 Politics / Nigerian Woman Breaks Guinness World Record With 55-hour Interview Marathon by BuhariCarryGo: 8:13am On Apr 25 |
Nigerian social media entrepreneur Clara Chizoba Kronborg has broken the world record for the longest interviewing marathon with a time of 55 hours 24 seconds. The previous record was 37 hours 44 minutes by Rob Oliver (USA) in 2022. Clara, who hosts a talk show on YouTube, interviewed 90 people of various nationalities and occupations, including politicians, business owners, content creators, actors, real estate agents and many others, the Guinness World Records revealed on Wednesday. According to GWR, the conversations were centred around how each guest achieved success in their respective field. It noted that Clara grew up in relative poverty in Onitsha, Nigeria, which fuelled her fascination with the concept of success. Clara was quoted as saying: “This record attempt was about bringing together diverse individuals, sharing their inspiring narratives, and forging meaningful connections on a global scale. “I am committed to amplifying voices, particularly those of hardworking women, and using their stories to inspire others facing similar challenges.” Clara’s record attempt took place on a docked yacht in the Spanish city of Marbella, where she currently lives. In addition to the usually sunny harbour being struck by a heavy rainstorm, Clara faced several difficulties during her record attempt. She says her voice became “very hoarse and rusty” but she avoided losing it by drinking lots of water. A report by GWR said, “As with all ‘longest marathon’ record attempts, Clara accrued five minutes of rest time after each hour of interviewing; only during these breaks was she permitted to nap, change her clothes, or go to the bathroom. “So, to compensate for the large volume of water she was consuming, Clara wore adult diapers throughout her record attempt.” “Even worse, my period started the same day, and I was already having intense menstrual cramps,” she revealed. “At some point I was literally dripping pee and period stain, but I persevered and kept my eyes on the goal. To anyone who ever reads this, once you find your purpose, go after it with everything you’ve got.” Clara also reportedly suffered neck and back aches, which her team relieved with massages during her rest breaks. The report said she also struggled with sleepiness at multiple points but according to her, she gained a “battery recharge” every time she began interviewing a new guest, as she was eager to hear their story. Enduring all the hardships was worth it for Clara, who says it feels “surreal” to now hold this world record. “Recalling everything I went through physically, mentally, financially, emotionally – it feels so unreal,” she said. “I am extremely proud of this accomplishment because I know lives have been touched and changed. “This achievement is dedicated to all those who dare to dream and persist, regardless of the challenges they face.” Clara’s achievement comes a few days after fellow Nigerian, Tunde Onakoya, set a new Guinness World Record for the longest marathon chess. https://saharareporters.com/2024/04/24/nigerian-woman-breaks-guinness-world-record-55-hour-interview-marathon mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod fergie001 |
| Politics / Price Fixing: FCCPC To Go After Informal Sector by BuhariCarryGo: 7:51am On Apr 25 |
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Council
(FCCPC) has vowed to go after players in the informal
sector to guard against any form of extortion of
consumers.
The acting Executive Vice Chairman of the commission,
Alhaji Adamu Abdullahi, noted that recent interventions of
the federal government through its various agencies,
including FCCPC, had yielded results with reduction in the
prices of commodities.
He gave an instance with rice, which he said now sold
below N60,000.
Abdullahi, while featuring on NTA’s Good Morning Nigeria
show monitored by our correspondent, said as the statutory
agency of government in charge of protecting the rights of
consumers, FCCPC covered all sectors of the economy. He disclosed that the commission recently visited some markets across the country in an effort to compel marketers to bring down the prices of their food items. He also said that the commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Lagos Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA) to stop price fixing in major markets in the state. “All these efforts are already yielding results. Price of rice as of today has really come down. These are efforts made from all agencies, we cannot claim it is only from us. We know that the government has done a lot because the administration, despite the fact that it has removed subsidy, has also tried cushioning the effect of the subsidy. “We have seen the efforts that have been made also about the dollar rate and the fact that the dollar has now come down. “We now have the mouth and the will to go into supermarkets and markets too and talk about price and look at gouging. Gouging is when you use happenings in the market that normally should not affect prices. We go into those supermarkets, find out from their records the day they bought those goods and what was the foreign exchange? Why are you selling at that rate?” Adamu stated that the recent visit to supermarkets failing to comply with the directive to display price tags was in line with its commitment to ensure consumers are not short- changed. “You check an item and by the time you go to the counter to pay, the price on the shelf is different from what is on the system. That is misleading. “Our Act empowers us to seal up a supermarket, warehouse, any store once we found out that there has been unwholesome practice which in this case we have confirmed. “All we are trying to do, we are not trying to stop anybody from doing business, we are trying to make amends.” https://dailytrust.com/price-fixing-fccpc-to-go-after-informal-sector/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod fergie001 |

| Politics / 24-hour Curfew In Adamawa As Youths Go On The Rampage, Loot Government Grain sto by BuhariCarryGo: 1:41pm On Jul 30, 2023 |
n what appears as a repeat of the fallout of the #EndSARS protest of 2020, youths in Adamawa are currently looting government-owned grain reserves and other shops. The youths reportedly started the looting spree at the grain warehouse located at PZ Roundabout, a stone's throw away from the Yola International Airport. SaharaReporters learnt that virtually all the grain reserves on Numan Road and other strategic locations are being looted. Some of them have also started looting private stores. SaharaReporters can report that armed policemen are currently engaging the youths as they attempt to crack down on the rampage. There are also reported cases of live bullets being fired as the looting is said to have turned violent. One of the looters who spoke to our correspondent blamed the action on the hardship being experienced in the country following the removal of subsidy on premium motor spirit otherwise known as petrol. To manage the situation, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has declared a 24-hour curfew. A statement from the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Himwashi Wonosikou said, "The Governor of Adamawa State, the Rt Hon Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has declared a 24-hour curfew on the state, effective immediately Sunday, 30th July, 2023. "Governor Fintiri said the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital as they attack people with machetes and break into business premises and homes, carting away property. "With the curfew imposed, there will be no movement throughout the state. "Rt. Hon. Fintiri said only those on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew. "The Governor is appealing to citizens and residents of the state to comply with the directive, adding that any person found contravening the order would be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law." https://saharareporters.com/2023/07/30/breaking-24-hour-curfew-imposed-adamawa-youths-go-rampage-loot-government-grain-stores Mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod https://leadership.ng/just-in-fintiri-declares-24-hour-curfew-in-adamawa-as-residents-loot-warehouses/ |
| Politics / Ministerial List: Why Tinubu Delayed Kano Lagos, 9 Other States by BuhariCarryGo: 9:32am On Jul 28, 2023 |
Daily Trust reports that Tinubu who was inaugurated on May 29 had till today (Friday, July 28), to submit the list to the Senate in line with section 42(a) of the constitution, which states that “The nomination of any person to the office of a minister for confirmation by the Senate shall be done within sixty days after the date the president has taken the oath of office”. The delay by the president to unveil his cabinet had heightened expectations from Nigerians, who were keenly waiting for the list of ministers that would assist the president to deliver his Renewed Hope Agenda. Competent sources informed Daily Trust that high-wire politics, technocracy, party politics and compensation were among the key factors considered by the president in coming up with the list Those who made it to the released list included four former governors: David Umahi (Ebonyi); Nyesom Wike (Rivers); Mohammed Badaru (Jigawa), and Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna). Other nominees are: Abubakar Momoh (Edo State); Yusuf Maitama Tuggar (Bauchi); Ahmad Dangiwa (Katsina); Hannatu Musawa (Katsina); Uche Nnaji (Enugu); Betta Edu (Cross River); Doris Uzoka (Imo); Ekperikpe Ekpo (Akwa Ibom), Nkiru Onyejiocha (Abia), Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo ( Ondo), Stella Okotete (Delta), Uju Ohaneye (Anambra), Bello Mohammed Goronyo (Sokoto), Alake (Ekiti), Lateef Fagbemi (Kwara), Mohammed Idris (Niger), Edun (Ogun), Adebayo Adelabu (Oyo), Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim (Nasarawa), Pate (Bauchi), Joseph Utsev (Benue), Abubakar Kyari (Borno), John Enoh (Cross River), and Sani Abubakar Danladi (Taraba). Why Tinubu omitted Kano, Lagos, others Daily Trust checks revealed that the omission of Kano State in the 28-man list of ministerial nominees submitted to the National Assembly on Thursday by the president may not be unconnected to the uncertainty surrounding the former governor of the state, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, who it was gathered is the president’s favourite candidate from the North-West state. It was also gathered that the post-election romance between the president and presidential candidate of NNPP, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and the resignation of the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, which now creates a vacuum, are factors believed to be responsible for the non- inclusion of Kano in the released ministerial list. Days after Adamu resigned, it was gathered that the president was said to have tipped Ganduje to succeed him, which many believe might be the reason for his absence in the ministerial list forwarded to the National Assembly. A chieftain of the party in Kano had told Daily Trust last week that they had been informed that the former governor did not make the ministerial list. He said what they were told was that Ganduje would be given the opportunity to fill in the vacant position of the ruling party’s chairmanship. “For us, this is even better news because as the party chairman, Baba (Ganduje) will be directly involved with not just the party but also maintain his cordial relationship with the president,” he said. The permutations among party leaders in the state had however been zeroed on the fears that the recent overtures from the president to Kwankwaso, a former governor of the state, whose party now controls the state, might affect the slot(s) to be given to the state, with several of them insisting that this would negatively affect the party and would aggravate the discord in the state with the superiority battle that might follow. A source said beyond the ministerial position, Tinubu was also considering electoral value ahead of 2027. “There is also the issue of the election petition tribunal. Tinubu wants strong personalities in the states, not just Kano, so that if there would be a rerun, they would deliver votes for him.” The vice chairman of the APC in the state, Shehu Maigari told Daily Trust that the state has strong personalities that contributed immensely to the emergence of Tinubu as president. “We have people like Ahmed Tijjani Gwarzo, a former deputy governor of the state who has been with Asiwaju since their days in ACN and who I can boldly say apart from our leader (Ganduje), no one else contributed more to the success than him. We also have Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, a former Secretary to the State Government, and also Abdulrahman Dambazau, former Minister of Interior. These are just a few among qualified persons that should be considered,” he said. Working to harmonise interests in Lagos In Lagos, Daily Trust learnt that political struggles and the need to harmonise interests prevented it from being represented in the 28-member ministerial list even though Lagos-based politicians were well-represented. Both Dele Alake and Wale Edun have their political base in Lagos and are known foot soldiers of Tinubu, who served in his cabinet when he was the governor of the state. However, there are rumours that Tinubu, who has maintained a stronghold of the state since he became governor in 1999, is considering his former Chief of Staff, Babatunde Fashola; Lagos East Senator, Tokunbo Abiru and former Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode as potential nominees from the state. The National Youth leader of the party, Dayo Israel is also said to be eyeing a ministerial slot. Similarly, it was learnt that Tinubu is yet to settle for anybody in Bayelsa, owing to the struggle in the state. Political gladiators in the state are said to be scheming for the exalted position. Former President Goodluck Jonathan, recently, denied any involvement in nominating a ministerial nominee from the state. While Cross River had two nominees- APC national woman leader, Dr. Betty Edu, and Senator John Owan-Eno, the omission of the former governor, Ben Ayade is said to be unsettling politicians in the state. Slot between Lawan, Machina in Yobe In Yobe, our correspondent gathered the names of former Senate President Ahmad Lawan and Bashir Sheriff Machina are being mentioned. While Lawan had lost out to Tinubu during the primary election of the APC, he also had a legal battle with Machina over the Yobe North senatorial seat ticket. We’ll certainly have our preferred choice – Kebbi Elsewhere, officials in Kebbi State said they were certain the best would be chosen as minister to represent them. The Special Adviser to Governor Nasiru Idris on Political Affairs, Alhaji Kabiru Sani Giant said Kebbi had contributed immensely to the success of Mr. President in the presidential election. “He will surely appoint a minister from Kebbi State like he has done in other states but is yet to exhaust his list”, he said. On whether the face-off between Senator Adamu Aliero and former governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu might be responsible for why there is no ministerial nominee yet from Kebbi, Alhaji Giant said Aliero has no power to stop or influence the president on the choice of who is to be appointed as minister in Kebbi State. Before now, two former governors of the state, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and Sa’idu Nasamu Dakingari were being touted for the ministerial position in the state. It was believed that Bagudu by virtue of his position as former APC Governors Forum and being the chairman of the convention where Tinubu emerged the APC presidential flag bearer has a better chance without prejudice to Dakingari who was the director general for the governorship campaign in the state. Daily Trust gathered that unresolved permutations resulted in a delay in announcing a ministerial nominee from Gombe State by President Tinubu. Last minute politics ‘robbed’ Gombe in first list A chieftain of the APC in the state, who craves anonymity, said President Tinubu had earlier settled for his associate, a Kaduna-based businessman, Alhaji Umar Abdullahi. According to him, Abdullahi, popularly known as ‘Umaru Dan Adda,’ is a long-time associate of the president and participated in the 2023 presidential campaign that brought Tinubu to power. He was a one-time staff of the New Nigeria Development Company (NNDC) and served as board member for several parastatals after his retirement. However, another contender for the ministerial seat, Abubakar Inuwa Kari, the immediate past Chief of Staff to Governor Inuwa Yahaya and ally to President Tinubu, also pushed harder for the seat. He was one of the returning officers of Tinubu during the APC’s Presidential election. He was not reappointed as chief of staff by Governor Yahaya in anticipation of his likely nomination as a ministerial nominee. Also, a heavy-weight politician, Jamilu Isyaku Gwamna was contending to get the ministerial slot for Gombe to represent the state at the Federal Executive Council. Gwamna was a gubernatorial aspirant under the PDP, but returned to APC, after he lost the party’s ticket and contributed immensely towards the victory of the party. According to the source, the failure to reconcile and pick one from the three contenders made it impossible for a ministerial nominee from the state to be in the first batch unveiled by Senate President Godswill Akpabio yesterday. In Plateau, pundits have expressed surprise that immediate past governor, Simon Lalong, was not named among the list. They were equally surprised that Plateau was excluded from the first list even though Lalong served as Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign Director General. Daily Trust gathered that the state had earlier submitted three names, including Lalong, the current APC chairman in the state, Rufus Bature and Prof. Dakas C. Dakas. But pundits say the non-inclusion of Plateau on the list may not be unconnected with the pending suit instituted by Lalong and the APC. Senate to commence screening Monday – Spokesperson The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu (APC, Ekiti) said the screening of the ministerial nominees will commence on Monday. Briefing journalists after yesterday’s plenary, Adaramodu assured that the nominees would be thoroughly grilled. He said, “This time around, the Senate will examine the character, background and achievement of all nominees, and Nigerians will not be disappointed with the 10th Senate. “It is until they come forward with their resume because it won’t be a shadow screening where you have a good resume and you don’t have a good character. They must have good character,” he said. https://dailytrust.com/ministerial-list-why-tinubu-delayed-kano-lagos-9-other-states/ Mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |

| Politics / Women Seek 35% Female Ministerial Appointment by BuhariCarryGo: 5:51pm On Jul 20, 2023 |
The Nigerian Women Trust Fund (NWTF) has appealed to
President Bola Tinubu to deliver on his campaign action
plan of having at least 35 per cent of women on his
ministerial list.
Its Chief Executive Officer, Mufuliat Fijabi, made the call
during a zoom media conference organised by Women
Radio 91.7.
Fijabi expressed concerns over the President’s recent
appointment of special assistants and personal aides
where only 25 per cent and 15 per cent of women were
appointed respectively.
According to her, other African countries have made
considerable progress in women representation.
She, however, called on the new administration to uphold
the 35 per cent affirmative action.
Also, Amina Agbaje, National President of the
International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA),
explained the need for gender equity and transparency in
the president’s list.
Agbaje urged women groups to send a delegation to the
First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, to lobby for the
consideration of the 35 per cent quota system for women
on the ministerial list.
Ladi Bala, National President of the Nigerian Association
of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), emphasised that media
engagements were critical to keeping the advocacy for 35
per cent affirmative action for women to garner the
attention it deserves.
Adewummi Onanuga, the Deputy Chief Whip, House of
Representatives, expressed her confidence in Tinubu to
deliver on his promises.
Similarly, Jamila Babuba, APC Professional Women North
East Coordinator, expressed assurance that the president
would appoint at least 35 per cent women in his cabinet.
Chikas Kumle, a social justice advocate, highlighted the
critical role of women in an inclusive government, urging
President Tinubu to include at least 35 per cent of APC
women on his ministerial list.
Zainab Abdulrasheed, Programmes Officer, Women’s
Rights Advancement & Protection Alternative (WRAPA
Nigeria), highlighted the importance of inclusive advocacy
on behalf of marginalised and excluded voices in
implementing the 35 per cent affirmative action to
achieve Sustainable Development Goals.
Saka Azimazi, former Deputy Director, National Human
Rights Commission (NHRC), called for grassroots
advocacy and male support to achieve affirmative action
for women at all levels of government.
Enebi Opaluwa, Senior Research and Policy Analyst
BudgIT, decried the absence of women in policy-making
processes in Nigeria.
The APC campaign action plan for a better Nigeria gave
assurances to increase women’s participation to at least
35 per cent in all government positions.
No government since the Fourth Republic has achieved
the appointment of 35 per cent women as ministers.

| Politics / Wike Threatens To Cancel Atiku’s Campaign Venue In Rivers by BuhariCarryGo: 7:43am On Jan 21, 2023 |
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has threatened to cancel the approval for the use of Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt for the campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Wike said the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) in the state, Dr. Abiye Sekibo, had been accessing the venue a month before the February 11 date The governor explained that the approval, which was granted at no cost to the PCC, stated that the stadium wod be accessible to the council 48 hours to the rally. Wike, who disclosed these on Friday while speaking at the campaign flag-off rally of the Rivers State PDP Campaign Council in Oyigbo Local Government Area, said Sekibo has no right to take possession of the stadium one month before the date of the stipulated event. New NDDC Board Won’t Disappoint Niger Deltans – Minister Sowore: Tinubu slept at presidential candidates meeting, didn’t say a word Wike warned Sekibo not to provoke the Rivers State government by desperately wanting to take possession of the state-owned stadium weeks to the campaign, or else the approval would be cancelled. He said, “Let me also use this opportunity to warn Abiye Sekibo, we have made approval for your presidential candidate to use Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, February 11th, you have no right to begin to go to the stadium now. We cannot give you access to the stadium now. We can only give you access to the stadium two days to the occasion for you to prepare. “Nobody gave you one month. So, if you dare it again, to go and force yourself into the stadium, I will cancel the approval with immediate effect. Dare it again, I will cancel it. Heaven will not fall. In fact, if heaven falls now, we will be happy that it was in our time heaven came down. “I know you are not ready to do that rally. You are only looking for excuse. But you must do it. I know you are going to import people, no problems, go and import. We have given you the stadium.” Governor Wike also took a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State for blaming the crisis that greeted the campaign of its governorship candidate in Mile one Diobu, Port Harcourt on Thursday. The governor stressed that APC became a victim to the brewing crisis between the two factions in Rumuwoji community because they did not address its demand adequately. Governor Wike wondered why APC did not encounter crisis with their rallies when they used the Tipper Park in Etche Local Government and the IYM secretariat in Ikwerre LGA. The governor asked the opposition party in the state to stop complaining if it was not ready for the forthcoming general elections, saying the PDP in the state was fully prepared. https://dailytrust.com/wike-threatens-to-cancel-atikus-campaign-venue-in-rivers/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun |

| Politics / At Least 174 Dead After Crowd Crush At Indonesian Football Match (photos) by BuhariCarryGo: 8:50am On Oct 02, 2022 |
At least 174 people died and hundreds were injured in violence and a crowd crush after an Indonesian league football match, the deputy east Java governor has said. Supporters of the Javanese clubs and longtime rivals Arema and Persebaya Surabaya clashed after Arema were defeated 3-2 at the match in Malang Regency, East Java. Supporters from the losing side invaded the pitch and authorities fired teargas, leading to a crush and cases of suffocation, said East Java’s police chief, Nico Afinta. Thirty-four people died in the Kanjuruhan stadium and the rest while in hospital, and hundreds were injured, he said. Two police officers were among the dead. Many people were crushed and suffocated when they ran to one exit, Afinta said. “They went out to one point at the exit, then there was a buildup – in the process of accumulation there was shortness of breath, lack of oxygen.” A police spokesperson later put the death toll at 129 in one of the world’s deadliest sporting stadium disasters. A hospital director told local TV that one victim was aged five. Indonesia’s chief security minister, Mahfud MD, said the number of spectators exceeded the capacity of the Kanjuruhan stadium. He said in an Instagram post on Sunday that 42,000 tickets had been issued for a stadium that had a capacity to hold 38,000 people. The head of the Malang Regency health office, Wiyanto Wijoyo, said earlier that officials were still collating the numbers of injured. Police and soldiers on the stadium’s pitch after teargas was fired. Photograph: Yudha Prabowo/AP Victims “died of chaos, overcrowding, trampling and suffocation”, Wiyanto said, adding that the injured were referred to different local hospitals. Fighting reportedly started when the thousands of Arema fans rushed on to the field. Persebaya players immediately left it but several Arema players still on the field were also attacked. Local reports said up to 3,000 spectators had taken to the field, out of a crowd of 40,000. Police said 13 vehicles were damaged, including 10 police cars. Images captured from inside the stadium showed huge amounts of teargas and people clambering over fences. People were carrying injured spectators through the chaos. Video footage circulating on social media showed people shouting obscenities at police, who were holding riot shields. Torched vehicles, including a police truck, littered the streets outside the stadium on Sunday morning. A group of people carry a man in the stadium during the melee.

Will we return to banning supporters from attending the matches? That is what we will discuss.” Fan violence is an enduring problem in Indonesia, where deep rivalries have previously turned into deadly confrontations. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/02/indonesia-football-fans-killed-east-java-arema-malang mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun semid4lyfe dominique Briareos UjSizzle https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-63105945

| Nairaland / General / Ukraine War: Occupied Areas Call Urgent Vote To Join Russia by BuhariCarryGo: 7:24pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
Four areas of Ukraine under Moscow's control have announced plans
for urgent so-called referendums on joining Russia, which would
pave the way for Russian annexation.
Russia's invasion has stalled in recent months and Ukraine has
recaptured swathes of territory in the north-east.
Now Russian-backed officials in the east and south say they want
votes on joining Russia starting this week.
Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, after a vote drew international
condemnation.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Tuesday that "sham
'referendums' will not change anything".
The international community has never recognised the Crimea
annexation, but it has long been clear that Russia intends to rubber-
stamp its takeover of other occupied regions in the same way.
Annexing more Ukrainian territory would enable the Kremlin to claim
Russia itself was coming under attack from Nato weapons. Russia
launched its invasion on 24 February.
There is speculation that Russia may announce a mass mobilisation,
to beef up its forces in Ukraine. The Russian parliament has approved
tougher punishments for crimes such as desertion, damage to
military property and insubordination during mobilisation or combat
operations.
The deputy head of Russia's Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said
early on Tuesday that holding votes in the eastern regions of Donetsk
and Luhansk - also known as Donbas - would correct "historical
justice" and be irreversible: "After the amendments to the
constitution of our state, no future leader of Russia, no official, will be
able to reverse these decisions."
Soon afterwards the two breakaway Russian-backed authorities in
Donetsk and Luhansk said they would stage votes on 23-27
September. They were both recognised as independent by President
Vladimir Putin three days before Russian troops invaded Ukraine from
north, east and south.
Russian-installed officials in the southern region of Kherson said they
would also hold a vote, and a similar declaration came from Russian-
occupied areas of Zaporizhzhia. Russian state media said people
would be able to vote in person or remotely.
For months, Russian-installed authorities have tried to hold self-
styled referendums. There was never any hope of a free or fair vote,
and the continuing war has made it impractical even to try to annex
areas not fully under their control. Ukraine's counter-offensives have
made that harder still.
While most of Luhansk has been in Russian hands since July, on
Monday the Ukrainian leader in Luhansk announced that the army had
recaptured the village of Bilohorivka.
Much of Donetsk remains under Ukrainian control, although Russia
has seized the coastal strip along the Sea of Azov.
Although Russian forces quickly captured Kherson at the start of the
war, Ukrainian forces have regained some territory and Russian-
installed authorities have faced repeated attacks. Earlier attempts to
hold a vote there were postponed.
Much of Zaporizhzhia is still under Ukrainian control, including the
regional capital of the same name. Even though the 2014 vote in
Crimea was widely rejected as illegal, and boycotted by a large
number of residents, Russia's military were in control of the
peninsula.
Ukrainian forces are not far away from the city of Donetsk and on
Monday the Russian-backed mayor accused them of shelling the city,
killing at least 13 people.

Sri Lankans freed from Russian brutality in Ukraine
In depth: Russia's war in Ukraine
Any attempt to further annex sovereign Ukrainian territory is bound to
infuriate leaders in Kyiv and destroy any hope of a negotiated
solution.
Ukrainian defence ministry adviser Oleksiy Kopytko suggested the
vote plan was a "sign of hysteria" in Moscow. President Volodymyr
Zelensky said on Monday night "the occupiers are clearly in a panic".
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the votes were a "sham", while
France's Emmanuel Macron condemned the idea as "cynical" and a
"parody" that would obviously not be recognised by the international
community. Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said they had
no legitimacy and were "a further escalation in Putin's war".
Respected Russia analyst Tatiana Stanovaya saw the latest move as
an "unequivocal ultimatum" from Russia to Ukraine and the West. She
said that if they did not react appropriately Russia would fully
mobilise its armed forces for war. Annexation would give President
Putin the right, as he saw it, to use any weapons to protected territory
deemed by Moscow to be Russian.
There have been growing calls from some quarters in Russia for full
mobilisation of the armed forces. President Putin still describes the
invasion as a "special military operation".
In a sign that the Kremlin was preparing to back the referendums,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that from the start of the
operation Russia had wanted residents to have the decision: "The
whole current situation confirms that they want to be masters of their fate." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62965998 mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun semid4lyfe dominique Briareos UjSizzle |

The police in Ebonyi State on Monday arraigned a 40- year-old-man, Uche Awegbe, before an Abakaliki Magistrate’s Court for allegedly threatening to kill the state governor, David Umahi . The police said Mr Awegbe had shot two residents of the state dead and caused communal crises in Effium, a crisis prone-community in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of the state. The defendant was also charged with unlawful possession of guns and machete. The police prosecutor, Obi Eberechukwu, told the court that the defendant threatened Governor Umahi’s life on 19 August by sending death threat text messages to him. The defendant was also charged with promoting inter-communal war in Effium community in 2021which lead to the death of some residents. The charge against Mr Awegbe read: “That you, Uche Awegbe, on the 19th day of August 2022 at Number 9, Umuoji Street, Abakaliki, did threaten the life of Engr. David Umahi, the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State by sending death threat message to him through your MTN phone number 09039946XXX and thereby committed offence punishable under Section 12 (1) (b) of Ebonyi State Internal Security Enforcement and Related Matters Law, Cap 55, Volume 2 Laws of Ebonyi State of Nigeria, 2009. Another of the charge read: “That you, Uche Awegbe, and others in charge numbers MAB/69c/2021,MAB/838c/ 2021 and MAB/891c/2021 on the 5th day of November 2021 at Effium community, Ohaukwu Local Government Area within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did go armed with guns and machetes in public without lawful occasion in such a manner as to cause terror and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 80 of the Criminal Code, Cap 33, Volume 1 Laws of Ebonyi State of Nigeria, 2009.” The court did not take the defendant’s plea since the offences allegedly committed are capital. The Magistrate, Linda Ogbodo, ordered Mr Awegbe remanded at the Correctional Centre and adjourned the case till October 10. She directed the prosecutor to transfer the original case file, evidence, and all documents in the matter to the Department of Public Prosecution in the state for legal advice. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/555070-police-arraign-man-for-allegedly-threatening-to-kill-nigerian-governor.html mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun semid4lyfe dominique Briareos UjSizzle |
| Foreign Affairs / South Africans Demand Return Of ‘world’s Largest Diamond’ On Queen’s Sceptre by BuhariCarryGo: 11:33am On Sep 17, 2022 |
South Africans are demanding the world’s largest known clear-cut diamond on the late Queen Elizabeth’s sceptre following her death. The Great Star of Africa or Cullinan l is the largest known clear-cut diamond in the world which was mined in South Africa in 1905 and was given to the British Royal Family as a gift. It was given to the royal family when South Africa was under British rule, Metro News reports. Recall that some Africans expressed contempt when the Queen died over her alleged role in the colonisation of the African continent. This has led to the growing calls in South Africa for the diamond to be returned as they believe it belongs to them. In South Africa, there has been a debate in the media about who owns the Great Star of Africa as well as other precious stones that were mined in the country. One of the views held in the country was that of the African Transformation Movement (ATM) Member of Parliament (MP) Vuyo Zungula who holds that South Africa should cut its Commonwealth ties and have a new constitution. “SA should now leave the Commonwealth, demand reparations for all the harm done by Britain, draft a new constitution based on the will of the people of SA not the British Magna Carta, and demand the return of all the gold, diamonds stolen by Britain” he said, via timeslive.co.za. Similarly former African National Congress (ANC) KwaZulu-Natal provincial secretary Thanduxolo Sabelo said: “The minerals of our country and other countries continue to benefit Britain at the expense of our people. “We remain in deep, shameful poverty, we remain with mass unemployment and rising levels of crime due to the oppression and devastation caused by her and her forefathers. The Cullinan Diamond must be returned to SA with immediate effect.” The report reveals that more than 6,000 people have signed a petition calling for the Great Star of Africa to be returned and put in a South African museum. However, like the majority of African leaders, South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa offered his condolences following the death of the Queen but many have said instead he should have called for the diamond to be returned. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/09/south-africans-demand-return-of-worlds-largest-diamond-on-queens-sceptre/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun semid4lyfe dominique Briareos UjSizzle 3 Likes |
| Politics / Southern, Middle Belt Leaders Reject Okowa As PDP VP Candidate by BuhariCarryGo: 4:57pm On Jun 17, 2022 |
The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders’ Forum (SMBLF) have rejected Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate to presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar. The foremost group, in a statement to newsmen in Warri, declared Okowa as a “betrayer of the trust reposed on him” for accepting the vice presidency nomination. The statement which berated the actions of the Delta Governor was signed by Chief (Dr.) Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, SMBLF/Pan Niger Delta Forum; Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Afenifere; Dr. Dru Bitrus, Middle Belt Forum and Ambassador (Prof.) George Obiozor, Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide respectively. The Southern leaders said it was particularly “disappointing” giving the fact that Gov. Okowa is currently the chairman of the South- South Governors’ Forum, as well as a native of Owa-Alero, an Igbo speaking area in the state. The statement recalled that on May 11, 2021, the 17 southern governors, comprising those of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and PDP, under the Chairmanship of Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, reached a decision that the presidency should rotate to the south on expiration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure, for “fairness, equity and justice”. Continuing it said: “And this very Governor Okowa was the host of that historic meeting. The Southern Governors later met again in Lagos, on July 5, where they reaffirmed their decision, and again in Enugu, on September 16, to restate the call that the presidency should rotate to the south in 2023. “It is essential to underline that the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders’ Forum (SMBLF), applauded the meeting of the governors, given its significant representation and the gravity of the outcome; we followed up and issued a similar statement after our meeting in Abuja on the 30th of May 2021, asking that the presidency should rotate to the south. “And went further, on several other occasions, to caution political stakeholders from the South, including serving and former governors, ministers, senators, etcetera, not to, on any account, allow themselves to be appointed or nominated as running mate to any presidential candidate, if the presidency is not zoned to the south and that we will work against such person or persons. “It is, therefore, most unfortunate that the Governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa who should know better, accepted his appointment as running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. “We do not have anything personal against Ifeanyi Okowo but his action is treacherous and tantamount to a despicable pawning of the political future of the people of Southern https://thenationonlineng.net/southern-middle-belt-leaders-reject-okowa-as-pdp-vp-candidate/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun seunmsg |

| Politics / Private Jets: 30 Of 65 Verified Planes To Pay Nigeria Customs Duties – Official by BuhariCarryGo: 3:30pm On Aug 02, 2021 |
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says 30 out of 65 private airplanes verified so far are liable to pay required duties to the federal government. The Customs Public Relations Officer, Joseph Attah, made this known while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Sunday. Mr Attah explained that some of these planes came into the country by Temporary Importation agreement which allows them to bring the jets without payment because it was secured by a bond. He said that thereafter many of them failed to turn up to pay on the expiration of the agreement which necessitated the verification. He stated that with this exercise, there would be more revenue to be accrued to the federal government because those who failed to adhere to the agreement would be made to pay the duties. The customs’ spokesperson said the verification had also given an opportunity to the service to clearly differentiate those planes in the country that were on commercial operations from those owned and used for private purposes. Mr Attah restated that the verification was not meant to embarrass anybody but to ensure that the right or required duties were paid to the government by the owners of these private planes. He further disclosed that with the impact of the first two weeks extension, the service had again given another two weeks which commenced from Monday, July 26, to Friday, August 6. “Considering the rising number of compliance and the number of jets that are liable for payment of duties as well as indications by those people to do so, the Comptroller-General has again graciously given them another two weeks.https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/476901-private-jets-30-of-65-verified-planes-to-pay-nigeria-customs-duties-official.html mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun |
