Flash And Arrow continues

This week The Flash (8 p.m. ET/PT Tuesday) and Arrow (8 ET/PT  Wednesday) share casts for their second annual two-part crossover, but its actually a three-way dance this time that introduces key members of the new spinoff DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, premiering Jan. 21.

Before they take flight on "DC's Legends of Tomorow," Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) are targeted by a villain in this week's crossover between "Arrow" and "The Flash."

In the upcoming show, time traveler Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) rounds up a group comprised of Arrow and Flash favorites, from good guys Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) and Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) to rogues Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell), to visit various times in history in order to stop immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) from ruling the world.

Two 'Flash' heroes for two Earths

Before that, however, Vandal makes a big move in the crossover, attacking Central City barista Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes), a member of the S.T.A.R. Labs crew with the super-fast Flash, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin). To keep Kendra safe, Barry and his team take her to see their friends on Team Arrow in Star City — including Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), aka Green Arrow — and she’s suddenly taken away by the mysterious winged Hawkman named Carter Hall (Falk Hentschel).

Grant Gustin's Barry Allen and Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen are back together again for their second annual crossover.

He drops a big bomb on Kendra, telling her that they are soulmates who’ve been reincarnated over and over again for the past 4,000 years, even though Kendra doesn’t remember any of it and Carter does.

“She’s always been someone who’s felt something wasn’t quite right in her life,” saysFlash and Legends executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, adding there’s a certain Jason Bourne quality to Kendra. “She’s starting to suspect that maybe this disconnect is because she does have this great destiny.”

Flash fans saw a future glimpse — through Cisco’s “vibe” powers — of Kendra in the Hawkgirl suit she’ll wear on Legends. But she’s not there yet, and it’s up to Carter to get her up to speed, even if it means tossing her off a building to make her take flight.

“She is a pretty lost human,” Renee says. “She didn’t really have a plan about what she was doing, and now she’s been thrown into this.” Yet getting involved with Carter and her new hero friends “ignites a fire in Kendra.”

Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renee) gets a lesson in destiny from Carter Hall (Falk Hentschel) in this week's crossover of "Arrow" and "The Flash.".

It creates a love triangle of sorts since Kendra is starting to like Cisco romantically, she dislikes Carter and thinks he’s an oaf, and Carter is set in getting her up to speed since “he remembers being in love with her 206 times already,” Kreisberg says.

“Kendra doesn’t obviously reciprocate those feelings, and he’s trying to be patient just as he has through many lifetimes. But now that Vandal is here and threatening to kill them, the clock is ticking and he doesn’t really have time to be an encyclopedia.”

Savage has killed Kendra and Carter repeatedly  through their many lives to maintain his immortality, and even though his dark aristocratic look doesn’t quite scream modern fashion, Vandal adapts to whatever period he’s in, even calling Cisco “dude.”

Katie Yu, The CW

Casper Crump plays Vandal Savage, an immortal who wants to rule the world and has all the time in the world to do it.

“Sometimes you see villains portrayed where they want a nuclear bomb or money or power,” Crump explains. “Vandal wants that but it’s just to teach humanity a lesson. If there are periods in time he just doesn’t find interesting, he just kicks back and relaxes and you don’t see him for 30 years.

“He doesn’t need gadgets and cool suits and spaceships. All he needs is a coat, some knives and time. That’s the coolest badass you can get, in my opinion.”

Constantine adds to mystical 'Arrow' season

Vandal’s an ancient guy but “he’s not trying to attack our heroes from his rocking chair,” adds Marc Guggenheim, executive producer of Arrow and Legends. “He has 4,000 years of experience dealing with all the great evils. He’s learned from really the best and quite frankly the worst history has to offer.”

Hawkgirl and Vandal will play significant roles throughout the first season of Legends, which offers a combo of Arrow’s moral ambiguity and Flash’s hope and inspiration. But it has a comedic side, too, and Guggenheim promises it’s different from every other superhero show on TV.

“It’s very, very ambitious,” Renee says. “We’ve got relationships, we’ve got action, we’ve got drama — we’ve got all the things.”

OAU shut down indefinitely over student protest

The Management of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, have shut down the school indefinitely following last Friday and yesterday's student protest over poor welfare. The students are protesting lack of water and other basic amenities in the school hostels.

Lockdown In Onitsha As Pro-Biafra Protesters Make Demands

Updated December 1, 2015

 
Some pro-Biafra protesters, seeking the actualisation of Biafra nation, have blocked the Onitsha-Owerri expressway in eastern Nigeria, truncating business activities in one of the nation’s major commercial cities, Onitsha.

According to an eyewitness, the protesters, who were agitating for the release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, have shown no sign of ending the siege which had lasted for more than six hours, leaving commuters and motorists stranded.
Mr Kanu is standing trial on a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to an unlawful society which he has pleaded not guilty to.
His trial on Tuesday was stalled due to the absence of the judge.


We Are Not Happy
Though soldiers are reported to be at the scene of the protest, they have allegedly made no attempt to disperse the crowd, saying that their presence is merely to ensure the protest does not degenerate to violence.
One of the protesters told Channels Television that they would not leave the road.
“As you can see, people are gathered.
“We are not happy and we are determined to stay here for more than three days until they release our director, Nnamdi Kanu, the person the DSS is holding hostage.
“They have to release him, if they don’t, we will not leave this place,” the protester said.
While they protest, commuters lament the man-hour wasted, as some said they had been in a particular spot for more than six hours.
Security agencies had issued warnings to the protesters, urging them to end the protest or face the full wrath of the law.
Despite these warnings the group has continued to hold protests in different cities in the South-east and south-south.

PDP condemns Dokpesi’s arrest...says APC Govt on opposition, media clamp-down

Tuesday, December 1, 2015

Read the press statement after the cut...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemns in its entirety, the arrest of media mogul, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi and other opposition elements by the APC-led Federal Government.

The party also alerted that it has been made aware that more notable PDP leaders have similarly been listed for arrest over unproven allegations pursuant to the plot by the APC to cow and silence opposition in the country.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Tuesday said the military style of pronouncement of guilt on Chief Dokpesi before any fair hearing, betrays the fact that he is a victim of political persecution and mob trial by the APC government because of his association with the PDP.

“While the PDP is not against the war against corruption, we insist that the crusade must be carried out within the limits of the law and not as a guise to persecute and torture opposition elements in the country.

“Our fear is that with the pronouncement of guilt even without being giving the opportunity within his rights as a citizen to state his own side of the story, the President Buhari-led government is sidestepping the laws to ensure that Chief Dokpesi does not get justice in the court, a plot which they want to extend to other PDP leaders.

“The PDP therefore demands an open and public trial of all those arrested so that all issues and charges against them as well as their defence therein would also be in the public domain. We demand a proper investigation and lawful prosecution instead of the reprehensible resort to outright political persecution, which can only have a place in a military regime.

“We also note that this development may not be unconnected with the planned onslaught against the media, following its commitment in holding this dictatorial regime accountable since it took office.

“Finally, we call on the international community and rights bodies worldwide to note the growing impunity and gross violation of human rights by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government tailored to decimate the opposition and cow the media in Nigeria.

First Book: Harry Potter (The philosopher's stone) by J.K Rowlings

Chapter One A: THE BOY WHO LIVED

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious,because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years;  in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Mr. Dursley hummed as he picked up his most boring tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair. None of them noticed a large, tawny owl flutter past the window.
At half past eight, Mr. Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs. Dursley on the cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley good-bye but missed, because Dudley was now having a tantrum and throwing his cereal at the walls. "Little tyke," chortled Mr. Dursley as he left the house. He got into his car and backed out of number four's drive.
It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of something peculiar -- a cat reading a map. For a second, Mr. Dursley didn't realize what he had seen -- then he jerked his head around to
look again. There was a tabby cat standing on the corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn't a map in sight. What could he have been thinking of? It must have been a trick of the light. Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat. It stared back. As Mr. Dursley drove around the corner and up the road, he watched the cat in his mirror. It was now reading the sign that said Privet Drive -- no, looking at the sign; cats couldn't read maps or signs. Mr. Dursley gave himself a little shake and put the cat out of his mind. As he drove toward town he thought of nothing except a large order of drills he was hoping to get that day.

But on the edge of town, drills were driven out of his mind by something else. As he sat in the usual morning traffic jam, he couldn't help noticing that there seemed to be a lot of strangely dressed people about. People in cloaks, Mr. Dursley couldn't bear people who dressed in funny clothes -- the getups you saw on young people! He supposed this was some stupid new fashion. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and his eyes fell on a huddle of these weirdos standing quite close by. They were whispering excitedly together. Mr. Dursley was enraged to see that a couple of them weren't young at all; why, that man had to be older than he was, and wearing an emerald-green cloak! The nerve of him! But then it struck Mr. Dursley that this was probably some silly stunt -- these people were obviously collecting for something... yes, that would be it. The traffic moved on and a few minutes later, Mr. Dursley arrived in the Grunnings parking lot, his mind back on drills.

Mr. Dursley always sat with his back to the window in his office on the ninth floor. If he hadn't, he might have found it harder to concentrate on drills that morning. He didn't see the owls swooping past in broad daylight, though people down in the street did; they pointed and gazed open - mouthed as owl after owl sped overhead. Most of them had never seen an owl even at night time. Mr. Dursley, however, had a perfectly normal, owl-free morning. He yelled at five different people. He made
several important telephone calls and shouted a bit more. He was in a very good mood until lunchtime, when he thought he'd stretch his legs and walk across the road to buy himself a bun from the bakery.
He'd forgotten all about the people in cloaks until he passed a group of them next to the baker's. He eyed them angrily as he passed. He didn't know why, but they made him uneasy. This bunch were whispering excitedly, too, and he couldn't see a single collecting tin. It was on his way back past them, clutching a large doughnut in a bag, that he caught a few words of what they were saying.
"The Potters, that's right, that's what I heard yes, their son, Harry". Mr. Dursley stopped dead. Fear flooded him. He looked back at the whisperers as if he wanted to say something to them, but thought better of it.
He dashed back across the road, hurried up to his office, snapped at his secretary not to disturb him, seized his telephone, and had almost finished dialing his home number when he changed his mind. He put the receiver back down and stroked his mustache, thinking... no, he was being stupid. Potter wasn't such an unusual name. He was sure there were lots of people called Potter who had a son called Harry. Come to think of it, he wasn't even sure his nephew was called Harry. He'd never even
seen the boy. It might have been Harvey or Harold. There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley; she always got so upset at any mention of her sister. He didn't blame her -- if he'd had a sister like that... but all the same, those people in cloaks...
He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drills that afternoon and when he left the building at five o'clock, he was still so worried that he walked straight into someone just outside the door.
"Sorry," he grunted, as the tiny old man stumbled and almost fell. It was a few seconds before Mr. Dursley realized that the man was wearing a violet cloak. He didn't seem at all upset at being almost knocked to the ground. On the contrary, his face split into a wide smile and he said in a squeaky voice that made passersby stare, "Don't be sorry, my dear sir, for nothing could upset me today! Rejoice, for You-Know-Who has gone at last! Even Muggles like yourself should be celebrating, this happy,
happy day!" And the old man hugged Mr. Dursley around the middle and walked off….(lol, I can only imagine the look on his face).
Mr. Dursley stood rooted to the spot. He had been hugged by a complete stranger. He also thought he had been called a Muggle, whatever that was. He was rattled. He hurried to his car and set off for home, hoping he was imagining things, which he had never hoped before, because he
didn't approve of imagination.
As he pulled into the driveway of number four, the first thing he saw -- and it didn't improve his mood -- was the tabby cat he'd spotted that morning. It was now sitting on his garden wall. He was sure it was the same one; it had the same markings around its eyes. "Shoo!" said Mr. Dursley loudly. The cat didn't move. It just gave him a stern look. Was this normal cat behavior? Mr. Dursley wondered. Trying to pull himself together, he let himself into the house. He was still determined not to mention anything to his wife.
Mrs. Dursley had had a nice, normal day. She told him over dinner all about Mrs. Next Door's problems with her daughter and how Dudley had learned a new word ("Won't!"). Mr. Dursley tried to act normally. When Dudley had been put to bed, he went into the living room in time to catch the last report on the evening news:
"And finally, bird-watchers everywhere have reported that the nation's owls have been behaving very unusually today. Although owls normally hunt at night and are hardly ever seen in daylight, there have been hundreds of sightings of these birds flying in every direction since sunrise. Experts are unable to explain why the owls have suddenly changed their sleeping pattern." The newscaster allowed himself a grin. "Most mysterious. And now, over to Jim McGuffin with the weather. Going
to be any more showers of owls tonight, Jim?"
"Well, Ted," said the weatherman, "I don't know about that, but it's not only the owls that have been acting oddly today. Viewers as far apart as Kent, Yorkshire, and Dundee have been phoning in to tell me that instead of the rain I promised yesterday, they've had a downpour of shooting stars! Perhaps people have been celebrating Bonfire Night early -- it's not until next week, folks! But I can promise a wet night tonight."
Mr. Dursley sat frozen in his armchair. Shooting stars all over Britain? (wtf).Owls flying by daylight? Mysterious people in cloaks all over the place? And a whisper, a whisper about the Potters... Mrs. Dursley came into the living room carrying two cups of tea. It was no good. He'd have to say something to her. He cleared his throat nervously. "Er -- Petunia, dear -- you haven't heard from your sister lately, have you?"
As he had expected, Mrs. Dursley looked shocked and angry. After all, they normally pretended she didn't have a sister. "No," she said sharply. "Why?"
"Funny stuff on the news," Mr. Dursley mumbled. "Owls... shooting stars... and there were a lot of funny-looking people in town today..."

"So?" snapped Mrs. Dursley.
"Well, I just thought... maybe... it was something to do with... you know... her crowd."
Mrs. Dursley sipped her tea through pursed lips. Mr. Dursley wondered whether he dared tell her he'd heard the name "Potter." He decided he didn't dare. Instead he said, as casually as he could, "Their son -- he'd be about Dudley's age now, wouldn't he?"
"I suppose so," said Mrs. Dursley stiffly.
"What's his name again? Howard, isn't it?"
"Harry. Nasty, common name, if you ask me." "Oh, yes," said Mr. Dursley, his heart sinking horribly. "Yes, I quite agree."
He didn't say another word on the subject as they went upstairs to bed. While Mrs. Dursley was in the bathroom, Mr. Dursley crept to the bedroom window and peered down into the front garden. The cat was still there. It was staring down Privet Drive as though it were waiting for
something.
Was he imagining things? Could all this have anything to do with thePotters? If it did... if it got out that they were related to a pair of -- well, he didn't think he could bear it.... to be continued on friday.....

The best book site

Now I have decided that on Wilson's, we will be posting comedy videos, great and interesting stories in series....I have come to notice that most of the books written became famous in this part of the world only because those books were converted to movies....what people don't know is that the books are more interesting to read than the movies watched....So Wilson's have decided to bring you great adventures, romance and other genres of book, which you are aware of and watched their movies....Thanks
