ABUJA—The United States Ambassador, James F. Entwistle, yesterday, failed to meet with #BringBackOurGirls campaign group, which marched to some embassies to solicit their supports in the campaign for release of the remaining 219 girls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, kidnapped by Boko Haram six months ago.
The visit to the embassy was a continuation of Global Week of Action to commemorate the unfortunate six months mark since the abduction of the girls.
The American ambassador was scheduled to receive the group at 3.00pm at the Diplomatic Zone, Abuja, to address the group but sent some representatives to apologise that he would not be able to make it.
Meanwhile, the group has called on Muslims all over the world to use Friday Jumat to pray for the safe return of the girls.
The group also visited the embassies of China and Niger.

They need to get private hands into the railways. What is happening to the railway reform bill?

bros is in the pipeline already the process of getting private sectors involved.. am writing a proposal to a bank on this. While lazy nigerians keep waiting for fg to spoonfeed them. u too can write a proposal to invest in it if u have the means to do so.Nigeria is moving its only those that are short sighted that dont see this.

SLIDEwaxie:
Let the rail system stay, Lord clueless is going!

Besides, we dnt av a system, we only have a rail..

i rather have lord clueless than the intellent slowpoke buhari and his co distructors that killed the rail system that the clueless is bringing back to life. The supporters of this clueless would meet u and ur likes at the poll better get your voters card ready

By the time the campaign kicks off and gej start showcasing his achivements i wonder were lai mohammed and his ants of propagandist would hide their face

noblezone:

Okoro2015:
Best reply to this topic.

The only bad portion on this road is about a kilometre stretch and construction activities are ongoing. I passed there on Monday. This is a mischievous post.

dont mind the fools those thatt claim there are no work going on on that road i challenge dem to meet me in front of obinze. Military barrack.

Op why disnt u memtion that the road is under constrution can u swear that u saw no constrution activities going on that road . This is the same road that was bad from owerri to portharcourt during a certain obasanjo rule but is been construted to double lane that is just a section of the road why did u post the picture of the good portion

My brother ignore this buhari supporter they are 90s children. Add to what the afenifere said about buharis leadership of PTF during the late oputa panel and what soyinka had to say about him before he became the spokeman of APC. Buhari they claim is not corrupt but has worked with those who institutionalized corruption in nigeria.during his raign ibb and abacha where in his cabinet and he alao worked with abacha and even came public to defend that abacha never Stole a penny this is the man some ignoramus will want to protray as not corrupt. A hard core tribalist during his reign as ptf chairman he built more road in his home town alone than what he built in the south .just in his home town not to talk of the whole north that is why his the northern champion. During his tenure he enriched only his fulani brothers they were the only ones allowed to import anything into nigeria. Goods of poor traders were seized for no just cause by soldiers. He band foreign currency but allowed a certain emir import suit cases filled with it ceased by a young atiku that is why am happy his comming up against atiku i dare the weeping chameleon general to call atiku corrupt and see if he atiku would not expose him.

This would not make news here on naira land.the title is not favourable for apc paid e propanda machine .atiku met and paid them huge sum to spread lies like their spokeman. Lier Mohammed .if the inflation rate was said to be above 2digit then u would vet comments.

Shame on that judge writing petition based on hear say i hope the NJC follow this to its logical end and people should be pubished.. apc has compromised the judges in state they govern from salami to this one again God knows how many kangaroo injuction these judges has granted the apc

If the writer is really igbo he should know that price of fuel is not 96 naira per litre but more than 100 naira in the southeast .from asaba apart from the nnpc filling stations fuel is sold for more than 100 bucks.so southeast dont benefit from fuel subsidy hence why there were no protest during the sybsidy jamboree in the north and southwest

tonychristopher: Stop crying Atlantic ocean

The power sector has been deregulated and states now have the capacity yo generate and distribute energy don't blame it again on PDP

Give us another line

do they know anything apart from propaganda that comes out of apc. Akwa ibom,delta,anambra bauchi are all about to complete their power plants while the mugus are still waiting for fg

SamAfrik: You shouldnt have bothered explaining basic English to me. One thing is certain you can hardly separate the two words: while all leaders are rulers (in the political context) unfortunately not all rulers are leaders.
As for your slander of personalities & the opposition, you are talking to the wrong person..... I already decided for APC.
70% of Nigerians know the party they are voting next year anyway.

speak for yourself,unless u mean 70% boko haram will vote apc keep dreaming. is it not the apc that atiku vice president 8years is a memeber of what did he achieve,buhari was a governor Of the north east during obasanjo's first coming how is the north east faring amost regions that were governed by his pears, tinubu was lagos state governor for 8 years lagos a formal capital of nigeria is in a mess can u take a trip to abuja that is administed by the pdp a new town is far far ahead of lagos in everything be it infrastructure or organisation even though lagos was created years back.well keep dreaming the revolution has aready started in ekiti and the sw tinubu would be cut to size next year

Meanwhile is their ultimatum. Not over yet

You see why APC followers are hypocrites,
While Fg is printing ballot paper in nigeria to reduce cost in printing it abroad and create jobs for more nigerians here at home..these apc dafts and their dumb leaders are shouting fowl .they want us to continue wasting billions to print them abroad creating jobs for the youthts of those countries.

Well am not suprised a party that hired a foreign PR company to help them sponsor their propoganda abroad.

To their followers its a good idea creating jobs for niger with kano state money while alot of youths are jobless in his state.tomorrow this same fools that are supporting this capital flight to niger would turn around and say gej didnt provide employment.

To them its only GeJ that has the responsibility to create jobs while people like kano state government and other apc state can send our money to niger and other countries to create job for their youths While their own youths are jobless

Babymama1: How many more days left

18 days to go maidugari apc hope they are preparing their case against ihijirika

"@DefenceInfoNG: 2 Officers and 3 Soldiers who were wounded in the battle are currently receiving treatment in a Military Medical Facility #MubiOperation /3

@DefenceInfoNG: ...root out the insurgents, scores of insurgents lost their lives while several others escaped with fatal gunshot wounds #Mubi /2"

@DefenceInfoNG: UPDATE: Counter Terrorist Troops today carried out an attack on Insurgents in #Mubi town, Adamawa state. In the fierce battle to root.

MeAboki: My friend, get off your high horse.

Yes, the disparities may be there (as per the figures mentioned) but there are also more to them than meets the eye - and evidently less than apparent to you.

First of all, Kwankwaso is trying to reverse the trend by introducing free education for state indigenes, building several schools through out the state, including a university, also as mentioned sponsoring over 1000 students on scholarship to study abroad (on various courses) - all within 2.5 years of his tenure.

Of course the impact of this human investment would take many years before coming to fruition (a point you would rather ignore); he also introduced other measures, like the law to stop street begging in an effort to curtail truancy.

No, the disproportionate higher budget by Kano compared to Anambra Vs the educational outcome does not necessarily translate to greater efficiency or having less dunces by the latter; as the budgetary differences can easily be explained by the above mentioned activities by the Kano State Governor; while the issue of scholastic performance could also be partially explained by a more sinister reason e.g. exam malpractice in all its ramifications; after all we hear of stories like a whole family numbering up to 40 sharing 1 certificate; while some examples are even more spectacularly prominent - as seen in our current very own first lady, madam peace a.k.a deris God O!

Lastly, neither does exam performance equate to intelligence as there are many PhD holders with low I.Q., in fact one them is currently in Aso Rock - shey you understand

complete crap the fund has been used to sponsor boko haram

jmaine: So How did he ask them ?

please help me ask the simpleton maybe mr davies used force on them or he used juju on them.this apc followers sure reason like cows

adconline: It's either you're arithmetically challenged to see the huge difference in number of kids going to school in Kano vs number of kids going to school in Anambra-- or maybe you are a beneficiary of the status quo- deny them education! Niaija has one of the highest child illiteracy rates in the world- all thanks to this type of ur denial.

Let me break down the numbers for dunces like you. The ratio of Kano to Anambra population is 2.3 : 1. So every 2.3 pupils going to school in Kano, Anambra should be sending 1 pupil, but the reverse reverse is the case.


Out of 66k Kano students only 18K got 5 credits and above with a pass rate of 27% while Anambra that registered 52k students, 34k got 5 credits and above with a pass rate of 65%. Makes you wonder if Boko Haram is going away soon?

Education budget: Kano 2014=N20.8bn; Anambra=N7.172bn. Explaining the numbers for dunces again! For every N3 Kano spends on education, Anambra , spends N1 : Ratio: 3 to 1.
Percentage of educational outcome: Kano: 27%; Anambra=65%.. It means that Anambra state is 38% more efficient and productive in training younger ones for university education than Kano with 1/3 of Kano's budget.

u wont hear from the daft again next he would do is come out swinging with abuse, that is what these flat head APC bums do when u throw a robust. Arguments at them just like their brainless leaders.

chinazaekperem2: you aren't a redeemer or you are a fake one, cos I am a redeemer in southeast and I know pastor bosun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FhYpKBKusQ

why are u replyng them anybody could claim whatever on the net.election is not far away. We shall see who the people would vote for some of this people ur arguing with dont even have a voters card dont bother yourself with them they only have one vote .

Ebola did not affect the rally it went on and pdp did not make noise about the rally. When TAN would want to hold their own rally APC would remember that there is ebola in Nigeria bunch of. Hypocrites

18 days to go. NBA maidugari

Babymama1: Amazing

The FG says they didn't send him
Stephen Davis says the FG didn't send him
Yet the people who insist the FG sent him (despite his denial) are not bold enough to brand him a liar
Because calling him a liar would make them look foolish for believing what he earlier told them boko haram told him about Ihejirika

You folks cannot have it both ways
It's either Davis is a liar or he is credible
If he is liar them everything he has said so far is a lie
If he is credible then he has spoken the truth
Why pick and choose which one go believe?

they dont use their brain cos it doesnt function well. they rely on APC propoganda as has been programmed into their medula .bunch of retards

barcanista: My friend fear God and stop lying to gullible minds. You are deceiving your bosses in Aso Rock and Wadatta Plaza. NRC is a fraud and all the whitewashing you are trying to do is Dead on Arrival. We all know a serious reform when we see one.if Jonathan means good, he should investigate the bogus claim of this report to ascertain its veracity or otherwise.
Good morning

ignorant fool bad belle go kill you, continue living in denial while nigeria moves foward under gej.

lakpalakpa: God bless you Rawani for the exposé.

Isn't it now obvious why many of us always take whatever we hear from this FG with a pinch of salt.

Bunch of shameless liars.

mumu the federal government has disowned him since june u hypocrites can keep on fooling yourselves thats what ur known for

Presidency disowns Australian Boko Haram negotiator
 
THE Presidency has nothing to do with Dr Stephen Davis, the Australian who was reported to be negotiating with Boko Haram insurgents to free the over 200 girls the terrorists abducted in Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State on April 14.
This is according to the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, who denied government’s knowledge of the negotiation when the Nigerian Tribune sought to confirm the authenticity of the claims made by Dr Davis, published in the United Kingdom-based MailOnline. 
Abati pointed out that the Defence Headquarters had already distanced the military from the purported negotiation, saying that the position of the presidency could not be different from the military because “the military is directly responsible for the operation and takes instructions from the president.”
According to the tabloid, Dr Davis had left his home in Perth to travel to Nigeria, after being recruited by President Goodluck Jonathan for his hostage negotiation expertise and Davis was now desperately trying to free the schoolgirls.
The medium reported that Dr Davis, a friend of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, had been working secretly in Nigeria for almost a month now, quoting the former Canon Emeritus at Coventry Cathedral in the UK, who moved back to Australia last year, to have said “I am encouraged by the progress.”
It added that he was asked to come to Nigeria after previously brokering a truce between violent rebels and the government in the Niger Delta in 2004.
MailOnline said in an email from Nigeria, the doctor revealed he had “ongoing contact” with the groups involved in the kidnapping in the North for seven years, adding that “this is a long process of building trust on both sides.”
The report further quoted him as “there are several groups to deal with, as the girls are held in several camps. This makes any thought of a rescue highly improbable. To attempt to rescue one group would only endanger the others.”
It noted that despite the difficulties of a rescue operation, Dr Davis remained hopeful that the schoolgirls would be freed, quoting him as saying, “everyday, there is the possibility of the release of the girls.”
According to the MailOnline, Dr Davis warned: “we must not endanger their lives any further,” noting that his recent negotiation work has been to forward military position in the North-East in recent days.
Sect has no basis in Islam —OICThe Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) has described members of the Boko Haram sect now wreaking havoc in parts of the country as outlaws, whose activities have no basis in Islam.
The Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Conference, Mr Eyad Ameen Madani, told State House correspondents after leading officials of the conference for a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday, that the organisation condemned the terrorists and expressed its willingness to assist Nigeria in any way to fight terror.
Asked about their mission at the Villa, he said “we are here primarily to listen to His Excellency on his vision about the OIC in the years to come. 
“We are also here to express our solidarity with Nigeria in facing up to this terrorist organisation and to condemn the terrorist acts they have been committing, we are also here to show our condolences to Nigerian people and to the families of those who have been affected. 
“The OIC has already issued statements and we are very clear that these people are outlaws. What they do is criminal acts that have nothing to do with Islam, Islamic teaching, the religion and history of Islam, the culture and civilisation of Islam and we should identify them for what they are, a terrorist group.”
The OIC scribe said the conference would be willing to assist Nigeria morally and ethically and whichever way the country wanted it to intervene. 
“The OIC is not a religious organisation. It is a political organisation made up of 57 member states with each state represented as a government. Nigeria is a member of the OIC as government of Nigeria. But it has to express the concern about the misuse of Islam. That is morally and ethically. 
“We can also be and we are willing to do that, if our brothers here will like us to do that, to organise interfaith dialogue. We feel that there is a lot to be said about the veracity of these claims and to show the many aspects in similarity in living together between not only Christians and Muslims, but between all faiths and convictions,” he said. 
Also speaking, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Aminu Wali, who led them to the Villa, reiterated the OIC’s expression of support and understanding with Nigeria over the current security situation in the country.
He added that it was a demonstration to Nigerians that the Islamic organisation was willing to help the country to overcome its present challenges.
According to the minister, “the fact that the OIC has expressed its position of support and understanding in these areas of our challenges goes to show that they are playing their roles to support any of its members states that have any problem, be it socially or economically, religiously or otherwise.”
