Foreign Affairs / Zelensky Confirms Ukrainian Troops Are Fighting Inside Russian Territory by abc115: 6:53pm On Aug 11
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed Kyiv’s troops are fighting inside Russia, days into the surprise Ukrainian cross-border incursion into Russia’s Kursk region that has become a major embarrassment for the Kremlin.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV9XYUUsPc0?si=rthtPteEZmekqiAk

“Ukraine is proving that it really knows how to restore justice and guarantees exactly the kind of pressure that is needed – pressure on the aggressor,” Zelensky said in his nightly address to the nation on Saturday, thanking “every unit” of Ukraine’s armed forces for making it possible “to push the war out into the aggressor’s territory.”

The statement marked the first time Zelensky officially acknowledged the incursion, which took by surprise both Russia and Ukraine’s allies. Ukrainian officials have for days remained tight-lipped about the operation, even as photographs, videos and firsthand reports of Ukrainian soldiers inside Russia started to emerge

Education / NELFUND: Varsity Students Celebrate, Stock Foodstuffs With ₦‎20,000 Loan by abc115: 1:38pm On Aug 11
Some university students who recently benefitted from the N20,000 stipend paid by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund have begun celebrating the receipt of the money.

While some took to social media to share their surprise, others narrated how they spent the money on foodstuffs. A few said it took the burden of care off their parents.

Financial constraint is a major challenge facing many students of public tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

The lack of funds has kept many young people out of school, as their parents or guardians cannot afford to sponsor their tertiary education.

Politics / One Million-Man March Flops, Hunger Protest Quietly Ends by abc115: 6:40am On Aug 11
The one million-man march planned by leaders of the #EndBadGovernance protest flopped on Saturday across the country due to low turnout.

In different parts of Nigeria, protesters shunned their usual meeting points, which had been occupied by security agents.

Organisers of the protest had said the march would signal the end of the 10-day protest against economic hardship.

In preparation for the march, security agencies deployed operatives into cities as roadblocks were mounted.


Low turnout in Abuja

The security situation was the same on Saturday as the police mounted barricades on all roads leading to Eagle Square, the venue where the protesters intended to converge for the protest.

Although protests were held in the Lokogoma and Apo areas of the FCT, the turnout was noticeably lower compared to previous events.

Foreign Affairs / Ukraine Embarrasses Putin With Surprise Assault On Southern Russia by abc115: 8:52pm On Aug 10
Vladimir Putin fixed the commander in chief of Russia’s military, General Valery Gerasimov, with a cold stare and a look of exasperation. The video, released Wednesday by the Kremlin, showed the Russian president was not happy with news from the southern region of Kursk.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1Xcfi7eudM?si=aJFsFIlstWwxaEvj

At that moment, hundreds of Ukrainian troops, backed by tanks and protected by air defenses, were advancing into the region. Russian soldiers were surrendering; hundreds of Russian civilians in and around the town of Sudzha were fleeing with anything they could grab.

In two-and-a-half years of warfare, it was an unprecedented Ukrainian incursion into Russia. Putin told the Kremlin meeting that it was “another major provocation” by Kyiv. The region’s acting governor declared a state of emergency, describing the situation as “very difficult.”

Above all, it was humiliating for a Russian state that prides itself on protecting the motherland.

The Kursk attack was an audacious and counter-intuitive move from the Ukrainian military, what one analyst describes as “doing the least obvious thing.”

Despite steadily losing ground in eastern Donetsk, it chose to send elements of experienced brigades into Russian territory, with the apparent goals of embarrassing the Kremlin and forcing the Russian Defense Ministry to redeploy resources and providing the home front with a much-needed morale boost.

Lumarstone:
This government is notorious in deceiving the public.

What is 20,000 as a loan to students when the Said amount is off no value based on the market value of goods and services thisdays?

Will the amount you are applying as loan stand for school fees or house rent for a year?
It is not compulsory. Meanwhile, 20k is monthly upkeep stipends for students.... while the school fee is paid directly to the school .

Politics / Hunger Protest Loses Momentum As Protesters Shun Abuja Venue by abc115: 4:54am On Aug 04
BREAKING: Hunger protest loses momentum as protesters shun Venues

Conveners of the protest had demanded to use Eagle Square for convergence but they were denied access.

However, on day one of the protest, they headed for Eagle Square where the police dispersed them with teargas after hours of resistance.

Security forces also had tough time controlling different groups which blocked roads and lit bonfire across Abuja while the protest held peacefully at the stadium.

As against the situation on the first two days of the protest, not a single protester was sighted at the Abuja Stadium when Daily Trust visited on Saturday morning.

Policemen and journalists at the stadium just stood around observing the situation.

“Them don go do weekend,” said a policeman who mocked the protesters while chatting with his colleagues.

When our reporter contacted one of the organisers of the protest in Abuja, he said they were at Berger Roundabout, but not a single protester was sighted there.

Our reporter got back to him after checking Berger Roundabout and this time around, he said they were having a strategic meeting inside the stadium.

Just at the time of going to press, some supporters of the protest posted a video where about 25 people were seen dancing in a group.

“Day 3 Protest in Abuja, Protesters are already gathering in their numbers!” an X user who tweeted via @DAMADENUGA captioned the post.

It is unclear when the one minute, twenty-five seconds video, which captured Deji Adeyanju, one of the lead organisers, was recorded, as our reporter took photographs and videos of the current situation at the stadium.

In his address, Agundi commended President Tinubu for his leadership and policies, which he said had positively impacted the nation’s economic growth.

The rally was a significant show of support for President Tinubu, and the letter delivery was a symbolic gesture of Northern Nigeria.
