Kogi Sate Governor Idris
Wada has been discharged
from hospital after he was
treated of injuries
sustained in a car crash
Friday. Wada was hospitalised at the Cedarcrest Hospital in Abuja following the accident which occurred while he was returning to Lokoja after attending a function in Ayingba. Wada sustained leg fracture while his ADC, Idris Muhammed, died on the spot Wada’s spokesman, Jacob Edi, announced the discharge yesterday after a
successful surgery operation.Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Felix Ogedengbe, said the governor could recuperate at home while his thigh heals. Ogedengbe said the hospital only administered treatment to enable Wada regain mobility, adding that
the fracture could take up to six months to heal. First photographs of the governor in hospital emerged Monday when President Goodluck Jonathan visited him. Several ministers and governors have also visited Wada at the hospital. Wada’s medical team had suggested treatment abroad but the governor insisted on treatment in Nigeria.However, his driver, Jubril Isah, is still in hospital in Lokoja receiving treatment.

President Goodluck
Jonathan yesterday paid a
visit to Governor Idris
Wada of Kogi State at the
Cedarcrest Hospital in
Abuja where he is recuperating from injuries
he sustained in a car crash
on Friday. Photo-journalists were allowed to join Jonathan into Wada’s hospital room, and they came out with images of the ailing governor that were seen publicly for the first time since his convoy accident. Photos taken during the visit show Wada sitting in a bed smiling as he shook hands with the President. He exchanged greetings with Jonathan, who asked how he was doing to which he responded that he was getting better. Wada also told the President that a day after he was brought to hospital,
he felt he was well enough to return to Lokoja but doctors told him to stay back for some more days. Soon after this, photo- journalists were asked to leave the room. The President spent about 15 more minutes with Wada, but declined to speak to newsmen on his way out. The governor did not stand up while photo- journalists were in the room, but the presence of a
crutch by the wall indicated
that he is probably fit enough to use it to walk. Earlier, Jonathan, who was accompanied by some of his aides, was received at the private hospital by Health Minister Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu. Chief Medical Director of the
hospital Dr Felix Ogedengbe ushered the president’s entourage into the governor’s ward. Ogedengbe told newsmen shortly after the visit that the governor was doing well after a surgery and would be discharged from hospital “in a few days time.” “He is already doing step- climbing. He is doing very well at the moment. You know it was a severe injury,” he said. “We have continued to watch out for any other problem that he might have, but at this stage, we have not seen any other problem at all. “From the medical point of view, he is quite healthy and he should be ready to go back home in a couple of days. “I can only at this stage tell you that he will be ready to
go back home in a few days but I won’t be able to tell you specifically which day. He is not going to be in the hospital for weeks, he does not need to be here for weeks.” Wada’s spokesman Mr Jacob Edi said the governor had undergone a successful surgery to fix the broken bone in his thigh. “He has been receiving high profile visitors and to cap it all, is the visit of Mr President,” he said.On the governor’s security in the hospital, Edi said although the hospital was small, “his security is in the hands of God. We believe that God will protect him.” In Wada’s convoy accident on Friday, his aide-de-camp Idris Mohammed died on the spot while the governor and his driver Jubril Isah sustained injuries. The late Mohammed was buried on Saturday in Zaria, while Isah is said to be responding to treatment at the Kogi State Specialist Hospital in Lokoja. Other public officials who visited Wada at the hospital in Abuja include Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, Gombe State Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, Katsina State Governor Ibrahim Shema and Mrs Amina Yakowa, wife of the late Kaduna State governor.

Written by Mr ibi daniel When radical or extremist Muslims react we (Christians) complain but look at how we Christians too look for trouble:
Someone posted a pix of a Quran in the toilet with the following texts: "this is where it should be"
. Again, not too long ago in the North, a Christian tailor made a shirt for a customer and called it "the holy prophet has gone to the market".
You call them radicalists and extremists yet you still provoke them with pictures and annoying comments.
You continue trying to "win or convert a soul" even when the soul tells u he/she is a Muslim and not willing to but when he/she looses patience and reacts, you call them wicked people.
Am not talking or taking sides with those who indiscriminatly commit crime under religious guise. Fellow Christians, just as true Muslims won't force you to get converted & don't come to you for soul winning (they believe in voluntary repentance after a remorseful thought), don't push your luck too far. We serve the same God and that's good enough. Let's respect each other's religion and beliefs for peace to reign.
Happy last day of the year

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — The armed men dragged Musa Muhammad out of his house and ordered him to lie face down on the ground. Then they grabbed his son. After asking his name, the men issued their judgment. “I heard three gunshots — pop, pop, pop,” Muhammad recalled, his voice trembling, his fingers in the shape of a pistol. “My son was dead, killed in front of me.”

His assailants were not the radical Islamists who have brutalized this town. They were government security forces sent to protect the residents.

In the epicenter of one of Africa's most violent religious extremist movements, civilians are caught in a guerrilla conflict that has shattered families and communal relationships. The Boko Haram, a homegrown group with suspected ties to al-Qaeda, is assassinating people nearly every day, targeting Christians, soldiers, police, even astrologers as it seeks to weaken the Western-allied government and install Islamic sharia law in this nation.

But the security forces have also carried out extrajudicial killings, imprisoned hundreds on flimsy grounds, looted and burned shops and houses, according to victims, local officials and human rights activists.

“We are trapped in between the Boko Haram and the security forces,” said Hauwa Yerima, a human rights activist. “Life has become so difficult for us in Maiduguri.”

She and Muhammad asked that their grandfathers’ last names be used instead of their surnames because they feared reprisals by the military or police. People here often have multiple surnames.

Lt. Col. Sagir Musa, a spokesman for the security units, which are known as the Joint Military Task Force or JTF, denied the allegations. He said that soldiers follow appropriate rules of engagement and that there “has not been any established case of extrajudicial killings, illegal detentions or harassment by the JTF forces.”

This sprawling northeastern town is the birthplace and stronghold of the Boko Haram. From here, what began as a nonviolent Islamist uprising fueled by poverty, inequality and government corruption in 2002 has grown into a shadowy insurgency that U.S. and Western officials say has increasing connections to al-Qaeda affiliates. The militia has also sought to exploit long-standing tensions between Muslims and Christians in the northern part of this oil-rich nation of 160 million.

But as Boko Haram becomes more lethal, the actions by the security forces could harm their efforts to gather vital intelligence to thwart the extremists, local officials said. The group has no shortage of supporters here, even as their attacks have intensified in recent months.

“In a guerrilla war, you need the help of the local population. But the security forces are alienating the people,” said Muhammad Abdullahi, the provincial director of religious affairs. “They are making their jobs more difficult for themselves.”

Two days earlier, a soldier shot and injured one of Abdullahi’s co-workers in the abdomen as he approached a checkpoint.

On that fall afternoon in Musa Muhammad’s neighborhood, Boko Haram militants ambushed and killed two soldiers on a nearby street. The security forces flooded in, rounding up youths, searching houses and firing guns in the air. They accused residents of being Boko Haram loyalists and harboring members. After the soldiers allowed Muhammad to stand up, he saw several bodies lying near a wall, he recalled.

The corpse of his 29-year-old son, who owned a small store, had been thrown on top.

Following a government crackdown in 2009, Boko Haram clashed with security forces in Maiduguri, attacking police stations. That same year, its leader, Mohammed Yusuf, was killed while in police custody, cementing the metamorphosis into a violent movement. Since 2010, the extremists have bombed churches, mosques, banks, government and U.N. buildings, and even schools, killing more than 1,500 people.

The nature of violence

The militia’s ambitions and brutality appear to be growing. Boko Haram, whose name roughly means “Western education is a sin,” killed more than 815 people in the first nine months of 2012, more than 2010 and 2011 combined, according to Human Rights Watch. The latest victims died Friday, when suspected militants attacked a village near here, killing at least 15 people, including women and children, slitting many of their throats.

Once focused on northeastern Nigeria, the group has widened its attacks across the north. Suicide bombings, a rarity in West Africa, have become more common. Among its new targets are cellphone towers and mobile phone company offices, which the militia accuses of aiding government security agencies monitoring its members.

The group also appears to be seeking a bigger role in global jihad. Last month, its leader, Abubakar Shekau, in a propaganda video shown on extremist Web sites, expressed solidarity with al-Qaeda and its affiliates and threatened the United States, which in June placed him on its list of global terrorists.

In a telephone interview, a senior Boko Haram commander said some fighters have traveled to northern Mali, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia to train in jihadist camps and then returned to Nigeria. Others have remained in those countries to fight alongside militant groups such as al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the network’s West and North Africa affiliate and one of three groups controlling northern Mali, said the commander, who used his nom de guerre, Abu Mariam.

A more violent splinter faction has also emerged within Boko Haram this year. Known as Ansaru, its fighters recently took responsibility for the kidnapping of a French engineer this month near Nigeria’s border with Niger, where the militia has also infiltrated.

“The Muslim Ummah are unified against fighting the forces of the nonbelievers,” said Abu Mariam, using the Arabic word for “nation.” “Anytime, anywhere, if we have the opportunity to target our enemies, we will attack.”

In some villages around Maiduguri, the militants have imposed strict Islamic sharia law, residents said. They have banned smoking and alcohol, as well as playing soccer and dara, a local version of chess, deeming them un-Islamic. Women have been ordered to wear veils.

In Maiduguri, assassins on bikes and motorcycles move openly, targeting people in daylight. By 7 p.m., most streets are deserted. Residents lock themselves in, praying that neither the militants nor the security forces will turn up at their door.

Eight months ago, Boko Haram militants killed a close friend and neighbor of Babakyari Adam. They were both astrologers. “They say what we are doing is against Islam,” said Adam, 48. “They say we are sorcerers.”

He fled Maiduguri but six weeks ago returned to be with his family. Today, he rarely steps outside his house. “I am afraid the Boko Haram will come back and kill me if they know I am in town,” Adam said.

Widening divisions

In 2011, most attacks targeted Muslims aligned with the government. But attacks against Christians have risen since January. This year, there have been at least 37 attacks against churches and 21 targeting mosques, according to a project by the think tank Council on Foreign Relations that tracks political violence in Nigeria.

Inside a desolate church, only 45 worshipers attended Christmas service. Last year, radical Islamists hurled grenades into the compound, killing a guard. In April, they murdered the reverend. Once numbering in the thousands, much of the congregation has fled Maiduguri.

The church is in a neighborhood dubbed “Tora Bora,” after Osama bin Laden’s hideout in Afghanistan, because it is a Boko Haram stronghold. On this holy day, heavily armed soldiers peered from behind sandbags, searching everyone who entered for bombs and weapons.

The Islamists have killed many of the congregants’ relatives, including the husband of Pipi Alfas’s niece. She was expecting a baby in December.

“What will a child without a father do?” Alfas asked. “We are living in fear.”

Maiduguri, like other northern areas, has experienced spasms of religious and ethnic violence over the years. But Christians and Muslims have, for the most part, coexisted peacefully here for decades. They attended the same schools. Muslims married Christians; to this day, many families are composed of followers of both religions. Today, Christians and Muslims are becoming more divided, leaders of both communities said this week.

“Nowadays, you don’t know who Boko Haram is among the people,” said Ishrah Garba, the pastor of Alfas’s church, the Church of Christ in Nigeria. “We have to be careful.”

He no longer wears his clerical collar in town, hiding his religion from assassins.

“At times, we hear them say, ‘We will kill every Christian in the area, so that the neighborhood will be ours,’ ” said Alfas, referring to her Muslim neighbors, whom she rarely speaks to anymore.

Yerima, the human rights activist, recalled how she sent food during Eid al-Adha, the Muslim religious festival, to a Christian neighbor, a ritual she has done for the past two decades. This year, the neighbor refused to accept the food.

When asked why the militia is killing Christians, Abu Mariam dismissed the question with his own.

“Why is the West killing Muslims? They have attacked Muslims in Afghanistan, in Yemen, in Pakistan with drones. They are killing Muslims everywhere with drones,” he said. “Why ask about the Christians? Are they the only human beings?”

‘Who can I complain to?’

The security forces have killed almost as many people as Boko Haram has, according to Human Rights Watch. They also have detained numerous victims without charges or trials, human rights activists say.

“They are worse than the enemy,” said Murtalla Muhammed, a lecturer at the University of Maiduguri. “The whole image of the military has gone down here. They are seen as brutal.”

The victims included the brother of Umar Muhammad, a 33-year-old technician who is not related to Musa. Soldiers accused him of being part of Boko Haram and interrogated him. He had no access to a lawyer. Then, his brother said, he was beaten to death in custody.

The day after his son was killed, Musa Muhammad went to the morgue to pick up the body. One of the bullets has been shot point blank into his neck, he said.

“Who can I complain to?” Muhammad asked. “Now, we fear both Boko Haram and the security forces.”

He was too traumatized, he said, to wash his son’s body before burial as Muslim customs dictate.

Former head of state and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in the 2011 elections, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday gave out his daughter, Halima in marriage to Alhaji Babagana Muhammed Sherriff.

The Emir of Borgu, Alhaji Haliru Dantoro, who stood in as the bride’s father, gave out Buhari’s daughter after the payment of a golden coin, equivalent of N200, 000 as bride price.

Former governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Sherriff, received the bride on behalf of the groom.

The wedding fatiha was conducted by the chief imam of the Yahaya Road Jumat Mosque at the same venue in the presence of Gen. Buhari and invited dignitaries, including Senator Kanti Bello, Gen. Buba Marwa and governors of Kano, Borno, Kaduna states, and the deputy governor of Nasarawa State, under a very tight security.

Speaking to journalists at the venue of the reception, which was opened to men alone, General Buhari expressed satisfaction that his daughter, who is a lawyer, got married.

He advised the couple to continue to be patient with each other and remain prayerful in all their endeavours.

[color=#000099][/color] Anybody, I repeat ANYBODY, that says it is haram (forbidden) to say "Merry Xmas" to Christians is really misrepresenting Islam, he is not showing the real Islam that Prophet Muhammad left for us. If you don't want to say it, it is left to you, but don't send false and wrong information. Is this how you want them to join your religion when you are showing them your intolerance. These are hard times, Muslims have suffering already with the bad image given to them by religious extremists claiming to be fighting for them. The bad name Muslims are giving Islam is enough, please don't add to it.

To My Christian brothers,
Please don't mind those Muslims spreading such messages, ignore them, that is not the teaching of Islam, they are sending false alarms. Islam is all about tolerance and understanding. Ignore them, don't judge Islam with the actions of such Muslims please. Judge Islam with what the Holy Prophet said. Islam is always misunderstood, even by the Muslims themselves sometimes.

Muslims of Nigeria and Arewa in particular, why is it that we are adamant and redundant, we don't want to change, this dogmatic attitude of ours is what is making us underdeveloped, we don't want to learn. If this was the way the Holy Prophet did, he won't had gained any followers, well, if this was the way Arab Traders did to our forefathers, they won't have embrace Islam. Islam preaches peace. The prophet visited his jewish neighbour when he was sick, the man later converted. This is the same man who use to put thorns on his way and pour refuse in his yard. Pathetic, how we Muslims of nowadays prefer extremist ideologies to Moderate ones. ALLAH (SWT) went to the extent of saying we can marry Christians and Jewish women and even eat their food. Let's be sincere, common sense we should apply here, if ALLAH (SWT) allowed us to eat their food, so what is wrong in we wishing them "Merry Christmas"??

For God sake! What kind of people are we Muslims trying to make, we claim to be salafis but we are not following the way of the Salafs, because the did not act this way!

I pray my Muslim brothers understand, and if they don't, its not my business because your extremism only lingers in your own head. My problem is that you are TARNISHING the image of my great religion which is totally unacceptable. I feel like crying when I see how Muslims are giving Islam a bad name.

I pray we are guided. May ALLAH guide all of us. Ameen.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my Christian brothers and sisters. Please don't forget to pray for Nigeria.

Stay blessed.

Barring a last-minute change, Governor Muktar Ramalan Yero will today present the name of Ambassador Nuhu Bajoga to the State House of Assembly for confirmation as Kaduna State deputy governor. Bajoga, 63, is chairman of the state chapter of the ruling People’s Democratic Party and a former Nigerian ambassador to Poland. Senior party and government sources told Daily Trust yesterday that Bajoga was endorsed at the PDP caucus meeting in Kaduna on Saturday. The meeting was chaired by Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo, and attended by Yero and other top-notch party members. At the opening of the meeting, the governor solicited for the support of the caucus in choosing the best deputy governor for the state. Sources at the meeting told Daily Trust yesterday that with the endorsement by the caucus, Bajoga’s appointment is very likely to be announced today. A source close to the Kaduna Government House told our reporter that Bajoga was seen in the past
three days attending various meetings with Yero
and other top party leaders. This, the source said, was preparatory to his appointment as deputy governor. Bajoga’s endorsement was coming a week after the death of Mr Patrick Yakowa in a helicopter crash in Bayelsa State. Meanwhile, the Coalition of Concerned Southern Kaduna Professionals has opposed the selection of Bajoga as deputy governor. “We are against the selection of Nuhu Audu Bajoga, present state chairman of PDP as Deputy Governor nominee from Southern Kaduna area, because it is a calculated plot to deprive the Southern Kaduna area from holding the PDP state chair that is of immense political value and significance,” the group said in a statement jointly signed by Dr. Kyari Yates and Dr. John Danfulani. “It is also in the spirit of renewed political enslavement of our people using such a divisive and sinister Greek gift. There are more qualified youthful and competent Southern Kaduna politicians and professionals who fit into role expected of a sound deputy governor in all means.” They added: “We are declaring our total resistance of this action, as part of thee encroaching political extinction of our people via the promotion of ‘gerontocracy’ and complete sidelining of Southern Kaduna’s younger generation and the institutionalization of Northern Kaduna over lordship over our people.” “This act of imposing a 63 years old man would not have been conceived in good faith since the man, Nuhu Bajoga, would be too old to aspire for the office of the governor at the expiration of the present administration--this will ultimately scuttle our chances of piloting the affairs of the state in alternate manner as required by the principle of fair play,” the group said.
