mcw casino link vn IPOB Political Wing, IPW, has stated that its aim is to back members to aspire to be political offices in the country, saying that such is the aim of creating a political wing in the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, a separatist agitation group. IPW says that it is making the clarification in response to a statement credited to Chika Edoziem, spokesman for the IPOB’s Directorate of State, DOS, which denounced and disclaimed IPW. There has been a cross fire of verbal attacks between IPW and its parent body, the IPOB. IPW claims to be a political Wing from the parent body seeking to be part of Nigeria’s political process. In IPW’s statement issued by Emereonye Nwachukwu the spokesman of the group, it noted that IPOB’s tactics for achieving a state of Biafra is obsolete. He made references to the civil war and the advent of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, which never saw fruition. Emereonye noted that it is unnecessary to stay and rant all year when getting involved in politics can bring the much touted freedom to the Igbo people in Nigeria. “Nnamdi Kanu agrees with IPOB Political Wing and has called for negotiation with the federal government on this. “He has successfully entered into a couple of political concessions, he knows there is no other way. ” He agreed to need for election to take place and more. “However, since Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and detained, none of this people have visited him. “You all are all in hiding like fearful rats in a hole. Only the politicians you attack were able to meet him, despite Nigerian politicians being evil an unpatriotic,” Emereonye said.FanDuel Promo Code: Get $150 Bonus Before Ravens-Chargers Kickoff

Quarterback Brock Purdy threw without pain Monday and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan will wait until midweek to evaluate the progress of edge rusher Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams as the team determines whether they’ll play next weekend in Buffalo. It remains to be seen who will and won’t be available when the 49ers embark on a cross-country trip to face the AFC East-leading Bills, currently 9-2 and the No, 2 seed in the conference. The 49ers are expected to get a practice lift with the activation of linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who will begin his 21-day window off injured reserve after offseason Achilles surgery after being injured in the Super Bowl. Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who worked with the scout team last week as he works through his grief following the loss of his 23-month-old daughter, may also begin getting work again with the first team. Are things actually looking up for the 49ers? One thing for sure is that the 49ers are looking up at everybody else in the AFC West but are still only a game out of first place with Seattle and Arizona at 6-5 and the 49ers and Rams at 5-6. It’s clear to Shanahan that any pathway to the playoffs would be as a division title rather than as a wild card, where Washington holds the final spot at 7-5. “You look at the whole NFC picture and if you don’t win the division, 10-7 is not guaranteed to get in as a wild card by any means this year,” Shanahan told reporters during his weekly conference call. “That is why the Seattle game was so tough, and that’s why last night was even worse. “We know exactly what the playoff situation is, but really all that matters is this week when you do need to go on a run and put a lot of wins to even think of that, then you’d better be thinking of only one thing – and that’s Buffalo.” Should Purdy be unable to go, Shanahan said Brandon Allen would get a second start at quarterback after he played Sunday in Green Bay. SNAP JUDGEMENTS 72: Safeties Ji’Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha and middle linebacker Fred Warner played every defensive snap. 49: When Allen at quarterback and Jaylon Moore at left tackle play every snap (along with Colton McKivitz, Dominick Puni and Jake Brendel) then you know there’s a problem with injuries. And Allen and Moore were the least of their problems. 44: Leonard Floyd played 61 percent — about his usual number — even without Nick Bosa in the lineup. With 3 1/2 sacks in his last two games, he’s a half-sack behind Bosa for the team lead. 33: Rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall Jr. played 67 percent of the snaps — the same as Deebo Samuel — and did not have a pass thrown his way. 21: Robert Beal Jr. played a season-high number of snaps in Bosa’s absence at defensive end and did not appear on the stat sheet for having a tackle or an assist. 9: Running back Jordan Mason has played 14 snaps in three games since McCaffrey’s return and has six carries for 26 yards. 4: Tashaun Gipson was promoted to the 53-man roster but still hasn’t played on defense in three games at safety. He had four special teams snaps against Green Bay. More to come on this breaking story . . .

Photo: GMCOG Siding with allies indiscriminately with no regard for what is right and what is wrong will find no international support. Ignoring basic facts and infringing on other's sovereign rights and interests in the name of law will end in failure, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said while delivering a keynote speech via video at the 5th Symposium on Global Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance on Tuesday. Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that China is prepared to work with relevant countries to properly handle maritime differences through negotiations and consultations, maintain peace and stability at sea, and promote lasting ocean security. Experts and scholars participating in the Symposium also emphasized the importance of resolving maritime disputes through peaceful negotiations based on mutual respect within a multilateral framework. China believes firmly that enhancing dialogue and cooperation, maintaining maritime peace and stability, and advancing global ocean governance represent the general consensus and the prevailing sentiment of the international community, said Wang, adding that China is ready to work hand in hand with the international community to turn the ocean into a place of peace and tranquility, a source of prosperity and development, and a platform of inter-civilization exchange and integration shared by all countries of the world. During a session titled Settlement of Maritime Disputes: Dialogue or Confrontation, participating experts agreed that disputes should be resolved through dialogue and cooperation. In recent time, due to continuous provocations by the Philippines under the instigation of the US, disputes in the South China Sea have become increasingly internationalized and complex. Rommel C. Banlaoi, Chairman of the Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence and Terrorism Research, told Global Times that Philippines government is implementing what he calls an excessive pro-Americanism in its foreign policy, adding that ASEAN is not comfortable with that. Banlaoi noted that the ASEAN way is balancing relationships between the two major powers, China, and the US, however, the Philippines is favoring the US against China, which is against the principle of ASEAN for friendship, peace and neutrality in the region. Sorajak Kasemsuvan, a council member of the Asian Peace and Reconciliation Council from Thailand, said that "we have to make sure that all relevant parties continue to engage in dialogue." Ongoing dialogue is essential for enabling cooperation among nations on maritime resources, biodiversity, and environmental issues. Relevant countries should make it clear to external parties that they are managing their own affairs and do not need foreign interference, Kasemsuvan told the Global Times, commenting on the South China Sea issue. "History shows us that the best way to progress human beings on this planet is through dialogue, not through confrontation. We know that is the central lesson of history," Peter Thomson, the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Ocean, told the Global Times. He also expressed his hope that the South China Sea issue will be resolved by peaceful discussions between the parties involved. The Symposium, which kicked off on Tuesday in Sanya, South China's Hainan Province, attracted nearly 300 participants, including experts, scholars, former political leaders, senior diplomats from foreign embassies in China and representatives from international organizations and maritime agencies.

The Bears say they want to stay in Chicago, but their potential drive to the northwest suburbs just got easier. Team officials announced Monday they’ve reached a tentative agreement with the village of Arlington Heights and local school district leaders who’ve sparred with the Bears over the property tax valuation on the shuttered Arlington International Racecourse, the 326-acre plot the team closed on early last year as a potential new stadium site. After about a year of wrangling over the size of the team’s property tax bill — and a year of political roadblocks to the Bears’ hopes for funding a new stadium in Chicago — the team says it has a memorandum of understanding that opens the runway for them to land in Arlington Heights. But their first choice is still Chicago, team officials insist, raising the constant question of whether Bears’ latest announcement is a push for leverage in stadium negotiations that have now stretched over three years. In a statement, team officials said they “remain focused on investing over $2 billion to build a publicly owned enclosed stadium on Chicago’s lakefront while reevaluating the feasibility of a development in Bronzeville.” “That being said, we remain significant landowners in Arlington Heights and establishing a framework for potential future development planning, financing and property tax certainty has been a priority since the land was purchased. We continue to have productive conversations with the village and school districts and are aligned on a framework should we choose to explore a potential development,” team officials said. Arlington Heights Mayor Tom Hayes said the property tax deal was not yet signed, noting it requires approval from the boards of the village, Township High School District 214, Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 and Palatine Township Elementary District 15. “It’s pretty clear the Bears are still focused on the lakefront, but we’ve always considered Arlington Park and Arlington Heights a strong, if not the best contender, and I’m really optimistic about the progress we’ve made,” Hayes said. A spokesperson for the village and school districts said “we have a common understanding with the team on how to create a framework for potential development, financing, and property tax certainty in Arlington Heights that works for all parties.” Officials declined to say what number the sides landed on. It’s expected to be announced next week. A year after the Bears closed on their $197.2 million purchase, the Cook County Board of Review in February handed the Bears a $124.7 million valuation on Arlington Park, which would result in a property tax hit of about $9 million. The team argued their case to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board, seeking to have the valuation lowered to $60 million, for a $1.7 million tax bill. The three suburban school districts, which are funded by property taxes, intervened in the case with proposals that would land the bill around $5 million. Once all but certain for a suburban move, the stalemate prompted the Bears to shift their focus back toward the Museum Campus, where the team in April unveiled a proposal for a $4.7 billion dome south of Soldier Field . Their plan, which requires upwards of $1 billion in public funding , drew cheers from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson — and cold shoulders from state lawmakers in Springfield. The team called an audible from their city stadium playbook earlier this month, and are now reevaluating the former Michael Reese Hospital site in Bronzeville as a potential home, despite the fact team president Kevin Warren previously dismissed it as too narrow to house a modern NFL dome. Johnson’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday’s announcement. The Bears unveiled conceptual designs in 2022 for a massive mixed-use stadium district at Arlington Park, the home of Illinois’ most famous horse racing track for nearly a century until the last races were run in 2021. Their suburban proposal for the sprawling plot includes office space, a sportsbook, small residential neighborhoods, retail and park space alongside a $5 billion dome. They would need state help to fund that infrastructure work, a prospect similarly stymied so far in Springfield. Such a development would take about a decade to complete, the team has said. They’re under lease at Soldier Field through 2033 . The Arlington Heights mayor called it “a long road” to landing the property tax deal. “We’ve been working aggressively to get everyone singing from the same music over the last year,” Hayes said, adding that he doesn’t think the Bears are merely trying to raise pressure on state lawmakers to help them stay in Chicago. “I understand their desire to do their due diligence and get the best deal,” Hayes said. “That’s what we’re all doing.”
