Protesters Block Gov. Fubara’s Convoy in Port Harcourt and Demand Action on Bad Governance
On Saturday, protesters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, took a stand against perceived poor governance by blocking Governor Siminilaye Fubara’s convoy.
The demonstrators, who have been rallying for three consecutive days, called for the governor to come down and address their concerns directly.
The protests, part of the #EndBadGovernance campaign that started on August 1, 2024, have seen participants actively voicing their frustration over issues such as hunger and mismanagement in the Niger Delta Region.
As the governor’s motorcade attempted to pass through, the crowd, waving green branches and chanting, made it clear that their demands for an end to bad governance were unwavering.
Despite the disruption, the governor’s convoy eventually managed to proceed, while the demonstrators continued their rally with renewed vigor.
The movement, centered around the Pleasure Park in Port Harcourt, has been marked by participants carrying placards and expressing their determination to remain until their demands are addressed.
The protests are not confined to Port Harcourt alone; similar demonstrations are also taking place in Ojota, Lagos, the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, and other states, reflecting a widespread call for governmental accountability and reform.
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has alerted Nigerians residing in flood-prone areas to relocate, following the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam into River Niger and River Benue.
The release, which began on September 18, 2024, poses flood risks to 11 states, including Adamawa, Kogi, Benue, and Bayelsa.
NIHSA urges individuals to clear drainages and avoid floodplains. This comes days after severe flooding in Borno killed over 30 people.
Israel admitted to initiating a “new era” of war after two consecutive days of explosive attacks targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
On Tuesday, pager explosions killed several, including children, and wounded over 2,800. A second wave on Wednesday, involving walkie-talkies and phones, killed at least 20 and injured 450.
One explosion occurred during a Hezbollah funeral, with reports suggesting Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit was heavily impacted. Israel believes the death toll is higher than officially reported.
In a recent Instagram post, Nigerian entertainment figure Soso Soberekon advised women to focus on men with a clear vision and long-term plans instead of being swayed by physical attributes.
He highlighted that a big penis won’t raise children and encouraged women to seek meaningful relationships with partners who can build a future.
Soberekon’s message stirred a range of reactions online, sparking a lively conversation in the comments.
