Ohanaeze Ndigbo has denied backing any candidate for the gubernatorial polls in Anambra State scheduled for November 18th.

The group also alerted Governor Willie Obiano of the existence of spurious groups bent on fleecing him various sums in the name of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Its Assistant National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Chuke Ibegbu, while briefing the leadership of Igbo Mandate Congress, told Rev Obinna Akukwe, IMC Director General and chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo that "the primary concern of Ohanaeze Nddigbo is for there to be free and fair election in Anambra State".

"The President General and members of National Executive Committee are concerned about free polls in Anambra State".

"Ohanaeze has within its fold members of all political parties and as such cannot come out openly to support any candidate.

"However, it reserves the right to give direction to the Igbo race if the need arises and that direction can come through the President General. Therefore anyone purportedly supporting any candidate without the clearance from Ohaneze NEC is only seeking for financial aggrandizement"

On groups claiming affiliation to Ohanaeze Ndigbo and collecting funds from the APGA Campaign Office, Comrade Ibegbu said such groups except one, is neither known to Ohanaeze Ndigbo nor got any clearance from the President General.

"Ohanaeze will make known its stance on Anambra elections any moment from next week but the stance will still be that Anambra people will be allowed to vote the candidature of their choice", Ibegbu added.

IMC said it is embarrassed that some groups all owned by a former Ohanaeze exco member including Eastern Youth Forum, Ofuma Women Organization, Continuity for Leadership and Empowerment, Ezumezu Omambaka Di Igbo Egwu, Igbo bu Igbo for APGA – Obiano-Okeke, Citizens United for Reconstruction and Equity, Citizens Reconstruction Initiative, among others, have siphoned various sums of money from the
APGA Campaign Office.

GUNMAN SHOOT 27 WORSHIPERS TO DEATH IN TEXAS CHURCH

No.of Visitors of this News16976

No fewer than 27 people have been killed after a gunman opened fire at a church during Sunday services in United States (U.S.), the police have said.

The attack happened at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, a small town in Wilson County, Texas.

Police official Albert Gamez Jr confirmed the number of fatalities to CBS News.

The gunman, who is reported to have been killed in the aftermath, entered the church and opened fire at around 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT).



"The details are kind of sketchy but what I know right now, what they're telling me, like 27 deceased and over 20, 25 injured," Mr Gamez Jr said.

"They're talking about the shooter is dead also," he added.

About 50 people usually attend the service, locals said. Local media outlets reported that children were among the dead.

Donald Trump, who is on a five-country tour in Asia, tweeted: "May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI & law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan."

Witnesses close to the small church reported hearing a rapid barrage of about 20 shots. Pastor Frank Buford of the neighbouring River Oaks church, just a few blocks away from the scene of the shooting, said relatives of victims had started to congregate at a makeshift community center.

"We're holding up as well as we can – we are a strong community, we are strong in our faith," he told local reporters.

Buford described Sutherland Springs as a close-knit community. "We have a post office, two churches and a dollar store," he said.

His church received word that a shooting was under way at their sister place of worship at about 11.15am local time, he said. "We started praying for everyone involved in it," he said.

The pastor of First Baptist, Frank Pomeroy, and his wife were said to be out of town on Sunday and not present when the shooting happened.

First responders converged on the small town of around 400 people. Television stations KSAT and KENS reported a large police presence. A sheriff's department dispatcher said everyone was at the scene and was unavailable to comment.

KSAT reported that two Airlife helicopters were at the scene and broadcast video of several fire and police vehicles at the church and a photograph of a helicopter that the station said was arriving to take victims to hospitals.

BIAFRA: CORPSES OF SLAIN IPOB MEMBERS FOUND INSIDE BUSH

No.of Visitors of this News17055

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared 21 days mourning for its members killed during the military invasion of the home of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu at Afara Ukwu, Umuahia, Abia State.

This is even as the Biafra agitation group says it has discovered more corpses of her slain members in a bush within the precincts of the home of its leader.

The group equally informed that it is burying the slain members, numbering more than over 28 who were killed during the invasion, in piecemeal with 11 of such bodies already interred.

A senior member of the group, Mark Eze Ofuonye, who disclosed how some of their members were shot dead by the invading soldiers, and their corpses dumped in a bush near the home of the IPOB leader, said:



"Some of our members, numbering over 28, were murdered in cold blood by the military during the invasion of our leader's home at Afara Ukwu. The soldiers were doing a sort of mop up operation; whenever they killed any of our members, they carried away the corpse to conceal their horrendous act but it was not possible.

"So, they filled up their trucks with our members' corpses. The corpses we retrieved and which we are burying at present are those the soldiers could not carry.

They just came out with the intention of killing any human being or living thing that was found in the compound of our leader.

The people they met were not armed still they shot them, even people just standing nearby and those passing through the area were caught in the attack."

Continuing, Ofuonye said: "The corpses we are burying now (referring to the day of the interview) were found inside the bush. They were shot by soldiers and they ran into the bush with bullet wounds thinking that they could receive help there but no help came their way and they died inside the bush. Some of the dead bodies were discovered last week inside the bush at the back of Nnamdi Kanu's house. The 28 were those ones that were killed within the axis of the house of our leader. But the total number killed within this range is 305 persons."

The IPOB chieftain who said there was no need for the operation by the Nigerian army as members of the group did not carry arms neither were they violent, added that the leadership of the group declared the 21-day mourning for their slain members.

He advised the United Nations to send its representatives to the home of their leader at Afara Ukwu to be able to see how soldiers invaded the house of a core civilian with heavy armoury and none of the soldiers sustained any scratch which he said was an indication that despite the propaganda mounted by the Nigerian army, the IPOB members were not armed.

Police Officers Storm Hotel To Rob Customers (Read Details)

Naija News

by Komolafe Daniel 1 hour ago3

A team of police officers attached to the Anti-Cultism unit of State Anti-Robbery Squad have been linked to the suspected robbery operation that took place at a popular hotel in Lagos.
The incident happened at the popular CY Hotel located at Governor’s Road at Ikotun, Lagos. Sources reports that the officers whose identities were not yet known, invaded the hotel in the evening with a bus and whisked a Nigerian resident in Ghana simply identified as Uche who came with his friend from Republic of Sierra Lone at gun point.
They reportedly ordered Uche to his room, searched the whole place acting as if he was a suspected criminal and cultist who might hide his weapons in the room.
It was gathered that when they had searched everywhere and did not find any incriminating item, they carted away all the money they found in the room and left.
They had attempted to take Uche and his friend away before the owner of the hotel arrived, intervened and rescued the victims but was unable to recover their money.
According to Uche who claimed that he was a businessman and footballer, he came to Nigeria with his friend and lodged in the hotel. He explained that they were relaxing at the hotel’s balcony before the men who claimed to be from the Anti-Cultism unit attacked and intimidated them with their guns.
He narrated that two of the officers pointed their guns at him, marched him to his room and searched everywhere. And when they did not find anything except money, they carted away the money.
Uche said he was terrified mostly by the commando style they attacked and robbed them which made him doubt if they were police officers.
“All the money we had in the room was stolen and yet it was not enough for them. They beat and forced us to enter their waiting vehicle in order to take us away to an unknown place before the owner of the hotel intervened” Uche narrated.
When Sources contacted the owner of the hotel, Ezewele Abionaojie, he confirmed the incident and said it was a pure case of robbery because the officers used their guns to intimidate the victims. Ezewele said that he did not know initially that the officers dragged the victims to their rooms and robbed them until after he had intervened and they had left.
He lamented that the action of the police officers disrupted activities in the hotel as his customers had to abandon the hotel and ran for safety.
He said since then they had not returned and the hotel had suffered huge losses as a result. He said he had reported the matter to the Commissioner of Police and said he can identify some of the officers that came for the operation if need be.
When our correspondent contacted the Police Public Relation Officer, PPRO, Mr Famous-Cole for comments his phone was switched off.
Some of the residents who witnessed what happened said they did not believe that the men were police officers because they did not come with police vehicle.

RIP Keith Wilder (1951-2017); Heatwave’s Last Original Voice Silenced (Plus Their 10 Best Songs, Ranked) good by

RIP Keith Wilder (1951-2017); Heatwave’s Last Original Voice Silenced (Plus Their 10 Best Songs, Ranked)

The late Johnnie Wilder, Jr. (d: May 2006) had the vision that led to the creation of the multi-ethnic 1970s band Heatwave, as well as the soft baritone and high falsetto that powered hits like “Always and Forever,” “Mind Blowing Decisions” and “Ain’t No Half Steppin’.”
The late Rod Temperton (d: October 2016) had the keyboard playing and songwriting skills that helped him create those tunes for the band along with many more for other artists.
But it was Johnny’s more soulful sounding younger brother, Keith Wilder, who provided the grittier funk lead vocals that made the songs “Boogie Nights” and “The Groove Line” Heatwave’s biggest-selling pop singles.

Keith Wilder (1951-2017) of Heatwave died in his sleep on Sunday, October 29, 2017, at age 65.  (picture circa 1978.)

Keith Edward Wilder died in his sleep on Sunday, October 29, at the age of 65.  Wilder was the last original voice of the energetic band whose fun yet funky disco songs and beautiful ballads from the late 1970s made them one of the most liked bands of their short-lived era.  In a sad coincidence, Wilder’s older brother Johnnie died in his sleep eleven years earlier, leaving Keith to carry the torch for a band that had already endured so much tragedy during its earlier history.
The two Wilder brothers and Temperton were the essential pieces to a group that began in the mid 1970s with a mixed ethnic lineup that initially included two black Americans from Dayton, Ohio, (the Wilders), a Czech drummer (Ernest “Bilbo” Berger who was a wizard on those drums, by the way), a black Briton (rhythm guitarist Roy Carter), a Swiss man (bassist Mario Mantese), a Jamaican (Eric Johns) and an Englishman (Temperton).

The members of Heatwave (circa 1978), from l to r: Mario Mantese, Rod Temperton, Keith Wilder, Johnnie Wilder, Roy Carter, Eric Johns and Ernest Berger.

In other words, Heatwave was to the late 1970s what Sly & the Family Stone was to the earlier part of that decade, except Heatwave made Sly Stone’s all-American mixed-race/mixed-gender group look almost homogenous by comparison.
Yet as progressive a band as Heatwave was during its day, what with its multicultural background and stellar dance/pop sensibilities – and despite the fact that groups like Average White Band, KC & the Sunshine Band, and Sly & the Family Stone had already paved the way for mixed-race funk and disco bands to gain widespread acceptance in the U.S. – Heatwave’s longtime label, Epic Records (GTO in the U.K.) was reluctant to market the group by its multiracial identity.  In fact, none of the band’s six album covers bore Heatwave’s images, which instead were relegated to back covers or insert sleeves.
It was the first of those six albums, however, that introduced us to Keith Wilder’s gruff soulful tenor, as he kicked off “Boogie Nights” thusly: “Ain’t no doubt, we are here to party!”  And it was with that convincing declaration that Heatwave started their platinum party train rolling here in America with a famous trio of singles that each sold between one and two million copies.
“Boogie Nights” just missed the No. 1 spot on the pop singles chart in late fall ‘77, while “Always and Forever” did the same on the soul list a few months later – both tunes peaked at No. 2 on those tallies, respectively.  “The Groove Line,” from their second album, was an even faster climbing single, peaking at No. 3 soul and No. 7 pop within three months of its April 1978 release.
Heatwave’s first two albums, Too Hot To Handle and Central Heating – each peppered with memorable deep album cuts to go along with the successful hit singles – had impressive sales commensurate with that of the singles.  Both albums went platinum in the U.S., selling a million copies each and peaking in the top five on Billboard’s R&B charts and Nos. 11 and 10, respectively, on the pop charts.
With all the band’s success in 1977-78, it seemed Heatwave could do no wrong with radio and on dance floors across America.  Their fans were pumped and primed for nearly anything the funky outfit had to offer and the future certainly looked bright for one of the genre’s best new ambassadors.  For their part, Heatwave could deliver well-crafted dance-pop tunes and then flip the script to turn in some of the most beautiful love songs of their day.
But the group was about to endure a series of tragedies that put all of their commercial success in a harrowing perspective and which made their lofty out-of-the-box sales levels tough to sustain, despite their most valiant of efforts.
First, original bassist Mario Mantese was stabbed by his girlfriend after attending a party one night in 1978.  The near-fatal injuries he sustained (including a lengthy coma, followed by temporary blindness and paralysis) forced him to leave the band.
Then, while visiting family in Dayton in 1979, lead singer Johnnie Wilder was involved in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down.  Bound to a wheelchair, the elder Wilder brother continued recording with the band, although he would be replaced during concert tours and TV performances by J. D. Nicholas (who was also Lionel Richie’s replacement in the Commodores a couple of years later).
Johnnie Wilder’s car accident occurred on the heels of the band’s third album release, 1979’s Hot Property, a less successful (but still gold-certified) collection that contained a moderate top-30 soul chart entry, the underrated single “Eyeballin’,” and its quirky follow-up, “One Night Tan,” an uptempo disco number that missed the charts altogether.  (“One Night Tan” was a guilty pleasure of mine though; it even topped my personal charts in the summer of ‘79.)

Keith Wilder and Johnnie Wilder front and center in Heatwave.  Also shown are Roy Carter, left, and Eric Johns, right.

While both Wilder brothers remained with Heatwave during the 1980s, other personnel changes would occur as the band’s popularity began to wane.  Changing tastes in music were partly to blame for the group’s increasing difficulty to reach larger audiences – particularly the decline of disco and the rise of hip-hop, British pop and ‘80s techno music.  This changing landscape stacked the odds against Heatwave, which wasn’t able to navigate the changing musical tide as well as other late-‘70s staples like Donna Summer or Earth, Wind & Fire.
It also didn’t help that the band’s creativity seemed stifled after their first couple of albums, both musically and thematically.  In keeping with their name, for instance, all their album’s titles were simple variations on the same theme… heat:  Too Hot to Handle, Central Heating, Hot Property, Candles, Current, The Fire.
The songs from the later albums didn’t ignite the fire that earlier efforts did.  Their 1982 single “Lettin’ It Loose,” from the Current album, incorporated elements of rap but even that seemed contrived against the backdrop of the song’s kiddie-like chorus.  The ballad “Look After Love” from that same album tried but failed to capture the magic that its more evergreen predecessors “Always and Forever” and “Star Of A Story” had earlier.
Ultimately their 1988 set, The Fire, a nine-track collection released only in the U.K., would be Heatwave’s last studio album.  As a recording act, the group called it quits shortly afterwards.
But it was Keith Wilder, that one remaining original member, who kept Heatwave’s fire burning on-and-off for decades as a touring band long after the hits stopped coming.  Despite his own health setbacks, in a way, he was keeping his big brother’s dream alive after Johnnie could no longer tour with the band following his paralyzing car accident and after he died at the age of 56 in 2006.
Now, with his own passing, Keith Wilder joins his brother Johnnie and their legendary songwriter Rod Temperton in that proverbial rock-and-roll heaven.  They leave behind a small, but memorable legacy of tunes that some might consider mere timepieces – songs that are defined more by their era than by any enduring qualities.
Heck, some pundits might even argue that Heatwave was nothing more than a ‘70s disco/funk band who couldn’t evolve with the changing musical styles of the 1980s, hence their quick demise.
But for Heatwave fans, nothing could be further from the truth.  For us, “Boogie Nights” and “The Groove Line” were collectively a partying call-to-arms (along with the funk classic “Ain’t No Half Steppin’”) that had us shaking our booties wildly for months, while “Always and Forever” was the love song of a lifetime – one that helped launch many marriages over the four decades since its release.
For those reasons we will always forever love Heatwave, and we will miss its co-lead vocalist Keith Wilder.

Keith Wilder in more recent years.

In honor of the late Keith Wilder, as well as his brother Johnnie, I’ve ranked what I consider to be Heatwave’s 10 best songs, and djrobblog is counting them down in order from No. 10 to No. 1.
Hope you enjoy the memories. Scroll through the list below.

Honorable Mention: “One Night Tan” (1979)

Nov 03, 2017 - youtu.be - 15

Not only did this second single from their 1979 album Hot Property not chart very high, it didn’t chart at all! However, it was a guilty pleasure of mine...so much so that it reached No. 1 on my personal Top 40 charts during that summer. See Keith Wilder lead the group through some hot dance moves on a June 1979 episode of Soul Train in the above link.
