Some youths have threatened to hold a fresh protest at the Lekki tollgate over plans to reopen it for operations.
The PUNCH gathered that they have begun to mobilise on social media with #RevolutionNow and #OccupyLekkiTollGate, with the matter trending as number one and three on Twitter.
As of 11 am, some of the youths shared Display Pictures and banners to create awareness about the protest.
The Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, has said that popular crossdresser Bobrisky is nothing but a disgrace to Nigeria and should not be allowed to continue with his fake life.
Runsewe, who stated on Sunday in Abuja, said Bobrisky should leave the country if he wants to continue his way of life.
According to him, Bobrisky had constituted a nuisance to Nigerian and African values and misleading other youths, due to a lack of true African values in him.
He alleged that Bobrisky was going to set up the African Chapter of Gay and LGBT in Nigeria during his recently aborted birthday party with people from over 70 countries coming to attend the event.
Almajiri system produced Dangote, Rabiu, others –Adamu Garba
Former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has said the Almajiri system ubiquitous in northern Nigeria produced some of the richest men in the country including Africa’s pride, Aliko Dangote; as well as the founder of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu; amongst others.
Garba, who spoke on a PUNCH Liveprogramme over the weekend, also said he was once an Almajiri before he acquired Western education.
The Almajiri system involves parents sending their wards to live with clerics in order to study the Qu’ran and Islamic tenets.
Do you welcome the idea of fresh protest to loom up?
