Foreign AffairsKremlin Website Goes Down As Russian TV Channels ‘hacked To Play Ukrainian Songs by Vixlot(op): 8:57pm On Feb 26, 2022
The Kremlin’s website went down and Russian TV channels were “hacked to play Ukrainian songs” following a string of reported cyberattacks as Vladimir Putin’s attack on the country continued.

Ukraine’s state telecommunications agency announced on Saturday that six Russian government websites, including the Kremlin’s, were down, according to The Kyiv Independent.

The agency also stated that the Russian media regulator’s website had gone down, and that hackers had got Russian TV channels to play the Ukrainian music.

Hacking collective Anonymous took to Twitter on Saturday morning and said that it was “at war with Russia. Stay tuned.”

The latest move comes after the collective’s Twitter account declared on Thursday that the group was “currently involved in operations against the Russian Federation.”

BAD TO THE BONE: Ukraine's defiant 'hero' Zelenskyy is giving Putin a run for his money-Foxnews

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's supporters have painted him as a hero just three days into Russia's invasion of Ukraine after he vowed to stay in Kyiv and defend his country.

His pledge came despite being Russian President Vladimir Putin's first target as he attempts to take over Ukraine's democratic government.


"The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride," the Ukrainian president said in a Saturday video posted to Twitter after refusing an American offer to evacuate the Ukrainian capital.

Russia's creep into Kyiv has sparked comparisons of Zelenskyy's leadership versus Putin's, as well as the leadership styles of other world authorities.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Zelenskyy, 44, was elected president in 2019, but before then, he was an actor on the Ukrainian TV show "Servant of the People." The married father of two played a high school teacher who woke up one morning to find out he had been elected president in a landslide after a social media video he made denouncing corruption went viral.

Social media helped boost Zelenskyy's presidential campaign before he was elected, and social media is currently helping him deliver updates on the situation in Ukraine and the various aid other countries are offering to help boost the country's defense against the Russian military.

The Ukrainian president's defiance and commitment to remain in Kyiv have inspired his supporters to laud him as a hero and "bada--" on social media. Photos posted online show Zelenskyy sporting a camouflage uniform and military gear.

Foreign AffairsChelsea Owner Roman Abramovich To Relinquish Stewardship Of Club by Vixlot(op): 8:24pm On Feb 26, 2022
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to relinquish stewardship of club

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has announced that he is handing stewardship of the club to trustees of its charitable foundation.

In a statement, the Russian billionaire said: "During my nearly 20-year ownership of Chelsea FC, I have always viewed my role as a custodian of the club, whose job it is ensuring that we are as successful as we can be today, as well as build for the future, while also playing a positive role in our communities.


"I have always taken decisions with the club's best interest at heart. I remain committed to these values. That is why I am today giving trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC.

"I believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the Club, players, staff, and fans."

The move comes in light of Russia's widely condemned invasion of Ukraine, ordered by President Vladimir Putin, with whom 55-year-old Mr Abramovich has had close ties.


Mr Abramovich, who has a net worth of more than $9.6bn according to the Forbes rich list, has been the owner of Chelsea since 2003 and overseen a period of unprecedented success at the west London club.

Since the takeover, a period of incredible transfer spending has helped Chelsea secure five Premier League titles, another five FA Cups, three League Cups, two Champions League crowns, and two Europa League trophies.

PoliticsLaw Professor Defends Pantami Professorial Status, Faults ASUU by Vixlot(op): 6:56am On Feb 21, 2022
A Professor of Industrial and Commercial Law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (San) , Joe Abugu, has lashed out at the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over its stance on the conferment of professorial status on the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Pantami, by the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO).

The National Executive Committee of ASUU had set aside the findings by its FUTO chapter which had endorsed the procedure for the conferment of the professorial rank.

In a position paper titled: ‘Of University Autonomy, Meddlesomeness of ASUU and its War Against Prof. Ibrahim Isa Pantami’, Abugu, a lecturer at the University of Lagos, argued that the local chapter of ASUU did an excellent job in reminding the public that FUTO duly advertised the vacant positions in credible national dailies, and when Pantami applied, the relevant bodies vetted his credentials and gave him the appointment on merit.

He argued further that all over the world and in Nigeria as well, there are no strict general rules guiding the procedure for professorial appointment that all universities in a country must obey, adding that each institutions of learning sets its own rules and that the Vice Chancellor also has certain discretionary powers to use when necessary.

Quoting relevant laws guiding the operations of trade unions like ASUU and universities like FUTO, the SAN said futher that t[b]here is even nowhere in the statute books where ASUU is mentioned as an important decision or opinion making body in the procedure of appointing university professors. [/b]

“By section 3 of the Federal Universities of Technology Act 1993, the University shall have power to inter alia institute professorships, readerships or associate professorships, lecture-ships, and other posts and offices and to make appointments thereto; and by section 6, the Council shall be the governing body of the University and shall be charged with the general control and superintendence of the policy, finances and property of the University’’.

It is clear, therefore, that ASUU has no power to institute or confer professorship. It is noteworthy that the University Council comprises two representatives of the congregation of teachers. Whilst the Congregation is the body of academics in the University, it is not synonymous with ASUU. It can be taken for granted though that through these representatives of Congregation, ASUU may have a voice in the conferment of Professorships but not ASUU as a Union.

PoliticsBuhari To Disband Buni-Led APC-Caretaker Committee by Vixlot(op): 6:39am On Feb 21, 2022
THIS week is a decisive one for the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Practically, the committee is faced with two options: Conduct the National Convention on February 26 or be disbanded by President Muhammadu Buhari, a source told Vanguard, yesterday.

As it is, the committee is in the middle of two powerful contending forces: Those who want the convention on February 26 and those against it. Both forces have governors elected on the platform of the party and some critical stakeholders as members.

Indeed, six days to the proposed national convention, aspirants jostling for various national positions have asked the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led CECPC, to postpone the exercise because the February 26 date is no longer feasible.

They spoke on the banner of ‘Forum of Aspirants for 2022 National Convention,’ the contestants in a letter signed by Mr. Maxwell Yakubu Gowon, an aspirant for National Youth Leader and chairman of all aspirants forum; and Mr. Mohammed Bala Mohammed, aspirant for National Secretary, who also doubles as Secretary for the Forum. They urged Governor Buni to “critically examine the various agitations in different states of the country”, adding that, “the feelers are not pleasant, and with the benefit of hindsight, it would indeed spell doom if the party goes ahead with the national convention under such circumstances.”

However, top party sources said President Buhari would disband the CECPC and put up another Convention Committee over alleged compromise of Governor Buni with some Governors, who are said to be pushing personal agenda ahead of 2023.

According to sources, the President is not comfortable with extending the tenure of the CECPC, against the backdrop that this had been done twice. The only option is send the Committee home if it cannot conduct the convention.


It would be recalled that the Buni-led Caretaker committee got the nod of the party’s hierarchy and the president to stay on for a six-month extended period in December, 2020 and also got a vote of confidence from the Progressive Governors’ Forum, the umbrella body of governors elected on the platform of the APC. As things stand, it will be difficult to hold the national convention on February 26.

Sources in the CECPC said the committee wants “the ruling party to get it right. There will be six bye-elections on February 26. We don’t want to disenfranchise members and leaders of the APC taking part in the bye-elections. The committee has fulfilled eight of the nine promises it made at inauguration. It has rescued and stabilised the party. It is building peace that attracted more lawmakers and governors raising the number of APC governors from 19 to 22 and giving the party two-third majority in the National Assembly. It did membership registration, which gave the party 41 million members, making it the largest party in Africa. The national convention is the last task before the CECPC and it wants to get it right first time by carrying all stakeholders along. Going to the convention with a divided front will not augur well.”

PoliticsArewa Youths Condemns Massacre Of Eight Northerners In Abia by Vixlot(op): 6:52pm On Feb 16, 2022
The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum( AYCF), has expressed great concern over the murder of Northerners resident in Abia State.

A statement issued by Yerima Shettima, it’s National President said, “As a group we are still deeply concerned about the murder of Northerners resident in Abia, who are doing legitimate business.”

He said the forum is deeply touched by the report of scores of others sustaining various degrees of injury and have now been hospitalized.

The forum, therefore, condemned in totality what it described as a “dastardly attack” on innocent citizens from the North trading to earn a living.

It welcomed the prompt response of security agencies and the Abia State Government for going after the killers and rushing the injured ones to the hospital.

The forum urged the Abia State Government to pursue its promise to bring the killers to book, in the spirit of national unity and stability.

The AYCF said it would be following closely the efforts of the Abia State Government to fulfil its promise of providing compensation for the families and survivors of the attack.

It warned that this should be the last bad news it would hear about innocent Northern traders, from not just Abia but the entire Southeast, in the spirit of national unity and stability.
