lordjay: I'll be in Uyo by next week and I'll do all I can to snap and upload pictures of the Olympic size stadium project. The last time I visited the site about 3 months ago, construction on my own accessment could be put at about 30-35 percent completion, Julius Berger no dey dull.

A statement issued in Abuja by Brigadier General Chris Olukolade, Director of Defence Information, disclosed that troops deployed to Borno and Yobe have captured some notorious leaders Boko Haram, and recovered various weapons

Their names were however not revealed. But independent investigations confirm that Momodu Bama a member of the Boko Haram Shura Council was amongst those arrested.

An arrested member of the Boko Haram militant, shocked the people of Ngomari ward ‘Bakin Borehole’ in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, when he confessed killing 23 people in two days, while also slaughtering a village head and police officers in the area.

The Boko Haram member who was arrested on Tuesday evening in the area was said to have relocated about a year ago and hired a room apartment in a house where he lived as one of the innocent Borno citizens who had runaway from the troubled zone for safety.

A resident of Ngomari who pleaded not to be mentioned told DailyPost on Wednesday in Maiduguri that, the sect member was arrested wearing a jeans trouser and vest at the borehole when he went out to fetch water.



According to him, the militant who was arrested by ‘Civilian JTF’ was a resident of Gwange and his arrest was made possible when the vigilante youth went looking for him and arrested his younger brother who took them to Ngomari where his brother, the sect member now lives.

“We were shocked when we heard that, civilian JTF came and arrested a sect member in our area. We have never imagined we could have somebody like that in our area because we have been living peacefully. We were the most shocked when the sect member confessed that he killed 23 people in two days. That is horrible and unimaginable, but a reality.” He said.

He also said that, while the youth group were beating the arrested sect member, they also asked him of one Idris Musa, whom he told them was living in Ndollari a suburb of Ngomari.

Meanwhile, the ‘Civilian JTF’ was seen today, Wednesday, in front of the ANPP State Chairman’s house in Maiduguri at about 7:15am, barely 24 hours after it was reported that, the youth group were hunting for the politician for allegedly sponsoring terrorism in the state.

asha 80: what is going on aguleri otuocha?

Eko Ile: It's always the same noise and more noise without any effort to at least dispute the facts and pictures with their own pictures and facts..


It's all tribal worries instead of real and genuine concern about these poor kids..

What a pity..

Eko Ile: Illiterate, the pic I posted said secondary school and what you posted said primary school....


Do you not know the difference between primary and secondary school or you just don't know how to read and comprehend simple English?


You are probably a sad product of one of these unfortunate schools..

KenGali: Note:
One of the major instruments of equitable income distribution in South East Nigeria is small scale trading.
I too like the idea of Departmental stores and Praise Obi for what he is trying to do, but lets not be lost to its implication.
We are inviting Shopright from South Africa to take over our local commerce business as if it is an achievement.

Mind you that after some time such stores will become the cheapest sellers, and will drive away a lot of small scale traders ( just like ASDA, TESCO, etc in UK). That is Unemployment and capital loss waiting to happen. Such stores if big enough can negatively affect farmers of fresh products like milk, vegetables. We need to look at the long run, what will be their position in the next 15 to 20 years. Such stores must be greatly localised, because as their luxury value wears off, they will swallow up open markets in their vicinity.

Please we should change strategies. I believe what we want are efficient Malls or Departmental Stores, not just Shopright. I suggest that government craft policies that will force market traders into co-operatives that will establish and market their own brand of Departmental Stores or Malls. 2 or 3 of them competing across the state and eventually extending to other states. They can compete with Shopright and the rest. A situation were the Govt. is using tax payers resources to import and aid a departmental store is not healthy. At the very least, they should go into partnership with local traders' co-operative.
Commerce is very important to Anambra state, lets not shoot ourselves in the foot! Please Beware!

chino11: Orient Petroleum has taken over the construction of the project.

ofilispeaks: Is it just me or does N300,000,000 not feel like too small for a quality road project? I mean one (1) house in Lekki can cost N100 million? Is he saying that the road is 3 Lekki houses away from perfection

chino11: Okwute ndigbo nine!

Onitsha is truly the pride of Ndigbo ji eje mba.

With the 5star Hotel, Convention Center, Shoprite, dualised roads in GRA and surrounding coupled with the upcoming International Cargo/Passenger Airport which is sitting between the major cities Onitsha and Awka, am sure Anambra will be bomb.

chris365: Liar mohammed is studying the situation for further criticisms
