APC will soon expel dat cow from Daura

FarahAideed:
With consistent IS scores of genius and many innovation to my name yet you think I am not smart enough to see where you are going ..you are a known Buharist on this forum so I know where you are headed with this Alqeda narrative

FarahAideed:
Stop trying to paint Buharis herdsmen ad Alqaeda becuase they are not , I was referring to Fulani herdsmen under the auspices of Miyetti Allah and yes Buhari is clearly in support of all the wing they have been doing

FarahAideed:
BUHARI has always been sympathetic to Fulani terrorist and only God knows how much material and moral support he is now giving behind the scenes apart from the brazen law enforcement shield he provides in public .. for a man that once stood up to defend Boko Haram and was also nominated to negotiate on behalf of them anything is very possible

MistadeRegal:
They've entered Ghana too?
West Africa in shit unless we take responsibility of our safety.

Scholes007:
For a long time I have suspected some foreign infiltration by terrorist organization. Laws should be put in place to check the activities of these herdsmen. The tendency that some terrorist organization must have infiltrated the noble profession should also be put into consideration.

But to be sincere, Mr President is not doing enough. This is what gives room to the accusations he is receiving. He seem too slow or more or less clueless about actions to take about this.

FarahAideed:
Since Buhari became President of Nigeria the Fulani have suddenly got more funds and moral to step up their expansionist drive ..This Herdsmen menace is really a threat to the collective existence of the sub region and must be tackled

Ngokafor:
And the terrorists strikes again..The real terrorists are the fulani herdsmen not IPOB...but since Nigeria is an abnormal country,terrorists tag peaceful organisation as terrorists..what an irony and a ticking time-bomb.

iyke926:
3million is small.

The Nigerian Army should increase it to 800 million naira and watch men stomp Sambisa Forest.



On behalf the good people of Biafra Republic, I Chief Dr. Iyke donates $40,000,000 to the Nigeria Government for the hunt of Shekau

Three soldiers who sustained gunshot wounds after an attack by nomadic herdsmen at Agogo in the Ashanti Region, have been transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) after their conditions became critical.

The soldiers and a police officer, all members of Operation Cow Leg, were shot by herdsmen on Monday, 8 January 2018, after they had responded to a distress call by a farmer whose crops were being destroyed by cattle belonging to the Fulani.

The unknown assailants laid ambush and shot at the security officers.

The victims were initially sent to the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital for first aid but had to be referred to KATH due to the nature of their wounds.

“We realised that one of them, who had a pellet down the throat, was becoming breathless because the upper airway was becoming obstructed and the other too had sustained shots at the base of the skull, which was causing bleeding. And the third also had a pellet by the vertebral column so we had to refer [them to KATH],” a nurse at the Agogo Hospital, Emmanuel Mensah, told Joy News on Tuesday, 9 January.

Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Police Command has said it will not be frightened by attacks on officers of Operation Cow Leg.

According to ASP Juliana Obeng, the Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations Officer, the Police will continue to ensure law and order in the area as far as the activities of the Fulani herdsmen are concerned.

When four US special forces soldiers died in an ambush earlier this month in scrubby desert in western , attention was suddenly focused on one of the most remote and chaotic war zones on the planet.

The US troops had been embedded with a larger unit of Nigerien troops and were attacked as they left a meeting with local community leaders a few dozen kilometres from the remote town of Tongo Tongo.

Some reports claimed US troops were on a mission to kill or capture a high-value target in the area, perhaps even Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahraoui, the leader of the only local faction of fighters to have formally pledged allegiance to the .

Given the light armament of the US detachment, the scramble to evacuate them, and the lack of medical backup or reinforcements, this seems unlikely. The US troops were eventually rescued by French aircraft, which flew from bases about 300 miles away in neighbouring Mali.

French troops forced the militants back into the northern deserts of Mali in 2013, and a year later the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (Isis) split their coalition.

Some factions maintained their ties to al-Qaida in the Maghreb, the tenacious and powerful local affiliate of the veteran group founded by Osama bin Laden in 1988.

Al-Sahraoui went his own way with a few dozen extremist followers, eventually pledging allegiance to Isis in May 2015.

In recent years disaffected extremist leaders have looked to Isis for sponsorship – and advantage over their rivals – in conflict zones from west Africa to the Philippines.

Often such pledges of support have been welcomed by Isis high command. But it took , or oath of allegiance, to be formally accepted – and only after he proved his mettle with a series of attacks.

If it is hard to place factions in the Sahel on an organogram of extremist groups, it is even harder to place them on a map.

Other than Boko Haram, the Islamic State affiliate based in north-east Nigeria, no Islamic extremist faction in the Sahel currently has a fixed base, making it very difficult to track the whereabouts and evolution of any individual group.

Even Boko Haram, which gained global notoriety by abducting more than 200 schoolgirls in 2014, has suffered serious losses of manpower, funds and territory in recent months, and is now very scattered.

“Very few factions are looking to govern or control territory … These are highly flexible, mobile units moving frequently, changing areas and it’s very difficult to identify who is who and who controls what,” said Rida Lyammouri, a US-based independent researcher on the Sahel.

The US defence secretary, James Mattis, described the group which attacked the US special forces as “new to the area”.

The dozen or so extremist factions operating across this vast area have, however, been responsible for scores of bloody attacks, and hundreds of deaths. Recent strikes have included a sophisticated assault on a military camp in Gao, Mali, which killed 77, and a series of attacks on hotels used by westerners and local elites.

Most of the groups responsible for these operations are linked to al-Qaida. yet even here there is little solidarity. A recent attempt by al-Qaida leaders to build a coalition among local jihadi groups is seen by analysts as evidence of quite how fractured the movement is in the region.

Ideology too is often unclear, with experts describing a complex mix of ethnic and other tensions which fuel militancy.

A recent report by the International Crisis Group noted that jihadist groups have established a presence in the northern Tillabery region, close to Tongo Tongo, through targeted recruitment of young members of the Fulani community – one of the largest ethnic groups in west Africa comprising mostly herders – who are looking for ways to counter their ethnic rivals or protect their businesses or communities.

GOODNEWS! GOODNEWS!! GOODNEWS!!!

The information reaching the news desk of Family Writers Press has it that the Biafra referendum campaign posters have saturated the streets of major cities of Biafra Land. That is a good news! Let the posters reach all nook and cranny of Biafra Land. earlier this week, ipob stated that "Biafra restoration is a task that must be accomplished whether rain or shine".

Nigeria ha some powerful clothe removing artillery in their arsenal.

Your comment has clearly shown
that you lack the ability to comprehend
simple articles.

Your problem can be partially genetic &
partially faulty educational foundation.

The situation is pathetic, helpless &
lacks remedy

The most dangerous ppl on earth are
half educated elements who delude unsuspecting
citizens into believing that they know it all.

Carry your cross alone or share the burden
with your ancestors who put you in
this perpetual predicament by their
poor genetic stock..

NAF says, TSAGUIMI is the first indigenous UAV designed and produced under the leadership of Air Marshal sadique Abubakar. Isn't this UAV in development before then?

tdayof:
In my opinion, all these UAV being designed by NAF have similar designs.

What I feel they did is to have UAV with same design but different sizes /engines and sensors and then name then differently..

Eg J-11, J-15 , J-16.


Congratulations to the Nigerian airforce but it took them too long o.

Crime nepotism is alive and
well under buhari.

South South & South West criminals
are always extra judicially shot dead
even when arrested alive.

Northern murderers like Boko haram &
Fulani mass killers, who even routinely
kill police & soldiers, are arrested, taken
to court & bailed or even freed, given money
& handed over to their state govs for "rehabilitation".

This is the height of injustice.

I have no sympathy for southern criminals,
but what is good for the goose, should also
be handed to the gander.

Confirmed multiple reports have it that Augustin Agulegbu, the chief security officer (CSO) to late and dreaded serial killer Johnson Igwedibia fondly called Don Wanny - is dead. According to reports, Augustin was shot dead by officers of the department of Department of State Services (DSS) early hours of today.

The kidnap kingpin and mass murderer, Don Wanny was killed in his hideout in Enugu state earlier this year.

A combined team of troops of eighty-two Division Nigerian Army Enugu and personnel of DSS Rivers State Command raided the hideout to arrest him and his other accomplices. They attempted to escape through the back exit of the apartment and were shot down by the eagle eyed troops in the process.

The notorious gang of criminals murdered 23 peace loving citizens of Omoku in Rivers state when they were returning from Cross Over Service at about 1:30am on Monday 1st January 2018.

The CSO of Late Don Wanny who was amongst the 32 Cultists declared wanted by the State Security Council was killed following accurate DSS intelligence.

I think it will do not ONLY Nigerlites but all people that ply that road a whole lot of good if Niger state government fix that Bida-Minna road. The road has become a death trap...so far 100 of lives has been lost on this same road and the governor had turned a blind eyes to the pathetic situation and some of thesebdeaths can be avoided and prevented if the road is fixed.

Niger state over the years has been so unlucky with its leaders...you scrape out the ashphalt of the road for about 6months now when you know you are not ready to resurface the road. Many communities along this axis have been complaining of dust raised by the motorists plying the root.

The earlier Niger state governor Abubakar Lolo Bello act as a responsible leader about this road the better for him

deji17:
Well, in this situation, we can not conclude that "our prosecutors are not tough enough" until the matter is concluded. We should give them kudos, for bringing the matter to this stage. It is not easy for a criminal to request for plea bargain. Number one, it is an admission of guilt and secondly, it means that the prosecution has built a solid case with almost irrefutable evidence. It takes a lot of investigative work to arrive at where they are now.

Ginaz:
Thanks. Now I know the name. Even people in my compound don't know. Reason I was so pissed and brought it here.

VERQUEST111:
The Nigerian electricity supply industry is losing an estimated N24 bn monthly as a result of the importation of fuel such as diesel for alternative sources of energy, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing , Babatunde Fashola , has said.

According to Fashola , Nigerians consume about 300 million litres of diesel every month and 75 per cent of this volume is imported , while about 40 per cent is used in generators to produce electricity .

The minister stated these at the 24 th monthly power sector stakeholders’ meeting hosted by the Transmission Company of Nigeria in Abuja on Monday, and explained that about N 24 bn was being lost by the sector as a result of the importation of fuel on a monthly basis .

Fashola , who was represented by the Minister of State II for Power, Works and Housing , Suleiman Hassan , said, “ Many power consumers use diesel . Diesel importation has been declining over the last two years . Many are reporting that they ran their generators for noticeably few hours .
This is progress . However , Nigerians still consume about 300 million litres of diesel every month and most of this is used to power generators.
“ About 75 per cent is imported , putting pressure on scarce foreign exchange . Assuming 40 per cent of the consumption is used for power generation at an average of price of N200 per litre, the electricity industry is losing N 24 bn every month largely to imported energy. ”

He also stated that the amount used in importing fuel as an alternative source for generating power could be channelled for use in the electricity supply industry , as about 2 , 000 megawatts of power remained unutilised in the sector .

Fashola said, “ There is about 2 ,000 MW of electricity generating capacity that is unutilised. Therefore , the challenge of the moment before the industry is how to deliver the unutilised capacity to consumers , who are willing to pay for it and are already paying dearly for alternatives .

“ Problems like this require creative solutions and we don’ t have any time to waste . The N701 . 9 bn payment reassurance programme is a creative solution that appears to be having the desired effect for stabilising the gas and generation end of the electricity industry .

“ If we can creatively and constructively focus on specific win- win projects , four policies provide effective tools to quickly resolve the challenges we now face. The first two , the eligible customer regulation and the meter service provider regulation, are already subjects of detailed discussions and NERC regulatory action . ”

Fashola added that the eligible customer regulation allowed large consumers to buy their power directly from the generation companies and then enter into contracts with the Transmission Company of Nigeria and distribution companies to have the power delivered to them .

“ To plan an orderly win - win implementation of this policy , the ministry is hosting a discussion with the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and other interested large consumers of the policy on Tuesday ( today) , ” the minister said .

He stated that the meter service provider regulation could unlock investments in metering , which was urgently needed to boost consumer trust and collection efficiency .

The minister added “Government seeks to apply that policy through private companies and local meter manufacturers to invest N39 bn in meters as settlement of a court judgement in favour of the government .

“ The distribution expansion programme aims to rapidly construct 2 , 500 MVA of dedicated 33 kV lines and packaged substations to deliver unutilised power to target consumers and Discos . It is our hope that we will all put our heads together to serve the public effectively . ”

Very true about Buhari and the northerners bringing southerners to their knees despite being more educated.
