I don't know why our national dailies are not reporting Book haram activities in Nigeria. Foreign newspapers are now doing the job our local journalists should be doing. This is shameful!

The attack took place on Friday evening in the village of Kimba in Borno State. Extremists opened fire at residents and burned down the whole village.

RABAT, December 27. /TASS/. At least 14 people have been killed and dozens injured in the attack by the Boko Haram radical group in Nigeria’s north-west, Agence France-Presse reported on Sunday.

The attack took place on Friday evening in the village of Kimba in Borno State. Extremists opened fire at residents and burned down the whole village.

Boko Haram ("Western education is a sin" from the local Hausa language) is an Islamist group operating in Nigeria’s north and north-east. Boko Haram militants also attack residents in neighboring countries - Niger, Cameroon and Chad.

The group wants to establish an Islamic caliphate and introduce the sharia law on the whole territory of Nigeria. Islamists stand against Western education, democracy and the separation of powers. They also condemn wearing Western clothes and other elements of the Western culture. In

In March the group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia.

America is afraid of Russia's success in Syria

It's all Igala affair, whether PDP or APC

Lovely thread

If you like stories laced heavily with falsehood, then sahara reporters is for you. Believe it at your own destruction.

ascaris:
All former PDP rebels! Rebels will always be rebels no matter how you try to make the saints.

They are rebels, yet your party accepted and praised them for attacking GEJ because such move was favouring your party. Is there any other way to explain your hypocritical statement?

HiGod:
Just watch out for his ass being paraded as a......

OK, waiting.... don't take too much time. Thanks in advance.

attacker231:
You mean the noise of your deranged father. So you now know he is a wild animal, good of you.

This guy needs a psychiatric attention. You are too moronic and imbecilic for any remedy. You are not worth my time.

HiGod:
Shut up

Address what is being said by a worthless ibo boy called Nnamdi Kanu on Radiobiafra before asking us to look into what Dr Ariyo said.

Don't make comments because people are doing it. It'll only expose your pitiful emptiness. When you provide a link, we'll talk.

Where did i insult you? Dont start the insult cos you will regret it, Go to radiobiafra.co and listen to your mad kinsmen called Nnamdi Kanu and stop asking foolish question here. Ediotic animal.

All I can hear is the noise of an animal. Provide a link. Is the task too much for you?

attacker231:
[s][/s]


Hypocrite. Kanu is saying worst things now on radiobiafra.co and many cursed f.latties are calling in to support him.

Do you have any proof that he supported genocide. Provide a link to support that. The only thing you know how to do is to insult because your brain capacity equals the worth of your excrements.

babadee1:
Legally there is a big difference between saying "I wish something bad will happen to someone" and "I will do something bad to someone". I read the doctor's Facebook posts, he never said he would personally harm any Igbo person but he did anticipate something terrible happening to them in Lagos. I'm not excusing what he said, it was very bad but definitely not illegal. I am fairly familiar with the US legal and medical regulatory system. They don't care about things like this and won't respond to it.

Your wish to do something means if given the right condition, you will do it. It is still a threat. There are better ways to address issues. The word 'genocide' is a strong word no matter how it's used, and he said this during SA xenophobic killings. So, imagine the gravity of his words, especially when many Nigerians have been killed in SA and at home by bokoharam.

Fanirandele:
He never threatened to kill anyone what he did was predict what would happen if Igbos continue their insolence. No crime committed . You guys have been making noise for months yet the man has not even been so much as suspended

So, calling for genocide has become a prediction. Don't worry, let him keep the fire burning, as this will ultimately consume him. It's not a threat but what's realistic and achievable.

babadee1:
The man lives and works in America where he has freedom of speech. He has broken no laws so any litigation will go nowhere. He hurt some Igbo feelings and stepped on some Igbo toes, but there is no law against that. People should stop wasting their time over this nonsense.

killing and intention to kill have the same weighted consequences. When your intension to kill is known, it's enough evidence to lock you up in jail so that you will not have the opportunity to kill. In US, it's not a crime to kill someone who has threatened to kill you. Freedom of speech does not make one to make statement that threatens the existence of another person.

Some people are controlled by sentiment, hence their reasoning is very primitive. They take pride in supporting evil because they are sophistically morons. Yes, I'm referring to Ariyo's fans and friends.

adebisicutie:
They've done that already. Had many rallies in front of his office, signed petitions to the medical board to suspend his license etc. nothing, he's not going to get sacked or suspended for this so they are just constituting a nuisance

Don't worry, let him continue to wallow in his foolishness because that will be his greatest undoing. The intensity of the rally will be increased. This will be followed by litigation until Justice is done. The worst his supporters can do is to heap insults.

If the Igbos decide to organize a very big rally against this tribalistic doctor, calling for his sack from the hospital he is working, he will then learn how to allow a sleeping dog lie. This man is totally myopic.

@ Ellechrystal, thanks for the detailed comments. Only those who are blinded by sentiment that will not see how uncultured her approach was. She was totally rude and unprofessional in her approach as a journalist regardless of how bad or good Mugabe was.

signed, stamped and sealed!

coolitempa:
she has done well.....but she is overrated .....n....a core eboe tribalists. .....I don't particularly like her....

To you, she is overrated because she's not from your region/ tribe. What a myopic fellow.

I don't know why some people become apprehensive at the mention of SE/SS alliances . To me, this is a manifestation of inferiority complex, jealousy and insecurity.

PDP is really getting over 35% in Buhari supporting States. That's encouraging

Premium times and Sahara reporters always come first to break bad news.

Nigeria has a date with destiny as March 28 and April 11 draw
near. These are two significant dates that, on one hand, present
Nigerians with an opportunity to strengthen democracy through the
ballot.
These dates, on the other hand, are also beaming scaring danger
signals. No thanks to politicians who are beating drums of war,
stumping across the country, making campaign statements full of
fury, with little about issues of concern to most Nigerians. As is
typical of Nigerian elections, the tension is thick in the air, so much
so that the putrid smell of Armageddon has enveloped the country.
Fears are palpable, generating serious concerns among Nigerians
and within the international community.
Nigeria has traveled this route before, not once. There are however
reasons for genuine and heightened concern this time. The last few
years have seen widening cracks along the Nigeria ’s well-known
fault lines of religion and ethnicity. The security situation,
especially in the northeast, has been a huge sore on the reputation
of the Africa’s most populous country. The abduction of more than
200 girls from the Borno State community of Chibok nearly one
year ago, and the perceived lack of enough effort from the
government of President Goodluck Jonathan to ensure they are
rescued, are making the prospect of a peaceful poll a tall dream.
President Jonathan has had to take the blame for virtually
everything going wrong in Nigeria . Admittedly, there are issues
that currently feed this perception. They include the security
situation, corruption and poor living standards of most Nigerians.
Ordinarily, the buck stops at the desk of the president. The
opposition seems to have succeeded in creating the impression
that Mr. Jonathan merely wakes up on daily basis and does
nothing. But things don’t always seem as they look in Nigeria .
That the president has been doing nothing would not pass the
muster of nonpartisan scrutiny. What would be correct is that the
president has actually done little to publicize the many things he
has been doing. In the last six years, the government has been
confronting more fundamental issues of growth and development
with the type of vigor and single-mindedness uncommon in
Nigeria .
The Jonathan administration would trump any previous
administration in the effort made to tackle the near-complete
collapse of infrastructure such as roads, transportation and power
supply. The same can be said of employment generation and
capacity development. Nigeria ’s economy has not only survived
major shake-ups affecting most advanced economies, it has
actually also been growing in leaps and bounds, emerging as
Africa’s largest.
He has perhaps taken an ingenious route to fighting corruption. He
understands the difference between the symptoms of corruption
and the underlying causes. While many had expected a frontal
attack at the symptoms through demonstrative — even if unlawful
— actions by deploying anti-corruption forces in a frenzy of mass
arrests, media trials and public sentencing of suspects, Mr.
Jonathan has chosen to allow the justice system the space to
work.
He hasn’t stopped at that. He is, with the skill of a surgeon,
identifying the underlying causes of corruption and taking them out
one after the other. This is what he did with a fertilizer distribution
scam, which had hampered food production and diversification
effort for decades. Perhaps, he did not make enough noise on this,
but the result of his approach is loud enough for the thousands of
Nigerian farmers who now have easy access to fertilizer,
completely eliminating the meddlesome middlemen. The action is
equally loud enough for the vested interests to fight back and join
the now-profitable president-bashing choir.
The security challenge is a bit more complicated. Mr. Jonathan ’s
emergence represented a paradigm shift in the Nigerian political
arrangement. He was the first person with no strong political
background or affiliation, and from a minority tribe to become a
democratic president in Nigeria . He had not benefited from any of
the important pillars of power such as the support of a major
ethnic group. The template for success in the Nigerian environment
requires much more than the timing of response to a security
situation, such as the Chibok abduction saga. It requires the
willingness of the players within the affected area to put the safety
of lives and protection of properties of the people ahead of their
own immediate political advantage. It is not going to be easy
trimming the hair of someone who continues to run. It could take
time to either catch up with him or get him to willingly agree to the
need to solve a problem. The ability to keep calm rather than adopt
a knee-jerk and high-handed approach in the face of treachery and
impunity is a great asset the president is endowed with. This, as
the opposition is wont to do, can also be mistaken for weakness or
incompetence.
Mr. Jonathan ’s civilized approach to tackling issues is built around
the need to ensure social justice, equity and the rule of law. This
should, ordinarily, be worthy of global acknowledgment and
commendation. But the concerted noise from the opposition camp
and the penchant of some international observers to rush to
judgment without taking full account of peculiarities of an
environment are a bit deafening and blinding to the reality on
ground.
As elections are getting closer, the president is faced with the facts
that Nigerians are in a hurry. They’ve waited for too long. This is a
situation that is being exploited by opposition leaders, who have
been calling for mob actions as against the rule of law. Mr.
Jonathan has equally shown that he understands that Nigerians
are expecting a leader with a magic wand, who could with a snap
somewhere, turn age-long and deeply rooted social decay into an
instant state of bliss. But the magic wand could actually be a
possibility if current efforts are allowed another four years to take
root, grow and bear fruits.

This election postponement by six weeks is truly a blessing. It has exposed the hypocrisy of APC. Each day brings forth their evil agenda and machinations which they would have executed had the election not been postponed. We are watching them in 3Ds.

Thanks Barca, we need more of these expositions.
