I Don Sleep Very Well and I don Get Better Breakfast after I don Cancel the Independence Parade - President Tinubu

 


President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday said the cancellation of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day military parade gave him the rare chance to rest well and enjoy a good breakfast.


The Federal Government had earlier announced the cancellation of the October 1 parade, saying it did not diminish the significance of the anniversary. The notice was issued by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.


Speaking at the unveiling of the renovated Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts in Lagos, Tinubu said the evening event provided a refreshing break from the usual independence-day parade.


“Happy 65th Independence Anniversary. This has broken the monotony of the march-past and parade. By cancelling this programme, I was able to have a good sleep, a nice breakfast and wait for this evening. And the evening is well spent,” he said.


The President, who arrived at the venue at 6:24 p.m., was joined by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II, and Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka.


The Centre, formerly the National Arts Theatre, was renamed by Tinubu in July 2024 in honour of Soyinka. The renovation was funded and overseen by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Bankers’ Committee.


Tinubu described Soyinka as one of the world’s greatest assets, praising his contributions to freedom and nation-building. “It couldn’t have been anything else. I know you will not disobey this president. I said it has to be Wole Soyinka Centre,” Tinubu stated.

    There's a BIG NEWS for Facebook Creators By Glen Dave Starting from August 31, 2025, Facebook will be replacing its current mon£tization program with a new Content Mon€tization Program.  My people, these are what they are changing:  1. So instead of 10,000 followers, you’ll now only need 5,000 followers to monetize.  2. Fact-checker is gone: No more content takedowns from fact-check tools. I'm very excited about this one because these Fact-checkers are something else, they can take down your Content for no reason. Most of them working with Facebook are Nigerians oo.

MONEY IS INDEED THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, VDM REPLIES PHYNA

Image
  VDM REPLIES PHYNA: Money is indeed the root of all evil. Immediately I saw the list of the things Phyna wanted from Dangote, I smiled.  N1billion was at the top, scholarship for her sister's kids, her sister flown abroad amongst others, I just shook my head. If I had made it to the meeting, we will not speak about money.  We would request that her sister be flown abroad first, then scholarship and Dangote should place Ruth on Salary for life. She probably didn't like my body language when she showed me the list and when I asked that the bikeman should be added.  What secret is there about your family matter that has been on blogs since last week? Is your sister having two kids something to hide in a case like this? Should that be a secret to the public? Why didn't you tell the public you demanded for N1billion from Dangote. You only came back to cry to the public when things didn't go your way
