Politics › Chad Seizes Suspected Boko Haram Weapons Cache by okeyglm(op): 3:38pm On Jul 03, 2015
Security forces in Chad have seized a large
weapons cache including guns , rockets and
ammunition in a house in the capital
N ’Djamena occupied by suspected members
of Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram ,
officials said told Reuters Friday .
The weapons , buried under the courtyard of
the house in the eastern neighbourhood of
Guinebor, were destined for northern
Nigeria, where Boko Haram has launched a
wave of attacks in recent weeks despite
suffering heavy military defeats this year .
Amid a resurgence in attacks in Nigeria’s
Borno state , suspected Boko Haram
insurgents rounded up and shot dead
dozens of people in the town of Kukawa on
Wednesday.

“ These were weapons that Baana Fanaye ,
Boko Haram ’ s logistics chief for northern
Cameroon and Chad , was preparing to send
to Nigeria,” said one investigator , who asked
not to be identified. Fanaye was arrested in
a raid by Chadian police last month .
Chad has played a leading role in a regional
offensive against the armed group this year,
in parallel with forces from Nigeria ,
Cameroon and Niger.
Two suicide attacks in N ’Djamena in mid-
June by suspected Boko Haram members,
which killed 34 people , were believed to be
in retaliation for Chad ’s part in the
campaign .
Chadian authorities arrested 60 suspected
militants on June 27 and said they had
dismantled a cell responsible for the suicide
attacks. Two days later, five officers and six
militants were killed during a raid on an
arms cache .
State prosecutor Alghassim Khamis said the
latest arms cache, discovered on Thursday ,
was found hidden in one of the houses
raided on June 27

lawmakers elected on the platform of
the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC) to accept the party’s supremacy in
the interest of democracy, Vangaurd
reports.
Party Decision Is Final, Buhari Tells
Lawmakers
Buhari shares a joke with the APC chairman
John Oyegun Odigie.
The president made this remarks at the
ongoing meeting of National Executive
Committee of the party at Abuja which the
APC is hoping to resolve crisis engulfing the
party following the fallout of National
Assembly leadership tussle.
He charged everyone to put whatever
interest they have in their “pocket” and
accept the supremacy of the party in the
overall interest of democracy.

He said: “What ever your personal interests,ererer
put them in your pocket. Let APC work. Let
the system work. I appeal to you to accept
the superiority of the party. I cannot
confine myself in Sambisa forest and refuse
to participate in the meeting because I
respect the superiority of the party.”

Politics › Latest Boko Haram Killings Barbaric, Says Buhari by okeyglm(op): 1:39pm On Jul 03, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday condemned the latest attacks by the Boko Haram sect which led to the death of about 150 persons in Kukawa, Borno State.

Buhari, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, described the latest wave of killings by the sect as most inhuman and barbaric.

He therefore urged Muslims to reject with one voice the sect’s claim to be acting in the name of Islam.

The President urged them to tell the terrorists to stop the abasement of their religion.

The statement read in part, “President Buhari considers the murder by the terrorists of up to 150 innocent men, women and children in Kukawa a very heinous atrocity which must be unreservedly condemned by all people of conscience.

“The President believes that these last desperate acts of fleeing agents of terrorism underscore the urgent need to bring to early fruition the efforts of his government to form a more effective international coalition against insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria and neighbouring countries.

“President Buhari urges Muslims in Nigeria and across the world to reject with one voice the attackers claim to be acting in the name of Islam, and tell the terrorists to stop the abasement of their religion.

“The President conveys his heart-felt condolences to families of the victims of Boko Haram’s dreadful killings in Kukawa.”

Politics › AGAIN !!!twin Blasts Kill 10 In Borno by okeyglm(op): 12:33pm On Jul 03, 2015
Two suicide explosions along a highway in Borno State killed at least 10 people on Thursday afternoon, state police said, the latest in a string of almost daily attacks by suspected insurgents.

A female suicide bomber killed seven and injured 13 at a village called Malari on the main road from Bama to Konduga while a second suicide bomber killed three in blast along the same road, the state police chief, Aderemi Opadokun, said.

A military source told Reuters that in both cases the suicide bombers targeted crowded areas where locals sell fruit along the highway, which runs southeast of the state capital Maiduguri.

Thousands of people have been killed and about 1.5 million displaced during Boko Haram’s six-year fight to create an Islamic caliphate in the northeast Nigeria.

Politics › Wike Sacks Chairman, Members Of Local Government Commission by okeyglm(op): 12:22pm On Jul 03, 2015
The Rivers state Government has dissolved the state Local Government Commission headed by Nnamdi Wokekoro.

The State government in a statement signed by the Special Adviser to Governor Nyesom Wike on Media, Opunabo Inko-Tariah said the action was taken upon the directive of the Rivers state House of Assembly.

Rivers State House of Assembly had in their plenary directed the State Governor, Nyesom Wike to dissolve the Rivers State Local Government Service Commission with immediate effect.


Speaker of the House, Ikunyi Awaji-Ibani issued the directive after the debate by members and the failure of the Local Government Service Commission to appear before the House on invitation.

Some of the lawmakers who spoke during the plenary called for Warrant of Arrest on the Local Government Commissions members while others called for the disengagement of the Commission from the service for alleged gross misconduct, financial misappropriation and blatant refusal of the Commission to appear before the House after being invited by the Assembly .

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the dissolved commission, Nnamdi Wokekoro expressed shock at the decision of the Rivers state House of Assembly to recommend his sack.

The Legal representative of the Chairman, Richard Onyeweola said the Lawmakers of the Rivers Assembly were duly informed about the inability of Wokekoro to appear before the Assembly because he was out of the state.


Richard said a formal letter was sent to the Assembly in that ragard.


In the meantime, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Port Harcourt City Local Government, Azubike Merukini has been invited by the Assembly to be screened to head the Local Government Commission in Rivers state.

Politics › Bayelsa State Government Is Set To Employ No Fewer Than 30,000 Workers by okeyglm(op):
The Bayelsa State Government is set to employ
no fewer than 30,000 workers, particularly
indigenes, in its $3.5bn fertiliser and
petrochemical company, State Development
and Investment Corporation, has said.
The Deputy Managing Director, BDIC, Mr. Tam
Alazigha, in an interview with journalists in
Yenagoa on Wednesday said the $3.5bn Brass
Fertilizer and Petrochemical project to be
sited at Odioma in Brass Local Government
Area is expected to generate a turnover of
$1.5bn.
He, therefore, predicted a prosperous future
for the people of the state as the corporation
intensified action on restructuring the state
economy and expanding economic
opportunities.
Alazigha said the new offices that were
opened in South Africa, United Kingdom and
Atlanta and the United States, would “take
Bayelsa to the world and bring the world to
Bayelsa”.
He said the development would open outposts
in strategic locations in the various key
markets in order to leverage on opportunities
that the markets offered to drive the
restoration of the Bayelsa economy.
Alazigha said, “The $3.5bn Brass Fertilizer and
Petrochemical project at Odioma, which is
expected to generate a turnover of $1.5bn
will employ about 30,000 Bayelsans. This
high-impact catalytic project is expected to
produce 5,000 metric tonnes of Methanol per
day, 2,200 metric tonnes per day of Ammonia
and 7,700 metric tonnes per day of Urea for
domestic and export markets.
“This humongous project will ensure
availability of high-grade fertilizer for farmers
throughout the planting season and meet 25
per cent of the country’s projected annual
domestic demand of 10 million metric tonnes.
The BDIC is to take up a 10 per cent equity
stake in the project.
“The only property owned by the corporation
are those in the U.K, located at St. John’s
Wood registered under BDIC UK Ltd and
forms part of the assets in the balance sheet
of the corporation. The property was bought
at £2.3m but now valued at over £3m with a
monthly rental income of £7,000. For the
office in the United States, the property was
purchased in BIDC’s name in 2013 for $
850,000 and was leased as a property with a
monthly income of $5,000.”
He said other achievements included the
$300m Liquefied Petrochemical Gas project at
Agge, with a projected turnover of $100m and
which would produce butane or cooking gas.
Alazigha also stated that the corporation was
into serious negotiation with Microsoft and
Goggle to facilitate deployment of the much
vaunted white space technology in the state to
make internet available in the rural areas and
hence build businesses.
He said the small and medium scale
businesses were also key areas of interest in
which, adding that much had been done by
BDIC to change the state from being a civil
service state to a modern economy with a lot
of enterprises.
According to him, Bayelsa State with a Gross
State Productof $18.5bn (N2.4 trilion) and
vast resources in oil and gas is a rich state.
He added, however, that such status had yet
to fully benefit the people as it should be.
Alazigha said that it was clear to the state
government on getting into office in 2012
that public funds accruing from the
consolidated revenue were grossly inadequate
to address the huge challenges of
infrastructure deficit.
Based on this, he said, the government
consequently came up with BDIC as a special
purpose vehicle and strategic enabler of
market-driven development which could also
be a fall back option in times of national or
global financial crisis and emergency.
The BDIC, which now has an asset base of
over $1.2bn, he said, leverages private sector
funds and expertise to grow wealth of
Bayelsans and insulate the economy from oil
price volatility.
Alazigha, who came to the job with vast
experience having worked with JP Morgan,
Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas as investment
banker, said the BDIC idea, as a global best
practice, was playing similar roles as in such
investment institutions like the Qatar
Investment Authority, Malaysia Development
Berhad, and the Industrial Development
Corporation of South Africa.[color=#000099]
