History (and sometimes, unfortunately, current
events) shows us just how easily national
borders can change, but we still like to think
that they are permanent fixtures. These photos
of different national borders around the world
show you how both friendly and hostile nations
like to fence off their turf.
Borders will often say much about countries’
relationships. The borders between friendly
nations, especially those in the European
Union’s Schengen zone, can seem almost non-
existent, marked by no more than a line or a
road sign. Other borders are delineated by
natural markers like rivers, or by man-made
markers, like guard posts and demilitarized
zones.

Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s
order that the military command centre be
relocated to Maiduguri in Borno State, the
Nigerian military has established a Command
and Control Centre, MCCC, in the state.
The centre’s operation, themed Operation
Zaman Lafiya, is created for the fight against
Boko Haram that has ravaged the North East
since 2009. This has led to the killing of many
and displacement of others by the insurgents.
Sani Usman, Nigerian Army spokesperson, said
the establishment of the command is in
accordance with Mr. Buhari’s pronouncement
and the directive from the Chief of Army Staff,
Kenneth Minimah.
Mr. Buhari had during his inauguration
ceremony at the Eagle Square in Abuja on May
29 said that the military command centre be
relocated to Maiduguri in Borno State – the
center stage of Boko Haram terrorists’
activities.
He said the arrangement will remain that till
Boko Haram is defeated.
Mr. Usman said an advance team led by a
major general has commenced work in
Maiduguri.
“The team, which is led by a two-star General,
has already commenced work in earnest and it
is comprised of elements of the Office of the
Chief of Army Staff, all the relevant Army
Headquarters Departments and other combat
support components,”Mr. Usman, a colonel,
said.
The centre, Mr. Usman said, will serve as a
forward command base for the Chief of Army
Staff and other Service Chiefs.
He said the MCCC is an elaboration of an
“already existing” army headquarters command
and control arrangement.
“From now on, the fight against terrorism and
insurgency would be monitored, coordinated
and controlled from this centre,” he said.
He added that the establishment of the MCCC
would not create another command structure
but would serve as a motivation to the
Operation Zaman Lafiya; all aimed at bringing
an end to insurgency.
Mr. Usman also said an alternate command
centre is also being established in Yola.

The immediate past deputy governor of Rivers
State, Tele Ikuru, has accused his former boss
and state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, of
maltreating him despite his contributions to
the government.
Mr. Ikuru, who quit the ruling All Progressives
Congress in Rivers State at the twilight of the
administration, said Mr. Amaechi denied him
parting gifts and money when the government
finally came to a close in May.
He said this happened despite his contributions
to the state, part of which was returning state
funds and saving an estimated N100 billion for
the state.
Speaking during a Thanksgiving Service at St.
Simons Anglican Church, Ikuru-Town in Andoni
Local Government Area, Sunday, Mr. Ikuru said
the thanksgiving service was to thank God for
his grace and faithfulness to him, his family,
and friends during the eight years of service to
the state.
“I served this government for seven years and
seven months under Amaechi, because I was
with Omehia for 5 months,” Mr. Ikuru said.
“At the end of the seven years and seven
months Amaechi did not think that I deserved
any parting gift in spite of the fact that in the
course of this administration, by reason of the
office I occupied, I returned several monies to
him valued over two billion Naira cash at
different times during one work or the other.”
In March, Mr. Ikuru stunned Mr. Amaechi and
the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State
when he defected to the Peoples’ Democratic
Party six days to the general elections.
Announcing his defection at the time, Mr. Ikuru
had described the APC in the state as a party of
rebels, insurgents, and anarchists clothed in
robes of pretence and deceit.
“Ever since, as the true nature and motives of
APC are unveiled, I have continued to twist and
turn in extreme mental and emotional agony,”
he had said.
“The more I struggle to belong, the more the
Rivers man in me rejects the APC.”
On Sunday, Mr. Ikuru stated that his
contribution to Mr. Amaechi’s administration
saved Rivers State “not less than a hundred
billion Naira” over the period.
“At the end of the seven years and seven
months, my boss left me hard and dry, nothing
and no penny to go home with,” he added.
Mr. Ikuru gave glory to God for all that
happened, saying that he had never expected
reward from man his entire life, rather he
always looked up to God and that with the
thanksgiving, he was sure that God will
remember him.
In his address, Nyesom Wike, the Rivers State
Governor, described Mr. Ikuru as a wonderful
servant to the state, pointing out that he
finished very strong in view of his outstanding
legacies.
Mr. Wike, who was represented by Kenneth
Kobani, the Secretary to the State Government,
noted that Mr. Ikuru’s track record singled him
out to head the transition committee that
ushered in the present government.
“His Excellency has asked me to join you in this
thanksgiving service, and to say our brother
Tele Ikuru had been a wonderful servant to
Rivers State,” Mr. Kobani said.
“He served the state meritoriously and finished
very strong. That is why at the time we needed
someone to midwife the transition
government, we did not have to look anywhere
else, but to look at Tele Ikuru to lead us.”
Also speaking, the National Chairman of the
People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Uche
Secondus, lauded Mr. Ikuru for his humble and
peaceful disposition which he noted stemmed
from his upbringing from a humble family.
Earlier in his sermon, the Curate of the church,
Reverend Silas Ikut, who spoke on the topic
“Standing on the Existing Protocol”, urged
everyone to follow God’s protocol which he
noted had been established to bring about
peace and good governance in the state.

A 22-year-old unemployed, Stanley Amoebi,
has been charged before a Badagry Chief
Magistrate’s Court in Lagos State for allegedly
stealing a pack of coke valued at N1,000.
The accused is facing a charge of stealing.
Prosecuting Inspector Innocent Uko told the
court that the accused committed the offence
on June 1 at about 6.00 p.m. at Ajara Shopping
Complex in Badagry.
Uko noted that the accused stole a pack of coke
from the complainant, Mrs Senami Hungbo, at
her shop.
“He went to the woman’s shop to buy a pack of
coke, but while the woman was looking for
change for him, he disappeared with another
pack. The woman pursued him and he was
apprehended.’’
Uko noted that the offence contravened
Section 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State.
Counsel to the accused, Mr Yemi Fowler,
pleaded with the court to grant him bail on
liberal terms.
Magistrate Abiodun Etti, granted the accused
N20,000 bail.
He adjourned the case till July 3.[/q] Source: thenationonlineng.net/new/man-docked-for-coke-theft/[quote] Not saying what he did is right but why have two different set of laws for same citizens? Or is this a case of all animals being equal but some being more equal than others? A public official will loot billions and will go for a plea bargain where he returns a small fraction of what he steals and even those who are jailed are given state welcome and pardon. But a poor man who steals something of N1000 will be made to pay a 20,000 bail fee. We're all supposed to be equal before the law.

I check your profile, we know be enemy na. my comments are just for fun and nothing should be taken personal. I get insult daily and I will still laugh with them tomorrow. matured guys don't take Nl issue personal bro, I know you are kidding anyway

agarawu23:
bad belle is allowed if I am not in your party, that doesn't make us enemy political argument here on this forum is just for fun . nothing personal bro

barcanista:
This thread is to officially call on noble PDP fans, Supporters, admirers and all patriotic citizens to endorse the candidacy of Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki(APC Kwara) and Honorable Yakubu Dogara (APC, Bauchi) for the positions of Senate President and House Speaker respectively.

Why Senator Saraki and Honorable Dogara:
The emergence of Senator Saraki will mean a major crack in the APC structure and the quest for dominance of this political era. Saraki knowing fully well that he wasn't the APC "nominee" will be more liberal and less partisan because he knows that he needs the PDP Senators to survive. The PDP cannot afford not to reinvent their influence and prepare for 2019.

Honorable Yakubu Dogara, a Christian from Bauchi state has pledged to adopt Hon Leo Ogar (PDP, Delta state) as the Deputy Senate President. He has also pledged that Chairmanship of House Committees will be in 50:50 sharing formular between the PDP and APC. Like Saraki, he isn't the nominee of the APC. His emergence will nullify the APC planned expansion and will whittle their proposed structure. The PDP can't afford to lose this opportunity to assert their influence in the 8th Assembly.

Can We Succeed?
Of the 60 APC Senators, a group of 35 under the Umbrella of "Like Minds" consisting of Senators from the three geo-political zones in the North (NC, NW and North East) have endorsed Senator Saraki. PDP has 49 members of the Senate, 18 from South South, 15 SE, Ekiti 3, Ondo 1, Ogun 1, Taraba 3, and one each for Yobe, Nasarawa and Benue states. A bloc vote of at least the Senators from SS and SE plus the 35 already from the APC Saraki group is more than enough to return Saraki elected. Considering the game of politics, all 49 PDP Senators should not fail to vote for Senator Bukola Saraki on Tuesday.

For the House Speakership, of 214 APC Members, 154 endorsed Gbajabiamila. The 125 PDP Reps (SS 52, SE 38, NC 8, SW 20 and 8 from NE) should endeavour not to miss this opportunity to have a say in the House, for the benefit of themselves and the Party. South South and South East PDP contingents must not disappoint Hon Leo Ogar. They all should mobilise and participate in the election. The Hon Dogara group already has 55-61 APC Reps in their ranks. With the block 125 votes from PDP in addition to the 55-61 pro Dogara APC, the "PDP" will coast to victory and be the defacto leader of the NASS.

We cannot afford to lose this golden opportunity to control the two chambers of the National Assembly. We lost the Presidency, we can't afford to lose the Senate and the House.

I hereby use this medium to call on well meaning Nigerians and the PDP supporters to endorse this proposal.

#PDP Shall Lead Again

This is the most sensible post here, thumbs up to u for thinking with ur head unlike other folks typing from their anus blinded by passion. This is 2015 for heavens sake. He shouldn't have handed over na after being beaten squarely. Even if its by one vote, buhari won him so he handed over as expected in sane climates. Its only African mentality and stupidity that's making some ppl call him hero by handling over. The dude did all he could to stay in power but hell no, ppls will prevailed. After spending billions of taxpayers money to campaign. Questions should be asked and he should be made to answer cases of corruption and not silly praises. Africa can only move forward when we hold our leaders responsible for every act as expected of them

Ok

Hope he probes Amaechi n Tinubu too ooo

Barely one week after the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari, the United States government has asked him to revisit the $182 million Halliburton bribery case and diligently prosecute all those involved in the scandal.

President Buhari has, consequently, directed the appropriate security agencies to reopen investigations into the case and make appropriate recommendations, it was gathered on Friday.

Informed security sources disclosed to Saturday Tribune that the U.S. government made it clear that unless those involved were prosecuted, part of the bribe money, about $140 million, recovered and still in the US, would not be repatriated to Nigeria.

“Following this development, President Buhari has directed the investigation committee made up of representatives of all security agencies to dust off the file and complete the investigations and charge those indicted to court,” the source said.

By Friday afternoon, key security officers involved in the investigations were seen by Saturday Tribune gathering files and dusting off documents on the case.

The case was investigated four years ago by a security panel headed by retired AIG Ahmadu Ali, who at the end of the case charged a former personal aide to a former Head of State to court but the case was later struck out due to lack of diligent prosecution.

Jeffry Tesler, who was the go-between in the payment of the bribes paid to secure the contract for the final phase of the multibillion naira Nationa Liquefied Natural Gas project was sentenced to 21 months in prison and forfeited $148.964 million from his Swiss accounts to the United States government.

The American government’s report on the Halliburton bribery scandal had indicted three former Nigerian leaders, a former number two citizen, a minister, intelligence chiefs and corporate giants in the list of bribery beneficiaries.

One of the indicted corporate titans, a construction company that allegedly handled the distribution of the money later opted for plea bargaining and paid the sum of $25 million to the government.

The source added that the go-between, Jeffry Tesler had served out his prison sentence and returned to England.

The security source further disclosed to Saturday Tribune that the case file would soon be reopened “and all those who were invited during the investigation will soon appear again."

The source source said, “My brother, this is a serious case now because the government of the day is very eager to prosecute anybody indicted in it so as to serve as a deterrent to others.”
