Abuja (Precise Post) – The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi has ordered immediate clampdown on rickety vehicles plying Nigerian roads.
He gave the directives on Monday via Official twitter handle account of the Commission to Commanding Officers across all formations of the Corps on Monday.
According to Oyeyemi, the clampdown is an integral part of rejigged efforts of the Corps in the year 2021 to further reduce road traffic crashes across the country.
The CM’s order was contained in a statement issued by @BisiKazeem, the Corps Public Education Officer, Federal Road Safety Corps..

Abuja (Precise Post) – Russian President Vladimir Putin today sounded a warning about the influence of global tech giants which he said were ‘competing’ with national governments, after Russia told internet firms to take down posts that had fuelled Alexei Navalny-inspired protests.
Putin told the virtual Davos summit that tech companies were ‘not just economic giants… in some areas they are already de facto competing with the state’.
‘We just saw it all in the United States,’ he added, referring to the Capitol riot incited by Donald Trump which led to the then-president being banned from Twitter – a move which has caused disquiet in several European countries.
Putin’s comments come as Russia ramps up pressure on the activities of foreign tech giants, which are not subject to the same state censorship as most media outlets.
Moscow earlier this week accused US tech platforms of interfering in Russia’s internal affairs during the anti-government protests egged on by Navalny.
Ahead of the Navalny rallies, Russia’s media watchdog Roskomnadzor ordered several online platforms, including YouTube and Instagram, to delete posts by users calling for protesters to attend demonstrations.
The chairman of the Russian parliament’s foreign interference committee, Vasily Piskaryov, said today that the head of TikTok’s Russian branch had been invited in for a conversation.
Piskaryov was quoted by the TASS news agency as saying that ‘questions had piled up’ about the China-based video-sharing service.
In recent months, TikTok has emerged as a popular platform for young Russians to express their political views.
Hashtags dedicated to Navalny have been trending on TikTok, garnering more than 1.5billion views, after the anti-corruption campaigner was jailed on his return to Russia from Germany.
Putin said today it was unclear where the line is between a ‘successful global business’ and ‘attempts to crudely, at their own discretion, control society’.
His comments echo those of European leaders including Angela Merkel who voiced concern about Trump’s Twitter ban and the power it gave to US tech giants.
Trump’s Twitter account was permanently suspended earlier this month after he caused the riot at the Capitol and continued to use Twitter to spread his spurious claims that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
Merkel’s spokesman said she viewed Trump’s ban as ‘problematic’, saying that freedom of opinion was a ‘fundamental right of elementary importance’.
‘This fundamental right can be interfered with, but through the law and within the framework defined by the legislature, not according to the decision of the management of social media platforms,’ her spokesman said.
EU governments have frequently clashed with US internet giants whom they accuse of holding too much power.
Poland recently moved to curb the power of Facebook and Twitter by drawing up plans for a ‘freedom of speech council’ which could overrule their decisions.
Social media sites would only be allowed to ban users for breaking Polish law under the plans unveiled by Warsaw earlier this month.
Putin himself signed new legislation last month allowing Russia to block or restrict access to sites that ‘discriminate’ against its media, raising fears that the Kremlin is seeking to introduce China-style controls.
Twitter currently labels some Russian media ‘state-affiliated media’, a move decried by Moscow.
Another introduces hefty fines of up to 20 per cent of their previous year’s Russia-based turnover for sites that repeatedly fail to remove banned content.
‘I strongly hope that such ‘hot’ global conflict is impossible now. It would mean the end of civilization,’ he said. ‘But the situation may become unpredictable and spin out of control.
‘There is a real danger that we will face a downturn in global development fraught with an all-out fight, attempts to solve contradictions by searching for internal and foreign enemies, and the destruction of basic traditional values.’
Putin attributed the worsening economic situation to a Western liberal economic model that he said ‘foments social, racial and ethnic intolerance with tensions erupting even in countries with seemingly long-established civil and democratic institutions.’
The Russian leader pointed to what he described as the negative role of technology companies that run top social networks, charging that they have abused their position and tried to ‘control the society, replace legitimate democratic institutions and usurp an individual’s right to decide how to live and what views to express.

Abuja (Precise Post) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) encouraged her Democratic colleagues to “write their story of January 6,” in a letter sent Wednesday.
In the letter, Pelosi makes note of the multiple historic events that have taken place this month, including the second House impeachment of former President Trump and President Biden’s inauguration, each one week apart.
“Today also marks three weeks since the insurrection against the U.S. Capitol and against our Democracy,” Pelosi wrote. “I urge all Members to take advantage of this time to write your story of January 6. I also hope you have taken advantage of the trauma and resilience resources provided by the Office of Employee Assistance, and I encourage you to do so if you have not. Members have told me that they have found these resources to be beneficial.”
The violent Capitol riot resulted in five deaths, including that of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. Trump’s alleged role in inciting the violence led to him becoming the first U.S. president to be impeached twice. His Senate impeachment trial is set to take place the week of Feb. 8.
Lawmakers, staff and members of the media were forced to evacuate the legislative chambers when violent rioters broke into the Capitol. They were instructed to hide under desks or barricade themselves inside their offices.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) previously said during an Instagram livestream that she experienced a “pretty traumatizing event” during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, and said she believed she was going to die that day. During the same livestream, she said she would likely seek counseling in the near future.
“As we continue our work For The People, we must do so prayerfully, solemnly and courageously,” wrote Pelosi. “Let us draw faith and inspiration from the closing words of the poem that Amanda Gorman shared with the nation one week ago: ‘For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.

Washington (Precise Post) – The Justice Department revealed charges this week against a Texas man who allegedly stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and threatened on social media to kill U.S. Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Prosecutors asked a judge on Friday to keep the man, Garret Miller, in jail ahead of a court appearance, according to court records. They revealed five criminal charges in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia against Miller on Wednesday, including for making death threats and trespassing offenses.
Images of social media posts allegedly authored by Miller, which appear to announce his trip to the Capitol and threaten the life of Ocasio-Cortez as well as a Capitol Police officer, are cited in the court filing.
Prosecutors said Miller made numerous threatening remarks online, including one instance in which he commented “next time we bring the guns” on a Twitter video showing rioters exiting a Capitol building.
As rioters broke into the Capitol, Ocasio-Cortez worried that her colleagues in Congress might divulge her location to the mob, putting her at risk for kidnapping or worse, according to an Instagram Live video she recorded on Jan. 12.
Ocasio-Cortez also said she experienced “a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die” on Jan. 6, adding that she could not get into specifics for security reasons, according to a Washington Post account of the video. “I did not know if I was going to make it to the end of that day alive.”
A spokeswoman for Ocasio-Cortez declined to comment. Miller was arrested on Wednesday and a detention hearing is planned for Monday.(Reuters).

Abuja (Precise Post) – Chelsea’s owner believes Grant could provide valuable assistance to Frank Lampard; the Blues’ 3-1 defeat to Man City was their latest during a downturn in performances in the Premier League; Lampard and Grant reached the Champions League final together in 2008
Frank Lampard starred for Avram Grant’s side during the latter’s spell at the club between 2007 and 2008
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is considering a move to bring former manager Avram Grant back to Stamford Bridge to join Frank Lampard’s backroom team.
The Russian billionaire believes Grant’s experience could provide invaluable support to manager Lampard and his staff.
Chelsea have won only one of their last six Premier League matches and have dropped to ninth in the table.
Grant believes his strengths lie as a team manager rather than behind the scenes, so potentially the 65-year-old’s return to Stamford Bridge could be on a short-term basis.
Recently on social media, Grant backed Lampard, and urged Abramovich to give him time to prove his doubters wrong.
“About the current situation, I can say only this. You need to be strong when things are not going well, when things are going well everyone is a genius and knows what to do,” Grant said in an Instagram post.
“But in the situation like this when things aren’t going well you need to be strong, look for solutions and show a lot about your character.
“What I can say to Frank and the others at the club is be patient, and more than this do whatever is necessary to do, that’s for sure. Two things: never lose it even when things are going well, don’t lose your fighting spirit at the highest level.
“And second, don’t lose what you have here [points at head] – you need to think right and look for solutions. If you do that, then everything will be OK because the quality is there and there is a potential like there was [at Chelsea] in my time.”
In 2018, the former Portsmouth and West Ham boss had a spell as manager of Indian Super League team NorthEast United.
Prior to that, Grant managed Ghana, leading them to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015, losing to Ivory Coast on penalties.
Grant guided Chelsea to the Champions League final in 2008 and Lampard scored 20 goals during 40 appearances in all competitions for the Blues during that season.

Abuja (Precise Post) – Nigeria’s former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said the banning of alternative voices by Apple, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube is nothing but barefaced fascism.
Fani-Kayode who took to his twitter handle to disclose this, warned that Nigerians supporting this mass censorship are simply cutting their noses to spite their faces. Adding that they have been blinded by their hate for Trump and are acting and thinking out of ignorance.
He slammed those who argued, rather naively, that Twitter, YouTube, Facebook or Instagram are private companies with their own rules and regulations and if any of them bans or censors you, you can simply go elsewhere.
Fani-Kayode reminded that principle of freedom of speech is universal and whether it is a private company or a Government that seeks to limit or censor it makes NO difference. Either way it is wrong. Private companies do NOT have the right to silence dissenting voices any more than Governments do.
The tweets read:
Apple has finally removed Parler whilst Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube are now banning alternative voices and those that are considered to be Trump supporters and right wing conservatives. Alternative voices have been silenced & censorship is the order of the day.
Those in Nigeria that are celebrating this ugly turn of events will cry last. If anyone here thinks that full censorship of the social and traditional media will not be imposed in our country over the next few months and if they believe that ANY voice or medium that speaks against the Govt will be allowed to thrive and function & will not be silenced or closed down then that person is simply daft. Big tech, the international television networks & the Liberal Left fascist media have just given Buhari and his APC thugs a free pass and license to silence us, rule over us & impose their will on us well into the distant future. Nigerians that are supporting this mass censorship are simply cutting their noses to spite their faces. They have been blinded by their hate for Trump & are acting & thinking out of ignorance.
When the FG introduces the most draconian legislation to curb social media & possibly even ban some of it and when they come down hard on the traditional media including newspapers and television stations for airing or reflecting the views of the opposition and those that are against them no Nigerian should complain. I say this because they have refused to condemn it, they have asked for it, they have encouraged it and they have applauded it. That is what they wanted and that is what they will get.
Some have argued, rather naively, that Twitter, YouTube, Facebook or Instagram are private companies with their own rules and regulations and if any of them bans or censors you, you can simply go elsewhere.
Well the principle of freedom of speech is universal & whether it is a private company or a Govt. that seeks to limit or censor it makes NO difference. Either way it is wrong. Private companies do NOT have the right to silence dissenting voices any more than Governments do.
Either of the 2 that do are simply indulging in an abuse of power & attempting to dominate the discourse & block the flow of information & free speech. Even if u disagree with someone or their view is a minority opinion, it does not mean that u have the right to shut them down.
Freedom is about hearing everyone’s voice & allowing everyone to express themselves freely & without fear & not about shutting down those you do not like or agree with. In any case those that talk about going “elsewhere” clearly are not following events because the only significant “elsewhere” was Parler & they have just been shut down by Big Tech. Company Apple who just removed them from their App. on the grounds that they are allowing people to air contrary and “unacceptable” views. Get it now? There is no ELSEWHERE and where one is established or created it eventually gets SHUT DOWN for allowing a plurality of views and an alternative point of view to world events. Surely even the dullest amongst us can appreciate and understand the implications and dangers of that! This is nothing but barefaced FASCISM!

Abuja (Precise Post) – Facebook and Twitter have deployed emergency measures to counter President Donald Trump’s false claims of victory, a move that would bring them more directly into conflict with the US president than ever before.
The two tech platforms had announced plans in the run-up to the election to counter misinformation about the vote, as well as premature claims of victory.
Facebook notably dropped the euphemistic phrasing that had previously accompanied its announcements, which discussed the risk that “candidates” may falsely claim a win.
A company spokesperson cited Trump by name in explaining its decision, saying: “Once President Trump began making premature claims of victory, we started running notifications on Facebook and Instagram that votes are still being counted and a winner is not projected. We’re also automatically applying labels to both candidates’ posts with this information.”
When it came to reacting to individual posts, both platforms faced criticism for their responses. In late-night posts cross-posted to both Twitter and Facebook, Trump declared: “We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!” That post was followed by a second that read: “I will be making a statement tonight. A big WIN!”
Facebook initially labelled the first post with a simple box advising readers to “see the latest updates on the 2020 US election”. More than 30 minutes after it was posted, the company updated its warning to note that “final results may be different from initial vote counts, as ballot counting will continue for days or weeks”. By that time the post had well over 100,000 reactions.
Twitter restricted distribution on the first post, blocking it from being retweeted or replied to, and appended a note saying the content “is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process”. A spokesperson said the warning was “for making a potentially misleading claim about an election. This action is in line with our civic integrity policy.”
But neither platform took action against the second post claiming “a big WIN!”. Twitter said the lack of action was because it was unclear what, specifically, was being referenced. While the post could have constituted a premature claim of victory in the national race, it could just as easily be construed as a legitimate expression of pleasure at winning a state such as Florida, which had declared several hours earlier.
The tech platforms are remaining in an election mode while counts continue. Political adverts are now suspended indefinitely at Facebook and Google, while Twitter has not allowed them since October 2019.
Google has blocked all adverts “referencing candidates, the election, or its outcome, given that an unprecedented amount of votes will be counted after election day this year”. According to Axios, the ban should be expected to last at least the next week, and possibly longer if the results remain contentious.
