Catalonia declares independence from Spain prompting the central government to impose direct rule leading to fear of violence

The Catalan Parliament has voted to declare independence from Spain. In response, just 40 minutes after the declaration of independence, the Spanish Senate in Madrid imposed direct rule to dismantle Catalonia’s autonomy. Now there are fears of violence and maybe a civil war. The Catalan Parliament voted 70 votes to 10, with two abstentions. Before the vote, Catalan MPs opposed to the region's independence stormed out of parliament in protest - with pro-independence MPs draping their empty seats with Catalan flags. The independence motion was passed in the 135-strong assembly with 70 votes in favour, 10 against and 2 blank ballots, the assembly's speaker said. Catalan President Carles Puigdemont and Vice President Oriol Junqueras exchanged congratulatory embraces and handshakes after the vote. After the motion was passed, thousands of Catalans gathered outside the parliament building and cheered and danced.  But the Spanish prime minister wrote

Fight between Timi Dakolo and Freeze heats up as the OAP replies, calls Timi a dingbat!

Read below... @timidakolo unlike you, I haven't waited all my life to respond to you, why should I? Who are you and where's the sense in what you write or what you stand for? - You are a product of this same shallow doctrine yourself, the churches you perform at, where do you think they get the money to pay from? - You speak about marriage, how long you been married for? What do you know? You say I don't have the right to comment on marriage, who gave you the license to comment? - I was married for 10 whole years, you dingbat! If I can't co

The Nigerian Airforce says the wife of the leader of the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) Organization, Mallama Fitdasi, might have been killed in a recent successful airstrike on Durwawa settlement on the outskirts of Urga near Konduga community in Borno state. A statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information of the Nigerian Air Force, Olatokunbo Adesanya, Mallama Fitdasi is believed to have been representing her husband in a coordinating meeting with other terrorists at the location of the airstrikes.

Battle Damage Assessment had indeed revealed that the aerial attack set off a fire, causing damage to the Boko Haram terrorist structures within the settlement and neutralized most of the Boko Haram terrorists with a few of them fleeing the location.

"Mr. President, I rise today to say: Enough" - Republican senator Jeff Flake blasts Donald Trump in blistering speech

Arizona Republican Senator, Jeff Flake blasted the United States President, Donald Trump in a blistering speech delivered on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday. Flake said he cannot be "complicit or silent" to what the current administration is up to because he had "children and grandchildren to answer to.". He went on to reveal that he will not run for re-election after his current term ends in early 2019. In a passionate address to fellow senators, and TV cameras, Flake lamented the White House’s "reckless, outrageous and undignified behavior " which he said was "dangerous to a democracy". Flake, who is Trump's party member, went on to accuse the US President of having a "disregard for truth and decency". He warned about the changes in the political climate, which he referred to as "the new normal" and said his colleagues must stop pretending those changes are normal because they are not. He proce

"He's 'debasing our nation"- Republican Bob Corker also blasts Trump and Trump responds on Twitter

Before Republican Senator Jeff Flakes blasted Donald Trump on the floor of the senate on Tuesday, another Republican Senator, Bob Coker also lambasted the President of the United States earlier on the same day. On Tuesday morning Senator Bob Corker accused Trump of "debasing" the country with "untruths" and "name-calling". This feud between Trump and Bob Corker sullied a policy lunch with Republican senators on Tuesday. The lunch was meant to be a unifying moment for Republicans to rally around tax reform, but the war of words between Trump and Corker instead revealed the deep fault lines that exist between some elements of the party and the president. Corker told reporters ahead of Trump’s arrival on Capitol Hill for the lunch: "You would think he would aspire to be the president of the United States and act like a president of the United States. But that’s just not going to be the case, apparently." Trump arrived on Ca
