d last one got my ribs cracking. I swear, dis guy gat swag.

The former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha said that Nigeria can gain greater grounds in surmounting the Boko Haram insurgency when counter -insurgency efforts and gains are not put out to the public as is currently the case.

Major Al-Mustpha, who visited a victim of the last bomb blast in Nyanya, Abuja currently receiving free treatment at a private hospital in Garki-Abuja, said every Nigerian citizen must contribute in every little way towards restoring peace and safety in Nigeria.

The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Christopher Otabor, said their gesture towards the bomb blast victim, who was a petty trader until the blast, is to encourage Nigerians to contribute towards solving the problem rather than just talking about it.

Drama Queen

Nigeria has deployed 50 volunteers of the Technical Aid Corps (TAC) to the Islamic University of Uganda where they will lecture until 2016.
Addressing the volunteers at the pre-departure ceremony in Abuja, the Director General of TAC, Prof. Pius Osunyikanmi said the delegation is part of about 1,500 volunteers to be deployed to 15 countries this year.

“One major aspects of Nigeria’s foreign policy is the Technical Aid Corps with the objective of providing technical know-how and manpower assistance to African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. TAC was given birth to with the view to leveraging on the abundant human and material resources in the country using it as a platform to providing technical know-how to needy ACP countries.

“We have a total of 50 of you that will be departing for a single University in Uganda. You will be going there to render services as University lecturers. You are the second batch that will be posted in the last one month. Other batches going to Namibia, Rwanda, Burundi, and others will follow in due course. In all, we would be deploying about 1,500 within the next three months”, Osunyikanmi said.

He explained that President Goodluck Jonathan gave a charge that the recruitment process should be 100 per cent merit-driven and the Directorate’s frontiers should be expanded to cover more countries.

Osunyikanmi assured the Volunteers that Nigeria would stand by them adding, “Uganda is desirous of your services and you cannot afford to give less than what they desire of you. Discipline should be your watchword; you are carrying the Nigerian flag and you must be able to do Nigeria proud.

Ensure that you market and project Nigeria in its proper perspective. Let them know that indeed Nigeria is a country that is peaceful, progressive and developing. Let everybody who cares know that Nigeria is stable, progressive and that we are on an irreversible course in our journey to development”, he said.

The Corps is a federal department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was established in 1987 to leverage on the abundant human and material resources in the country using it as a platform to providing technical know-how to needy countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific States.
Prof. Osunyikanmi urged the volunteers to be disciplined and be good ambassadors of Nigeria.

Mogidi: It would do Buhari a world of good to read one book a year, it would greatly increase his lexicon.

In public or private Buhari's always speaking Hausa.

BTW there's nothing wrong with speaking Hausa, except you want to rule Nigeria, in which case you're expected to communicate reasonably in English.

Buhari na `Ba Turenchi`

OP, you don't post topics like this without pictures! r u a learner?

This nuisant noise maker should be shot.! Period.!!

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has warned that if the South East goes ahead to issue identity cards to northerners living in the region, the Igbos in the north would be given equal treatment.

Deputy Secretary-General of the forum, Alhaji Abubakar Umar, in a statement issued in Kaduna on Friday, July 18, stressed that if the north should embark on similar exercise by identifying the Igbos in the northern region, it could cause crisis that may lead to undeserved division among Nigerians on ethnic or religious consideration.

“If the Eastern part of the country insists on issuing identity cards to persons of northern extraction in their region, such move could endanger the multi-billion naira investments of the Igbo businessmen living in the north”, he said.

While noting that there was nothing wrong with issuing identity cards to people, the ACF Deputy Secretary General however, maintained that it was wrong to single out a section of a community as a target.

He said available statistics indicate that Igbo investments in Kaduna, Kano, and Jos alone amounted to over N45 trillion, pointing out that “with such huge investments in just three states of the north, the Easterners have no reason to maltreat northerners doing businesses in their areas”.

APC Frowns At Alleged Registration

The South East chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had called on the governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, to rescind “the unconstitutional and undemocratic plan to issue identity cards to northerners in Imo State”.

The directive, contained in a statement by the party’s zonal spokesman, Osita Okechukwu, noted that “ whereas we condemn the devilish and heinous atrocities of the deranged Boko Haram elements; we are of the candid view that the Boko Haram elements are not playing a northern script, as their agenda is more or less opaque and futile.

“We cannot easily forget that Boko Haram killed General Mohammed Shuwa, uncountable Northerners and nearly assassinated the Shehu of Borno” alleging that “reports indicate that the Emir of Kano did not recover fully from the trauma he suffered in their hands before his death”.

The party warned that “any attempt to segregate Nigerians like in Nazi Germany will be the greatest disservice to our dear country and to do so will either by omission or commission be playing into the hands of Boko Haram insurgents.

“To us the unity, stability and harmonious relationship of Nigerian citizens is paramount and fundamental, accordingly, we do not subscribe to the day Ndigbo residing in other parts of the country will be subjected to screening and carrying identity cards in our beloved country”, he said.

APC South East maintains that the only way to crush Boko Haram insurgents is a well-equipped Army, security agencies, vigilantes and improved welfare of the citizenry that engender hope, trust and confidence.

Registration Rumour A Manifestation Of Dirty Politics

However, the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has denied any form of registration, especially for the Hausa Community in the state, describing the rumour as a manifestation of “Dirty Politics Chapter 1 Verse 1”.

The Governor, who berated the Senate for discussing the issue, explained that the said registration came to him as a surprise. He argued that “you just don’t talk on something that doesn’t exist” insisting that “there is nothing of that sort”.

FIFA will not be suspending Nigeria
any time soon as the condition
required for the lifting of the
temporary suspension on the country
was fulfilled on Wednesday.
The court in Jos that pronounced the
current Nigeria Football Federation
board null and void has vacate the
notice and made for the dissolution
of the board has been
quashed. Justice Lot vacated the
order restraining Aminu Maigari, NFF
president from running Nigeria
football.
FIFA had demanded that all court
cases must be withdrawn and it
seems that the Federal Government
prevailed on Mrs Rumson Baribote,
the instigator of the court case, to
withdraw the suit so that the
deadline of July 17 (today) given by
FIFA would not expire.
It is now expected that Maigari and
his board will return to office today
until at least August 28, when the
general congress of the NFF will meet
and new elections will be held.

@op, u r a Sadist!

We have decided that Nigerians wishing to visit India for any purpose should personally visit our website to make their applications.”

The new Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ghanashyam Rangaiah, on Tuesday, announced new measures that would enable Nigerians obtain visas to India with ease.

Mr. Rangaiah told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that the commission was working hard at making Nigerians to personally visit its website to make their applications for visa.

He, therefore, urged Nigerians to desist from patronising agents and visa racketeers.

“We have decided that Nigerians wishing to visit India for any purpose should personally visit our website to make their applications.

“We now want such applicants to personally, after applying through our website, come directly to the High Commission, without having to use agents or touts. We no longer want Nigerians to wait for any facilitator or pay heavily to agents before getting visas to India,’’ he said.

Mr. Rangaiah also said that the commission would henceforth require Nigerian students offered admissions in Indian Colleges and Universities to present original copies of their admission letters, before being issued visas.

The High Commissioner said that the aim was to detect some young Nigerians who use such falsified admission letters to get into India for “different things.’’

“Their admission letters have to now come to the High Commission directly from the Indian colleges and universities. That way, we will be able to detect any forged document from anybody seeking visa to India,” he added.

Very funny politicians

Aksonman: NIGERIANS, ABUBAKAR SHEKAU IS DEAD.

The international community must,right now be laughing at Nigerians for their lack of investigative prowess. You can't blame them since we(Nigerians) like the rest of the world still believe that Osama Bin Laden was killed last year or so by the USA and buried at sea.

My dear Nairalanders,after a series of personal eagle-eyed investigations and analysis of recent events,I can authoritatively confirm to you all that ABUBAKAR SHEKAU IS DEAD and buried.

However,we can't celebrate because the man currently fronting as Shekau is twice as deadly and brutal-he has to be so as to convince their members, financiers, sponsors and the rest of the world that Shekau is still alive. If Boko Haram ever admits that Abubakar Shekau is dead,most of their sources of income will dry out. Also,most of the lieutenants that would have naturally replaced Shekau have been killed by Nigerian government forces.

This Shekau impostor is most likely a sibling or close relation of the late Abubakar Shekau,that explains the resemblance. We cannot also rule out the possibility of make-up artistes being smuggled in from the Chad or (AFP) to touch up this impostor and make him look more like Shekau before shooting any video. This may explain the length of time it takes before a 'Shekau' video is released.

Please study the graphic presentation below,after which you can now watch the two video links below and make your own deductions.

Can you educate me on the true story of the embolden in red. Thanks

Is'nt this what our house of asembly should protect us against? Alas! they have been compromised & the general well being of the common Nigerian is not their concern. Pathetic!

so banks dey pay like this? Hmmm!

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has called for an international inquiry into the activities of the terror group Boko Haram in order to unravel its sponsors, mode of operation, as well as any individual or group that may have links with the insurgents.

The party said only such an inquiry will end, once and for all, the debate over who is behind the insurgency and also to facilitate efforts to tackle it decisively. In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said the inquiry should include intelligence experts from the United States, United Kingdom, France and Canada, as well as representatives of the United Nations and Nigeria’s neighbours Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

It also said that representatives of the Nigerian military and other security agencies, especially the police and the Departments of State Security, governments of the states worst-hit by the Boko Haram insurgency, including Adamawa, Borno, Yobe, Kano, Bauchi and Jigawa, the Federal Capital Territory, the Christian Association of Nigeria, the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Civil Society Organisations, the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress, National Human Rights Commission, the Nigerian Bar Association and any other relevant individuals or groups should be included in the probe.

APC also said major political parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and itself, must be represented on the panel of inquiry, whose findings must be made public and those found to have any links with the insurgents made to face the full wrath of the law.

”We hope the PDP-led federal government, which has led the incessant but baseless campaign to point accusing fingers at the opposition, especially our party the APC, will give its total support to the immediate constitution of this international panel of inquiry.

We have no doubt that the international community will give its unalloyed support to this inquiry, in view of the trans-national nature of the insurgency and the threat posed by terrorism to global peace and security,” the party said.

APC added: ”On our part, we pledge our total support for this inquiry anytime it is launched, but hopefully very soon. Our party, which is barely one year old, has been at the receiving end of diversionary, carefully-choreographed and blatantly irresponsible point-blank accusations as well as insinuations of sponsoring Boko Haram, not minding that the group’s activities date as far back as 2002 when there was no APC.

”These accusations and insinuations have become so virulent and have indeed reached a level where one begins to wonder whether those behind the finger-pointing are actually trying to divert attention from their own culpability and whether they have even more sinister motives for their finger-pointing.

“Whatever their motives are, let the international inquiry we are seeking be launched urgently and let the findings be published for all Nigerians to see. Anyone opposed to this call for an international inquiry will have a lot of explanations to make to Nigerians as well as to the international community.

“Enough is enough. The daily killing, maiming and abduction of innocent Nigerians, as a clueless Federal Government looks on, must end. The pervasive insecurity that has crippled Nigeria since this insurgency started must be halted. Those behind it must be unravelled and prosecuted.

Let the inquiry begin!”
