My guy don't let anybody fool you go for Germany Mistake. The best car ever

Can anybody tell me why moslems always argue that islam is a peaceful religion? Maybe the French are tired of peace

This dude is a national monument that should be kept in a museum out of harms-way.

The Federal Government is planning to launch joint military operations with countries in the Chad Basin as a solution to the armed insurgence of Boko Haram, the Islamic militant sect that has claimed responsibility for the serial bombings in the North.

Besides Nigeria, other countries in the Chad Basin are Chad, Niger and Cameroun.

Intelligence reports in the past weeks have confirmed that members of the sect have training camps in the deserts of Chad and Niger Republic where they receive terrorism trainings from the dreaded al-Qaeda sect.

Also, some of the Boko Haram suspects in police custody have been identified as nationals of Niger.

SUNDAY PUNCH authoritatively gathered that some of the soldiers for the joint military operations into the Sahara desert are currently part of the joint-task force in Maiduguri, where the Boko Haram sect has carried out most of their attacks.

A highly placed intelligence source said the Federal Government had approved the collaboration with both countries for effective intelligence gathering, adding that it was crucial in finding solution to the Boko Haram security menace.

The source said, “You will recall that some members of the sect that are currently being tried are from the Niger Republic. While performing our own functions, we need the assistance of our neigbours to fight the menace.”

According to him, the terms of operation of the joint military operations will soon be finalised.

SUNDAY PUNCH further learnt that a meeting of the Chief of Defence Staffs of the countries in the West African sub region had been called to deliberate on international terrorism and the worsening security situation in Nigeria, which climaxed in the bombing of the UN building in Abuja on August 26, 2011.

The Director of Information at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja, Col. Mohammed Yerima, when contacted on the telephone, said the Chief of Defence Staff would address the press on the issue at the appropriate time.

Yerima said, “The Chief of Defence Staff has the right to plan his operations and he will address the press at the appropriate time.

“The only thing I can tell you is that this thing involves all the agencies, which are collaborating to guarantee security in the society. The Customs, the Immigration, the SSS, every group must play its role effectively.”

Apart from the huge regional attention given to upsurge of terrorist activities in Nigeria, the Military High Command had reached an agreement with the United Nations for a possible collaboration on the matter.

Also, another intelligence source said that the State Security Service was making preparations to establish “a full directorate for border security in the country.”

The source explained, “The SSS is increasing its activities at the nation’s borders. They are checking the borders to prevent questionable characters from moving into the country.

“Another thing is that they are deploying more operatives to the border; they are also working hand in hand with security agents from border countries.

“Those working at the borders are under the Transport Control Unit; they are most likely to have a directorate for border patrol with all these developments. It has been on for some time now and with this development; they may come up with it.”

Earlier, the Minister of Information and Orientation, Mr. Labaran Maku, in an interview in Abuja, confirmed that a lot of security surveillance was going on with heavy deployment of troops in some of the hot areas.

He confirmed that the FG was also paying attention to the Chad Basin in order to make sure that criminal activities did not happen at the borders.

Maku spoke in a radio programme monitored by one of correspondents.

He said, “A lot of attention is also being given to the Chad Basin countries — Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria — because there are a lot of cross-border activities in terms of crime.

“So the national security team led by the President is examining this whole region to ensure that countries that have borders in the Chad Basin take advantage of the current reality to beef up security and check cross-border movement between us and the movement of criminal activities between our boundaries.”

He said the FG had directed state governors to also make sure that they tackled security in their states and local government council levels.

This, he said, was one of the resolutions reached at last week’s Council of State meeting, which was presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said it was not right to accuse the security agencies of laxity, adding that most of the crimes being witnessed now had been detected in the past.

According to the minister, “Most of the time, our security agencies are on top of it, they give out information, give out warning as to crisis that will emanate.

“But incapacity to take a quick political decision when it comes to tackling security threat has been the problem.”

Time for real serious action against the BH bastards

what's the argument about? if 50 wasn't convinced, i'm sure he wouldn't have offered that kind of money to keep the tittle. imagine 50 offering $1m to someone! guys, he was sucked in you know where!

I feel very sorry for the poor girl. Actions like this will make people in authority to sit up and stop behaving as if they own nigeria. If the callous teacher can beat a child to that extent, she must also be ready to face the consequences. ACTION AND REACTION ARE EQUAL AND OPPOSITE. You must answer for your actions- that's what can move this country forward.

Outstrip:
No marriage is not a fight. If you want to sentence yourself to a life of struggle then put on fatigues and go off to war. This whole idea of a mistress sharing his bed and you sharing his life is hog wash. Who told you that you share his life. Please this is just a lie women tell themselves to accomodate their failures. If a woman does a better job than you in pleasing your husband sexually while you pat yourself on the back because "you are sharing his life" then you have failed as a wife. The woman sharing his bed does she have two heads. I don't even know what philosophy you go by. It's like you have that mentality of letting him fail and then he will come back running. That does not only make him a bad husband but it also makes the woman weak as a human being not even as a woman. If the only time he wants you is when he is ashamed then he is definitely better off with the mistress

My dear, you have hit the nail on the head. God bless you for these beautiful words. Its time woman wakes up to face the realities of the changing times

Let us pray

why all this celebration of a broadcast that was rehearsed?

you think this is hardtalk?

the CinC is being interviewed by a person who will lose his job if he looks bad , so what gives?

sort of like calling a fellow who gets all As after seeing expo brilliant

bad belle

Pity some pple just say whatever come into their mind. Agreed that for any govt to function well, there must be an organised and clear thinking opposition, whose ideas must be concrete enough to keep the ruling govt on its toes but coming up with abuses to demean the integrity and personality of those in govt is not constructive opposition but self edifying hallucinations. Let Buhari and his cohorts come up with constructive criticisms-the type that can move this country forward and not some childish selfish derogatory statements that will further incite and worsen the already bad security situation that this country is facing right now.

Those people look like people struggling to survive the flood or people enjoying the natural swimming pool God gave them?. Look at the picture again and tell me whether they are struggling to stay afloat the water or swim across the water. Are you kidding me?

It seems you need more power glasses to see! you were obviously not aware of the devastating nature of the Ibadan flood. A lot of lives were lost in that unfortunate flood. It was the efforts of people like those guys that helped saved some lives. They were the heroes of the flood. Here you are, fortunate to be in front of a keyboard and typing the most callous words about people trying to save peoples' lives and properties. Please mind what you say when other people are facing unfortunate situations.

this is just not funny. its time these jihadists know that violence begets violence and not exclusive to islam and the north. though i agree that some moslems may not be all that violent, the religion has become synonymous with violence as a result of inferiority complex they have developed for themselves. this is what makes them so violent against the xtians. this is what makes them imperialists and very corrupt. the Christians are very patient but the moslems should know that there is limit to human patience.

The sad part is Patrick doesnt know he is a clown.Aribisola and Jakumo however do know .In my Opinion this tqo have done more for the country thatn the offical clown who was elected into the House of Represenattives. I sincerely loathe that guy.

AND YOU THINK HE CARES!

There's nothing to worry about cos its natural. You do not even know it until people start referring to you as baba or mama. A friend of mine enrolled in one of these GCE lesson classes. He said he completely forgot himself and immediately adapted in the class until someone called him baba. At first, he was wondering how a 'baba' entered the class until someone close to him touched him saying its you, you are baba. Since then, he respects himself while in class as a baba to his classmates

seriously, on my way to the farm while she was going to the stream. I just couldn't concentrate for the remaining part of that day. IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Why bother asking a dunce? it is in their nature to have "luck" whenever something terrible happens.

You are high on paraga

Chei, Adedibu is finding his way back to Nigeria!

The guy just remembered the race for 2015 that's all

This is laughable! I can't see myself arguing with retards who cannot make a sentence without insults and abuses. It runs in their generation of bad losers, especially now that the tune has changed and their legs are so rickety that they their steps refuse to agree with the new song. I careless all the same. ----walks away

if i can't have it, lets destroy it syndrome of the imperialist is gradually disintegrating our poor nation. but our GOD is good and patient. All those dis-creditors will definitely be discredited and their actions and utterances will result to had i known. I'm very sure of this

I doff my hat for the Nigerian Pilot. Good job

The same elders that lead us to this present state?  
- No Electricity
- No good roads
- No jobs
- Poverty all over the place, young men turn to robbers, 419, fraudters etc, young women turn to LovePeddlers
- No adequate infrastructure etc

It would have been better if Bakare had called our past looters idiots. Please look at his speech again and note how he used the word through out the speech. He said he refused to be angry, was that true?. He deliberately avoided some names but was very bold in mentioning others. was that honest? if Bakare must comment on national interest, he most say it the way it is not by hiding and throwing stones at select passer-by. To earn national respect, let him tell the truth undiluted and without fear.

This is most unfortunate for a man that calls himself a pastor. The truth about his speech is that his congregation is made up of idiots. He is very quick to mention IBB and GEJ but failed to mention other looters before them. His selfish intentions did not allow him admit that BK is all about aborted dreams of the imperialists and has nothing to do with national interest. He has blinded and deafened himself to call his elders IDIOTS. Let Bakare make a sacrifice like setting himself ablaze like what happened in Algeria and let see if the so called idiots will remain as idiots. Bakare is such a bad looser! we must all now fight for him to realise his dreams so he wont regard us all as idiots! BAKARE MUST REMOVE HIS POLITICAL AMBITION FROM THE PULPIT else, he will be disappointed on the last day.

A falling man must find something to hold unto even if its a cobweb

Ignorance is a disease. understand a situation first, before jumping to conclusions. most of the views on this tread are based on ignorance. military regimes have no respect for disloyalty. obey an order the exact way it was given. that's the tradition!

I wonder what u pple want d pastor to do. it has pleased GOD to give long life to IBB, there's nothing any of us can do about that. do you want the pastor to abuse him? revenge belongs to GOD and we are told to love our neighbours as ourselves. 'the ways of man is not the ways of GOD' Happy birthday to you sir, i wish many happy returns. let GOD alone judge! and leave the pastor alone to speak his personal views as directed by his spirit

good nite everybody tomorrow's Monday

disappointment! I ought to be sleeping by if not for that unusual equalizer. tomorrow's Monday with its usual go slow in lag
