White House: Nigeria making progress in combating Boko Haram

X
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nigeria has made progress in combating Boko Haram although the Islamist militant group is still a threat, the White House said on Thursday, adding that the United States has assisted Nigerian authorities working to secure the release of schoolgirls kidnapped by the militants.

"The threat still remains and it is quite serious, and it is why the United States continues to be committed to supporting them as they counter that threat," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters at a daily press briefing.

*burst*

*Igbo*

Deltagiant:
This is not the first time a white would make this "white" observation about the Igbo people. There are so many of such observations in medieval anthropolgy. A cousin of mine, IGBO, with black features who lives in the US once told me how she was informed that her geneology showed traces of caucasian people. She was so surprised and decided to do it the second time elsewhere, and convincinly the result was the same.

The issue of Igbo and or semitic connection has been proved beyond reasonable doubt. GAD was the son of ERI, ARELI and ARODI in the Bible, Genesis 46: 16.

ERI, so pronounced, replicates as a man who founded Umu-Eri town. ARELI, so pronounced, replicates as a man who founded Agu-reli town and so with the Arodi and Aro town. Then the ancient courtyard/temple called Obu-Gad (the abode of Gad in Aguleri existing for thousands of years). How could all these be by happenstance? Then the unique hebraic customs of Igbo people....

Something un-negro about Igbo people? A resounding yes!

patrick89:
right now you should learn to stop seating on your brain!!! the project is a very bad one on the economy of the south south.. when did you from wastern region start caring for the south south?

PRXPERT:
I think the meme should be for you! The project will make south south a consuming region!!! I know what I'm saying!!! for example, go to any shop in bayelsa! 80percent of the contents are either foreign or from lagos, then this time around, it will be 100percent! this will kill every indigenous company in bayelsa.. we Igbos reason with our innermost brain that is designated for business, that's why we are seeing through this joke of a project... it were Abakaliki enugu onitsha Asaba akure sagamu lagos, we will still oppose it.... we know what you are capable of doing...

God bless th Op for this!

I have seen numerous doctored drawing of the Lagos-Calabar Rail route supposedly crossing into SE...THIS IS A LIE! SW people are employing this shenanigan to resurrect the project by deceiving SE people that the Rail will cross into SE..precisely at Onitsha! This is a fathom Lie! I'm getting accurate information from someone at the National Assembly that the real reason why they excise the project from the primary budget is...MARGINALIZED SE; WILL NOT CROSS INTO SE. Indirectly speaking, when you marginalized SE, you marginalize SS economically as both regions trade more compared to other regions. So rather, they moved to Supplementary Budget...explanation below!

You people have to understand how Federal Budget works...Every region has a stipulated amount cap they can submit in the budget; If SS primarily and SE did allow this project into the main budget, then SS will be short-changed heavily... why? Because 80 Billion Naira cost; China footing 20 billion naira actually, if apportioned between SW and SS is a huge cost for SS... when compared to SW, where Federal Budget for Lagos only is total of all SS; The senators having done their cost-benefit analysis of the project for SE and SS, came to the conclusion that it wasn't feasible and will not be beneficial to SE and SS. So rather than have the project in the main budget which will mean removing critical, life-changing projects in SS in order to accommodate it, they agreed and chose to move it to the supplemental budget at no cost to SS, where the president by discretion/executive leverage chooses projects to fund with federal funds...more like earmarked funds! The question now becomes...Will Buhari include the project in his supplementary budget? I doubt because he would have to remove 80 billon naira worth of projects in the North for his people to include it because he has a cap too...that's what SS and SE senators want him to do...Lol! Smart game by Eastern senators as it would be a win-win for the region! Even Ameachi consented to this by moving it to the supplemental!

To SW people...stop selling lies to us. Please stop! The project wasn't removed as has been circulating online with deceptive doctored route into SE but rather was moved from main budget to supplementary. We are not against the project, we...SW, SS and SE all want the project but has to be funded via supplementary budget only in order not to bankrupt SS...SE is just looking after SS!

Below is the actual image of the Lagos-Calabar Rail route by the Nigeria Coastal Railway...as you can see, it doesn't cross into SE as they are claiming. Their intent behind this deceptive, doctored supposed rail crossing into SE...is to deceive SE to support the project! Our SE and SS senators are not stu$pid...they analyzed the project critically on its benefits to SE and SS. None for now to have it in the main budget!

Igbo traders in Bayelsa State, yesterday, marched the streets of Yenagoa, the state capital, in protest of the continual murder of Igbo businessmen in the state capital by unknown gunmen suspected to be armed robbers and hired assassins.

They were particularly angry over the gruesome murder of Agodo Martins by gunmen at his Yenagoa residence early hours of Monday.

The hoodlums were said to have broken into the house of Martins, who owns a popular boutique called Omars Fashion Plaza at the Ompadec area of the Yenagoa-Mbiama Road.

It was gathered that the gunmen who stormed the house of Martins located at the Punch Road area demanded money from their victim.

The deceased reportedly told his assailants that there was no cash at home because shops in the capital city were shut down for about four days in honour of the late Governor of the state, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who was buried on Saturday.



After ransacking his house, the gunmen were said to have shot and killed Martin in cold blood in the presence of his new wife.

The traders led by the President, Ohaneze Youth Council (OYC), Chief Chinedu Arthur-Ugwa, also lamented that Martin was killed a few days after gunmen suspected to be assassins murdered another successful Igbo businessman, Ugochukwu, popularly called Ugo Best.

It was gathered that Ugochukwu was killed along the Azikoro village on his way home after business of that day.

A source who spoke in confidence said: “He was close to his house in company with his wife when gunmen operating in commercial tricycles blocked his car. They dragged him out of the car and forced into the tricycle.

“His corpse was discovered the next day at the Azikoro cemetery with his hands and legs tied up. He was a successful businessman who built a big house at the Azikoro village. We are scared”.

The traders also related how another businessman was gruesomely murdered at the Tombia area adding that others were being harassed and injured by arm-bearing youths.

The traders assembled at the front of Omars boutique, forced shops to close down and marched with anger to the state command of the police.

They were received by the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Peter Ogunyawo, and other senior police officers.

Presenting their grievances, Arthur-Ugwa said: “The Igbos are no longer safe in Bayelsa. We are being killed by gunmen. One was killed at Azikoro, the other one was killed at Tombia and today another one who just got married was killed in cold blood.

“We are not happy and we have closed down our business to come and tell you at the headquarters that we are not safe. If you cannot guarantee our safety, we will relocate our business and families out of the state. We are pleading for your assistance”.

Ogunyawo in his response, told the grieving traders that crimes exist everywhere and were not targeted at the Igbos.

He said death is one debt everybody must pay and that nobody knows how it will be paid.

He said the command was doing everything possible to check the crime wave in the state and asked the traders to furnish the police with information to enable them become effective.

“We can’t be effective if you don’t partner with us. Once you have feelings of any crime, let us know. You don’t need to run to anywhere because crimes exist everywhere”, he said.

Stolen:
Very good that u raised that point. U have to understand that their are no deep seaport in the whole SS/SE.

Wat u have in Onne is nothing more than a Riverport interms of capacity and machinery.

How can two regions with the largest access to sea front not have a Deep Seaport?

Yet u wonder Y our economy and currency are stagnating.

Stolen:
We are discussing economic interest, let us not turn it into tribal war. Grow up!

Stolen:
When u want to build a railway did u factor militant palaver?

Stolen:
Thank u for that contribution. The second niger bridge will lessen the burden on the Niger Bridge.


The railway project has no economic benefit to the SS/SE, it will not add anything to the GDP of Nigeria.


A deepseaport will not only provide employment but a source of earning foreign currency through trade and commerce.


The government should invest wisely.

TheBiafran:
did i read NIGER DELTA? i thought the SS and SE are not one?
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ANAMBRA is on another level though
