Boko Haram: Nigerian soldiers’ wives maintain blockade, insist husbands won’t fight until well armed - See more at: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/166527-boko-haram-nigerian-soldiers-wives-maintain-blockade-insist-husbands-wont-fight-until-well-armed.html#sthash.Ua5o0mCo.dpuf

The wives and children of soldiers at the Giwa Barracks, Maiduguri, have maintained their blockade of the barracks 48 hours after they started.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported on how dozens of women and children have since Saturday forcefully stopped military trucks from transporting their husbands and fathers to Gwoza. The protesters blocked the gates of the barracks that houses the 21 Armoured brigade of the Nigerian army. They demanded quality fighting equipment for the soldiers.

Thiza: Nigerian Army has been accussed for a very long time for extra judicial execution

Four Nigerian policemen have appeared in court in the first public hearing over the killing of radical Islamist leader Mohammed Yusuf in 2009.

The Boko Haram leader was captured alive in Maiduguri and paraded in front of video cameras, but his body was later displayed riddled with bullets.

There's a FlatKop that asked who killed Lucky Dube. Could the FlatKop kindly tell us who killed Ken Saro-wiwa?

1. The whites contribute to themselves and themselves alone.

2. Don't talk to me about logic when you don't have any yourself.

3. Nigerians own Nigeria, our arms industry is 100% Nigerian, all our of farmers and agriculture industry are 100% Nigerian. Most businesses here are 100% Nigerian, we also have our own Nigerian run banks whereas yours are run by non-blacks, we also our make own cars now, unlike you pathetic South African slaves.

4. "They" aka Afrikaans write in Afrikaans because they are Afrikaans, they don't care about Africa and the don't care about you, but they run your country so they do what they want, that's why they are able to write in their language wherever and whenever they please and you should know that "back then" during apartheid the whites didn't allow you to learn in "their" schools because they were to too busy murdering African women and children for simply existing while you sat down singing struggle songs in your little straw huts like a bunch of f00ls, so how could you have been taught how to write in Afrikaans "back then"?.

5. Nigeria is 100% black we decide what is written and where they are written.

6. The reason English is used on buildings is because our land is home to thousands of languages so we use it as a lingua franca.

7. As I stated before we make our own cars in addition to importing them so your point is invalid, the British don't even own any major car manufacturer anymore apart from Rover and Jaguar but who drives those?.

8. Afrikaans is NOT an African language it's a mixture of several European languages.

9. Modern day Egyptians are Arabs that came to Egypt from the Arabian peninsula in 600AD, there's nothing African about them, no one considers them to be African and neither do they.

10. Don't ever test me again, you are just a little boy living in a white mans land, you are just a slave from the South African bush talking rubbish on a Nigerian forum while you sit in a house built and designed by the white people that control your land, you should be ashamed, you and your bush people are a disgrace to the whole of Africa.

Carnage and mayhem are part of the fabric of daily life in northern Nigeria, the result of a campaign of terror by the Islamist group Boko Haram. As the threat spreads to other regions, and countries, fears are growing that Nigeria’s government may not know how to counter it. Or may be making things worse.

By Ibrahim Ahmed and Mike Eckel

MAIDUGURI, NIGERIA– At the moment when the soldier slits the first throat, one body is already crumpled in the shallow grave, blood staining the sandy soil on the grave’s rim. In the background a line of victims sits patiently, as if waiting for a haircut at a barber shop.

The grainy video, shot on a cell phone the last week of May 2014, shows three men, wearing camouflage fatigues issued by the Nigerian military, some carrying AK-47 rifles and machetes, who are joined by two others wearing civilian clothes. In all, three executions are shown. The victims are believed to be either sympathizers or members of the violent Islamist terror group Boko Haram, or possibly innocent civilians. The soldiers appear to be Nigerian military.

Another soldier serving in the specially-created military task force struggling to contain the threat posed by Boko Haram provided the video to VOA. The soldier described the video, and others, as illustrative of the tactics being used to fight Boko Haram: “the military way.”

Five years into an insurgency, Nigeria is reeling. Carnage and mayhem that was once limited to the poor, largely Muslim northeast has spread elsewhere. Boko Haram now openly challenges the government, its campaign to impose its fundamentalist view of Islam intensifying. Daily shootings are common in many places in the country; the capital, Abuja, has been hit repeatedly by car and suicide bombings, most recently on June 25. More than 2,000 people have been killed this year alone, according to rights groups, and an estimated 250,000 Nigerians have been driven from their homes in three northeastern states. [...]

Boko Haram takes Nigeria town, resident says
By HARUNA UMAR

Published: 11 minutes ago
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) - Fighters from Nigeria's Boko Haram militant group seized the northeastern town of Gwoza, overwhelming soldiers based in the area before attacking civilians, security officials and a witness said Thursday.

The whereabouts of the new Emir of Gwoza, Muhammed Idrissa Timta, were unknown after attackers were seen approaching his residence during the attack on Wednesday, the resident said. Timta succeeded his father who was killed by Boko Haram in May.

"I have attempted talking to the Emir on phone it was not going through, I do pray and hope he is alive," Muhammed Ali Ndume, a senator from Gwoza representing Southern Borno, which includes the town, told journalists by phone on Thursday.

Residents have fled to mountainous areas near the town. A resident said gunmen who attacked Gwoza were dressed in military fatigues and rode vehicles painted in the same colors. The resident spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for his safety.

Two security officials confirmed the attack, but could not be named because they weren't authorized to speak to media.

"I could communicate now because most of us are up in the mountains, many may have been killed, but from top of the hills here we still could see the Boko Haram gunmen moving around in some armored tanks with metal wheels," the resident said. A friend of his was shot dead from behind as they were fleeing.

"We can't tell what will happen to us by night; the entire town is now taken over by the terrorists," said the resident.

Boko Haram has been waging a violent campaign since 2009, and has intensified its attacks against civilians this year. More than 4,000 people - mostly civilians - have been killed this year alone "by all sides" of the conflict, including in counter attacks of security forces against the group, according to Amnesty International. This compares to an estimated 3,600 people killed in the first four years of the Islamic extremist insurgency.

Nigeria army committed atrocities, Amnesty says

Nigeria's army has committed atrocities in the north-east in its fight against Islamist militants belonging to Boko Haram, Amnesty International says.

The campaign group said it had seen "gruesome footage" including alleged members of the military slitting the throats of detainees.

The Nigerian authorities said such barbarity had no place in the military and promised to investigate.

Boko Haram has been waging an insurgency in Nigeria since 2009.

Thousands of people have been killed in a series of bombings and assassinations in the north-east and in the capital, Abuja, this year alone.
'Extrajudicial executions'

Amnesty says footage obtained from multiple sources on a trip to Borno state, in the north, "includes horrific images of detainees having their throats slit one by one and dumped in mass graves".

The perpetrators "appear to be members of the Nigerian military and the "Civilian Joint Task Force" (CJTF), state-sponsored militias," the organisation adds.

"The ghastly images are backed up by the numerous testimonies we have gathered which suggest that extrajudicial executions are, in fact, regularly carried out by the Nigerian military and CJTF," says Amnesty International Secretary General Salil Shetty.

More Than 100 Residents of Damboa Believed to Have Been Killed


Boko Haram hoisted its black al Qaeda-inspired flag above the strategic town of Damboa in northeast Nigeria on Saturday, with an estimated more than 100 of the town's residents killed by the militant group since Thursday.

The fall of the town to Boko Haram marks a swift expansion of the extremist group's territorial control over Nigeria's northeast.

Your personal opinion.

Nope!

It's a fact.

“Some oil and gas executives and their families do perceive frontier markets like Nigeria as riskier than other markets and the high country premium reflects that,” said Helen Di Mauro, a partner at The Curzon Partnership. “Oil and gas companies recognise that the incentives have to be high because life as an expat in Nigeria is so different from countries with broader industries and higher standards of living.”
