APC CLARIFIES PMB ABSENCE IN COAS BURIAL

IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, KNOW IT NOW by Md Awwal Yusuf:

For a President to be at any funeral or event outside the Presidential Villa, the event must have at least 48hs for intelligence operatives to do surveillance & clearance before the President can go based on the Security report.

In a case where the COAS & his team died yesterday & had to be buried today, you don't expect the President to go there without security clearance.

The min time of 48hs wasn't met. In insecurity parlance, funeral ceremonies are where politically exposed persons face more risks.

GEJ could attend Azazi’s burial because it wasn't done within 24 hours. Security issues and securing the President are not done by emotions or sentiments. There’re laid down procedures that must be followed.

This 48 hours security protocol further proven with the Jonathan – Yar'Adua's experience. It will be recalled that Jonathan too didn't attend Yar'Adua's funeral.

On May 6, 2010, former President Umaru Yar'Adua was buried, and Jonathan who succeeded him was absent at the funeral ceremony which held in Katsina.

Jonathan had been sworn in earlier same day, May 6, 2010, as the substantive president same day, and that could be taken as just less than 12 – 24 hours after he became the president.

ISRAEL VS PALESTINE, MINDSET OF PROTESTERS.

The Selective Protests Reveal Anti-Semitism When protestors only show up for certain victims and conflicts, what is the takeaway? The Palestinian terrorist political party HAMAS launched thousands of rockets into Israel in May 2021, seemingly ready to add a fourth war to its tally since it took over Gaza in 2007. In short order, the streets in major cities around the world were full of protesters raging about the hundreds of people who were killed by Israel’s retaliatory attacks on the HAMAS terrorist infrastructure.

(Photo: Bianca de Marchi/AFP/Getty Images ) Yet no one has taken to the streets regarding the multi-year ongoing war that has killed 250,000 people in impoverished Yemen . Thousands of children have been killed in the bloody campaign but the loss of life of these poor Muslim Arabs gathers neither tears nor ...

HOUSE OF REPS RECEIVES PROPOSAL TO CHANGE NIGERIA’S NAME TO UAR

HOUSE OF REPS RECEIVES PROPOSAL TO CHANGE NIGERIA’S NAME TO UAR A proposal to change Nigeria’s name to United African Republic has been received by the House of Representatives Special Committee on Constitution Review. The proposal was submitted by Adeleye Jokotoye, a tax consultant to the committee at the South West zonal public hearing in Lagos. According to Jokotoye, the name ‘Nigeria’ was imposed on the country in the colonial era, hence it should be changed. Jokotoye also explained that he chose ‘United Africa Republic’ because the country is made up of hundreds of ethnic groups that need to be United. He also suggested as an alternative, ‘United Alkebulan Republic’ (Alkebulan means ‘mother of mankind’).
