‘Biafrans Should Forget About Breaking Up Because We Will Never Allow It’ – Britain



Biafra supporters have been advised to shelve the idea of seceding from the country. as the United Kingdom remains solidly behind one and indivisible Nigeria.
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria Paul Arkwright made this affirmation at a public lecture titled “‎Brexit: Lessons, Challenges and Opportunities for Nigeria”, at the Federal University, Lokoja, on Thursday, April 6.
Speaking on the position of Britain on the groups pushing to break from Nigeria, the envoy‎ said the UK remained firm in its support for one Nigeria.
He noted that the unity of Nigeria should not be negotiable, stressing that the country will be better under one umbrella.
“The strength of Nigeria is not in her money or oil but her greatest asset remains her well-endowed and resourceful people,” Arkwright said.

What drug-dealing ‘darknet’ sites have in common with eBay

Image
NEW YORK (AP) — AlphaBay, the  now-shuttered online marketplace that authorities say traded in illegal drugs, firearms and counterfeit goods, wasn’t all that different from any other e-commerce site, court documents show. Not only did it work hard to match buyers and sellers and to stamp out fraud, it offered dispute-resolution services when things went awry and kept a public-relations manager to promote the site to new users. Of course, AlphaBay was no eBay. It went to great lengths to hide the identities of its vendors and customers, and it promoted money-laundering services to mask the flow of bitcoin and other digital currencies from prying eyes. Such “darknet” sites operate in an anonymity-friendly internet netherworld that’s inaccessible to ordinary browsers. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering just how they really work, a  U.S. criminal case  unveiled Thursday offers an eye-opening look. ___ WHAT IS ALPHABAY? U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions calls it the

End of Saudi women driving ban reflects deep changes in society

Image copyright AFP Image caption Previous Saudi rulers had said women could not drive because "society was against it" The decision to allow women to drive in Saudi Arabia is a rare good-news headline from the Middle East. King Salman has said it is to take effect from June 2018; the delay seems intended to get conservatives accustomed to a highly visible social change and deal with the practicalities of training female driving instructors and traffic police. Why has this change happened now, after so long? It is partly the result of top-down factors, as a new crown prince ushers in a new style of politics. It also reflects changes coming from deep within a society that may be highly religious, but is also very young and faces a new economic future.
