Sowore Condemns Cyber Attack on South African Infrastructure
Omoyele Sowore, a prominent Nigerian political activist, has strongly criticized the ongoing cyber attacks on South African internet infrastructure by a group of Nigerian netizens.
In a recent statement, Sowore expressed his disapproval of the actions, which have disrupted online transportation services for many Africans.
He described the attacks as “unacceptable” and urged for an immediate halt to the activity.
Sowore further emphasized the dangers of “Cyber Xenophobia,” equating it to mental and physical xenophobia, both of which he considers dangerously reprehensible.
He highlighted that such conduct could adversely impact millions of South Africans and Nigerians in the diaspora, stressing that the actions of a few should not lead to harm for many.
The cyber attacks appear to have been sparked by the misconduct of some South Africans, but Sowore maintained that this was not a justification for retaliatory cyber warfare.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
