Christianity EtcIsis Latest: At Least Three Leaders Of Extremist Militant Group Killed. by bendeco(op): 9:11pm On Dec 18, 2014
At least three senior leaders of Isis have been killed in US
airstrikes in Iraq in the past month and a half, US defense
officials announced today.



General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, told the Wall Street Journal in an interview that Haji
Mutazz, a deputy to Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi; Abd al-
Basit, the top military commander; and Radwin Talib, who is
in control of Isis in Iraq, were killed.
Mr Dempsey told the newspaper that the deaths of Mutazz and
al-Basit would deal a particularly serious blow to Isis'
"planning and command and control".



However, the official said the hindrance may only be
temporary, as Isis is likely to have replacements lined up.
Dempsey said the senior leaders were killed in recent weeks as
part of expanding effort with partner nations to combat the
militants.

PoliticsSanusi Lamido Sanusi Backs Vigilantes, Doubts Military In B/ Haram Fight by bendeco(op): 7:45am On Nov 18, 2014
One of Nigeria’s most powerful Muslim leaders, the
emir of Kano, has voiced support for vigilantes
fighting Boko Haram, urging others to form civilian
militias and questioning the competence of the
military.

The comments were made by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,
who became emir earlier this year after being sacked
from his post as the central bank governor, where he
was one of the government’s most high-profile
critics.
It is extremely rare for Nigeria’s clerics to speak
explicitly about political and military affairs, but
many expected Sanusi to defy convention and inject
himself into public debate after assuming the highly
influential post.

“People should be sensitised on the importance of
being on the alert. And they should prepare, they
should acquire what they will defend themselves
with,” Sanusi said during Friday prayers at the central
mosque in Kano, the largest city in Nigeria’s mainly
Muslim north.
AFP obtained a copy of the transcript of the recording
on Monday. While Sanusi did not mention Boko
Haram by name, it was clear he was discussing efforts
to resist the Islamist rebels.

“Those that are endowed as hunters and vigilantes
should apply this endowment given to them by Allah
as an avenue of earning divine reward in defending
their nation,” he said.
Nigeria’s military has been cooperating with various
vigilante forces in the northeast for more than a
year, often relying on civilians to do the bulk of the
fighting against the insurgents.

Witnesses said it was vigilantes who recaptured the
symbolically important northeast town of Chibok
from Boko Haram at the weekend, with troops
staying clear of the heavy fighting.
Chibok was where the Islamists kidnapped 276
schoolgirls in April. Fifty-seven have escaped.
“We should not wait for soldiers to come, before they
come the carnage will have been done,” Sanusi told
the congregation. “Some of them drop their guns and
flee.”


The military has repeatedly been accused of leaving
civilians defenceless against Boko Haram attacks and
failing to respond to distress calls made in advance of
raids.

While Sanusi’s comments were similar to those made
by President Goodluck Jonathan’s critics, they may
feed added resentment towards the government
because the emir of Kano is expected to stay above
the political fray.

Days after Jonathan sacked him from the central
bank, Sanusi told AFP that the president was a
“simple” man who had been misled and manipulated
by incompetent advisors.

Officially, Sanusi is the number two Islamic cleric in
Nigeria, home to more than 80 million Muslims.
But many consider the emir of Kano to be more
influential than the sultan of Sokoto, who is the
country’s top Islamic leader.
PoliticsBoko Haram: Bauchi Bomb Explosion- Death Tolls Rises To 31 by bendeco(op): 4:26pm On Nov 17, 2014
Bauchi-The causality figure of the yesterday bomb
explosion that rocked a busy phone market known as
Kasuwan Jagol in Azare, Katagum Local Government
Area of Bauchi state has risen to 31 while 30 patients
are currently on admission.

However the Chief Medical Director of Azare Medical
Centre Dr. Abduallhi Ibrahim told newsmen that the
hospital recorded 17 deaths and 30 of the victims of
the bomb explosion are on admission.
While giving the breakdown of the causality figure,
Dr. Ibrahim said out of the 17 that died in the
hospital 14 are victims of the explosion and 3 are
suspected suicide bombers.

He confirmed that Doctors and Nurses have defied
Joint Health Workers Union strike to attend to the
victims of the bomb blast and that they patients are
responding to treatment.
However, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP
Haruna Mohammed confirmed that one person
identified as one of the insurgents was lynched to
death by mob action.

Meanwhile, as at last night the Police spokesman
confirmed 13 persons dead while 65 sustained
various degrees of injuries out of which 43 have
been treated and discharged and 22 others are
responding to treatment.

This brings the total of causality figure of the
explosion to 31 and 22 on admission. He added that
the scene of the explosion was visited and cordoned
off by Police explosive ordinance disposal unit while
casualties were evacuated to the Federal Medical
Center Azare for medical attention.

Haruna disclosed that normalcy has been restored in
Azare by combine security forces and patrols are
being intensified within and outside the town.
Meanwhile, the minority leader of the state House of
Assembly Honourable Suleiman Baba has berated the
federal government for allowing the insecurity in the
area persist as the recent was the third explosion in
the area in one month.

He said, “12 killed, 64 were injured in Azare blast
suspected to be carried out by a female suicide
bomber. Its unacceptable triplets bomb within one
month it shows failure of leadership.”
PoliticsLagos State: PDP Chieftain Hopeful Party Will Win In 2015 by bendeco(op): 4:17pm On Nov 17, 2014
Mr Sunday Olaifa, the Chairman, Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), Oshodi/Isolo Local Government, said he
was confident that the PDP would form the next
government in the state.

Olaifa told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on
Monday in Lagos that “Lagosians are yearning for a
change and are tired of the neglect of the
commoners by the ruling party in the state’’.

He said that the PDP had resolved to come out with
the best candidates at all levels through the
primaries.
According to him, it is becoming increasingly clear to
the ruling party in the state that by one man, one
vote, PDP would win the coming governorship and
other elections in the state.

“As a party, we are doing everything humanly
possible and legally to ensure victory. We have done
reconciliation in the state like it had never been done
before.
“We have gone far in the area of mobilisation as it
had never been done in the party.

“The state executives went on tour of all the 20 local
government chapters of the party across the state
and the local government chapter leaderships also
went on a tour of all the wards aimed at massive
mobilisation drive.
“It can be seen that Lagosians have in totality been
rejecting the APC. One can feel it that the coming
elections will not be business as usual in favour of
the APC.

“The APC in Lagos State has taken the common
people for granted for so long. The tax burden in
Lagos is another reason why Lagosians have decided
to reject APC in the forthcoming 2015 general
elections, ’’ Olaifa said.

He condemned the blanket ban on
`Okada’ (motorcycle) without alternative provisions
to the riders as well as the rising tuition fees in
schools.

Olaifa alleged that there was an attempt by some
APC leaders during the INEC’s card distribution
exercise in Lagos Mainland Local Government
Council, to exchange unclaimed Permanent Voter’s
Cards for the Temporary Voter’s Cards they came
with.

He said the INEC voter’s cards distribution officer
turned down the request.
Olaifa drew the attention of the INEC Chairman,
Prof. Attahiru Jega to ongoing rigging at the various
polling units in the state.
“I have no doubt in my mind that in a free and fair
election, Lagosians have come to a conclusion to
reject the APC in the next general election in the
state come 2015,’’ he said.

Efforts to speak with the Lagos State APC Chairman,
Chief Henry Ajomale was not successful as his phone
line was switched off.

CultureHistory Of Onitsha Ado In Anambra State by bendeco(op): 6:20pm On Nov 16, 2014
The history of Onitsha is said to have begun with the
migration of its people from the Benin Empire
towards the end of early part of the 16th century as a
result of a wave of unrest, war and displacement
unleashed by the Islamic movement from North
Africa. One version said that it was during their
passage through the outskirts of Ile-Ife that they
acquired the name Onitsha, a corruption of Orisha
Udo.
Another version has it that their migration to East of
the Niger has to do with a misunderstanding that
arose between the Onitsha family and Oba Esigie
(1404-1550), following the slighting of their shrine,
Udo, by the Oba. According to the legend, it was
customary for newly installed Oba to pay homage to
all important shrines in the Benin Kingdom by
slaughtering a cow in the shrines enclave. But Oba
Esigie is said to have refused to do this at the Onitsha
people’s Udo-Shrine, hence the quarrel and the
migration down towards the River Niger area and
across it.
Ukpabi disagrees with the Oba Esigie angle and posits
that the misunderstanding and migration was rather
as a result of “a fight over a farmland. These other
people fighting over farmland with the others and
interest started coming. And because of interest,
bitterness ensued and the two brothers decided to go
their separate ways. One said, no, ‘I will now leave
you, I’m going to Ado N’Idu.’ ‘Ado’ means border. ‘I
will leave you and go and settle down on my own. I’m
no longer going to be with you.’ That’s the issue. So,
the two brothers had to separate.”
Onitsha, capital of Igbo Kingdom
The immigrant settlers from Benin were said to have
been helped by the Igalas to cross the river to settle
in Onitsha in the 16th century, which was originally
called Ado N’Idu. It soon became the capital of an
Igbo Kingdom. In 1857, British traders in palm oil
established a permanent station in the city, and
Christian missionaries soon followed, headed by
Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a Yoruba) and
Reverend John Taylor (an Igbo).
In 1884, Onitsha became part of a British
protectorate. The British colonial government and
Christian missionaries penetrated most of Igboland
to set up their administration, schools and churches
through the river port at Onitsha.
Historically, Onitsha became an important trading
port for the Royal Niger Company in the mid-1850s.
Following the abolition of slavery, trade in palm
kernels and other cash crops boomed around this
river port. Immigrants from the hinterland were
drawn to the emerging boom town as did the British
traders who settled there and coordinated the palm
oil and cash crops trade.
Colonial relics and post-colonial architectural
wonders
Areas bordering Old Market, New Market Roads,
Upper Market Road, Modebe Avenue, Iboku, Old
Cemetry, Old Hospital, Mbanugo St, Emejulu St, Obi
Street, Benjamin St, Court, Enugu Road, Awka Road,
Egerton, etc are known as Whitemen Quarters, so-
called because the white colonial masters who first
settled in Onitsha, used to live here. And, even till
today, the white colonial style of buildings such as
you see at Yaba, Ebute Metta and Central Lagos, can
be seen existing, side by side, with the new, on these
streets.
But much more modern exotic architectural wonders
exist in places like the G.R.A and “33” Housing
Estates. Sunday Sun understands that SCityGate Real
Estate Ltd, located on Mike Ilodibe Crescent and
which specializes in building ultra-modern
architectural structures, makes such building wonders
happen for interested clients. In 1965, a bridge was
built across the Niger River to replace the ferry
crossing. Today, plans are said to be underway to
build the Second Niger Bridge.
Onitsha is made up of three groups of people, Ukpabi
reveals. The first is the Edos, the Ezechima’s team.
The second, Igalas. They were the people that were
fishing at the Niger by the time Onitsha people came
to settle there. The third, the Igbos who are very
close to the Niger and had integrated with them.
These three groups make up what is today known as
Onitsha.”
“Their tradition is blended with the three peoples,
first the Edos, second the Igalas”, Ukpabi says. “In
fact, in the past, there were some villages in Onitsha
that spoke Igala. And they are made up of two
villages. They are still in Onitsha. Onitsha is made up
of nine villages. Two out of the nine are purely the
Igalas: Ogbodu and Obigboru. So, that is how Onitsha
people came to be.
“The ones with Edo influence are the monarchy itself.
That’s the Eze Chima, that is the ruling villages. They
are four in number. Umueze Aroli, Okebunabu
(which include Umudei and Ogbabu) and Olosi. The
present Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Achebe is the 21st Obi
of Onitsha.”
Inter-marriages, says Ukpabi, have long existed
between the Igalas and the Edos. “The people our
ancestors met fishing at the bank of the River Niger
were purely Igallas. They were following the Niger all
the way from their place to Onitsha. So, they don’t
normally come to the upper land. They remain there.
They have their buildings in their canoes. So, we
attracted them into coming to the hinterland. We
started intermarrying with them. One of the
outstanding monarchs of Onitsha, Obi Eze Aroli, the
mother, Enubi, is from Igala.”
