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.

Chimamanda Adichie Tells Women not to Rush Marriage but Choose Right

Famous Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has advised young women to be intentional when choosing who they marry.
Speaking at the Dream Count event, Adichie pointed out how much a life partner can influence a woman’s journey. She urged women not to rush into marriage out of pressure or desperation, adding that choosing the wrong person can affect one’s life for years.
She also encouraged women to find fulfilment in themselves, no matter their passion or path. “It’s really important for a woman to have her own thing, something that brings her fulfilment, no matter what it is,” Adichie said.
She continued, “Be careful who you choose. Sometimes, deep down, you know the person you’re with isn’t good for you, but because you’re eager to settle down, you ignore the signs. Don’t settle. The person you marry plays a huge role in how your life turns out. If you choose someone who is kind and supportive, it changes everything. There are good men out there.”

Amaechi Says Buhari Performed Better Than Tinubu

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.
