begwong: are u a fan of RYBACK,from yr moniker?

Yeah, i'm a fan of Ryback aka "feed me more"

All i can only say is wow!!!

What a revelation!

Wa o!

This is simply an act of atrocious cruelty.
There's no way any just God can be in support of some of the most despicable atrocious crime committed in his name.

I refuse to the believe or accept the slogan that, islam is a religion of peace.

Do we still have Cpc? Or the much talked about merger was a ruse?

Look how grown ãss men whine, groan, bleat, bawl, shout.... Na wa o!

Oya Seun, please satisfy their whims and caprices so we can hear word abeg.

Mtcheew!

Blackteeth: These foreigners in Africa you are refering to are attached to multinational companies and only came for business. How many whites do you see in the streets of Nigeria trying to take up jobs and properties in Africa like Africans do in foreign lands? If whites start establishing themselves and taking up properties in Africa in numbers how do you think Africans would react?

Nobody is stopping them from coming to Africa to take up jobs like Africans do in their respective Countries. There are many reasons that would make them not wanting to come to Africa. Take Nigeria as a case study, there's a heighten state of insecurity in the country, Islamic militant ( Boko Haram) roaming the northern part of the country, incessant kidnapping of foreigners in other part of the country. Also, the wage structure between Africa is in disparity with what is obtainable in their countries. So, why would they risk their security to work in a volatile environment?

^^^^Keep deceiving yourself....

If Nigerians don't hate themselves in real life, why is it that when an Igbo person is appointed to a ministerial position or head any government parastatal or even military post for that matter, some tribes especially the north, whine, bawl, Bleat, groan that Igbo's are being favored, despite the fact that they have been short-changed for the better part of it's (Nigeria) existence.

Op, i don't get the correlation between being wise and economic migration.

Last I checked there are still thousands of Europeans, Americans, Asians all over Africa, exploiting our God given resources, ( crude oil, Gold, Diamond, uranium, coffee) in fact the list is endless.

So, what exactly are you driving to?

Maybe you should rephrase the topic or something. Just saying.

@Jenny, God gave you a second chance for a purpose. Go do praise his name and do a thanks giving. This is anything short of miracle. Glory be the most high.

Lol

Nigeria don turn mecca for African politicians seeking elective post, where they come to seek for divine intervention before election. Na wa o! We have not heard the last of them.

Already, the Oscar Pistorius trial is shaping up to be one of the most fascinating and highly publicized ones in recent memory. Now comes word that Pistorius is planning to hold his own ceremony to honor his late girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius shot Steenkamp on Valentine's Day, but the motivation for the shooting and Pistorius' responsibility remain the focus of the impending trial for premeditated murder.

Pistorius has been released from prison on 1 million rand ($113,000) bail, and has said he wants a private memorial service to be held at the home of one of his family members.

"Oscar has asked for a private service with people who share his loss, including family members who knew and loved Reeva as one of their own," Vuma Reputation Management, which Pistorius has contracted, said in a statement, adding, "he remains in deep mourning for the loss of his partner Reeva."

Steenkamp's family has already held a memorial service for her in the South African city of Port Elizabeth. Her body was cremated after a private service. Pistorius is not permitted to leave his district of Pretoria without official permission, and was in his bail hearings at the time of her family's memorial.

In other Pistorius news, Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair, the judge in the case, announced that his family suffered a tragedy over the weekend. His first cousin is suspected of killing her two children and then committing suicide in Johannesburg. Investigators suspect that the woman killed the children, and later herself, by administering a poisonous substance.

…as Uduaghan insists on not signing death penalty law
Asaba”DELTA State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, weekend, explained why he would not sign into law, the Bill passed by the state House of Assembly, prescribing death penalty for kidnappers, describing the Bill as a duplication of efforts.

He also said that a school for training of kidnappers had been uncovered in the state.

Speaking at Unity Hall at Government House, Asaba,  on questions posed to him at a town hall meeting during the visit of the Good Governance tour team, led by Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, to the state, he said:  œAs a state government, we have been dealing with kidnapping. Presently, we have been able to identify some hot spots in the state, what are called the red spots, where kidnappers are trained. We have identified those areas.

We are strategising on security for those areas and that is why, in the last few weeks, you could see that the incidence of kidnapping has gone down. There are other strategies we are still working on to deal with kidnapping, which I cannot disclose here.

Another question is, why are we having issues with death penalty for kidnappers? There is already a death penalty in our laws. Every kidnapper is an armed robber, I believe, so I don't know why we are talking today of death penalty for kidnappers. When you go to court, the case is usually kidnapping/armed robbery. Why do I have to sign another law for kidnappers?

Once you are a kidnapper, you are also an armed robber. The law is already there to sentence kidnappers to death. And I must say that in this state, in the last few months, our judges have been bold enough to convict many kidnappers. They are working hard to sentence more kidnappers.

If really they are traders, then it is really unacceptable for anyone to treat them like a common criminal.

Enough is a enough!

THOUGH the debate about the rightness or otherwise of the use of external forces to check the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria has simmered down, it may be stoked with a planned intervention of the United States (U.S.) in the crisis.

Apparently worried by the increasing activities of Boko Haram not only in Nigeria but in other African countries, President Barack Obama and the U.S. government are now taking the threat posed by the group more seriously and they are already considering military options, including the deployment of drones and spy planes.

At the weekend, President Obama under War Powers Resolution of the U.S. Public Law, increased the number of American military personnel deployed to Nigeria's border country, Niger, to 100, just about a week after the incoming Commander of the U. S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), Gen. David M. Rodriguez of the U.S. Army, confirmed that Boko Haram operations now cut across Nigeria, Cameroun, Niger, Mali and Chad.

U.S. local media had reported about the same time that the deployment of U.S. military to Niger is with the intention of setting up a drone base to gather intelligence without ruling out drone attacks against terrorists in Mali and Nigeria.

In an even more categorical statement, Gen. Rodriguez disclosed that the U.S. military already had sufficient legal authorisation to go after Boko Haram's operatives in Nigeria or in the African region based on existing military authorisations against Al-Qaeda.

In a February 22 letter to the leaders of the U.S. Congress, made available to The Guardian yesterday, Obama confirmed that by February 20, 2013, "the last elements of a deployment of approximately 40 additional U.S. military personnel entered Niger with the consent of the Government of Niger."

According to Obama in the letter he personally signed, "this deployment will provide support for intelligence collection and will also facilitate intelligence sharing with French forces conducting operations in Mali, and with other partners in the region. The total number of U.S. military personnel deployed in Niger is approximately 100. The recently deployed forces have   ... weapons for the purpose of providing their own force protection and security."

While Obama's letter indicated that the American troops would help with intelligence, it did not specifically mention the controversial use of drones for which the U.S. government has attracted both military success and criticism in recent years.

But a Washington Post report of the President's letter at the weekend said the U.S. base in Niamey, Niger, with about 100 U.S. troops, "have been deployed to set up a drone base to support French-led military operation."

The paper added, quoting U.S. defence officials that drone flights were "imminent" from Niger.

The letter required under America's system of checks and balances then concluded: "I directed this deployment of U.S. forces in furtherance of U.S. national security interests, and pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.

"I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-148). I appreciate the support of the Congress in this action."

The Guardian has obtained a policy statement of the incoming Commander of the U.S. AFRICOM meant for use while answering questions last week at a Congressional confirmation hearing by the U.S. Senate.

In the advance talking points made available to the public, the incoming Commander, Gen. David M. Rodriguez, said regarding the potential of a U.S. military strike against Boko Haram, "the current legal authorities, including the Authorisation for Use of Military Force to conduct counter-terrorism operations and activities against Boko Haram appear to be sufficient for operations in the AFRICOM area of responsibility."

Similarly, Obama's nominee as new Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director also confirmed that U.S. readiness to use military force against terrorists around the world is not limited by geographic limitations. He spoke last week also at a Senate Intelligence confirmation hearing.

He said: " The current legal authorities, including the Authorisation for Use of Military Force to conduct counter-terrorism operations and activities against Boko Haram appear to be sufficient for operations in the AFRICOM area of responsibility. However, the Authorisation for Use of Military Force has been in place for 12 years and al-Qaeda has dispersed and operates in areas far from the original battlefield.

"Given the evolutionary changes in the global security landscape, I intend to continuously review the current intelligence on Boko Haram and assess whether the existing authorities are sufficient to take all necessary actions."

Observers of the U.S. Military say with the rise in Boko Haram's and other terrorist groups' attacks on westerners in Nigeria and neighbouring countries such a toughening of stance complete with the addition of U.S. troops in Niger are indicative of a readiness of the U.S. to send clear warning signals to Boko Haram operatives and sponsors.
