<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An environmental engineer, Mr Isaac Bryant, on Saturday urged conversion of human urine into fertiliser and other products that would have higher environmental value.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Urine, which most of us consider as waste, is a valuable resource which we can use directly as fertiliser.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Urine is very safe, hygienic, easy to handle and collect, and easily available,“ Bryant, a lecturer at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, told the News Agency of Nigeria.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He spoke to NAN at the 2017 African Clean Up Conference taking place in Cape Coast with the theme: “Exploring New Horizon and Sustainable Best Practices in Waste Management and Recycling’’.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The three-day conference which began on Thursday was organised by the African Clean-up Initiative – an NGO committed to promoting environmental activities in communities and schools.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bryant said that human urine was part of domestic waste water, which could be used as fertiliser.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lecturer said that using urine as fertiliser posed minimal health risk to both the environment and human beings.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He advised countries to tap into the resource rather than rely on chemical fertiliser which, he said, impacted negatively on the environment and posed a health risk to humans.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Rather than use chemical fertiliser for crops, human urine is better.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We can use human urine to cultivate crops such as maize, okro, tomato, pepper, garden eggs and some other vegetables,’’ he said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bryant said that countries could instruct their universities and research institutions to pilot the usage of human urine for agriculture, and sensitise the public to the benefits.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to the lecturer, use of human urine as fertiliser would reduce public discharge of the urine and promote a clean and safe environment.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to H-Metro, Pastor Jonah Marecha of Rhema Ministries is currently enmeshed in an adultery scandal for impregnating one Hannah, a member of his church, who he promised to marry but later asked her to terminate the six-weeks old pregnancy.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pastor Marecha was said to have secretly met a gynecologist identified as Ashton Goredema and paid him the sum of $30 as a fee for inquiries concerning the pregnancy termination. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speaking to H-Metro, Hannah said the overall leader of the church, Prophet Tinashe Mugonda, threatened to kill her if she dared to expose Marecha. </span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I was threatened with either death or poverty if I was not to comply with Jonah’s orders to abort the pregnancy. Jonah referred me to doctor Goredema at Chinhoyi Hospital and I questioned why he wanted to do such an evil act and he told me he had already paid for the procedure.'</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'I have my WhatsApp and audio conversation with the doctor and that of prophet Mugonda, who is always threatening me for exposing their evil acts in the church.' </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'Prophet Mugonda is now saying Rhema is an interdenominational group not a church and Jonah is not one of his pastors after I threatened to expose his secrets that included dating church members along with his junior pastors. My health was affected following the abortion and I’m facing complications.'</span></blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The accused pastor refused to comment on the allegation but H-Metro claims they have a WhatsApp conversation between Jonah and Hannah. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Confirming the allegations, Prophet Mugonda, the head pastor of the church said the issue was brought before him but described the accused pastor as only a member of the church as well as Hannah.</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“This issue was brought to my attention, but I could not handle it to its fullest since we only met the two at interdenominational prayer meetings only. As for Jonah and Hannah visiting the doctor for abortion that I am aware of, Jonah is only a church member and not a pastor as what Hannah wants people to believe. The issue is being handled at family level as far as I know.”  said Prophet Mugonda. </span></blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for Dr. Goredema who was accused of facilitating the abortion, he denied his involvement saying:</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I am a gynecologist, but I never facilitated Hannah’s abortion, I do not know her and neither do I know Jonah whom is said to have paid me,” said Dr. Goredema. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I only handle issues that come through the hospital, not the back door,” he added. </span></blockquote>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our attention has been drawn to certain publications and we wish to briefly comment on the issues:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That it is on record that certain personalities threatened the life of one of our recording and performing artiste in the person of mr Kingsley Okonkwo (KCEE) and have also gone ahead to threaten to distort  the reputable image of KCEE in the eyes of the right thinking members of the society and more especially his esteemed fans and business associates</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In order to protect the life , image , integrity and reputation of our artiste, he approached the court of law to seek for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights which he is entitled to as a Nigerian citizen. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In addition, he has also sought the Nigerian Police to protect his life and investigate the threat to his life . As a law abiding citizen he did not wish to re-sought to self help reason why he decided to seek a legal solution .</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We want to state categorically that this issue has nothing to do with oppression or intimidation and regardless of whatever story that has been told to attract unmerited public sympathy, it is only time that will tell the truth as it has always been the order of the day prior to previous matters concerning same uncultured elements .</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We therefore appeal to our fans, well wishers , friends and family , business associates to be calm during the period.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Attah said that the wide gap between the 245 e-wallet access and the 68 bidders who were able to recharge was due to a challenge with the banks.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Stanford University economist Tony Seba has predicted that the era of petrol cars will soon vanish with the appropriation of eight years from now. </span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The professor’s report, with the deceptively bland title Rethinking Transportation 2020-2030, has gone viral in green circles and is causing spasms of anxiety in the established industries.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Mr Seba’s premise is that people will stop driving altogether. They will switch en masse to self-drive electric vehicles (EVs) that are 10 times cheaper to run than fossil-based cars, with a near-zero marginal cost of fuel and an expected lifespan of 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometres).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Only nostalgics will cling to the old habit of car ownership. The rest will adapt to vehicles on demand. It will become harder to find a petrol station, spares, or anybody to fix the 2000 moving parts that bedevil the internal combustion engine. Dealers will disappear by 2024.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Cities will ban human drivers once the data confirms how dangerous they can be behind a wheel. This will spread to suburbs, and then beyond. There will be a “mass stranding of existing vehicles”. The value of second-hard cars will plunge. You will have to pay to dispose of your old vehicle.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It is a twin “death spiral” for big oil and big autos, with ugly implications for some big companies on the London Stock Exchange unless they adapt in time.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The long-term price of crude will fall to $US25 a barrel. Most forms of shale and deep-water drilling will no longer be viable. Assets will be stranded. Scotland will forfeit any North Sea bonanza. Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Venezuela will be in trouble.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It is an existential threat to Ford, General Motors, and the German car industry. They will face a choice between manufacturing EVs in a brutal low-profit market, or reinventing themselves a self-drive service companies, variants of Uber and Lyft.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">They are in the wrong business. The next generation of cars will be “computers on wheels”. Google, Apple, and Foxconn have the disruptive edge, and are going in for the kill. Silicon Valley is where the auto action is, not Detroit, Wolfsburg, or Toyota City.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The long-term price of crude will fall to $US25 a barrel.

Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Venezuela will be in trouble.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The shift, according to Mr Seba, is driven by technology, not climate policies. Market forces are bringing it about with a speed and ferocity that governments could never hope to achieve.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“We are on the cusp of one of the fastest, deepest, most consequential disruptions of transportation in history,” Mr Seba said. “Internal combustion engine vehicles will enter a vicious cycle of increasing costs.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The “tipping point” will arrive over the next two to three years as EV battery ranges surpass 200 miles and electric car prices in the US drop to $US30,000 ($40,600). By 2022, the low-end models will be down to $US20,000. After that, the avalanche will sweep all before it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“What the cost curve says is that by 2025 all new vehicles will be electric, all new buses, all new cars, all new tractors, all new vans, anything that moves on wheels will be electric, globally,” Mr Seba said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“Global oil demand will peak at 100 million barrels per day by 2020, dropping to 70 million by 2030.” There will be oil demand for use in the chemical industries, and for aviation, though Nasa and Boeing are working on hybrid-electric aircraft for short-haul passenger flights.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Mr Seba said the residual stock of fossil-based vehicles will take time to clear, but 95 per cent of the miles driven by 2030 in the US will be in autonomous EVs for reasons of costs, convenience, and efficiency. Oil use for road transport will crash from 8 million barrels a day to 1 million.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Insurance costs to fall by 90 per cent</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The cost per mile for EVs will be 6.8 cents, rendering petrol cars obsolete. Insurance costs will fall by 90 per cent. The average American household will save $US5600 per year by making the switch. The US government will lose $50 billion a year in fuel taxes. Britain’s exchequer will be hit at the same rate.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“Our research and modelling indicate that the $10 trillion annual revenues in the existing vehicle and oil supply chains will shrink dramatically,” Mr Seba said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“Certain high-cost countries, companies, and fields will see their oil production entirely wiped out. Exxon-Mobil, Shell and BP could see 40 per cent to 50 per cent of their assets become stranded,” the report said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">These are all large claims, though familiar those on the cutting edge of energy technology. While the professor’s timing may be off by a few years, there is little doubt about the general direction.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">India is drawing up plans to phase out all petrol and diesel cars by 2032, leap-frogging China in an electrification race across Asia. The brains trust of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for a mix of subsidies, car-pooling, and caps on fossil-based cars. The goal is to cut pollution and break reliance on imported oil, but markets will pick up the baton quickly once the process starts.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">China is moving in parallel, pushing for 7 million electric vehicles by 2025, enforced by a minimum quota for “new energy” vehicles that shifts the burden for the switch onto manufacturers. “The trend is irreversible,” said Wang Chuanfu, head of the Chinese electric car producer BYD, backed by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">At the same time, global shipping rules are clamping down on dirty high-sulphur oil used in the cargo trade, a move that may lead to widespread use of liquefied natural gas for ship fuel.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is all happening much faster than Saudi Arabia and Opec had assumed. The cartel’s World Oil Outlook last year dismissed electric vehicles as a fringe curiosity that would make little difference to ever-rising global demand for oil.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It predicted a jump in crude consumption by a further 16.4 million barrels a day to 109 million by 2040, with India increasingly taking over from China as growing market. The cartel said fossils will still make up 77 per cent of global energy use, much like today. It implicitly treated the Paris agreement on climate targets as empty rhetoric.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Whether Opec believes its own claims is doubtful. Saudi Arabia’s actions suggest otherwise. The kingdom is hedging its bets by selling off chunks of the state oil giant Saudi Aramco to fund diversification away from oil.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Opec, Russia, and the oil-exporting states are now caught in a squeeze and will probably be forced to extend output caps into 2018 to stop prices falling. Shale fracking in the US is now so efficient, and rebounding so fast, that it may cap oil prices in a range of $US45 to $US55 until the end of the decade. By then the historic window will be closing.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Experts will argue over Mr Seba’s claims. His broad point is that multiple technological trends are combining in a perfect storm. The simplicity of the EV model is breath-taking. The Tesla S has 18 moving parts, one hundred times fewer than a combustion engine car. “Maintenance is essentially zero. That is why<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Tesla is offering infinite-mile warranties. You can drive it to the moon and back and they will still warranty it,” Mr Seba said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Self-drive “vehicles on demand” will be running at much higher levels of daily use than today’s cars and will last for 500,000 to 1 million miles each.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It has long been known that EVs are four times more efficient than petrol or diesel cars, which lose 80 per cent of their power in heat. What changes the equation is the advent of EV models with the acceleration and performance of a Lamborghini costing five or 10 times less to buy, and at least 10 times less to run.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“The electric drive-train is so much more powerful. The gasoline and diesel cars cannot possibly compete,” Mr Seba said. The parallel is what happened to film cameras – and to Kodak – once digital rivals hit the market. It was swift and brutal. “You can’t compete with zero marginal costs,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The effect is not confined to cars. Trucks will switch in tandem. Over 70 per cent of US haulage routes are already within battery range, and batteries are getting better each year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">EVs will increase US electricity demand by 18 per cent, but that does not imply the need for more capacity. They will draw power at times of peak supply and release it during peak demand. They are themselves a storage reservoir, helping to smooth the effects of intermittent solar and wind, and to absorb excess base-load from power plants.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank England and chairman of Basel’s Financial Stability Board, has repeatedly warned that fossil energy companies are booking assets that can never be burnt under the Paris agreement.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He pointed out last year that it took only a small shift in global demand for coal to bankrupt three of the four largest coal-mining companies in short order. Other seemingly entrenched sectors could be just as vulnerable. He warned of a “Minsky moment”, if we do not prepare in time, where the energy revolution moves so fast that it precipitates a global financial crisis.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The crunch may be coming even sooner than he thought. The Basel Board may have to add the car industry to the mix. There will be losers. Whole countries will spin into crisis. The world’s geopolitical order will be reshaped almost overnight. But humanity as a whole should enjoy an enormous welfare gain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A former Ambassador to the Gambia Segun Oladele, has called for the restructuring of the country adding that the process should include the return of Okun people of Kogi state to the South West.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speaking with our correspondent, Oladele said that the Okun people will fare better being with the Yoruba people of the South West than in the North Central.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He said that the restructuring of Nigeria cannot be complete without merging the people of Okun land with Ekiti state “where they rightly belonged”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The former ambassador said that the Okun people had suffered marginalisation, poverty and distrust from the three senatorial districts in kogi state.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He said such treatment does not guarantee the survival of the Okun people in the midst of such hostility.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He noted that there would be a national conference by the okun development association where issues on how to ‎move okunland forward and reunite with the yoruba race would be discussed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oladele, urged members ‎of the Association to speak in one voice so as to achieve the goals of the conference.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He said it was only by peaceful dialogue that Nigerians can remain as one‎ adding that their should be more clamor for restructuring rather than hate speech and breakup.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Nigeria has committed to support and partner the ECOWAS Network of Electoral Commissions (ECONEC) in the conduct of credible elections to ensure socio-political stability in the West African sub-region.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Acting President Yemi Osinbajo made the pledge when the leadership of the ECONEC led by its president, Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, visited him in the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He explained that Nigeria’s decision to continue to support the electoral bodies was informed by its belief in the fundamental principles of free elections.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“It is one of those initiatives that we should be proud of and must support, and I can assure you that the government of Nigeria will fully support your efforts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“In the past, as you pointed out Prof, we have supported several of our brothers in the sub-region and we intend to continue to do so because we believe in the fundamental principles of free elections.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“And we believe that the only way to ensure stability in society is to ensure that people have a right to elect their leadership but not just a right on paper but a right in practice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“And the only way by which that right can be manifested in practice is by free and fair elections.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He congratulated Mahmud Yakubu on his election as ECONEC President, and thanked all members of the network for giving (Yakubu) him the opportunity to serve them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He also thanked the members for giving Nigeria the honour to host the secretariat of the ECONEC permanently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He said: “you said it was unanimous and I’m glad to know it was unanimous because who would have been able to resolve the electoral conflict.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“Again, I must congratulate you and thank all of the members of the network for giving Prof. Yakubu an opportunity to serve and thank you for giving Nigeria the honour to host the secretariat of the ECONEC permanently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“We promise (to provide) all the support that will be required by the secretariat and will be required by the officials of the secretariat.’’</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The acting president expressed the hope that the ECONEC would be able to bequeath to coming generations strong nations that would be led by the rule of law and democratic principles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">According to him, this is the only way African countries can be stable as well as assure generations yet unborn of stability and progress and abundance in the sub-region.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In his remarks, Yakubu, who narrated the history of ECONEC, said the sub-regional electoral body was formed to ensure the conduct of free, fair and peaceful elections through exchange and sharing of ideas and experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The purpose is to come together and assist one another in the areas of experience sharing, peer review and any other support that we can render in ensuring credible elections.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“At the moment and the first time in the history of the sub-region, all 15 countries in ECOWAS are democracies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“Gone are the days in some countries you had one government in the capital another in the bush. All the governments are in the capital now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“So, this is a great moment for us.’’</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“And in the last one year or one and half, we have had violence free, successful elections in Niger Republic, Benin Republic, the Gambia, Ghana and the Republic of Cape Verde and the results were accepted and celebrated.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The ECONEC President added that Senegal also conducted a successful constitutional referendum while parliamentary and local elections were also conducted successfully.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He announced that ECONEC Steering Committee would soon undertake needs assessment visits to Liberia and Sierra Leone where elections would be held in Oct. 10 and March 2018 respectively.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“For Liberia and Sierra Leone, Your Excellency, these are countries that have emerged not too long ago from very unhappy developments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“And it is very good that now that we have all democracies, we should come together to see how we can assist and ensure free and fair credible elections within the sub-region.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“Our belief, (Your Excellency) is that it is better to deploy ECONEC than to come back to you later to deploy ECOMOG.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“So, this weekend, we will leave for Sierra Leone and Liberia.’’</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Yakubu stated that the outcome of their missions to Liberia and Sierra Leone would be communicated to the ECOWAS Commission.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“And where there is need for assistance from individual countries, I’m sure that those countries will take the matter up bilaterally,’’ he maintained</span><br />

Femi Falana: Senates has no power to confirm any person appointed by the President in acting capacity

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img alt="Image result for femi falana" src="https://www.360nobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Falana-640x431.jpg" /><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Human right activist and constitutional lawyer, Femi Falana, has expression shocking displeasure in which the Upper chamber are going with the issues that deals with the confirmation of EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Falane in a statement release yesterday, says the only way in which the acting chairman of the EFCC can be remove from office is when the senate president becomes the acting president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In his statement, he describe the attempt as illegal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Read the full text of his statement below...</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mr. Ibrahim Magu was appointed as Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in November 2015 by President Muhammadu Buhari. The appointment was made by the President sequel to section 171 (1) of the Constitution. After Mr. Magu had acted in that capacity for over a year the Senate refused to confirm his appointment as the substantive Chairman of the EFCC. However, as President Buhari was satisfied with the performance of Mr. Magu he decided to retain him as the Acting Chairman of the EFCC. A couple of days ago, the Senate revisited the matter. In a rather bizarre move, the Senate decided to combine legislative powers with executive functions by passing a resolution which purportedly directed the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, to remove Mr. Magu from the post of the Acting Chairman of the EFCC forthwith. The resolution of the Senate was alleged to have been anchored on section 2(3) of the EFCC Act which provides as follows: “The Chairman and members of the Commission other than ex-officio members shall be appointed by the President and the appointment shall be subject to confirmation of the Senate.” Before passing its resolution the Senate ought to have known from the clear and unambiguous provision of section 2 (3) of the EFCC Act that it has not been vested with the power to confirm or approve any person appointed by the President to hold office in an acting capacity. To that extent, the resolution of the Senate constitutes an affront to section 171 (1) of the Constitution which stipulates that: “Power to appoint persons to hold or act in the offices to which this section applies to remove persons so appointed from any such office shall vest in the President.” The offices involved are those Head of Service, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Permanent Secretaries and Heads of extra ministerial departments of the Government. It is further submitted that Section 2 (3) of the EFCC Act relied upon Senate to justify the confirmation of the Chairman of the EFCC is inconsistent with section 171 (2) of the Constitution. Indeed, of all the positions listed in subsection 2 of the Constitution it is only in the appointments of ambassadors and high commissioners made by the President which require the confirmation of the Senate. See section 171(4) thereof. Since the EFCC is an extra ministerial department of the Federal Government the appointment of its Chairman does not require the confirmation of the Senate. In other words, section 2 (3) of the EFCC Act is inconsistent with section 171 (2) of the Constitution. To that extent, the resolution of the Senate based on the EFCC Act is an exercise in futility. Although neither the Presidency nor the Senate has deemed to seek interpretation of the relevant provisions of the Constitution from the Supreme Court the power of the President of the Republic to make certain appointments without the confirmation of the Senate had been challenged. In Festus Keyamo v The President & 4 Ors. (See www.premiumtimesng.com) the plaintiff challenged the appointment of service chiefs without the confirmation of the Senate. The trial court set aside the appointments as the power of the President to appoint service chiefs under section 218(2) of the Constitution is on the ground that the appointments were qualified by section 218(4)(b) thereof which provides that the National Assembly shall have power to make laws for the regulation of "the appointment, promotion and disciplinary control of the members of the armed forces of the Federation." As the Constitution has made the appointments of service chiefs subject to laws enacted by the National Assembly the court was on a terra firma when it ruled that the appointments so made required confirmation in line with the section 18 of the Armed Forces Act. But in the case of Ebun Adegboruwa v Attorney-general of the Federation (Unreported) Suit No:FHC/L/CS/1405/2012 the plaintiff had challenged the appointment of Colonel Hameed Ali (retd) as the Comptroller-General of Customs on the ground it was not made by President Buhari in consonance with a Federal Government Gazette of 1985. The Gazette in question had provided that a new Comptroller-General of Customs must be appointed from the pool of Deputy Comptrollers-General of Customs. In dismissing the action the Federal High Court (per Hassan J.) held that by the combined effect of sections 5 and 171 of the Constitution the provisions of the Gazette could not restrict or limit the powers of the President to appoint the Comptroller-General of Customs from outside the public service. In the same vein, it is crystal clear that section 2 (3) of the EFCC Act cannot subject the appointment of the chairman of the EFCC to Senate confirmation contrary to the provisions of section 171 of the Constitution. In view of the foregoing, the implementation of the resolution of the Senate on the removal of Mr. Ibrahim Magu as the Acting Chairman of the EFCC should be ignored by the Presidency on account of its apparent illegality. However, the distinguished Senators who are desperate to institutionalize official corruption and impunity in the country by removing Mr. Magu from office may have to wait for the planned installation of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki as the Acting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!</span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sources close to the warring couple tell us Rob is cutting Chyna off financially. He'll no longer make payments on her Tarzana rental. He also has the 2 cars he gave her and jewelry as well. We're told Chyna actually returned the cars and jewelry to Rob.<br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>She's fine paying the rent herself -- she's squirreled away money from various appearances as well as their reality show. She's also confident she has earning power post-Rob. The big ticket item -- supporting Dream. Our sources say Chyna has no intention of going to court for child support, at least for now. We know Rob wants to raise the baby himself, and it doesn't seem Chyna is putting up much of a fight on that front. Fact is ... her other kid, King Cairo, is being raised primarily by Tyga.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's unlikely in the foreseeable future either one of them will go to court for money or custody. They both have significant issues, and we're told they don't want to risk an adverse ruling by a judge.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">The secret state of North Korea on Monday launched its first successful ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile test) which US officials say is a new kind of missile that had a range of about 5,500 kilometers (3,400 miles), capable of hitting Alaska in the United States .</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">It was supreme leader, Kim Jong-Un's first successful intercontinental missile launch, and it psychologically shook leaders on the other side of the pacific, not least U.S president, Donald Trump- and it brings to the fore the fact that in theory, Pyongyang could soon hit the US with a nuclear-capable missile.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">On Wednesday, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, during an emergency UN Security Council meeting called North Korea's intercontinental ballistic missile launch test a "clear and sharp military escalation" and also warned countries like China supporting North Korea with trade to desist or face huge problems with the US.</span></span><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'There are countries that are allowing, even encouraging, trade with North Korea in violation of UN Security Council resolutions," Haley said.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Such countries would also like to continue their trade arrangements with the United States. That's not going to happen. Much of the burden of enforcing UN sanctions rests with China," she said. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "We will work with China ... but we will not repeat the inadequate approaches of the past that have brought us to this dark day." </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'The US is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies," Haley said. "One of our capabilities lies with our considerable military forces. We will use them if we must, but we prefer not to have to go in that direction."</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Gen. Vincent K. Brooks, who leads U.S troops in South Korea performed a military drill after North Korea's missile launch and said in a statement Wednesday that the only thing stopping war with North Korea was "self restraint."</span></span><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Despite North Korea's repeated provocation the ROK-US alliance is maintaining patience and self restraint," Brooks said in a joint statement with South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Lee Sun Jin.<br />"As the combined live fire (drill) demonstrated, we may make resolute decisions any time, if the Alliance Commanders in Chief order. Whoever thinks differently is making a serious misjudgment."</span></blockquote>

What is my crime this time?- Harrysong ask Kcee for dragging him to court

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes i wonder if issues settled out of court actually make meaning because i see no proper judgement involve. This is the case of Harrysong and his formal label mate, Kcee. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you recall, back in February, Five Star Music arrested Harrysong along with his new Alterplate manager, Desmond Ike on criminal charges involving fraud, forgery and impersonation. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The matter was however settled out of court when Daddy Showkey intervened. In May, Harrysong exclusively confirmed to us that he is no longer contractually obligated to Five Star Music and this was a decision supported by the label chairman, E-Money and Kcee.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hence he was free to now relaunch his label, Alterplate. Although details are still sketchy, Kcee has now dragged both Harrysong and Soso to court and they all seem ready for war!</span></span><br />

A Zimbabwean government official, Felix Dube, who works at the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has dragged his disable wife to court, accusing her of beating and harassing him emotionally.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
At a Magistrate court in Bulilima, Mr.Dube who is an accountant at the Ministry asked the court to grant him a 'protection order' against his wife, Mrs. Vusile Dube.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Speaking in court, Mr. Dube said: “My wife has assaulted me on several occasions. At one time she used my phone to assault me. She once gained entry into my car with the assistance of her relative and took my valuables. She also shouts at me using vulgar words in the presence of our minor children. She has also locked me out of the house several times forcing me to sleep outside in my car and ripped up my clothes. I still love my wife but I beg the court to grant me a protection order as I fear for my life. She is tormenting me.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
“My husband is the one taking advantage of my disability to assault me knowing that there is nothing I can do to defend myself. I have never disturbed his peace, taken his valuables or tore his clothes. In fact, he has on several occasions confiscated my valuables. At one time he forcefully took my bank cards and refused to release them when I wanted to pay my medical bills." </blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A policewoman has been accused of helping suspected kidnapper Chukwudumeje George Onwuamadike (aka Evans the kidnapper) escape justice in 2006. The woman identified as Tina was until her arrest, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP). She was unveiled by a Special Investigation Panel  (SIP) put together by  Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris to probe Evans’ 2006 arrest, transfer from Lagos State to Imo State and eventual release. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">After the Evans was arrested last month, a senior police officer told reporters that his team had apprehended Evans in 2006 after a bank robbery. The officer claimed that Evans and his gang members had a gun duel at the National Theatre in Surulere, Lagos Mainland after a disagreement in sharing their loot.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">According to the officer, Tina, who was a Superintendent of Police (SP) at that time, mounted pressure on them to release Evans and two of his members who had been arrested at that time, but they refused to grant her request,.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So she went through Imo State Command, where a signal was sent for the transfer of the suspects.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">After this was revealed and thoroughly investigated, Tina was arrested.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">He said the police might soon release statement on the issue. A soucre close to The Nation said:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
“I can tell you that Tina is not the woman’s real name but I won’t give you her name. I can also tell you she’s now a CSP and still in service. So many officers took part in that 2006/2007 release of Evans and they are being investigated. The panel has made progress and almost all of them have been identified. An official statement might be release by the authorities soon.”</blockquote>
