LAGOS—Nigerian Muslim clerics living in the border towns of Cameroon and Nigeria are recruiting Boko Haram members in their mosques, the government of Cameroon has alleged. Worse still, government officials in the North East states of Yobe, Borno and Adamawa collaborate with the terrorists and take bribes from them, thereby, hindering the fight against the terrorists. Governors of these states also capitalise on their civilian fears to berate the army and the federal government. These allegations were published in a report, yesterday, by US-based online military news agency, StrategyPage. The magazine explains that the army wants governors in the affected states removed because “many officials in those states are cooperating with Boko Haram (to avoid attack) and are taking bribes from the Islamic terrorists “Some of these officials are covering themselves in case Boko Haram should gain power and the governors are often just responding to civilian fears of army misconduct,” it noted. The magazine said: “Cameroon is also concerned about pro-Boko Haram clerics from Nigeria quietly preaching and recruiting for Boko Haram in Cameroon mosques. “Islamic conservative clergy are not unusual on either side of the border, but those who do not denounce Boko Haram are suspected of quietly recruiting young men to join the “jihad” (struggle) and fight (and often die) in Nigeria. These preachers have to recruit quietly because otherwise police in Cameroon will arrest and deport them, sometimes after a vigorous interrogation. Evidence of this recruiting is showing up when some of the recruits return from Nigeria with tales of disillusionment and adversity while with Boko Haram,” the report said. The magazine said that the Cameroonian government is “being criticized because recent claims of large (over 5,000 weapons) arms seizures near the Nigerian border could not be verified by reporters. Civilians living in villages near where the government said the seizures took place said they saw nothing. The government responded that the smugglers operated in remote areas and avoided civilians as well as security forces. There are also concerns that even if weapons were seized they would, as often happens, be sold back to black market arms dealers so that government officials could keep the cash.” On the military, the report said: “Residents of those three states have justifiable complaints about the army, in particular the casual attitude of the military towards the safety of civilians and their property. “The army is also unreliable when it comes to sharing information on casualties. Thus Boko Haram related deaths so far this year are believed to be (based on local reports) at least 1,500, which is 50 per cent more than what the army reports. Boko Haram related deaths from 2010 to 2013 were about 3,600, so the violence is not declining. “The government has been saying, for several years, that Boko Haram would be crushed within a year and never happens. More insightful observers point out that the problem is mainly one of corruption and poverty, as well as the appeal of Islamic radicalism as a magical cure. All of Nigeria suffers from corruption. “Poverty is more prevalent in the Muslim north, in part because of climate. That’s because the semi-desert Sahel region south of the Sahara Desert is found in the north. Another problem is the more conservative nature of Islamic populations and the lower education levels.”

Another MMM Scam. Everybody beware.

These TSTV guys are actually reckless. I am really surprised that they brought the minister into this.
I believe that this is another MMM. Buyers beware. This is based on the following:
1. Bein sports acquired the EPL, Champions League and Laliga only for MENA (Middle East and North Africa). They do not have the right for Nigeria. DSTV owns the rights for Nigeria till 2019. You cannot give what you do not have. When a new service is launched, you have to wait for the next bidding round to have a shot at acquiring the rights. You cannot jump in the middle and start showing it. Things are not done that way in the PayTV world.

2.
A lot of channels listed like CNN, National Geographic, Discovery etc were acquired by DSTV on an exclusive basis for DTH in sub-saharan Africa by DSTV. Channels like Star Movies, MBC2, etc are only cleared for middle east and Asia. I really doubt that they have the rights to those channels. They may show it for one or two months before they are asked to take them off air.

3.
I check with a content aggregator on the cost per subscriber for these channels, assuming they can buy the rights, it came out the about 23 USD per month. That is excluding the sports channels. Based on today's naira exchange rate of 365 naira to a dollar, the cost is 8,395 Naira per subscriber. The content owners globally charge per month for their content. They do not charge per week or part of the month. The content owners dictate the terms. Nobody can pay 8395 Naira and charge 3000 Naira. Not possible.

4.
The cost of decoder package is as follows - decoder 25 USD, smartcard 4 USD, dish is 5 USD. Total is 34 USD (12410 naira). If we add shipping and clearing, you can get 15,000 Naira. To charge 5000 Naira for the package, you will need a lot of cheap money from bank to fund the decoder purchase. Buying 15,000 and selling 5000 sounds interesting to me.

5.
To do internet via satellite, you need VSAT equipment which is expensive compared to the dish/lnb you need to receive dstv. Minimum cost of vsat equipment should be not less than 50,000 Naira. If you use the traditional dish equipment, you can only receive. You cannot do internet with it. Unless TSTV will supply you 40,000 Naira vsat equipment for 5000 Naira.

6.
I went to lyngsat and checked the ABS 3A satellite, I did not see any information about any TSTV channels. Lyngsat is the database of all channels currently on satellite.

7.
When you launch a new DTH platform, you start with a test transmission. This allows you to work through some issues that might come up. It also gives people chance to see some of your channels to make sure they are real before committing their money. There is no test transmission from TSTV.

8. EFCC Fraud Charges
EFCC arrested this guy last year for fraud. Not credible.
http://motherhoodinstyle.net/2016/01/23/doctor-who-proposed-marriage-to-wifes-close-friend-4-months-after-her-death-dumped-after-hes-nabbed-by-efcc/


In conclusion, people should ask enough questions before investing their hard earned money. If it is too good to be true, it's probably is. Let this not be another MMM.

Your account was registered just yesterday to spite another man's business? Even if TSTV isn't good we will buy it. To hell with your foolish analysis. You said decoder can't be sold less than 15k? Lol, unku startime decorder is sold for 6k with 1 month full subscription.

hopyroll:
Hmmmm
Thank God he is not a Muslim.
Had it been he is a Muslim, the post would have gotten over a thousand comments.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? Calm down bro, he is a muslim. ISIS has claimed him, he joined you guys few months ago. Besides you know it is impossible to be a terrorist without belonging to the religion of *peace*

ChimaAgbalajob:
Nigeria is ALWAYS paranoid about France.

If anyone is funding IPOB, it is the United States.
However, Nigeria knows it's always a good game to blame France in order to fan the rivalry between England and France and thus get British support by feeding on their fears and suspicion of France.

the UK isn't that gollible

HiddenShadow:

Once this news is confirmed true that Kanu is dead, forget One Nigeria.


They will be no dialogue and Buhari's region will be the new theater of terror.


Pls pray harder for it.

I reject this news in it's entirety

Alexis11:
Funny how some people did not see anything wrong with KANU hate speeches.


May the blood of innocent Igbos that is about to be spilled in this country be upon Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB miscreants.

May the blood spilling begin from your home and make sure it finishes every body and then it stops at your door

DonVikings:
I smell suya in the North!

Hope your mother is in the north?

I don't really understand this bubu. This man is an error

EponOjuku:
Let me explain something here.

This is similar to what happened before the civil war. After Major Kaduna Nzeogwu killed Ahmadu Bello, SL Akintola, Tafawa Balewa and others, he refused to kill Igbo leaders.

The Igbos in the north started taunting the Hausas about the killing of the Sardauna. The next thing that followed was the pogrom which led to the recall of all Igbos in the North.

Eventually, a few million Igbos had to pay for the foolishness of a minority.

50 Years later, Kanu proposed going on to Lagos to taunt the Yorubas and Kaduna to taunt the Hausas. Also, the Hausas have given the Igbos an ultimatum and the Ohaneze has called for a return of all Igbos just like 1967.

The Northerners have closed shop and the soldiers have their boots on ground. I'm having a feeling of dejavu. I'll keep my fingers crossed and my gunpowder dry. Another 3M are about to be harvested again.

Start counting from your mother, your father, your ist uncles, your 1st aunties, your village people and your entire generation

U get hons when u finish ur program in the normal number of years. e.g finish a 4 years course in 4 years....whereas u get just a b.sc when u spend more than 4 years for a 4 years course

I don't blame you, I only blame the children liking the trash you typed above. I don't know when it became compulsory to comment on every topic even the one you lack the slightest clue. Op in Nigeria there is no different. But in some countries where we borrowed the terminology from, there is slight different. Actually BSC hons may require extra one year, some times bsc hons takes like four year while bsc takes three years to complete. So in such countries, preference is normally given to to the bsc hons holder by employers. But in Nigeria such is not the case. You can see someone graduating from a particular depertment of a given university with bsc hons in a 4-year program and you still see another person graduating from the same course in the same 4 years from another university with bsc. Employers in Nigeria are not concerned with all that. We just borrowed the nomenclature without application

Endtime wife; this story get K-Leg!!

She got what she wanted.
I keep saying it, "Na only preek dey make woman find man go im house."
Why will a woman visit a man if not for preek hunger?

1).Why didn't she send her husband to collect the clipper back?

2).Why didn't she send one of her three children?

3.)What took her to the barbers house; maybe she wanted him to shave her pubic hair?

4).Why didn't she wait outside?
I pity the fools who will believe her half-cooked story.

I keep telling all my female friends, don't come to visit me if you don't have any sexual intentions.

You can't come to my house to drink malt and watch Telemundo. There is something I have that you don't have; something that brought you, which is the preek.

Besides if a woman visits you and you don't make any sexual attempt on her, she'd tell the world that either you are a sissy or you are gay.

Uncle Nwamaikpe you can't hide. This is just like omenka to omenka live to progressive1 and all those funny names

edeXede:


The judge is bias. Just because he killed only one lady.
And so?
Is he not a soldier binded by the martial or military law to kill his enemy at will?
I can bet it with my life that the woman had killed a lot of babies in form of terminated pregnancy.
It was Karma that visited the lady. Rubbish.

The judge should receive sense in Nnamdi Kanu's name. Amen.

Are you related to NwaMaikpe? Just asking though

Who is the bigger curse?...

GEJ who got deceived by ASUU to make an impossible promise to ASUU but ended up not fulfilling a single part of the promise despite the fact that his government earned over 5 times more than Buhari and also spent twice the time in Aso Rock than Buhari... GEJ is a saint whom you miss but you think Buhari who inherited the N850billion debt from GEJ and is struggling to clear it in this time of low finances is the cursed one in this matter?

Some of these Jonathanians, e be like say una get migraine.

THE OURMUMUDONDO crew will not protest this one ... Billions spent on vehicles as if they are changing diapers , these are the same idiots who by Ferraris , Armored Range Rovers , Tear nylon Prado jeeps


Teachers require to move from one spot to another

Hospitals need emergency vehicles to move patients from places to another

Civil servants need vehicles to move from one place to another

Several other public servants need to move from one place to another

But i don't see anybody earmarking billions for them now or in the future

The "Ourmumudondo" is just a particular group protesting against our absentee president. You can organize another protest against the NAS

How come everyone is allowed to comment in Christian section but one has to swear to believe in Allah and Muhammed before you comment in Christian section? can you remove the discrepancy?

tossie101:
Yes this is what i was talking about.
U hav clearly become the enemy of igbo unity.
Shame on u. A fellow woman for for that matter.

When some people say anambarians are the problems of igbo disunity bcoz of their ego.
I find it hard to believe because of my good anambra friends.

This ur type of comment u cannot hear from any yoruba person nomatter their differences.
just over night u changed and became the enemies of ndigbo.
SHAME ON U!.
But i promise u one thing my dear as long as im here u wont have it eazy on ur plan among my people.

my guy you obviously lack exposure as per Yoruba and house. A man from Ekiti believes they are the most educated Yoruba. That's not a crime and it doesn't mean Yorubas are divided. This Igbo disunity is stale already. Abeg look for another story

Bakrabas:
Those who referred to as the father of terrorism did not have Islam background rather they were the instruments of Christianity and Jewish

Adolf Hitler

The Zion extremist in Palestine

Go and read the Reign of Terror in Europe

Read about those that caused world wars

Read about 30years and 50years wars

Read about the theory of John Calvin on the black race

There's no single place where the word "sword" is mentioned in Al-qur'an

But there are more than 20 places where the words "kill, strike, sword, smite,... In the Christian bibles e.g " go and smite the Amalek utterly destroy what they have do not spear them kill both man and woman, kill ox, cattle, infant and suckling "this is contain in the 1st Sam 15 vs2-3. This is one of the chapters that inspired Boko haram

But mind you Boko haram are neither Muslims nor Christian because they killed both Muslims and Christian, they bombed both mosques and churches, they killed Imams and pastors. BH are blood thirsty group of heartless people that do not know what they want, their mission, vision and what they are killing for... What a fail group Boko haram.

They only hide behind the religion so as to obstruct the peace of steady growing nations by the world powers.

This people were sponsored to halt the advance of any nation that believe is capable to stand on its own without looking westward nor eastward but forward.

But now that we battling with insecurity and other constraints that are strategically caused by our predators, then how can we think of development

Those that we elected are not helping the situation, our Mis-leaders

Sorry bro for attacking you in my aforementioned statements. I am really sorry but the religion never be our problem but the problem is our thieves that sponsored Boko haram to obstruct the peace of our nation so that we'll remain stagnated

I think it high time, we should not give those Bh oxygen to breathe so that they can suffocate to their early grave

Your level of delusion is not of this world. Boko Haram is not Islam you said? Your reason being because they kill Christians and Muslims alike. On the other hands you said Hitler and co were Christians. Lemme me ask you, who and who did Hitler killed? Was he not attempting to annihilate Jehovah's witnesses? Where the Jews that he almost obliterated Muslims? You also denied the mention of violence and sword in the Koran? My brother this is 21st century where information are not farfetched. Let me help you with quranic passages where your prophet though Boko Haram what they are doing. Quran 8:12 – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them” . I don't have to quote the whole Quran to debunk your lies. In my profession we believe the present is the key to the past, so if the Hitler et Al you mentioned where indeed Christians as you claimed, we would still be having Christian terrorist now. I've come to the conclusion that Islam is not just advanced by terrorism but lies. Look at the rubbish you wrote up there that the church sponsored maitatsini. Very soon you will tell me how the church sponsored Boko Haram and your patron in crime buhari has been in the forefront of speaking against anyone that try to fight them

greatiyk4u:
Convenant University is as expensive as foreign unis.......he no see Ekiti state uni, OAU, UNILAG et.al?

Covenant University is as expensive as foreign universities you said? Hope by foreign universities you're talking of Benin Republic and Togo because if by foreign universities you mean the likes of UK and US schools then we must beg your village people to release your brain. You need some kind of exposure. Covenant university is less than a million naira per annum. I guess you know how to brows, Just ask google what is the average cost per annum of UK universities. OLODO 1 of nairaland

There wouldn't have been any need to correct the idiocy but for the fact that some dummies believed the nonsense write up by their 'Dr Ismaila Farouq' even after believing and spreading the following nonsense too

Trump will sign Biafra into existence

Putin will bomb Nigeria in retaliation for killing of some ipod.

They could use Biafra passport they bought with Nigerian naira to travel to Europe and USA

80 countries already recognized Biafra and host their embassies

And they can infect good people with their poor thinking and reasoning abilities hence the need to correct it

ThierryJay:
It is important to note that this ranking is not a true reflection of the overall standards for each university. There are factors that will influence how highly sought-after a university is. The most important ones include:

- Ease of completing academic calendar - many candidates would want to graduate without any form of delay at an affordable cost. This explains the preference for Unilorin as this is now its main selling point.

- Geographical distribution of standard universities - There are more reputable universities in the southwest (UI, OAU, Unilag, Covenant, FUTA, Unilorin, UNAAB) than in the North (ABU) or the Southeast/Southsouth (UNN, UniBen, maybe UniZik). So this means that prospective candidates are more evenly distributed among the SW universities due to tougher competition.

-Tough entry standards - Universities that are perceived to be difficult to gain admission into will generally have lesser number of applicants than other "come as you are" universities. This explains why Havard does not have the highest number of American applicants in the US. This takes nothing away from its premium status.

In short, OAU, UI, Unilag,UNN and more recently CU are still the universities to beat in Nigeria.

At the very top, OAU and UI are the real deal.

Tribalism has removed every sence of objectivity from you, this too is a killer disease. So in listing of reputable universities by Nigeria standards from southeast and south south you only saw unn and uniben, then unizik under maybe? Your condition is pathetic. In your list you included futa without FUTO, uniport, unical etc, anyway no need of talking too much since talk alone can't help your kind of condition, just look for babalawo to do some kind of deliverance for you it won't cost much

Stop deceiving yourselve, I know your type. Who ask you for tithe? As if you can even give to buggers. Better go and give your life to Christ because that's the most important thing before you start ranting as if you know what is tithe

zed7:
Genesis 11:4 to 7. This chapters talk about God not being pleased with the sons of men for wanting to build a tower that would get to heaven. Hence, He caused them to have different languages and casued confusion in their midst.
How realistic is it to build a tower to heaven?
Is heaven up?
Could the tower be as high as the Burj Khalifa?
Could the tower go as high as space ships which shoots up far into the skies?
Don't the world have a common language now?
Has anyone seen heaven today with all the latest technology available?

As a Christian, we sometimes wonder about certain passages in the bible.

So many questions to ponder on. The reason for this thread is to get explanations from bible 'scholars'. The floor is open.

Does the world have a common language today? Please op which language is common to everyone on earth?
