“Justice Has Finally Prevailed” — Rochas Okorocha Celebrates After Court Ruling Against Uzodimma

Former Imo State Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has expressed satisfaction with a reported Federal High Court judgment concerning the APC senatorial ticket for Imo West.

Reacting to the ruling, Okorocha praised the Nigerian judiciary, declaring that justice had finally prevailed. He also recalled a past controversy involving election results, alleging that someone who came fourth was elevated to the top position after more than 300 results were written.

Okorocha further remarked that the presidency was tired of what he described as “nonsense,” adding another political dimension to the ongoing dispute involving Governor Hope Uzodimma and the Imo West senatorial seat.

The judgment reportedly directs INEC to publish Okorocha’s name as the APC candidate and orders Uzodimma to stop presenting himself as the party’s candidate for the district.
Foreign Affairs › Israel: Netanyahu, Opposition Fall Short As Arab Parties Surge To Historic High by otrasane(op): 8:11pm On Oct 28

Israel Election Shock: Netanyahu And Opposition Fall Short As Arab Parties Surge To Historic High


Israel is facing a potentially prolonged political standoff after exit polls indicated that neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc nor the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot secured the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 120-member Knesset.

Early projections put Netanyahu’s bloc at approximately 50–52 seats, while Eisenkot’s opposition bloc is projected to win between 49 and 53 seats, leaving both sides short of the numbers required to form a government.

Meanwhile, Arab political alliances, the Joint List and Ra’am, are projected to win between 17 and 18 seats, potentially marking their strongest representation ever in Israel’s parliament.

Their projected gains could make them influential in the coalition negotiations ahead, although forming a workable government remains uncertain.

With no clear winner emerging from the exit polls, Israel could face weeks of political negotiations and potentially another election if rival parties fail to reach an agreement.

Will Netanyahu remain in power, or could Israel witness a major political shift?

NYSC › MTN Empowers Anambra NYSC Corp Members With Free Wi-fi Routers by otrasane(op): 1:02pm On Oct 20

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YoSdr0K3x0?si=RwIL1BM6vkzejwLu


Diaspora Digital Media (DDM TV), in collaboration with MTN, has launched a youth empowerment programme aimed at expanding digital access and promoting technology education among members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posted to Anambra State.

As part of the initiative, MTN provided free Wi-Fi routers to corps members staying at the NYSC orientation camp in Awka, Anambra State. The programme also creates an opportunity for the young graduates to acquire valuable digital skills through DDM Tech Academy.

To participate, corps members are required to enrol in one of the technology courses offered by DDM Tech Academy at a fee of ₦20,000 and pay ₦9,000 for a month's internet data subscription to activate their routers. While the routers are provided free of charge, the course enrolment supports technology training, and the data subscription provides internet access through MTN.

Importantly, the initiative is not a one-off programme. DDM TV and MTN intend to sustain the empowerment drive by extending it to successive batches of corps members arriving at the Anambra NYSC orientation camp in Awka, creating recurring opportunities for more young Nigerians to access internet connectivity and technology education.

Through this collaboration, DDM TV and MTN aim to bridge the digital divide, encourage technology adoption and equip young graduates with skills that can support their personal development and future career opportunities.

Politics › Stop Maitama Demolition Now! Amnesty Warns Wike Over Drainage Corridor by otrasane(op): 7:02pm On Oct 12

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp5z2qgkSdA?si=6MD6tfVDIshIl7Ty


Amnesty International Nigeria has called on FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and the Federal Capital Development Authority to halt planned demolition work at Plot 5334 in Maitama, Abuja, until concerns over the site’s reported drainage function, land allocation and ongoing legal processes are independently reviewed. The organisation warns that disturbing the site could obstruct stormwater flows and increase flood risks.
Amnesty says the plot is designated as a public utility corridor and reportedly contains underground stormwater and sewage infrastructure built between 2012 and 2014. It is raising concern over the reported allocation of the land for private real-estate development, and says an FCDA inspection reportedly confirmed the site was reserved for an infrastructure corridor.
The call comes amid litigation over the proposed development and an alternative dispute-resolution process before the FCT ADR Committee. Amnesty says a demolition notice dated 9 October 2026 targets protective boundary structures along the corridor. It argues that proceeding before the outstanding issues are resolved could compromise due process and expose nearby properties and infrastructure to avoidable risks.
The organisation is seeking an urgent legal and technical review, an independent assessment of the corridor’s drainage capacity, and disclosure of the relevant land-allocation records and planning approvals. It also wants development suspended until the risks to public safety, neighbouring properties and the environment have been assessed.
The FCT authorities’ response and any independent technical findings were not included in the reports reviewed. Amnesty’s statements about the corridor, allocation and potential impacts should therefore be attributed to the organisation rather than presented as independently established findings.

Foreign Affairs › France Shuts 500 Schools As Students Vow To Continue Protests Tuesday by otrasane(op): 8:55pm On Oct 05

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSXFG6nL4Wg?si=MPCjLLUb6N5iy-jm



France shuts up to 500 schools as student protests turn violent
Up to 500 high schools across France are expected to remain fully or partially closed on Monday after days of student protests and clashes with riot police, with the Education Ministry citing unmet safety conditions.

Scale of closures and damage
Education Minister Édouard Geffray said lessons would be “totally or partly suspended” in between 400 and 500 secondary schools because security conditions had not been fulfilled. Officials reported that 24 schools had been burned or ransacked since the protests began last week, while about 735 of the country’s roughly 3,700 high schools had been affected by violent incidents as of Friday. The ministry expects a similar number of schools to be disrupted on Monday, though it anticipates a gradual, partial resumption of classes in the coming days.

What students are demanding
The protests, which started in the Paris region and spread to cities including Montpellier, Nantes and Marseille, are driven by complaints over teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms and dilapidated school buildings. Demonstrators are calling for more teachers, better learning resources, improved conditions and urgent repairs to poorly maintained facilities, arguing that high teacher absences, overlong school days and run‑down infrastructure are undermining their education.

Violence, injuries and arrests
Authorities say the unrest has left at least 78 education workers injured, with hundreds of police and gendarmes also hurt in clashes. Police reported 1,747 arrests on Friday alone, bringing the total number of arrests since the protests began to more than 5,000, about 85 percent of whom are minors. The Education Ministry has alleged that far‑left activists have joined the student demonstrations and contributed to some violent incidents, raising safety concerns for students and school staff.

Government response and proposed measures
The government says it is taking steps to address problems affecting students and education workers, including keeping schools open where possible, improving facilities, reorganising school schedules and making the university admission system more transparent. Authorities are also fast‑tracking a proposed “vandal‑pays” law that would require people responsible for damaging public property to pay for repairs.

Next steps
Protest organisers have called for further demonstrations on Tuesday, accusing the government of failing to take concrete action to meet their demands. With hundreds of schools still affected and tensions remaining high, officials expect continued disruption but hope for a gradual return to normalcy as security conditions improve.

Politics › FG Unveils Plan For 24-hour Power Supply Zones In Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Others by otrasane(op): 7:18pm On Sep 30

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D0Rd5RLO_U?si=AoAlBNUXJuHjPJAV



The Federal Government has begun discussions with electricity distribution companies on plans to establish special energy zones that could provide round-the-clock power supply to homes, businesses and industries in major high-demand areas across Nigeria.

The proposed zones will initially cover three major corridors: the Lagos axis; the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano corridor; and the Enugu–Port Harcourt corridor. This means Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Enugu and Port Harcourt are among the locations being considered.

The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, held discussions with selected distribution companies as part of efforts to address challenges at the distribution end of the electricity value chain.

The Federal Government says the initiative is aimed at ensuring that electricity generated and transmitted through the national grid can reach consumers more efficiently. It is also expected to improve power supply to commercial and industrial clusters, unlock economic activity and strengthen the revenue and collection performance of DisCos.

The government says it will support infrastructure development in areas with high electricity demand, particularly locations where reliable power is critical to manufacturing, businesses and other productive activities.

However, the Federal Government has not announced a specific commencement date. It has also not disclosed the amount of electricity to be supplied to the proposed zones or the exact infrastructure projects required to deliver uninterrupted power.

The plan is therefore still at the discussion and preparation stage, with further engagements expected between the government and electricity distribution companies on the technical, commercial and operational requirements.

The revelation has sparked fresh questions about the political negotiations and behind-the-scenes efforts surrounding the opposition ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
