 Thanks for staying with us. Now following tensions gripping the country between Biafra agitators and security forces, Nigerian President Mohamed Bwari has reiterated that his administration will not bow down to demands of separatists. The president's reaction and decision to crackdown on agitators and criminal elements in the southeast has caused very reactions from across the country. While some agree with the president's approach, others have stated otherwise. Osiroghe Ogboa has more. President Mohamed Bwari said his administration will shock those who want to destroy the system. During a meeting with the INEC leadership, the president said in court, �Those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the field for 30 months who went through the war will treat them in a language they understand� A cross-section of Nigerians have described the statements as �unpresidential� and �threatening�. �Unpresidential� is quite the reprehensible. I think every Nigerian should come out and condemn the statement because we need to break down that statement, understand what the president was trying to do by putting out that statement. And look at what is the choice of war. We would teach them in the language they understand. What does it mean by that? Basically, it was saying that, �Oh, all the evils did not tell the younger evils the horror of the war.� We would revisit that war, we would revisit the horror of that war to them. For him to have come out and said the things he had said, the way he said them, in the context and the manner in which he said them, on the platform in which he said it. Because it's a classic textbook case of how not to understand and how not to communicate your non-understanding of a very, very sensitive situation. Analysts have also condemned this development, which they have described as a seemingly military approach. I mean, even without the president's reaction yesterday, the possibility of the security authorities carrying out any of the activities on that except of human rights or without anyone being susceptible to human rights abuses was probably non-existent. Our security authorities have shown and have a well-documented track record of human rights abuses. So that wasn't going to happen. The president's statement probably just amplified the space and the opportunity for that to happen, which is tragic and unfortunate, because like you're right, you point. The fact of the matter is, no matter the level of militarization of the landscape in Nigeria, that will not stop people from agitating. The solution is always that it is far better for us to draw, draw now, either convoke a sovereign national conference or go back to the ones did by Jonathan's regime. In its response, the opposition People's Democratic Party advised the president to stop issuing threats and act decisively to end in security in the country. Osaw Gye Ogmawah, Plus TV Africa. Interestingly, a day after, Twitter deleted the president's tweets, insisting that it violates its rules. This obviously didn't go down well with the federal government, as it stated that Twitter's mission in Nigeria is suspicious by the Minister of Information and Culture. Did the social media platform go too far? Osaw Gye Ogmawah is the implication of the action against the Nigerian president. Social media site Twitter, removed on Wednesday, a post by Nigeria's president Mohamadubwari, threatening punishment for regional secessionists, blamed for attacks on government buildings. The social media firm says, Buhari's tweets referring to the 1967-1970 civil war, violated its abusive behavior policy. In reaction to this many Nigerians, senior lawyers, activists and also the Honezen Igbo have praised the social media giant for the steps taken and said it's a warning sign to President Buhari. The federal government in its reaction said Twitter's mission in Nigeria was suspicious. The mission of Twitter in Nigeria is very, very suspect, as Twitter deleted the violent tweets that in Amidicano. I've always said that those who handle the communication of the president are his greatest enemy. Somebody who is managing the Twitter handling of the president, who is supposed to arrange even if the president has made a mistake when he was talking before, in other places of presidency, the barricade and the fear of all kinds, any president who handles that kind of Twitter is supposed to not take the president's request. Mr President has made a very clear, Mr President was speaking strictly to trouble me first. People want to undermine the security of the Nigerian people, for which it's personally a part to ensure that the security of the Nigerian people is in place, and this person has made it a point of duty since 2015 when their political party laws are that they are going to do everything within their means to make the country of government a good place. In reference to Twitter rules and policies, some have argued for or against deleting the president's tweet and if it infringes on the president's right to expression. There's nothing suspicious about the actions of Twitter. I mean, if you read that tweet, you will know that if another man is going to do this, you are on high, or if I say this entire issue, does he expect to come and pick you up? We have seen the terrorist leader, Nambi Kanu, make your friends to kill him, make your friends to turn the Nigerian into his room, and I'm not sure Twitter deleted any of his tweets, except if I'm wrong. So, like a regular moment like this, I think the interest of some organizations in Nigeria is something that Nigerians should start thinking about. From being called on presidential, there have been calls for better handling of the president's social media accounts, and a better approach towards dowsing the tension across the country.

While various reactions are also symptomatic of the divisiveness among opinion leaders, everyone is advised to extreme actions and inactions from the lens of objectivity rather than ethnic and religious sentiment. Now, this is Unhumanitarian Organization. The International Committee of Red Cross established almost one-and-a-half century ago in 1863 says it has not drilled from its core mandate of helping people affected by conflict and armed violence. The group stated thus during a court's visit to plus TV Africa's office in Lagos by its spokesperson. Plus, TV Africa's senior correspondent Kaila Dela Dendi tells us more. While it is debatable whether Nigeria is at war, the International Committee of the Red Cross is not leaving anything to chances as it continues to provide services to civilian population and the Northeast who are affected by the insurgency. Speaking on the challenges faced by its officers, the RCRC spokesman in Nigeria highlights the problem of access. Working with the International Committee of the Red Cross is actually a daunting task. A lot of issues come up and, yeah, working in conflict situations because the organization is giving the mandate to protect and assist people that are affected by armed conflict and violence. And this is what we've been doing in Nigeria. A lot of issues that have to do with access. Most of the times what we want to do is to protect and assist people that are affected by violence and conflict. If we don't have access, then this is really going to be a big challenge because the populations out there are going to continue to suffer. There would be no food to support them with. There would be no medication, so this is really a big concern to us. Sadly, some of the ICRC had had to pay the Supreme Prize while trying to save the civilian population. These, the body says, would not deter them from carrying out their functions dutifully. The humanitarian consequences in the Northeast of Nigeria where most of our operations are is actually very, very severe because we see a lot of people who don't have access to medication, to food, to shelter and so on and so forth. So these are some of the challenges that the organization is suffering because a lot of needs are out there and then our hands are tied. He explains that his neutral role is never called to question. ICRC is a neutral organization, a neutral humanitarian organization that is independently working to assist people that are affected by conflict and violence. This is our principle of operations. We try as much as possible to inform all the actors to the conflicts, both the civilian population and also the armed groups. Of course with the armed forces of Nigeria that we are a neutral organization and what we do is mostly to assist civilian populations. This is what we do. Of course, we also call on all the actors to the conflict to respect the International Committee of the Red Cross and also by extension to respect all humanitarian actors that are there supporting people that are affected. The armed groups are expected to obey the rule of engagement which protecting ICRC officers and other humanitarian groups fall into. Only when this is followed to the letter, the unwarranted attacks faced by these good-spirited citizens may not end in the nearest future. Kairi Ladehendi, Plus TV Africa. And finally on this week's package, the attention is now shifted to Menjro Hygiene Day, a group known as Center for Water and Environment Development has urged parents to educate female words on menstrual health and hygiene so as to know what to do when they are experiencing the flow for the first time. The project manager of the group stated this in Yola during an event to mark today. This year's celebration centered on girls at the secondary school, particularly government girls secondary schools in Yola, the Adama State Capital, with the aim of educating them on the need to know what to do at the first day of menstruation. The project manager, Dori Sakama says it is pertinent for the awareness on the female words in order to reduce the rate at which young girls always fall a victim on the first day of menstruation. She urged parents to always be friendly to their female words at the early stage so that they will know the needful. Not just mothers, even fathers, that's the parents. And that's what if you see in our program is we invite boys so that we catch them young. But eventually they become fathers. If the mother will be shined, at least the father will be able to tell the mother, have you educated this your child? Have you prepared this your girl child before her first period? And mostly they start from age nine. Some of the students thanked the organization for the awareness and expressed happiness saying their awareness will go a long way in guiding them on what to do at the first day of the menstruation. I was afraid, I thought it was my fault. Then I went and told my mom that she now called my aunt. She now asked her if I have a boyfriend. Then my aunt was now like, no, I don't have a boyfriend. Then from then she now called my brother from Levos. Then my brother now told her that it's not a thing because I was at a very thing that age when I started it. Then my brother now... How old were you then? I was nine. Okay. Then my brother now told her that it's a normal thing for a girl to start. She told me that anytime I see blood flowing from my body I should not be afraid. It is menstruation. And she taught me how to use the part. With this one day awareness on the celebration of World Menstrual Hygiene Day it is expected that parents will take up their responsibility in educating female words at the earliest stage. Well it is possible to create a world where no woman or girl is held back because she menstruates. That means the world in which every woman or girl are empowered to manage their menstruation safely hygienically with confidence and without shame.
