rusher14: Never be scared to speak the truth.

If majority of Nigerians were truthful, conscientious and honest we would have been out of this primitive state.

You are aware that many are paid to counter any news that doesn't paint the present government in positive light.

It rankles me that they are the most vociferous and insulting but it doesn't change the truth...there's too much corruption and lies associated with the present government.

God bless you Sir. Morning Nigeria.

A midget who wants to govern KD. I don't know why he didn't tweet anything today.

Oboy, see as people just dey bash me. What's wrong in demanding the best for my country. With all our revenue and all the taxpayers money we can't seem to get simple things right. If I talk you call me a BH supporter. Okay since I promise not to ever discuss BH again let me ask something. How many billion Naira was spent on NIGCOMMSAT 1? Yet we don't have satelite imaging for locations in this country. If our satelite was functioning don't you think it would have helped track movements of terrorists and other criminals? Now a NAF jet is missing for nearly two weeks we can't find it. All this would have been made easier if the SAT 1 and SAT 2 was functional. Yet some people don't want us to talk. Okay I don keep quiet.


God bless naija ma beloved country.

atlwireles: OP, your desperation is becoming very worrisome. This's now thread number three, you have opened in a week trying to show us, shecow is still hiding in your house. Your spokesman is dead, deal with it.

Hahahahahahah. Abeg oh. I just want us to get things right once and for all. I'm not a BH supporter. In fact, I have lost some of ma homies back from our campus days who were 2nd Lts in the Nigerian Army to BH. I just wanna wake up one day and this nightmare called BH is over. Entire households have been uprooted from their homes in the NE. Anyway since you guys don't want me to talk, then I have stopped creating threads concerning BH. Make I go Sexuality section go find trouble.

By the way, all ma threads are attached with "source" so no be me tok am.

Tweet from @Reuters
@Reuters: BREAKING: FBI director Comey says U.S. has identified masked Islamic State militant believed to have beheaded two Americans.

Baba iyabo, we miss u

Jakpon: All the towns that were initially taken by the Haramites are still in their control. The Nigerian Army havent recaptured any of them, they'v just been able to successfully repel the attack on Konduga and prevented Maiduguri from falling.

The other towns in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe that fell to the Haramites havent been recaptured

Despite BH boys surrendering, we are yet to see photos of NA in Gwoza, Bama, Madagali etc

I'm not Igbo, but I like Rochas.

According to leadership newspaper, the senator representing southern Borno lamented that if Obasanjo was at the helm of affairs, insurgency would have been curtailed, Chobok girls would have been rescued. He made this statement when he visited the #bringbackourgirls sitting in Abuja. He therefore expressed regret at not supporting Obasanjos 3rd term bid to be president when he had the chance.

I WILL FIX NIGERIA IF ELECTED PRESIDENT - OKOROCHA

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has asked the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to give him the party’s  presidential ticket for the 2015 presidential election.
Speaking at the celebration of his 52nd birthday in Owerri yesterday, Okorocha said that he would properly fix Nigeria with the right values if he is elected president.
 “If elected the president of this country, I would remain a detribalised leader, as true Nigerian born by Igbo parents, educated by the North and empowered by the West.  With the help of God, I have fixed Imo State and I will also fix Nigeria to the glory of God,” he said.
The governor said that his success story would not be complete without acknowledging the North for giving him the needed education adding that the West gave him the contact which gave him his financial success.
He vowed to make education free at all levels in the country as he has done in Imo State if elected the next president of the country saying: “my joy lies on the fact that God has blessed me to bless others.  Seventy-five percent of my wealth goes to charity.”
Okorocha advised Nigerians to discard ethnic sentiments to enable the country achieve her goal of greatness and appealed to people to say no to the deceit of ethnic and religious factors which, he said, have torn the country apart and embrace one another.

atlwireles: Ahmed salkida, should be nowhere but an underground DSS cell.

Well, by refusing to heed his advice, the DSS have now allowed the "little peck" to grow into a mighty wound. BH would have been history if the DSS had acted on his intel in 2008/2009 instead of locking him up. Now see where we are?

LegatusGlaber: How true is this sh!+?

Most of us who are far from the action always tend to doubt these stories, but the reality is so glaring. As we talking now the current Adamawa state acting gov can not step into his home town Gulak, Senator Ali Ndume cannot enter his base at Gwoza and so on. This is the glaring truth. Confirm from any Adamawa person you know. Former presidential advisers A A Gulak is said to have the biggest and most expensive house in Gulak town, so when BH boys drove into town they broke into the house and lodged their Amir there. They are roaming about freely looting shops, kidnaPping and raping women while they await further instructions from their top-shots in Sambissa forrest. I am not the one spewning stories here. All ma stories have facts. In addition I follow security experts, DHQ and even camerounian and Nigerian journalists who's specialise on BH cases online. So why should I cook up stories? Follow the link and verify for yourself.

I thank you all. They say life goes on. I have moved on. This girls still pings me or wassaps me. But right now she is FULLY out ma system. I have gotten a new woman and moving ahead with ma life. Baba God, I dey ur hand.

atlwireles: This OP always has funny suspicious thread. I hope the DSS is keeping a tab on you.

What's funny and suspicious about ma threads? I ALWAYS give out sources of ma news. I want an end to these senseless killings so truth must be told. This is how Ahmed Salkida was arrested and locked up simply because he alerted the govt way back in 2008 that boko haram were planning on forming an independent state. If his statements were taken seriosly we would not have been in this situation.

Ikengawo: Amnesty international is a business that's in business of reporting the handling of crisis. If there was no crisis, they would have no business. They need Boko Haram in order to be relevant. They need poorer governments to be at odds with elements in their own country so that they themselves can eat lunch. Boko Haram is in turn doing them, BBC, and other disreputable institutions a huge favor and they have a lot vested in keeping the problem alive.

Not only do they have to keep the problem alive, they also have nothing to gain in reporting progress or good news because that would mean one less issue to get contracts over once the public sees things are getting better.

Exactly

According to Daily Trust, top BH commanders are currently enjoying time in the lavish personal homes of former presidential adviser Ahmed Ali Gulak and current Acting Governor of Adamawa State Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri in Gulak town, headquarters of Madagali Local Govt. Of Adamawa state. If Gulak is not recaptured by Nigerian troops, this will prevent the duo from voting in the forth-coming Adamawa bye election. It could also stop former deputy governor to Murtala Nyako, Bala James Ngilari from voting in same election as he also hails from Madagali LGA.

Pray for our troops.

noblezone: Bros OP,
Waiting for Amnesty to condemn Boko Haram, is like asking the "progressives" to see one good thing Jonathan has done!

They are quick to condemn our police, army etc. Yet BH released video showing massacre of civilians, but I'm yet to hear anything from amnesty

Marotzke: 2500 men? I doubt if these camms can count. That was how they were regaling us with tales of hundreds of bokos that perished at their hands, till today no material evidence , to support their outrageous claims. later it became their long range jet bombers abi na surface to surface missiles that annihilated Bashir mohammed ( whom in their ignorance they called Shekau). As Nigerians are now getting wise to their antics, they have come up with an audacious discovery of a 2500 man training camp. Now that Nigeria's military have unwisely announced their plans to launch a simultaneous and coordinated assault on all known boko bases, don't be surprised if these fraudulent neighbours of ours announce their own imaginary attack on a phantom training camp to take the shine off the Nigerian military.

True talk. But since the name of the town is stated, nothing stops our troops from verifying if the intel is true or not.

Ibnsultan: The military intel guys are definitely studying facts on ground to verify if he is dead. Salkida is trustworthy source
Abuja should allow NA to go on the offensive as well as black ops on BH cells in libya,Niger n mali. Our boys are ready but lack of political support is making the fight difficult

True talk Sir.

Walphem: The bh guys surrendering weapons should be quized and adequate info should be gotten to know the truth about this shecow

Most of them are merely foot soldiers who have never ever seen the madman.

mrvictor: Na lie! ..and who are you? ...BH public relations officer?

No sir. Just a patriot who wants an end to these senseless killings.

When it comes to the issue of Boko Haram, no one gives accurate and unbiased info like Ahmed Salkida. The university drop-out journalist who was detained in the same cell with B H leader Mohammed Yusuf and accused of been a BH member.

Ahmed Salkida is now in asylum in Dubai. He confirms that Shekau is alive. Let the govt stop beating around bush and hunt down this bastard once and for all.

Tweet from @ContactSalkida
@ContactSalkida: Mark my words: I have it on authority that Shekau is well & alive, the picture going round is NOT the person who torments us with his group

Our govt.never takes things seriously. This intel is worth looking into but as usual no one gives a hoot. When these fighters complete their training and begin going on a killing spree, we will all start saying APC/PDP blah blah.

I'm not trying to creat unnecessary panic, but truth must be told. My reliable contact from Cameroun has alerted the Nigerian govt. to take action on a very disturbing scenario happening near the Gamboru-Ngala/ Camerounian boarder.
This is war, let Nigerian government take it as such. BH still intends to have an assault on Maiduguri. Its time to take the war to them, not just defend bases. BH has morphed into a real REBEL group intent on forming their own country. Let's forget the Konduga victory, those killed were just foot soldiers. Real BH top commanders are comfortably hiding in Mandara mountains.

Tweet from @ChiefBisongEta1
@ChiefBisongEta1: Reliably informed over 2500 BH recruits being trained in Nigerian town of Chuku Ngudo 17km from Fotokol. Naija govt act b4 they go killing.



This is war. Let's take it as such. Let's not forget BH's policy of forcefully recruiting youths to join them or be killed. This gives them an unending pool of fighters.

Juventus vs. AC Milan Preview: Round 3 — Do you remember me?

We're only two rounds into the 2014-15 season, so there's no need to seriously jump to conclusions on what exactly is going in the calcio world right now. But let me post this question to all of you: Did we really expect the top of the Serie A table to look like this after two games?

En plein #Milan, #Juventus e #Roma. #Inter, #Lazio e #Samp letali. Colpo #Chievo e #Atalanta.Classifica provvisoria. pic.twitter.com/pay17EIb3d

— Serie A TIM (@SerieA_TIM) September 14, 2014
Here's my personal short answer: "No."

Yeah, it's early and the way the table looks right now isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. It's not much of a surprise to see Juventus and Roma a perfect 2 for 2 to start the Serie A season because they clearly entered the season as the two best teams in Italy. But there's Milan on six points as well — not exactly where a good number of people would have pegged them to be after the first couple of weeks this season.

In that sense, it's rather convenient that Juventus and Milan highlight the third round of Serie A action this weekend. The question has already been posed by many: Can Milan hang with Juventus? One team has the superiorly talented squad, and I'm fairly certain we all know which club that is. Milan, however, is getting a lot of attention right now — and probably deservedly so for how they've started a season where expectations from the media and other folks were as low as they could possibly get.

And did I mention that there's also the whole managerial storyline going on here, too?

Once we figured out Max Allegri would be Juventus' manager, we knew this day was going to arrive sooner or later. It just so happens that the Mad Max comeback tour is rolling through the San Siro on the third week of the season instead of a later date on the calendar. Better to get it out of the way early on in the season, I guess. Especially so since Allegri isn't that far removed from his dismissal as Milan manager last season.

All of this added to a matchup between two teams that have had a number of memorable encounters over the years.

GOOD NEWS

Three games played in all competitions, no goals allowed. I'm not just saying this because I'm a former goalkeeper. Although I'm sure San Gigi appreciates the three straight clean sheets to start the season.

BAD NEWS

Arturo Vidal may be back on the callups list for tomorrow night, but there are still big names missing the trip to Milan. The main names are the two bearded Andreas, Pirlo and Barzagli, who are still working their way back from their respective injuries. Also out injured is Luca Marrone, who has yet to appear in a game so far this season.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

1. Milan's newfound life under Pippo Inzaghi.

I would go on and on about Inzaghi and what has impressed me the most thus far. Or, I can just start this thing off with what James Horncastle had to say about Milan's first-year manager.

Inzaghi's philosophy is his personification. As a player he recognised he wasn't the most technically gifted. This Milan isn't either. He had to work harder to be successful. This Milan does, too. He acknowledged his limits and rather than operate within them, tried to push them. Ditto for Milan.

As much as we want to talk about how this is Allegri returning to his old stomping ground — and it is, no doubt about it — this is also Pippo's biggest test to date as Milan manager. Are Juventus vastly superior and more talented than Milan on paper? Well, yeah. But this game isn't simply won by writing names down and that's it. If anything, Inzaghi is trying to do what Antonio Conte did when he first took over at Juventus — re-instill a mentality, a certain kind of grinta and passion, of years past at the club he loves so much. Milan clearly don't have the big names that they did five, six, seven years ago, but Inzaghi has certainly made Milan into an entertaining watch thus far. That's more than a lot of other teams wish they could say.

Y’all, AC Milan are appointment viewing under Pippo Inzaghi this year.

2. How will Arturo Vidal factor into Saturday night's game?

The King is back, and now we wait to see how exactly he will be used. Allegri was asked about Vidal during his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon. This is what he had to say (although who knows if he used Twitter handles):

#Allegri: "@kingarturo23 has made progress from his injury, I'm happy. He'll train with the rest of the squad today." #MilanJuve

— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) September 19, 2014
Not exactly the answer we were looking for, but it's better than nothing ... right? With Vidal being called back up for the first time since Juve's opener against Chievo, it's the green light that says he is at least available to play against Milan. Who knows, maybe it's just a decoy by Allegri to put the thought of Vidal playing into the head of Inzaghi and Milan. "Oh, Arturo's here! Watch out now, you guys!" We'll have to wait until the starting lineups come out to know for sure what Allegri's plans are for Vidal. But he's back — and hopefully healthy for a good amount of time, too.

3. Juventus' defense vs. Milan's attack.

If you had Milan leading the league in goals after two rounds of play, you'd probably be swimming in a nice pile of cash right now. I don't think anybody who isn't named Pippo Inzaghi or is associated with Milan could have imagined that kind of start with everything that has gone on at the club in the last few transfer windows. But pretty much like everything else related to Juventus, this will be the best defense — at least on paper — Milan will be seeing in the early stage of the season. Juve's defense is playing well to start the season, with three straight shutouts out of the gate. But Milan enters will a ton of confidence after dropping a five spot on Parma last weekend.

4. The service to Fernando Llorente.

There is no doubting Llorente is quite good at what he does as a striker. There is also no doubting that even though Juventus totally dominated possession against Malmö on Tuesday night, Llorente was left isolated at the top of the attack for a good portion of the game. It's not exactly the easiest thing in the world to try and send in a cross to Fernando when there's three, four, or even five defenders around his general vicinity. He may be really good in the air, but even those odds aren't very good. The Juventus wingbacks — Stephan Lichtsteiner and Kwadwo Asamoah/Patrice Evra — can send in all the crosses they want to Llorente, but if they don't reach their intended target, then the idea and effectiveness is basically killed off straight away. We know Llorente will do his usual work holding up play. There's just the added dimension to the attack when he gets the chance to take advantage of his prowess in the air.

Oh yeah, one more thing: #vamos.

5. If Carlos Tévez finally scoring in the Champions League the start of something completely awesome.

Guess what we don't have to talk about anymore? Yeah, Carlos Tévez and the Champions League bugaboo. Two goals right out of the shoot against Malmö in the group stage and all the talk from the last five years is thrown right out the window. Count me in as one of those folks who is quite pleased that narrative has been killed. Move on, shall we? Like a lot of other strikers, when Tévez gets rolling, the goals will come in bunches. The hope is that Tévez breaking his long duck in the Champions League will be what kickstarts the Argentinian's form into overdrive. And the last thing Milan wants to see is Carlitos repeating what he did the last time Juventus visited the San Siro.

My starting XI (3-5-2): Buffon; Cáceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Pereyra, Marchisio, Pogba, Asamoah; Tévez, Llorente

OFFICIAL KICKOFF TIME: 8:45 P.M. IN ITALY; 2:45 P.M. ON THE EAST COAST; 11:45 P.M. ON THE WEST COAST

Two gianst of calcio meet at the San Siro. Max Alegri's champions Juve take on his former employers A C Milan in a top of the table Serie A clash. Milan coached by Allegris former player Inzaghi.
