            Protesters at Abuja City Gate


  Abuja protesters marching from MKO Abiola stadium to Eagle Square. They refused to use the stadium allotted to them, but insist on using Eagle square at the city centre. 
Eagle square is an official significant venue often used for state events. It hosted inauguration events, independence day anniversaries, armed forces remembrance days, party primaries, etc. Besides, it is very close to Three Arms Zone comprising Aso Rock and Aso Villa, presidential office and residences and the National Assembly Complex. 
Though the official authorities refuse to give permission, that is where the protesters insist they will use. They are aggrieved because pro government protests were reportedly held there days ago. It's not helped by the news that some protesters were tear gassed by the police at Eagle Square.


However, (above) Adamawa, home state of opposition presidential candidate and former VP Atiku Abubakar, held a peaceful protests supporting the Tinubu administration and his policies. Earlier, Atiku had voiced support for the protests, even urged the president to dialogue with the organisers. 
Huge surprise here. 


Another pro government protests,under the aegis #SayNoToProtests rallied at Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.

The Three Musketeers: Seeing no events around them, three friends decided to stage theirs...

Some states like Enugu, Kigi, Akwa Ibom and Cross River, are unbothered

American rapper, Wiz Khalifa is one American rapper who has made a name for himself in the music industry as a cool, easy going star who shun any form of drama but is full of surprises. When he met and married model Amber Rose, it took everyone by surprise. Moreso, when before people knew he was dating Rose, she was pregnant.
