PoliticsIran 'seals' Nuclear Deal With World Powers by HolyHero(op): 11:27am On Jul 14, 2015
Six major powers have reached an agreement with Iran on the country's nuclear programme. Tehran has been granted sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear programme, a source told Reuters. "All the hard work has paid off and we sealed a deal. God bless our people," he said. Foreign ministers of Iran and the six powers, including ministers from Britain and the US, have started meeting in Vienna to ratify the deal which has taken months to finalise. They are then expected to hold a press conference in the Austrian capital at which the details will be released. Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif welcomed the deal, saying: "I believe this is a historic moment. Today could have been the end of hope, but now we are starting a new chapter of hope." The dead is signed in Vienna The EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said the deal provided an opportunity to open a new chapter in international relations. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been a long-standing critic of the talks, described the deal as a bad mistake of historic proportions. He said: "Iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons. Many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted. "Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world," he added. US President Barack Obama is expected to make a statement on Iran at noon UK time. Iran's nuclear sites :: Sources are saying that the deal includes a compromise between Washington and Tehran that will allow UN inspectors to request visits to Iranian military sites as part of their monitoring duties, but not have an automatic right to visit whenever they choose. :: In the event that Iran refuses a request to visit, an arbitration board composed of Iran and the six world powers will have to decide on whether a visit should go ahead. :: Analysts say that the lack of an automatic right to visit is likely to be seized upon by critics, as it could give Tehran time to cover up any non-compliance by the time a visit takes place. :: A concession by Iran is that missile sanctions will not be lifted for another eight years and a general weapons embargo will remain in place for another five years. :: According to Russia, Iran has been allowed to continue nuclear enrichment and researching centrifuges in a manner that does not allow it to accumulate enriched uranium. Iran has a missile system which some fear could carry a nuclear bomb :: In the event that Iran breaches the agreement, a 'snapback' clause is in place that will allow sanctions to be reinstated within 65 days of Iranian non- compliance, Reuters reported. :: A roadmap has been drawn up to tackle remaining issues, which will be resolved by the end of 2015, including the issue of access to the Parchin military base, the International Atomic Energy Agency said. Many other countries welcomed the deal, hopeful that it could unlock trade after years of being unable to do business with Iran because of international sanctions. Tehran and the six world powers have been holding marathon negotiations at the ministerial level for more than a fortnight to resolve a 12-year stand-off. The six countries are Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States. The West has long been concerned that Iran holds ambitions to build a nuclear bomb. Tehran says its nuclear programme is purely to generate energy for civilian purposes. Sanctions imposed upon Iran by the West, including restrictions on the sale of oil, have been harmful to Iran's economy and the country has been keen to see them lifted.

Israel look strong around its Arab neighbors, beyond that, its a different game entirely. You see, the Persians or Iranians (as they are called today) aint arabs, they walk the talk, if u know what I mean...for far too long now, they've been daring Israel to stop barking and attack them as it has been saying it would for God knows how long now. But nothing has happened, you know why? because Israel dont have the balls to fight a formidable opponent without bigdaddy USA military support. And the support is not forthcoming either, because a war with the Persians is too risky even for the US. US can not sacrifice the lives of its citizens to go die for your "mighty" Israel over Iran. So the US snubbed Israel and chose to dialogue with the Iranians over their Nuclear program.
if you think Israel can't attack Iran without the support of America you are wrong ... if not for America
Israel would have attacked iran and bombed its nuclear installations

First, this Video is an old Video even it was published yesterday.

This actually happened when Goodluck Jonathan was the President, so people should stop calling Buhari's name. That said, Buhari is winning the war on Boko Haram, and soon those heartless criminals will be brought to Justice.

***modified***

The Western(foreign) Press and their paid agents, will do anything to Rubbish President Buhari's name by linking him or his Government to Boko Haram, just because he is a Muslim. We have seen all this before, PDP backed Western Propaganda. This Particular Video had been circulating since the middle of last Year, is it not mischievous that it is in July of 2015 that a UK Daily is carrying it again?and as if on MAGIC no Media house in Nigeria knows about it?this will not work.

President Buhari, came into the Office riding on a popular mandate. Some of those mandates includes, but not limited to (A) fighting Corruption(B) fighting not just Boko Haram, but any kind of insurgency including the Militants in the Creeks.

He has not been in office for two months, and so far he is doing a wonderful job, And so far has surpassed Clueless Jonathan in some fundamental angles i.e the fight against corruption and the fight against Boko Haram.

Nice one Mr. President.

We the PEOPLE of Nigeria SUPPORTS you.

Christianity EtcWhat You Should Know About Karma And It Laws by HolyHero(op): 11:25pm On Jul 09, 2015
Karma means action, work or deed; it also refers to the
spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent
and actions of an individual (cause) influence the
future of that individual (effect). Good intent and
good deed contribute to good karma and future
happiness, while bad intent and bad deed contribute
to bad karma and future suffering. Karma is
closely associated with the idea of rebirth in some
schools of Asian religions.
In these schools, karma
in the present affects one's future in the current life,
as well as the nature and quality of future lives - or,
one's saṃsāra.
With origins in ancient India, it is a key concept in
Hinduism , Buddhism, Jainism , Sikhism, [7] and
Taoism

What is Karma? Karma is the Sanskrit word for action.
It is equivalent to Newton's law of ‘every action must
have a reaction’. When we think, speak or act we
initiate a force that will react accordingly. This returning
force maybe modified, changed or suspended, but most
people will not be able eradicate it.
This law of cause and effect is not punishment, but is
wholly for the sake of education or learning.
A person may not escape the consequences of his
actions, but he will suffer only if he himself has made
the conditions ripe for his suffering. Ignorance of the
law is no excuse whether the laws are man-made or
universal.
To stop being afraid and to start being empowered in
the worlds of karma and reincarnation, here is what you
need to know about karmic laws.

1. THE GREAT LAW
- "As you sow, so shall you reap". This is also known
as the "Law of Cause and Effect".
- Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes
back to us.
- If what we want is Happiness, Peace, Love,
Friendship... Then we should BE Happy, Peaceful,
Loving and a True Friend.

2. THE LAW OF CREATION
- Life doesn't just HAPPEN, it requires our participation.
- We are one with the Universe , both inside and out.
- Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner
state.
- BE yourself, and surround yourself with what you
want to have present in your Life.

3. THE LAW OF HUMILITY
- What you refuse to accept, will continue for you.
- If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a
character trait that we find to be negative, then we
ourselves are not focused on a higher level of
existence.

4. THE LAW OF GROWTH
- "Wherever you go, there you are".
- For us to GROW in Spirit, it is we who must change -
and not the people, places or things around us.
- The only given we have in our lives is OURSELVES
and that is the only factor we have control over.
- When we change who and what we are within our
heart our life follows suit and changes too.

5. THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY
- Whenever there is something wrong in my life, there
is something wrong in me.
- We mirror what surrounds us - and what surrounds us
mirrors us; this is a Universal Truth.
- We must take responsibility what is in our life.

6. THE LAW OF CONNECTION
- Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is
very important that it gets done as everything in the
Universe is connected.
- Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so
on.
- Someone must do the initial work to get a job done.
- Neither the first step nor the last are of greater
significance,
- As they were both needed to accomplish the task.
- Past-Present-Future they are all connected...

7. THE LAW OF FOCUS
- You can not think of two things at the same time.
- When our focus is on Spiritual Values, it is impossible
for us to have lower thoughts such as greed or anger.

8. THE LAW OF GIVING AND HOSPITALITY
- If you believe something to be true,then sometime in
your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that
particular truth.
- Here is where we put what we CLAIM that we have
learned, into actual PRACTICE.

9. THE LAW OF HERE AND NOW
- Looking backward to examine what was, prevents us
from being totally in the HERE AND NOW.
- Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams...
- Prevent us from having new ones.

10. THE LAW OF CHANGE
- History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that
we need to change our path.

11. THE LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD
- All Rewards require initial toil.
- Rewards of lasting value require patient and
persistent toil.
- True joy follows doing what we're suppose to be
doing, and waiting for the reward to come in on its
own time.

12. THE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE AND INSPIRATION
- You get back from something whatever YOU have put
into it.
- The true value of something is a direct result of the
energy and intent that is put into it.
- Every personal contribution is also a contribution to
the Whole.
- Lack luster contributions have no impact on the
Whole, nor do they work to diminish it.
- Loving contributions bring life to, and inspire, the
Whole.

PoliticsCrisis Rocks APC As Two Factions Emerge In Gombe by HolyHero(op): 7:23am On Jul 09, 2015
INDICATIONS may have emerged that all may not be
well with Gombe State Chapter of All Progressives
Congress (APC) as a cold war may have ensued
between Senator Muhammad Danjuma Goje faction of
the party and Senator Usman Bayaro Nafada on the
other hand.
A political analyst, Muhammad Umar Gombe, said the
crisis, which had already polarised the party along
loyalty lines, was as a result of the high-handedness
of the gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Inuwa Yahaya,
who went to court to challenge the victory of PDP
and Dankwambo in the last governorship election.
He said: “This rivalry many believe has been in
existence since the founding of APC where members
of the party were not comfortable with the
newcomers whom they claimed had come to take
their place.”
On Monday, July 6, 2015, the Gombe Secretary of the
party, Alhaji Manu Salau Pindiga, announced the
suspension of the state Chairman, Mr. Muhammad
Magaji Doho and 17 others for anti-party activities,
gross misconduct and incompetence.
In another development, about 28 suspects have been
arrested by the Gombe State Police Command in
connection with various degrees of crimes, including
terrorising people, armed robbery, rape and other
crimes.
Speaking with journalists while parading the suspects
in Gombe yesterday, the state Police Public Relations
Officer (PPRO), Fwaje Attajiri, said that the police
command, after embarking on an intelligent lead
policing, was able to unfold many criminal hide-outs,
and had been able to apprehend some of the
suspects at various points within the state capital.
He said that four of the twenty-eight suspects were in
connection to killing of one Mohammed Bunu
Abubakar, who was attacked at Anguwan Idi quarters
in Gombe, saying the attackers inflicted many injuries
on the victim which led to his death.
Attajiri, who warned that people should stay away
from crimes, sought for public co-operation by
remaining vigilant and giving out useful information
to the police, adding that the police would not leave
any stone unturned in ensuring peace and security in
the state.
Meanwhile, the Anglican Diocese of Gombe State has
ordained five priests and four deacons to be deployed
to work in Anglican churches across the state.
Speaking with newsmen in Gombe shortly after the
ordination service, Bishop Henry Ndukuba of the
diocese said the occasion was so important to the
life of the church.
According to him: “They were following what Jesus
Christ himself started. Even though he is God, but he
sought for men to work with Him in spreading the
gospel of God.
“The aim was to enlarge the gospel, as well as
building up people in the faith and word of God, and
today, we are celebrating ministry of the ordained in
the church. It is not the responsibility of the ministers
alone, but the entire followers of Christ.
“But I want you to always remember that you will
never follow a crucified Lord without expecting
trouble.
“Always be ready with your spiritual war-fare, look
unto the lord, never miss your way, he will surely see
you through.”
In his sermon, Guest Speaker, Venerable Esau Saidu
from Anglican Seminary, Wusasa, Zaria, emphasised
on the need for every Christian faithful to bear the
yoke of Christ.
“If you carry the yoke, you will do what you were
unable to do. Do not allowed side attraction to
becloud you”, he said.

PoliticsUntold Story Of The Nigerian Civil War by HolyHero(op): 7:10am On Jul 09, 2015
The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War, 6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970, was an ethnic and political conflict caused by the attempted secession of the southeastern provinces of Nigeria as the self- proclaimed Republic of Biafra. The conflict was the result of economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions mainly between the Hausas of north and the Igbo of the southeast of Nigeria. Over the two and half years of the war, 1 million civilians died from famine and fighting. The war became notorious for the starvation of some of the besieged regions during the war, and consequent claims of genocide by the largely Igbo people of the region. The Nigerian government launched a "police action" to retake the secessionist territory. The war began on 6 July 1967 when Nigerian Federal troops advanced in two columns into Biafra. The Nigerian army offensive was through the north of Biafra led by Colonel Shuwa and the local military units were formed as the 1st Infantry Division. The division was led mostly by northern officers. After facing unexpectedly fierce resistance and high casualties, the right-hand Nigerian column advanced on the town of Nsukka which fell on 14 July, while the left-hand column made for Garkem, which was captured on 12 July. At this stage of the war, the other regions of Nigeria (the West and Mid- West) still considered the war as a confrontation between the north (mainly Hausas) against the east (mainly Igbos).[citation needed] But the Biafrans responded with an offensive of their own when, on 9 August, the Biafran forces moved west into the Mid- Western Nigerian region across the Niger river, passing through Benin City, until they were stopped at Ore (in present day Ondo State) just over the state boundary on 21 August, just 130 miles east of the Nigerian capital of Lagos. The Biafran attack was led by Lt. Col. Banjo, a Yoruba, with the Biafran rank of brigadier. The attack met little resistance and the Mid-West was easily taken over. This was due to the pre-secession arrangement that all soldiers should return to their regions to stop the spate of killings, in which Igbo soldiers had been major victims. The Nigerian soldiers that were supposed to defend the Mid-West state were mostly Mid-West Igbo and while some were in touch with their eastern counterparts, others resisted. General Gowon responded by asking Colonel Murtala Mohammed (who later became head of state in 1975) to form another division (the 2nd Infantry Division) to expel the Biafrans from the Mid-West, as well as defend the West side and attack Biafra from the West as well. As Nigerian forces retook the Mid-West, the Biafran military administrator declared the Republic of Benin on 19 September, though it ceased to exist the next day. (The present country of Benin, west of Nigeria, was still named Dahomey at that time.) Although Benin City was retaken by the Nigerians on 22 September, the Biafrans succeeded in their primary objective by tying down as many Nigerian Federal troops as they could. Gen. Gowon also launched an offensive into Biafra south from the Niger Delta to the riverine area using the bulk of the Lagos Garrison command under Colonel Benjamin Adekunle (called the Black Scorpion) to form the 3rd Infantry Division (which was later renamed as the 3rd Marine Commando). As the war continued, the Nigerian Army recruited amongst a wider area, including the Yoruba, Itshekiri, Urhobo, Edo, Ijaw, and etc. Four battalions of the Nigerian 2nd Infantry Division were needed to drive the Biafrans back and eliminate their territorial gains made during the offensive. Nigerian soldiers under Murtala Mohammed carried out a mass killing of 700 civilians when they captured Asaba on the River Niger. The Nigerians were repulsed three times as they attempted to cross the River Niger during October, resulting in the loss of thousands of troops, dozens of tanks and equipment. The first attempt by the 2nd Infantry Division on 12 October to cross the Niger from the town of Asaba to the Biafran city of Onitsha cost the Nigerian Federal Army over 5,000 soldiers killed, wounded, captured or missing. Operation Tiger Claw (17–20 October 1967) was a military conflict between Nigerian and Biafran military forces. On 17 October 1967 Nigerians invaded Calabar led by the "Black Scorpion", Benjamin Adekunle while the Biafrans were led by Col. Ogbu Ogi, who was responsible for controlling the area between Calabar and Opobo, and Lynn Garrison a foreign mercenary. The Biafrans came under immediate fire from the water and the air. For the next two days Biafran stations and military supplies were bombarded by the Nigerian air force. That same day Lynn Garrison reached Calabar but came under immediate fire by federal troops. By 20 October, Garrison's forces withdrew from the battle while Col. Ogi officially surrendered to Gen. Adekunle. With increased British support the Nigerian federal forces launched their final offensive against the Biafrans once again on 23 December 1969 with a major thrust by the 3rd Marine Commando Division the division was commanded by Col. Olusegun Obasanjo (who later became president twice) which succeeded in splitting the Biafran enclave into two by the end of the year. The final Nigerian offensive, named "Operation Tail-Wind", launched on 7 January 1970 with the 3rd Marine Commando Division attacking, and supported by the 1st Infantry division to the north and the 2nd Infantry division to the south. The Biafran town of Owerri fell on 9 January, and Uli fell on 11 January. Only a few days earlier, Ojukwu fled into exile by flying by plane to the Ivory Coast, leaving his deputy Philip Effiong to handle the details of the surrender to General Yakubu Gowon of the federal army on 13 January 1970. The war finally ended a few days later with the Nigerian forces advancing in the remaining Biafran held territories with little opposition. After the war Gowon said, "The tragic chapter of violence is just ended. We are at the dawn of national reconciliation. Once again we have an opportunity to build a new nation. My dear compatriots, we must pay homage to the fallen, to the heroes who have made the supreme sacrifice that we may be able to build a nation, great in justice, fair trade, and industry.
PoliticsBoko Haram May Resume Talks With FG by HolyHero(op): 6:57am On Jul 09, 2015
ABUJA — Sources close to the leadership of the Boko Haram insurgents have told Vanguard that the group might have agreed to hold talks with the new leadership in Nigeria with the aim of ending the six-year-old insurgency in the country. One of the sources which had been involved in previous attempts to broker peace between the Federal Government and the terrorists group confirmed to Vanguard last night that there were some level of discussions between the group and the government but that the “government does not want to be seen to be negotiating with the terrorists.” The source, who works with an international agency with some presence in Nigeria, said: “I can tell you that there is some behind-the-scene informal discussion with certain segments of the Buhari administration, going on in Nigeria. “But the truth is that the government does not want to be seen to be talking with the group apparently because of the failure of all previous efforts to dialogue with the Boko Haram men in and outside Nigeria under the previous administration. “The aim of the renewed effort is to resuscitate the discussions from where we ended abruptly under the Jonathan administration and take it forward from there since there is a new government in place in Nigeria. “The true position is that some of those with contacts with the leadership of the Boko Haram have gone back to assure them that there is a new government in place and that things can be done differently from what it was in the past when they were dribbled over and over again by top government officials who wanted to make quick gains under the guise of negotiating with the militants.” The source said the militant leaders had been assured that the Buhari government was more open and ready to negotiate with them. “Indeed, we have begun the peace process from the Boko Haram side and that may signal a new hope for the release of the missing Chibok girls,” the source said. It will be recalled that the Presidency had hinted last week that it might negotiate with the dreaded Boko Haram leadership in order to end the cycle of violence that has wreaked havoc in Nigeria in the last six years. Presidential spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, who gave the hint, did not, however, give a timeline when the negotiation would start and who the government intended to deal with in carrying out the assignment. Boko Haram is said to be offering to free more than 200 young women and girls kidnapped from a boarding school in the town of Chibok in exchange for the release of militant leaders held by the government. An Associated Press quoted an unnamed activist as saying that Boko Haram’s current offer is limited to the Chibok girls who were taken in April 2014. “The new initiative reopens an offer made last year to the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan to release the 219 students in exchange for 16 Boko Haram detainees,” the activist said. He said the five-week-old administration of President Muhammadu Buhari offers “a clean slate” to bring the militants back to negotiations that had become poisoned by the different security agencies and their advice to Jonathan.

PoliticsFayose Instals Adu As Ikere-ekiti Monarch by HolyHero(op): 7:03am On Jul 07, 2015
EKITI State Governor Ayodele Fayose yesterday
presented staff of office to the new Ogoga of Ikere-
Ekiti, Oba Adejimi Samuel Adu. The development put
an end to six months of intense battle to the royal
stool that caused tension in the ancient town, which
became vacant following the death of Oba Samuel
Adegboye of the Akaiyejo ruling House on August 22,
2014.
Adu, a retired Captain from Exxon Mobile, contested
with five others, but both Ifa Oracle and election
conducted among 14 kingmakers of the town
favoured his candidacy.
Presenting the instruments to the new Ogoga, Fayose
said: “This presentation comes up today after
painstakingly considering all that were necessary. I
have severally called the stakeholders together to
discuss the issue, particularly the crisis the selection
of Adu had generated. “I would rather do those things
that would add value to Ikere-Ekiti, the second largest
town in the state, rather than those things that would
promote crisis or add to the people’s burdens.”
The governor, however, urged the new monarch to be
magnanimous in victory, advising him to reach out to
the aggrieved parties for lasting peace in the town
and for his reign to be blissful. In his acceptance
speech, Oba Adu lamented the fierce battle that had
always accompanied ascendancy onto traditional
thrones in Yorubaland in recent time, describing the
scenario as very unfortunate.
“Let me commend the kingmakers for their
thoroughness and transparency in the selection
process. This will make the process of reconciliation
very easy. “I want to say sincerely that I am
committed to the service of Ikere community. I will
pursue the unity of the town with a sincere heart
because I know that there can’t be progress where
there is no unity.”
PoliticsNigerian Army @ 152 by HolyHero(op): 6:53am On Jul 07, 2015
EVERY July 6th has always been marked as the
Nigerian Army Day. The day has historical
significance because it marks a turning point in the
history of the Nigerian Army annually.
Many would wonder why celebrating when the nation
is at a war with one of the most barbaric terrorist
groups known in human history, the Boko Haram
Terrorists (BHT) for almost five years with no end in
sight. Indeed, the Army and of course all Nigerians,
have cause to rejoice and celebrate the Nigerian Army
for its longevity and accomplishments especially given
its recent success in the fight against terrorism and
insurgency in the country.
The Nigerian Army has undergone a lot within the last
one year, the fight against insurgency, vilification by
some sections of the public, media and most
unfortunately; the Amnesty International. However, it
was able to wither the storm.
It remains ever strong, a bastion of national security
and rallying point of national unity. Within the last
one year, the army has accomplished so much in the
areas of training, procurement and administration that
helped in turning the tide against the terrorists. It
now has a new aviation wing and established a
command and control centre at the epicentre of the
theatre of operations.
Sometime ago, some officers and soldiers of the
Nigerian Army took to their heels at the sight of
approaching terrorists, but today, it is the soldiers
that chase the insurgents.
The show of solidarity, support and understanding of
Nigerians at the most trying moments of the Nigerian
Army is worth celebrating. So many detractors have
tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to tarnish the name and
reputation of the Nigerian Army, among whom were
highly placed personalities and retired senior military
officers.
But the encouraging resolve of Nigerians to be solidly
behind the Nigerian Army is heartwarming. They were
able to recapture and dominate all the territories
hitherto held by Boko Haram terrorists. These include
Baga, Gwoza, Bama, Monguno, Dikwa, Michika, Mubi
and Baga amongst others.
The Nigerian Army has made tremendous sacrifices to
ensure the safety of lives and properties of Nigerians
and defence of the nation’s territorial integrity.
We have lost so many officers and men in the course
of securing our great nation from the terrorists,
criminals such as illegal oil bunkerers, kidnappers and
armed robbers. Brief History of the Nigerian Army The
history of the Nigerian Army could be traced to as far
back as 1863 when Lieutenant Glover assembled
mostly northern able-bodied men to protect the Royal
Niger Company, which was referred to as the “Glover
Hausas”. Since then, the Army has undergone
transformation in nomenclature, grown in size and
weaponry.
Today, it is embarking on Army Aviation and boasts
of modern and sophisticated weapons and training
instructions that not only train its men and officers
but civilians alike, thus contributing to knowledge and
national development. Significance of Nigerian Army
Day Celebration There is a saying that in a life of a
man, there is a time to be born and a time to die.
The first is far more significant to this discuss.
Although there is no exact date when Lieutenant
Glover formed his Glover’s Hausas, July 6th of every
year came to be adopted because it marked the day
when the Nigerian civil war began in 1967.
It was on record that the first shot was fired on July
6, 1967 at Ugep in present Cross River State. Why it
is worth celebrating; Achievements or significant
milestones within the last one year The Nigerian Army
has achieved a lot over its long period of existence,
most importantly, within the last one year.
Why the celebration is low-keyed and why part of it
will be done in Maiduguri/North East. The Nigerian
Army, conscious of its commitment to its
constitutional duties especially as regards to the
defence of the territorial integrity of our dear nation,
could not afford flamboyant celebration, as was the
case in the past.
This year’s celebration is solemn based on the
commitment to the successful conclusion of the fight
against Boko Haram terrorists and recognition of the
sacrifice of our officers and soldiers and honouring of
our departed colleagues who paid the supreme
sacrifice in the defence of our country.
Part of the activities marking this year’s NADCEL is
visit to and special prayer at the military cemetery in
Maiduguri. This is significant, as apart from the
prayers, it goes a long way to show the bond
between those that paid the supreme sacrifice in
Operation Zaman Lafiya and their colleagues.
Similarly, those most deserving would also be
presented with medals for their bravery and
perseverance. What is expected of the Army and what
is its expectation from the public or Nigerians We are
really conscious of our constitutional duties and the
high expectations of Nigerians.
Therefore, the Nigerian Army more than ever before is
determined to destroy Boko Haram terrorists’ camps,
enclaves and wherever they might be.
However, we also need continued support, prayers
and understanding of the public. Nigerians should see
the fight against terrorism and insurgency as a
collective responsibility. We owe it a duty to support
and encourage the army to enable it succeed.
