Reggae has always been called "protest music" and associated with protest marches and emancipation so much so that Zimbabwe's independence in 1980 was attributed to the King of Reggae Bob Marley who was invited to play specially at the independence ceremony.

Here are some iconic reggae protest songs to keep you in the protest mood and to show solidarity with Nigerian youths.

“For the moment, the reality is that the on-going nationwide protests have jolted the country’s power elite, who appeared to have been taken unawares. The common denominators amongst the youths across the country are that: they have risen up to challenge the power elite; used the instrumentality of the internet to beat domestic intelligence and outsmart law enforcement officers and successfully mobilised not just the entire country in support of their goals, but the international community as well, thereby making it difficult for the protests to be suppressed by force in full view of a global viewing audience!”[b]
​
On October 8 2020, Nigeria’s youths, many of whom had been the target of an elite but rogue police unit known as the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), rose up after being mobilised through social media with the hashtag #ENDSARS to confront the police peacefully and force the authorities to disband the unit.
SARS operatives were known to frequently harass young people, search their phones and laptops without warrants and with threats to shoot them if they did not cooperate, detain innocent persons without conforming to even the standard operating procedure issued by their own service and in flagrant violations of the country’s Constitution, and extort money from their victims, killing some extra-judicially, confident that they would not be held accountable. They had been doing this for years until the massive protest of October 8 began.
It beggars belief that SARS would last this long, despite many celebrated violations, some of which had seen President Buhari himself intervening to compel the orderly room trial and prosecution of operatives. Many national and international human rights groups had also documented serial abuses by the unit, yet the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) appeared unable or unwilling to rein in its officers. Indeed, this situation suggested that the proceeds of the extortion by SARS officers was being shared with senior officers, hence the institutional weakness to sanction erring operatives. Within 48 hours of the outbreak of protests however, the current Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu disbanded the unit.
While the #ENDSARS protests began in Lagos, the country’s commercial hub and quickly spread to other parts of Nigeria, youths in the north of the country re-branded their own protests as #EndInsecurityNow, apparently to contextualise it (and rightly so), given the fact that the region suffers less from the menace of the SARS unit but is however confronted by the Boko Haram insurgency, banditry and cattle rustling[/b]

Asomugha Chuks02:
This story looks incomplete. No mention of what the son did that led to his arrest.

You are extremely Dumb with a capital D. So even if the boy committed the most heinous crime is the answer extra judicial killing? No wonder the police can do crazy stuff like this . Its because they have the backing of mad citizens like you. You are a disgrace to the human race.

In 2009, the world looked totally different from what obtains today. Shops, restaurants, hotels were open left right and centre. The thoughts of closing retail outlets seemed unthinkable.
Yet one man saw into the future saw a vision took his pen and paper and wrote down these words

" If Babylon(the government)lock up the shop, the store and supermarket dem
If you no farm, then you inna big problem".

Many thought this was simply impossible and did not take heed. . Infact the laughed at him just like they did to Noah until the 2020 Covid 19 induced lock down hit them like a barrage of shots and people in even in the so called developed countries were made to queue outside supermarkets for basics like tissue paper and eggs.

But Jah Mason aka Iyah Mason, Fyah Mason a musician and a farmer took heed of his own prophechy and built his own farm which is now flourishing in Jamaica. It is hard to say which occupation Jah Mason prefers as he pursues both with great passion.

You are very lucky. My case is a very pathetic one. I finished secondary school in 2002, gained admission in 2009 all to drop out at 400 level (final year). I figured everything was wrong with me but I was alone in the struggle cause by then, I've become an orphan. So I went to one C&S church and dumped myself there for 5 years. The entire church would pray for me and myself too would pray for myself althrough the 5 years until the unexpected was revealed. My uncle's wife, (my dad's immediate elder brother's wife) had collected my glory when I was a baby of 2 years!!! I got it back through the mercy of God a day to my 32nd birthday. Meaning she was with my glory for 30 good years! The 30 formative years of my life!! I've gotten it back now but no job, no degree, no money to do trade or go back to school. I am in my late 30s and useless.

You are not useless. You are only yet to discover what you can do in your present state.

Victornezzar:
Wow

OP just go back to the person who revealed this to you.... Tell her to trust you and do not leak the identity of the person to your Father

Exactly my take.
But don't go back to ask questions. Ignore this situation. Continue to do good to this person. They volunteered the information to you based on you being good to them
That is key. Keep on doing good to this person. Overwhelm them with good till their conscience can no longer take it that they have to divulge the whole story.

NORSYK:
A police brass told us that the biggest thieves in NPF are AIG Lamorde and CP Magu both served at different times as Chairman of EFCC and each of them worth over N200billion. He said they were the investigating officers that handcuffed, slapped and kicked late IGP Tafa Balogun for stealing N5billion.

Why refer to the former IGP as late? Tafa is still alive now........Na wa O

vikkimimi:
Shebi its still their people they're killing like this?
Because strangers can't come to preach and ask you to surrender weapons you use for self protection and you'll joyfully do it......
This fight is more political than we can imagine...Bokoharam can't just be defeated when the government don't want it to yet.

You have a point. No stranger Will tell you to drop your weapons and you will stupidly agree. So the villagers know who these people are.

They saw gun trucks and thought they were preachers? Hmmm. Ok . I hear you

“Indeed, African leaders and those non-African members of the Bank must resist the clearly patronising effort of the US, which from all intents and purposes, seeks to castrate a successful and performing African institution and leadership. Their goal is to make African States perpetually dependent on western funding, which often comes with strings attached and are used to undermine our collective development effort as a continent.”

On 11 January 1976 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Gen Murtala Muhammed of Nigeria, addressed his brother Heads of State at an Extraordinary Summit Meeting of the then Organisation of African Unity (OAU, now African Union-AU). His speech challenged US policy in Africa’s liberation struggle, exemplified by a letter written by President Gerald Ford of the US, opposing the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola-MPLA-from assuming leadership of post-colonial Angola after its Portuguese colonists had been militarily defeated by the liberation movements in that country. Specifically, Gen Muhammed submitted in a powerful exhortation that “Africa has come of Age.” That position swayed many African States into abandoning support for the US policy that had blacklisted the MPLA, whom they then gave their backing, gifting Agostinho Neto with the goodwill and diplomatic wherewithal he needed to subsequently become the first President of independent Angola. It was an unprecedented defeat for American foreign policy by the African continent.
On May 11 2020, Gaskiya.net had published an analysis calling on sections of the western media as well as humanitarian and development organisations to stop using Africans as icons of misery and misfortune. This was premised on verifiable and published facts showing that these phenomena are not exclusive to the African continent and therefore causes one to wonder why only Africans are used to depict such.We had argued that some sections of the western media choose “to focus on the negative issues on the African continent, continuously driving and sustaining a narrative of a continent at war with itself and unable to transform its socio-economic and political challenges into positive change and sustainable development.”
What we did not stress in that analysis is the fact that when Africa’s leaders choose to change the situation for good, as Murtala Muhammed did in 1976, their efforts are either derided as lacking substance, or described as failures by the organisations mentioned even where they are succeeding. At its extreme, such icons are physically eliminated. This happened to Patrice Lumumba, Murtala Muhammed and Thomas Sankara. Lumumba was killed on January 17 1961 in Lubumbashi (Belgium formally apologised in 2002 for its role in his extra-judicial killing), Muhammed was assassinated on February 13 1976 in an abortive coup in Lagos, while Sankara was brutally assassinated on October 15 1987 in Ouagadougu, Burkina Faso.
A major development in recent time has been the sterling achievements of the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the now subterranean extra-continental efforts to undermine its leadership—a move that now refocuses attention on our analysis cited above. For those not aware, the AfDB is a multilateral development finance institution, founded in 1964 and comprising of three entities: the African Development Bank, the African Development Fund and the Nigeria Trust Fund. It is headquartered in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire and has 81 member-States.
The AfDB has been led by Akinwunmi Adesina since September 1 2015.He has wrought changes that have consistently impacted the African continent positively. He expanded the Bank’s equity to the tune of USD115 billion (from its previous USD 93 billion), launched a USD3 billion social bond in March 2020 to help African countries fight Covid-19 and a USD10 billion crisis-response facility for African nations, to mention just some. Clearly, Akinwunmi Adesina is in some ways, a modern day version of Lumumba, Muhammed and Sankara combined, and clearly falls in the league of those African leaders trying to change the negative narrative on the continent. This is not going down well with some western nations, led by the US, whose Treasury Secretary allegedly condemned the report of the AfDB’s own internal ethics committee headed by Japan, that exonerated its President of allegations of favouritism.
Gaskiya.net argues that this behaviour is consistent with its analysis that suggested a systemic policy by the west, its media and institutions to continually depict Africans as incapable of solving their own problems. Where an African is instigating tremendous change, he or she is undermined and frustrated. The only difference in the Adesina witch-hunt is that Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland are surprisingly joining in this game!

Once again the crowd have hijacked the side comments and turned it into the main discussion.
Should Nigerians be celebrating the US refusal to return "Nigerian" money looted from Nigeria?
I do not see people asking for the US government to investigate the financial institutions who received the said money from Abacha and sanction them for handling stolen goods. .
Whether the current government will spend it wisely or not should be left to Nigerians to police. If the US is still dictating how to spend money stolen from Nigeria for which their financial institutions have received accrued interest, then we have not started in this country.

No country will ever develop with the amount of self hatred we have for ourselves. Nether will any outside help view us as serious.

That is why after all these decades our progress has been limited

If anything, we should set up a body now and give conditions of how we want the Federal government to spend the money and how the US should repatriate the money.
We can do it in batches so that we can monitor if the government is keeping to its side of the bargain with regards to the disbursement.
This is the kind of approach I believe we should be adopting and I expect other people to contribute on how the government can be held accountable to the disbursement. But we should not be telling the US to hold on to money that rightfully belongs to Nigerians. Mba

The Other Side of Africa During COVID-19. Made in Nigeria oxygen and ventilators and made in Kenya facemasks

Paradoxically, it is on record that in the same Nigeria, digital mechanical ventilators were being produced (by its Defence Industries Corporation and some of its Polytechnics—something never done before the COVID-19 outbreak), while its Air Force was already producing oxygen in commercial quantity (from its own Liquid Oxygen Plant that makes the product for use by its fighter pilots while on missions) and distributing them to hospitals across the country in the frontline of COVID-19 response. Yet this NMA official failed to use the opportunity he had to tell the world about these laudable efforts. Kenya, another African country, saw great innovation as enterprising young people started mass producing face masks to augment the scarcity being experienced in that country.
These are just two examples of the numerous approaches being taken, either by African Governments, research institutes or even the private sector, to respond to COVID-19 and attempt to limit its impact on Africa. However, if the African elite do not change their mindset of always begging for help or appealing for funds from Western or Asian nations, the average African is going to continue reveling in the belief that he or she is in one of the worst places on earth, a debatable narrative that is nevertheless repeatedly promoted by some global media.

Read this article The War Against Boko Haram - The Nigerian Air Force as the game changer

​By Gaskiya.net Defence Consultant

Despite what—with the benefit of hindsight—has turned out to be ill-advised attempts by the Boko Haram group to overrun a forward operating base of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) of the Lake Chad countries in Melete, Nigeria, in which some Nigerian officers and troops were killed defending their location, the status quo ante has remained firmly in favour of Nigerian and regional forces. Nigeria has not lost any territory and has continued to dominate both air and land theatres. In a two-part analysis, Gaskiya.net examines the reasons for the success gained to date by Nigeria’s counter-insurgency operations and underscores the critical role the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is playing in the success equation.

The way Nigeria had elected to confront the threat posed by “Group of the People of Sunnah for Preaching and Jihad,” commonly referred to as “Boko Haram” when the insurgency gained ground and notoriety was to deploy conventional methods of warfare against the adversary. As was known by many at the time, Boko Haram was not fighting in a conventional way, but hitting soft targets, abducting young boys, women and young girls and stealing food and livestock. The Nigerian military would later find out that its preferred response was a wrong approach.
The Boko Haram group would itself later change its strategy from a purely asymmetric warfare to fighting conventionally and capturing and holding territory. By that time, Nigerian authorities had revised their strategy, the arrowhead of which was the wholesale deployment of Special Forces. Doing so required increasing not just the number, but the proficiency of these forces. Special recruitment took place, with Nigeria training those enlisted at home, as well as sending some abroad. While Special Forces were being trained in huge numbers, Nigeria also simultaneously began re-fitting its armoured divisions.
The Nigerian Army has one of the most highly mechanised forces in Africa and prior to the Boko Haram insurgency, it had five divisions—the 1st Mechanised Division, 2nd Mechanised Division, 3rd Armoured Division, 82 Composite Division and the 81 Division. All these divisions, under the command of two-star Generals, deliver fighting men and women into battle in armoured infantry fighting vehicles. However, the initial phase of the insurgency (in which Boko Haram basically initiated and sustained asymmetric warfare), made an all-out mechanised assault ineffective.
However, with the change of strategy by the insurgents, when they began capturing and holding territory, the military created two more divisions—the 7th Division headquartered in the north-east, epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency, and the 6th Division, carved out of elements of the existing 82 Composite Division, and located in the oil rich Port Harcourt in the south.
That done, the Army proceeded to acquiring more advanced main battle tanks, particularly the T-72 variety which would turn out to be the queen of battle in the successful recapture of all territories previously captured and held by Boko Haram. The acquisition of heavy armour and several units of self-propelled artillery constituted the backbone of the asymmetric counter-offensives launched across multiple fronts by the newly trained Special Forces. This, while not exactly detailing the entire story relating to the success of her land forces, gives a snapshot of how Nigeria re-invented herself to attain the success she has notched up today.
The success of the Nigerian Army on the ground was not as sweet as the above analysis presented it. In fact, they suffered casualties, lost equipment and were often bogged down in difficult terrain spanning at least 60,000square kilometres. They needed help, which, in accordance with the motto of the Army (which is: Victory is from God Alone) did come from above but through the instrumentality of a sister service—the Nigerian Air Force.
