 Mali renames colonial French street names Mali followed Burkina Faso and Niger on Wednesday in renaming streets and squares in its capital to get rid of their French colonial names, AFP reported. Streets bearing the names of members of France's colonial administration have been rebaptised in Bamako, according to a decree by the junta chief. Cedeao Avenue (the French acronym for the Economic Community of West African States or ECOWAS) is also now named after a new strategic confederation that Mali has formed with Burkina Faso and Niger – the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). In all, nearly 25 names have been replaced, among them boulevards, streets, squares and public establishments. Niger and Burkina Faso have already made several changes to street and monument names in the last two years. In October, Niger renamed several historic sites in its capital Niamey which previously bore references to old colonial master France. Mali has been ruled by the military since back-to-back coups ...

 Bobrisky demands open investigation amid bribery saga


Nigerian cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has called for an open and independent investigation into the alleged N15 million bribe saga.

VeryDarkMan shared a video online on Tuesday wherein Bobrisky claimed she bribed some EFCC officials with N15,000,000 to drop the money laundering charges against her.

The commission then invited VeryDarkMan and Bobrisky over bribery allegations against its officials.

Ola Olukoyede, the EFCC chairman, also ordered an immediate investigation into the allegations.

But on Wednesday, the crossdresser described the viral recording as “fake,” arguing that she did not pay any amount to the anti-graft agency.

Bobrisky also insisted that she served her term in prison.

Similarly, popular rapper, appeared to have confirmed a part of VeryDarkMan’s claims in a warning letter to the activist.

In a letter demanding the activist to retract his allegation, Falz claimed the crossdresser called him to seek financial assistance of “N3 million to pay some officials to get a VIP prison section” — which he declined.

The crossdresser also made a cryptic post mulling on a suicide attempt. However, in another post via Instagram, Bobrisky dismissed talks of fear, calling for an open investigation.

He wrote: “Please, everyone calling to tell me the danger I am in and the plans against me should hold it now and fu*k it. I was being scared because of the story that EFCC will detain me again and I will be sentenced to prison a second time.

“I am ready for any investigation, but not in the same EFCC office where I was detained, and any investigation should be free, no intimidation and I demand for an independent and open investigation for the world to see.”

The socialite further reiterated that the audio was fake, adding that it could be altered and was ready to defend his case in court.

“Anybody can alter any audio, add or frame any audio and put it out. Best of luck. Anyone who published any audio should take responsibility for the audio. The fact remains that I am not the maker of the audio and didn’t publish any audio and nothing can change that.

“I will meet you guys in any court this time around if you have any case against me,” he said.

The social media influencer and socialite regained his freedom on August 5, 2024, after spending six months in incarceration for abusing the naira by spraying it at a party.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on April 5 secured the conviction of Bobrisky. He was charged on four counts bordering on naira abuse.

Following his release, Bobrisky urged Nigerians to follow the rules and abide by the law.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
