“The Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj-Gen Rogers Nicholas is a man of the moment, after holding a successful town hall meeting along with the Ministers of Defense, Interior, Budget and National Planning, Mannir Dan-Ali, Abdulrahaman Danbazau, Zainab Ahmed

Dan-Ali listed the successes of the military to include the degrading of the capacities of Boko Haram, destruction of several arms, ammunition and camps and the promotion of many officers and soldiers to their higher ranks.

How much has been earnmarked to liberate communities plagued by exploitation and environmental pollution in the states funding Nigeria?

In other news, FG is trying to build a refinery in Niger/Nigeria border but can't build newer ones in the south. Why didn't Dangote chose Niger Republic to build his if it was truly a feasible venture? We are bound to keep subsidizing these people while they monopolize juicy opportunities in the south.

Ok, let's see how it goes.
