Members of the women wing of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State poured out on the streets of Akure on Tuesday to protest the continued abduction of Chibok girls by the terrorist group, Boko Haram.

The street-to-street protest, which hampered the free flow of traffic across the city, started with a procession from the Adegbemile centre through Oba Adesida-Oyemekun to Ilesa Garage.

The protesters who dressed in red uniforms and head gears, carried placards with various inscriptions and chanted solidarity songs.

The APC women numbering over 1,000 were led by Mrs Kehinde Adeniran and former Action Congress of Nigeria women leader, Erelu Modupe Akindele-Johnson.

They made a brief stop over at the new APC secretariat, Cathedral, Akure where they expressed their grievances on the development before the State Chairman,Isaac Kekemeke.

The women prayed in different languages for quick release of the school girls presently in captivity.

Adeniran said, We came as mothers with bitterness and anger, we are feeling the pains of missing these innocent young girls in their respective homes in the past six months

We were deceived by the Federal Government that the abducted girls would be released last monday,but as at now,there is no inkling of their whereabouts.

Mr Chairman,as our party leader here in Ondo State,we are sending you to President Goodluck Jonatgan to expedite action in finding a way to release these children without further delay.

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has said the Lagos State Governor under the administration of Governor Babatunde Fashola set the pace for the victory Nigeria recorded in its fight against the Ebola Virus Disease.

While the APC acknowledged the ancillary roles of several other sectors including the Federal Government in the battle for the containment of Ebola, it insisted that Lagos set the pace and led the battle for the defeat of Ebola.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by the state Publicity Secretary, APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party stated that the Fashola led government dictated the pace for the successful control of the disease.

The APC said, We note that Nigeria is gloating over the successful containment of Ebola virus. We note that some people and groups are positioning themselves for the accolades for this feat. But what is not in doubt is that the Lagos State government, through its health ministry and health staff, set the pace for the control of the virus and led the way in dictating the best possible way to ensure that the spread of the disease is put under control.

We note that many staff of the Lagos State health ministry sacrificed themselves to ensure that the disease did not spread farther than it did. We note that before any other person or sector could react, Lagos has mapped out strategies for the control of Ebola, set out facilities for the treatment and quarantine of Ebola victims and deployed the staff of its health and allied ministries to battle the novel disease and its fallouts.

We note that these were just possible because over the years, the proactive government in Lagos has established a viable and responsive health sector and format that has risen to the health needs of 21 millionLagosians today.

The party said it was proper that it salutes the dedicated pace-setting role the Fashola/APC government played in achieving the feat, as the World Health Organisation declared Nigeria Ebola free on Monday.

It is right to say that had the dreaded disease berthed elsewhere, Nigeria would have been grappling with an unmitigated disaster in its hands today, the party added.

Datafrom the Pew Research Journalism Project shows that conservatives are less likely to have their views challenged on social media but liberals are more likely to block or unfriend someone online because they disagree withsomething they have posted.

Those that Pew describes as "consistent conservatives" are twice as likely as the average Facebook user to say that posts about politics on the social network are "mostly or always" in line with their own views, according to a survey the organization performed this spring with 47 percent saying their views dominate the conversations they see.

(Pew Research)

Of those identified as "mostly conservative," 28 percent agreed with the sentimentvs.32 percent of "consistently liberals" and just 13 percent of "mostly liberal" users. This suggests that liberals see a wider range of views on social media than their conservative counterparts.

However, that doesn't mean liberals necessarily like all of the ideas they see. Consistent liberals were the most likely group to block or unfriend someone because they disagreed with their political postings, with 44 percent saying they had "hidden, blocked, defriended, or stopped following someone" on Facebook due to their political postings. Only roughly one-third (31 percent) of consistent conservatives had done the same -- although this might be attributable to lower levels of ideological diversity in their online ecosystem.

And that conservative echochamberisn't limited to conservatives' online interactions: It's a reflection of the lack of ideological diversity in their real life relationships. Two-thirds of consistent conservatives told Pew that most of their close friends share their views on government and politics, compared to just over half, or 52 percent, of consistent liberals. For mostly conservatives, 42 percent of their close friends have the same views, while just 26 percent of mostly liberals respondents who said the same.

Liberals were also more likely to drop a friend in real life over politics. Nearly a quarter, or 24 percent, of consistent liberals told Pew that have stopped talking to or being friends with someone over politics, compared to 16 percent of consistent conservatives.

Conservatives trust Fox News more than other outlets, but liberals don't.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

It's because "when it comes to getting news about politics and government, liberals and conservatives inhabit different worlds," according to a Pew Research Center study published on Tuesday.

Conservatives say they trust Fox News and not much else. Liberals say they trust many news outlets, but not Fox.

Among other things, the study underscores Fox's unique position in the media marketplace, thanks to what it calls the "strong allegiance" that conservatives have to Fox.

Overall, among Americans of all political persuasions, CNN is the most-trusted major news outlet, according to Pew's data. 54% of survey respondents said they trusted CNN (the operator of this website), 20% said they distrusted it and 21% said neither. ABC News and NBC News followed closely behind, trusted by 50% of respondents.

44% of the respondents said they trusted Fox News, while 37% said they distrusted it -- only 12% said neither.

Pew found that partisans on both sides are not totally isolated from opposing sources. "Nearly half (47%) of across-the-board conservatives -- and 59% of across-the-board liberals -- say they at least sometimes disagree with one of their closest political discussion partners," the researchers noted.

These disagreements often take place on Facebook (FB, Tech30), which is also a top source of political news, according to the study.

But local TV news outranks Facebook as the most-frequently-named source. Forty-nine percent of respondents said they received news about politics and government from local TV in the past week; 48% named Facebook; 44% named CNN; 39% named Fox News; and 37% named NBC News.
