Politics / Chibok Girls’ Swap Political Decision – Chief Of Defence Staff by makzeze: 5:11am On Aug 16, 2016
The Chief of Defence Staff, Lt-General Abayomi Olonishakin, says only the political authorities can decide on the demand by Boko Haram militants to exchange the abducted Chibok girls with the sect’s detained members.
Olonishakin was addressing State House correspondents yesterday after a workshop organised for chief executives of government agencies held at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said the military would sustain its counter-insurgency operations.
In a video released by the sect weekend, a man clad in military uniform hanging an AK47 rifle had said some of the girls were still alive but would only be exchanged with Boko Haram members in the custody of Nigerian authorities.

“That (swapping of Chibok girls with detained sect members) is a political decision to be taken. The military decision is that we are going ahead with our operations. The operation is being conducted appropriately,” he said.
Olonishakin, who said the meeting was on how to handle all forms of crises including terrorism or flood, added the military was analysing the video and would make appropriate comments at the right time.

Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, also spoke on the sect’s swap request, saying: “Until you are able to ascertain the authenticity of those you are talking to, you don’t go into details.”

The minister restated that the government was in touch with the leadership of the sect but was being careful and cautious to ensure that they were talking to the right people especially with the reports of a split in the leadership.
“But what is important is the safety and security of these girls. The thrust of my statement was to ensure the nation that we’re on top of the situation. We’re not even just reacting to the video, we’ve gone far beyond the video in talking to the group already,” he said.

On the plan by the #BringBackOurGirls campaigners to match to the State House again, Mohammed said: “We appreciate their commitment to the return of these girls, but there are a few things we need to do behind the scene. What we’re saying is that the government is committed to doing everything to rescue these girls. We’re engaging them. By saying we’re talking to them, I’m talking from a point of knowledge. It does not matter what other people say. I know that the government is in touch with the group.”

The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Hameed Ali, said the workshop was arranged for chief executives to understand how to respond to emergency issues and be in the position to advise the president to take the right decisions under emergency cases whether on terrorism, flood or any other thing.

We’re not on the run, Salkida, Wakil, Bolori

Two of the three people declared wanted by the Nigerian Army over alleged ties with the Boko Haram have presented themselves to military authorities in Abuja and Maiduguri, saying their roles over the missing Chibok girls were clear to Nigerian authorities.
Barrister Aisha Alkali Wakil was at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja yesterday, while Ahmed Bolori was at the 7 Division Nigerian Army on Sunday and yesterday, even as Ahmad Salkida issued a statement from Dubai, saying he would soon be on his way home.
The Nigerian Army on Sunday declared journalist Salkida, Barrister Wakil and activist Bolori wanted.
A statement from army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman, said the three individuals had information on the conditions and the exact location of the Chibok girls but refused to tell the authorities.
“We are relying on the relevant laws of the land and in particular the Terrorism Prevention Act 2011 (as amended) where Nigerians could be punished for failure to disclose information about terrorists or terrorists’ activities,” he said.

Give me ticket to return home –Salkida
In a statement issued yesterday, Salkida, who is on self -exile in Dubai, UAE, said he would be glad if Nigerian authorities could give him air ticket to facilitate his return.
“Clearly, my status as a Nigerian journalist who has reported extensively, painstakingly and consistently on the Boko Haram menace in the country since 2006 is an open book known to Nigerians and the international community. Equally, my total allegiance and sacrifice to the Federal Republic of Nigeria is self-evident. I have stayed within the creed of professional journalism in my work.
“As a testimony to the credible and professional values of my access, since May 2015, l have been to Nigeria three times on the invitation of federal government agencies. I made personal sacrifices for the release of our Chibok daughters.
“Finally, the army is aware that I am not in Nigeria presently. In the coming days I will seek to get a flight to Abuja and avail myself to the army authorities. Indeed, my return will be hastened if the military sends me a ticket,” he said.

Aisha Wakil visits Army headquarters

The Nigerian army yesterday said Aisha Wakil, turned herself in at the army headquarters in Abuja.
The spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Colonel Sani Usman, told Daily Trust that she made herself available to investigators at the Army Headquarters.
Asked if she was detained, he said: “We did not say we were arresting people, they were invited to shed more light because from all indications they know more than they acknowledge publicly. Our own concern is to make sure we rescue all persons being held by the Boko Haram group including the Chibok girls so anybody with tangible information should come forward.”

Aisha Wakil had before her arrival in Abuja from Maiduguri yesterday issued a statement saying the Nigerian Army was clearly out for mischief by declaring her wanted.
“I know the Boko Haram boys. I had been in front fighting for peace long before the Chibok girls were kidnapped. Nigerian security knows me too well, I’m not shady. Why declaring me wanted?
“I have had meetings with the Chief of Army staff and his people. I told them the way forward, to allow me come with some commanders of Boko Haram and discuss with them, present the release of CBGs (Chibok girls) but they chose to do things their own way only and never gave considerations to any of my suggestions.
“I want to inform the Nigerian people of my innocence and make them realise that I am in constant relation with the security personnel and they know where to find me but I wonder why I had to be declared wanted on national news, even mentioning my husband’s name alongside.
“This has put my immediate and extended family under a lot of pressure and I do not deserve this from the Nigerian government,” she said.

I’m a good citizen –Bolori
On his part, Bolori, who kept updating his interaction with the military on his Facebook page throughout yesterday, said he would remain a good citizen because he took himself to the 7 Division Nigerian Army, Maimalari Barracks, on Sunday but was asked to go back home and return yesterday.
He said he went back at about 10am, signed the visitors’ register, waited for over one hour at the gate and thereafter asked to drive in.
“The army is now treating me friendly and peacefully, as a nice colonel by the name ‘Ahmed’ (a military police), just took me to his office to drink tea. May God help us,” he said.

Politics / Jibrin Apologises To APC Over Role In Dogara’s Emergence As Speaker by makzeze: 5:14am On Aug 15, 2016
The former chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has written a letter to the APC National Chairman, John Oyegun, apologising for his role in the emergence of Speaker Yakubu Dogara, against the wish of the party.
In a long letter dated Friday, August 12, Jibrin also called on the party to ask Dogara to vacate the speaker’s seat to allow for internal and external investigation without interference for sanity to return to the House.

Jibrin sought the APC’s forgiveness for leading a rebellion against the party last year, which preferred current House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, to Dogara as speaker.
Thus, he said, the party should nominate a speaker pro-tempo and mobilize its members to support him to take over and adjourn the House until when they would be due for resumption in September.

He said the party should also insist on internal reform of the activities of the House and ensure that the new speaker implements it fully and discuss the possibility of returning the N100bn constituency component of the 2016 budget.

The party had asked both Dogara and Jibrin to avoid making any further public comments on the budget controversy.
He said: “It took only a few weeks after the election for me to realize the corrupt and dangerous man inside the skin of Speaker Dogara. That was when I started getting reports of his corrupt practices for many years in the House undetected. I fell apart will Speaker Dogara instantly.

Contrary to public believe, we have never been close since few weeks after he emerged Speaker.”
Jibrin also accused Dogara of being the godson of Senator Iyiola Omisore from whom he alleged the speaker takes orders.
He said “It will be dangerous and potentially disastrous for the party to keep Speaker Yakubu Dogara on that seat. I wish to state that I deeply regret the role I played in the emergence of Yakubu Dogara as Speaker.”

Business / Meet Mansa Musa I Of Mali – The Richest Human Being In All History by makzeze: 10:03pm On Aug 12, 2016
When we think of the world’s all-time richest people, names like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and John D Rockefeller immediately come to mind.

But few would have thought, or even heard of, Mansa Musa I of Mali – the obscure 14th century African king who was today named the richest person in all history.

With an inflation adjusted fortune of $400 billion, Mansa Musa I would have been considerably richer than the world’s current richest man, Carlos Slim, who ranks in 22nd place with a relatively paltry $68 billion.

The list, compiled by the Celebrity Net Worth website, ranks the world’s 24 richest people of all time. The list advertises itself as the top 25, but 26 names appear in the list.

Although the list spans 1000 years, some aspects of wealth appear consistent throughout history; there are no women on the list, only three members are alive today, and 14 of the top 25 are American.

The list uses the annual 2199.6 per cent rate of inflation to adjust historic fortunes – a formula that means $100 million in 1913 would be equal to £2.299.63 billion today.

Mansa Musa I ruled West Africa’s Malian Empire in the early 1300s, making his fortune by exploiting his country’s salt and gold production. Many mosques he built as a young man still stand today.

After Mansa Musa I death in 1331, however, his heirs were unable to hang on to the fortune, and it was substantially depleted by civil wars and invading armies.

Second on the list are the Rothschild family, whose descendants are still among the richest people on the planet. Starting out in banking in the late 18th Century, Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s finance house accumulated a total wealth of $350 billion. The money has since been divided between hundreds of descendants, many of whom are business leaders today.

Meanwhile John D. Rockefeller, third on the list, is the richest American to have ever lived, worth $340billion in today's USD at the time of his death in 1937.

In comparison, the poorest man on the list is 82-year-old Warren Buffett, who at his peak net worth, before he started giving his fortune to charity, was $64billion.

Politics / 250 Former Civilian-JTF Members Join Nigerian Army In Maiduguri(photos) by makzeze: 8:15am On Jul 24, 2016
A total number of 250 ex-members of the youth vigilante, Civilian-JTF, who had been supporting the Nigerian military in the fight against Boko Haram, have concluded military training and have been fully inducted into the Nigerian Army.

The newly-recruited troopers on Friday stormed the Government House Maiduguri, on a “thank you” visit to the state governor, Kashim Shettima. They appreciated Mr. Shettima for helping them to be enlisted into the military.

The new soldiers, all clad in their combat fatigues, marched into the government house amidst cheers from their fellow Civilian-JTF members.
Benjamin Solomon, the leader of the team and commander of the parade, addressed the governor at the government house.
“We are here to say thank for making us become soldiers of our great country. We thank the president and we thank our father, the Chief of Army Staff, who ensured that we are soldiers today,” said Mr. Solomon.

“We are very many in the state and we are pleading that others too be given the same opportunity to become soldiers as well. We also have graduates among us who could also be given an opportunity to serve as officers of various military and paramilitary services. To us, it is now time to serve our country by laying down our lives to protect its territorial integrity”

“The emergence of the Civilian-JTF is a game changer in the fight against Boko Haram,” said Governor Shettima.
“One major issue that needs to be reported is the once strained relationship that existed between the people of our states and the military. But with the emergence of the Civilian-JTF the relationship became cordial. When the historical epoch of the Boko Haram insurgency is being written, the Civilian-JTF will have a chunk place of recognition.

“Today the one time stick-carrying youths have now become a thing of fear to the well armed Boko Haram who fear them more than even the conventional military.

“I thank the president of the country, and the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, for helping us to absorb our gallant youth into the Nigerian Army. We are not going to stop at this; we are not going to get tired in going after all the service chiefs as we are going to keep knocking on their doors until all our Civilian-JTF members are into various military and paramilitary outfits.
He called on the soldiers to be proud ambassadors of Borno State.

“Don’t bring us shame while you are out there serving the country. We would have preferred all of you to be deployed to Borno state; but since you are the Nigerian Army soldiers and not Borno soldiers, we bid you to go to wherever you are posted and deal with all enemies of the country the way you dealt with Boko Haram terrorists,” he said.

Earlier, the state attorney general and commissioner of justice, Kaka Lawan, had said that other batches of the Civilian-JTF would soon be absorbed into the Nigeria Police and other agencies.
He said 30 of the youth vigilante had already been taken by the Department of State Security (DSS) as junior personnel.

I think had it been the site existed uptill now, it would have been competing with the likes of olx, jiji etc.
