Mr Bean

The driver of the Reliant is the primary antagonist of the 2015 animated episode, Car Wars. In this episode, the mystery driver becomes obsessed with getting his first revenge on Mr. Bean after being run off the road yet again. Mr. Bean is immature, self-absorbed, extremely competitive and brings various abnormal schemes and contrivances to everyday tasks. He rarely speaks, and when he does, it is normally only a few mumbled words which are in a comically low-pitched voice. Mr. Bean often seems unmindful of basic aspects of the way the world works, and the programme typically features his attempts at what would generally be considered simple activities, such as going for a swim, using a television set, redecorating, or attending church. Mr. Bean – In between sketches, Bean is seen driving to his next destination.

Mr. Bean often seems unmindful of basic aspects of the way the world works, and the programme typically features his attempts at what would generally be considered simple activities, such as going for a swim, using a television set, redecorating, or attending church.
He was created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, portrayed by Atkinson, and made his first appearance on television in the pilot episode, which first aired on 1 January 1990.
During these intervals, he is seen running the Reliant off the road from behind, from in front and bumping it out of its parking space at the church.
At the end of the episode, the Reliant is seen about to make a left turn at a T-intersection, but quickly hurries off in the other direction after seeing Bean crash his Mini.
Mr. Bean is immature, self-absorbed, extremely competitive and brings various abnormal schemes and contrivances to everyday tasks.

This vehicle happens to be the Reliant, which topples over after clearing Bean’s exit. This is MrBen the only Reliant gag in the original series to be of plot significance. In the first episode, almost every sketch began with Mr. Bean and the Reliant Regal.

In this episode, the mystery driver becomes obsessed with getting his first revenge on Mr. Bean after being run off the road yet again.
These opening sequences were initially in black and white in episodes two and three, and were intended by the producers to show his status as an “ordinary man cast into the spotlight”.
At the end of episodes three and six he is also shown being sucked right back up into the sky in the respective background scenes (black scene in episode 3 and street scene in episode 6).
However, later episodes showed Mr. Bean dropping from the night sky in a deserted London street against the backdrop of St Paul’s Cathedral.

In an homage, the aliens send him back home in a beam of light and music similar to the opening of the original live-action Mr. Bean series. Mr. Bean is a fictional character from the British comedy television programme Mr. Bean, its animated continuation, and two live-action feature films. He was created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, portrayed by Atkinson, and made his first appearance on television in the pilot episode, which first aired on 1 January 1990.

Exposing Jackson Ude’s Web of Deceits By Kareen Goulding

Exposing Jackson Ude’s Web of Deceits

By Kareen Goulding

We inhabit a media landscape where falsehoods are skillfully manipulated to masquerade as verifiable facts, unchecked propaganda is employed as a tool for character assassination, and opportunistic individuals like Jackson Ude, notorious for peddling fake news, resort to unscrupulous tactics such as blackmail, mischief, and propaganda to secure financial gain and satiate their self-interest. These actions undermine the fundamental objective of effective communication, which is to convey accurate information and achieve a desired outcome based on verifiable facts. Instead, they create a false narrative and distorted history, perpetuating misinformation that is ingested as fact by an unsuspecting future generation.

Throughout human history, communication has played a vital role in shaping social existence, even in primitive societies. Consequently, it is essential to preserve the integrity and values of communication, ensuring that the information disseminated is accurate, unbiased, and serves the public good. This may involve exposing wrongdoing and promoting truthfulness, thereby maintaining the sanctity of communication.

A medium that inflicts harm, devastation, and provokes irate phone calls and libelous lawsuits is unlikely to endure. Ethical journalism is characterized by objectivity, fairness, factual accuracy, and a commitment to balancing facts with truths, as well as presenting diverse perspectives. Fundamental principles of good reportage dictate that journalists must refrain from fabricating information, ensuring that their reporting is not a product of imagination or motivated by personal gain, such as financial need. This expectation is particularly pertinent for individuals seeking to establish a reputable career and legacy in journalism and activism, unlike opportunistic blackmailers like Jackson Ude. Genuine journalists must adhere to these hallmarks, cultivating a trustworthy and respected voice, rather than succumbing to unethical practices that compromise the integrity of their profession.

In the past, Jackson Ude has consistently employed a survival tactic of making unsubstantiated allegations against various individuals within President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inner circle, including the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, and a former APC presidential aspirant and philanthropist, Mr. Jack Rich. Therefore, it came as no surprise when Ude recently made another baseless allegation, as he has a history of using his media platform to engage in destructive behavior, besmirching the reputations of influential individuals who cross his path.

Ude’s modus operandi involves reporting that is devoid of factual basis, instead indulging in groundless speculation and dementia. His brand of journalism is an absurd and characterless form of gutter and blackmail reporting, reliant on a stockpile of falsehoods, obnoxious, and villainous cheap gossip. This approach is exemplified by his tendency to prioritize sensationalism over fact-based reporting, thereby tarnishing the reputations of those he targets.

Jackson Ude has recently disseminated another installment of his fabricated narrative, opportunistically exploiting the ongoing #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest to resurrect his waning notoriety on social media and garner renewed validation and relevance. His motivations are twofold: to seek financial compensation from a platform based on the impression metrics generated by his post, and to revive his flagging popularity.

In his latest claims, Ude alleges that former Governors Yahaya Bello of Kogi State and Nasir Elrufai of Kaduna State have been clandestinely sponsoring the Northern protests, orchestrating and financing them from the Niger Republic. He further asserts that they commissioned the production and distribution of Russian flags in the North, insinuating a sinister plot to destabilize the region.

Ude’s spurious claims continue with the accusation that both former Governors are colluding with the Nigerien Military Junta, led by General Abdourahamane Tchiani, to undermine the stability of Northern Nigeria and, by extension, the entire country. He alleges that they are secretly engaging with military officers through intermediaries, including Minister of State, Defence, Mohammed Bello Matawalle, with the ultimate goal of toppling the government. Additionally, Ude claims that Matawalle and Usman Shugaba, the Chief Personal Security Officer (CPSO) to President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are providing sensitive information to Yahaya Bello and Elrufai, further perpetuating the alleged conspiracy.

It is perplexing to consider whether Jackson Ude’s vocalizations regarding the purported threats surrounding President Tinubu stem from a genuine concern for the administration or an ulterior motive. One might question whether Ude has regained mental clarity, enabling him to accurately identify potential threats to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

However, a closer examination reveals that Ude’s actions are, in fact, a deliberate attempt to undermine and destabilize President Tinubu’s administration. His strategy involves manipulating the President into perceiving allies as adversaries and embracing enemies as confidants. Nevertheless, these allegations remain entirely baseless, devoid of even a shred of evidence.

This development only serves to reinforce the notion that Jackson Ude is a mercenary tool, exploited by those willing to pay for his services, with the aim of subverting democratic principles. His efforts to compromise the nation’s internal security have proven futile, and, ironically, the unity among Nigerians continues to strengthen, transcending political divisions. In essence, Ude’s machinations have been exposed as a desperate attempt to sow discord and chaos, but his endeavors have ultimately backfired, highlighting his role as a pawn in the hands of those seeking to undermine the country’s stability.

It is pertinent to highlight that Jackson Ude’s propensity for blackmail is extensively documented, with a plethora of instances demonstrating his unscrupulous nature. Notably, his attempt to extort N200 million from Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala by disseminating fabricated news stands as a testament to his dubious integrity. The subsequent legal action taken by Okonjo-Iweala, resulting in a victorious court ruling, further underscores Ude’s lack of credibility.

Ude’s history of targeting high-profile individuals for extortion is a recurring pattern, as evidenced by Abubakar Ismaila Isa’s lawsuit against him for publishing defamatory content. This raises fundamental questions about the trustworthiness of an individual with such a questionable track record.

Furthermore, Ude’s credibility suffered a significant blow when he impersonated the NYPF coordinator to call for bogus probes, prompting the NYPF itself to disavow any association with him. This incident exemplifies Ude’s serial impersonation and blackmail tactics.

The courts have repeatedly restrained Ude from publishing false articles, underscoring his penchant for utilizing fake news as a tool for blackmail. The consistency of this pattern, evident in his dealings with Okonjo-Iweala and Abubakar Ismaila Isa, raises a critical question: Why would any discerning citizen take Jackson Ude’s allegations seriously, given his demonstrable history of dishonesty and extortion?

The Jackson Ude case serves as a poignant reminder of the media’s darker underbelly and the potential harm that can arise from unsubstantiated allegations. The recent smear campaign is a prime example of this phenomenon. However, as is often the case, the President remains unflappable in the face of such baseless attacks.

In reality, Ude is driven by a singular mission: to engage in frivolous and self-destructive controversies designed to sully the reputations of public officials and citizens who refuse to capitulate to the demands of powerful vested interest groups. These groups, accustomed to getting their way, resort to mudslinging when their expectations are not met.

Ude’s publishing endeavors are characterized by a glaring lack of decorum and mental stability, with quackery seemingly serving as his guiding vision, mission, and central theme. In this modern era, no discerning intellectual should lend credence to someone as unsophisticated as Jackson Ude.

Ultimately, Nigeria’s unity remains unshakeable, impervious to the machinations of those who seek to divide and conquer through deceit and misinformation. The nation’s resilience and cohesion will continue to thrive, undeterred by the likes of Ude and his ilk.

DOKUBO-ASARI IS NOT AGAINST PROTEST BUT ANARCHY -Arch Tom Inko- Tariah

DOKUBO-ASARI IS NOT AGAINST PROTEST BUT ANARCHY
-Arch Tom Inko- Tariah

Arch Tom Inko- Tariah, President of the
DWELLERS OF COASTAL AND WATERWAYS COMMUNITIES OF AFRICA (DCWCA) has described as untrue and mischievous representations in the media space that Alhaji Mujahid Abubakar Dokubo-Asari, champion of Resource control and minority rights is against the present protests in Nigeria.
According to Arch Tariah, mischief makers on social media cut, pasted and edited a lengthy speech given by the Alabo Edi Abali of Kalabari Kingdom at a recent NDDC event in Port Harcourt to give it a different connotation.

In a statement issued by Arch Tom Inko Tariah says claims suggesting that Alhaji Mujahid Abubakar Dokubo-Asari, the prominent advocate for minority rights in the Niger Delta is wrong, he stressed that Dokubo-Asari known for his lifelong dedication to fighting for the people cannot change at this stage of his life,

“what he is actually against is anarchy and any attempts to overthrow an elected government through a coup.”

Tariah highlighted Dokubo-Asari’s unwavering commitment to standing by the people and fighting for justice and equality throughout his career. He noted that while Dokubo-Asari may have expressed concerns about the potential for violence and chaos during the protests, his stance is rooted in a desire to uphold democratic principles and prevent any destabilization of the country.
The full video of his speech is hereby included with the transcript.

” Let me tell you something. Don’t pretend about it. We are all sitting here peacefully. It will be good for you to visit Liberia, visit Somalia…visit Venezuela. I was in Libya, I was a friend of Ghaddafi, I lived in Libya. Libya was paradise. Today Libya is hell-fire. Ninety percent of those who led the anarchy against Ghaddafi are all dead.
Let nobody decieve you that there will be a peaceful protest. It’s not a protest. It’s a call to anarchy. Have you read the ten point demand? A change of government, a change of constitution, and a change of this and that. Is that demand for good governance? That is a coup and we will resist it.
People have been hungry and this is not the first time. Nobody is happy that people are hungry. We are all working so that the burden on the shoulder of the people will be lifted and carried away.
The President has done this. The President is doing this. He is not doing that. When a government comes to power, we seize to be political party members. We seize to be PDP or APC or YPP or any other political party. We all now have a party called Nigeria. Party Nigeria, that’s what we are and we must all work, no religion says you must pray for your government to fail. Anywhere you see a small thing for your government to fail, immediately you jump in, the government must fail . This government will not fail. This government will stand. We might have differences. We must tell those in government that if you are in government, you must not use your power in government to suppress people, to cause anarchy.
There are people in government and say we will deal with you. But na me dey tell you say you no fit deal with me. So those who think they can deal with us should not spoil the government of Ahmed Bola Tinubu. Me, I have known Ahmed Bola Tinubu, I know him to his bedroom. And I know there is no President that has come to this country that is like Ahmed Bola Tinubu. All of you know I don’t flatter people. In fact, I specialize in abusing people. President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Sammy Ugbuku and Dennis Otauru and others were in the trenches with us. This is the first time that a President that is one of us is in Aso Rock and that is why we must support him because we know he is dealing with people who do not understand what we went through and what we are. We have paid our price from June 12 till today. We have gone to prison, we have been underground, we have been buried alive. We have every right to earn our respect. And we are telling you, don’t go .
What they want to come and do is to blow pipelines, to intercept trucks, trucking. To intercept barging, barges. You heard what happened in Imo State yesterday where they killed police officers, that is what they want to do and we must resist them. We must not allow them to bring their anarchy here, but if you get stronghead,you bring am, I no be Tinubu, I no dey government, I no be Chief of Army Staff, I no be IG of Police, if you do anyhow, you go see anyhow. Don’t bring your protest here. The protest does not concern us. And anywhere you are doing your protest, I dey there and you are doing your protest abd I know your protest will be a threat to me, I will be a threat to you. That is it. I am not going to romance my words. I am not going to do si si si with you. I am not a sisi. My name is Mujahid Dokubo-Asari and I am going to live up to my name and I will stand firm. I am not doing it because Bola Ahmed Tinubu will give me anything. I am doing it be because I believe if I don’t do it, my life will be in danger, the lives of my children will be in danger and the lives of my compatriots, all of you who are here will also be in danger. It is wrong for us to be part of or even conceive this protest. Those who have lost elections should prepare for 2027. Thank you.”

Tariah added,
“Alhaji Mujahid Abubakar Dokubo-Asari has always been a champion for the rights of the marginalized communities in the Niger Delta and beyond. His focus has been on addressing systemic injustices and promoting peaceful resolutions to grievances,” Tariah stated. “It is crucial to understand that his concerns lie not with the legitimate grievances of the protesters but with the dangers of anarchy and attempts to subvert the democratic process through unconstitutional means.”

Tariah emphasized the need to differentiate between peaceful protests and actions that could lead to violence or threaten the stability of the country. He underscored Dokubo-Asari’s advocacy for a strategic, organized approach to effecting change, rather than resorting to chaos or lawlessness that could undermine the progress made in advancing the rights of all Nigerians.

“Alhaji Mujahid Abubakar Dokubo-Asari’s stance against anarchy and a coup should be viewed in the context of his deep-seated commitment to the welfare and future of all Nigerians, especially those who have long been marginalized. His position reflects a dedication to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that democratic institutions remain intact,” Tariah clarified.

As Nigeria continues to grapple with the multifaceted challenges facing the country, voices like Alhaji Mujahid Abubakar Dokubo-Asari’s play a crucial role in fostering dialogue, promoting understanding, and advocating for peaceful solutions. By engaging in constructive discourse and upholding the values of justice, equality, and democracy, they contribute to building a more just and inclusive society for all.

Doguwa Fires Back at Abdulmumini, Calls Kwankwaso ‘Grandfather of Insults’

Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream) and leader of the Northern Caucus, has responded to Rep Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa’s warning against insulting former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

In a statement, Doguwa described Kwankwaso as the “grandfather of insults” and said he respects him despite their political differences.

He stated that Kwankwaso’s denigrating comments about the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership triggered his cautioning.

“I have been in the House of Representatives since Jibrin was in school. I, therefore, expect him to respect me the way he wants me to respect his godfather, Kwankwaso,” Doguwa said.

“That Hon. Jibrin was never my mate and cannot match my sterling legislative experience, which dwarfs his in all forms.”

Doguwa also urged Kwankwaso to respect other leaders and stop inciting youths into taking the law into their own hands.

He recalled a viral video where Kwankwaso abused APC leaders in Kano state, calling them “Banzaye” (stupid people).

“It was based on that; I responded by calling him to order,” Doguwa said.

“I won elections to the House of Representatives seven times – polls starting from July 1992 when Professor Humphrey Nwosu was the chief electoral umpire.

“My constituents, by the Grace of Allah SWT, have continued to vote for me overwhelmingly to represent them, and by His grace, I have not disappointed them, and I won’t, Insha Allah.”

Doguwa expressed confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and urged Nigerians to exercise patience and give him sustained support.

“President Tinubu-led administration is working hard and will continue to do its very best to discharge its democratic duties for the benefit of all Nigerians,” he said.

Planned Nationwide Protests: Adobokashi For Edo Welfare Initiative, AFEWIN, Offers Advisory Tips To Citizens And Governments

The planned nationwide protest against hunger and hardship slated to take off from August 1, 2024 in Nigeria has caught the attention of *Adobokashi For Edo Welfare Initiative, AFEWIN,* a registered non-partisan advocacy group, seeking improved socio-economic and democratic governance for Edo State.

In an online emergency meeting on Tuesday, July 30, attended by the local and international leadership of the NGO, AFEWIN noted, that the economic situation in Nigeria which also affects the people of Edo State, is “greatly worrisome.”

The NGO emphasized that much as the citizens are at liberty to express their grievances over unfriendly government policies, they should shun untidy arrangements that would inspire hoodlums to hijack the process with likely resultant lose of lives and destruction of property.

A statement issued by AFEWIN Secretary, Mr. Fidelis Anenih stated that the clarification has become imperative in view of the media hype and the frightening dimension the planned protests have taken.

According to the statement, the President of the NGO, Mr. Benson Ehiagwina, a Japan based businessman said: “Nigeria is in the news again and global focus is on Nigeria but for the wrong reason.
“The United States, United Kingdom, and Canada have issued security alerts to their citizens in Nigeria, warning of potential violence during the planned nationwide protests tagged: #EndBadGovernance protest.
“As an NGO, we are worried about what is happening back home in Nigeria.
“We are calling on the federal government of Nigeria to recalibrate its policies to avoid a repeat of what is currently playing out.
“We are also calling on the National Assembly to square up with their oversight responsibilities so that annual budgets can be achieving above 80 percent implementations for the citizens to feel the impacts of their votes.

“While Edo State will not be isolated from this planned protests, our previous advisory to the government and citizens of the State on the basis of sincere commitment to a better Edo, still stands.

“In the planned protests, Edo citizens should endeavour to be different by shunning roadblocks, traffic congestion, physical confrontations, firing of guns, breaking into shops to steal and destruction of both government and private properties,” President Ehiagwina advised.

The NGO however, offered the following cautionary tips
Titled: Advice to the Protesters in Edo State.
It reads:

Maintain Peaceful Intent
Peaceful protest its fundamental human right of the citizens. It is essential to remember the core purpose of your protest. Keep the focus on peaceful expressions of discontent. Non-violence can often lead to more constructive dialogue and change.

Organize Effectively

The protest organizers should ensure they plan the protest thoroughly. Have designated leaders, communicate clear messages, and establish a safe route. Ensure everyone understands that violence or destruction is not acceptable.

Engage with the Media

Utilize media coverage to share the purpose and messages of your protest. Ensure that your narrative focuses on economic hardship and the need for solutions rather than any acts of violence.

Invite Dialogue

If possible, invite government representatives or civil society leaders to engage in discussions during the protest. This could lead to a constructive exchange of ideas and show that your intentions are rooted in seeking solutions.

Educate Participants

Prepare all participants with information about the issues being protested, as well as strategies for de-escalating any potential tensions. Knowledge is a powerful tool.

Document the Process

Consider having legal observers present to document the event, ensuring that any interactions with the police or government officials are recorded. This can help protect protesters’ rights.

Stay United

Foster an atmosphere of solidarity among participants. A unified front communicates strength and purpose, while division can lead to misunderstandings and conflict.

Message to the Government

Listen to the Citizens
It is crucial for the government to actively listen to the concerns of its citizens, especially regarding economic hardship. Taking their grievances seriously is a step towards rebuilding trust and fostering a sense of community.

Engage in Meaningful Dialogue

Establish channels for open communication with protest leaders and community representatives. This can pave the way for collaborative problem-solving that addresses the economic challenges people are facing.

Implement Supportive Policies

Beyond acknowledging the protests, the government should consider implementing policies that directly alleviate economic hardship, such as job creation initiatives, social welfare programs, and addressing inflation.

Demonstrate Empathy

Show understanding and compassion for the struggles faced by ordinary Nigerians. A government that communicates care for its citizens’ welfare will foster loyalty and reduce tensions.

Promote Non-violence

Encourage peaceful dialogue and protest, and assure citizens that they can express their concerns without fear of violence or repression. This will promote a more stable environment for all.

“By adherence to these advisory and fostering a climate of peace and communication, both the protesters and the government can work together towards solutions that benefit everyone,” the NGO stated

ETI Disowns Statement Against Reps Deputy Spokesperson Agbese, Accuses Ex-Members of Impersonation

…Says sack of NNPCL, NMDPRA leadership long overdue

The Energy Transparency Initiative (ETI) has disowned a statement made by individuals claiming to be its representatives, criticizing Hon. Philip Agbese, the Deputy Spokesperson of the Federal House of Representatives.

The group’s President and Secretary, Francis Nedu and Ismaila Bello in a joint statement, revealed that the persons were expelled long ago due to fraudulent activities and other abuses that contravened the group’s objectives.

“We are shocked and dismayed that these individuals would continue to impersonate ETI and make statements that do not reflect our values and mission,” the statement read.

“Their actions are a clear attempt to blackmail and extort money from innocent parties, and we condemn their behaviour in the strongest terms.

“The leadership of ETI is aware that some government agencies have released as huge as $500,000 to the impostors to blackmail Hon. Philip Agbese and other National Assembly members who want sanity in the oil and gas sector.”

The statement expressed support for Hon. Agbese’s claims of deliberate attempts by the Nigerian Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to discredit Dangote Refinery company.

The group said Agbese demonstrated exceptional leadership and courage in “exposing the truth” and applauded his efforts to protect Nigerian entrepreneurs and promote indigenous businesses.

“Agbese’s dedication to serving the people and upholding the principles of fairness and transparency is exemplary,” the statement added.

“He has shown that he is a true representative of the people, and his actions have earned him the respect and admiration of many. We are proud to support him and stand by him in this matter.

“NNPCL and NMDPRA have shown a clear bias towards International Oil Companies (IOCs) and have consistently frustrated the efforts of Nigerian entrepreneurs.

“Their actions are a disservice to the nation and undermine the government’s efforts to promote indigenous businesses.”

The ETI, therefore, expressed support for the House of Reps call for the Chief Executive Officer of NMDPRA, Farouk Ahmed to resign.

“Agbese’s reiteration of the House’s earlier call for the NMDPRA boss to be sacked is the position of many Nigerians who mean well for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the statement said.

“We believe that the dismissal of the NNPC Group CEO Mele Kyari is long overdue as well. The ETI calls on President Tinubu to take immediate action to address this issue and ensure that these regulatory agencies serve the interests of the nation, not just a select few.”

ETI, however, said that it had taken legal action against the imposters and already involved law enforcement agencies to ensure that they were brought to justice.

“We will not tolerate any attempts to impersonate our organization or make false statements that damage our reputation,” the statement noted.

“We urge all stakeholders to remain vigilant and uphold the principles of fairness and transparency. We will continue to monitor developments and ensure that all actions and policies are aligned with the national interest, free from undue influence or partisan agendas.”
