Police Put on Red Alert, Govt Officials Worry Over Planned Nationwide Protest Against Hardship In Nigeria |

A planned nationwide protest across the country has put the police on high alert and caused anxiety among government officials.

The protest scheduled for August 1-10, 2024 is organized by Nigerian youths. It aims to draw attention to the country’s worsening hardship and pressure the government to reverse policies blamed for the hardship.

The police have issued a memo urging officers to prevent the protest.

A leaked memo said, “Some groups are mobilizing for mass protest nationwide beginning from 1 to 10 2024”.

The memo, dated July 8 and copied to zonal Assistant Inspectors-General of Police, urged the operatives to be proactive and “mobilize well-kitted and equipped personnel” ahead of the protest.

“INGENPOL directs you to be proactive, mobilize well-kitted and equipped personnel, synergize with other sister agencies and the military, takeover all strategic points in your AOR, deploy undercover for intelligent gathering, disperse unlawful gatherings, be in heart-to-heart conversation with community stakeholders, no form of protest must be allowed during the period,” it said.

The planned protest has instilled fear in Nigerian public officer holders, especially lawmakers who are fidgeting over possible attacks on them. The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday engaged in a panic debate, expressing fear of attacks by angry Nigerians who are deep in prevailing hardship.

The protest is a response to the government’s policies, which have led to fuel price hikes, high cost of living, and food insecurity.

Organizers are demanding an end to the subsidy scam, reversal of fuel prices to below N300 per litre, reduction of tertiary education fees, restoration of electricity tariffs to affordable levels, reduction of import duties, disclosure and reduction of senators’ and house members’ salaries and allowances, and EFCC reform.

Three Historical buildings in Nigeria.

The First-Storey Building in Nigeria
The construction of the first-storey building in Nigeria started in 1842 and was completed in 1845. After completion, Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther lived there with his family, and it was here that he translated the English Bible into the Yoruba language. This building is home to many historical relics, such as:

The first cemented well in Nigeria.
The first primary school in Nigeria.
Nigeria’s oldest Bible, written in an indigenous language.
It is estimated that at least 2000 people visit every year.

Jaekel House
Jaekel House was constructed in 1898 and is one of the oldest buildings within the Nigerian Railway Compound Lagos. It is named after Francis Jaekel OBE, a former superintendent of the Nigerian Railway Corporation. The house is now managed and maintained by Legacy1995 to preserve the legacy of Nigeria’s earliest railway tracks, repair yards, and sheds. Today it houses a mini museum housing artefacts and mementos showcasing Nigeria’s railway history.

Visitors to the Jaekel House Museum can see British weaponry, miniature reproductions of trains, and other artefacts and photographs linked to the period’s civilian, political, and military life.

Ancient Kano City Walls
Kano, now one of the most populated cities in West Africa, was surrounded by the ancient Kano city walls hundreds of years before British colonists arrived in Nigeria.

The brown-mud wall stands thirty to fifty feet high and measures 40 feet thick and was constructed between 1095 and 1134 and completed in the middle of the 14th century.

The city of Kano was a center for Islamic studies and a thriving hub with abundant water and iron deposits at the time, so the leadership took extra security precautions by using the ancient Kano city walls to monitor all entry and exit and protect the city from outside invasion.

Meet Nigeria’s millionaire Candido Da Rocha who sent his dirty clothes to Britain for laundry

Born in 1860 in Brazil, Candido Da Rocha was the son of Joao Esan Da Rocha, a former slave from the Yoruba subgroup Ilesha. At age 10, Joao Esan Da Rocha was captured and sold into slavery in Brazil in 1840. After gaining his freedom, Esan returned to Nigeria in 1871 when many freed slaves in Brazil traced their roots back to the Yoruba tribe Ilesha.

Upon his return, Esan established a business empire, purchasing two houses in Lagos, including the well-known Water House. Esan became a wealthy merchant, setting the stage for his son's future success.

Candido Da Rocha, born in Brazil, initially spoke only Portuguese and Ilesha upon his return to Nigeria. He attended CMS Grammar School, alongside notable Nigerians like Olayinka Herbert Samuel Heelas Badmus Macaulay, considered by many as the founder of Nigerian nationalism.

After Joao Esan Da Rocha's death on December 31, 1891, Candido, at the age of 25, took over his father's estates in 1893. He expanded the family business into a substantial empire, venturing into the water business and supplying water to Lagos in the 1920s. His house was the first in Lagos to have a borehole and a water fountain, earning him payments from colonial administrators for water supply.

Candido's first significant breakthrough came in 1894 when he bought gold bars from a British prospector for £6,000. Lacking the funds, he secured a loan from First Bank (then the Bank of West Africa) to purchase the gold, which he filed into gold dust and sold to goldsmiths, making a 200% profit.

In 1907, Candido partnered with J.H. Doherty and Sedu Williams to establish Lagos Native Bank, which provided healthy competition to other big banks until he was defrauded. He then established Lagos Finance Company, lending money to people.

Candido Da Rocha's granddaughter, Angelica Oyediran, described him as close to the British and western world, highly respected, and disciplined. He was known for his generosity and integrity, refusing to engage in politics despite his wealth and influence. During the Second World War, he offered his property, Bonanza Hotel, to the British government to protect Nigerian students at King's College.

Despite not officially marrying, Candido had three women who bore him children—a son named Alexander and four daughters. A significant dispute with Alexander in 1920 led to their estrangement, with Alexander moving to Ghana, explaining the presence of the Da Rocha family in Ghana today.

Candido Da Rocha passed away in 1959 and was buried at Ikoyi Cemetery. His legacy as a pioneering businessman and philanthropist in Lagos remains notable.

The richest man in China said, “If you put the bananas and money in front of the monkeys, the monkeys will choose bananas because the monkeys don't know that money can buy a lot of bananas.

In fact, if you offer WORK and BUSINESS to people, they will choose to WORK because most people don't know that a BUSINESS can make more MONEY than a salary.

One of the reasons the poor are poor is because the poor are not trained to recognize the entrepreneurial opportunity.

They spend a lot of time in school and what they learn in school is to work for a salary instead of working for themselves.

Profit is better than wages because wages can support you, but profits can make you a fortune.

Breaking News: ECOWAS Court Finds FG Guilty of Human Rights Abuse During Protest

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Community Court of Justice has delivered a landmark judgment, finding the Federal Government of Nigeria guilty of human rights violations during the protest in October 2020.

The court ruled that the government's use of force, particularly at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos, breached international human rights standards, including the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.

In a significant ruling, the ECOWAS court has ordered the Nigerian government to pay N2 million in compensation to each victim named in the suit.

This judgment is a major victory for the victims of the protest and a stark reminder of the government's responsibility to protect human rights.
