Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan wants the government to borrow $1bn
to strengthen the military's capability to fight militant Islamists. Mr Jonathan
wrote to parliament, asking for the expenditure to be approved.

Nigeria has a military budget of about $6bn a year but large sums are lost to
corruption, critics say. Mr Jonathan has faced intense criticism over the
government's failure to curb the increasingly brutal insurgency waged by the
Boko Haram group. The Islamist group caused international outrage in April when
it abducted more than 200 schoolgirls in its heartland of north-eastern Nigeria.

In the letter to the Senate and House of Representatives, Mr Jonathan said he
wanted to borrow the extra money as part of a "government-to-government
arrangement". He did not specify which country he was looking at making a
deal with. Mr Jonathan said there was an "urgent need" to upgrade the
equipment, training and logistics of the armed forces and security services
to help them confront the "serious threat" posed by Boko Haram. "For this
reason, I seek the concurrence of the National Assembly for external borrowing
of not more than $1bn," he said.

Nigeria's military is receiving help from the US, UK, China, France and Israel to
secure the release of the schoolgirls. Rights groups have repeatedly accused the
military of carrying out widespread abuses against civilians, as it tries to hunt
down insurgents. Mr Jonathan sent more troops to the north-east last year after
declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, the three states
worst-affected by the insurgency. However, Boko Haram has stepped up attacks
since then.

New York-based Human Rights Watch says more than 2,000 civilians have been killed in
Nigeria this year by Boko Haram. The deaths occurred in around 95 separate attacks in
more than 70 towns and villages in the north-east, where Boko Haram launched its insurgency
in 2009.

A senior Nigerian football official and a club administrator have been banned for 10 years following their involvement in corruption, the country's football authority has announced.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) banned the chairman of its own disciplinary committee, Olaleye Adepoju, for 10 years for taking a bribe from a club.

The NFF emergency committee also handed Dapo Lam-Adesina same sanction for his role in the scandal, excluding both men from all football-related activities following an investigation.

The football authority also referred to police an allegation that the chairman of Enugu State Football Association, Chidi Ofo Okenwa, was an imposter.

Okenwa was told to step down from his role pending the outcome of the police probe.

"The sanctions handed down by the committee are entirely fair and should act as a deterrent to any club or individual who might consider breaching the rules," NFF board member Chris Green told BBC Sport.

"We've handed out a severe sanction to one of our own, another clear pointer to the fact that no-one is above the law.

"Our football must be clean, fair, rid of dirty dealings and professionally run.

"Every corruption or bribery scandal is damaging to the credibility of the sport, but the NFF will continue to work hard to prevent this ugly spectre of scandal from destroying our beautiful game."

Adepoju was a member of the NFF executive committee and also the chairman of the football association in Oyo state, south-west Nigeria.

He was alleged to have received a cash payment of 1.5 million naira ($9,400) before a disciplinary hearing against Shooting Stars, from the Oyo state capital Ibadan, after they abandoned a league match against Sunshine Stars earlier this year.

He was said to have received money to find in favour of Shooting Stars after their players refused to take the field in the second half when the score was 0-0, claiming that one of their officials had been attacked.

However, the NFF rejected Shooting Stars' account and suspended Adepoju from his role in charge of its disciplinary committee.

Adepoju, a lawyer, claimed he took the money for giving legal advice.

Shooting Stars were fighting relegation at the time. A subsequent hearing awarded Sunshine Stars the three points from the match.

"We are prepared to put up with the pain of deep investigations if it keeps the game cleaner," Green said.

Match-fixing and corruption is a problem in Nigerian football and has led to sanctions against a number of clubs, referees and officials.

The NFF's former secretary general Taiwo Ogunjobi was also banned for 10 years last month.

Four clubs were suspended earlier this year after two teams vying for promotion respectively with the NFF calling it a "scandal of huge proportions"

Mariojane: Nigerians u re urselves problem.how can d country develop when u doubt urselves nd ur country leaders. Maybe if u start listening nd believing their words d country will be better. Am not saying they don't lie but with what Ngozi said,a reasonable person will knw she is speaking d truth and u not just pay money out unless d people u work with tender ur fee. Tins re done by protocol. Its possible she notice kechi fee was not brought to her table but she might be thinking kechi ask for non-payments due to one reason or d other.she is not in d position to ask kechi cos he is not working under her. Learn to trust ur leaders maybe things can change tru ur trust. Nd also think before u comment
