                    BY HENSHAW NYONG, UYO.

Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Rt Hon (Barr) Onofiok Luke on Thursday, showered encomiums on players and management of Akwa United Football Club.

Barr Luke hailed the 'Promise Keepers' for putting Akwa Ibom State on the African map again by qualifying to the next round of the CAF Confederations' Cup.

The Uyo based side defeated hosts; Banjul Hawks 2-0 on Wednesday evening at the Independence Stadium, Bakau, Gambia.

In his reaction, the Speaker, himself an ardent Akwa United fan, thanked the "Dakkada" spirit in the club, saying it was soothing that the 'Promise Keepers' have moved a step further in the league for the first time after over twenty two years of the club's existence.

He observed that, the massive victory was a sign of good things to come, urging the Abdu Maikaba side not to rest on its oars till it eventually win the continental soccer fiesta.

Informing that the Sixth Assembly will always support and give legislative backings to the Executive to develop Sports in the State, Luke specifically eulogized Governor Udom Emmanuel for championing the drive for sports revolution in the country.

According to the Speaker, through the efforts and support of Governor Udom Emmanuel, Akwa Ibom has become the emerging football capital of Nigeria playing host to the National Team; the Super Eagles all through the team’s successful qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

He also observed that the State owned football team; Akwa United has over the last two and a half years of the Udom Emmanuel led administration been the most funded and best managed state-owned team which has seen the team emerged the winners of Nigeria FA Cup twice in 2015 and 2017.

Ghana is gradually becoming a jungle where decency has been thrown to the dogs. Since Ebony Reigns died, several unpleasant things have not only been said about her, indecent pictures have been circulating and it keeps getting disgusting each day. A video is circulating on social media and it has gotten Ghanaians so angry that even Bullet the manager of the late singer has threatened to sue the Bechem Government Hospital in the Brong Ahafo Region. Photo of the man who abused the corpse: The video shows a man in the morgue standing over the two corpses of Ebony and Franky Kuri. Both are n*ked and the video shows the man handling the bodies whilst he talks to some companions off camera. As to why they would do what they’re doing is already disturbing, but that they even took videos of the episode makes things 100 times worse. We can’t show the video (obviously) but honestly this is disgusting and those involved must really be punished. Photo of late Frankie K
