The people who entered soon found out they could not leave the ship. Jesus of Lubeck Ship: Jesus of Lubeck was a cruising ship built in the City of Lübeck in the mid-sixteenth century. By the year 1540 the ship was purchased by Henry VIII, King of England, to expand his fleet. Jesus of Lubeck was later chartered to John Hawkins in 1562 by Queen Elizabeth I after it sank during a Battle. Jesus of Lubeck ( “The Good Ship Jesus”) and John Hawkins: The ship became associated with the Atlantic slave exchange under John Hawkins. He effectively coordinated four journeys to West Africa and the West Indies somewhere in the range of 1562 and 1568. 300 Africans were captured from Sierra Leone and later sold to Spanish ranches in the Americas. A record holds that Hawkins who professed to be a passionate Christian found the Sierra Leoneans harvesting their

The Ebonyi State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has arrested one Ikenna Ogbonna Ota, a native of Azuoto Okpoitumo community in Abakaliki Local Government Area of the state. Ota was arrested for stealing and presenting a stolen cow for the burial rites of his late father in-law.

Ota was reported to have visited the family house of his in-laws on Friday for the presentation of materials for the burial of their late father, according to The Point. He had come with a female cow he allegedly stole from his community to them for the ceremony.

Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu  Public position begets public scrutiny and it opens up a vista of shared opinions, assumptions and commentaries on the affairs of governance and public trust. Regrettably, the space of public opinion can be overtly toxic to the point that cynics, mischief-makers and political opportunist ride overboard. Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, is an accomplished academician turned politician who currently holds the trust of the people in the state. Since his foray into politics, this gentleman has been grossly misrepresented and called unprintable names, even by those with zero knowledge of his giant strides.
