A Presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Sam Nda Isaiah, has promised to rehabilitate Nigerians from the hardships brought to them by the harsh policies of President Goodluck Jonathans government.

A statement issued by the media office of Nda Isaiah and made available to our correspondent in Asaba on Tuesday, said the publisher-turned politician said if he gets the ticket of the APC, he would lead the party to a successful campaign for people-oriented policies.

I understand the anger and concerns of a greatnumber of Nigerians, unemployment, job insecurity, poor housing, poor healthcare and lastly insecurity which is becoming a prolonged nightmare in Nigeria.

As a professional and a presidential aspirant that can claim to know his onions, I understandthe fears about our common future, the failures of our democracy to lift Nigerians out of poverty to prosperity, the APC chieftain said.

I want to offer Nigerian youths a better life than I had; I want to put the drive back in the Nigerian dream, he said.

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.

Lagos led Nigerias victory over Ebola APC

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.

Liberals are more likely to unfriend you over politics online and off

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.

(Pew Research)

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.
