U.S. Embassy Sounds Alert Over Potential Violence as ‘Free Nnamdi Kanu’ Protest Looms in Abuja

    The United States Embassy in Nigeria has issued a serious warning to its citizens ahead of the scheduled “Free Nnamdi Kanu Now” demonstration in the capital city of Abuja on Monday, October 20.   Sources say the march—organised by activists demanding the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in custody since June 2021—will push through key central areas including Eagle Square and the Central Business District.   In its advisory, the Embassy emphasised: roadblocks, major traffic jams and potential confrontations between security forces and protesters are very likely—and could escalate into violent clashes.   Accordingly, American citizens are urged to:   * Avoid the protest areas entirely. * Minimise movement across Abuja on the day. * Keep children indoors and hold off commuting staff who would travel into the city from outside. * Stay alert: Avoid crowds, monitor local media, keep your phone...

 The United States Embassy in Nigeria has issued a serious warning to its citizens ahead of the scheduled “Free Nnamdi Kanu Now” demonstration in the capital city of Abuja on Monday, October 20.

 Sources say the march—organised by activists demanding the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in custody since June 2021—will push through key central areas including Eagle Square and the Central Business District.

 In its advisory, the Embassy emphasised: roadblocks, major traffic jams and potential confrontations between security forces and protesters are very likely—and could escalate into violent clashes.

 Accordingly, American citizens are urged to:

 * Avoid the protest areas entirely.

* Minimise movement across Abuja on the day.

* Keep children indoors and hold off commuting staff who would travel into the city from outside.

* Stay alert: Avoid crowds, monitor local media, keep your phone charged, carry identification.

 This alert comes as authorities brace for tensions in a city already on high-alert. Residents and visitors in Abuja are therefore cautioned to plan ahead, steer clear of large gatherings, and take every precaution to remain safe.

Stoichiometry Tutorial Step by Step

  Stoichiometry is the study of the quantity of the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. It can also be defined as the determination of the ratio in which elements or compounds react with one another in a chemical reaction. Method Calculating Stoichiometric Problems In stoichiometric calculation, the basic method of calculating the problems is by converting one quantity to another using the conversion factors which are usually found in a balanced chemical equation. These conversion factors are the important ratios which can be turned into a fraction to produce the desired results. The molar mass of a substance is one of the important conversion units which is defined as the mass of one mole of a substance expressed in grams. Types of Stoichiometry Calculations or Problems There are four basic types of stoichiometry calculations which include: 1.        Mass-to-mass conversion 2.        Mass...

Application of Gay-Lussac’s Law of Combining Volumes

Gay Lussac’s of combining volumes states that gases react in simple ratio with one another and to volumes of the products provided that temperature and pressure remain constant. In this article, you will understand how to apply this law in calculation by studying the following examples below: 1.     2H 2 + O 2 → H 2 O In the reaction above, what volume of hydrogen would be left over when 300cm 3 of oxygen and hydrogen are exploded in a sealed tube?   1cm 3 of oxygen = 2cm 3 of hydrogen 300cm 3 of oxygen = 2 x 300 = 600cm 3 Volume of left over = 1000 – 600 = 400cm 3 2.     Calculate the volume of carbon (II) oxide required to react with 40cm 3 of oxygen. 2CO + O 2 → 2CO 2 1cm 3 of oxygen = 2cm 3 of CO 40cm 3 of oxygen = 2 x 40 = 80cm 3 3.     Calculate the volume of residual gases that would be produced when 100cm 3 of sulphur (IV) oxide reacts with 20cm 3 of oxygen    2SO 2 + O 2 → 2SO 3...

Qualitative Analysis of inorganic Compound

  This is a type analysis which involves the identification of the ions ( cation and anion) in a given inorganic substance. Thus, Qualitative analysis deals with the identification of the compound. To effectively identify the ions, it is necessary to be able to observe the presence of any chemical reaction which is normally recognized by ·         Colour change ·         Evolution of gas ·         Precipitation      Colour Change : colour change is associated with transition metal ions. The major cause of the colour in transition metal ions is electronic transition within the d-block level. The colour of light which show, is the colour of light which is reflected by the ion. This change of transition metal ions is common when they form a bond with water or ammonia. It is important to note that zinc does not form coloured ion, this is because zinc ...
