- In Kaduna State, the State Governor, Uba Sani has imposed a 24hour curfew after peaceful protests turned violent.
The end bad governance protests which entered its fifth day on Monday, saw thousands of demonstrators waving the Russian flag in the state, while chanting slogans demanding the removal of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and calling on Russian President, Vladimir Putin to come to thier aid, as they marched on major streets. The protest was said to be the largest in the state.
The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested 39 suspects in connection with inciting violence, and displaying the Russian flag, as well as vandalising public and private property in various parts of the state capital.
The suspects included the tailor who produced the Russian Flags and Chinese flags for the protesters.
The spokesman for the State’s Police Command, Mansur Hassan said the suspects exploited the End Bad Governance protest and unleashed violence against innocent residents.
He also said some protesters overran an armoured personnel carrier loaded with live ammunition in the Tudun Wada area of the state.
A viral video has emerged showing a group of young people in Kaduna begging the military to seize control of Nigeria's government, sparking reactions on social media.
The chief of defense staff, General Christopher Musa, after a high level security meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday, warned protesters against flying foreign flags saying that it is a treasonable offence.
Musa also condemned those pushing for a change of government, stating that security agencies would defend democracy.
Several posts on social media had suggested that one of the flags behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his national address on Sunday was Russian.
To set the record straight, the second flag beside the national flag which bore four colours red, blue, white, and green belongs to the Nigerian armed forces, it signifies that Tinubu is the commander-in-chief as well as the president.
The four-band flag should not be confused with the Russian flag, which has three colours, white, blue, and red.
In Abuja, security forces fired teargas at protesters who gathered at the Moshood Abiola Stadium on Monday morning despite the President’s address on Sunday, urging protesters to discontinue the protests.
Some of the protesters said that the president was yet to address their demands. Top on their list was the return of petrol subsidy and the overhaul of NNPC as they called for the sack of the National oil company’s group head, Mele Kyari.
Over the weekend, a 2019 video showing the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mele Kyari promising to repair Nigeria's four national refineries before 2023, sparking a wave of criticism.
In Bangladesh, the country’s prime minister, Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country after weeks of protests against a quota system for government jobs, descended into violence and grew into a broader challenge to her 15-year rule.
Thousands of demonstrators stormed her official residence and other buildings associated with her party and family.
According to reports, Violence just before and after her resignation have left at least 41 people dead and about 200 others injured.
On Monday, Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets waving flags and cheering to celebrate her resignation.
In South Africa, 23 year old Chidimma Adetshina, who has made into the last 16 of the Miss South Africa competition, has been a target of social media users who believe that she should not be competing since both her parents are allegedly not from South Africa.
The controversy came after it was revealed that Adetshina’s father was Nigerian while her mother was believed to be from Mozambique.
However, organisers of the competition last week, confirmed that Adeshina is indeed a South African citizen, her mother being South African while her father is Nigerian.
Some South Africans have called for her disqualification, while others have defended her, saying that she meets all the requirements to compete.
The country’s Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gaston McKenzie in a recent interview said her eligibility gives funny vibes, generating more reactions.

Flying foreign flags in Nigeria is a treasonable offence, but flying foreign currencies over ours isn't. Jokes...
😂
May god less you for this comments sir
Very intelligent
You are speaking from your anus comparing apples to oranges.
You are speaking from your rear end. Comparing Apples to oranges.
Should Stealing Foreign Currencies belonging to all Nigerians also be a Treasonable Offence?
APC has made our life less Safe and more expensive
Just imagine if this act of carrying the Russian flag had happened in the eastern part of Nigeria, hmmmmmm
If this type of protest happens in southeast, casualties might not be less than 1,000,000, these trigger happy police and army.
😂 u are a bad man.. In fact e go reach 3000000😢.. Nigeri belong to the Northerners . They are first class citizens. It's really a shame that we find ourselves in this kind of situation.
Absolutely true
Stop lying you guys are flying Isreal flag everyday
Those people you refuse to educate will come back to haunt you.
Sharap there ogbomosho alimagiri @@bashiruharuna9935
Please what is the difference between this present Democrazy and military dictatorship One Man buying over Nigeria. I bought my office.
Exactly
A big difference if u actually lived through that Period. U are on social media cursing out your President is a big testament of our democracy. U won't do that with military dictators. Ask Nigerien. Burkinabe and Malien citizens
@okeoja4447 You don't need to answer this type of people they always put tribalisti, politics
and hatred to everything
Fun fact when you put the Russian 🇷🇺 flag upside down, you will get *Nigeria Military flag*
🔴 represents Army
🔵 represents Navy
⚪ represents Airforce.
Maybe these are calls for Military takeover.
Funny even @arisetv couldn't tell the difference. They don't pay attention, watch the president's speech again
@Aizik_Ace yes, when it's upside down but the flag seems to clearly be the Russian flag.
@@Aizik_Ace But Orji clarified this in 9:45 and Abati spoke more about it
But they said there is also green
Wow I didn't see this coming 😂
Did u notice that the police and protesters are friendly
Only in the North, if it's in south east it will be different, Nigeria is not one and will never work as one country, that's why we must get BIAFRA.
When a state neglects to educate and prioritize its children, the consequences are far-reaching and impactful.
Thanks. This is the real issue. Impoverishing and denying your own people education for decades is now coming back to bite the government and country, which could lead to a full scale bloody revolution. Men I fear for my country Nigeria
God bless you sir for this comment.
The most educated comment so far
It was because Jonathan build schools to educate the almajiris in the North that was why the North removed him. Today who is suffering the high rate of illiteracy
I am still waiting for them to cite where in the constitution that prohibits a civilian from simply holding a multi colured cloth no matter which country's flag it looks like. We have had USA flags in cars and as Tshirts for decades.
Calling for Russia to take over is a crime but simply holding a flag is not.
These people are just afraid and carrying out unjust arrests. There is no such act or clause in the law.
The Army displayed calm because it’s in the North. Try it in Eastern part of Nigeria then what you will see will shock you to your bones.
My brother this country is never one imagine protesters driving police tank and entering military vehicles and they are been pleaded to come down??hmmm
It's the Russian flag Dr. Abati. The northern youths were clearly chanting we want Russia. They knew exactly the flag they were sewing.
YES!!!
Yes ooo they knew it ,
The Taylor is because of poverty he is doing the work , nobody should blame him , even in many churches people fly other countries flags.
Churches only display flags of nations where they have branches or members. The intent is very different from those who want a military takeover. Going by your name, I assume you're a Christian and you should have known this. Shame!
Aboki don start, they no dey hear come na go

Government must do the needful by addressing the major issues which are
Hunger
Unemployment
Insecurity

Which government should address hunger? What are the major issues? The 1999Caliphate constitution is the major issue as far as the Indigenous Peoples are concerned. Power belongs to 'WE' the Peoples and not to the politicians!!!
If it had happened in the south east, security agents would not have been calm
You guys are flying Isreal flag everyday stop lying. No be all Nigerians be mumu na
On point
Igbo phobia! That's what it is! Democracy to hell!
You carry Nigerian flag at endSars, the Military is called to shoot at you. You raise Russian and Chinese flags in the North, the President calls security emergency meeting. Two countries, different ways. 😂
Lolz😂😂😂😂
YOU ARE VERY CORRECT

How are they killing democracy?
Army ode
How do they kill democracy?
They're calm because it's north; if it were East or South East, they would have opened fire. God bless Nigeria.
They would have wiped us off
Why's everyone saying this that's wrong tho
Igbo people are asking for cessation from Nigeria, Northerners are asking for Russian colonization. SMH.
Honestly eh, one want freedom, the other want bondage 😂😂😂
If you stand for democracy,then do the bid of the people.The people wants millitary take over!
I thought Nigeria was ruled by the military for more than 15 years, what did Nigeria gain?
And in your mind you think the military will be any better. Nigerians una like 1 step forward 15 steps back
@Tavernaccomodation Obviously,the military taking over is not the way forward, but if we must go by democracy,whether it is the way forward or not,you have to go by what the people want and say.The military can not tell us what the people want and call that democracy.
No the people don’t want military takeover. Fools and clots do. After the military take over, then what??! Waving the Russian flag is a sign of real ignorance
When you use the term "The people" are you factoring the percentage of the population making this request as well?
Nigeria needs a good coup leader 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Military defending democracy 🤥🤥 😂😂😂 I laugh in Swahili!
They couldn't defend farmers from killer herdsmen and hunger is pervasive. The political elite should address the problem of the protesters.
Somebody picks a random tailor to print some flags in a good day. He made money for his business. He may not even know the person or persons. Abeg no one should punish that man o. Chai poor man
Very true 💯
Igorance kills!
Think before commenting. It will help you.
@@odushuperezimo852 ok.
@@odushuperezimo852Oga this is the result of not educating your citizens. The Northern elites has refused to educate their people so that is what you see there. They use the people to commit atrocities to suit their purpose.
Niger has the fast growing economy since the military take over. If Nigeria doesn't want military government, the civilian government should sit up
Thank you guys .🙏🙏🙏🙏
The Power of Protest. Power belongs to the People. Let the People breath....
Everyone is now reading the handwriting on the wall, I see revolution coming.
Reuben prefers civilian dictatorship 😂
God bless the protesters
Tale of two Nigeria, can this happen in the Southeast? Can any Igbo person get closer to a Nigeria Army/Police armored vehicle and display foreign flags in Nigeria??
Igbo leaders ve hand in what is going on in lgbo land
It will definitely be disastrous if that happens in the South or East. Nigeria operates double standard
Those were underage and under the amnesty international rule,the army can't deliberately hurt children. How many children has the army killed in South East? NONE
So let's speak intelligently
Ojy the darling of journalism😊...that smile makes what's trending more interesting
@idubamoiyalla5099-Park your hot dog one side,honey goat🤣😁
These guys - the discussants - deserve huge wardrobe allowance.
the introduction by Dr Abati always put a smile on Ojynika Okpe. much love Arise crew
IGP baba ebetoku said no live bullet was fired all through the protest...but the resident commiserated with people that died, with a "Heavy Heart", who killed them???
#ANewNigeriaIsPOssible
Even councilor can't resign in Nigeria, pm of Bangladesh did the right thing.
If Nigeria was working, I think we would have not even heard of this call hungry protest
Sewing foreign flags is not a crime
Waving foreign flags in a national protest and inviting foreign countries to take over is treason .
When they used it for anarchy the the source will arrested.
Just you are saying an herbalist fortifying arm robbers is not a crime
We are so disappointed with you guys on that table, saying they're sponsored. It's like repeating what Tinubu said in his speech. Again it's hunger and rebellion against a deaf and dumb government
We do not want military intervention please
If my memory could serves me correctly, I remember watching Sen. Dino Melaye telling his fellow senators during the plenary under Buhari's regime that what the government is doing to her citizens 🙄 their will be a time when those citizens will revolt and the government won't be able to control their angers 😮😮😮. The time us now 🙄
Yes all the old old men politicians must go, we tired of the bad and wicked and evil politics in Ghana, Nigeria and Africa Amen
Hopefully Nigerians will soon celebrate the resignation of President Tinubu 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘💓😘😘
Thank you for this report. There is a saying, "The cure for democracy is more democracy."
The unrest going on in Nigeria over the fuel subsidy, poverty, and hunger was predictable from the start of the Tinubu administration. Foreign investment and loans are not the path forward for a prosperous, developed Nigeria for all Nigerians.
Unfortunately, Nigeria has reached the tipping point index which historically triggers social unrest. When the majority of people reach a certain level of poverty, suffering, joblessness and hunger social stability is upset.
Socialism, Communism won't work on the African continent. They have not worked in Russia, China or anywhere else. The economic development in China since the opening up of China to the West in the early 1970s is responsible for China's development, but only to the extent of introducing technology and innovation, not colonialism or neocolonialism.
Wealth inequality is man made. And, people can unmake it for the prosperity of everyone. Where there is a will, there is a way.
See how military mem are rhis friendly to northern protesters
This is surely political. Their brother Buhari ruled for 8 years of hardship and there wasn't something like this. If half of this happen in Southwest, the army would have opened fire on protesters.

The tailor arrested, that's very good. The military must investigate this, according to Rufai. That's very good also. But the investigation will hit the rock if it reveals a big politician behind it. It will sink and end there.
Wonderful shall never end
when it comes to the north, the security operatives always behave themselves...😊😊
Tinubu was quick to summon an emergency meeting of security agencies because it concerns him but was not quick to speak to Nigerians even after many calls before the protest. What a poor way of running a nation.
I love Nigeria 🇳🇬 one Africa one people
Plz what exactly is the tailor's offence?
Go to Army HeadQuarters in Abuja and ask Chief of Defence Staff (CDS)

Only the people who feels hungry know what hunger is. 😢 None at arise news nor politicians. Power to the people. The hungry must be fed. Its the will of the almighty. BLACK AFRICAN UNITY
North North North never disappoint us with their comedies 😂😂😂
When someone was saying that hunger has united the North and South together in this protest I quickly responded to the person that it's either he is ignorant of the way Northern political class operate or he is just being excited. I said it categorically on day one that the protest in the North is purely political and has nothing to do with hunger or bad governance. Unfolding events has proved me right. Those who lost in the power game of 2023 general election especially in the North are now fighting back or else how do you explain the raising of foreign flags and calling for the military in this equation. The poor youth of the North are again been used as fodder to feed political interest.
It was the same Northern youths that the APC used to steal power. Whatever APC gets from the North, considering the suffering they've brought to the people, they must not be pitied.
@@Ultimate_gist the very same reason they intentionally keep them impoverished and uneducated to carry out their ills. It's a really sad fate for them and for Nigeria as a whole

How many South Easterns attend that president security meeting 😂😂😂. Una dey play
It is only he that gave you a gift that can easily take it back from you....I speak in parable
Carrying foreign flag in Nigeria and inviting foreign government? This is evil.
Rufai the military may not be the best option but I am 💯 certain it's better than these executive, legislative and judicial form of "independent" government
In Nigeria, it's so easy to make promises,but redeeming them is the big challenge here.
Indeed Power belongs to the pple if the pple realise it...congratulations Bangladesh🎉🎉
Our brothers in Northern side of the country.. please need education, a lot of education.., please, the government should invest in education..more.
The federal government should keep their advice to themself, even if the UK is in war I will still prefer it a billion times over Nigeria....
I hope The Nigerian Army is handling protestors in all the other regions the same way they are handling the Kaduna protesters.
The military is not the best. But it reset the bad politician.
So at this time it might be....
Then that flag should be changed.
Tinubu should adress the the problem of nigerians before it is too late. The suffering in Nigeria is too much, so protesters must keep protesting until something positive happen.
The masses is stronger than the government
It was the military flag of Nigeria wrong produced.They were calling for military intervention.
The Constitution of Nigeria does not explicitly prohibit individuals from flying a foreign flag. However, the use of foreign flags is generally regulated under other specific laws and guidelines to ensure respect for national symbols and sovereignty.
The Nigerian Flag and National Symbols Act regulates the use of the Nigerian flag and ensures that national symbols are treated with respect. While this Act primarily focuses on the Nigerian flag, it implicitly suggests that the display of foreign flags should not undermine the respect for national symbols or suggest any form of allegiance to a foreign power over Nigeria.
In practice, flying a foreign flag is typically allowed in certain contexts, such as at foreign embassies, international events, or private properties, as long as it does not contravene any national security laws or imply any disrespect to the Nigerian state.
Cannot build on false promises, and they continue to be broken
A hungry man is an angry man, and an angry man can do the unthinkable. What you see happening is frustration! Even if Russia knows anything about the flags (highly unlikely though), the truth is that they (the Russians) didn't create the hardship, but in a situation like this, any foreign power can exploit the vulnerability to gain influence. The Nigerians are standing up for their right, and I support them as an African. Go Nigeria... All the way from🇨🇲
You don’t need Putin and Russia to protest against bad governance. Effect the change yourselves.
Thank you for your great analyses
This woman is such a beautiful woman 👠
That’s not Russian flag, that flag is Nigerian military flag.. our so called leaders and military don’t even know their flag again.. Nigerian government is confused 😢
Could Easterners have called for another military junta and flown the Russian flag without the soldiers decimating thousands of their youth?
Those were underage children and under the amnesty convention international rule,the army can't deliberately hurt children. How many children has the army killed in South East? NONE
So let's speak intelligently

Just as they respected the Geneva Convention of 1948 during the 1966-70 genocide, yes?
That was also why they staged a medieval siege of civilians killing 3 million women and children
by starvation and even shot down Red Cross planes.
Professional liar! Promise and fail! What is wrong with APC?
I feeled trapped in this country
Dancing and spraying foreign currency is not offence but flying foreign flags in Nigeria is offence. Endbad governance
Nigeria cannot escape from international politics.
This recent protest in the country is a symbolic area that government at all levels needs to handle urgently. Areas like: eradication of mass poverty, illiteracy, deprivation, food security and security.
Mele Kyari has overstayed his welcome on the premise that he has not delivered on his promises of repairing the refineries. For a GMD of NNPCL that assumed his current position more than 5 years ago, he has grossly underperformed in that role and should not be kept any longer. Public office holders should only be alllwed to stay longer on any post when they have delivered excellence and quality service to the national cause and Nigerian masses. He has overseen the regime of corrupt petrol subsidy heist and crisis, the worst conduit for sleaze and public funds embezzlement. Mele Kyari should be removed.
Wetin you want de military 🪖 to say. Dem dey happy inside - dey want it to be obvious before dem come under de citizen mandate.
@Abati I would really be glad to meet this your morning ringing tune @ojinika Oji Okpe .
How is Kyari still in that role as GMD.
Something to note about flags is not only the colour but also the positioning of the colours.
The Nigerian Army Flag starts with the RED, then BLUE, next is WHITE and GREEN. On the other hand, the Russian Flag starts with the WHITE, BLUE and RED. The flag flown in Kaduna is Russian. Nigerian Government need to find out the true intension.
More time should be allocated for this program.
Let's all go our separate ways and save lives. It's better that way and we will respect each others boundaries. All hail Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa NOW!
We should leave Russia out of this. For me I don't believe anybody is using the protesters. I believe they are being, as in protests, spontaneously creative or confusing the military flag as Dr. Abati has suggested. But why have Nigerians suddenly become apprehensive of flying other countries' flags. Why has it suddenly become criminal.
No education
Lol
They didn't know the implication of sitting on an armored car
They were so happy doing it
It is ‘African Spring’, definitely!!!
End bad governance in Nigeria!
This is a sign that apc and tinubu have finally destroyed themselves and Nigeria. Why? bcos he is less concern about Nigerian needs. If he was having our interests at heart we will never get here. but is sign far too long for all of to think deeply
Good
