that was deployed in Zimbabwe’s Midlands and Matabeleland provinces in the 1980s. The brigade carried out atrocities including torture and the extrajudicial execution of more than 3,000 people between 1982 and 1987, according to New York-based advocacy group Human Rights Watch. Shiri became commander of the air force in 1992. Grace Mugabe Robert Mugabe's second wife, who is more than 40 years his junior, has risen from presidential typist to the most powerful woman in Zimbabwe. They met and had their first two of three children while Mr Mugabe's first wife, Sally, was terminally ill with cancer, though they only married after her death. Her alleged appetite for extravagant shopping earned her the moniker Gucci Grace. While her supporters point to her charitable and philanthropic work and refer to her as "Dr Amai", meaning "mother", her critics accuse her of pursuing a ruthless campaign for wealth and power. Joice Mujuru who Mugabe fired in 2014 alleging that she was trying to topple him, is now the president of the National People’s Party. She also leads a grouping of opposition parties (People’s Rainbow Coalition) as its presidential candidate for the 2018 elections.

Mugabe his first public appearance since the military seized control

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe his first public appearance since the military seized control of the country, attending a graduation ceremony at Harare's Open University on Friday morning. His the chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe and goes to the ceremony each year, we hope this will be his last visit before he resigns.
In an apparent display of defiance, the 93-year-old arrived at the ceremony on today dressed in a blue academic gown and tasselled hat. The event appears to allow him to project the image of leadership, even as calls for his departure after 37 years in power grow stronger. It came during an extraordinary series of negotiations with regional leaders. Zimbabwe's military said it was making "significant progress" in the talks while it pursues and arrests some allies of the leader and his wife. A senior source in Zanu-PF told Reuters news agency the party was due to meet on Friday to draft a motion to fire Mr Mugabe on Sunday. If Mr Mugabe still refuses to stand down, the party plans to impeach him on Tuesday, according to the source. Meanwhile Morgan Tsvangirai, a former prime minister and long-time opponent of Mr Mugabe, said he must resign "in the interest of the people". He added that "a transitional mechanism" would be needed to ensure stability.

Zimbabwe military's on a mission

Zimbabwe's Major General SB Moyo, Chief of Staff Logistics, made the following speech on national television after the military seized it and blocked off access to government offices:
"Following the address we made on November 13, 2017, which we believe our main broadcaster, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation and The Herald were directed not to publicize, the situation in our country has moved to another level. Firstly, we wish to assure the nation that His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, and commander-in-chief of Zimbabwe Defence Forces, Comrade RG Mugabe, and his family are safe and sound and their security is guaranteed. "We are only targeting criminals around him who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice. "As soon as we have accomplished our mission, we expect that the situation will return to normalcy. To the civil servants, as you are aware, there is a plan by the same individuals to influence the current purging that is taking place in the political sphere to the civil service. We are against that act of injustice and we intend to protect every one of you against that. "To the judiciary, the measures under way are intended to assure that as an independent arm of the state you are able to exercise your independent authority without fear of being obstructed as has been the case with this group of individuals.
"To our members of parliament, your legislative role is of paramount importance for peace and stability in this country and it is our desire that a dispensation is created that allows you to serve your respective political constituencies according to democratic tenets. "To the generality of the people of Zimbabwe we urge you to remain calm and limit unnecessary movement. However, we encourage those who are employed and those with essential business in the city to continue their normal activities usual. Our wish is that you enjoy your rights and freedoms and that we return our country to a dispensation that allows for investment, development and prosperity that we all fought for and for which many of our citizens paid the supreme sacrifice. "To political parties we urge you to discourage your members from engaging in violent behavior. "To the youth we call upon you to realize that the future of this country is yours. Do not be enticed with dirty coins of silver. Be disciplined and remain committed to the ethos and values of this great nation. "To all churches and religious organizations in Zimbabwe we call upon you and your congregations to pray for our country and preach the gospel of love, peace, unity and development. "To both our people and the world beyond our borders, we wish to make it abundantly clear that this is not a military takeover of government. What the Zimbabwe Defence Forces is actually doing is to pacify a degenerating political, social and economic situation in our country, which if not addressed may result in a violent conflict. "We call upon all the war veterans to play positive in ensuring peace, stability and unity in the country. "To members of the defense forces, all leave is canceled and you all to return to your barracks with immediate effect. "To our respected traditional leaders, you are our custodians of our culture, customs, traditions and heritage and we request you to provide leadership and direction to your communities for the sake of unity and development in our country. "To the other Security Services: We urge you to cooperate for the good of our country. Let it be clear that we intend to address the human security threats in our country. Therefore any provocation will be met with an appropriate response. "To the media; we urge you report fairly and responsibly. "Thank you."

Mukoma Jah Stoned at Funeral

JAH Prayzah’s bid to pay his last respects to his former aide, the late Crispen Nyemba, backfired when he was manhandled and stoned at Glen Forest Memorial Park yesterday. Nyemba died in a car accident along Samora Machel Avenue in the early hours of Sunday. The lanky musician, who was accompanied by his manager Keen Mushapaidze, had to run for dear life across the Glen Forest Memorial Park, with some irate mourners in hot pursuit.
Amid the unfolding drama, some mourners had to temporarily abandon proceedings and scamper for the nearest cover amid a hail of misdirected objects aimed at the “Kutonga Kwaro” hit-maker. Jah Prayzah, who was wearing a grey outfit, could be seen being shepherded from the graveside by a sea of people, all the while ducking and placing a protective hand over his head to avoid the flying missiles.
It seems The Musician owned his late Bouncer money Crispen Nyemba 3months salary, a family relative have revealed. Tamburai Nyemba a family spokesperson said Cris told wife, the whole family and me that Jah Prayzah owned him some money, and left the band to start his own security company.
