As many as 100 employees of Clarence House, a royal residence in the City of Westminster, London in the United Kingdom are to be laid off.
They have now been notified that they would soon be made redundant following King Charles III’s accession to the throne.
A report by the UK Guardian on Tuesday said employees at the King’s former official residence, including some who have worked there for decades, received notification that they could lose their jobs following his accession to the throne.
A civil service trade union has criticised the decision to notify King Charles’s staff of redundancies during the period of mourning as “nothing short of heartless”.
Mark Serwotka, the general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), said: “While some changes across the households were to be expected, as roles across the royal family change, the scale and speed at which this has been announced is callous in the extreme. Least of all because we do not know what staffing the incoming Prince of Wales and his family might need.”
He added that the union, which represents some palace workers, was working to ensure staff have “full job security”, and that it continued to support other royal staff concerned that their “futures are thrown into turmoil by this announcement at this already difficult time”.
Clarence House staff are not believed to have a recognised union available to them.
Clarence House, located next to St James’s Palace in central London, is the official London residence of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. King Charles’s and Camilla’s offices will move to Buckingham Palace after the death of the Queen, and staff had expected to be transferred.
Some people in the crowd outside Buckingham Palace on Monday night were shocked at the Guardian’s revelations about the handling of redundancies at Clarence House.
The podiatrist Christhell Hobbs, 57, a regular attender at royal events, said: “I think it’s sad. They have families they have to support.”
Hobbs, who left Fairlight, near Hastings in East Sussex, first thing in the morning to see the Queen’s coffin arrive on Tuesday evening, added: “Many of them have put in many good years of service and now they’re told, ‘We don’t want you’. You have to be human about this.”
Korina Massicat, 22, a politics student at Durham University from east London, agreed: “[These are] people who’ve been working hard and are faithful and loyal. Nobody deserves to be fired because someone dies.”
Lexi, 26, a fashion student at Central Saint Martins in London, said: “It’s quite shocking. I don’t get it, she only just passed away. It’s more important to get the funeral done – I don’t think this was a good time to do it right now.”
Gary Taylor, 54, a property developer from Gravesend, Kent, said: “It is bad timing. It’s not what you would expect because it’s so soon.”
Many in the crowd refused to believe the news, even after they had been shown it online. One woman said it was “scaremongering”, while another said that people were not “prepared to hear negative stuff at the moment”.
Private secretaries, the finance office, the communications team and household staff are among those who received redundancy notices during the thanksgiving service for the Queen at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh on Monday.
Staff who are made redundant are expected to be offered the opportunity to take up alternative employment across all royal households, assistance in finding new jobs externally and an “enhanced” redundancy payment beyond the statutory minimum.
The BBC also reported it understood that the royal household had received legal advice that the information be shared with staff at the earliest opportunity, despite efforts to delay the announcement until after the Queen’s funeral.
A small number of staff members providing personal support to Charles and Camilla will remain in post, though no final decisions are understood to have been taken ahead of the consultation period, which begins after Monday’s funeral.
The Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, was in attendance at the service of commemoration in honour of late Queen Elizabeth II at The British Residence, Ikoyi.
Sharing photos on his Facebook page, Sanwo-Olu, also signed the condolence register,
He said, “Queen Elizabeth II lived a remarkable life of service and devotion to duty from her first day on the throne till the very last hour. For her, service and duty to the people of United Kingdom and the entire Commonwealth of Nations was a sacred duty and she did it faithfully to the very end. “
He added “On behalf of the good people of Lagos, we pray for the Royal Family and it is our desire that the reign of King Charles III will strengthen stronger relationships and partnerships between UK and Nigeria and the world,”
The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has unfolded that he rejected private jet from four biggest billionaires.
According to him, the billionaires wanted to buy him a private jet, but he kicked against it.
Adeboye, in one of his sermons, said the incident took place many years ago when the naira was still very strong and even stronger than the dollars.
“At a stage of our history, four of the biggest billionaires in Nigeria were worshiping here. I am talking of billionaires at a time when billion naira means billion naira. At a time when the Naira was stronger than the Dollar.
“At a stage in RCCG’s history, some of the members here met and decided they will buy me a jet. I’m talking of decades ago; not today. I had to stop them because I heard about their plan. They were already contacting one of my children who works with American Airline in America.
“How do we get a very nice well used jet for our pastor?” I had to stop them; said, “Ah! buying a jet is one thing; maintaining it is another thing. That right now, I need money to build Churches; not a jet,” Adeboye explained.
He added: “In case you don’t believe me, well, there’s evidence. When 9\/11 happened, and America was trying to find out who and who could be connected with bombing their something, they saw a record. You know, every telephone call you make to America is recorded.
“In case you don’t know, know it now. They saw in their database that there was a time some people in Nigeria were trying to buy a jet from American Airlines. So they sent their operatives to go and pick up my son there.
“To find out what happened to that project. Then they discovered it is a pastor they wanted to buy it for. And they felt a pastor is not going to be a bomber. That’s you! That’s where you are!”
The Saudi Arabian government have arrested a person who travelled to the Holy City of Mecca to pay tribute to the longest-serving British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.

The Grand Mosque is off-limits to non-Muslims.
Saudi Arabia additionally bans symptoms and symptoms and political slogans from the sacred courtyard for worry of offending Islamic sensibilities.
According to reports, traffic are banned from dedicating their pilgrimages to deceased non-Muslims, therefore, the person attributing his pilgrimage to the overdue Queen, who turned into the top of the Church of England, seems to have damaged the rules.
Farmers across the 36 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have expressed their readiness to tap the opportunities in cassava and maize value chain as proposed by the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
The farmers, under the auspices of Asiwaju Farmers Forum, stated this yesterday in Abuja.
The group said their resolve to tap from the abundant opportunities in staples such as cassava and maize followed Tinubu’s assurance to invest massively in the entire agriculture value chain if elected president next year.
Leader of the group and National Coordinator, Nigerian Farmers Group and Cooperative Society (NFGCS), Mr. Retson Tedheke, said there must be a different approach to tackle the economic challenge for Nigeria to work.
“Our imports must be on how to add value to what we can produce locally, it must be on extra jobs; it must be focused on nothing but managing the evolving rural Nigeria quagmire and turning what is currently becoming a curse to blessing.
“The problem of Nigeria is Nigerians. Our failure as a country is our fault as a people. The USD is not coming down soon. Our hunger is not going away.
We cannot import everything and expect our people to be free from the challenging economic mess we face.
Retired American mental health counselor, Dr Jeffery Guterman, literarily set the Nigerian Twitter sphere on fire, on Tuesday, by referring to Festus Keyamo, spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council and Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyanmo as ‘Mr Mugu.’
Mugu is a term used in pidgin to describe a f00l or someone unwise.
Guterman had reacted to Keyamo’s tweet on the viral video of Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, having one of his aides read out a WhatsApp broadcast against his Presidency.
“Shame on you Festus Keyamo,” he wrote.
In his response, the minister asked the American to stay away from Nigerian politics.
“Mr. Man @JeffreyGuterman, as a hired online mercenary without a Nigerian Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC), may I suggest you stay away from our local politics? I am under restraint from professional bodies to which I belong, hence I have not descended on you with the worst expletives,” he wrote.
Guterman then dropped the bomb.
“I will not stay away from Nigerian politics, Mr. Mugu @fkeyamo. #PeterObiForPresident,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Nigerian Twitter users have taken to the internet space to express their opinions on this. Below are some of such comments:
@Eganwave said: “Keyamo SAN-Senior Advocate of Nuisance don collect o.”
@chukwuebuker wrote: “Don’t mind the Senior Advocate of Nonsense;he’s a shame to us all. Thank you. @JeffreyGuterman for all you do.”
@ReusSegun: “Vawulence pro max activated my the Yankee OBIdient. Omo this man just Dey gimme joy, he said “Mr Mugu””
@WazobiaUnited: “May Posterity favour you and yours Jeff. Lend your voice to a better Humanity. Nigerians appreciate your input. Don’t mind the Senior Advocate of Nuisance.”
@Nemonwa: “Is the Mr. Mugu for me. Don’t mind the Mugu claiming SAN”
@LuqmanTI_2: “Jeffrey next time call him mr senior advocate of nonsense.”
When ‘Mr Mugu’ was trending at number one on Twitter, Guterman posted a screenshot and wrote, “Keep it trending”
The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has apologised to Christian clerics over the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress. He also appealed to them to help talk to their followers about the need to forgive and give the party a chance. This was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Richard Olatunde, on Monday.
According to the statement, the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum spoke on Sunday at the 40th Holy Ghost Convention Dinner of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan. The governor hinged his call for understanding on the need for power to return to the southern part of the country after eight years in the northern part.
He said, “I understand our feelings because I am one of you. I am a Christian. All of us here are worried. What will be our gain, and that, why is my party, the APC, throwing up a Muslim-Muslim ticket?
“It has been a real issue for all of us; even members of the party. We have debated it, fought it and done so many things about it. I have always said to people, that my fight was for a Southern President. Now it has come to the South-West, will I now throw the baby away with the bathwater? Can I, in all honesty, do it? Should I, in all honesty, do it?
“We call it a matter of coincidence. It is a matter of conscience. All of us are here, why don’t we look at it from one angle? The buck stops on the table of the President. Do we have a capable hand who can manage the affairs if given the opportunity? Do you have a man who is bold enough to challenge incursions into our land? That is it.
“All of us here have lived together for years, and we didn’t allow religion to cause a fight among us. We have Muslims in our families and there is no fight. We have many leaders in Yoruba land who have both Muslims and Christians in their families and there is no fight.
When on Thursday, September 8, 2022, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on into ancestor-hood, I was not particularly moved. I like England. I schooled and worked there and those years were some of the best of my life. The English people are by far some of the most decent peoples on planet Earth.
However, I am rather indifferent about their monarch. I did not like or dislike Queen Elizabeth II. The only thing I can think of that I admire in her is her stoicism. Her ability to take pain and pleasure with equanimity. She is the epitome of duty and a stiff upper lip.
But I doubt that I bothered much about her and her goings on. I was just aloof.
So, while I was not one of those mourning, it was not because I had some grudge against the House of Windsor. No. It is just that the House of Ginuwa (the first Olu of Warri), mattered more to me than Buckingham Palace.
The above not withstanding, I was absolutely mortified by the hideous and historically inaccurate things that were said about the Queen and her family by a Nigerian woman living in America, whose name I will not dignify by mentioning.
I later got to find out that this woman has other issues, which made me understand her bitterness better, though I still vehemently reject her indecorous words.
She was one of the people who famously celebrated the death of TB Joshua and called him all sorts of unprintable names when he died. So it is no big surprise that she has turned her vitriol in the direction of the late Queen.
And so now, let me tackle what the death of Queen Elizabeth II reveals about Biafra. It shows us as a people not aware of our history, and because we are not aware of our own history, we have distorted it, such that propaganda and pseudo history has been orally passed down from one generation to the other, feeding unfounded bitterness that is destroying those who harbour it, and having no effect on those against whom they are embittered.
That is why some people believe they were just sitting down minding their business and Hausa people came to fight them (all Northerners are Hausa to some people) because they hate them. There was absolutely no provocation, or igniting events that preceded the Nigerian Civil War. Hausa people just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some strange reason decided to pounce on the people of Eastern Nigeria.
But of course, that is not what happened. However, because we do not write our history, and even worse, we have refused to teach it in our schools, there are millions of people who believe this version of events. In fact, they swear by it.
One fellow named Uche Nnaya even tweeted at me that the Igbos of Southeast Nigeria had a right to rail against the British monarch and the rest of Nigeria, because “you can’t push people to the wall and dictate how they react.”
Really? But do those who hold such views not know that some other persons were FIRST pushed to the wall? Uche’s response will also justify how those who were first pushed to the wall reacted.
We cannot keep holding grudges as if other people do not have their own grudges that they have let go for the peace and unity of this country called Nigeria.
My great uncle, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was shot and killed in the street by Major Chris Anuforo on January 15, 1966. Ironically, I went to school with Anuforo’s son. Should my people carry that grudge forever?
Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was shot on the street like a common criminal by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna tried to deny it, and claimed that Alhaji Balewa died from an asthma attack, until his body was taken to LUTH and examined by the then minister for health, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi. It was established that the body was riddled with bullets in a front page story in Daily Times, written by Segun Osoba, who later became the Governor of Ogun. He is still alive.
This was an incorruptible gentleman. He lived a very ascetic life. Materialism was FAR from him. He was an author. His book, Shaihu Umar, was the first novel written in Hausa. He surrounded himself with Southerners (in hindsight, was that a mistake?). His best friend was Matthew Mbu. Should the Tafawa-Balewa family and the people of Bauchi, where he was from, hold a grudge forever?
I could go on and on and list the people killed on January 15, 1966, and the identities of their killers, but that would just be reopening old wounds. These are historical facts, which some people deny and pretend as if the Civil War happened in a vacuum.
So, please let us stop pretending as if the late Queen Elizabeth II came to Nigeria and ignited a war. The Nigerian Civil War was ignited by a series of unfortunate events that began with the cold blooded murder of 22 people from the Northern, Western, and Mid Western regions by people of mostly Eastern region origin, which led to a counter coup by Northern Nigerian military officers on July 29, 1966, and the unfortunate pogrom of 66-67.
Many people now spewing vitriol against the late Queen Elizabeth II for her alleged role in the Nigerian Civil War conveniently forget that between August 9, 1967 and September 20, 1967, Biafran forces invaded and occupied the Midwest region, and named Albert Nwazu Okonkwo, as military Governor of the Midwest. A number of non Igbo speaking Mid-Westerners lost their lives during the Biafran occupation of the Midwest.
After the Midwest was liberated by forces led by colonels Murtala Muhammed and Benjamin Adekunle, more Mid-Westerners, this time those linguistically linked to the Igbo (especially in the Asaba axis), were killed. Please research it before you insult me.
I need to add that the killings by the liberating forces were worse than the killings of the Biafrans, and should truly have been declared war crimes.
Yet, in that same Midwest, we accepted Nigerians of Southeast origin back after the war. We did not seize their properties in the abandoned property saga that occurred in the Port Harcourt area and its environs. We let bygones be bygones.
The truth of the matter is that If the January 15, 1966 coup had never happened, it is most unlikely that the Nigerian Civil War would have occurred. The perpetrators of that coup opened a Pandora’s Box that the rest of Nigeria are still suffering from today!
There was wild jubilation all over Nigeria after that coup, because Nigerians believed it was a patriotic and nationalistic coup. Then the names of those killed were announced over the radio, and it was discovered that only people from the North, West and Midwest were killed, but NOBODY from the East was killed, whereas the vast majority of those who carried out the coup were from the East.
That is the remote cause of the Nigerian Civil War. We will remember it. We will also teach it to our children, so that it does not reoccur.
So, to just keep nursing grudges and reopening old wounds will do no one any good. You can bully others into submission, but you cannot do it to Reno Omokri. I know history and I am a meticulous record keeper!
It is only those who are ignorant about how the British government works that will blame the late Queen for the actions of the British government. She was a titular and ceremonial head of state, whose actions were limited to appointing the candidate who has won election directly or indirectly as prime minister, and declaring open the parliament. She was a symbol. She was not the initiator of the policies of the British government.
And even the British government are not to blame for the Nigerian Civil War. We must learn to take responsibility for our own actions. That war was the result of the ill advised January 15, 1966 coup.
The coup itself was led by Majors Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. It was executed by the following persons:
Of these seven people, only one, Adewale Ademoyega, was non Igbo. The rest were all Igbo, although Major Nzeogwu was what was referred to at that time as Midwest Igbo (later colloquially referred to as Bendel Igbo and now as Delta Igbo). Major Donatus Okafor’s mother was Tiv. However, his father was Igbo.
Incidentally, some Igbos unwisely try to deny that Nzeogwu was Igbo, and call him ‘your South-South’ brother. Unknown to them, the more they do this, the more they make non Igbos feel that those specific Igbos who say they have learned very little since the civil war.
22 people were killed during the coup, including
1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa 2. Ahmadu Bello 3. Ahmed Ben Musa 4. Hafsatu Bello 5. Ahmed Pategi 6. Samuel Ladoke Akintola 7. Festus Okotie-Eboh 8. Brig. Samuel Ademulegun 9. Brig. Zakariya Maimalari 10. Col. Ralph Shodeinde 11. Col. Kur Mohammed 12. Lt. Col. Abogo Largema 13. Lt. Col. James Pam 14. Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe 15. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke 16. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun 17. Zarumi Sardauna 18. PC Yohana Garkawa 19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo 20. PC Akpan Anduka 21. PC Hagai Lai 22. Philip Lewande
As is clear from the list above, none of them were from the then Eastern Nigeria.
After the coup, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi took over. Rightly, or wrongly, the rest of the nation felt that a coup carried out by overwhelmingly Eastern officers, and of which the victims were entirely non Easterners, and which supplanted a Northern minority leader (Tafawa-Balewa), with an Igbo leader, (Aguiyi-Ironsi) was a set up.
However, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi’s promise to try the coup plotters placated the rest of the country. Sadly, the plotters were jailed, but were never tried. And the immediate cause of the July 29, 1966 counter coup was when rumours circulated that the coup plotters had been receiving full salaries in jail and were to be promoted.
These are facts that we all should address, rather than blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for a war she did not cause, nor had anyway of stopping. And if we do not learn from our history, there is every possibility that another war might erupt in Nigeria.
The Biafrans inflicted a very harsh occupation on present day Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, as well as present day Delta and Edo before they were flushed out by federal forces. The Bayelsa area escaped the brunt of Biafran occupation due to the fight back from Isaac Adaka Boro. They invaded Ore and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died. There is still a Yoruba proverb about the amount of people that died in Ore. Ask a Yoruba person to tell you the meaning of ‘o le ku ija Ore.
We have all forgiven and moved on. Yet, you want to reopen these old wounds and make them cancerous by blaming Queen Elizabeth II 50 years after the war?
And when you point this out, the very same people castigating the late Queen will accuse you of creating ethnic tension? Do you want to be victims and victors at the same time? Leave the woman and her family to grieve in peace. By celebrating the Queen’s death, you are giving Nigeria a very nasty reputation that will affect all of us and not only you. We cannot afford to be seen as a nation with anti British and American sentiments, when we are not able to get a better deal from China and Russia.

The crowd applauded.
One guy shouted, “Let her go! It’s unfastened speech!” even as others shouted: “Have a few respect.”
It’s a signal of the way a few, which includes the previous British Empire colonies, are suffering with the legacy of the monarchy. Earlier, proclamations have been examine in different components of the Commonwealth countries, along with Australia and New Zealand. Charles, while he mourned his past due mother, changed into attending to paintings at Buckingham Palace, assembly with the secretary-standard and different representatives of the Commonwealth, international locations grappling with affection for the queen and lingering bitterness over their colonial legacies, starting from slavery to corporal punishment in African faculties to looted artifacts held in British institutions.
