ALAYORMII:
Ma, can we call him the father of her daughter?

A former Minister of Education and #BringBackOurGirls activist, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has warned the media to stop referring to the ‘predator’ that violated abducted Chibok girl, Amina Ali, as her ‘Boko Haram husband’.

The former minister disclosed this in a post on her Twitter handle where she rhetorically asked if the media did not know that ‘Amina Ali’s parents’ did not give her out for marriage’.

Her tweets: “From now I shall call out any media house that says or writes ‘her Boko Haram husband’ for that ‘predator’ that violated Amina Ali.
Get ready.

“Does the media not know that #AminaAli’s parents did not give her out for marriage? She’s a victim of abduction and sexual violence.”
The rescued girl and her parents met President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja on Thursday.
Details of the meeting is sketchy at this time.

We should love one another..violence and hatred will take us no where .

papparatzzi2013:
They are doing that because it is Ipob that is masquerading as militants and blowing up SS land, polluting their environment and rendering their land hazardous.

They want to kill SS people, so that they can migrate to the land and finally have access to sea, where they can build their life dream -- Seaport.

baby124:
Dailymail should concentrate on telling their government to return all stolen monies and properties and stop speculating about things they have no proof of. They know how to use "allegedly" very well. As they are not sure of anything. Ever.

The people of benue should rise against [size=18pt]
"Herdsmen from libya" [/size]killing them in 100's, since the government is not concerned about "foreigners" taking nigerian lives...

Ortom said: “These are wicked mercenaries under the guise of herdsmen attacking us and taken over our farmlands. I have said it several times that we do not have land for grazing in the state, let them move out of the state. There is a limit to which I can appeal to my people to restrain themselves from reprisal attacks, if all of them are killed then I will be the next target.”

Apparently miffed by the incessant attacks on farmers in Benue State by suspected Fulani herdsmen, the state governor, Samuel Ortom, yesterday raised the alarm that the state is under siege.

The governor, who was reacting to the weekend’s attacks on Agwabi village in Binev Council Ward in Buruku Local Government Area of the state, called on the herdsmen to vacate the state immediately before the people resort to self-defence as they have been pushed to the wall.

Ortom, who lamented the attacks, noted that the herdsmen have virtually taken over the entire land in the state, stressing that enough is enough for the rampant killings of his people.

“This is an unfortunate situation that has been happening to us in Benue State. I have been crying all over the place and making appeals because we are under siege by the herdsmen, you push them away from one end, they will go to another end of the state,” the governor lamented.

According to him, it is a bad situation now to see how every day our people are being killed, raped by these mercenaries, who do not have respect for rule of law and for security personnel.

Ortom said: “These are wicked mercenaries under the guise of herdsmen attacking us and taken over our farmlands. I have said it several times that we do not have land for grazing in the state, let them move out of the state. There is a limit to which I can appeal to my people to restrain themselves from reprisal attacks, if all of them are killed then I will be the next target.”

Alluding to allegation that the youths in the state are rustling Fulani cows, the governor denied the allegation saying, “it is the criminal elements among the herdsmen that always steal their cows,” arguing whether rustling of cows is commensurate with the human lives they take.

greatgod2012:
My own opinion is that, one should be careful of the promises made. For someone to be going up and down, promising heaven and earth, should have had an idea of what is obtainable in that place he's going before promising. The problem I see here is that, PMB was only after taking power, he never prepare for anything, he only wanted power. He didn't actually bother himself with the extent to which things have been spoilt, he only wanted power. Its his quest for power that made him promise what could not be achieved, what he never had any idea of. And if he didn't sweetmouth and promise like that, he wouldn't win the election. The masses have their own blame too, when he and his party was making those promises, did the masses ask them how they were going to achieve them, no they didn't. They believed everything line, hook and sinker.


Now, they are blaming the past administration for spoiling everything beyond repair before leaving office, why didn't they do their findings then before making all those promises.


PMB was only after power, and he used his sweet mouth, as well as Jonathan's weakness in the area of tackling BH to get to the power.

I just hope all of us have learnt our lessons.
DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR.

juman:
Let be sincere with ourselves this government is better than pdp governments.

They inherited a destroyed country, that makes things very hard for them to maneuver.

Yeah, I agree that they are also not great leaders because in situation like this great leaders suppose to borrow money to fix things.

The special session of the House of Representatives slated for Monday afternoon (today) for the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, to interact with lawmakers has been stalled following opposition by some opposition lawmakers.
A rowdy session ensued after a motion was moved that Mr. Kachikwu be admitted to the chamber for the special session, scheduled for noon.
Members belonging to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party held several Nigerian flags, chanting anti-government slogans, and insisting that Mr. Kachikwu should not be admitted to the chamber.
“All we are saying is save Nigeria,” the opposition lawmakers chanted, just as House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, was moving a motion for Mr. Kachikwu’s admittance to the House.
The Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, was eventually able to restore order at 12:43 p.m.
The Minority Leader, Leo Ogor, thereafter moved that the House dissolve into a closed-door session “to resolve pending controversial issues.”
The House then went into executive session.
The lawmakers had invited the oil minister to explain the rationale for the new fuel pricing and supply framework introduced by government last week.
More to come…

Liar, PMB never said Abacha never stole.

By Ibrahim Shuaibu
Kano — The late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, did not loot the national treasury contrary to the general impression, two military former heads of state have said.

Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who ruled Nigeria between 1983 and 1985, and his successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, gave Abacha the clean bill in Kano yesterday after the rememberance prayers marking 10 years of the death of Abacha, who ruled between 1993 and 1998.
