Buhari does his own nicodemously but never the less once in a while we are lucky to get news reports of his agenda =>

so now dt he has won..uve seen his plans to islamise nigeria abi...mugu...anyway the eyez wud always see whats it wants to see...its a psychological thing

if buhari had done thesame he wud have been called islamist or trying to islamise nigeria....i dnt knw why the leader of a multi-religous country wud continously kip having secret meeting with the a certain religous leaders...latr pple wud b shoutin north did this nd did that...

OREMUSSANCTUS:
How many people Buhari wan probe He wan use d whole 4 years probe, wetin go dhe for oda tinz Buhari promising us paradise like d "prophet" of I * * * m

you would reap what you sow...nd mre on it

texazzpete:
Beware all these bitter rascals trying to cause confusion!

A president that sat idly by while Boko Haram slaughtered more than 18000 northerners and rendered nearly a million homeless is now supposed to be praised because he built some almajiri schools and appointed some recycled northerners into his cabinet?

LOL

The true architect of the Jonathan loss is president GEJ. All he had to do as the first PhD holder president was to provide good governance. He failed woefully.
It is thus significant that the biggest transformation GEJ did was to transform the PDP from the biggest party in Africa to a regional opposition party, crewed with bitter, salty folks.

dont mind thos Hediots..they xpect the north to vote fr gej so dt bokoharam wud continue killing them....muguss........bh has killed neighbours of mine nd all gej has to say dn was dt he wud get ontop of the situation when i come online i see pple blaming the north for the death of northerners....and with all ds u xpect an average northerner like me (middle belt precisely) to vote fr gej...then you must b drunk

phyllosilicate:
Why shouldn't the core north be against Jonathan? Let Buhari start jumping from one mosques to the other and allow the leader of muslims insults the hell out of christians then we would see how the Christians would love him.
PDP called APC a muslim party, now they are crying that they voted for a muslim party.

ANYWAY IT IS NOT A CRIME TO CRY , LET THE CRY CONTINUE.

i wonder too

oh na now na knw...when pdp called apc an islamic party,gmb an islamist and called northerners almajiri..mu gyz didnt see a problem fr that..some pple are just stupid...S.E AND SS VOTED GEJ IT WASNT TRIBALISTIC AFTER ALL " HE HIS IS THEIR BROTHER" BUT THE NORTH VOTED GMB ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HAS BECOME A RELIGOUS AFFAIRS AND CONSPIRACY...SMH...SOME PPLE ARE MORE LIKE ANIMALS...

I'm not hating on the north..

If all you can get from my post is hatred then you have personal issues...

If most southerners (SW,SS,SE) go into agriculture..

The competition will increase and prices will fall then livestock products in the south will become cheap.

sorry fr d misundrstandin

This thread too is hot.

Hot Ini Edo. Made Hot by Hot journalists

hahahaha.lwkmd...u gt me crackin hot laughter here

GodMode:
The north is already rich, look at the amount products in her pictures then imagine the amount of farmers.

But, its just like the dog business.. All one needs is a male and female goat, cow/bull, donkey e.t.c and the business will boom..

My female dog gives birth to 6 puppies twice yearly..

Imagine having ranch with goats, bull, cows e.t.c.

This business will be very profitable in the south.. Cos there is abundance of grass and weed..

If south takes agriculture seriously... The north will go out of business.

nawa oh...see d dimension ds wan carry d whole thing too...pple ar hia encouraging each other all you can get from this tread is how the north should go out of bizness nd who told you goats or cows giv birth like dogs...hmmm your ignorance has even ssid it all...bros..u go old die ur children go old..die and north wud still b in business...we have suffered hatered frm pple like you bt hia we are biger and stronger.....if d tin day pain you go hang ur self...

zicoraads:
Obviously some empty brains didn't bother to read through the whole story before attempting to place it on the PDP. However, it should be noted that, in all the states that the PDP has lost, there has been a good display of sportsmanship. However, what the APC seem to be doing is resorting to violence in places they have lost.

No one has a monopoly of violence. The people of Gembu and those that are sponsoring them must realize that. The APC must realize this. The PDP is firmly rooted in Taraba and they voted for the PDP. If the APC don't call their supporters to order, the whole state might go up in flames before tomorrow. This is not the first time. For those who have been there, they would know what am talking about.

Sen Aisha Alhassan cannot win in Taraba state. Sen Aisha Alhassan did not win in Taraba state. Why cancel the result of Donga LG?

Taraba is one of, if not the most backward state in the whole country. The APC shouldn't set it further back simply because they want power.

wtin ds mugu day talk....

hmmmm...he should go back home and tactically,patiently nd intelligently kill the woman.....he shud b kiaful of his methods so as nt to raise suspicion...if i wia d one i wud set my house on fire aftr taking all relevant documents out and possibly send the kids fr holiday,s...i wud mke sure she dosnt escape it while i plan fr my escape maybe with a low degree burn on my left hand....i cnt forgive such betrayal at all...

“This is the protection which the servant of God, ‘Umar, the Ruler of the Believers has granted to the people of Eiliya [Jerusalem]. The protection is for their lives and properties, their churches and crosses, their sick and healthy and for all their coreligionists. Their churches shall not be used for habitation, nor shall they be demolished, nor shall any injury be done to them or to their compounds, or to their crosses, nor shall their properties be injured in any way. There shall be no compulsion for these people in the matter of religion, nor shall any of them suffer any injury on account of religion… Whatever is written herein is under the covenant of God and the responsibility of His Messenger, of the Caliphs and of the believers, and shall hold good as long as they pay Jizya [the tax for their defense] imposed on them.”

Those non-Muslims who took part in defense together with the Muslims were exempted from paying Jizya, and when the Muslims had to retreat from a city whose non-Muslim citizens had paid this tax for their defense, the tax was returned to the non-Muslims. The old, the poor and the disabled of Muslims and non-Muslims alike were provided for from the public treasury and from the Zakat funds.

A BOMBSHELL!! – ANOTHER HORROR STORY FROM THE INTELLIGENCE FILES!

My people, because of the tireless and fearless work that we do at CUPS, which involves enlightening our people on how to save themselves from corruption, misrule, tyranny, occupation, and genocide, we get a lot of leaked information from informants in Nigeria. Some of it is excellent, and some of it is just recycled conspiracy ideas on Facebook. Meanwhile we at CUPS have near perfected ways of verifying leaked information sent to us using different techniques, including the use of digital forensics, which is one of my fields of expertise as a Computer Security Research Scientist.

The story below reached us this morning (23/02/2015). It came from one of our reliable sources in Nigeria. It is one of the most disturbing stories that we have yet received. Read it and make your own judgement!

“I have it on a strong ground that there is a plan to capture a Shekau before the week to elections. And the captured Shekau who is currently undergoing training on what to say and do will mention Buhari as one of their core sponsors. The target according to the source is to discourage Southern voters and the Northern Christians (from liking Buhari). The confession is alleged to be so perfectly planned that Buhari may even be arrested and even those who love him may think twice (about his sincerity). The sum of 4.5 billion Naira is purportedly budgeted. The purpose of this budget I am told is for bribing some Northern clerics so when the time comes, they will pacify their followers (to reject Buhari as he is BoKo Haram sponsor). There will purportedly be audio of phone calls (between Buhari and the Boko Haram leaders). Buhari will not be able to sue the government since it will be an arranged confession of a captured terrorist. Now, I am not saying this (leak) is true. But knowing how desperate these PDP people are, they can do just anything to get Buhari out of the way. Honestly, I am deeply, deeply, deeply, worried. In fact, I am troubled. Kindly share this and let the world know about this evil machination of the PDP before it is too late. Kindly do it. The person who gave me this information is an Intelligence officer with the Army. He looks worried too.”

May God save Nigeria and Nigerians. Amen.

Well-known Islamic scholar, Sheikh
Ahmad Gumi has expressed his opinion
on Buhari’s intention to run against
President Goodluck Jonathan in the
upcoming elections, SaharaReporters
reports.
The son of late famous Sheikh Abubakar
Gumi, said on Tuesday morning, that he
believes there will be severe implications if
the ex head of state continues on his
ambition to be the next president. Sheikh
Gumi wrote an open letter to this effect.
Several supporters of Buhari have criticised
Gumi over a letter he wrote on Goodluck
and Buhari titled: The Second Round Of
Goodluck Vs Buhari: A Source Of
Apprehension’ . Nigerians reportedly accused
him of jealousy and hatred for Buhari.
Read excerpt of the Sheikh Gumi’s open
letter below:
I know I have access to your privy but this
is meant for others to learn also.
The prophet -peace be upon him- told one
of the most honest and truthful of his
companions Abu Zar Algafary: “oh Abu Zar,
I truly love for you what I love for myself. I
indeed see that you are weak so never
accept to lead even two people and never
accept safekeeping of the orphans wealth’
An honest and candid advice from the
prophet that is still valid today for any
leader who’s weakness borders on
leadership qualities.
The reason for Abu Zar’s weakness has
nothing to do with his credibility or
truthfulness. Never! The prophet was
narrated as saying: “there is nobody under
the shadows of trees or bare sun that is
more honest in speech than Abu Zar”
Abu Zar – May Allah be pleased with him- is
ascetic and inmaterialistic. Abu Zar is
incorruptible. And yet he is not suitable for
leadership.
I am not claiming to be even by an atom’s
weight anything close to our noble prophet,
yet I am encouraged to give you this same
advice by the virtue that you are not also
close to Abu Zar in piety. We are living in a
time of great tribulations and fitnah
especially for this Ummah because of our
collective iniquities, ignorance of religious
instructions and the love of Dunyah.
Sir, your weakness is not in your past
impeccable record of accountability of
public wealth and the fight against
corruption and indispiline. Your weakness is
in your inability to control men
compounded further by your strict and
obsessive rejection of corruption.
Don’t be surprised. You may need to
understand that Islam being a pragmatic
religion allows the use of Zakkat and public
wealth as an instrument to pacify and lure
influential people for the sake of
rightouness, peace and stability. In modern
governance today it translate into the
security vote.
Thus men are also controlled by money. So
if your policy of governance is obsessibly
centered on sealing tight the use of money
you will have great problem with men. An
Arab poet said: “a fool cannot be the leader
of his people but the true leader of the
people must feign foolishness”.
It’s convenient for your ardent supporters
to quote copiously from the annals of
history your great achievements but when
your failures and weaknesses were pointed
out they say that was in the past. Is the
lessons of past history only good for the
positive achievements? Doesn’t that also
explain our incessant failures?
Your Excellency, good intentions are never
enough. In the past, because of your clean
records and straightforwardness you were
lured by men who want only the vanities
Dunya to uproot a young democracy on the
caprices of fighting corruption. Corruption
is no doubt an evil but there is a more
monstrous evil than corruption. That is
turmoil and insecurity. Peace and stability
are the most important part of governance
that no price is to high for them.
The lack of peace, stability and security is
the major predicament of this nation since
independence. So when you were naively
used by men to derail one, that is the
greatest disservice you committed to the
nation the ills of which we are yet to
recover from. Do you truly believe Allah is
still not in cognizance of that? You were
lead to uproot a duly elected leader and
incrassate him for close to two years
knowing fully well that he has no charge of
even the corruption that was labeled against
him. Yes, Shagari was the leader and
therefore he bears all the responsibility of
misdeeds in his government, so also you
were a leader and you should bear all the
responsibility of derailing the peace and
stability of governance in this country as a
consequence of that putsch.
You weakness in control of men became
evident when the very people that used you
to revolt against a constituted authority
came back to uproot you from the seat of
power. Your own kinsmen without a gun
cocked in your defense. Today the
corruption you were deceived to fight
against has reached unimaginable level
coupled with the worst state of insecurity
and peace in the nation. There was just
recently an attempt on your life like many
of us.
All this because you the honest people that
are given the privilege of strengthening the
Armed forces left it to meddle in politics.
We thus lost everything. Neither the power
nor the security.
A believer is not stung from the same hole
twice. Men used your innocence before to
get power and dump you. Please be sensible
today. Some other men still want to use you
to get power and surely they will dump you
again. You don’t share the same philosophy
at all. Even though as I explained later, your
obsession and philosophy of fighting
corruption is not the priority of Nigeria
today. What Nigeria needs utmost now is
peace and stability. This can only be
achieved when the religious ethnic and
regional divide is tamed. And you can only
tame it with people without much
precedence. People without much following.
Yet people that are constructive and have
the ability to control men.
If Sardauna today is alive in your situation
he will never contest for the presidential
seat because of his deep understanding of
what the nation needs. He will step down
for a more acceptable younger person. It’s
on record that Sardauna even at the age of
under 60 said he was not going to contest
again preparing his only house in Rabah for
retirement.
I’ll give you a similitude to buttress my
point of priority. A person seriously injured
and fractured from a road traffic accident
when brought to the emergency room, the
first priority of the doctors is to secure an
intravenous line. Meaning get a drip set
working into his veins to protect his vital
organs like the heart and kidneys from the
effects of shock and loss of blood. The
fractures even though serious and the
source of the blood loss may take days and
weeks before they are even attended to
beside the superficial dressings.
Nigeria now needs peace and stability first.
Then we talk of good governance later even
though it’s the source of the predicament
we are facing.
The present government has already
charged the situation and played the
religious divide to it’s advantage. It’s in
circulation now, a SW pastor calling on
Christians and the church to vote Jonathan
as their only Savior. This religious card will
be used to cover for his deficiency in
governance.
Your Excellency, you should understand
too, that many if not most of your
supporters are also looking up to you to
protect them from the onslaught on their
religion and region. This also the Christian
will never believe the otherwise. Therefore
the stage is set for religious confrontation
which is the least the nation needs.
What we need as a priority is peace and
stability.
From my view if APC can support as an
example Amaechi or Okorocha/Kwankwaso
or El-Rufai or Tambuwwal ticket and the
PDC will have Ukpabio/Muazu or Ribadu or
Shekaru, the next four years will. – insha
Allah – witness stability both in the north
and south. And the electoral body will get
the necessary infrastructure that
subsequently the next election will be free
and fair and the true reflection of
Nigerians.
If you may ask, why can’t this same peace
be achieved with you and another Christian
running mate?
Gen. you have antagonist, and they are
many and also as ardent as your supporters.
Your supporters have the biggest proportion
of the underprivileged of the society which
is the petrol that can be easily ignited by
the slightest spark. The spark will be when
you’re declared the loser. And you know
you can very well lose if the Christians
follow their church -and why not in this era
of mediocrity.
On the other hand if Jonathan comes back.
BH will be real not the political one we see.
The turmoil will engulf the whole country
not only the north. That is why I also call
on PDP to present some other candidates.
My Brother in Islam, please listen to the
words of wisdom. And don’t follow the
whims of the riff raff. Before they used you
the first time to disrupt the second
republic, my father advised you against it.
Today I am also advising you against
contesting in the 2015 presidential
elections because you will be used to ignite
the nation -a dream well
orchestrated several years ago- and also be
used by bad people as a ladder to grab
regional and local powers.
I rest my case here.
My best regards and condolence to your
recent loss.
May Allah guide you and protect you from
the evil men and the jinn. Amin.
Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi

My brother, remember first and foremost that in marriage your partner is a stranger. You start learning to live with each other. Secondly, she's your WIFE and not a maid. Stop complaining about not cooking for you, being disrespectful and not doing this and that. That's not the definition of modern marriage; any marriage for that matter. It's not a contest. Why not humble yourself and learn to please her instead and watch her eat out of your palms.

see ds woman wrapper..tchww...so she shudnt cook for him....so he shud be d one whose to please the wife bt nt vice versa..oh pls

WE 'LL NAME BOKO HARAM COLLABORATORS
IN MILITARY HIERARCHY IF...
...AGGRIEVED SOLDIERS WARN.
Published on Monday, 22 September 2014

Written by Our Reporter
JUNIOR officers of the Nigerian Army have
threatened to expose senior military officers
who collaborate with the Boko Haram
insurgents in protest of the death sentence
passed on their colleagues by the military
martial court that tried them for mutiny.
According to our source, Nigerian soldiers
are fiercely proud of their exploits and
anything that makes them lose face must be
dealt with squarely. This according to him
was responsible for the alleged mutiny which
led to the court marshalling of some of their
colleagues. Our source, a serving soldier who
pleaded anonymity said that the unfortunate
uprising leading to the attack on the vehicle
of the General Officer Commanding the 7th
Division of the Nigerian Army, General
Ahmed Mohammed was as a result of poor
tactics in the field.
He pointed out that the residents of Bama
still nurse contempt for the soldiers because
of the mistakes they made during the battle
of Bama. But they did not know that it was
not the fault of the soldiers in the field
rather the tactical mistakes came from their
superiors which culminated in the alleged
mutiny against the former General Officer
Commanding GOC of the 7th Division.
The soldiers claim that the Defence
Headquarters should be blamed because they
failed to heed to their complaints. According
to the soldiers, General Mohammed, our
source said, has had his strategies queried
several times because it all led to failures.
His tactical ability has been a concern since
he was made the GOC of the Division. His
soldiers have even complained to the hearing
of Abuja that he is fond of taking decisions
that lead to wrong judgments and deaths of
the soldiers and civilian.
They said that this has been going on even
before the first visit of the Chief of Army
staff General Kenneth Minimah to the north
east to cheer the soldiers.

news/latest-news/988-we-ll-name-boko-
haram-collaborators-in-military-hierarchy-if .
However, regardless of what the soldiers did
which culminated in the said mutiny, many
within the barracks are of the views that too
many mistakes have been made by the senior
military officers and politicians who have
been managing this insurgency. It is these
mistakes that have led to pent up frustration
by the soldiers and subsequent attack on the
GOC which the high command of the Army is
hurrying to nip in the bud with death
sentences against the 12 soldiers instead of
addressing the grievances of the soldiers, our
source say.
General Chris Olukolade in one of his visits
to the Division this year actually told this
reporter that the essence of using this
approach to manage the crisis was to set an
example so that other divisions do not get
infected by what he called insubordination
and mutiny.
However some within the military circles are
worried because the strategy may not work.
A retired military officer who spoke with
National Daily in Maiduguri during the week
warned that if the condition of service fails
to improve, there will be no guarantee that it
will force the soldiers to keep mute, warning
that it may even lead to a silent rebellion in
all the Army divisions right now knowing that
this trial was directed at the men and not the
officers who should share in the blame. Add
to that, the retired officer who would not
want his name mentioned said that rumoured
retirement of General Ahmed Mohammed,
the man in the eye of the storm may not go
down well with the junior officers, he said.
From our investigations within the ranks of
the soldiers, the very trial itself was a
mistake. Instead of management placating
the men who have been fighting and losing
their lives to a rag tag war being fought by
the government who have failed to declare a
full scale war against insurgents who are
treating them as enemies, they have declared
a silent war against soldiers. This has turned
to a serious quandary in all the battalions
under the 7th Division.
During our investigations, we found that
most of the rank and file of the 7th Division
of the Army received the news of the
sentence of their colleagues with shock. Most
of them are really bitter and have vowed to
respond accordingly if the sentence was
carried.
According to one of the military sources
"Our generals have not been carrying
soldiers along. They treat us as if we are still
in the 1960's when soldiers did not go to
school before the civil war.
Soldiers are now educated. A lot of those
who they treat like ignoramuses have quality
certificates including degrees. So it is not
true that we do not know our rights we know
all our rights but we do not have anybody
who will see our plights and adjust the army
act to give us fair dealings.
These generals are really cheating us. They
treat us as if we do not matter when it is us
the soldiers that make their lives go on.
"If people think we complain too much
because the job is about obeying and
complaining later then they are getting it
wrong. We have been complaining that way
because there is no general who do not have
one of us as his orderly or batsman yet they
do not feel our pains.
They know we know their secrets which are
why they think this Court Marshall may make
us submit, it is not possible.
"Let me tell you, our colleagues are their
batmen and they know so much about their
secrets. This job is about keeping secrets but
very soon we will start to expose them
because we have evidence that so many of
them are members of boko Haram.
What happened to those who were fingered
in dangerous Boko Haram deals, the thing
just died a natural death isnt it?
Now they want to kill our colleagues. We are
waiting to see how they will do that. If they
eventually kill those colleagues of ours, I
swear there will be repercussions, very
daring ones.
On the situation on ground in the 7th
Division he went on:"The barracks is tensed
up now and we do not know how the
battered morale of our colleagues will be
built up in case of any eventuality. I was
trained to fight war with the right
equipments, not to go and deliberately
expose myself to be killed.
So many of our colleagues have been killed,
we buried more than 100 corpses in a month
at the Marmalari Barracks Cemetery. Many of
them are buried without the knowledge of
their next of kin which is wrong.
How will you not inform the next of kin
about somebody's death immediately it
happened only for them to get to know when
it is time to evacuate them from the
barracks?
"My brother we live in a country of different
laws for different people,
if not why would they fix a different law for
themselves with full honours when they pay
the supreme price and a different law for us
if not for corruption which has crept into
our institution? That is a wrong which must
be redressed by the National Assembly
because left to our generals; this old colonial
behaviour is ok by them.
Mark my word, we expect our colleagues to
appeal but at the end of the day if this
judgment is carried, the whole army will be
divided between officers and men because
we are their drivers, cooks, orderly, batmen
and everything you think of, they rely on us,
including their very lives.
No general can live without the soldier but
we can live without them. That court
Marshall Judgment is faulty.
"We are not rebellious as General Olukolade
is painting us in some of his pronouncements
we read in the media.
We are rather very loyal soldiers of the
Nigerian Army and the behaviour of those
sentenced to death is just a signal that they,
the officers will not be safe if they kill our
people unnecessarily.
How many do they want to kill? We have a
common enemy Boko Haram inside this very
state, instead of them to rally round the
soldiers and the people to get to the root,
they are using oppression. We are waiting to
see who will fire the shots at the firing range
and where they will get the soldiers from to
do the job."
Another soldier told this reporter that the
country could be dismembered completely if
the accused soldiers were shot because his
colleagues have planned to abandon their
stations for the officers to fight the
insurgents themselves, and if that happens, it
means the insurgents could go as far as
Abuja without anybody stopping their trail of
impunity the way they have been contained
in the north east.
He said he was not happy with the way the
judiciary has been handling a lot of these
impunity cases brought before them adding
that they were supposed to set examples for
the country to remain united. He cited the
case of major Hamza Mustapha who had
committed so many atrocities yet was
released by the same judiciary.
He went on: “my brother, officers are
symbols of the unit, but we are the people
that hold the unit. The contents of any unit
are the real soldiers, without that unit you
will not be talking to me in Maiduguri by
now.
It is the same unit that forms the Chief
Clerks,
drivers of officers,
batmen,
RSM and many others who protect and take
care of both the doctors and the wounded in
MRS.
They form the core of the fighting men. It
has been so from time in memorial and it is
time, they begin to seek our advice in
anything concerning us and our very welfare.
We want all the rights our international
colleagues are enjoying be restored to us.
When soldiers pay the supreme price, they
should be recognized. They have refused to
declare full scale war and it has opened a
can of warms and if they do not want us to
be exposing them; they should give our next
of kins accesses to our remains if we pay the
supreme price.
Why are they playing politics with people's
lives by refusing to give us the right
equipments and the matching orders to fight
a full scale war?
Why should field commanders ask for
permission before routing out insurgents? He
asked angrily.
Meanwhile, while the soldiers continued their
campaign for better conditions of service
including increased field allowance available
in a full scale war, several skirmishes have
been heard between Konduga and the Mafa
axis of the town where insurgents of Boko
Haram have taken over several towns and
villages.
The fracas of 11th September led by Col
Danladi Hassan of the 103 Battalion led to a
big catch, a serving soldier of the Nigerian
Army who has been helping the enemy was
recaptured from the Boko Haram intruders.
He is believed to be undergoing debriefing
sessions to neutralize the radicalization he
may have gone through in the hands of the
Sambisa war Lords. Lots of items were
recovered including: 5 Toyota Hilux vehicles,
4 Buffaloes Land Cruisers,
35 FN Rifles,
39 ak47 Rifles,
6GPMG,
9RPG's and 2 Boko Haram flags meant to be
planted somewhere.
Since last week, residents in the Maiduguri
metropolis could not sleep because the close
gun battles. There are indications that the
insurgents are dead serious about getting to
Maiduguri. They had a grand plan to come
from different angles. And based on their
plans some of them moved down to Gamju,
close to Beneshiek, a strategic town along
the Damaturu, Maiduguri road.
Indeed no one is praying for an invasion of
the state capital the way the insurgents have
been successful in some major towns and
villages in northern Borno state.
They are really not resting in their oars
because they have been radicalised to believe
that capturing Maiduguri is a divine duty
which must be fulfilled even if it takes the
rest of this decade, said a source who knows
about the insurgents.
But the gallant soldiers are not giving an
inch, as at Wednesday morning, this reporter
was around West-End Roundabout which
connects Customs Area. A long convoy of
battered tanks and Toyota Hilux fighter
vehicles were being ferried back to
Marmalari Barracks where it rightly
belonged.
Three of the tanks had massive inscriptions
of the insignia of the haramists in arabic.
On Thursday about the same time another
convoy was ferried to their Divisional Base in
Barga Road. This means they had converted
stolen tanks of the Nigerian Army and the
7th division was fully in control of these
tanks seized from theirs failed attempt to
overrun the infantry soldiers at Konduga.
For the first time in a long while soldiers
smiled at the citizenry and the people hailed
them. Shouts of well done, well done, rented
the air with lots of people waving at the
victorious warriors.
Sources say that the hero of this latest
conquest is Col. Danladi Hassan who was said
to be actively involved in the fields.
Residents of Maiduguri are in high spirit with
many praying for an end to this war. From
every indication, the soldiers are having the
upper hand. —
