The leader of the indigenous people of Biafra IPOB Mazi Nnamdi Kanu today argues out the the impostor occupant of Aso Rock as he alleges. The Biafran leader during his radio broadcast he tagged " unmasking Jubril "
He warned he is giving the handlers of the scam as he calls it time to remove Jubril if not Nigeria will collapse.
Bellow are key points of the broadcast in his own worlds.
"I am giving them time to remove Jubril and they do not accept that, the zoo will collapse".
"I don't know why the Yoruba news agencies would not do an investigative journalism on the impostor in Aso Rock.
I don't know why the Yoruba hate Biafra.
It's understandable they stand to gain from the closure of all the ports in Biafraland as long as Lagos remains the only way to import into Nigeria.
As long as Igbos develop Yoruba land for them.
As long as they receive allocation from Abuja.
They will always agree to one Nigeria".
"I told you that the handlers of Jibril will not be able to take him to Paris summit and it happened".
"I told you he might not return on Tuesday and he never returned".
"Ask yourself why Femi told you he was at the peace summit but he snicked to Museum de Picasso in Paris for a dinner".
"I told you he will go to adjust his ear.
Abba Yayri went to join him because he is the architect".
"Why were they avoiding Jubril not to meet with other heads of state?
They have gone to hire Hollywood film makers to edit the video to put him in motion with original summit video. By tomorrow you will see".
"Do you know the reason why Africa is poor?
Africa is poor because black people are wicked.
Why do you think we are so wicked?
How can they be earning millions in a month and they will find it difficult to give you N30,000?"
"Fami Adesina lied that Buhari went to the peace summit because they don't want him to meet Trump and other head of states.
Femi was busy doing photoshoot where Buhari was addressing the conference while President of France was addressing the summit".
"We must remember that this very Jubrin on 9 of November that your president was jetting out to the summit.
Nigerians was watching as the claimed he was going to Paris, but surprise surprise he was not shown when he landed.
Buhari in the past had a televised landing, what happened on this?"
"Buhari in the past saw an arranged army and he refused to come down from the aircraft in Germany.
This time around the present Buhari was not seen by all the video coverages from international televisions.
Now tell me why would they release fake pictures saying Buhari was in the summit".
"I told you in 2017 that Buhari was dead.
We got information that the the international bodies wanted to expose him that was why they wanted everyone to remove their hats. He was terrified and ran away".
Jubril went to a conference with Nigerians in France and no one was allowed to use phones. Even the people present started discussing amongst themselves that this is not Buhari.
Non was allowed to snap any picture in the said conference".
"Femi Adesina show us one single picture of the person you said is Buhari shaking hand of any head of state in Paris"
"I want people to get video of old Buhari with Bukola Saraki 2015/ 2016 and a video of two of them in 2018".
"Anybody thinking that the unmasking of Buhari is a conspiracy theory is a fool".
"I am in Israel now because I was the first person to say Buhari was dead. They came to kill me".
"Ask yourself why the presidency had to lie on a minor attendance".
"On 10th Nov Femi posted that Buhari has arrived at the Paris peace forum.
They were trying to distract you from the main invent".
"How come you became shorter than Saraki?
How come your son came back from surgery and you gave him a handshake from a mile?"
Why would Yoruba media cover a Sudanese? He asked angrily.
Abaki Yari should be hanged in the public, he said.
"Let's just agree that the late Buhari made a miraculous recovery, did his gap teeth close as well?
Since this people likes fudging certificate and lying, the Ariwa North and Yoruba should be in the same country".
Why did NTA and Chanels not cover Buhari's speech ?
What are they covering?
Jubril should be in prison and not in Aso Rock to be voted out".
What a sad experience for the wife of a president was begging for the dead body of her husband from the cabal he exclaimed.
"Why would Saraki say Atiku is a Nigerian and we need a Nigerian leader"?
"I want BBC to have a look at the pictures realised by Femi Adesina to compare the pinup on the said Buhari had with the ones of other heads of states.
His name was not on the guest list.
Every head of state came with their wives. Why is it that Aisha did not travel with him?
That is why I like her. She respects herself".
"They showed us pictures where Obiano accompanied the president to Paris and also should us another picture of the same Obiano seen welcoming who he traveled with
How did he fly back before him?"
He now asked Daura in reaction to the interview he granted the following questions;
1) Why was it reported that AU leaders had a minute silence for Buhari?
2) Why did the Queen of England send condolence massage to Nigeria?
2) Where did the presidential jet that left London travel to?
3) Why has the presidency not been able to realise what killed or rather what illness Buhari suffered from?
4) Why did Atiku say he can not contest election with a foreigner?
5) Why have they not asked Rochas what he means when he wants to say that Nigerians would hear and burn down Aso Rock?
He concluded by stating that he is still going to do a TV version of the "unmasking of Jubril" as soon as the specialists from USA comes.

Rochas goes after traders again this time allegedly loots their goods
The Imo state governor Rochas Okorochas has unleashed hell on traders in Owerri in what seems to be a transferred aggression from his political shortcomings.
A witness speaking out of pity for the suffering this move by the governor will transfer to the public especially this season said " after the state and Abuja rejected his planned imposition of his son-in-law as the next state governor, he promised to bring Hell to Imolites, and has just received the key to Hell today and promised to open it fully by Monday.
Gov. Rochas was a few minutes ago at Douglas owerri, destroying the traders market and road side shops."
He proceeded by accusing the governor to have looted a trader who was offloading his yam which just came in from the north as the governor used all the pick-up vans in his convoy to take away all the yams despite the trader shading tears and begging for mercy.
" Rochas should have told us that he needs yams to eat rather than this daylight robbery" he lamented.
"Before he left, he promised to resume full scale work by Monday.
If you have a God that listens to your prayers, now is the time to call on him".

Sex Scandal: Our affair started after Bill Clinton saw my underwear –Monica Lewinsky
Former White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, has revealed what triggered her affair with former US president, Bill Clinton.
In an upcoming docu-series, titled, “The Clinton Affair,” where Lewinsky shared new details about her time in the White House, she said it was her exposed underwear that got the president’s attention back in 1995, reports AOL.com
She said that, during a birthday party for a White House staffer, where Clinton was present, Lewinsky said she noticed that her underwear was unintentionally showing from behind but she decided to leave it be.
“Instead of pulling my trousers up, like I would in any other instance, I didn’t,” she recalled. “It was unnoticeable to everybody else in the room, but [Clinton] noticed.”
“As I passed George Stephanopoulos’ office, I kind of looked into the open doorway, and Bill happened to be standing there,” she went on. “And he motioned me in — I don’t think my heart had ever beat that fast. Unbeknownst to me, I was on the precipice of the rabbit hole.”
Lewinsky and Clinton indulged in an affair between 1995 and 1997. It came to limelight in 1998.

Imo 2019: Okorocha Raises Alarm Over Alleged Fake Court Order
Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has raised an alarm over what he described as a fake court order.
The governor on Thursday alleged that the fake court order was used to remove Uche Nwosu’s name as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
He also added that a purported court injunction served on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish Hope Uzodinma’s name as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state is fake and has no authenticity from any court or judge in Nigeria.
“Information reaching me shows that a fake court order was used in removing the name of the candidate of APC in Imo State which is Nwosu. That report seems to be very authentic and that is what INEC may have relied on to do what they did.
“This is because as at day in the morning till around 2:00 p.m., Uche Nwosu’s name was still there to be published in line with the two court orders supporting his candidature.”
He, therefore, called on both the leadership of the party and INEC to explain the reasons for the alleged deliberate attempt behind the removal of Uche Nwosu’s name as the governorship candidate of APC in Imo State.
The governor has had a running battle with the party’s chairman is challenging the party and the INEC on the authenticity of the court order that informed INEC’s decision to publish Senator Hope Uzodinma’s name as the party’s governorship candidate in Imo State.

New Minimum Wage: Get Ready For Sack ~ Governors
Nigerian governors have said they cannot afford to pay workers a minimum wage of N30,000 unless the organised labour wants its members to be sacked.
Apart from this, the governors at their emergency meeting in Abuja on Wednesday night, asked the Federal Government to also accede to the review of the national revenue allocation formula.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum who is also the Governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, who read the communiqué after the meeting, said that a new committee would be raised to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari over the issue.
He said the committee would work out another formula towards quickly resolving the problem associated with the proposed minimum wage.
Yari said, “Following a meeting of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum where we deliberated on the national minimum wage, governors resolved to re-strategise and put together another committee to meet with the President once again, to work out another formula towards quickly resolving the problem associated with the proposed N30.000 minimum wage which is impracticable unless labour agrees to a downsizing of the workforce all over the country or the Federal Government itself accedes to the review of the national revenue allocation formula.
“Members of the committee who were nominated to see the President include the governors of Lagos, Kebbi, Plateau, Bauchi, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi. Enugu and Kaduna.”
The federation account is currently being managed on a legal framework that allows funds to be shared under three major components – statutory allocation, Value Added Tax distribution; and allocation made under the derivation principle.
Under statutory allocation, the Federal Government gets 52.68 per cent of the revenue shared; states, 26.72 per cent; and local governments, 20.60 per cent.
The framework also provides that Value Added Tax revenue be shared thus; FG, 15 per cent; states, 50 per cent; and LGs, 35 per cent.
Similarly, extra allocation is given to the oil producing states based on the 13 per cent derivation principle.
Yari said that he and his colleagues had seen the report of the Tripartite Committee report presented to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The committee, which is headed by Amal Pepple, recommended N30, 000 as minimum wage.

Nnamdi Kanu: Court orders Abaribe, others to pay 100 million over Nnamdi Kanu's disappearance
The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the three persons, including Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, who stood sureties for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to within two months, pay the sum of N100m each into the court’s account for their inability to produce the missing Biafran activist in court.
Justice Binta Nyako gave the order on Wednesday in a ruling in which she amended the conditions of the bail she had in April 2017 granted Kanu.
Kanu is being prosecuted before the court on charges of treasonable felony.
His trial had been earlier separated from that of his co-accused following his disappearance after a military invasion of his home in Afara-Ukwu, Umuahia, in Abia State, on September 14, 2017.
The three sureties who guaranteed his bail had been made to sign a bail bond of N100m each which was backed by their landed assets whose documents were deposited in court.
But with the amendment ordered by the court on Wednesday, they are now required to deposit cash of N100m in the bank account of the court.
Justice Nyako ruled that the three sureties had two months to pay the sum of N100m each into the court’s account.
The judge reiterated that the order directing the sureties to pay the money was an order of interim forfeiture.
She fixed March 28 for the hearing of the motions filed by the sureties to challenging the duties imposed on them to produce the IPOB leader.

Organized Labour gives December final deadline for N30,000 minimum wage implementation
The President of Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Bobboi Bala Kaigama and the Secretary General of the Association of Senior Civil Servant of Nigeria (ASCSN), Comrade Bashir Lawal, gave the warning at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the ASCSN, held at the Chida Hotel, Abuja on Tuesday.
They both warned that labour would not accept anything less than the N30,000 agreed by the Committee, as Nigerian workers patiently await President Muhammadu Buhari, to forward the Executive Bill to the National Assembly, for its passage into law.
In his speech, Comrade Kaigama, who is also the National President of ASCSN, stressed the urgent need to fast-track the implementation of the newly agreed national minimum wage.
Specifically, he said the expectation of labour is that the full implementation of the N30,000 new minimum wage should not exceed December.
According to Kaigama: “It is worthy of note that the single most important issue agitating the mind of an average Nigerian worker today is that of the new National Minimum Wage, the report of which was presented to Mr President on Tuesday 6th November 2018. It is apt to state that against all odds the Tripartite Committee that negotiated the new Minimum Wage was able to scale all hurdles and agreed to the sum of N30,000 as the new Minimum wage for the country.
“It is on this premise that I strongly want to appeal to the Federal Government to fast-track the process of enacting the new National Minimum Wage into law.
“Our expectation is that the Government should be able to complete the entire process before the end of this year so that workers who have waited for so long can begin to enjoy a new lease of life provided by the newly agreed minimum wage".
The TUC president also regretted that the core civil service, which is the engine room of government, is the least paid in the Public Service; since other segments thereof have had their emoluments beefed up over the years.
He explained that even though civil servants, for instance, possess the same qualifications and experience as their counterparts in the Parastatals and Agencies, “yet, the salaries of these other employees are, in most cases, three times more than that of officers in the core ministries".
He added: “This situation has been made worse by the fact that since 2010 when Salary Relativity was carried out in the core civil service, no salary increment has been granted to civil servants except for the N900 monthly that was added to the emoluments of senior officers across board after N18,000 was approved as the National Minimum Wage in 2011.”
ASCSN Secretary General , Comrade Lawal, said they were holding President Buhari to his words that he would send the report submitted to him to the National Assembly.
He said: “The way we interpret the President speech is that he said he is going to forward Executive Bill to the National Assembly, and on that, we stand. We are not going to accept five kobo drop on that N30,000; we are not going to accept it. We are not going to accept anything less than N30,000. Like I said earlier on, we have mobilised already, we only suspended. So, we will pick off from where we left. It is not going to be a difficult thing".
He explained that the President should send the bill to the National Assembly before the next two weeks, saying, “we want it done less than two weeks; we cannot wait till the end of November because we want the minimum wage achieved this year.
“We are taking Mr President for his words now, but we have a timeline on when we will swing into action. Our members are ready and only waiting for directive; we are prepared because as we have always say, we have never gotten anything on a platter of gold".

Updated guidelines on managing cholesterol to minimize the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death
Group of physicians at Johns Hopkins Medicine and the American Heart Association have released updated guidelines on managing cholesterol to minimize the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death. The new guidelines advocate for more aggressive treatment with statin therapy and getting LDL cholesterol counts, commonly referred to as “bad cholesterol” to your target level –- in general, less than 100mg/dL; for those with risk factors, less than 70mg/dL.
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a type of fat found in blood and cells. It travels in bundles called lipoproteins. Cholesterol itself isn’t bad -- the body needs it to make hormones, vitamin D and digestive fluids, and it helps organs function properly. But having too much cholesterol can be a problem.
There are two forms of cholesterol:
- LDL (low-density lipoprotein): “bad,” unhealthy cholesterol. It builds up in arteries forming plaques, which can block the flow of oxygen-carrying blood to major organs including the heart, and has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular events including heart attacks and stroke. LDL levels are influenced by the food you eat, genetics, liver function and other factors.
- HDL (high-density lipoprotein): “good,” healthy cholesterol. It takes extra cholesterol out of arteries and delivers it to the liver, removing it from the body.
How do I know if I need to lower my cholesterol?
There are three tests to talk about with your doctor:
- Non-fasting blood test to measure LDL cholesterol
- Coronary artery calcium score
- Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Estimator -- an equation to calculate the 10-year future risk of a heart attack
Based on these tests, your doctor will decide if you should be on a statin.
What can I do to lower my cholesterol?
Lifestyle changes including exercise, a healthy diet, and quitting smoking can prevent 80 percent of heart disease. Diet has been shown to be vitally important and effective in preventing heart attacks and reducing the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events in those who have already had a heart attack. Plant-based and Mediterranean diets are effective but you must find a diet that works for you. However, lifestyle changes may not be enough; you may need to take a statin to lower your LDL further.
What are statins?
Statins prevent heart attacks by lowering LDL and reducing inflammation, among other mechanisms. They can be used to prevent a heart attack or stroke before it occurs, or prevent a second heart attack or stroke.
What are the side effects of statins?
The risk of serious side effects range from one in 500 to one in 1,000, which is considered very low. Muscle aches are a possible side effect, but are not considered serious. An increase in the dose of statins is not associated with an increase in side effects.
What is the bottom line of the new recommendations?
Talk to your doctor about what LDL level is right for you, and use the highest dose of statin tolerated to get to that target LDL level. And, as always, continue with lifestyle modifications, including exercise, a healthy diet, and quitting smoking.

Brexit deal is FINALLY ready: Theresa May summons Cabinet ministers to No 10 'one-by-one' after negotiating teams reach 'technical' agreement
The Prime Minister is bracing for a potentially explosive showdown with her ministers after officials in Brussels firmed up a text overnight.
Following the breakthrough, the Cabinet is set to be brought into Downing Street individually this evening for discussions with Mrs May.
No10 will hope the personal treatment can minimise the risk of resignations by Brexiteers when the senior team gathers again at 2pm tomorrow.
However, even if the premier survives the crunch session with her Cabinet unscathed she is facing a massive task to push the deal through Parliament.
The dramatic movement comes as the clock runs down on a deadline for triggering a crunch EU summit that could approve a divorce package this month.
At a 45-minute Cabinet meeting this morning, Mrs May said there were only a few issues to be finalised and UK officials were pushing for the 'best text that can be negotiated'.
Boris Johnson tore into 'stage managed delays' to the Brexit process today, saying people should not be 'fooled by this theatre' and a 'surrender' by the government is imminent.
EU and UK negotiators are said to have agreed a text for a 'backstop' to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic last night.
A source told RTE that the agreement was now 'as stable as it can be' and had been sent to Downing Street.
But Mrs May must still get it past an increasing restive Cabinet, before running the gauntlet of vehement opposition from Remainers and Brexiteers in Parliament.
Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab is said to be spearheading a group of ministers who have been warning that crashing out of the EU would be better than caving into EU demands.
Mr Raab has apparently being trying to harden the resolve of colleagues by assuring them that a no-deal Brexit can be 'managed'.
The Brexit divorce negotiations have boiled down to the issue of the Irish border.
The line between Northern Ireland and the Republic will be the UK's only land border with the EU after we leave the bloc.
Brussels had initially demanded that Northern Ireland stays within its jurisdiction for customs and most single market rules to avoid a hard border.
But Mrs May flatly rejected the idea, saying she would not agree to anything that risked splitting the UK. Instead, the government has mooted a temporary customs union for the whole UK, and accepted the need for extra regulatory checks in the Irish Sea.
Brussels has also given ground, and now appears to be prepared to sign off a UK-wide backstop in the divorce deal.
That left the mechanism for ending the backstop as the final hurdle to overcome - but the two sides had different views.
These were the options on the table:
UNILATERAL EXIT
Dominic Raab has been arguing that the UK should be able to scrap the backstop arrangements by giving three to six months' notice.
That would assuage Eurosceptic fears that the country could end up being trapped in an inferior customs union indefinitely, unless the EU gives permission for it to stop or a wider trade deal is sealed.
ALL-WEATHER BACKSTOP
For its part, the EU has been adamant that the backstop must offer an 'all-weather' solution to the Irish border issue and stay in place 'unless and until' it is superseded by other arrangements.
The bloc has already effectively killed off calls for a hard end date to the backstop - and No10 is now convinced that a simple unilateral notice period will not unlock the talks.
COMPROMISE PLAN
Mrs May and Irish PM Leo Varadkar have discussed a 'review mechanism' for the backstop, which could involve an independent arbitration body assessing whether the terms were being honoured and if the arrangement should be ended.
Potentially this could provide a solution that allows Mrs May to say the backstop would not go on for ever.
Attorney General Geoffrey Cox - an eminent QC and strident Brexiteer - has been tasked with coming up with a text that satisfies both sides.
But the devil will be in the detail, and ministers are keen to ensure there are 'robust' ways for the UK to escape .

EU and UK negotiators are said to have agreed a text for a 'backstop' to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic last night.
A source told RTE that the agreement was now 'as stable as it can be' and had been sent to Downing Street.
But Mrs May must still get it past an increasing restive Cabinet, before running the gauntlet of vehement opposition from Remainers and Brexiteers in Parliament.
Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab is said to be spearheading a group of ministers who have been warning that crashing out of the EU would be better than caving into EU demands.
Mr Raab has apparently being trying to harden the resolve of colleagues by assuring them that a no-deal Brexit can be 'managed'.
The Brexit divorce negotiations have boiled down to the issue of the Irish border.
The line between Northern Ireland and the Republic will be the UK's only land border with the EU after we leave the bloc.
Brussels had initially demanded that Northern Ireland stays within its jurisdiction for customs and most single market rules to avoid a hard border.
But Mrs May flatly rejected the idea, saying she would not agree to anything that risked splitting the UK. Instead, the government has mooted a temporary customs union for the whole UK, and accepted the need for extra regulatory checks in the Irish Sea.
Brussels has also given ground, and now appears to be prepared to sign off a UK-wide backstop in the divorce deal.
That left the mechanism for ending the backstop as the final hurdle to overcome - but the two sides had different views.
These were the options on the table:
UNILATERAL EXIT
Dominic Raab has been arguing that the UK should be able to scrap the backstop arrangements by giving three to six months' notice.
That would assuage Eurosceptic fears that the country could end up being trapped in an inferior customs union indefinitely, unless the EU gives permission for it to stop or a wider trade deal is sealed.
ALL-WEATHER BACKSTOP
For its part, the EU has been adamant that the backstop must offer an 'all-weather' solution to the Irish border issue and stay in place 'unless and until' it is superseded by other arrangements.
The bloc has already effectively killed off calls for a hard end date to the backstop - and No10 is now convinced that a simple unilateral notice period will not unlock the talks.
COMPROMISE PLAN
Mrs May and Irish PM Leo Varadkar have discussed a 'review mechanism' for the backstop, which could involve an independent arbitration body assessing whether the terms were being honoured and if the arrangement should be ended.
Potentially this could provide a solution that allows Mrs May to say the backstop would not go on for ever.
Attorney General Geoffrey Cox - an eminent QC and strident Brexiteer - has been tasked with coming up with a text that satisfies both sides.
But the devil will be in the detail, and ministers are keen to ensure there are 'robust' ways for the UK to escape .

Peter OBI REPLIES EL-RUFAI
"I served with 6 Police Commissioners. Not one is from the South East. When I started, my first police commissioner was John Haruna from Taraba. When he left, he handed over to Musa Bello from Kwara. Then followed by Philemon Leha from Adamawa. Then Mutare from Kano. Then Nasarawa from Kebbi State. Finally Gware from Adamawa.
My ADC was Idris from Kano and my orderly, Manya from Taraba.
As you know, no Governor is in control of either Police or State security services.
Ask El Rufai how many Igbo people he had entrusted his personal security in their hands.
There was election in my state and I, as the sitting Governor didn't go to arrest anybody on election day or seen moving from one Local government to the other.
As the Governor, I went to my own local government to vote and back to Awka.
El Rufai came to Anambra State on an election day and said he wants to move around the Local governments. The state security services said you can't move around. Not even the Governor is allowed to move around.
Only accredited voters and accredited monitors in groups are allowed to move from place to place. So, for your safety, we want you to be safe, so stay in the hotel.
If you come for a party affair, you stay in the hotel which I think is right.
When I was asked after that in an interview I said now listen... I Peter wouldn't want to be in Kaduna, for the same reason on an election day.
In my 8 years in office, go and ask them how many people were killed in my state the way people are being killed in his state".

California Wildfire which incinerated Paradise is now the joint deadliest in state history leaving 29 dead and 228 missing as 8,000 firefighters battle the infernos statewide which have killed 31 in total
Authorities have reported six additional deaths in a Northern California, raising the death toll to 29 and making it the deadliest wildfire on record in California history.
Butte County Sheriff Cory Honea said the human remains recovered on Sunday included five bodies found at homes and one in a vehicle in Paradise.
Honea said the devastation was so complete in some neighborhoods that 'it's very difficult to determine whether or not there may be human remains there'.
'In some cases, the only remains we are able to recover are bones or bone fragments,' Honea said.
He also announced that 228 people remain unaccounted for since the fire began Thursday and incinerated the foothill town.
The statewide total of deaths from wildfires reached 31.
One of the fire's victims was an ailing woman whose body was found in bed in a burned-out house in Concow, near Paradise.
Ellen Walker, who was in her early 70s, was home alone when the fire struck on Thursday, according to Nancy Breeding, a family friend.
The 29 deaths matched the deadliest single fire on record, a 1933 blaze in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, though a series of wildfires in Northern California wine country last fall killed 44 people and destroyed more than 5,000 homes.
'This weighs heavy on all of us,' Honea said. 'Myself and especially those staff members who are out there doing what is important work but certainly difficult work.'
Ten search and recovery teams are working in Paradise - a town of 27,000 that was largely incinerated on Thursday - and in surrounding communities.
Authorities called in a mobile DNA lab and anthropologists to help identify victims of the most destructive wildfire in California history.
By early afternoon, one of the two black hearses stationed in Paradise had picked up another set of remains.
People looking for friends or relatives called evacuation centers, hospitals, police and the coroner's office.
Officials and relatives held out hope that many of those unaccounted for were safe and simply had no cellphones or other ways to contact loved ones. The sheriff's office in the stricken northern county set up a missing-persons call center to help connect people.
Gov Jerry Brown asked President Donald Trump to declare a major disaster to bolster the emergency response and help residents recover.

Buhari needs to prove he is not dead – Former British lawmaker, Eric Joyce explodes again
This was a post credited to Daily Post dated June 14, 2017. This is coming as the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra IPOB insisted in his radio broadcast that the occupant in Aso Rock is an impostor as we have earlier published.
Daily Post was quoted as saying thus;
A British politician and former military officer, Eric Stuart Joyce, has again stirred up controversy over the health of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Joyce who insisted that Buhari, is dead has now challenged the Nigerian President to prove otherwise.
Writing on his website, he said: “Nigeria has an extremely capable acting president, of course, but if Mr Buhari is declared dead or permanently incapacitated then it will be the second time in succession that a Northern Muslim president has died and been replaced by his Southern Christian deputy. This is a challenge in a country whose democracy is based upon a complex balance of different regional and religious interests.
"However, it is a challenge Nigeria is most certainly up to given the great success which was the peaceful handing over of power after the last election.
“And so, a top tip for Nigerians. Insist that, like most democracies, it is a strict requirement of being president that your people know exactly what your physical condition is at all times. This practice is not historically confined to democracies, of course. Kings of old were routinely watched in their bedchambers; Queens were watched as they gave birth to heirs. This was all to ensure that things were as they seemed. Requiring a president to show he is capable of running his country, and is definitely not dead, is a simple and practical extension of this.
“For now, with no sight nor sound of the president and no proof even of life for some time, it seems that in a bid to manage the succession the presidency may be lying to the public about the presidents health or even life, and making Nigeria’s democratic status a mockery into the bargain.
The Nigerian media seems to be unconcerned about all of this; unconcerned that he may be dead; unconcerned that if he is alive then he may be too ill to carry on. In the absence of serious newspaper and TV media, then, it is left to social media to do the job. So here we are.
“We recommend that every Nigerian check their own wardrobes for Mr Buhari, and perhaps ask their children if they have any ideas. If you do this, you will have looked harder for him than the Nigerian media.”
This comes at a time, when SaharaReporters claims Aisha Buhari did see her husband when she visited UK.
