  The Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Rivers State Police Command, demanding a public apology for the assault on five journalists during a peaceful protest in Port Harcourt. Failure to comply, the union warned, would result in a statewide media blackout. In a statement jointly signed by Council Chairman Comrade Paul Bazia and Secretary Dr. Ijeoma Tubosia, the NUJ condemned the police actions as “unprovoked, barbaric, and inhuman,” calling for the immediate identification and prosecution of the officers involved. “The NUJ, as a watchdog of society, will not sit idly by while media practitioners are subjected to barbarism and brutality. Enough is enough,” the statement read, adding that further attacks on journalists would be “vehemently resisted.” The assaulted journalists—Charles Opurum of Channels TV, Allwell Ene of Naija FM, Soibelemari Oruwari of Nigeria Info, Ikezam Godswill of AIT, and Femi Ogunkhilede of Supe...

CHIBOK COMMUNITY IN BORNO STATE,REJECTS F.G OFFER TO REBUILD THEIR SCHOOL.

              According to the Caretaker Chairman of the Chibok Council Area,Mallan Ba'ana Lawan,accused government of several broken promises regarding the rescue of the girls,since their abduction  in April.''It is disheartening to inform you that since  the abduction of these girls,the Federal Government did not bother to send delegations to Chibok to sympathize with the parents,instead the parents were invited to Abuja and conveyed in cargo military plane with no comfort what so ever.We still observed that recently,President Gooluck Jonathan visited Mubi and Baga,but failed to visit Chibok to sympathize with our people.We also observed that the President and Chief of Defence Staff,Air Vice Marshall Alex Badeh had severally promised that these girls will soon be released,but it is now more than 300 days,and nothing of such happened.We thank God and appreciate Governor Kashim Shettima and his wife,Nana Kashim Shettima who did not only visit Chibok when the incident took place,but also secured admission for the 59 school girls that escaped from Boko Haram captivity to study in various schools in the country and for all the other assistance the couples have rendered to the parents''.This past weekend Jonathan sent Minister of state for power,Alhaji Mohammed Wakil,to reassure the community of the safe return of the abducted students but it appears the gesture came too little too late.If you ask me ohh,i know Goodluck was a bit slow to their response but i can remember back then when he attempted to visit Chibok,they said their was a breach of security.And for Christ sake,it is the responsibility of every Nigerian,to help search for the girls not just the government alone.Politics should not played in now because i am suspecting is because of politics,that was why the girls were missing in the first place..More photos below.
