SHUT UP! FORUM TELLS AMBODE ANTAGONISTS.


The members of the so-called Lagos Peace Movement (LPM) and the Lagos Youth Vanguard (LYV) have been carpeted for their anti-Ambode stance. Both amorphous groups believed to be a product of sponsorship by some vindictive and retrogressive politician, recently staged an unnecessary demonstration at the Lagos State House of Assembly demanding for the probe of Ambode’s administration. Their grouse which also came under question and also treated with disdain by the House and broad section of lagosians whose lives were touched positively by the Ambode administration drew the ire of the Northern Youths operating under the aegis of the Northern Youths Forum (NYM) who has now challenged them to a duel. Answering questions in Kaduna from our reporters, the Forum’s National Secretary Malam Nuhu Ishiaku described their actions as largely misguided and diversionary. “These people should stop being teleguided; they should focus more cementing the unity of the Yoruba’s rather than fan disunity”, he stated. Malam Ishaiku posited that it was a wrong for the so-called renegades to allow themselves to be used as cannon fodders to impugn an exemplary character like Mr Ambode who devoted all his efforts in making Lagos a decent place. “Ambode is a complete gentleman and we in the North have full respect for him; he has proved his mettle and no matter the attempt to disparage him, he will continue to receive our support”, Ishiaku pointed out. The Forum boss expressed confidence that Mr Ambode will soon bounce back as the nation need people like him to move forward. Malam Nuhu advised the masquerade’s to channel their energy in helping to promote peaceful co-existence and stop chasing shadows. “Nobody is going to probe Ambode and we stand by our words”, Nuhu said. The All Progressive Congress, Lagos State branch are however non-committal preferring instead to pursue a different course. Ambode has remained silent since his handover and his popularity has undoubtedly soared.

Sahara Reporters, Premium Times, The Cable and Modern Journalism

  Journalism has continued to evolve since the days of veterans like Professors Alfred Opubor, Onoura Nwuneli, Ralph Akinfeleye, Adidi Uyo, Idowu Sobowale, and other greats, not to mention the shining lights of flawless prose writing like Dan Agbese, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Muhammed, Dele Gowa, and not least, Olatunji Dare. But the entrance of Sahara Reporters appears to deviate from those widely held pragmatic principles of decency. Stories by our reporters In those days, the Department of Mass Communication of the University of Lagos was very hot and remains so to date. Exciting lecturers in the mold of Dr Adidi Uyo, Ralph Akinfeleye, and Idowu Sobowale made teachings very robust and thirsty to listeners. Students learnt the trade and picked up fast. They taught the tenets of practical journalism exhaustively and left no stone unturned. They made journalism so sweet that students were always hungry to learn more; the thrills were such that even the 13 points cut-off mark for entry ...

Trouble looms over Court order seeking Exhumation of corpse of prominent Igbo Family

  A recent court order widely regarded as an assault on customs and decency, seeking the exhumation of the corpse of a prominent Igbo chief, is largely seen as a misuse of judicial authority, and fear the backlash may lead to disruption of communal peace. By Clement Ebaku and Lucy Okulougbo reporting from Owerri. Tension has escalated surrounding the Amuchienwa family following a contentious order issued on 5 December 2025 by Justice I.O.

The directive, made nearly two months after the burial, has sparked widespread outrage, with many describing it as a shocking affront to the dignity of the deceased. Imolites are questioning the circumstances under which the ruling emerged, with reactions trailing a media release by Ms. Chinyere Igwegbe (formerly Amuchienwa), the late Chief’s former wife, whose marriage ended more than 32 years ago.
