My trojan has no different signatures because its on virustotal and its an old part of my junk which i havent don any encryption on ... changing the alg and asm ... so it should detect thats why i said so

SamIkenna:
That's because your trojan has a different signature.

Writing a virus and its antidote (ant-virus) is more like crafting a screw and screwdriver. The real ingenuity is in crafting a screwdriver that fits all screws, or at the very least, fits over 95% of all known screws.

I'm happy that, at least, the Uniben guy is showing some promise. However, what's shocking is the degree to which a good chunk of NLers and Nigerians almost immediately went into celebratory mode over the said 'Ultimate Anti-Virus.'

In fact, if you've written a device driver or any program that handles interrupts/exceptions then you have actually written a virus - but that's a matter for a different day.

At any rate, I wish the guy luck. At least he's far better than a CS grad student in one of the so-called prestigious universities in Nigeria who told me he's never coded a line in his life, yet he holds a Baccalaureate degree in CS and about to bag masters in same discipline from same institution.

From what he said shows he is a computer novice ... No computer is secured and you can be hacked from any from web application to network... and you don't bring IP classes into Hacking ... its quite different from whats in place here if they claim there poll is hacked .. which is true or it is not but with his explanation ... from a IT Security point of view is Jargon in Jargon out... No computer is secured only when it is turned off... even as Nairaland can be hacked

EXPOSED: AIT Caught Pants Down After Accusing Buhari Supporters of Hacking Its Online Poll

The Africa Independent Television (AIT), has been caught pants down in an attempt to smear the image of the presidential candidate f the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, which has become a stock in trade for many individuals, groups and organisations sympathetic to the cause of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Television station had few days ago organised an online poll between the Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), President Goodluck Jonathan and that of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari on who Nigerians prefer as their president.

But just a day after the poll went online, AIT being the organiser pull down the poll after Buhari assumed an unprecedented lead over president Jonathan, claiming the site is undergoing maintenance.

Buhari’s lead in notwithstanding a documentary which has been aired constantly on the television platform with the clear intent of tarnishing the image of the former Head of State.

The decision of the TV station to pull down the poll did not go down well with most Nigerians who criticised AIT for its bias on Buhari. Scores of people lambasted the station for deliberately playing out the script of the presidency and the PDP.

But in order to justify her decision to pull down the poll website where Buhari was clearly in the lead, AIT released a press statement claiming the poll was hacked by supporters of Buhari with the use of a software to vote several times in favour of Buhari.

In the statement widely circulated to media houses, AIT claimed an integrity test conducted on the result of the poll showed that 30 unidentified unique IP addresses voted a total of 4969 in favour of Buhari, suggesting that the process was hacked and rigged.

Not satisfied with the claim by AIT however, ICT expert and Executive Director of Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN), Gbenga Sesan went to work and discovered that AIT did nit only lied in the press statement, but also deliberately manioulated the CSV file which contained the IP addresses where voters who participated in the polling are found.

According to Mr. Sesan, though the AIT tried to edit the CSV file so as to prove their point that the poll was hacked, they failed in putting the numbers together which ended up exposing them.

Incidentally, this is about the second time a similar but deliberate falsification from the Jonathan camp would be exposed.

In early 2014, a presidential aide sent a mail with an alias attempting to indict former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi Lamido Sanusi who is now the emir of Kano as the sponsor of Boko Haram.

Sanusi at that time exposed the $20 billion said to be missing from the account of the Nigerian Nationa Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

See below Mr. Sesan’s finding as he revealed via his twitter handle.

1. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are number labels assigned to devices within a network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication

'Gbénga Sèsan @gbengasesan · 2h 2 hours ago
2. Internet Protocol designers used 32-bit number. IP protocol version 4 (IPv4) is limited because it’s only from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255

'Gbénga Sèsan @gbengasesan · 2h 2 hours ago
3. That basically means IP version 4 only has 4,294,967,295 IP addresses. That explains why IP version 6 (128-bit numbers) is now being used

'Gbénga Sèsan @gbengasesan · 2h 2 hours ago
4. Long numbers can be confusing. So, IP addresses use dotted-decimal format: 4 numbers separated by periods. Something like 192.168.123.132

'Gbénga Sèsan @gbengasesan · 2h 2 hours ago
5. If geeks don’t want to be nice, they’d leave easy IP address 192.168.123.132 as 32 bit number. That’d be 11000000101010000111101110000100

19. Ladies and gentlemen, look at the IP addresses again. What did you notice? Exactly. 82.145.210.258 to 82.145.210.293. 258 and 293? AIT?!

'Gbénga Sèsan @gbengasesan · 2h 2 hours ago
20. The folly went all the way to 82.145.210.570. First, 82.anything isn’t geographically in Nigeria. It’s in Europe. AIT says NIG. Error 1

'Gbénga Sèsan @gbengasesan · 2h 2 hours ago
21. The biggest error is that anything above 255 is not a valid dotted-decimal number. Remember, highest binary is 11111111. That’s 255.

22. Ladies and gentlemen, AIT messed up! Big time. If you would fabricate lies, don’t be lazy like the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

'Gbénga Sèsan @gbengasesan · 2h 2 hours ago
23. AIT fabricated IP addresses that don’t exist to prove that APC rigged their poll. Shame on you, AIT. I dare you to disprove these tweets

'Gbénga Sèsan @gbengasesan · 2h 2 hours ago

This is a very very sad day for Jonathanians. The General has been vindicated!

This goes to show that having a PhD does not mean you are intelligent. They spread lies about the General and now they have been put to shame.

Some PDP are even questioning the authenticity of the released WASC from his secondary school. What they forget is that all WASC results in those days are placed in a repository in Cambridge and Oxford.

Sai Buhari, we cant wait for Febuhari

I can prove that this is Photoshopped!! I am no politician or support of GEJ or GMB but some simple facts with what you have here on your post , for the fact that i know if you go out to look for a job and use a fake waec , you will be arrested or disqualified


AND SO, BUHARI ''CERTIFICATE'' SURFACED BUT........

Do you notice that there's no signature dating back to 1961, the year Buhari was claimed to have secured this certification? The two signatures at the bottom of the ''letter'' are dated today's date 21/01/2015. If it's the true copy of the certificate Buhari secured in 1961, shouldn't we have a signature dating back to 1961?

Look at the top left corner, Buhari was said to be in Class 6, someone that started secondary education in 1956 will be in Class 5 by 1961 and not Class 6.

Look at the top middle under the STATEMENT OF RESULT, you'll notice that ''NECO'' was crossed out, were they sitting for NECO in 1961? And, what about SSCE IN 1961?

LOL.........

200 million MUMU!!!

Could we get the police to arrest these guys please

WHY JONATHAN CANT WIN IN 2015
1. He has maligned the core north of Hausa and Fulani labelling them as power hungry. I can see 90% of them voting for APC.

2. He and his cronies have castigated all muslims in Nigeria and enveloped them as blood sucking terrorists. Meanwhile roughly half of the country is Muslim. I see 95% of of them voting for APC.

3. He and his followers then decided to become dumbasses of the century by focusing on rotten smear tactics that have reached a new low. I can see more than 99% of reasonable, literate and intelligent people voting for APC.

4. On a whole Jonathan has underperformed and destroyed critical areas of Nigeria in terms of economy, security, infrastructure,etc. I see patriotic and well meaning Nigerians voting 100% for APC.

Now tell me how Jonathan can win the election.

Sai Buhari!!!

Bro!! as far as Nigeria is concern with this stage we are in where pen and paper are still invoke!!! the only way GEJ will loose is if jigga betrays him which is likely not the case because when you look at the north it self you will see that they hold key positions in the GEJ administration!! plus majority of them from Jiga people re behind GEJ so definitely both parties will Rigged but the power incumbency will always go ahead to win

wonders sha never end.... in the current Nigeria we are i can tell you vividly your vote doesn't count and its hard for an incumbent president to loose election... but my vote will go for GEJ as i am not a fan of PDP or APC ... But with current Nigeria situation its best for PDP to still go for another 4 yrs... but its time for us the youth to prepare a youth towards 2019 under our own platform to present us ... we are 65Million they say i see no reason why we cant win ... but this election .. my opinion .. Tinubu will take money from GEJ and Buhari will loose again..

its not a virus it is legit... i just installed it on my VM

he should try to right a code to detect screen resolution


He needs to make some changes i am not sure how he calls up his signatures but so far it hasnt detected my trojan!!!

Its innovative

From my Station i wish all Nigerians all the Best of the 2015 ... we should stay away from Negativity and embrace positivity Good or Bad ... Nigeria will be better ... I pray for the president for God to give him the strength to lead .. with the situations we have in Nigeria as a country i didn't expect the president to be still on that seat which shows he is strong but with a lot of insult , negativity , false news from the media , bad opposition , corrupt politicians in his circle .. and he is still the president means .. God will use him to move Nigeria to the promise land .. as i always say in my comments the change we want from Nigeria starts from each and every one of us... it doesn't matter what tribe , religion or where you from .. change is what we as Nigerians have to have individual so that we can also tackle people we have before the president from local government chairman , to house of rep , to senators to governors because if this people in the middle before the president don't receive the monthly allocation i am not sure we will have a seating president , we should use the social media to ask our sentors , house rep members questions too ..

Nigeria wont change within 4 yrs because the foundation is very very rotten... with the policies on ground if being implemented properly Nigeria will be the power house in africa.. God bless you all

trillville:
Why must Nigeria always look to import finished goods (military equipment). Government will now tell us it has no business with business.
if DICON is empowered to develop all these equipment, we will not be facing this embarrassment now.

We have so many mechanical engineers unemployed, some even with masters yet government says it has no business with business so it has to create employment in foreign countries by importing all sorts of finished goods at the expense of our people and the naira.

Saudi Arabia is simply doing the bidding of America and this action has absolutely no religious undertone in my opinion. Pakistan is a much more radical state than saudi and yet it has chosen to sell Nigeria weapons.

please research about Pakistan Military they have one of the best Security Services in the world after CIA , MI6 , Isreal .. designing Military equipment requires a lot which this politicians wont want to invest in it...its all about investment... best option is to a take a diplomatic role on S’arabia ... they are in serious romance with the US government that's why we have oil crisis today... But seriously I agree with your idea of us using our technology... to build this stuff

Nigerians and Assumptions , Even the US Riggs Election and for an incumbent president he is 80% Likely to be elected back ... with the analysis is not what is on ground in this states , Northern's have more people in this present Government than any other Region in Nigeria , Buhari will win some states but some Old men still controlling the economy in directly wont allow Buhari.. All i am praying for is the after math of the elections because if not being managed well ... there will be serious crisis from the South to the North....

i think people should read this Article http://nigeriaworld.com/articles/2014/dec/213.html

Soldiers of Fortune is not a comforting story. It will astound, alarm, and almost certainly infuriate. It tells the story of a motley bunch of gun-toting men who, united by bravado, ambition, self-righteousness, and a false sense of entitlement, held the destiny of Africa’s most populous country in their hands, and gambled with it. These men were obsessed with the power that control over Nigeria offered, but they were lacking in the vision, integrity, and gravitas required to effectively implement change. The sum effect of the 1985 coup by General Babangida and his cohorts would take Nigeria two steps backwards for every one half-hearted step forwards.

The author of the book, Max Siollun, stands unchallenged as the Chronicler-in-Chief of the Nigerian military. In this follow-up to his first book Oil, Politics and Violence: Nigeria's Military Coup Culture (1966-1976), he fixes his gaze on the first ten years of Nigeria’s second stretch of military rule. Soldiers of Fortune is full of dramatic moments, from the final moments of Shehu Shagari as president to the abortive attempt by the Buhari government to kidnap exiled politician Umaru Dikko and bring him for trial in Nigeria, to the shelling of President Babangida’s private quarters during the unsuccessful April 1990 coup.
Dodging bullets, gambling in fear

Through the book, Siollun carefully navigates a middle ground and argues that Babangida and his companions were subjected to pressure from the public as much as they were trying to exert pressure on them – Nigeria gambled with these men as much as they gambled with her. They were strongmen, no doubt, but they were simultaneously prisoners of time and circumstance. Powerful as they seemed to be, they lived their lives in terror and paranoia, acutely aware of how much was at stake in the corridors of absolute power, and that those who lived by the gun were always on the verge of dying by the gun.

As Babangida is quoted as saying, years after leaving office: “When I became the president, there were about 23 of us who were the coup plotters at that time and immediately that coup was successful, I sat the 23 of us together and said: ‘Congratulations, we made it but remember one thing, just like we took up guns and toppled a government, we also have to watch because somebody would one day want to topple us', and this is because I understood the nature of the Nigerian person.”
The Nigerian people, welcoming one dictator after another

Soldiers of Fortune is as much about the formidable cabal as it is about the citizens that were eventually subjected to it. Time and again there is evidence that at every point in their history, Nigerians have deserved the leaders they got. Siollun’s book succeeds in highlighting the most unflattering sides of the Nigerian citizenry: the famed shallowness of collective memory, the effortless sycophancy, the inability to transcend short-term thinking, the tribal obsessions, the propensity to settle for a status quo in which “the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity".

It took less than two years for the same set of people to grow tired of the “stern, focused and uncompromising” General Buhari, who ruled the country between 1983 and 1985, and eagerly welcome his polar opposite, the “amiable, cunning, and tactically adroit” Babangida. These were the same people who rejoiced when the ascetic Buhari replaced the blundering, corrupt government led by a chain-smoking, fashion-conscious Shehu Shagari.
The herculean task of making sense of Nigeria’s history

It must be pointed out that Siollun has not so much uncovered anything we did not know or suspect already, but he has performed the herculean task of stitching existing material together into a single defining account, in a way that no-one before him has ever done.

Siollun is an outsider in the sense that he was not personally involved in any of the events or periods he writes about. In this case, however, it can be seen as a positive, as his clear and meticulous style gives him away as someone being more committed to objectivity than an ‘insider’ could ever be. Many accounts of Nigerian history are told by the actors themselves, or by those close to the centre of the action, often with a mission to portray subjects in the best – or worst – possible light. With Siollun, at no point do you get the sense that this is a book written to settle scores or to “set the records straight".

What Siollun has done is to cast his net wide, dig up both known and obscure documents, speeches, interviews and books, and, from the vantage position of an unbiased observer, weave together a coherent narrative of how a nation’s military shaped and reshaped Nigeria over the course of a decade. He brings to it a matter-of-fact style, a wide historical sweep, and a profound understanding of what he is writing about, succeeding in connecting distant and seemingly unrelated events in the most illuminating manner.

Soldiers of Fortune is an interesting, compelling, pause-often-and-wonder account of yet another unfortunate epoch in Nigeria’s history, one narrated with clarity and an unmistakable commitment to truthfulness – qualities which should never be taken for granted in today’s Nigeria.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QP6HVC8/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_ZlyHub0K199RH

From well Known Sources 3 Major problem Nigeria have is OBJ , IBB and AbdulSalam this men are they major issues nigeria have and them no gree Die

I BELIEVE WE WILL GET THERE!! IF SOME MAJOR POLICIES ARE CHANGED[size=8pt][/size]

But seriously Do Nigerians expect 24 hours Supply within 4 years , it is not possible because if you understand the energy and power scenario its gonna take time !! just need good visionary leaders whom will put there whole in it to archive it because from the grid to every Nigeria will take a whole lot of time to fix Policies have to be changed , Billing system has to be tackled , More alternative Energy sources like Solar farms in the north and wind Mills at the coastal part of the country , quality in regards to pay what you use which has to be checked , Buildings have to be registered into the NEPA or PHCN database and accessible to all Nigerians .. take a look at South koreahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_Electric_Power_Corporation it took them time too.. We really need to be positive even with the current situation we face in Nigeria .. yes our leaders have failed us but doesn't mean we should also fail our children!! or fail our self , we should try and be a change in one way or the other... God bless everyone

yeye celebraties!!!

What nonsense talk are you saying?
The fact that the NSA and the presidency carried out this trxn without the approval of National assembly calls for concern.Also the fact that they did not involved the SA govt calls for more concerns...The pastor who represents a relispiritual body(CAN) in Nigeria should not drag the exalted seat to mud by romancing with the politicians...Anglican okogie admitted the pastor should not be dining with the politicians who are knowned to be develish..The private jet belong to CAN president?this is serious..The cbn brought a law that physical cash transfer is against the law,yet they allowed this..let's see what the financial reporting council of Nigeria will say

seriously!!!!!!!! Arms deals are always in CASH thats if you have done any before which i guess answer is no ... government make the rules for people like you and me , not for the political elites , why do you think someone will go out and buy private jet ? why do you think private jets are on the rampant from Asia to Africa ... its because this is the only way Elites Move there funds and drugs... Government all over the world as a body is a fraud because in every developed country only when you refuse to do what the elites want , you get to front page of a news paper , but if you play according to rules you ball with the elites!! its happening in the US , Europe , Russia and China... and the government does what the BIG BANKERS TELL THEM OR THEY CRASH THEM!!!

Tinbu would sell out to GEJ as usual take the big DOLLARS.. the mights of Buhari and Attiku whom want to control the party he gave up everything for .. is on verge of ya mutu ... as this two strong holds will hijack the party from him Definitely .. And for him to let any of this people in the fore front rather than his loyal boy like FASH ... He rather Gives GEJ his vote and Take the Money...!!!

Mark is gonna be the Next Number one after GEJ that's why he is playing according to the books , OBJ cant afford Attiku or Buhari be 9ja number one man!! never..

That is in my own opinion

THEY ARE ALL SAME... PDP OR APC!!! SAME ... SAME THIEF THIEF!!!

EXPLOITS!!! THE BEST PART OF MY LIFE

sevule: Oh for Pete's sake try and think for ONCE and stop posting pseudo ramblings!! So America is now to blame for our INCREDIBLY CORRUPT government?
Are they to blame for Boko Haram and our government's unwillingness to do anything about it?
Are they to blame for the $9 million debacle in South Africa?
Are they to blame for the fact that our army is ill equipped yet billions of dollars is budgeted annually?
Are they to blame for our missing $20 billion?
Are they to blame for PHCN and the fact that we are still struggling with light?
Are they to blame for the fact that we have NOTHING to show for 30 years of oil exploration?
Do you want me to go on?

You are a TYPICAL NIGERIAN! instead of you to think about the REAL cause of our problems (our corrupt government) you would rather blame the WITCHES in your village and America

Efforts by the Nigerian military to procure US-made Chinook helicopters from Israel, to facilitate the movement of troops and the injured, have been blocked by the United States Government, THISDAY has learnt.

This, among other issues, including the US’ refusal to provide Nigeria’s security agencies with timely intelligence needed to defeat Boko Haram insurgents who have been riding rough shod in the North-east, would form part of the discussions when President Goodluck Jonathan meets with US President Barack Obama in New York this week.

Jonathan departed for New York on Sunday for the 69th General Assembly of the United Nations.

The Chinook is a versatile and reliable American twin-engine, tandem rotor heavy-lift helicopter produced by Boeing. Its primary roles are troops movement, artillery placement and battlefield resupply.

In a war where Boko Haram insurgents move in convoys through arid towns and villages, the helicopters are required to checkmate them, reinforce troops and supplies and recover dead and wounded soldiers.

Although it has a number of variants and is used primarily for the transportation of troops, supplies and search and rescue operations, limited weaponry can be mounted on its door and window for the purpose of enemy attacks.

However, according to defence and intelligence sources, attempts to buy the helicopters and other munitions from, first the US and other Western European countries, have proved to be an impossible task, thus compelling the military to resort to Israel and several retired members of the Israeli defense forces.

Opening up on the challenges the Nigerian military has faced dealing with the procurement of arms for the war effort in the North-east, a knowledgeable official, who did not want to be named as he was not authorised to speak with the press, said: “The US government has frustrated Nigeria all the way in our war against terrorism despite its public statements in support of Nigeria, as it fights the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-east… They want us to fight Boko Haram with our arms tied to our backs.

“They have refused to sell us arms and equipment and even our recent attempt to buy Chinook helicopters, which are manufactured in the US, from the Israelis was blocked, based on unfounded allegations of human rights violations by our troops. This is after the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu had initially approved the purchase.

“But because they were supplied by the Americans, the Israelis required a ‘No Objection’ letter from Washington which was refused.

“We had even tried to procure arms from Russia but this was stalled because of the Ukrainian crisis, thus compelling us to turn to other nations like Israel. But even this has been frustrated by the US,” he said.
He said it was not just in the area of arms procurement that US has been most unhelpful, adding that contrary to its public stance that it was assisting in the rescue operations of the abducted Chibok secondary school girls it has done nothing significant to help Nigeria in this regard.

Other intelligence sources also cited the fact that the US has refused to share intelligence with Nigerian security forces in a timely manner.
They said: “When we complained they started sharing some intelligence, but days after the fact when such intelligence is of little value.

“They have blocked us from procuring the helicopters and would not provide us with intelligence despite the fact that they have several drones and sophisticated aircraft overflying the North-east of Nigeria from bases in Niger and Chad where the Boko Haram fighters and movements are clearly in their sights.

“This belies their stance they want to help us to defeat the terrorists and help to rescue the Chibok girls.”

Indeed, a security analyst who spoke to THISDAY on the issue said the US’ role smacks of double standards and questioned its intent over the Boko Haram insurgency.

He warned that ignoring the threat of Boko Haram could be a strategy that could come to haunt the US in the future.

He also wondered why the same US would refuse to assist Nigeria based on unsubstantiated claims of human rights violations, which the military has repeatedly denied and insisted are carried out by Boko Haram insurgents wearing Nigerian military uniforms, yet the same US turns a blind eye to the same human rights violations committed by countries like Israel.

“Look at what happened in the recent war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza strip. Israel repeatedly bombed school compounds and UN buildings and in the process killed scores of women and children.
“Even the UN cried out against the targeting of its facilities by Israeli forces, yet the US did nothing and will continue to supply arms and ammunition to Israel to defend itself against Palestinians and other hostile neighbours in the Middle East,” the security analyst said.

Efforts by THISDAY to get the White House to respond to the allegations were not successful.

Two questions to the White House and the US National Security Adviser’s office which were unanswered as at press time are: The Nigerian military, through its agents, tried to buy Chinook helicopters for the prosecution of the war against terrorism, from Israel. But this was blocked by the U.S. National Security Council and the White House. If so, why was the procurement blocked?; and the decision to block the procurement of the helicopters may have stemmed from U.S.’ concerns over human rights abuses by Nigerian troops who have been fighting the insurgents in the North-eastern part of the country. Does this not appear contradictory given the fact that the U.S. continues to supply equipment and ammunition to Israel, which is also accused of human rights violations in Palestinian territories?

More Terrorists Surrender

In a related development, as the news continued to spread about the possible killing of the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, or his body double who security forces insist has been impersonating the “real” Shekau for over a year, members of the terror sect have been thrown into disarray and are surrendering in droves to the Nigerian military.

Whereas the security agencies are yet to officially name or confirm the names of some of the senior members of the sect who were said to have been killed or captured in recent operations in Konduga, Borno State, including Shekau or his alleged imposter, more suspected insurgents have continued to surrender and hand over their weapons to the troops.

According to a statement issued on the Defence Headquarter's (DHQ) twitter handle, 10 more sect members surrendered yesterday to the Nigerian security forces at Kawuri, Borno State, and have since been taken into custody for further interrogation.
The statement read: “Another set of 10 terrorists yesterday surrendered to troops at #Kawuri. In custody for necessary security debriefing #VictoryforNigeria.”

A blood battle had ensued between members of the sect and Nigerian troops in Kawuri about two weeks ago, leaving over 50 terrorists dead.
It is believed that some 40 terrorists including those from Konduga have so far surrendered to the military.

Military Debunks Cameroun’s Claim

However, the unconfirmed death of the Boko Haram leader or his impostor has continued to generate controversy as Camerounian authorities were alleged to have claimed responsibility for the killing of the terrorist henchman.

Camerounian authorities yesterday released a photo of a dead man they identified as Shekau, the loquacious and attention-seeking leader of the terrorist group that has launched deadly strikes in Nigeria’s North-east zone as well as Cameroun.

But the claim, which went viral, attracted the attention of the Nigerian Defence authorities, which quickly debunked the rumour.
The DHQ through its twitter account described the claim by Cameroun as untrue.

The military authorities said: “There was no raid whatsoever by Cameroun or any foreign forces in any part of Nigeria’s territory in pursuit of terrorists as claimed in some reports allegedly quoting Cameroun military authorities.
“All operations ongoing in the environs of Konduga and all associated border locations within the country are completely being undertaken by Nigerian troops.”

Troops Shoot Indiscriminately in Yola

Meanwhile, pandemonium broke out at the Federal College of Education (FCE), Yola, Adamawa State, yesterday when some soldiers on patrol shot into the air a few meters away from the institution.

The development caused panic in the school and its environs, as students and other passersby were reported to have scrambled for safety. In the melee that ensured, some of the students sustained various degrees of injuries.

An eyewitness, who spoke to THISDAY on the issue, revealed that the soldiers were part of the troops drafted to fight the insurgents in Mubi, Michika, Gulak and Madagali of Adamawa State.

The eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, said he was about to board a bus when he and other intending passengers heard sporadic gunshots, compelling them to run for their lives.

He said several vehicles were badly damaged in the process of trying to escape from the gunshots.
It also led to a traffic snarl in the area and many people sustained injuries, he revealed.

“See how our vehicles are now damaged and not one among the soldiers deemed it fit to say sorry, they just zoomed off. Only in Nigeria would you see security operatives firing shots unprovoked. They are just trigger happy,” said Ambrose Anthony, a student of FCE, Yola.

Another eyewitness, named Abdulazeez, said: “We have to run for our lives, fearing that it was Boko Haram insurgents that have taken over the state capital.”

Abdulazeez, who sustained an injury, said students were injured while scampering for their lives, particularly female students who were about to enter the college.

Reacting to the development, the Public Relations Officer of the college, Mallam Bashir Abdullahi, said the shooting incident did not take place in the college but was nearby.

“Yes, we heard that during the show of force displayed by the soldiers, there was shooting into the air. But I cannot confirm whether there was any loss of lives or not,” he said.

Efforts to get the army spokesman, Captain Jafaru Nuhu, proved abortive as
he did not pick his phones.

Nonetheless, security operatives were said to have arrested five suspected members of Boko Haram in the internally displaced persons (IDPs)camp in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.

Police spokesman, Assistant Superintendent of Police Michael Haa, confirmed the arrest of some high-risk criminals at the IDPs camp in the state capital.
He said the police were yet to unveil the true identity of the suspects, clarifying that the suspects were high-risk criminals and were being investigated.

Thank you on this Post .. People are too ignorant to know the truth .. But the truth be told alot of things are going on underground we dont know and being covered up by the western media

The power game in Nigeria is a thing of interest; Because of the recent events, I have taken out time to replay the drama that brought us to this point in our existence. So many theories have been put forward, but I still believe somehow along the line, only the half-truths has been spoken. The truth itself is too wide that I am even scared to play its entire tape. For that, I understand and bear with the orators of the half-truths. It is complicated and sometimes confusing thereby allowing the gullible to fall into line with which ever bandwagon has the largest backlog. So many Nigerians have decided not to bother about the conspiracy that has been determining the game itself. All we do is listen and assimilate without asking why. But for how long?

It has always been about power and nothing more. It got more interesting with the discovery of oil hence the need for control. As history has placed it, the founding fathers were not so pleased to come together as one, but history tells us that it was the only condition our colonial masters had given as a pre-condition for granting a speedy independence. So like I said, I understand. Going that far may bore the reader as it has been proven that most Africans are impatient when there is too much details, but it is only in the details that we can have a clearer picture.

Recently, some British Journalist just told us of a secret document in the British archives that is marked “PLEASE DO NOT OPEN FOR 100 YEARS” it is said that this document was signed by the founding fathers of Nigeria. Only God knows what is in there, but your guess might be as good as mine. But that is not the purpose of this article as we may not have the time to keep running a riddle placed before us by our ancestors. Truth is that a few people I will call “The Power Musketeers” have a faint idea of what is in there and why it was signed. There is a section of the country that as history says, was told to see the minorities in their region as minorities for life, and to see other regions as a conquered territory. In essence, the minorities and the conquered were to be seen as such and not as leaders. So by all means, they were to be seen as such. But the game went further messy when these born leaders discovered in truth that their population was not on the bright side hence the need for a strategy. The strategy was to give the minorities in their region a sense of belonging. To be seen as one body called “ONE NORTH” With that in place, they believed they could have the required number (population) as a region even when there was the unspoken word that leadership of the region shall be controlled by the same born to rule even when those minorities are placed as heads in some significant places. But it was not still to produce the required result as at that time, hence the need for the first Conspiracy, “The Census Conspiracy” Like Henry Omoregie, a public analyst had described it during his early morning show in AIT (A television interview), He called it the mother of all corruption. It was a lie that had continued to be told by effecting many other lies. And since then, the lies has continued.

Unfortunately, the revelations of these lies first hit the rock after the coup that overthrew General Gowon in 1975. General Gowon, being not of the born-to-rule was brought forth to sit temporary for the northern interest with the impression that he was one of them, but in truth, he was brought in because the born to rule were not ready to take over the leadership mantle of the vast nation of their conquered territory due to lack of representation in that capacity. As a minority from the north being the most senior Military officer at the time from the region after the murder of General Ironsi (A general from the conquered territory), Gowon a Lt. Colonel was placed as a robot to do the biddings of the born-to-rule. This control did not last as soon as the Lieutenant Colonel turned General soon discovered the powers he had as the custodian of the entire Nation. He soon was not doing the bidding of his installers, he had to be booted out when he over stayed, hence the second conspiracy in history. But this time, they had to bring forth another stranger from the conquered territory that agreed to do their bidding by being part of the great conspiracy of keeping power in the region. General Olusegun Obasanjo from the conquered territory, and a former ally of the incumbent General Gowon was placed as an instrument for watch. He was rewarded as the next in command to the new custodian of the staff of authority General Muritala Mohammed.

Olusegun Obasanjo who was as at the time an unconfirmed Brigadier was rewarded as a second in command to his course-mate that was promoted ahead of him by Major General Gowon. Investigation into history reveals that Brigadier Muritala Mohammed was likely to be retired on Gowon’s return from the OAU meeting he attended at Ethiopia. But his ally, the General from the farms gave out his ally for the position of the second in command. That was to be the only reason that brought him into the trusted wings of the born to rule. His boss, a Hausa/Fulani from Kano state then though with ancestral links in Edo state was quick to promote him ahead of their course-mate another General from the Middle belt that was made to align with the interest of the born to rule. The entrusted oneness to the minority of the north now pronounced as MIDDLE BELT had been under suspicion. The born to rule as at then cemented their trust with the western part of their alleged conquered territory. The General from Otta was seen as a workable choice who had also become part of the entire conspiracy just to save his head and job. The General from Taraba (former Gongola State) a part of the middle belt was placed as head of the army to check, advice and deal with any of the young officers from the middle belt, the conquered territory that were suspected of not being satisfied with the new structure of the army and leadership. And in that coup and change of government, the creation of the King makers had come to be solidified. And finally, The Hausa Fulani were in absolute control of the nation’s military and leadership as it witness the rise to leadership position of the tribe called born-to-rule. 85% of all critical leadership position in that government was allocated to the north and 75% of the 85% was given to the hausa/fulani and subsequently the kanuris. It was a new dawn that was not to be dusked.
