Avoid June 12 protests, US advises citizens in Nigeria

The United States Mission to Nigeria has advised its citizens in the country to avoid the June 12, 2021 protests which will take place on Saturday in several parts of the country.

The US said this in an advisory on Friday titled, ‘Demonstration Alert: US Mission Nigeria (June 11, 2021) – Nationwide Protests on Democracy Day.’

It said it is likely that the protests will take place at the Unity Fountain, Abuja; and Lekki tollgate plaza and Gani Fawehinmi Park in Lagos.

The embassy advised American citizens to keep a low profile and avoid the areas where the protests will hold.

The advisory read in part, “Several groups have announced their intentions to protest nationwide on June 12, Democracy Day. Police presence and response can be expected nationwide, including in Abuja where government events are scheduled to celebrate the national holiday and in Lagos where simultaneous protests are planned.

“The likely locations for the protests in Abuja will be at Unity Fountain (Hilton Hotel area), Wuse, Berger Roundabout, Aguiyi Ironsi Way, Airport Road, and British Circle. In Lagos, the likely locations for protests will be Lekki Toll Gate and Gani Fawehinmi Park. Calls for the protests suggest they may begin as early as 7am.

“Actions to Take: Avoid the areas of the demonstrations. Exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests. Monitor local media for updates. Keep a low profile.”

Several groups are expected to hold protests against maladministration, insecurity, the suspension of Twitter and other issues.

However, some others like the #RevolutionNow led by Sahara Reporters Publisher, Omoyele Sowore, are expected to hold a rally tagged, ‘Buhari Must Go’ which some state governments have kicked against.

Bill to scrap NYSC at second reading in House of Reps

Bill to scrap NYSC at second reading in House of Reps

By Arogbonlo Israel
Following calls for the discontinuation of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Alteration Bill, 2020, which is seeking to repeal the NYSC Act, has been billed for the second reading in the House of Representatives.

The sponsor, Mr Awaji-Inombek Abiante, in the explanatory memorandum of the proposal, rolled out the various reasons the NYSC should be scrapped.

The statement read partly;

“This bill seeks to repeal Section 315(5)(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, (as amended) on the following grounds:

“Incessant killing of innocent corps members in some parts of the country due to banditry, religious extremism and ethnic violence; incessant kidnapping of innocent corps members across the country;

“Public and private agencies/departments are no longer recruiting able and qualified Nigerian youths, thus relying heavily on the availability of corps members who are not being well remunerated and get discarded with impunity at the end of their service year without any hope of being gainfully employed;

“Due to insecurity across the country, the National Youth Service Corps management now gives considerations to posting corps members to their geopolitical zone, thus defeating one of the objectives of setting up the service corps, i.e. developing common ties among the Nigerian youths and promote national unity and integration.”

Why Buhari Didn’t Attend Burial Of Army Chief, Others– Presidential Aide

Why Buhari Didn’t Attend Burial Of Army Chief, Others– Presidential Aide


The Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has adduced reason for the refusal of the president to attend the Saturday’s burial of late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, and other military officers who died in a plane crash in Kaduna on Friday.

Platinum Post reports that there have been mounting criticisms and condemnations of the President’s decision to shun the burial, which took place at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja.

But in a post on her verified Twitter handle on Sunday, Onochie said for a President to at any funeral or event outside the Villa, the event must have at least 48 hours interval.

The Presidential aide, however, said she was not aware of such rule before it was shared by one Muhammed Yusuf.

” For a President to be at any funeral or event outside the Presidential Villa, the event must have at least 48 hours for intelligence operatives to do surveillance and clearance before the President can go based on the Security report.

” In a case where the COAS and his team died yesterday and had to be buried today, you don’t expect the President to go there where there is no security clearance.

” The minimum time of 48 hours wasn’t met. In insecurity parlance, funeral ceremonies are where politically exposed persons face more risks.

” Security issues and securing the President are not done by emotions or sentiments. There’re laid down procedures that must be followed. Be enlightened. ”

Nigeria is a federal republic currently under a strong presidential administration, a National Assembly made up of 2 chambers— a Senate and a House of Representatives— and a judiciary. It has 36 administrative divisions known as states. Each of the states is divided into local governments. Thus, Nigeria has 3 tiers of government: national, state, and local.

Nigeria emerged from British colonial rule with a multi-party system deemed essential to democratic governance. However, those political parties were not differentiated or distinguished from each other by any political or economic ideology. Rather, they were essentially ethnic and regionally based and were preoccupied with promoting ethnic and regional interests.

The politics of ethnic and regional security play a key role in Nigeria’s political and economic development as well as its role in Africa and the world in general. It is the major source of the growing political crisis in Nigeria. It undermines the selection of responsible and responsive national leadership by politicizing ethnicity.

EXPOSED! ! ! Shekau Was Not Killed By Anybody, See What Actually Happened
Confirm

The events leading to the death of the most dreaded terrorist in Nigeria happened Wednesday evening when the stronghold of the terror group leader was invaded by the fighters of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

Islamic State West Africa Province raided the Bokoharam’ s hideout using multiple gun trucks and hundreds of fighters.

 

The King of Terror’ s base was invaded by ISWAP using its fighters the Timbuktu Triangle. Shekau’ s loyal fighters were overpowered in the process and more than 3 hours of gunfire exchange between the invading group and Shekau’ s bodyguards ensued.

Abubakar Shekau was said to have surrendered and engaged in long hours talks and negotiations with the ISWAP fighters after all his bodyguards were overpowered.

During the negotiations, he was asked to relinquish power and order all his fighters in other regions to declare allegiance to ISWAP’ s authority. They ISWAP fighters were expecting Mr Shekau to make a speech ordering all his fighters to do as he was directed.

The Bokoharam leader who felt humiliated was said not to be okay with such humiliation and detonated the suicide vest he secretly had on him and blew up himself and all those present during the negotiations.

The clear identities of all the ISWAP fighters present during the negotiations who died along side Shekau is not known.

Mr Shekau who have been the Helmsman of the dreaded militia group, Bokoharam since 2009 after the death of Mohammed Yusuf, the group’ s founder, have been rumoured to have been killed more than four times between July 2009 and August 2015.

The Nigerian Airforce claimed in August 2016 that Mr Shekau had been fatally wounded during an aerial bombardment by the military but the terrorist group later released a video barely one month later showing he was in good health and alive.

More Tears As Wedding Pictures & Videos Of The Pilot Who Died In The Kaduna Plane Crash Surfaces

Tears, anguish, and lamentation is currently the mouth of friends and family members of Alfred Ayodeji Olufade, the Flight Lieutenant who died alongside others in yesterday’ s plane crash in Kaduna. This was even aggravated as wedding pictures and videos of the deceased pilot surfaces online.

Flight Lieutenant Alfred Ayodeji Olufade reportedly had his wedding recently. According to reports, his wedding happened in February this same year. He was married to Onyema Attah from Benue State. The deceased Kogi State- born pilot died exactly three months after his wedding.


Recall that the ill- fated plane, Beechcraft 350 aircraft crashed at the Kaduna International Airport yesterday Friday. The preliminary report shows that the ill- fated Air Force plane crashed as a result of bad weather that happened in Kaduna yesterday.

Some eyewitnesses said there was heavy and windy rain in Kaduna yesterday. The rain was said to last for hours causing a lot of traffic and erosion in the city of Kaduna. The amateur video that was circulated yesterday which was alleged to have been taken from the scene also shows how windy it was yesterday.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time a Nigerian Airforce plane will crash. In this year alone, we have recorded more than 3 Nigerian Air Force plane crashes. The last one was in Maiduguri in Borno State where we lost an Alpha Jet and two pilots.

The jet was reportedly on its way to give support to ground troops in the fight against the Boko Haram elements before it crashed.

In total, we have lost close to 20 people to these crashes alone. About eleven people were said to be on board in the last crash that happened yesterday. This also includes the current chief of army staff, Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru. May their souls rest in peace.
