Speaking on the sidelines of the meeting hosted by the NANS President-Elect, Comrade Danielson Bamidele, GCNS.

He said "I hosted all those that contested with me in the last national convention where I was elected as the National President of the largest black students movement in the world, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).

It was indeed a refreshing moment for us and we took the opportunity to discuss how best to make the Repositioning, Restructuring and Reformation of our dear organization possible."

They all contributed their ideas and concept towards the betterment and progress of this country. Very importantly, my big brother, Comr. Prince Miaphen facilitated the meeting, invited everyone without exception. Most turned up, two sent representatives while one shunned the invitation for reasons best known to him. But the entirety reached a compromise to make NANS great again, regain it's image and command respect before both the government and the general public.

While I thank them for putting first the interest of our dear organization, I urge the general public to note that NANS is ready to take it's right of place and make meaningful contributions to our democratic strides.

Never again shall we be divided, never again shall we return to the dungeon of indiscipline and retrogression.

VIVA ALUTA, VIVA AFRICA!!!

Its a lie

Yoi can see the source there.

Until u have a more credible information this is what we know.

It's a sad development though.

“Any president whose term of office expires who takes up arms against an incoming president whose term should begin according to law, would be regarded by the international community as a rebel leader,” Barrow warned.

The authorities meanwhile shut down two radio stations, the Gambia Press Union said.

Teranga FM is considered critical of the Jammeh government and has been closed down twice before.

Hilltop radio station was also ordered to close by the National Intelligence Agency, which gave no reason for the measure, the union said.

The Gambia Press Union expressed concern that this could signal the beginning of a crackdown on independent media amid the country’s escalating political crisis.

After more than two decades in power, Jammeh, 51, lost the election to Barrow, a former real estate agent who was little known even in Gambia before he announced his candidacy.

After initially accepting the result, Jammeh later rejected it, alleging irregularities, and filed a petition to the Supreme Court which is due to be reviewed on January 10.

Earlier this month ECOWAS said it would stage a military intervention, led by neighbouring Senegal, if Jammeh failed to step down and set a deadline of January 19.

ECOWAS and the international bodies are yet to respond to the death of Barrow.

Banjul – Gambia’s president-elect Adama Barrow who vowed to take office on January 19 despite the refusal of outgoing President Yahya Jammeh to give up power has been killed by unknown assailants.

The assailants overpowered the security guards of Mr. Barrow, leaving two of the guards dead and other six injured from gunshots.

President Yahya Jammeh, the ‘prime suspect’ has denied any involvement in the incident.

The assassination of Mr. Barrow comes few days after he referred to the country’s constitution that a court action taken by Jammeh cannot prevent the winner of the poll from assuming office as mandated by the constitution.

He was responding to Jammeh, who said Saturday that a decision of the Economic Community of West African States to send troops to ensure a peaceful transition of power was a “declaration of war” and called for a fresh poll.

“It should be crystal clear that filing an election petition is the private matter of a loser in an election. It does not prevent mandatory constitutional processes from taking place,” Barrow said.

ECOWAS, the African Union and the United Nations could only intervene if “the two presidents fail to do, with impeccable thoroughness, what the constitution of the republic demands,” he said.

He outlasted 10 US presidents, brought free medical care to a small island nation, suppressed dissidents and infuriated his opponents at home and abroad after overthrowing a dictatorship in 1959.

Fidel Castro, Cuba's larger-than-life former leader, has died aged 90, according to Cuba's state-run television. The news was confirmed by his brother, current President Raul Castro, on Saturday.

Having passed on the leadership of Cuba's single-party state to Raul in 2008, Fidel played a ceremonial role during his twilight years, showing up to meet foreign leaders in a track suit, rather than his trademark military fatigues, and writing treatises on global warming and economic inequality.

Friends and foes agree he was one of the most iconic and shrewd politicians of the 20th century; a consummate survivor and wily tactician.

"He was reasonable, not domineering, as one might expect," Wayne Smith, a former US ambassador to Cuba who knew Fidel, told Al Jazeera.

"He would listen to you."

'Rich kid radical'

The son of a wealthy landowner, Castro was born in 1926 and studied law before pulling together a band of fellow revolutionaries with the aim of overthrowing Fulgencio Batista, Cuba's dictator who had extensive links to the American mafia and other business interests.

Smith believes that the political awakening of Castro, who benefited personally from a near-feudal system of governance on the island, was "a similar trajectory to a rich kid radical".

Although intellectually gifted, Castro had more interest in sports [particularly baseball] than formal school as a child.

"Fidel had a strong will. He was convinced that after Cuba got its independence [from Spain], his home country had been forced into a new dependence with the US," one of Castro's biographers, Volker Skierka, told Al Jazeera.

As a child he "had a good relationship with his mother" but spent much of his life fighting his father's bourgeois influence, Skierka said.

His early political convictions, formed while studying at the University of Havana, seemed steeped in progressive nationalism, rather than traditional Marxism, according to his biographers.


Cuba's Unfinished Spaces - Witness


Captured in 1953 for assaulting a military base, Castro was sentenced to 15 years in jail. He defended himself during his trial, announcing that "history will absolve me". He was later released as part of a political amnesty.

Writing off Castro would be no easy feat.

"The first time his photo appeared in the New York Times was in 1956 to report that he was killed," Anthony R DePalma, a former New York Times reporter in Cuba and author of The Man Who Invented Fidel, told Al Jazeera.

Newspaper editors around the world would come to know his beard and cigars following the revolution's victory.

'Bearded, youthful figure'

After sailing back to Cuba from Mexico with a group of would-be revolutionaries in 1956, Castro, Che Guevara and other revolutionaries began launching attacks on military bases and transportation infrastructure, in a bid to end what they considered to be a corrupt and exploitative dictatorship.

"His bearded, youthful figure has become a symbol of the continent's rejection of brutality and lying and shoddiness," the UK's Guardian newspaper reported in 1959. "The new democracy [in Latin America] owes its existence largely to the courage of young idealists."

Of the words used to describe the departed leader, "democrat" isn't usually one of them. Some believe the young Castro always harboured authoritarian tendencies - the desire to reshape history with one's own hands does not usually meld well with consensus, compromise and relinquishing power. Others think he was pushed towards the role of the strongman by external pressures and the need to defend the revolution from outside attacks.

The lingering Naira-Yuan swap deal is set to be achieved as part of strategies to reduce the huge dollar demand and pressure on the local currency.

Nigerian officials and those from China are currently meeting to fine tune the deal, CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele, said.

Emefiele gave the indication at the ongoing International Monetary Fund/World Bank Group yearly meetings in Washington DC.

According to him, there is a lot of “networking meetings going on, and I can assure you that meetings are going on with some of our partners, particularly, China.”

He said there would be positive outcome and noted that some of the meetings included the Managing Director of IMF as well as the World Bank Group, in an effort to achieve some of the objectives.

“I believe in the course of time, we would achieve it. Nigeria happens to be one of the foremost countries in the world that adopted the Remimbi as a reserve currency.

“We would work together with China, to ensure that we also get our fair share of the benefit from this arrangement,” he said.

The deal was meant to assist in easing the pressure on Nigeria’s foreign exchange, foreign exchange reserve which has been declining rapidly. From a peak of over $50 billion during former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s era a few years ago, when crude oil was selling at over $100 per barrel, to the present low of about $25 b as oil price hovers around $50 per barrel.

China has Yuan swap arrangements with 28 countries worldwide, including financially sound nations like the Kingdom of Great Britain and Australia.

Basically, the Naira/Yuan currency swap would allow Nigeria borrow Yuan and lend naira for purchases from China by simply short circuiting the process of converting the Nigerian currency to dollar before further conversion of the dollar to Yuan.

Some Nigerians trapped in Libya have been deported to Nigeria

– They were deported with the help of the International Office for Migration (IOM)

– The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Nigerian Police Force, the Air Force and the IOM were on ground to receive the deportees.

The Nation reports that no fewer that 154 Nigerians were on Monday, October 10, deported from Libya.

According to a source, the return of the deportees, was facilitated by the assistance of the International Office for Migration (IOM) who are responsible for the voluntary return of many Nigerians trapped in the crisis that has immersed Libya for some years now.

Some of the deportees also include those trying to make their way to Europe excluding those trapped in the crisis.

Immigration sources said that they arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos at about 4.00 pm.

It was reported that the deportees arrived on board a Libyan airline aircraft, an airbus A330-200 with registration number 5A-LAT.

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Nigerian Police Force, the Air Force and the IOM were on ground to receive them.

Out of the returnees were three minors, nine pregnant women, and three others with medical challenges which in total, comprised of 96 women and 58 men.

Also on board was an IOM doctor, Abusrewi Zakariya, to provide first aid to the sick ones.

The head of IOM in Lagos, Nahashon Maina Thuo, said this was the fourth time this year that the organisation would assist Nigerians who volunteered to return home after they were stranded in Libya.

Meanwhile, barely six months ago, 172 Nigerians have been repatriated from Libya, among whom were a 12-year-old boy and five women.

They were said to be on their way to Europe from Libya when they were apprehended by the Libyan government and detained.

They were repatriated with the help of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in close cooperation with the Libyan authorities and Nigeria’s embassy in Tripoli.

A former Governor of Akwa Ibom and Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio (PDP/Akwa Ibom North-West), has condemned social media reports linking him with bribery allegations against Supreme Court judges.

The Department of State Services (DSS), over the weekend arrested seven judges, including two justices of the Supreme Court, in what it said was multiple sting operations across the country.

The DSS accused the judges of bribery and corruption.

Reacting to the reports, Mr. Akpabio said it was “spurious, baseless and false”.

The report, which was published on the social media, claimed that Akpabio bribed Supreme Court judges to swing the 2015 Akwa Ibom governorship election petition in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate and incumbent governor, Udom Emmanuel.

It would be recalled that the All Progressives Congress in the state, earlier this year, asked President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the Supreme Court judgment which declared Mr. Emmanuel winner of the governorship election in the state after the Appeal Court sacked him from office.

“We wish to state most emphatically that Senator Akpabio is in no way involved in the alleged bribery of Supreme Court judges and so has no reason whatsoever to be scared over the arrest of the Judges”, the former governor said yesterday through a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Anietie Ekong.

The senator, who accused the APC in the state of sponsoring the story against him, said he never had any contact with any judge with the intention to offer bribe, adding that he was exploring the option of going to court to protect his reputation.

Senator Akpabio said it was sad for the APC in Akwa Ibom to celebrate the ordeals of one of the arrested judges of the Supreme Court, Justice Inyang Okoro, who is an indigene of the state, instead of the party to wait for the DSS to conclude its investigations.

He said “in the last few years” the only time he had contact with Supreme Court justices was in December last year when the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, in which he is the vice chairman, visited the Chief Justice of the Federation and other judges of the apex court.

“Senator Akpabio, as a democrat, believes in the sanctity of the electoral process and so has not been involved in bribing any Judge as it is not in his character to do so. His election as a Senator which was seen as a no contest after a sterling performance as Governor of Akwa Ibom State was widely held as free and fair”, the statement said.

“Senator Akpabio like many other Nigerians learnt of the news of the arrest of the Judges/ Justices on Saturday while he was in Irrua, Edo State when he along with the Senate President and other Senators attended the wedding of the daughter of their colleague, Senator Clifford Ordia.

“It is most disingenuous and reprehensible for Akwa Ibom State APC to attempt to link Senator Akpabio to something he has no knowledge of and impute he was gripped with fear when he was busy celebrating with his colleague on the marriage of his daughter in Irrua, Esan Central Local Government of Edo State.

“We condemn it in very strong terms and advice those whose stock in trade and preoccupation is to link Senator Akpabio to every ignominious scheme to desist from such pull-him-down syndrome”.

Yes Google duo is the latest and most efficient app for video calls and even works just fine on slower networks...

Try it and confirm

Google has introduced two all-new apps – Allo and Duo at its I/O 2016 event. While Allo is a pretty smart messaging app, Duo is designed to be a cool video calling app.

#1. Allo has been developed to be an instant messaging app which is going to be available for both iOS and Android.

#2. Allo will feature an in-built Google Assistant.

#3. The “Google Assistant” integration will allow Allo users to search for flight, events, theatres, hotels and more from the app itself without needing to quit the messaging app.

Booked

Hahaha please somebody help me with that picture... Nairalanders and booking land for fp...

Even a street light that was obviously installed with taxpayers money seem to have been destroyed alongside the demolition...

The trees and shribs in the market are even intact... despite the occupants being there for their business...

Lets see what they will do with this place...

If u will not see one oga at the top erecting a shopping complex there with our stolen wealth in the nearest future to fleece occupants or u will see the place deserted or even turned to a refuse dump...

Please lets comment and voice our opinions...

I hope Lala will do the needful...

More pic details yet

More pic details...

Findings have revealed why and how the Popular Canopy Technology Market, Wuse Zone 3 behind Intercontinental Plaza.

According to one of the occupants of the demolished market (who pleaded anonymity).

The market has about 5,000 shops.

They pay 70,000 Naira rent to owners of the shops, while AMAC collects 5,000 Naira per shop. The shops measure about 2metres by 2metres. 5,000 shops * 5,000Naira generates a whooping 25, 000, 000 Naira for AMAC yearly.

The market provides jobs for over 10,000 Nigerians in the areas of ICT hardware and software, office consumables and furniture, electrical and electronics sales n repairs, food, clothes, etc.

He stated that reasons for the demolition may not be unconnected with the disunity amongst occupants of the market and their union, and that a land behind the market was sold recently to someone highly placed so maybe the person wanted them out.

AMAC on their part has complained that some of auch markets where not supposed to exist in the first place, as they as situated in spaces alloted or designated to be gardens and parks.

My opinion however is as follows: With the current economic recession, joblessness, increase in crime rate, hunger, poverty and starvation arife in Nigeria...should we focus on further impoverishing ourselves? Destroying people means of livelihood, properties destroyed are worth billions, hopes and dreams shattered, school fees of young Nigerians and utility bills are paid from tjis market.

Is there no other way for our government to sanitise our "Parks" and "Gardens" rather than demolish and destroy without compensation and/or provision of alternatives? While at the same time losing the revenue that is being generated from the fees, levies and taxes paid in these small markets? Lets comment objectively.

Thanks.
