Game Of Thrones Season Seven Episode Four: The Daunting Power Of Arya

If you have not been keeping up with Game Of Thrones, this is the perfect time to start. The drama series, which was based off George R.R. Martin’s best-selling book series titled A Song of Ice and Fire has been ongoing for a few years, and is currently in its seventh season.

Be warned. Spoilers ahead!

Early in the episode, Lord Baelish (Littlefinger) gives Bran the Valyrian dagger that was used in an attempt to kill him (Bran) in season one.

Arya Stark finally returns to Winterfell and reunites with her siblings. Before long, she mentions her kill list which has the names of bad people and those who have wronged her over the years. They become aware of Arya’s intention to kill pretty much every bad person in Westeros. For a while we hadn’t heard anything about Arya’s kill list, which she once recited out loud before going to bed. Perhaps we were made to think that all the people whose names were on her kill list were dead. Over the course of the preceding series, we watched as her list grew longer, and then shorter after she encountered the many-faced god.

However, in this new episode, the list is finally mentioned and another name added to it. Guess whose name it is.
These are the names of everyone on Arya’s list, dead or alive: Cersei Lannister, Ilyn Payne, Melisandre, Beric Dondarrion/Thoros of Myr, The Hound, Polliver, Joffrey Baratheon, Rorge, Tywin Lanister, Meryn Trant, Walder Frey, The Mountain, and a new name.

We have watched as Arya went round the seven kingdoms, slitting throats, cracking skulls and pitting enemies against other enemies over the seasons, and she has grown more powerful as the seasons have gone by, especially after her long encounter with the many-faced god. By the end of this episode, the dagger is in the clutches of Arya, after it is given to her by Bran who has no use for it. Now people believe that coupled with Bran’s knowledge of Baelish’s role in the execution of their father – not to mention how he married Sansa off to House Bolton – that dagger may be the key to his demise at the hands of the now rather powerful Arya Stark. If Arya kills Littlefinger and adopts her faceless skill with her victim – just like she did with Walder Frey at the very start of season seven – she could prove a very dangerous player in the oncoming war for the Iron Throne.

The story of how Nigeria’s census figures became weaponized - Feyi Fawehinmi

By Feyi Fawehinmi The story of Nigeria’s 1962 census never gets old. Southern politicians seeking to end the north’s dominance of Nigerian politics decided that the only way to do it was through the census. Population figures at the time determined not only parliamentary representation but also revenue allocation and employee distribution in the civil service. In May 1962, the first census under an independent Nigerian government began. There had been a frenzy of mobilization by politicians in the south of the country using pamphlets, radio, schools, churches and mosques. Although the final results were not made public, the preliminary results were quite clear as to what had happened: the north’s population had gone up from 16.5 million in the last census in 1952 to 22.5 million, an increase of 30%. But in some parts of the east, the population had increased by up to 200% and more than 70% in general. The west also reported an increase of 70%. What the preliminary results showed...

Game Of Thrones Finale Breaks Record Again

The finale of the 7th season of HBO hit show “Game of Thrones” has again broken the record to become HBO’s most watched show ever. The episode “The Dragon and the Wolf” was seen by 12.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen. HBO said when views from streaming service HBO Go and its stand-alone HBO Now app are included, that number rises to a whooping 16.5 million viewers. The 12.1 million viewers is a 36 percent improvement from last season finale which was seen by 8.9 million people. The previous record for the most watched HBO show belonged to, fittingly, episode 5 of the 7th season Game of Thrones, which was seen by 10.7 million viewers. HBO added that this season averaged 31 million viewers per episode once all live, time-shifted, on-demand, and streaming views are included. This is another record set by the show.

Sagay saying nonsense, he should keep quiet -Senate

The Senate on Saturday replied Sagay, asking him to stop making ‘nonsensical statements’ capable of denigrating the nation’s parliament. The red chamber stated this while reacting to a statement credited to the professor of law, which was widely published in the mass media on Saturday. Sagay had described the 8th Senate as the worst in the history of Nigeria, adding that its members would be kicked out in 2019 general election. He also described the ongoing constitution amendment by the National Assembly as a hypocritical exercise, which would lead nowhere. He further lambasted the Bukola Saraki-led Senate for refusing to devolve power to the states, scrapping the State Independent Electoral Commission and for refusing to ensure 35 per cent affirmative action for women. But the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi-Abdullahi, asked Sagay to go back to the classroom if he had become overwhelmed by the national assignment given to hi...
