Former Presidential Aide Reno Omokri Expresses Doubts Over The ₦194 Billion Cocaine Crackdown By The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA

Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, in a statement via his verified Twitter handle, said he hoped that the cocaine seized by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA in Ikorodu area of Lagos state, was not a plan by a certain person to finance his 2023 election. 

His tweet reads;

“I seriously hope a certain person was not planning to use the Ikorodu ₦193 billion cocaine that was seized by the NDLEA to finance his 2023 election. Because such a quantum of drugs in a warehouse is mind boggling! ₦193 billion is higher than some state’s budgets.”

Echoblog reported earlier today, Monday, that 1.8 tons (1,855 kilograms) of cocaine was discovered in a warehouse at the Ikorodu area of Lagos State by men of the NDLEA.

"Mr Omokri is most likely to get a robust reply on this one."

People shouldn’t get the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine when the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna shots are available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. The recommendation, from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, came hours after members of the agency's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted in favor of the guidance. The panel convened following an update from the Food and Drug Administration on the risk of rare but potentially life-threatening blood clots linked to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.  At least 54 people in the U.S., most of them women, have been hospitalized by the blood clots, and nine people have died. "Today’s updated recommendation emphasizes CDC’s commitm...

Israel To Pump Water From The Mediterranean sea, To Top Up The Sea Of Galilee

  The Sea of Galilee, Israel, despite its name, the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is actually a freshwater lake, and it's one that has sustained life for millennia. Even today, the lake irrigates vineyards and local farms that grow everything from green vegetables to wheat and tangerines. Its archeology, hot springs and hiking trails bring tourism and livelihoods for local communities. But this place of religious pilgrimage — where the New Testament says many of Jesus' miracles were performed — is facing a bleak future, CNN reports. The climate crisis is causing huge fluctuations in the lake's water levels. Now it happens to be fairly full, but just five years ago, it hit a record low. Climate change and unsustainable water management are leaving lakes dried up all over the Middle East and beyond, but the Israeli government is hopeful it has a solution: It plans to pump water from the Mediterranean sea, take the salt out of it and send it across the country to top up th...
