GIST!

Nollywood actress Cossy Ojiakor during a chat session with Potpourri, expressed her opinion over Peter Obi’s loss at the recently concluded Nigerian Presidential polls. She also had a word of advise for the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in respect of the Igbos and their expectations.

She said, “I personally supported Peter Obi to usher in the much-needed change in Nigeria. My biggest hope was hinged on Peter Obi establishing a seaport and an airport in Southeast. The only problem of Igbo is the seaport and airport. That was the hope we had with Obi. If Tinubu can actually create a seaport in Asaba or Anambra, he will be worshipped.

"When Igbo spare parts dealers said they want to relocate to the East, I wonder how they can survive without a seaport as the only seaport that works in Nigeria is in Lagos. I was even a polling unit agent during the last election, I don’t have to tell you what went down. But Tinubu is a father. If he can do this to develop Nigeria and decongest Lagos, Igbos will peacefully go home and sell their business there.”

Breaking! Two Trains Were Involved In A Head-On-Collision In Greece

At least 32 people have died and dozens more were injured in the head-on collision between two trains near the city of Larissa on Tuesday night, reports the BBC.

The passenger train had been travelling from Athens to the northern city of Thessaloniki when it crashed head-on with the other freight train, leading to a fire in at least one of the carriages. It is being described as the worst train crash Greece has ever seen, but the cause of the collision is not yet known.
