googlelove:
Chelsea have finally accepted Manchester United’s €75m bid, for Brazilian attacker Willian. The London club which have recently rejected several offers from Barcelona for the player, is believed to have finally allowed the departure of its player with reports from Italy which have been relayed by the English media suggested that Manchester united might have reached their terms on the player.
The offer is reported believed to have several add-ons and clauses with the arrival of Garry Cahill to the old Trafford as a shock option. This is believed to be a last resort for the red devils, in the event that they fail to land a central defender in the summer.
Willian has been heavily linked with Barcelona and Manchester since the beginning of the July. The World cup exploits of the 29yr old Brazilian attacker coupled with his lack of game time under former coach Antonio Conte made his departure from the London club inevitable.
Barcelona had three bids for the player with the most recent bid valued at €72m earlier in the week but Manchester united seemed to be monitoring the situation as their interest in Gareth Bale gradually faded.
The decision to join either Old Trafford or the Nou camp lies entirely on the Brazilian as the player could push for an alternative destination even if a bid have been accepted.
Willian whose relationship with Jose Mourinho have been good is expected to choose the Manchester club ahead of Barcelona, but the shock addition of Garry Cahill in the deal makes the headline as the Manchester club never declared interest in the player.

COMBATING INSECURITY IN THE COUNTRY: LEST WE FORGET – PRESIDENCY
A popular refrain from some quarters is that the President is not doing enough to combat the insecurity that has beleaguered the country in recent times.
Lest that untruth begins to wear a garb of reality, let us consider some initiatives taken under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari to rein in the security situation, particularly since January, 2018.
JANUARY 2018
Ø Leadership of the police deployed to Benue State, after mass killings reportedly committed by herdsmen. This was followed by a fact-finding team led by the Minister of Interior, and deployment of Special Forces of the military, to restore law and order.
Ø National Economic Council sets up 10-man committee on farmers/herdsmen clashes, headed by the Vice President.
Ø The 1 Division of the Nigerian Army, Kaduna, launched a special operation, Karamin Goro (Small Kolanut), in collaboration with the Air Force, Police, Department of State Services, and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC; to tackle kidnapping, robbery and cattle rustling in parts of Kaduna and Niger States (Minna-Birnin Gwari-Pandogari and Minna-Sarkin Pawa general areas)
FEBRUARY 2018
Ø The Nigerian Army commenced Exercise Ayem Akpatuma covering Benue, Taraba, Kogi, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Niger States, in order to tackle the cases of kidnappings, herdsmen/farmers’ clashes, among others.
Ø The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) inducted its first indigenous operational Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Tsaigumi. The newly-inducted UAV has day and night capability, an operational endurance in excess of 10 hours, a service ceiling of 15,000 feet and a mission radius of 100km, and is capable of being used for policing operations, disaster management, convoy protection, maritime patrol, pipeline, power line monitoring as well as mapping and border patrol duties.
Ø The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) established a total of 10 new Units as NAF had concluded plans to set up Quick Response Wings (QRWs) across Nasarawa State, in a bid to tackle the herders/farmers clashes plaguing some states within the axis.
MARCH 2018
Ø President Buhari began sympathy visits to states that had experienced wanton killings in the country.
Ø The Nigerian Army extended Exercise Ayem Akpatuma in Taraba State by two months.
Ø The committee set up by the National Economic Council on farmers/herdsmen clashes submits report, making far reaching recommendations for peace, including ranching in five states.
APRIL 2018
Ø The Nigerian Air Force took delivery of a second batch of 2 brand new Mi-35N helicopter gunships to boost internal security.
Ø Deployed Special Force to Zamfara State to combat criminality
MAY 2018
Ø The Nigerian Police Force inaugurated a Mobile Squadron in Takum, Taraba State.
Ø The Nigerian Air Force established 3 new Quick Response Wings (QRW) in Taraba, Nasarawa and Benue States respectively, and deployed Special Forces personnel to these new bases. (Taraba State QRW is located in Nguroje; Nasarawa State QRW in Doma; and Benue State QRW in Agatu).
Ø Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Idris ordered the deployment of 200 policemen, and 10 patrol vehicles to Birnin Gwari (Kaduna-Zamfara axis) to tackle armed banditry in the area.
Ø President Buhari approved the establishment of a new Battalion of the Nigerian Army, as well as a new Police Area Command, in Birnin Gwari LGA of Kaduna State, as part of measures to scale up the security response to the banditry affecting the area. Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen. Tukur Buratai, has since flagged off the new Battalion (2 Battalion Forward Operating Base, FOB) in Kanfanin Doka Village, Birnin-Gwari, Kaduna State.
Ø The Defence Headquarters assembled a Special Military Intervention Force comprising more than 1,000 personnel, drawn from the Army, Air Force, Navy, Police, DSS and NSCDC, to respond to the security challenges in the North Central and North West. On May 8, 2018, the Force launched Operation WHIRL STROKE, as a full-scale military operation to completely restore law, order and stability in the affected communities. The Whirl Stroke Operational Force Commander is Major General Adeyemi Yekini.
Ø Chief of Army Staff inducted a mix of 49 Toyota Land Cruisers and Innoson gun trucks, at the HQ of the 133 Special Forces Battalion of the Nigerian Army at Azare, to support the ongoing OPERATION LAST HOLD in Northern Borno.
Ø NAF launched newly-constructed accommodation for the 205 Combat Search and Rescue Group (CSARG) — established in 2017 to provide aid and operational assistance to wounded and distressed troops serving in combat units — in Kerang, Plateau State.
Ø The Air Task Force of NAF commenced Operation THUNDER STRIKE to attack selected locations of Boko Haram Terrorists in the North-East.
Ø The Nigerian Army commissioned its new Forward Operating Base in Epe, Lagos State
JUNE 2018
Ø NAF deployed combat helicopter to its 207 Quick Response Group (QRG) in Gusau, Zamfara State to support the fight against armed banditry in the town and its environs.
JULY 2018
Ø President Buhari approved the establishment of Operation WHIRL STROKE II, for deployment in Zamfara and Kaduna States.
Securing the length and breadth of the country is a continuing commitment. It is one of the key pledges of the Buhari administration, which it is carrying out night and day.
In May 2015, when the administration emerged, the security situation was in tatters. It pulled up its bootstraps, rolled up its sleeves, set to work, and the Boko Haram insurgency was beaten back. It was eventually degraded.
Other security challenges are being tackled and will subsequently become history. Not doing enough, as some critics claim, is not part of the deal, nor is it reality, no, not by any stretch of the imagination. A lot is being done, and success is guaranteed.

The Capital city of Jalingo have been witnessing influx of hundreds of IDPs mostly women and children from the effected villages for the past one week on the silent on going ethnic cleansing.

stane007:
Speaking over the arraignment of former Benue State governor, Mr. Gabriel Suswam, by the Federal Government, over alleged illegal possession of arms, President, National Association of Benue State Indigenes, NABENSI, Moses Mwarga Aji, has stated that any Benue indigene who votes for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections will be cursed.
Aji who challenged Buhari to withdraw his inaugural remarks that he belongs to everybody, told newsmen in Kaduna that President Buhari’s action and body language has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he belongs to the Fulani extraction only.
NABENSI President who argued that a lot of people have been carrying arms illegally in the country without any arrest by the federal government’s security agencies, described the arrest and arraignment of the former governor of Benue State as unfortunate.
“I think president Buhari should go back and withdraw his Inaugural speech that” I’m for nobody, I’m for everybody”. President Buhari has shown clearly that he belongs to the Fulani extraction and apart from that he does not consider any other ethnic group in this county outside the Muslims and Fulani herdsmen,” he said.
“A lot of people have been carrying arms illegally moving around with sophisticated weapons and nothing is happening to them.
“Where did the Fulani people get AK47 from, and moving around, busy killing people every now and then but nothing happened to them yet Buhari did not comment.
“How many arms were caught with Susuam. They are victimizing him because he’s a staunch member of PDP. But the prayers of the masses will guide him and protect him irrespective of the frustration and threat being meted out to him as former governor.
“A lot of people possess arms illegally, a lot of people are coming in with arms illegally and nothing is happening to them. Nobody has questioned them. Our borders are porous and people are getting arms in anyhow, why must it be the former governor of Benue State that’s illegal. What Federal Government is doing to him will make him more popular and attract more people’s sympathy with him politically,” he explained.
Aji enjoined indigenes of Benue State to remain calm, be vigilante and peaceful, saying there would be no development without peace.
“But if you’re push to the wall, you have no option than to react. I said this without fear of favour. Buhari has shown to the entire world that he is unfair.
“Miyetti Allah have been making provocative statements and utterances and later execute them. Can anyone compare lives of human beings with cow. Miyetti Allah have been reacting that it was a retaliatory killings and nobody or DSS arrested them.
“When over 200 were killed in Plateau, nobody was arraigned, it happened in Benue, Miyetti Allah claimed responsibility and nothing happen to their leaders.
“January first, Many were killed in Benue, January 13th, Miyetti Allah came out and said there will be more bloodshed in Benue, and it comes to pass but nobody arrested their leaders the claimants, so how can anybody say Buhari has been fair to Benue people who voted him massively against their Christian brother, Goodluck Jonathan?
“Let me send him a message to him, that Buhari has lost in the entire Benue State, nobody will vote for him in 2019. And anyone who vote for him in 2019 will be cursed,” he stated.
https://lailasnews.com/any-benue-indigene-who-votes-for-buhari-in-2019-will-be-cursed-aji/ Aren't Benue people already cursed. A State formerly known for bravery has now taken to slavery. You implemented the killing of over 1 million Biafrans and now u are getting killed. If u see where a Muslim Idoma man is defending Buhari, u begin to wonder what sort of people they are. A State so polarised and disunited with the likes of Sen Ameh Ebute, Sen George, Audu Ogbeh, Akumeh and Abubakar Tsav working against their people and thanking Buhari for being a 'good' leader. |
| Politics › Nigeria Fulani Jihadis Deadlier Than Boko Haram (extreme Graphics)- US Breitbart by ProfDumbledor(op): 5:48pm On Jul 08, 2018 |
[Extreme Content Warning] by EDWIN MORA 8 Jul 2018 165 Muslim terrorists from the Fulani herdsmen group in Nigeria used machetes and firearms to massacre more than 200 people in a predominantly Christian region over a two day period in June, a testament to the group’s growing lethality that has far surpassed Boko Haram’s. Various news outlets identify the Fulani as “ herdsmen” competing over resources ravaged by global warming with Christians who have instigated their demise by stealing the Muslim group’s cattle. Breitbart News spoke to various analysts and experts who believe the Fulani are deserving of a sinister label beyond just “herdsmen.” The group carried out massacres across nearly a dozen villages in Nigeria’s Christian-majority Plateau state over the weekend of June 23-24 , killing over 200. The estimated number of farmers who have been killed by Fulani terrorists so far this year varies between 1,750 and 6,000, including women and children. The experts and analysts who spoke to Breitbart News agree that the Fulani are jihadis. Dede Laugesen with Save the Persecuted Christians, a national coalition of Christian and Jewish faith leaders working to raise grassroots awareness in America about the mistreatment of Christ followers, noted, “Somehow the Fulani have gone from being recognized as the fourth most deadly terrorist group in 2015 to being simple ‘herdsmen.’ Why are ‘herdsmen’ armed with AK47s and who is arming them?” Sam Rohrer, the president of American Pastors Network , provided Breitbart News with pictures that purportedly depict the carnage that ensued from the savage atrocities committed by suspected Fulani terrorists that fateful weekend this month. The Fulani massacres on June 23 and 24 know no bounds as the pictures show dozens of butchered bodies allegedly cut open with machetes, riddled with bullets, and even burned alive. Faith McDonnell, a Christian persecution expert at the Institute on Religion and Democracy (IRD), told Breitbart News via email, “Before there was Boko Haram, there was the Fulani. Massive slaughters of Christians were taking place … [for decades] by Fulani (and other Islamists in Nigeria) before Boko Haram evolved and appeared on the scene.” Clashes between Muslim Fulani herders and Christian-majority farmers from the Berom ethnic group in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, have intensified this year. McDonnell directed Breitbart News to a video posted on Facebook purportedly showing Fulani terrorists donning choir robes of Christians from churches they have attacked in April . Citing the recent Fulani attack that reportedly killed up to 216 people believed to be Christians, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) accused the Muslim group of committing genocide. Nigerian Senator Jonah David Jang, who represents the predominantly Christian state of Plateau, made similar claims, describing “the killings as heinous crime against his people, genocide, and an attempt to forcefully take over and occupy the ancestral land of the Berom nation,” the African country’s This Day newspaper reported this week Echoing some news outlets, the analysts and experts told Breitbart News the Fulani have overtaken Boko Haram as the deadliest terrorist group in Nigeria. In March alone, the human rights organization International Christian Concern ( ICC) revealed that Fulani “jihadis” killed 225 followers of Christ, Christian Today reported. Breitbart News determined that, during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan this year (May 17 thru June 15), Fulani terrorists killed at least 43 people, exceeding the number of fatalities at the hands of Boko Haram. Echoing Laugesen and McDonnell’s classification of the Fulani group members as jihadis, Mark Lipdo, the head of the Stefanos Foundation in Nigeria, a pro-Christian group, added in a statement: In my 18 years of involvement with this killings, I found the world struggling to give various reasons for it but whether it is called ‘religious conflict or settlers/ indigenous struggles, Boko Haram or farmer/ herders clashes’ the targets are the same. The victims are clearly ethnic, non-Muslim Nigerians. The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), the top pro-Fulani group in Nigeria, justified the recent heinous atrocities against mainly Christian farmers in Plateau, calling the attacks “retaliatory” and equating the life of a human being to that of a cow, the pro-Christain World Watch Monitor (WWM) noted shortly following the massacre. “As much as I don’t support the killing of human being[s], the truth must be told that those who carried out the attacks must be on [a] revenge mission,” Danladi Ciroma, the chairman of the pro-Fulani group, declared in a statement issued on June 25, referring to the more than 200 deaths of civilians in predominantly Christian regions. “Fulani herdsmen have lost about 300 cows in the last few weeks. … In addition to that, 174 cattle were rustled,” he added. After the statement drew outrage, Ciroma denied making it. The Christian Association of Nigeria denounced the Fulani rhetoric painting the fatalities as “revenge killings” over the theft of cattle, WWM noted. “We condemn these unholy acts of systematic genocide and see it as a deliberate attempt to destroy the cultural heritage of Plateau people, in particular, the most affected areas,” the CAN group declared in a statement issued following the Plateau massacre. “The killings are becoming no longer herder and farmer clashes … [but a] deliberate attempt to conquer and occupy the land of the people’s ancestral heritage.” McDonnell also blasted the Fulani for accusing the Christians of instigating the attack by stealing cattle. “That is an appalling bit of moral equivalence … There have been cases where some non-Muslims (whether they are actually Christians or not, do not know, but from Christian areas) have stolen the Fulani cows because the cows are running rampant over the farmland, but there cannot be moral equivalence made or justified between stealing cows and mass slaughter of Christians,” she told Breitbart News. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who reportedly shares his ethnicity with the Fulani, has been accused of downplaying and even condoning the attacks by the Muslim group. Some Christian leaders and experts urge followers of Christ to rise and defend themselves against the Fulani. “For years now, though, the Christians have been saying that they ‘have no cheeks left to turn…’ If they decide to fight back – for which I think they are totally justified – Nigeria will become a war zone,” McDonnell told Breitbart News. https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/07/08/nigerias-fulani-jihadis-grow-deadlier-than-boko-haram-killing-hundreds-of-christians-in-days-extreme-content-warning/

SternProphet:
This point that the solution is to use the ..."full force of the police to fight against Fulani herdsmen"..only Nigerians think that way.
Nigerian brains are a little demented due to a faulty educational system. What exactly is happening now?. Are we fighting herdsmen with 50% of force?. Rubbish.
I don't like being tribslistic but the way our brothers and sisters from the East think is a little below standard.
Nigeria now has up to 20000 men deployed against so called herdsmen. The Nigeria Airforce is actually looking for and bombing these guys in the bush ( which fact may even actually be illegal), I know of Navy Special forces, NAF special forces deployed. The Civil Defence corps is scrambling for money to form Agro rangers to protect against clashes but it takes a South Easterner to make the redundant point that full force should be deployed. So we are bombing all terroristic herdsmen as we speak. I am not sure we ever got to the stage of deploying Airforce against IPOB.
They are already killing the terrorists in the bush. Also there are terrorists on both sides and even the terrorists and militias formed by the farmers will also be killed.
To suggest that a VP should not do his job to resettle families displayed quickly with new homes in protected neighbourhoods because we should be waiting for another "full force" of the Nigeria Police is this same demented thinking. Do u have evidence to show that 20000 forces have been deployed to tackle herdsmen? Are they on ground and how do we know? Is there any evidence (like pic and videos ) to show aerial bombardment of killer herdsmen? Why are there not too many police and army road blocks in the high crime and terror-infested North region like we have in the low-crime South East region? Until u provide evidence-based answers to these questions, u remain a bigoted, biased, uninformed foolish ass-licking zombie. |

These form the basic building blocks for poverty trajectories computed for 188 countries and territories, developed and developing, across the world. The data highlight two new storylines about what is happening to global extreme poverty. FIRST: EXTREME POVERTY IN TODAY’S WORLD IS LARGELY ABOUT AFRICA According to our projections, Nigeria has already overtaken India as the country with the largest number of extreme poor in early 2018, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo could soon take over the number 2 spot (Figure 1 below). At the end of May 2018, our trajectories suggest that Nigeria had about 87 million people in extreme poverty, compared with India’s 73 million. What is more, extreme poverty in Nigeria is growing by six people every minute, while poverty in India continues to fall. In fact, by the end of 2018 in Africa as a whole, there will probably be about 3.2 million more people living in extreme poverty than there are today. Already, Africans account for about two-thirds of the world’s extreme poor. If current trends persist, they will account for nine-tenths by 2030. Fourteen out of 18 countries in the world—where the number of extreme poor is rising—are in Africa.

But if extreme poverty were to fall to zero by 2030, we should have already reduced the number by about 120 million, just assuming a linear trajectory. To get rid of this backlog of some 35 million people, we now have to rapidly step up the pace. This notwithstanding, the fundamental dynamics of global extreme poverty reduction are clear. Given a starting point of about 725 million people in extreme poverty at the beginning of 2016, we needed to reduce poverty by 1.5 people every second to achieve the goal and yet we’ve been moving at a pace of only 1.1 people per second. Given that we’ve fallen behind so much, the new target rate has just increased to 1.6 people per second through 2030. At the same time, because so many countries are falling behind, the actual pace of poverty reduction is starting to slow down. Our projections show that by 2020, the pace could fall to 0.9 people per second, and to 0.5 people per second by 2022. As we fall further behind the target pace, the task of ending extreme poverty by 2030 is becoming inexorably harder because we are running out of time. We should celebrate our achievements, but increasingly sound the alarm that not enough is being done, especially in Africa. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/future-development/2018/06/19/the-start-of-a-new-poverty-narrative/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=global

| Politics › Nigeria Overtakes India As Number 1 In World's Poverty Rating - Brookings Instit by ProfDumbledor(op): 9:52pm On Jun 24, 2018 |

These form the basic building blocks for poverty trajectories computed for 188 countries and territories, developed and developing, across the world.
The data highlight two new storylines about what is happening to global extreme poverty.
First: Extreme poverty in today’s world is largely about Africa
According to our projections, Nigeria has already overtaken India as the country with the largest number of extreme poor in early 2018, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo could soon take over the number 2 spot (Figure 1 below). At the end of May 2018, our trajectories suggest that Nigeria had about 87 million people in extreme poverty, compared with India’s 73 million.

Second: It is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve SDG 1 (ENDing poverty)
Between January 1, 2016—when implementation of internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) started—and July 2018, the world has seen about 83 million people escape extreme poverty. But if extreme poverty were to fall to zero by 2030, we should have already reduced the number by about 120 million, just assuming a linear trajectory.

The Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria have asked International right group, Amnesty International (AI) to quit its operation in Nigeria or face a possible Mass Action by the Nigerian people, over what it termed as the “covert and clandestine operations of the AI, meant to undermine Nigeria’s National security and foreign policies, through deliberate inciting and false allegations against the Nigerian Military”
At a Press briefing in Ibadan on Thursday, Convener of the group, Comrade Odeyemi Oladimeji said “We have observed that AI activities in Nigeria are undoubtedly covert and clandestine operations meant to undermine our security and foreign policies, by deliberately, inciting and making false allegations against our Military, especially the Nigerian Army. Whereas, we have gathered from close monitoring that this covert operatives of AI are also working with some local collaborators who are politically exposed including a former Nigerian president, who is hell bent on bringing down the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for selfish and self serving reasons.”
According to the group, the AI through many of its actions in Nigeria, especially it frequently released reports, have constituted itself as an agency, that embolden the activities of terror groups such as Boko Haram by continuously portraying the Nigerian security agencies as the aggressors.
“We wish to emphatically state, that Nigerians have had enough of the absurdities and campaign of calumny by the Amnesty International and therefore demand, that it quits its operations in Nigeria, with immediate effect, as we can no longer allow such self serving organisation like AI, to continually undermine our National security, at the detriment of the lives and properties, of our innocent citizens.”
“Having constituted itself as a clog in the wheel of progress of our gallant security forces, who have continued to give their best, including sacrificing their lives, for our protection and that of our territorial integrity, we wish to state, that we shall no longer tolerate these deliberate acts of sabotage and compromise of national security by the Amnesty International.”
Odeyemi further said that failure of Amnesty International to quit Nigeria, as demanded by the group, would leave the Coalition, with no other option than to employ any legitimate means, to force Amnesty International out of the country.

| Politics › Nigeria Troops 'rape Starving Women'-amnesty International by ProfDumbledor(op): 3:40pm On May 24, 2018 |
Nigerian soldiers have raped women and girls who fled the insurgency by militant Islamist group Boko Haram, Amnesty International has said. Troops separated women from their husbands and raped them, sometimes in exchange for food, in refugee camps, the rights group added. Thousands of people have also starved to death in the camps in north-eastern Nigeria since 2015, Amnesty said. Nigeria's military has dismissed the allegations as malicious and false. "These false reports, which are capable of derailing the good work being done by our patriotic and selfless soldiers, must stop," the military said in a statement. Africa Live: Updates on this and other news stories Who are Boko Haram? Boko Haram - as lethal as ever Troops have been battling the insurgents since 2009 in Borno and other north-eastern states. More than 30,000 people have been killed in the conflict, and about 1.8 million people have fled their homes. The military has repeatedly been accused of carrying out atrocities, and the US, during the presidency of Barack Obama, refused to sell weapons to Nigeria, citing concerns about the military's human rights record. However, the Trump administration has decided to press ahead with the sale of military aircraft and weapons, which Nigeria sees as vital to defeat the insurgents. 'He forced me to a room' In its report, They betrayed us, Amnesty recorded the testimony of a 25-year-old woman who said a soldier raped her while she was pregnant. "He knew I was five or six months pregnant. He said he saw me three times before. He didn't offer me any food, he called me and I ignored him but on the third day, he forced me to a room and raped me," she said. Media caption'Nigerian soldiers killed my husband' Amnesty said it was "absolutely shocking that people who had already suffered so much under Boko Haram have been condemned to further horrendous abuse by the Nigerian military". "Instead of receiving protection from the authorities, women and girls have been forced to succumb to rape in order to avoid starvation or hunger," it added. Amnesty added that as the military recaptured territory from Boko Haram in 2015, it ordered people living in villages to move to satellite camps, in some cases "indiscriminately killing those who remained in their homes". "At least hundreds, and possibly thousands, died in Bama Hospital camp alone during this time. Those interviewed consistently reported that 15 to 30 people died each day from hunger and sickness during these months," the rights group said. It added that at least 32 babies and children, and five women, have died in detention since 2016 at the notorious Giwa barracks. 'I went into labour' Many of those detained were victims of abductions or forced marriages by Boko Haram, Amnesty said. "The detention of women and girls on the basis that they were allegedly married to Boko Haram members is unlawful under international human rights law and Nigerian law, and is discriminatory," it added. One woman told Amnesty she was detained along with her husband and son. "When we arrived in Bama prison, it was awful. People were being beaten in the yard in front of us. They started beating my husband and son. So much fear came into me. I was pregnant and I went into labour. I found the toilet and I had my baby next to it. No-one helped me. At the beginning, I didn't know if my baby was alive or dead," the 35-year-old woman said. Is this a priority for Nigeria's military? By Mayeni Jones, BBC News, Lagos There is a sense of deja-vu following the release of Amnesty's latest findings. Although the number of women who admitted being raped in this report is relatively small - just nine women came forward - it is part of a wider cluster of allegations against the military. In 2016, Human Right watch reported that 43 women accused officials of rape and exploitation in refugee camps in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state. Shortly after the release of the report, President Muhammadu Buhari mandated the local government to investigate the allegations. Ten officials were arrested in December 2016 but nothing happened after that. In the summer of 2017, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo set up a panel to investigate human rights abuses by the military, but its findings have not yet been made public. There needs to be a concerted and transparent effort on the part of the authorities to tackle this problem. But with security crises happening in different parts of the country, including the north-east and middle belt states, it is hard to see how this will be a priority for the Nigeria authorities - particularly given their criticism of Amnesty's report. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-44236428 |

BankeSmalls:
Who is the the man in charge of the BPP? On 6th October 2016, the new Director-General of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), Mr. Mamman Ahmadu, FNIQS, formally received the hand-over note from the Acting Director-General, Engr. Ahmed Abdu, FNSE, at the BPP headquarters in Abuja. So look no further, it's a Fulani man. |
| Politics › FG Hasn’t Awarded 2nd Niger Bridge Contract —Reps C’ttee by ProfDumbledor(op): 6:39am On May 24, 2018 |
By Emman Ovuakporie ABUJA —THE House of Representatives Committee on Works, yesterday, declared that the Buhari adminstration hasn’t awarded the contract for the second Niger Bridge, accusing the Bureau for Public Procurement, BPP, of deliberately frustrating the award of the contract by the Federal Government.
The committee stated that while the works ministry had concluded early procurement processes for the award of the contract, the Federal Government had not awarded the contract because of the delay in approving the due process by BPP.
The committee said the construction work being done by Julius Berger was the early earth work which is in four stages and not the building of the bridge as the public was being made to believe.
Chairman of the House committee, Rep. Toby Okechukwu, made this disclosure in an interview with journalists yesterday.
Okechukwu explained that while the ministry of power, works and housing had concluded work on the contract details and forwarded same to the BPP for approval, the lawmaker however, regretted that the inability of the BPP to approve the contract is holding back the Buhari administration from awarding the contract for the bridge.
He stated that the delay by the procurement agency in concluding the due process that will lead to the eventual contract award by the government “may force the construction giant to demobilize from site in June, until the contract is approved and awarded to it legally.”
Already, Okechukwu revealed that Julius Berger was scheduled to complete early earth work on the bridge by June, warning that unless the BPP approves the contract for procurement, the construction firm may leave site and remobilising to site might cost an estimated N10 billion.
“The government hasn’t awarded the contract for the second Niger bridge. And Julius Berger is due to stop work by June and if they demobilize and mobilize again, it’s going to be very expensive.
“I’m aware that the ministry has concluded their negotiations with Julius Berger and submitted it to due process. Due process are the ones holding the process down.
“Julius Berger is working. They’re piecemeal early earth works one, two, three and four. Early earth works four will end in June. If it ends, you’ll go through procurement again.
“So, why are you not procuring the entire contract? And there is no framework for expenditure of money put in the budget if you don’t have a contract. The money put in the budget will be a waste if you don’t award the contract.
“And why should you award four different contracts going through processes for the past three to four years. So, there must be an end to every litigation.
“If this contract is not awarded prior to the end of June, it will be colossal in terms of the economic and financial consequences in the contract execution.
“If Julius Berger demobilizes and has to mobilize again, it will cost not less than N10 billion. And more importantly, you’ll not be able to take advantage of the seasonal weather issues,” he said. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/05/fg-hasnt-awarded-2nd-niger-bridge-contract-reps-cttee/
