The Defence Headquarters confirmed that self-
acclaimed leader of the Boko Haram sect,
Mohammed Bashir, alias “Abubakar Shekau’’ had
died in an encounter with troops at Konduga in
Borno. The Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen. Chris
Olukolade, confirmed the death of Shekau at news
conference in Abuja on Wednesday. “In course of encounters, one Mohammed Bashir,
who has been acting or posing as the deceased
Abubakar Shekau, the eccentric character known as
the leader of the group died. “Since the name Shekau has become a brand name
for the terrorists’ leader, the Nigerian military
remains resolute to serve justice to anyone who
assumes that designation or title,’’ Olukolade said. He said that the same fate await all terrorists who
sought “to violate the freedom and territory of
Nigeria’’. The defence spokesman said that the deceased
Shekau was also known as “Abacha Abdullahi
Geidam’’ and “Damasack’’. According to him, the recent devastation on the
leadership of the insurgents is attributable to the
renewed commitment to the mission of eradicating
terrorism in our country. He said that another 133 terrorists surrendered to
troops on Tuesday, bringing the total number to 148 The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that five
insurgents had surrendered to troop in Konduga
while 10 surrendered in Kawuri both in Borno
recently. Olukolade said of the 133 that surrendered on
Tuesday, 88 gave up their arms at Mairiga and
Buniyadi in Borno, while 45 surrendered at Mubi and
Michika in Adamawa. He commended the gallantry of the troops, assuring
that the military would remain undaunted in
prosecuting the campaign against terror in the
country. Olukolade said that between Sept. 12 and Sept. 17,
the insurgents made four attempts to attack
Konduga but were repelled by air and land forces
deployed to handle the situation. “The keen interest exhibited by our neighbours and
allies is commendable and we appreciate them. “All allies in the war against terrorism are hereby
assured of the Nigerian military’s resolve to maintain
the momentum in the efforts to decimate and defeat
terrorists. “It is nevertheless necessary to alert all citizens that
there is still the need for even more vigilance and
cooperation with the security forces. “Everybody is required to remain alert to ensure that
we are not taken unaware by terrorist elements, who
might want to carry out isolated attacks in any part
of our country,’’ he said. (NAN)

In a statements issued by the Defence Information Spokesperson, Maj. Gen . Chris Olukolade, the Army commended its men for their gallantry even in the face of extreme confrontation by the insurgents.

It further confirmed that on the 2 and 17 September 2014, the insurgents attempted to violate the security in the region and tried to enter Konduga to perpetrate their atrocities. It said that with Air and land forces deployed to handle the situation, the convoy of combat vehicles typical of terrorists’ mission that involves their top commanders, were fiercely engaged, where ”several of the terrorists including some of their commanders lost their lives in encounters which lasted an average of about 5 hours each. ”

The statement said the troops captured some of the terrorists and their equipment and as well killed Shekau. It said; ”In the course of those encounters, one Mohammed Bashir who has been acting or posing on videos as the deceased Abubakar Shekau, the eccentric character known as leader of the group died. Since the name Shekau has become a brand name for the terrorists’ leader, the Nigerian military remains resolute to serve justice to anyone who assumes that designation or title as well as all terrorists that seek to violate the freedom and territory of Nigeria,”the military warned.

[size=16pt] Fastest and smartest thinking human brain in the world today is Nigerian

Our man Dr. Emeagwali...beats the whole world of blacks, whites, and coloured !


http://www.black-inventor.com/Dr-Philip-Emeagwali.asp[/size]


Dr. Philip Emeagwali, who has been called the "Bill Gates of Africa," was born in Nigeria in 1954. Like many African schoolchildren, he dropped out of school at age 14 because his father could not continue paying Emeagwali's school fees. However, his father continued teaching him at home, and everyday Emeagwali performed mental exercises such as solving 100 math problems in one hour. His father taught him until Philip "knew more than he did."

Growing up in a country torn by civil war, Emeagwali lived in a building crumbled by rocket shells. He believed his intellect was a way out of the line of fire. So he studied hard and eventually received a scholarship to Oregon State University when he was 17 where he obtained a BS in mathematics. He also earned three other degrees – a Ph.D. in Scientific computing from the University of Michigan and two Masters degrees from George Washington University.

The noted black inventor received acclaim based, at least in part, on his study of nature, specifically bees. Emeagwali saw an inherent efficiency in the way bees construct and work with honeycomb and determined computers that emulate this process could be the most efficient and powerful. In 1989, emulating the bees' honeycomb construction, Emeagwali used 65,000 processors to invent the world's fastest computer, which performs computations at 3.1 billion calculations per second.

Dr. Philip Emeagwali's resume is loaded with many other such feats, including ways of making oil fields more productive – which has resulted in the United States saving hundreds of millions of dollars each year. As one of the most famous African-American inventors of the 20th century, Dr. Emeagwali also has won the Gordon Bell Prize – the Nobel Prize for computation. His computers are currently being used to forecast the weather and to predict the likelihood and effects of future global warming.

For more information on Dr. Philip Emeagwali, refer to:

Dr. Philip Emeagwali, "Father of the Internet"




He's NOT a Nobel Prize winner.. useless effort.

THE RAGTAG BOKO HARAM HAS SHAKEN YOUR ARMY TO THE CORE. HOW WILL WE CONSIDER NIGERIAN MILITARY TO BE THE BEST WHEN THEY FAILED TO PREVENT MASS DEATH OF HUMANITY. ANY PERSON WHO MAY REGARD THEM AS SUCH IS SUPPOSED TO BE MENTALLY CHECKED.


HOWEVER, IN THIS REGARD HONOUR GOES TO CAMEROONIAN MILITARY WHO FOUGHT TERRORISM WITH VIGOUR AND BRAVERY WITHOUT TAKING TO THEIR HEELS AS WE HAVE SEEN WITH NIGERIAN MILITARY.


IT IS HOWEVER, WITHOUT DOUBTS THAT CAMEROON MILITARY CAN DEFEAT NIGERIAN MILITARY WITHOUT ANY FUSS.
