Nigerian students in London protest against Tinubu anti-poor policies

On Saturday, October 5, 2024, a coalition of Nigerian and foreign students gathered outside the Nigerian High Commission in London to demand that President Bola Tinubu repeal his “anti-poor policies” and withdraw charges against individuals arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protests.

The demonstration was spearheaded by a group of socialist students operating under the name ‘Fight for Socialism.’

The protesters, consisting of both Black and White students, carried placards that read messages like “Drop all charges and release protesters” and “Reverse all anti-poor policies.”

Footage from the event shows the crowd chanting, “When I say Tinubu, you say thief,” expressing their frustration over the government’s handling of #EndBadGovernance protesters.

Their demands encompass not only the release of those in detention but also an end to policies that they argue negatively affect the poorest citizens of Nigeria.

The protest occurred at the Nigerian High Commission located at WC2N 5BX, London.

“When I say Tinubu, you say thief. Tinubu, thief; Tinubu, thief,” they repeatedly chanted.

It is worth noting that Tinubu recently traveled to London for a two-week vacation.

MKO Abiola’s children fight over inheritance, accuse Kola of sitting on ‘willed’ £650,000

Despite dying nearly three decades ago, the children of renowned businessman and philanthropist, Moshood Abiola, are still enmeshed in deeply troubling family feud mostly occasioned by the sharing of their father’s enormous empire.

In recent weeks, the children have been in the news over the proceeds of shady oil deals as some of the children shortchanged others and cornered what should ordinarily be for all the children.

The latest in the perennial family row of Abiola’s children is the allegation of inheritance theft and treachery levelled by Abdulmumuni Abiola, against his elder brother, Kola.

Mumuni alleged that Kola of refused to give Abiola’s children their inheritance despite carrying out blood tests.

Abdulmumuni revealed Abiola willed £650,000 to his first four wives, but Kola cornered the money refused to release the money to them.

He made the revelation on ‘Mic On Podcast’ hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, on Saturday,

Abdulmumuni said: “We did blood tests so we had a list of qualifying children. If you look at the will and you see how systematic it is, he names the wives and he apportions the money to them.

“I would like to give you some information on that. My mum was number two (Kudirat Olayinka Abiola). I think she was apportioned £150,000.

“At the time, Kola had sighted the fact that my mum died before my dad died, and because of that, British law would not allow him to release the £150,000 to us.

“He also said that his mum too is dead and he didn’t get the £300,000 for his mother. But you are the one sharing the money, so it’s odd…If he wanted to, he could have given us the money.

“Not to mention my mum’s apartment in the UK, before we knew anything, Kola had sold it without telling my brothers or my sister anything about it.

“So you can see that they were systematic to try to impoverish my mum’s side of the family. And for that reason, I don’t think I will be able to forgive him (Kola).”
