Founder and Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, Pastor Sam Adeyemi, has commemorated with youths on the first anniversary of the alleged shooting of protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, which occurred during October 2020 #EndSARS protests.

The clergy, via his Instagram page on Wednesday, urged Nigerian youths to keep pressing forward in their fight for a better future for the country and continent at large.

“Dear young Nigerian, we adults will not hold the stage forever, you own the future. Keep moving to fulfill the dream of a Nigeria and Africa that empower all without discrimination, creating political, economic, and cultural development. Your efforts will not be in vain, ” he wrote.

In his post, Adeyemi also advised the older generation of leaders to set aside prejudices, and create an atmosphere where potentials can be allowed to flourish.

“Those of us in the older generation need to think ahead about our legacy,” he said. “Africans have suffered a lot through history. We have a duty to rise above prejudice and selfishness, to create an environment where potential can flourish, and where leadership is accountable and poised for service.”

Pastor Sam Adeyemi was one of the notable voices in support of the #EndSARS protests which rocked several states in Nigeria and some parts of the world last year.

He, alongside others like, musicians Burna Boy, Davido, and Falz; comedians, Mr Macaroni and Taaoma; and activist, Aisha Yesufu, was sued in November 2020 as vocal supporters of the #EndSARS protests.

The suit was however halted by an order of a High Court in the Federal Capital Territory in January.

Nnamdi Kanu asks his followers to fast ahead of his arraignment on Thursday

 

Ahead of his arraignment on Thursday, October 21, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has told his supporters to embark on a dry fasting.

 

His lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, disclosed this after his routine visit to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader in detention.

 

In a statement released online, Ejiofor said that Kanu was in high spirit and is ready for the Thursday arraignment.

 

His statement reads

“Thankfully, the Federal Government of Nigeria is fully aware of this date, and more compelling is the fact that the detaining authority has since over a month ago, concluded every purported investigation into the matter.

Hence, no plausible excuse will be available to them not to produce Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in court come Thursday, the 21st Day of October 2021. You must all see him live and direct on this date”, the statement read in part.

Onyendu advised his supporters and millions of followers to go into dry fasting as the D-Day approaches, because resounding victory will be ours on this date and the Almighty Chukwuokike Abiama will be given the glory and adoration in the end, Iseee!!!

In a nutshell, our indefatigable Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is firm and strong in his convictions.

He was never taken away from Abuja to any place. He will be in court next Thursday, and nothing will stop the Federal Government of Nigeria from producing him in court on the 21st Day of October 2021” he said

Utomi, Falana to attend lecture in honour of #EndSARS, Dele Giwa

 

Political economist and former presidential candidate, Prof. Patrick Utomi, and Human Rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, are billed to attend a lecture in honour of Dele Giwa, as well as to commemorate the first anniversary of the #EndSARS protest.

Dele Giwa was the founding editor-in-chief of Newswatch magazine. He died 35 years ago. However, the event is organised by the African Centre for Media and Information Literacy, in partnership with Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism, Enough is Enough Nigeria, National Consultative Front, PLAYYA and MILID Foundation

Moreso, the event will also mark the public presentation of Remaking Nigeria: Sixty Years, Sixty Voices – a book of 60 essays by 60 young Nigerians which salutes 60 years of Nigeria’s independence and points the way towards a better country. 

The #EndSARS advocacy made global headlines last October when young Nigerians across the country and in major cities around the world embarked on protests against persistent brutality and rights violations by the Nigeria Police Force. 

The Coordinator of AFRICMIL, Chido Onumah, said in a statement, “One year after the protests and the reprehensible violent response by the Nigerian Army which led to the death of unarmed protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos. It is important to cast a critical eye on that incident and see what lessons have been learnt and what needs to be done going forward,” 

 Significantly, the first-year remembrance of these protests coincides with the 35th anniversary of the murder via letter-bomb of the celebrated journalist, Dele Giwa. 

“It is a measure of the acute dysfunction of the Nigerian state that till date, no one has been arrested let alone brought to trial for this heinous crime, Onumah noted.

Napoli vs Torino: Osimhen fires Napoli top of Serie A table

 

Napoli returned to the top of Serie A on Sunday after Nigeria international Victor Osimhen scored the only goal in a hard-fought 1-0 win against Torino.

AC Milan had moved to the top of the table after battling back from two goals down to beat Hellas Verona 3-2 at the San Siro on Saturday.

But Napoli moved back to the summit after Osimhen, who had scored for his country in a 2-0 win against the Central African Republic in World Cup qualifying last week, headed the 81st-minute winner.

Napoli have 24 points, two more than AC Milan while reigning champions Inter Milan are on 17 points after losing ground following a 3-1 defeat away to Lazio on Saturday.

Juventus host Roma in Sunday’s late match.

Atalanta were easy 4-1 winners against Empoli on Sunday as they warmed up to take on Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Veteran Slovenian forward, Josip Ilicic, recalled to the team after suffering from a combination of a knee injury and severe depression, scored the opener and his first goal of the season when he was well served by Joakim Maehle on 10 minutes.

Ilicic, 33, got his second with a rasping shot on 26 minutes but Federico Di Francesco pulled a goal back for the home side.

Four minutes into the second half, Atalanta took a 3-1 lead when 19-year-old Empoli defender, Mattia Viti, scored an own goal before the visitors wrapped up the win when Colombian forward, Duvan Zapata, got his 100th Serie A goal.

The team from Bergamo now head to northwest England to face United, who were beaten 4-2 at Leicester on Saturday, in Champions League Group F.

Moment bear attacks pregnant woman in front of terrified children at circus (video)

A bear suddenly attacked a pregnant trainer in a Russian circus in the presence of terrified screaming children and their parents.

 

The terrifying ordeal started during an act in the ring involving two bears and two trainers at a crowded circus.

 

The pregnant trainer was doing her job when the brown bear tackled her to the ground.

 

Two men quickly intervened and fought with the animal to pull it clear.

 

 

A witness said the male bear did not back off despite multiple "blows with a whip".

 

The injured trainer suffered bruises and cuts but thankfully her unborn child was not harmed.

 

She claimed that the bear could have attacked her because she was pregnant.

 

The bloodied circus performer was rushed to hospital after the horrifying incident in the city of Oryol, in western Russia.

 

 

"I literally have two scratches and a slight bruise on my leg," she said.

 

"With the animal, too, everything is fine, and my baby, all is normal."

 

The unnamed trainer added: "Perhaps it was jealousy to some extent, since I am pregnant. There can be many nuances.

 

 

The bear who attacked the woman has now been barred from performances and it is unclear when or if it will return.

 

The Russian Investigative Committee has launched a probe into the incident.

 

"The investigation is undertaking a set of measures to establish all the circumstances of the incident, interviewing circus employees, and witnesses," said a source.

 

There have been several shocking circus animal incidents over the past few months.

 

Irina Novozhilova, of animal rights group VITA, has called for the ban of all circuses with live animals, which remain a popular attraction across Russia.

 

"No circus conditions will be humane for one simple reason," she said.

 

"Training goes hand in hand with cruelty. Circuses are always cruel beyond limits.

 

"And circuses with animals should be banned."

 

The use of animals in UK circuses are banned.

Nelson decided to leave Little Mix after 10 years so she could focus on her mental health, but now she is stepping back into the spotlight as a solo artist.

The singer was previously spotted shooting a music video in London with fans noticing that rapper Nicki Minaj could be heard as snippets of the song were played.

On Tuesday the stars confirmed they have teamed up on Jesy’s single Boyz, her first since quitting the girl group.

The Salute singer wasn’t giving much of the track away as she took to Instagram, posting a video of herself in rehearsals flanked by backing dancers.

At the end of the clip, Nicki can be heard rapping with her take on a British accent: ‘It’s the UK baddie and the Barbie’ as Jesy opens her mouth to reveal she is wearing grills.

The X Factor star captioned the video: ‘Do you think they’re ready for this? 😝@nickiminaj #Boyz.’ Nicki replied with a string of unicorn emoji in the comments.

Nicki has worked with Jesy in the past when she was still in Little Mix, appearing on their song Woman Like Me.

The star has previously revealed the artwork for Boyz, which saw her surrounded by muscled men exercising.

Jesy revealed a ‘horrendous’ break up inspired the single.

She told Reign with Josh Smith: ‘In a nutshell, I went through a breakup and it was probably the first time I’ve ever been heartbroken in my life.

‘It was f**king horrendous, and I was laying in bed and was like, “Why is it that when I’ve been with really, really nice boys, that I get bored? And as soon as I get with someone that’s bad, I’m obsessed with them?” And, “Why is it that most girls want a bad boy?” And I thought, I need to write a song about this.

‘So I was lying in bed and I was like, “Hold on. It would be so sick if I sampled the original Diddy Bad Boys For Life.” So I messaged the guys that I was working with and I was like, “You’re going to think I’m mental, but I really, really want to sample this song and write a song about why girls like bad boys and why I love a bad boy.” And they were like, “Let’s do it.” Went into the studio, and that was the first song we wrote.’
