The reconstruction was not just about capacity expansion or aesthetics. It was also about urban integration. The new Moulay Hassan Stadium includes commercial spaces, public squares, and green areas, making it a lively part of Rabat’s urban fabric. It’s designed to be more than a sports ground, it’s a place for daily social interaction, economic activity, and community engagement.
The GCCA urged the international community, including the United States and global human rights organizations, to intervene by investigating the atrocities and helping rebuild destroyed communities.
Nnamdi Kanu might have hurt a lot of other people and he should be held accountable for that, but if we leave that justice to Tinubu, are we not also using that as a basis for him to crush any dissenting opinion in Nigerian politics by equating them to Nnamdi Kanu. First, they will come for Nnamdi Kanu, but very soon they will come for the pregnant woman who reviewed a tomato paste online, and the only way to do that is to not concede any power to them and ask them to immediately conduct an open, democratic and fair public probe for Nnamdi Kanu in which the Nigerian masses and elected representatives across different interests groups across the country (including those in the South East) can contribute to the course of justice. THIS SHOULD BE OUR DEMANDS! This should be our demand. Not a delayed court trial that Tinubu and Wike can easily influence. If Nnamdi Kanu decides to work for Tinubu’s 2027 re-election today, the same people holding him now will easily release him to use him to subvert the electoral will of the Nigerian masses.
Government and its security agencies have discredited themselves and the trials and by extension have discredited the judiciary with the ways the Kanu case, which ordinarily shouldn’t be more than three years of trial, was handled and still being handled. In a civil rule, protest is legitimate, it’s the needed oxygen for democracy to grow. I wonder why police who are invited to secure the Free Kanu protesters say they cannot guarantee their security and safety but can guarantee the safety of anti-Kanu protesters. That’s an open indictment of bias and a self ridicule before the world.
To better understand how Kanu ended up in Nigeria and why he’s not supposed to face trial, you need to juxtapose it to what happened to Umaru Dikko in 1984 and its fallouts. Dikko’s kidnapping was, like this one of Kanu, a brazen act of attempted extraordinary rendition, which – by the way – is a grave State crime under the canons of international law that bind Nigeria as a bonafide member of comity or nations. When it happens, dire consequences must ensue and one of them is this: By the dint of such egregious misconduct, the complicit rogue State permanently loses its prosecutorial power over the victim of the rendition.
He called on all levels of government to urgently employ more teachers and improve the working conditions of those already in service, saying teachers are key to building a better nation.
The Federal Government’s inaction is deliberate, and Northern elders’ silence is complicity. Religious beliefs and political interests cannot justify ignoring this humanitarian crisis. Nigeria’s future hangs in the balance. We cannot afford to wait.
The charges were signed by the Director of Public Prosecutions of the Federation (DPPF), Mohammed Babadoko Abubakar. No date has yet been fixed for the arraignment of the defendants.
“You and your ilk have dragged me through unscrupulous abuse and gross violations of rights for decades without remorse,” he wrote, adding that the DSS had consistently acted “bullishly, illegally, and unlawfully—serving as a ready tool of oppression for dictatorial regimes.”
Intellectually lazy people like you will quickly resort to politically manipulative arguments about stability, but you’re just being foolish. If you think submitting yourself to a corrupt elite that fights each other everyday of their life over sharing formula is more stable, then you’re actually more foolish than Gehgeh.
The protests continued on Tuesday, with demonstrators setting fire to the parliament building, the headquarters of the Nepali Congress Party and the home of former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba. The homes of several other politicians have also been vandalised.
According to the records, the NPF spent a staggering N22.28 million on 85 cartons of Cream Crackers biscuits as part of “dry ration for personnel on discreet security operations.”
The question remains: how long will Nigerians endure humiliation? How long will we remain silent while the oppressors grow fat on our poverty? How long will we pretend that change will come through a process that has been rigged from the very beginning?
