Nwaokobia Calls for Reforms Amid Delayed Protest

Prof. Chris Mustapha Nwaokobia Jnr., the Convener of the Country First Movement, has strongly supported the upcoming hunger protest, declaring it as “long overdue.” He believes that the severe issues of hunger, inflation, food scarcity, and economic mismanagement have deeply affected the nation, despite its vast resources.

In his statement, Nwaokobia criticized the government for allegedly failing to address these problems and accused certain individuals and groups of pretending to offer solutions while actually doing nothing to prevent the protest. He urged the government to prioritize fundamental reforms instead of focusing on these so-called problem-solvers.

He also pointed out that the military and police should facilitate a peaceful and orderly protest, respecting the constitutional right to demonstrate. He reminded them that such a right is fundamental and that their role should be to ensure the safety and peace of the protests.

Nwaokobia linked the current situation to historical precedents, recalling the January 2012 protests against President Goodluck Jonathan’s fuel subsidy removal. He noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, then an opposition leader, supported the 2012 protests. He argued that the current administration, which once supported such protests, should now allow them without interference.

He criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for worsening economic conditions, citing examples of excessive spending on luxury items and infrastructure, while the common citizen suffers from economic hardships. He believes these issues have led to widespread dissatisfaction and that the protest is a necessary response to the government’s failures.

Nwaokobia concluded by emphasizing that the protest is a justified reaction to the current government’s failures and that attempts to suppress it through threats or divisive tactics will not succeed. He expressed confidence that the protest, driven by genuine public concern, is inevitable and necessary for the country’s redemption.

Kenneth Okonkwo Announces Split from Labour Party.

Kenneth Okonkwo Announces Split from Labour Party and Peter Obi.

Kenneth Okonkwo, who previously served as the spokesman for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, has formally ended his political affiliation with the Labour Party and its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

In a statement posted on his social media account on July 27, 2024, Okonkwo explained his decision, attributing it to the ongoing internal crises within the Labour Party and Obi’s inability to address and resolve these issues. He expressed his disappointment in Obi’s leadership, stating that he has lost confidence in Obi’s capacity to unify the party and lead it to success in the forthcoming general elections.

Okonkwo’s criticisms were sharp and direct. He noted that Obi failed to use his influence to tackle the party’s internal challenges, which have persisted since the 2023 elections. This inaction, according to Okonkwo, has shown that Obi is incapable of building a robust political platform that could effectively compete with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.

Okonkwo detailed his disillusionment, stating that many Nigerians, including himself, had high hopes for the Labour Party post-2023 elections. He believed that Obi would harness the momentum and build a party of integrity. However, he was first taken aback when Obi publicly declared that his focus was on solving Nigeria’s problems rather than building a strong Labour Party. This statement made Okonkwo question Obi’s understanding of the importance of a solid party base.

Despite his initial support and defense of Obi, hoping for a private resolution to the party’s issues, Okonkwo found himself increasingly disappointed. He highlighted Obi’s failure to support the Labour Unions that founded the Labour Party, which further compounded the internal strife and confusion among party members.

Okonkwo’s statement also pointed out that Obi did not distance himself from the expired and allegedly corrupt National Working Committee (NWC). This lack of decisive action, according to Okonkwo, left the party members confused about Obi’s leadership and intentions.

Finally, Okonkwo criticized Obi for not supporting efforts to hold an all-inclusive convention that would ensure the participation of all Labour Party members in choosing their leaders. He expressed his frustration at having to represent a leader whose positions on critical issues he did not understand or agree with.

Concluding his statement, Okonkwo declared his decision to separate from Obi and the Labour Party, stating that he could no longer campaign for someone who he believed could not secure and sustain a political victory. He emphasized his commitment to continue his political journey independently, seeking to fulfill his vision for Nigeria without the association of Peter Obi.

Wike: No Application Yet for Eagle Square Protest Venue.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, announced that he has not yet received a formal letter requesting the use of Eagle Square for a planned protest scheduled to begin on August 1.

Wike made this announcement on Saturday during a town hall meeting with key stakeholders in the FCT, ahead of the #EndBadGovernance protest. He emphasized that his office has not been approached through official channels regarding the use of Eagle Square for the protest.

During the town hall meeting, Wike advised the organisers to avoid relying solely on social media to communicate and to follow the proper procedures. He reiterated his earlier stance against the protest, saying, “For those who want to protest on the 1st, the FCT is not available for such protests,” and urged residents to refrain from participating in such actions.

The town hall meeting was attended by notable stakeholders, including the FCT Minister of State, Mariya Mahmoud, area council chairmen, traditional rulers, religious leaders, representatives of political parties, and women and youth groups, among others. This gathering aimed to address concerns and foster dialogue between the FCT administration and its residents regarding the planned protest and other pressing issues.

Wike’s remarks underscored the importance of adhering to formal communication channels for organizing such events and maintaining public order. He expressed the FCT administration’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all residents while upholding their rights to peaceful assembly, provided it is done within the bounds of the law.

 

Togo, Benin, and Others Owe Nigeria $14.19m for Q1 Power Supply

Debt Strain: Togo, Benin, and Others Owe Nigeria $14.19m for Q1 Power Supply.

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) reported that Nigeria’s power sector is burdened by a $14.19 million debt from international customers, including PARAS-SBEE, Transcorp-SBEE, Mainstream-NIGELEC, and Odukpani-CEET, for electricity exported in Q1 2024. Additionally, Ajaokuta Steel Co. Ltd and its host community did not pay ₦1.36 billion owed for local electricity consumption.

Domestic bilateral customers also failed to pay a cumulative invoice of ₦1.86 billion. The total revenue collected by all Distribution Companies (DisCos) was ₦291.62 billion out of ₦368.65 billion billed, with an overall billing efficiency of 80.45%.

The aggregate technical, commercial, and collection (ATC&C) loss was 36.36%, higher than the allowed target of 27.50%, negatively impacting DisCos’ profitability. Some DisCos, like Ikeja, performed well, while others, like Kaduna and Kano, struggled with high ATC&C losses. The NERC is working with DisCos to improve revenue assurance and reduce losses.

Nigeria’s $210m auto industry overshadowed by Morocco.

Nigeria’s $210m auto industry overshadowed by Morocco, South Africa, and Egypt.

Nigeria’s $210 million automotive industry lags behind peers like Morocco, South Africa, and Egypt due to low demand for locally-made vehicles and heavy reliance on imported second-hand cars.

In 2023, Nigeria produced around 2,034 vehicles worth $210 million, contributing only 0.04% to its GDP. In contrast, Morocco’s industry produced 535,825 vehicles valued at $31.4 billion, accounting for 24% of its GDP. South Africa, the continent’s second-largest automotive producer, made 633,337 vehicles worth $20 billion, contributing 5.3% to its GDP. Egypt produced 23,754 cars valued at $1.5 billion, contributing 0.31% to its GDP.

Nigeria’s vehicle assembly plants, including prominent names like Nissan Motors, Honda Motors, and Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company, have a combined capacity of 500,000 vehicles per year but operate at about 2% of this capacity. This underperformance is attributed to low patronage and competition from imported used cars.

In contrast, Morocco’s industry benefits from substantial government support, including subsidies for manufacturers, improved infrastructure, and skilled workforce training. This support has attracted significant investments from companies like Renault and Stellantis. Similarly, South Africa’s Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP) and Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP) have fostered a robust automotive sector with companies like BMW and Toyota.

In Nigeria, the demand for new cars is stifled by high-interest rates on auto financing and the preference for cheaper, imported used vehicles. Takashi Nakajima, managing director of Honda Automobile West Africa (HAWA), highlighted the need for government intervention to restrict used car imports and support auto financing to boost local demand.

Despite a combined investment of over N500 billion in Nigeria’s automotive sector, the local industry remains underutilized. Remi Adams of HAWA noted that their plant, with a capacity of 10,000 units per year, currently produces about 2,000 units due to low demand.

The National Bureau of Statistics reported a significant increase in passenger car imports into Nigeria, which jumped to N1.47 trillion, a 224.67% increase from 2022. This trend undermines local manufacturing efforts.

Joseph Osanipin, director-general of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), emphasized the need for Nigerians to support locally-made vehicles to boost the industry’s contribution to the GDP and job creation. Benneth Ejindu of the Nigerian Automotive Manufacturers Association (NAMA) stressed the potential for local production of automotive parts and called for the signing of the NAIDP 2024 into law to promote domestic manufacturing.

Former government adviser Luqman Mamudu suggested that all imported used vehicles should have certificates of integrity from their countries of origin and called for a N100 billion intervention fund for vehicle acquisition loans for made-in-Nigeria cars. This, he argued, would help reduce transportation costs and drive down inflation by promoting shared car services, buses, and trucks.

The Nigerian automotive industry has the potential for significant growth if supported by favorable policies, investment in local manufacturing, and a shift in consumer preferences towards locally-made vehicles.

August 1 Protest Timing Criticized Amid Economic Crisis.

  • August 1 Protest Timing Questioned Amid Economic Improvement

    The proposed August 1 protest against economic hardship faces criticism for its timing. It is argued that such protests should have occurred earlier when prices began rising and government responses were slow. The Nigerian economy is on the brink of recovery, with recent measures like a new minimum wage and economic reforms showing promise. Protests planned now might appear politically motivated rather than addressing current economic changes.

  • Economic Hardship Protest Timing Criticized as Economy Improves

    The planned August 1 protest against economic struggles is deemed poorly timed, given recent positive shifts in Nigeria’s economy. Critics suggest that protests should have happened months ago when inflation was climbing and government aid was lacking. With recent reforms and economic stabilization efforts, the timing of the protest raises questions about its motivations.

  • August 1 Protest Faces Scrutiny Over Timing Amid Economic Reforms

    The August 1 protest against Nigeria’s economic challenges is criticized for its timing, coming just as the economy shows signs of recovery. Recent measures, including a new minimum wage and economic reforms, indicate progress. Critics argue that earlier protests would have been more impactful and accuse the current timing of political motivations.

  • Criticism of August 1 Protest Timing Amid Economic Recovery

    The proposed August 1 protest is criticized for being poorly timed, with Nigeria’s economy beginning to recover. Critics argue that protests should have been held earlier during the peak of economic hardship. Recent government actions, such as new economic policies and aid, suggest that the timing of the protest might be politically driven rather than addressing current economic conditions.

  • August 1 Protest: Timing Questioned as Economic Situation Improves

    The timing of the August 1 protest against economic issues is questioned as Nigeria’s economic situation starts to improve. Recent reforms and government measures suggest a potential turnaround, making the protest’s timing appear less relevant. Critics argue that earlier action would have been more appropriate and see current efforts as politically motivated.

Lawmakers Get N740bn for Constituency Projects Amid Malaria Outbreak.

Each year, malaria kills nearly 200,000 Nigerians, but lawmakers are allocated nearly N740 billion for constituency projects, which may have limited impact on addressing this health crisis. This year, Nigerians will spend over N1.7 trillion on malaria treatments, while the 2024 budget allocates only N63 billion for malaria interventions. Despite this, funds for constituency projects remain significant.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that malaria affects 68 million Nigerians annually, with 200,000 deaths. Domestic funding for malaria control is minimal, with 21% of the $3.84 billion invested since 2000 coming from local sources. Global initiatives, such as the Global Fund and the US President’s Malaria Initiative, support malaria control in various states.

Funding gaps and misalignment in priorities between international donors and Nigerian health needs exacerbate the issue. Nigeria’s health expenditure is inadequate, with high out-of-pocket costs burdening households and pushing many into poverty. The allocation of funds primarily supports secondary and tertiary care, overlooking preventive measures that could have a more significant impact on malaria control.

Domestic Workers Covered by New Minimum Wage?

Domestic Workers Covered by New Minimum Wage?

Fact Check: Does the New Minimum Wage Apply to Domestic Workers?

Claim: Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced that the new minimum wage of N70,000 applies to all workers, including domestic staff such as maids, drivers, and gatemen.

Findings:

  • New Minimum Wage: The 2024 National Minimum Wage Amendment Act sets the new minimum wage at N70,000, replacing the previous N30,000 wage.
  • Coverage: Both the 2019 and 2024 Acts exclude domestic workers. The Acts include exemptions for establishments with fewer than 25 employees and other specific categories.
  • ILO Convention: Nigeria has not adopted the ILO Domestic Workers Convention No. 189, which calls for domestic workers to be covered by minimum wage laws.

Conclusion: The new minimum wage law does not cover domestic workers, contrary to the claim made by Senate President Akpabio.

Utomi Will Join Hardship Protest if Reached Out To.

On Recent Developments: Prof. Pat Utomi criticizes the political class for failing to address the country’s deteriorating situation. He laments their inability to demonstrate effective nation-building skills, suggesting that both the legislature and judiciary are compromised. He also condemns the government’s policies as ineffective and misaligned with public needs.

On the August 1 Protest: Utomi expresses skepticism about the upcoming protest, questioning the identities and plans of its organizers. He emphasizes his historical involvement in protests and expresses willingness to join if the cause is legitimate and transparently organized. He notes that accusations from Bayo Onanuga linking him and Peter Obi to the protest seem baseless and possibly intended to distract or create fear.

On Legal Action Against Onanuga: Utomi confirms his intention to pursue legal action against Bayo Onanuga for defamation, both in Nigeria and the U.S., as Onanuga’s accusations were not retracted.

On the Tinubu Administration: Utomi criticizes President Tinubu’s administration, arguing that its promises under the Renewed Hope Agenda are insincere and ineffective. He reflects on the historical struggles of June 12 and the distortion of its narrative by those who did not face the real dangers.

Summary: Prof. Utomi is critical of both the current political leadership and the administration’s stance on protests. He demands transparency and accountability while remaining open to participating in protests against perceived injustices.

Sinclair Refinery 110,000 bpd production.

Sinclair Refinery: 110,000 bpd combined for its two facilities, older and smaller

In a recent video, Afrobeats artist Seun Kuti claimed that the Nigerian Federal Government spent $2 billion to acquire a 20% stake in the Dangote Refinery, while the same amount was used to purchase the entire Sinclair Refinery in the U.S. He asserted that both refineries are of comparable size.

Findings:

  1. Dangote Refinery:
    • Capacity: 650,000 barrels per day (bpd)
    • Location: Lekki Free Zone, Lagos, Nigeria
    • Storage: 4.78 billion liters for refined products
    • Production: Up to 50 million liters of gasoline and 15 million liters of diesel per day
    • Ranking: 7th largest refinery in the world (as of February 2024)
  2. Sinclair Refinery:
    • Capacity: 110,000 barrels per day (bpd) across two facilities (Sinclair and Casper, Wyoming)
    • Acquisition: Purchased for $2.6 billion by HollyFrontier Corporation in August 2021
    • Historic Background: Established in 1916, it’s an older refinery compared to Dangote’s new facility.

Expert Opinion:

  • Professor Dayo Ayoade: Points out that Sinclair’s refinery cannot be compared to Dangote’s due to its significantly larger capacity and recent construction. He argues that Kuti’s comparison is inaccurate because the Dangote Refinery is a newer, much larger facility, whereas Sinclair’s refineries are older and smaller in scale.

Conclusion: Seun Kuti’s claim that both refineries are of the same size is incorrect. The Dangote Refinery is considerably larger in capacity and scale compared to Sinclair’s refineries.

Kogi PDP Halts Ward Congress After Thugs Invade Secretariat.

The Kogi State Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Senator Danjuma Laah, has decided to postpone the state ward congress initially set for Saturday. This decision follows an incident where hoodlums broke into the party’s state secretariat and stole critical electoral materials.

The committee’s spokesperson, Dayo Akande, stated that the postponement was made in collaboration with the congress committee chairman, Boyelayefa Debeleme. According to the statement, the attackers arrived in an 18-seater bus and other vehicles without proper identification, and their actions occurred in the presence of an observer from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The stolen materials were essential for the congress across the 239 wards in the 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.

The committee strongly condemned the theft and has called on INEC and other relevant bodies to disregard any results that may come from this disrupted process. This move aims to ensure that the congress can be conducted fairly and securely once the stolen materials are recovered and the situation is resolved.

Ebuka Stuns in ATAFO for BBNaija S9 Opening Night.

Has Ebuka ever missed the mark with his outfits? The answer is a resounding no. For the past eight seasons, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has been the host of Big Brother Naija, and each season, he has brought his unique flair to the show. Not only does he host the show with his captivating style—keeping housemates on their toes during evictions—but he also consistently wows viewers with his impeccable fashion sense.

Check here, here, and here for the proof.

This year is no different. For the opening night of BBNaija “No Loose Guard,” Ebuka, who has consistently raised the bar for style and sophistication, delivered as expected. The renowned host delivered three show-stopping looks, all custom-designed by Mai Atafo.

His first ensemble was a classic black suit elevated by a dramatic, shimmery cape, paired with sleek red-bottom shoes. The black suit’s elegance was underscored by the unexpected addition of the cape, which shimmered under the stage lights, giving Ebuka a regal and commanding presence. The red-bottom shoes added a pop of bold color to the sophisticated look, maintaining a perfect balance between classic and contemporary styles.

For his second look, Ebuka opted for a modern three-piece suit featuring tailored black pants, an embellished vest, and a matching blazer adorned with diamond jewellery. The intricacy of the embellishments on the vest and blazer highlighted the meticulous craftsmanship of Mai Atafo’s designs. The diamond jewellery added a touch of opulence, making the ensemble perfect for the grandeur of the BBNaija opening night.

His third outfit was a stunning traditional piece, showcasing Mai Atafo’s signature Insigna embroidery in gold. The rich gold embroidery stood out against the deep, luxurious fabric, creating a visual masterpiece. The look was completed with gold cuffs, a beaded bracelet, and a regal velvet cap featuring a striking 3D beaded raptor embellishment. This traditional ensemble not only paid homage to Nigerian heritage but also showcased Ebuka’s ability to seamlessly blend modern and traditional styles.

Each of these outfits exemplified Ebuka’s ability to embody sophistication, elegance, and bold fashion choices, setting the tone for what promises to be another exciting season of Big Brother Naija.
