oko Haram militants have shot and
injured the acting Brigade commander of
23rd Brigade in Yola.
Colonel Popoola was shot in the shoulder three
days ago in the thick of a battle to regain control
of Hong and Gombi in Adamawa state from the
Islamist militant sect. An army source in Abuja
told SaharaReporters that the senior army officer
has been evacuated to UCH Ibadan where he is
expected to receive better and further treatment
in the coming days.

Several soldiers were reported to have died in
the battle. The military source also told
SaharaReporters that at least 300 Boko Haram
militants have died in the battle.
Colonel Popoola reportedly led a new crop of
soldiers drafted from Jos into battle against the
insurgents in a renewed battle to retake several
towns from Boko Haram. The troop was able to
recover two armored tanks from the militants
after the battle was over.
The military claimed to have regained control of
towns today in a short tweet.
SaharaReporters could not independently verify
the claim.
Meanwhile, four commanders have been arrested
for deserting their troops during the Monday fight
that earned Colonel Popoola a bullet to his
shoulder. The arrested soldiers include one
Lieutenant Mohammed, the QRG commander of
234 battalion; 2nd Lieutenant UC Uche, Platoon
commander of Bravo Company of the 234
battalion; Captain Lawal; and Lieutenant Buraji
who is Mararaba platoon commander. The four
and one other Captain Lawan were led away in
handcuffs yesterday and locked up inside the
military police guardroom at the 23rd Brigade in
Yola Adamawa state.

As part of a social experiment by Model
Prankster, model Leah Jung paraded around
the streets of New York completely unclad…
with only a realistic-looking pair of jeans
painted on her, complete with stitching and
on-trend patches, making it look like she’s
actually wearing jeans…but nobody even
noticed she was unclad.
The video, which was posted online last
week has gone viral with millions of views.
Model Praksters said did the experiment to
determine how observant people of New York
City are. They are apparently not very
observant as 90% of the people who walked
past Leah didn’t even notice she was unclad.

China urges BRICS to open
development bank soon
Chinese Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao
China has called on the BRICS group of emerging
economies to intensify efforts to open a
development bank as an alternative to the
Western-dominated global financial system.
Speaking on the sidelines of the G20 summit in
Australia on Saturday, China's Vice Finance
Minister Zhu Guangyao said, "All (countries)
share the view that they should speed up the
process to have it completed as quickly as
possible."
Zhu said that the BRICS group - which includes
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa -
should ensure that the bank will provide services
as soon as it is launched.
"And each country will identify feasible projects
for the bank as quickly as possible, so that at
the moment the bank is launched it will be able
to immediately carry out (financing) processes,"
the Chinese official said.
China and other BRICS members have intensified
efforts to reduce Western dominance on
international financial organizations including the
World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary
Fund (IMF).
Beijing has already picked a site in Shanghai for
the future headquarters of the 50-billion-dollar
institute.
The new bank will provide a collective foreign
exchange reserve and a fund for financing
developmental projects in order to address the
needs of emerging and poor economies.
The bank will operate on national currencies,
rather than use a single currency and will be used
in bilateral and multilateral trade deals.
BRICS members say the current global balance of
power is unworkable, with institutions such as the
WB, the IMF and the United Nations Security
Council irrelevant in addressing matters
concerning global economics.
BRICS countries make up over 40 percent of the
world’s population and account for more than 25
percent of the global GDP.

Abia will have an APC
governor in 2015 –Okorocha
 Posted by: Sunny NWANKWO, Aba
 in News  1 hour ago
THE governor of Imo State and presidential
hopefuls of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Chief Owelle Rochas Okorocha, on Friday, in Aba,
Abia State, assured his supporters that the party
would produce the next governor of the state in
2015.
Okorocha, who spoke during a unity rally of the
party, held at at the Recreation Club ground in
the commercial city, lamented the deplorable
state of infrastructure the PDP-led administration
has thrown the state and the country into, adding
that the APC was going to correct such
anomalies come 2015.
According to him, “The APC is not only going to
be the solution to the problems of Abia State in
2015, but to the country at large,” stressing that
the worst candidate in the APC is better than the
best PDP candidate.
On his presidential aspirations, Okorocha said
that he was in the race to represent the interest
of the igbo, who according to him, have been
relegated to the background in the scheme of
things in the country.
Okorocha, who lamented the absence of Igbo in
some of the key sensitive positions in the
Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, said it was
an intentional act by the PDP leadership to
sideline the Igbo and make them irrelevant.
He said: “You should ignore the insinuations that
the APC is a non-Igbo party. If that is the case,
why do personalities like me, Ogbonaya Onu,
Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige and Senator Osita
Izunaso among others be in the party?
“I was the person that gave the party its name.
APC is a party for a new Nigeria. It is for the
good of the Igbo. The PDP has made enough
mockery of the igbo man. All of us are witnesses
of how the PDP messed up with our brothers;
Vincent Ogbulafor, Chuba Okadigbo and Evan
Enwerem among others. There is no Igbo man as
heads of the Customs, Civil Defence, Immigrations
and Army and among others in the present PDP
government.
“There is no hope for the Igbo man in PDP. Any
Igbo man in the PDP is there for his personal
aggrandizement and not for the interest of our
people. The PDP government has nothing to show
for in the last eight years.”
In his speech, the state chairman of the APC,
Hon. Donatus Nwankpa, said that the party was
bringing the inevitable change the people of the
state need, and assured its supporters that they
would be carried along in the scheme of things in
the state

Nigeria's militant group Boko Haram has
renamed Mubi, a recently captured town,
Madinatul Islam - City of Islam.
It seized Mubi - the second largest town in
Adamawa state - in October, after clashes with
government forces.
Boko Haram has dismissed government claims to
have agreed a ceasefire with the Islamist group,
meant to ensure the release of 219 kidnapped
schoolgirls.
In August, Boko Haram said it had established an
Islamic state in areas it controls in north-eastern
Nigeria.
Mubi is the largest town under Boko Haram
control. It has stepped up its insurgency since a
state of emergency was declared in May 2013 in
Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
The group has changed tactics in recent months
by holding on to territory rather than launching
hit-and-run attacks.
It also controls Michika, a trading centre in
Adamawa state not far from the Cameroon
border, prompting fears that it may be looking for
further extend its reach.
Thousands of people who have fled towns and
villages captured by Boko Haram have taken
refuge in neighbouring towns.
In April, the militants captured more than 200
girls from a boarding school in the town of
Chibok, in Borno state.
Countries such as China, France, the UK and US
have sent military assistance to help find the girls
but they have not yet been rescued

The Islamist group Boko Haram has
denied claims by Nigeria’s government
that it has agreed to a ceasefire and will
release more than 200 abducted
schoolgirls.
The announcement came in a video sent
to Agence France-Presse on Saturday in
which the militant group’s leader,
Abubakar Shekau, ruled out future talks
with the government and said the girls
had converted to Islam and been
married off since being kidnapped
more than six months ago.
Some 276 schoolgirls were seized from
the remote north-eastern town of
Chibok in Borno state in April. Many
escaped in the first couple of days but
219 remain missing.
More than 500 women and girls aged
from infancy to 65 have been
kidnapped by Boko Haram and held in
militant camps since 2009, Human
Rights Watch said this week, including
60 reportedly kidnapped from two
towns in north-eastern Nigeria last
week. Many have been targeted because
they are Christians or attending school.
Girls and women abducted by the
Islamist group and later released have
spoken of life in captivity that included
forced marriage and labour, rape,
torture, psychological abuse and
coerced religious conversion.
Shekau said in the latest video that all of
the Chibok schoolgirls had become
Muslims. “They have now memorised
two chapters of the Qur’an,” he said.
Speaking in Hausa, he said: “We have
married them off. They are in their
marital homes.”
Families of the Chibok schoolgirls said
they were shocked but not surprised at
the marriage claims.
Pogo Bitrus, the head of the Chibok
Elders Forum, said: “We were sceptical
about the talks to release our girls and
we never took the ceasefire seriously
because since the announcement, they
have never stopped attacking
communities. Therefore the information
that our girls have been married off is
not surprising to us.”
Bitrus has four nieces among the
hostages. “We are only hoping the
government will step up whatever
efforts it is making to quell the
insurgency,” he said.
Enoch Mark, a Christian pastor in
Chibok whose daughter and niece are
among the hostages, said the girls’
families were “lost for words”.
“Since they were kidnapped we have no
certainty about the situation they are
in. We keep getting conflicting
information,” he said. “We only keep
hoping that they will be returned to us.”
Daniel Bekele of Human Rights Watch
said the Chibok kidnappings and the
#BringBackOurGirls campaign had
focused global attention on the
vulnerability of girls in north-eastern
Nigeria.
“Now the Nigerian government and its
allies need to step up their efforts to put
an end to these brutal abductions and
provide for the medical, psychological
and social needs of the women and girls
who have managed to escape,” he s Boko Haram denies it has
agreed ceasefire
