Breaking
The Nigeria terrorist state has ran out of options and idea that they have concluded to close Finnish embassy in Abuja and cut ties with Finland. Finland will have better future with emerging state of Biafra than whatever the terrorist Nigeria state can offer.
What have Finland benefited from Nigeria other than pushing Nigeria criminals to Finland, who come with fake and forged documents.
Norway closed their embassy in Nigeria long ago, their Embassy is now in Ghana, they lose nothing but the burden of sorting fake and forged documents relieved.

EndBadGovernance protests forced us to listen to Nigerians — Bagudu
Kindly share the story

Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Bagudu, has said the recent nationwide protests forced the federal government to listen to Nigerians’ yearnings.

Bagudu, who blamed the country’s current struggles on past administrations, said despite past mistakes, President Bola Tinubu has refused to play the blame game.

The minister spoke at the ‘’Nigerian Economic Summit Group National Economic Dialogue on Nigeria’s Economic Future: 25 Years of Democracy and Beyond.’’

While noting that efforts were in progress to improve the country’s fortunes, Bagudu said: “We have learnt that even the current protests have made us listen more. Whatever we are doing, we have taken the message that we need to do more, we need to do better, and we need to do it in a hurry.”

Speaking further, the minister said: “President Bola Tinubu has been very reluctant to reflect on the past and blame anybody, but the net effect is that despite efforts by previous administrations, especially in the last 25 years, we are not where we want to be.

“So, what do we do? It’s not because of anyone’s failing, but that is our reality. We have yet to achieve the income per capita that we require, and it’s not for lack of trying; it’s not for lack of successes. With the transformation in the telecommunication sector, at some point, we even reversed our gross domestic product, GDP.

‘’Our population has grown from 119 million in 1999 to about 230 million, almost double. Still, our oil production, for example, 2.2 million barrels in 1999, is now rather than 4 million, according to the doubling of our population, which is still under 1.5 million, reflecting cumulative years of underinvestment in the sector.

“So, our reality is that we are not where we want to be, and our constitution needs to be more transparent about what we should do. Chapter 2 of our Constitution, the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy, clearly discusses the country’s political objectives. It is also very clear about the economic objectives—what kind of economy we want to run.

“Chapter two of the Constitution spells out citizens’ duties. The chapter opens by saying that all persons in authority, legislative, executive, and judicial, at all levels of government, have the primary mandate to ensure the achievement of those fundamental objectives in Chapter 2.

“So, the constitution—maybe we can interrogate it and make it better—provides a starting point. Agenda 2050 reflects those objectives. We want a nation that includes all. We want a higher per capita by the year 2050. We want to ensure that we invest not less than $100 billion annually.

‘’But if our experience in the last 25 years should serve us as a guide, we sometimes know how difficult it is because you have to make choices that are both pleasant and unpleasant to be able to mobilise capital, private and borrowed, to support our aspiration.

“If we are to provide for what we can pay, this is what it costs. And it’s in terms of money way above what was available to us. So, I know this is an opening remark. We are not where we want to be. That’s why after 25 years of constitutional democracy, we are a federal democracy, which requires minimum cooperation among all the tiers of government.

‘’Some achievements in the last 25 years reflect the ability or the post-cooperation sometimes among the tiers of government.

“But we are not lamenting. We are willing to take the bull by the horns. We have a president today who, as God will have it, has actively participated in the last 25 years that are under review. Among his achievements was that he ran a state with the largest economy in the country.

‘’He tried some of the ideas that he’s inviting us to take on at the national level, meaning ideas that we have to support our dreams, the private sector willing to take risks, put money to work, create capital, and create employment.’’

Police invitation to Ajaero: More critical unions give strike notices; August 22, 2024.

NLC holds emergency NEC meeting over Ajaero's police invitation NLC president:

As US-based union petitions Nigerian Embassy

Kindly share the story
LAGOS — Following the police invitation of President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, for questioning over allegations of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion and cybercrime, more critical unions, which are NLC affiliates, yesterday gave strike notices to their members to proceed on indefinite strike should Ajaero be arrested.

This came on a day the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, ILWU, based in North Point, San Francisco, United States of America, petitioned the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, faulting the perceived harassment and persecution of trade unions and their leaders in Nigeria.

Among unions that had already given strike notices to their members are the National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE; Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT; and National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, NUTGTWN.

Others include MWUN; Iron and Steel Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, ISSAN; Fitters Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, FISSAN; Nigeria Union of Agriculture and Allied Employees, NUAAE; National Union of Railway Workers, NUR; Nigeria Civil Service Union, NCSU; and National Union of Postal and Telecommunication Employees, NUPTE.

MWUN in a circular to its local leaders in all port formations in Lagos, Warri, Calabar and Port Harcourt, said its members would comply with the strike directive.

Deputy Secretary-General of the union, Oniha Erazua, said the directive for indefinite nationwide strike was also extended to terminals, jetties, dry ports and oil export terminals.

The notice read: “The decision follows an emergency National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the NLC held on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, in response to what the Congress describes as a ‘persistent orchestrated attack’ on the labour movement by the Nigeria Police Force, NPF.

“As an affiliate of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, we are in compliance and have consequently directed all our members to commence the mobilization of our members to effectively ensure their participation in the nationwide indefinite strike and be on red alert.

“The strike, set to begin at midnight, is a protest against the NPF’s investigation into NLC leadership, including charges of terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony, which the NLC has condemned as ‘clearly unfounded and politically motivated.’

MWUN’s leadership emphasized the urgency and importance of the strike, calling on all members to unite in solidarity with the NLC and the broader Nigerian working class.

“This decision is due to the clearly unfounded and politically motivated police investigation… labelled against the Congress President and the Nigeria working class.

“As the deadline for the strike approaches, MWUN has instructed its members to remain vigilant and fully prepared to participate in the industrial action, which is expected to significantly impact the maritime sector and related industries nationwide,’’ the union stated further.

NUT asks teachers to prepare for a nationwide strike, if…
On its part, the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, also directed teachers nationwide to down tools and begin an indefinite strike should the Police arrest Ajaero.

NUT in a circular to its state wings nationwide by its President and Acting Secretary-General, Audu Amba and Abdullahi Mohammed, said: “As you may be aware, the President of NLC was invited by the Nigeria Police Force on the premise of an unfounded and politically motivated investigation into alleged terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony.

‘’The Congress considers the act of harassment and intimidation as an attempt by the Police to stifle the voice of the working people as represented by the Leadership of Congress.

“Consequently, the NEC of the NLC met and resolved to, among other things, direct all affiliates and state councils to immediately commence the process of mobilizing their members across the nation as the Congress would not hesitate to take all necessary actions to protect the integrity and independence of the labour movement.

“In the light of the above, the NUT hereby directs all state wings of the union to mobilize all teachers and be prepared to proceed on an indefinite nationwide strike , if anything happens to the President or any other leader of the Congress.

“The NUT stands with the NLC in this struggle to uphold justice, fairness, and the rule of law in our nation. All state wings are, therefore, directed to be on alert as they await further directives.

US-based union fumes
Meanwhile, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, ILWU, based in North Point, San Francisco, United States, has lashed out at the Nigerian security agencies for alleged persecution of the labour movement in Nigeria

In a letter to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC, ILWU President, Trent Willis, said: “The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10, which represents longshoremen working in the San Francisco Bay Area, protests in the strongest terms this attack against our fellow trade-unionists.

‘’We demand that all the seized materials be returned and that there be no further reprisals against the NLC.

“This raid came just hours after the NLC held a meeting critical of your government’s repression against students and others who have been protesting over the last two weeks against the austerity measures imposed by your government. Scores of protesters have been killed.

“Hundreds more, including prominent protest leaders, have been arrested and many are still in jail.
‘’These include protest leaders such as Adaramoye Michael (“Michael Lenin”), national coordinator of the Youth Rights Campaign, Mosiu Sodiq, Eleojo Opaluwa and Babatunde Oluajo (“OSB Sankara”). ‘’According to the latest reports, Michael, Sodiq and Eleojo remain in custody. The NLC rightly condemned your attempt to criminalize protest.

“We have active members of our union who were born in Nigeria and who maintain ties with their homeland. The international labour movement is watching. We demand an end to the repression and freedom for all the detainees, hands off the NLC.”

NHRC writes NBA, seeks help to free detained protesters

ABUJA— FOLLOWING the failure of the Federal Government to arraign protesters since August 1, 2024, Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, yesterday, berated the action of the Federal Government and Police and called on President Bola Tinubu to release them unconditionally.

Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, has written the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, seeking help to secure the release of over 1,000 detained protesters across the country.

The police failed to arraign the protesters on Monday and Tuesday, despite fixing those days for arraignment, as the protesters have continued to languish in custody for more than two weeks, without access to their lawyers.

We might protest over delayed arraignment of protesters —OLF
President and Founder, One Love Foundation, OLF, Chief Patrick Eholor, yesterday, reacting to the development, said: “No suspect is to be detained more than 24 hours. It is sad that President Tinubu, who is one of the champions of democracy, who fought along side National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, has been the one that has derailed, bastardised and destroyed the fabrics of democracy.

“If the protesters are not released unconditionally, I and my foundation will write Amnesty International, National Human Rights Commission, and we might protest at the court house or United Nations in Abuja or embassies in Abuja.

“These people barely fought for the soul of the nation and their families, and the President is insensitive to them, even the military didn’t treat us like this.”

Tinubu should allow rule of law takes its course — ActionAid
On his part, Country Director, ActionAid Nigeria, AAN, Andrew Mamedu, said: “Failure to arraign protesters is a breach of their fundamental human rights and ActionAid Nigeria frowns at that because justice delayed is justice denied.

“We always advocate due process and rule of law. So for rule of law, what does it take government to arraign them? They don’t have enough evidence or what it takes? So, they should let them go.
“They are innocent until proven guilty. Delaying them is tantamount to injustice, and we don’t encourage that no matter who the person is.

“The President should allow the rule of law takes its course and the President should know that protesting is not tantamount to breaking the law because our laws are very clear, citizens should be allowed to protest.

“Of course, if you say people were carrying foreign flags but we all know it is not about carrying flags to protest but trying to cook up offences against them, we are totally against it and the President should know and uphold that.”

Tinubu’s reputation at stake — CISLAC
Executive Director, CISLAC, Auwal Rafsanjani, said: “When you are trying to correct something and you are doing something wrong, then you don’t have the moral superiority to that.

“The police should tell us why they have kept people in custody as many of them were not even at the protest ground or doing anything criminal but you decided to punish everybody and there is an inherent danger on that.

“Another issue is there is a financial benefit some people having in the name of feeding the protesters because of the financial gain by those who are keeping protesters in custody in terms of feeding contract. Also this delayed arraignment is creating situation for people to revolt.

“What police is doing is that they are demarketing and destroying Tinubu, and making him unpopular, they are not helping him and are making to look like the greatest human rights violator, and we call on Tinubu to send away those who are destroying his reputation and ensure they stop it, if he is not the one instructing them to do that.”

It portrays govt as insensitive to rule of law—ANEEJ
Also, Executive Director, African Network for Environmental and Economic Justice, ANEEJ, Rev David Ugolor, said: “This is unacceptable and portrays the government as insensitive to the rule of law.
“I hope the Tinubu government will find a way to address the issues raised in the no to bad governance and corruption.

“The issue of hunger is real and many people are suffering and the only way to draw the attention of government is through peaceful protest.

“The government should provide opportunity for dialogue and show respect to the people. Keeping people in prison will not solve the problem.”

NHRC writes NBA, seeks help to free detained protesters
NHRC in a letter by its Executive Director, Dr. Tony Ojukwu, SAN, to the NBA President, said: “The NHRC writes to express deep concern regarding the reported alleged detention of over 1,000 Nigerians following protests against worsening living conditions during the protest.

“As a body committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of all Nigerians, we find it alarming that peaceful demonstrators are being detained and their rights infringed upon. The right to peaceful assembly and expression is guaranteed under our constitution and various international human rights treaties to which Nigeria is a signatory.

“We recognise the pivotal role the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, plays in upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is not denied to the vulnerable in our society. It is in this context that we seek your urgent intervention to ensure that those detained are granted their legal rights, including access to legal representation, prompt and fair trials, or immediate release where no lawful grounds exist for their continued detention.

“The NHRC urges the NBA to take steps in this matter, including mobilizing legal support to secure the release of those unlawfully detained across the country by visiting all police commands in all the states to attend to people detained.

“Collaborating with relevant authorities to ensure that due process is followed and that any violations of human rights are addressed swiftly.”

“Engaging in advocacy and public awareness to prevent future occurrences of unlawful arrests and detentions during peaceful protests.

“We are confident that with the NBA’s intervention, the rights affected will be protected, and measures will be taken to prevent further violations.”

How Africans can defeat poverty — Ondo govt; August 22, 2024.

Poverty in Nigeria
Kindly share the story

Ondo State government has said without a proper mindset, Africans would be unable to defeat poverty, despite the abundant natural resources the continent is blessed with.

Addressing newsmen yesterday in Lagos on the state’s upcoming global entrepreneurship festival, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa said over 200 exhibitors, 43 global speakers, and 5000 participants were expected to attend.

Aiyedatiwa, who was represented by the Commissioner for Information, Mr Wale Akinlosotu, said: “The Global Entrepreneurship Festival is envisioned as a transformative and global cornerstone event to celebrate and catalyze entrepreneurship, promote bilateral trade, encourage investments, social impact, and the 17 sustainable development goals, SDGs.

He said: “We are committed to fostering an environment where innovation and entrepreneurship can thrive. We do not mince words when we say our state is entrepreneurship-driven and investor-friendly. ‘’We have an enabling environment in Ondo State for businesses to thrive. We are working diligently to ensure that the objectives of the festival are not only met, but also exceeded.”

Also speaking, Special Adviser to the Governor on Entrepreneurship and Innovation and Project Lead, Global Entrepreneurship Festival, Dr Summy Smart Francis, said: “The problem of Africa is not poverty. The problem of Africa is what causes poverty. It is the mindset.

‘’We have loads of speakers that will be addressing our young minds. We have world-renowned billionaires and business moguls. The reason we bring those kinds of stories is if they can do it, yes you can, and to set that entrepreneurial mindset right.

“With this abundance of resources in Africa, we can then channel our brain properly to be able to harvest and harness the amazing resources on the continent. Our strongest weapon as a nation is entrepreneurship stamina. Entrepreneurship is our strength.

‘’The strength of Nigeria is the young talent, and creative minds. The amount of creativity in ovaries and talents we have in our nation is enormous.

“The world is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and the skills and knowledge that will be gained at the Global Entrepreneurship Festival will be invaluable in navigating the complexities of today’s economy. I therefore urge young people to embrace this initiative wholeheartedly.

‘’This is your chance to learn from the best, to be inspired by success stories of those who have traversed these waters, and to connect with like-minded individuals from all over the world who share your passion for entrepreneurship.”

21/08/2024

Tinubu has mortgaged Nigeria’s future to family, friends – Atiku.

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said President Bola Tinubu has effectively mortgaged Nigeria’s future to himself, his family and associates to an extent that even after he leaves office, it would be nearly impossible for the nation to break free from his shackles.

Atiku, who was the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate in the 2023 election, compared Tinubu’s integration of his business interests into Lagos’s public enterprises to his efforts at the federal level.

This was contained in a statement released by the Atiku Media Office, in Abuja, yesterday.

In the statement, Atiku said, “Just as Alpha Beta, Primero, and others act as Tinubu’s proxies in Lagos, managing critical sectors and generating revenue for him and his family, he has begun to replicate this at the federal level.”

He expressed astonishment at the operations of the NNPC and how the government-owned oil company had put its retail arm under the control of OVH, a company in which Oando, led by Wale Tinubu, owns 49%.

The Turaki Adamawa expressed regret that his intention to privatize the NNPC and increase its transparency has been overshadowed by what he describes as the criminal hijack of the NNPC by corporate cabals around the current president.

He further said, “In October 2022, just five months before the elections, the NNPC Retail controversially announced it had acquired OVH and all its filling stations. NNPCL already had about 550 filling stations across the country but claimed it was enhancing its capacity by acquiring OVH, which had only 94 stations and 100 others leased.

“The NNPC did not disclose the purchase price of OVH or the terms of the acquisition. A Freedom of Information request by Premium Times was also rejected by the NNPC, which claimed to be a private company despite still being government-owned.

“Following this dubious deal, Mele Kyari was controversially retained as NNPC GMD despite his incompetence. Tinubu then appointed his former boss at Mobil, turned ally, Pius Akinyelure, as NNPC Chairman, while he himself took on the role of Minister of Petroleum.

“In a move that defies economic logic, OVH, previously owned by NNPC Retail, has now acquired NNPC Retail. This absurd situation means that Wale Tinubu’s Oando now owns 49% of NNPC Retail. Moreover, Nigeria paid Wale Tinubu a significant sum to facilitate the Tinubu family’s acquisition of the national oil company.

“This represents a clear case of illogical business transactions and abuse of office by President Tinubu, who has prevented NNPC from becoming a public liability company as stipulated by the PIA.”

Atiku acknowledged that the NNPC and its leadership are under legislative investigation but expressed skepticism about the process’s credibility due to the vested interests of those conducting the investigation.

He explained that, “Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, who is heading the National Assembly panel, is a known supporter of Tinubu.

“He served as a commissioner under Tinubu in Lagos State and publicly calls him his godfather. Given that Tinubu is the Petroleum Minister, he should be held responsible for the sector’s issues. I doubt Bamidele will conduct a thorough investigation that might implicate his patron.”

Atiku also commented on the recent revelation that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project is under litigation.

According to him, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), a global network of investigative journalists, reported that the coastal highway project has been taken to court and revealed a close relationship between Tinubu’s son, Seyi, and Gilbert Chagoury, who was awarded the contract without competitive bidding.

Adding, “I had earlier claimed that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project was fraudulent, but the government denied it. Now, the matter is in court.

“ It is also concerning that Chagoury and Tinubu have a business relationship, and their children are business partners, as revealed by the OCCRP.

“This indicates a conflict of interest. It is no surprise that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Sokoto-Badagry Coastal Highway, which together will cost over $24 billion, were approved without competitive bidding. It seems that whatever Tinubu wants, he gets.”
