ibedun:
A house belonging to former Governor and now
Minister for Youth Development, Mr. Boni Haruna
was yesterday, confirmed to have been destroyed
by the Boko Haram insurgents who wrecked havoc
at his country home in Michika Local Government,
Adamawa State.
The towns which were allegedly attacked by the
insurgents included Kuburshosho, where the
minister hails from as well as Garta.
A resident of Garta, who identified himself as
Joseph said the insurgents arrived his village
about 6 am yesterday and looted people’s homes
and shops before setting them on fire.
“They burnt most of the shops and houses after
looting them. People had to climb the nearby
mountains to save their lives.
“For now, I can’t say the number of casualties as
we are still in the bush from where we have just
learnt that the attackers had left.”
“They told us that the insurgents attacked
Kuburshosho village where they burnt the family
house of former Governor of the state and current
Minister of Youth Development, Boni Haruna,”
Joseph said.
However, it was learnt that attempts by the
insurgents to enter Kamale village were thwarted
due to the River Kamale which was now
overflowing due to the recent downpour in the
area.
Meanwhile, no fewer than 10,000 Higgi people of
Michika Local Government Area are now said to be
living as refugees in Yola, the state capital while
Michika and other towns in the local government
having deserted their houses.
A pressure group under the aegis of Higgi People’s
Initiative Organization said this, adding that they
were ‘’crying out so that the whole world will be
aware of their plight following the attack by Boko
Haram.’’
Addressing a news conference at the NUJ Press
Centre yesterday in Yola, the Spokesperson for the
group, Mr David Barau explained that the
wreckage and destruction of their local
government led to the death of hundreds of the
Higgis.
Barau, a one-time deputy governor of the state
said, “there are today more than 10,000 Higgi
people living as refugees in Yola and its environs,
while Michika and all other towns in the local
government area have become ghost towns.
“We would like to draw attention to a part of the
1999 Constitution pertinent to our outcry. In
chapter 11 (14)(2b) of the First Schedule of the
constitution it is clearly stated that the security
and welfare of the people shall be the primary
purpose of government.
“But it can be explained by the fact that the Higgi
are now in Diaspora and are generally guided by
the principle of being their brother’s keeper. Thus,
it is common to find one home hosting 60-100
people in Yola today. Needless to add that both the
refugees and their hosts are in very unpleasant and
difficult conditions,to put it mildly,” he added
Jona-DAFT you hear?

UnknownT: Ok! After he sold us the Olushola dummy, he has reverted to the known names and turned it to O

redsun: They will soon turn Lagos to Bornu or kano. Yeye people that seems to progress only backward

Balkan: OJUKWU was a hero. the whole world knows that. the government of Nigeria was so scared of Ojukwu that they rigged him out each time he contested election. The fear of Ojukwu was enormous

oneeast3: Ibadam I know is a total mess. They should start by building decent homes for its people than building unnecessary non patronized malls in ibadan. Are you proud of the aerial view of the city of ibadan below? If I am to be from ibadan I will not be proud to say am from there. Now I know why 99.9% of yolobass are from Lagos..

tonychristopher: Superb analysis I love the way you killed it for the monkey bro but on a lighter note you don't use regime and democracy together
Regime is basically associated with military and dictatorship posibbly fascist
Democracy you can use Admin maybe dispensation or time
But thanks for your analysis
.we are on same page here
.saying the truth in unvarnished and pure state

samplegirl: If there is anybody around here who should use his brain I believe it is you becuase people with low mentality like you are always misled with coined English.
Now take this, the last time I checked the meaning of REVOLUTION my dictionary it told me that it is to overthrow a ruler or political system. But there is a word there one need to observe closely. The word OVERTHROW. I serached futher my same dictionary told me that it is to REMOVE A PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM POSITION OF POWER BY FORCE. That is when I know that the word revolution is not democratic.
No matter how the word is used as it relates to government it means the same thing but few gullibles will be decieved by the crafty polishing by people with hidden agenda. I know you don't know this much but I don't blame you as no one has the monopoly of knowledge.
Before I go, let me quickly inform you that there is no where in the world where revolution has taken place in the ballot booth. What happens when a government is voted out is not revolution but democratic regime change. But what happened in Algeria,Egypt Libya and so on is revolution. If that is what your man wants, fine, but I mantain he will be in the front row with all the members of his family.

ibedun: [size=18pt]WHAT HAVE THESE IGBO REFUGEES (HIDING IN YORUBA LAND INSTEAD OF DEVELOPING THEIR ANCESTRAL LAND) GOT AGAINST OUR TRUE SON AND LEADERS TINUBU AND FASHOLA?
WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM?
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE EDUCATE ME IF THERE IS SOMETHING I AM MISSING.[/size]

Systeme101: mega city in wat sense? That money cant construct 3 world class projects let alone building a city

quinnboy: Waste of money....can't they use that money for industrializing the state? Eh?

dexmundo: nearly all yoruba have pride in their blood. However, we are no longer living in the 1970's where niger delta resources are used by awolowo or gowon to to develop lagos, ekiti, and the entire south west. If you live in the south west and have never come out, dont boast. I have travelled the south western states. There is no state in south west apart from lagos that has the level of massive development in the south south states of delta, rivers, akwa ibom or cross river. I know that part of ogun state is benefitting from lagos expansion. But dont live in a fool's paradise trying to always lay claims to superiority when ideally your reasonings are inferior. Stop propagating sentiments and tribal superiority claims
