Nigerian activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has announced his participation in an October 1st protest against the hardships inflicted by the current administration.

In a tweet, Sowore highlighted issues such as unemployment, insecurity, hunger, and poverty, which he attributed to the Tinubu-led government.

Sowore expressed his firm belief in protests and revolts as legitimate tools for opposing anti-people policies.

He stated, “Protests or revolts are the only tools that a people have to voice their opposition to the anti-people policies of their government.

That right is enshrined in the gene everyone, and I have every intention to exercise that right on October 1st and beyond.”

Having spent five of the last six years in prison, detention, or confinement under treason charges from the previous administration, Sowore remains undeterred.

He said, “For those who wonder why I refuse to back down or cower in fear, given the threats to my freedom and my life – here is my reply: I committed myself to the cause of fighting for the emergence of a better Nigeria three decades ago. I remain committed to that ideal.”

Sowore reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for good governance and justice, stating that he will continue the struggle for the Nigerian people’s rights to a decent life.

He added, “As long as I have breath in my lungs, and as long as my fists can be raised – I will continue to fight for the right of the Nigerian people to a decent life.

I will continue to advocate for their rights to good governance and I will continue to demand justice for all.”

Sowore called on Nigerians to join the October 1st protest, emphasizing that the fight will continue until the government’s anti-people policies are addressed.

“We will not relent until our point-by-point demands are met,” he said, concluding with a rallying cry for justice and reform.

Former Super Eagles star Sunday Mba has encouraged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Chelsea when the summer transfer window opens.

Lookman is expected to leave Atalanta at the end of the season, but his next destination remains uncertain, with several top European clubs reportedly interested. Mba believes the Premier League side would be the perfect fit for the former Leicester City forward.

“If I were in charge of transfers at Chelsea, I would go all out for Lookman. He would be a great addition because of his playing style,” said Mba, who was part of Nigeria’s AFCON-winning squad in 2013.

“Lookman should make Stamford Bridge his next home. His pace, dribbling, creativity, and goal-scoring ability match exactly what Enzo Maresca wants in a forward. With all due respect, Chelsea’s current strikers struggle to offer even two of those qualities.”

At least four people lost their lives, and six others were injured on Tuesday after a tragic collapse at a highway construction site south of Seoul, South Korea.

The incident happened at around 9:49 a.m. local time in Anseong, about 70 km from the capital. Five massive concrete structures, each 50 meters long and meant to support a highway bridge, collapsed one after another while being lifted into place by a crane.

Ko Kyung-man, an Anseong fire official, confirmed that four people died, including two Chinese nationals. Among the six injured, five were critically hurt, with one of them also being a Chinese citizen.

“They were installing a deck on the bridge when the collapse happened. All ten workers were on the deck and fell from both sides,” Ko explained.

Following the incident, Acting President Choi Sang-mok ordered emergency responders to use all available resources to find any missing workers and prevent further danger.
