[b]. . . . . . .first off, I am not a PDP goon, imp or minion . . . . . . . . . . .but the recent appointment of a new NSA by Buhari has really got me thinking; was Monguno the best in the pack? what were the reasons for his appointment? has Buhari been wrongly advised? . . . . . . . . .I might never know the yardsticks used for his appointment, but what I do know is that Monguno has a lot of baggage!!!

How many remember the self acclaimed Boko haram co-founder Ali Tishau? how many remember the controversies surrounding his release from DIA custody on the orders of the then CDI, Gen Babagana Monguno? well to recap;

Ali Tishau a boko haram suspect (and self acclaimed co-founder of the group) was arrested by the police in December 2010, he was interrogated and arraigned before an Abuja magistrate court but was granted bail . . . . . . . . . . . .the police knowing the big fish they had, re-arraigned him before the FCT high court where he was again granted bail!!! . . . . . . . . . . . .for security reasons, police re-arrested him for further prosecution.

On the 27th of june 2011, the then CDI (Gen Babagana Monguno) requested that the police hand over the suspect to the defence intelligence agency, the then IGP obliged Moguno with the understanding that the suspect will be returned to the police after DIA interrogation, this was never to be . . . . . . . . . . . . .Tishau miraculously vanished from detention . . . . . . . . . . accusing fingers were pointed at Monguno!!!

. . . . . . .after inconclusive investigations by the presidency, Moguno was transferred from the DIA . . . . . . . . . . . . .now I don't know the outcome of those investigations, but I do know that with this kind of controversy, Monguno should have been the last man considered for the post of NSA . . . . . . . . .but then again, I am not privy to the information at the disposal of our good President.

( 4 ) THE RWANDAN CIVIL WAR
The Rwandan Genocide was a genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority. During the approximate 100-day period from April 7, 1994, to mid-July, an estimated 500,000–1,000,000 Rwandans were killed by machete - wielding Hutu militias constituting as much as 20% of the country's total population and 70% of the Tutsi then living in Rwanda.

The genocide was planned by members of the core political elite known as the akazu and is considered as one of the most notorious conflicts of 20th century.



(3 ) Somali Civil War 1991-ongoing
Somalia is not only populated by Somalis; it’s actually home to a number of different peoples, several of which opposed Siad Barre, the Dictator of Somalia, in the late 1980s. In response, he began attacking them with his army—but they fought back and removed him from power.
Barre was still popular with many Somalis, however, and a revolution took place in the early 1990s to reinstate him. After his return to power, a large part of northern Somalia declared itself independent from the rest of the country, though it remains largely unrecognized.
After years of war, Somalia lies in ruins—and the UN continues to send peacekeeping forces to facilitate the distribution of aid and the rebuilding of Somalia’s society. It’s unofficially estimated that nearly a million of people lost their lives from war-related causes.

( 2) Nigerian Civil War 1967-1970

The Nigerian Civil War, also known as Nigerian-Biafran War, was the result of economic, ethnic, cultural, and religious tensions among the various peoples of Nigeria. Like many other African nations, Nigeria was an artificial construct of imperialism—in this case created by the British, who had neglected and never cared to consider religious, linguistic, and ethnic differences when they drew up the borders of the new country.

The civil war began on July 6, 1967, when Nigerian Federal troops advanced in two columns into Biafra. Nigeria, which won independence from Britain in 1960, had at that time a population of sixty million people consisting of nearly three hundred different ethnic and cultural groups. The war cost Nigeria a great deal in terms of lives, money, and its standing in the world. It has been estimated that up to three million people mainly Ibos may have died due to the conflict—mostly from hunger and disease. It was one of the bloodiest civil wars of the last few decades.



(1) THE SECOND CONGO WAR.

The Second Congo War (also known as the Great War of Africa or the Great African War, and sometimes referred to as the African World War) began in August 1998, little more than a year after the First Congo War and involving some of the same issues, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and officially ended in July 2003 when the Transitional Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo took power.

The deadliest war in modern African history, Congo is bigger than present day western europe and this war directly involved nine African countries, as well as approximately 20 separate armed groups just for control of central power and resources . By 2008, the war and its aftermath had caused 5.4 million deaths, principally through disease and starvation, making the Second Congo War the deadliest conflict worldwide since World War II. Millions more were displaced from their homes or sought asylum in neighbouring countries.

Despite a formal end to the war in July 2003 and an agreement by the former belligerents to create a government of national unity, 1,000 people died daily in 2004 from easily preventable cases of malnutrition and disease.

Below are the 8 wars in accordance that shaped Africa today

( 8 ) The Sierra Leone Civil War (1991–2002) began on 23 March 1991 when the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), with support from the special forces of Charles Taylor’s National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL), intervened in Sierra Leone in an attempt to overthrow the Joseph Momoh government.

Diamonds played a central role in this war and were used by the RUF to purchase arms and mercenary from Charles Taylor , this war is particularly known for the large number of child soldiers and widespread amputation of civilians and left over 50,000 dead.



( 7) THE LIBERIA CIVIL WAR 1999
The Second Liberian Civil War began in 1999 when a rebel group backed by the government of neighbouring Guinea, the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD), emerged in northern Liberia. In early 2003, a second rebel group, the Movement for Democracy in Liberia, emerged in the south, and by June–July 2003, Charles Taylor's government controlled only a third of the country.

The capital Monrovia was besieged by LURD, and the group's shelling of the city resulted in the deaths of many civilians. Thousands of people were displaced from their homes before ECOMOG backed heavily by the Nigeria government intervane.


(6) Sudan - Dafur war
The War in Darfur is a major armed conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan, that began in February 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) and Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) rebel groups began fighting the government of Sudan, which they accused of oppressing Darfur's non-Arab population.

The government responded to attacks by carrying out a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Darfur's non-Arabs. This resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians and the indictment of Sudan's president Omar al-Bashir for genocide and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court.

This war claimed about 200000 lives and displaced nearly 2 million people in the disputes between two groups fighting over the control of oil revenues.


(5 ) Angolan Civil War 1975-2002
The people of Angola fought bravely against occupation and tyranny to gain their independence from imperialist rulers. Unfortunately, right after Angola became a free nation, the local authorities and political wings lusted after power over the newly formed country. Civil war seemed to be inevitable.
The chief cause of this war, in the end, was a power struggle between the popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), and the National Union for Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). It was one of the bloodiest and most prolonged civil wars of modern history, lasting for nearly twenty-seven years.
The war began immediately after Angola became independent from Portugal in 1975, and finally ended only when Jonas Savimbi, leader of UNITA, was killed by government troops in 2002. The two sides then agreed to a ceasefire, soon to be followed by elections. The war left at least 500,000 people dead, and an economy in ruins.

DTaj:
Stupid man/woman stop spreading dumb falsehood and read the papers dispassionately. The following APC governorship election candidates called and congratulated PDP winners in the following states: Gombe, Cross-River, Enugu, Ebonyi...It was reported in the newspapers!

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
From the look of things Alex Otti can't win this election.

No matter how many times you re-conduct the elections in Obingwa, Osisioma, Ugwunagbo and remaining Isiala-Ngwa, Okezie Ikpeazu has their sympathy.

With Nkechi Nworgu and Abaribe's political structures of Otu onu, the margin Alex Otti is leading is just not going to win this election for him.

No matter who wins, let them not burn the State but respect the wishes of the majority and use the court.
