Here Is Bola Tinubu's Stand On The New APC

Kanye's call for boycott of LV fails miserably. Fashion brand sells out

  

It seems like quite a number of people don't like Kanye and they spent their money to prove it. A few days after he called for a boycott of giant fashion brand Louis Vuitton, the exact opposite of what he was hoping for happened. Louis Vuittion sold out and a new record was even set for online sales. 

After Kanye West told people to not buy any Louis Vuitton until after January the company took action and sent an e-mail to their best customers who responded in a huge way. The company says that sales surged this week and when final numbers came in that a new record was set for online sales and that customers responded to the attack by Kanye by coming to the brand for the first time and there were many small transactions by people who wanted to show their support for anything that is anti-Kanye." CDN reports

During that radio interview Kanye said "They think I don't realize my power." Guess he's not as influential as he thinks he is.

Volocopter: 18-propeller electric helicopter takes flight

German engineers celebrate as the Volocopter, one of the world's first electric helicopters, takes off on its maiden flight.

There's a lot to be said for determination. Two years ago, a contraption that looked a bit like a bouncy ball attached to a clothesline, took flight in a pioneering experiment in the German countryside.

A YouTube clip of a man flying the electric "Multicopter" attracted over 8 million hits, with comments ranging from: "AMAZING MACHINE!" to "Not sure you could pay me enough to sit in the middle of flying blenders bolted together."

Regardless, the three German engineers behind the baffling creation plowed ahead with their dream of making an electric helicopter. Last week it paid off.

Release Asari-Dokubo Or Be Ready For A Showdown - Militants Tell Benin Republic

Following the arrest of former militant leader, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, Tuesday, in Benin Republic, the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, NDPVF, has warned the authorities of the West African nation to free the Niger Delta activist or be ready to face its wrath.

NDPVF issued the warning in Abuja last night, in a statement signed by its leader, Mr. Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro.

Likening the arrest to a kidnap by the authorities, NDPVF said the group was appalled by the unprovoked breach of the fundamental rights of the youth leader.

“We hold this arrest as an absurdity. It is unprovoked and questionable and has been without any reason from the government of Republic of Benin.

“We consider this as a kidnap of our leader by the President of Republic of Benin working with certain opposition figures in Nigeria.

“We hereby make demand on President Yayi Bonni of the Republic of Benin to release, unconditionally and with immediate effect, our leader Alhaji Asari-Dokubo and offer unreserved apology to him for this monumental breach of his rights.





“We call on all the aggrieved youths of Niger Delta to be on red alert and ready for a total showdown and shut down if in the next 48 hours his release has not been made.

“We call on the President of the Nigerian union to mediate on this potential diplomatic row that may lead to an unprecedented conflagration.”

Kenya appeals to UK not to ban khat

 Khat is banned in most of Europe

Kenyan MPs have appealed to the UK not to "condemn people" by banning the herbal stimulant khat.

The leafy substance, grown by many Kenyan farmers, was of economic and cultural significance to many Africans, MP Florence Kajuju told the BBC.

The UK government has decided, against the advice of its own experts, to treat khat as a class C drug to "protect vulnerable members of our communities".

It is traditionally used by Ethiopian, Kenyan, Somali and Yemeni communities.

The mildly narcotic leaf is already banned in most of Europe and in a number of other countries, including the US and Canada.

Mali's coup leader Sanogo charged with murders

Mali's ex-coup leader has been charged with "murders and assassinations", the justice ministry has said.

Armed troops went to Amadou Sanogo's home to take him before a judge, after which he was remanded in custody.

He had repeatedly been called in for questioning over the deaths of six soldiers during an army protest in September but failed to appear.

The March 2012 coup plunged Mali into chaos, allowing Islamist militants to take over territory in the north.

The al-Qaeda-linked insurgents were ousted from the major towns in the north with the help of France and West African troops earlier this year.
