Footage has emerged appearing to show ex-first lady Melania Trump smiling with husband Donald Trump before her expression quickly drops to apparent disgust. The couple were spotted during the Atlanta Braves World Series game against the Houston Astros on Saturday.  It was the first time Melania had been seen in public since July, when she was seen leaving the Trump Tower in New York. And before the weekend’s appearance she hadn’t been seen with her husband since April, when she dined with him at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Former Presidential aide, Doyin Okupe, has called on the Federal government to release IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Okupe who was the former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, said Kanu should be released if that would restore peace in the South-East geopolitical zone. According to him, the freedom or life of the IPOB leader is more important than the November 6 governorship in the state, which he observed risked flawed in the face of a militarised electoral process.   “The Anambra State election is no doubt a security nightmare and a major cause for concern for many Nigerians. Whether we like it or not, the IPOB has become an established “Army of Resistance” for self-determination in the South-East. Also, we must come to accept that the Biafra ideology has come to stay. Although it is self-evident that the major stakeholders of these movements are predominantly youths, the adult themselves share th...
