NADECO Asks Buhari to resign
A pan-Nigeria political association, National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) has called for the immediate resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari on the grounds of what the group described as ” gross incompetence and reckless endangerment of the lives and property of Nigerian citizens.
The coalition group reached the position at the end of meetings with several other groups in the United States of America (USA) and in Nigeria.
It noted that the primary responsibility of government is the security and welfare of the people, pointing out that it has become glaring for all to see that Buhari has failed woefully in this regard and should honourable resign from office.
“These are the fundamental rights that Nigerians have been denied under Buhari.
“The President and his All Progressives Congress(APC) have failed woefully and dangerously”
NADECO said the fact that the seat of power, Abuja is at the verge of being overrun by terrorists is a clear testimony that the government under Buhari has totally collapsed under the weight of his disdain for the people, arrogance and crass ineptitude and can no longer be trusted with power.
The group said the President had in his own statement admitted that he was “tired” and had nothing else to offer when he said he cannot wait to leave office.
“Buhari is now a portent of doom. It is abundantly clear that Buhari has “checked out” and is no longer Nigeria’s leader”.
The group said Nigeria under Buhari has become rudderless and there was nothing more the people should expect from a disconnected President who has shown time and time again that he is no longer in charge.
“What more are Nigerians expecting from a clueless and disconnected Buhari, whose hand is no longer at the tiller and the ship of state is rudderless? The President is tired and wants to leave.”
NADECO enjoined citizens to rally round its call for Buhari to voluntarily throw in the towel or face impeachment by the National Assembly.
“There are many reasons Buhari must resign now, foremost of which is the alarming increase in major security breaches in 2022 that have accelerated the
insecurity of Nigeria at a pace even the most cynical could have never foreseen – none of which have been addressed and all of which are squarely the fault of Buhari and his cronies and bootlickers”.
The group lamented that under Buhari and in 2022 alone, the country and its people have endured some of its worst adversities that can only rival the episodes of 1966 rivals for rampant ethno-religious violence, political executions, and religious and tribal persecution of the People of Nigeria.
It recalled amongst other atrocities, the attack on Nigerian Defence Academy in Kaduna that left 2 officers killed and another 1 abducted on February 12, 2022. It also pointed at similar attack on Kaduna airport, the Abuja/Kaduna train attack that left 12 persons dead, 75 kidnapped with 43 of the kidnapped still held as captives in the bush with the bandits.
This was as it lamented the attack on Catholic church in Owo where 70 persons were killed with many injured.
Even more troubling according to the group was the July 6, attack on Buhari’s advance convoy and the attack on Kuje Correctional Facility that housed some of Boko Haram deadliest fighters and the brutal killings of a Captain and 2 other officers of the elite Presidential Brigade of Guards in Bwari near the Law School.
The group said the last straw that broke the carmel’s back is the threats by bandits to kidnap Buhari and the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai.
NADECO however said despite the threats, Buhari watches idly while Nigeria crumbles and its capital falls into the hands of terrorists even as it feared that Nigeria’s security agents may have become complicit in the terror that now completely envelops the entire country.
The statement released on Thursday agreed with Chief Afe Babalola’s proposal of an Interim Government for Nigeria after which a restructuring arrangement should be embarked on.
LG Electronics (LG) unveiled its new television lineup for 2023, which boasts a range of technological advancements designed to deliver superior picture quality, sound performance, and usability. This lineup is headlined by its most advanced range of OLED TVs yet, the OLED evo C3. With premium self-lit picture quality, powerful image processing technologies, and an enhanced webOS platform offering even more smart features and services, the company’s latest OLED TVs elevate viewing experiences as only LG OLED can.
It’s been 10 years since LG first released OLED, and in that time, much has changed. What’s new for 2023’s big TVs, and is it worth getting excited about? It might be difficult to believe, but TVs are celebrating a bit of an anniversary this year as OLED turns ten.
“At LG, we are committed to continuous innovation across our home entertainment products, and our 2023 TV range is no exception. And as our technologies have evolved, so has the role of the TV in Nigerian homes,” said Choongbae Seok, General Manager, TV Division, LG Electronics West African Operations.
“Whether it be the hub where people gather for the latest sporting match, game, or movie, or a statement piece positioned to impress invited guests, this year we are providing a television for every consumer,” he said.
The C3 OLED evo provides higher brightness and color accuracy, as well as amazing clarity and detail, thanks to the precision and performance of LG OLED evo technology and the new α9 AI Processor Gen6. It comes in 83, 77, and 65-inch sizes. The other lineup includes the QNED 81 Series (75’’, 65″); the Nano 77 Series (75”, 65”, 55″); and the UHD UR Series (75’’, 65”, 55”, 50”). LG TVs now feature a slimmer design and minimal bezel that complement your home interior. Upgrade your viewing experience to enjoy vivid colors and breathtaking detail in real 4K.
LG continues to leverage its technological leadership, not just to create products and services for a better life. 2023 LG OLED TVs are designed to be kinder to the environment, from production all the way through to disposal, creating sustainable cycles. LG OLED TVs have no backlighting unit, meaning each TV requires fewer materials to produce than a conventional LED TV. They also employ many components made from recycled plastics and are even shipped in eco-packaging made from recyclable materials and featuring single-color printing. Easier on viewers’ eyes, LG’s 2023 model OLED TV has been certified low-blue-light by TÜV Rheinland and flicker-free by UL Solutions.
Outlets such as CNET highlighted the OLED C3, saying, “It sets the standard for high-end TV picture quality.” (CNET, 06/23)
For TechRadar, the LG OLED C3 arrives with new HDR-improving picture processing, a pleasing look, a smart TV interface overhaul, and a wealth of features that will appeal to both gamers and movie fans. “LG has delivered another winner with the C3 OLED,” the review noted. (TechRadar, 03/2023)
The LG range of 2023 TVs comprises the following:
Faster HDMI switching
The new LG OLED TV models support a wide range of HDMI 2.1a-compatible features, with 4 ports available on the C3 models again. They are also the first TVs to be certified by the HDMI organization for the recently announced Quick Media Switching VRR (QMS-VRR). QMS-VRR eliminates the momentary black screen when switching between content from different sources connected via the TV’s HDMI 2.1a-compatible ports. This is only available when using HDMI 2.1 QMS VRR-certified source devices.
Gaming remains a focus
For the ultimate gaming experience, LG OLED and QNED TVs feature a 0.1 ms response time, low input lag, and up to four HDMI 2.1a-compatible ports. LG OLED TVs are also equipped with Game Optimizer, which allows users to quickly select and switch between game-related features such as game genre display presets. Settings for Nvidia G-Sync, FreeSync Premium, and variable refresh rate (VRR) are also easily accessible through the Game Optimizer.
Improved picture and sound quality
The latest processor in the Alpha series uses LG’s advanced AI-powered deep learning technology to ensure excellent picture and sound quality. AI Picture Pro offers improved upscaling for greater clarity, and improved dynamic tone mapping helps bring out depth and detail in every image. AI Picture Pro also includes image processing technology that recognizes and refines objects or faces to have more lifelike HDR quality. In addition, AI Sound Pro ensures that viewers can immerse themselves even more in what is happening on screen by delivering virtual 9.1.2 surround sound through the TV’s built-in speaker system.
Improved webOS and software
This year’s models are equipped with the latest webOS version and include the redesigned All New Home user interface, which offers a wealth of personalization options and more comfort for an even better user experience. The new Quick Cards give users easy access to the content and services they use most, grouped into logical categories such as home office, gaming, music, and sports. Based on their TV behavior and viewing habits, the more advanced webOS ensures that consumers easily receive personalized recommendations tailored to their preferences.
LG TVs are available in all Fouani showrooms nationwide. For more information, kindly visit https://www.lg.com/africa/tvs
