Boko Haram has asked the displaced residents of communities it
took over in Adamawa state to return to their homes.
The terrorist group assured the residents of better security in the
“Islamic Caliphate than in Nigerian territories”.
A resident of Uba town, Salisu Baba, said normal activities have
started picking up in the captured territories as Boko Haram
enjoined residents to go about their normal activities and open
their shops for business.
Mr. Baba said the insurgents have assured them of security and
freedom.
He said unlike in other parts of the state where curfew has been
imposed and people prevented from riding motorcycles, the
insurgents have assured residents of free movement at anytime
of the day.
“(The terrorists) are threatening that anyone who fails to open
their shop will have it broken into,” he said.
The Deputy Governor of Borno state, Zanna Mustapha, had said
in Yola on Monday that going by the ease with which Boko
Haram was capturing territories in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe,
the three North-Eastern states would soon be history.
“If the Federal Government does not add extra effort, in the next
two to three months, the three North-Eastern states will no
longer be in existence,” he said. “The Federal Government has
tried its best but their best is not enough because rather than
going after the insurgents, it is the insurgents that are going
after us. It is a big crime that the criminals are better equipped
than the military and they are just few kilometres from the
Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states capitals.”
He said the continuous occupation of more towns by Boko
Haram had confirmed the Borno state governor’s statement that
the terrorists possessed superior weapons.
He disclosed that 13 local governments in Borno, three in
Adamawa and others in Yobe were currently under the control
of Boko Haram. He said, going by intelligence reports, if the
Federal Government did not step up its security measures the
fall of the three states would only be a matter of days or weeks.
Mr. Mustapha expressed his doubts on the purported ceasefire
agreement between the Federal Government and the terrorists.
The Borno deputy governor spoke in Yola shortly before a
former Vice President and Presidential aspirant, Atiku
Abubakar, lamented, in Abuja, the ease with which towns in the
North-East were falling into the hands of the insurgents.
Atiku wondered why the Nigerian government was unable to
overwhelm Boko Haram despite the claim by the administration
that an increase in the country’s security budget would help
relevant agencies and the military tackle the insurgency.
“The situation in which we find ourselves today is grave,” the
former vice president said. “Much of Borno, and the north of
Adamawa and Yobe states is already at the mercy of the
terrorists. It started a few months ago with Bama, which is
nearly 400 kilometres from Yola, capital of Adamawa State.
“The next major town to be taken by terrorists was Gwoza,
where a terrorist caliphate flag has long been hoisted.
Smaller towns near Gwoza such as Pulka and Limankra are
equally not free. Next was Madagali. The town is still being
occupied. Then fell Gulak. Next was Michika, then Bazza. Next
was the twin town of Uba which is half Adamawa and half
Bornu. Its neighboring town of Lassa was also overrun. Uba was
the latest town captured before the terrorists trampled on Mubi.
People from these troubled areas are now pouring into Yola for
safety.

kibi:
i just spoke with a friend of mine who has been having marital challenges and she says the hubby has given her a condition for their make up - submit your salary to me at the end of every month.
i really dont like being in the middle of marital squables cos i wouldnt want anyone in mine so i told her to pray and talk it out with her husband though it did get me thinking, whats the rationale behind that condition...for men in the house who do this please enlighten me cos i dont support it.

I have come to realise some women lose sanity ones they control cash. They more often post the "I can do without you" attitude which most times irk the menfolk. So to put that in check, you make her dependent.

Jesus Christ abbors TV?!!!... All this lies you are sharing, there is God oooo!

I said they shouldn't shift grounds on the things Christ abhors, I didn't say he abhorred TV. Sweetie m, read again o.

You knew all this while that there was absolutely no reason a bag of cement should cost that much, yet you held Nigerians by the jugulars eekwa?

Change they say is constant. But I wish the Church would not shift grounds on those things clearly abhorred by Christ himself.


Thank you

Well, elections can be held in safe locations. There must be one in 2015

I met Chisom drawing by a table in front the house and stopped by to question her for composure.
Nkem's father appeared through the door and made for the gate like someone who was in a hurry only to pass a glance towards my direction, muttering a response to my salutation, he spread a beckoning hand towards Nkem and guided her to himself like I was going to harm her by merely looking at her, she kept a straight face and hurriedly walked through the narrow passage dragging her footwear along. In her arm was my other love, a child we brought into the world and with promised dreams to give her the very best, she seemed to have grown a lot since I saw her last, I quickly recalled the last day I spent with her and a realisation of the phenomenonal stages of her life that I have missed swept through me.

That Sunday had started just like any other day, I had been withdrawn for quite a while and spent most of my days indoors. I had been expecting Nkem and her Dad, I only wish they would come along with my little princess so I could have a chance to see her after such a long time.

I was engrossed in this state of mind when I heard a knock on my door and a voice informing me of their arrival, I impulsively asked if they brought my sweet daughter along, I got an answer in the affirmative and set to meet them.

I hurriedly did the room, took my bath and brushed my teeth.

I really missed Nkem and our daughter, it pained me so much why she would decide to leave after all we had been through together and the promises I believe our togetherness holds. I was finding it too difficult a pill to swallow, but knew that you don't force someone into staying with you when they want to leave, Dolly Parton's song when someone wants to leave had been my favourite whenever I thought about what was happening.

She had gone to the landlord's house with her father on arrival, and I knew it wouldn't take long before I am being summoned. I did occasionally peep through the window when it was taking too long for me to be summoned, it was during one of such moments that I saw the landlord alight from a motorcycle, and at that instant I knew why he had not sent for me earlier.

Ten minutes later, Chidi came knocking on my door, I wanted to appear ignorant and play cool, so I took my time before answering the door and subsequently proceeding to the landlord's apartment.

loving is not the problem...
Loving the wrong person right
Loving the right person at the wrong time
These are the problems

As I lay on the cold floor of the police cell, having just a dirty torn carton for bed, among common criminals, wishing that both morning and sleep comes fast, I just couldn't help to ponder on what they told me

guys are here because we were hustling, and you are telling a stupid story of being here because of love

How could I ever imagine I would spend my first night in detention just because I loved someone?

But that was my story...

I don't know about the Ekiti school,but this is not the first time that ABSU will be producing a first class candidate at the Nigerian law school.

I don't have a problem with the correctness or otherwise of the post, but with the inability of most commentators to comprehend the essence of the post.

alentyno:
Do you have sense @ all?

They bagged 1st class in nigeria law school!

We aint talking about their alma mater!

little wonder our graduates are not regarded. Yes, they bagged first class from the NLS, but that would be the first time someone from their schools, made first class @ the NLS. It is not that someone has not made a first class there, but certainly not someone from the schools they came from.

It is just like the hype that would accompany Nigeria winning the world cup, it won't be because the world cup has never been won, but because no African nation has won it before.

Do you get it now or is there a need for me to break it down to you like a nursery school pupil?

alentyno:
Excellent!

Btw where are the peeps from the supposed Great ife supposed better by far unilorin UNN? UNILAG? ABU? Anybody?

comprehension problem? They are the first from their respective schools to achieve such feats, not necessarily the only ones. Read again !

bukatyne:
It was until you said how long the pain lasts.

I am a woman, I have not had a baby before so I keep quiet when mums tell me about their experiences.

You a man is telling us how long birth pain lasts despite the fact that you have not even asked your wife; you are saying what you believe she would say.

Issokay

u prolly didn't read me well. She wouldn't say anything different. She did a lot of research during her pregnancy and let me in on everything that informed her choices.

I maintain that labour pain doesn't last. Unless of course you mean other pains associated with child birth which could be as a result of incisions and all that.

So long as you've not given birth, take it that I have a better idea than u do.

Well, going by ma labour room experience, if it was even possible for women's womb to be put outside their body, just to avoid d sufferings, i'ldd efinitely vote a yes. It didn't dey easy. Lol.

The Youths Of Burkina Faso Stare Down AK 47 Wielding Soldiers To Topple Blaise Campaore's Dictatorship

Could Nigerians Ever Do This?

it depends on the set of youths, who is to be toppled and who was going to take over. I know our politicians have cult followership who could do anything for them.

babyosisi:
Nonsense!
Flair of childbirth ,my placenta!
It is a good option,anyone who can get it should grab it fast

Aunty, na fight?

bukatyne:
I didnot know that men now give birth

well I was with her in the delivery room and was remotely connected to her. I am saying what I believe she would say. It was about whether or not one would use an epidural, remember?

bukatyne:
What is the flair of childbirth?

Pain?

well, it never lasts beyond labour.

No. My sweetheart did a research on its use during her pregnancy, while it ensures there are no labour pains, it takes away the flair of childbirth. Besides its administration is said to be a specialist area and could go severely wrong. She told me, I can't really say I know.

Will be heading there. Are u

Wetin concern us?

Yes, Agbero too na work

Why must it always matter where someone is from? The way our so-called youths go about this north/south thing has made me lose hope in our generation.

Serves him right. All these money miss road landlords without an atom of human sympathy.
