Then, you are living in a "fool's paradise". Was it not on this forum that it was posted that none of the girls were defiled, and that the girl with a baby was pregnant before her abduction? Your fulishness is hereditary!

vatiqan:
But we were told all the girls were still virgins. So, I need an explanation from Lie Mohammed!

The Chief of Army Staff, Maj. Gen. Tukur Buratai, may have concluded plans to establish a Special Task Force Battalion to be located in the dreaded Sambisa Forest.

It was learnt on Sunday that the establishment of the new brigade was meant to take the battle to the insurgents in their stronghold and operational domain.

It was gathered also that the plan to establish the force brigade was part of efforts to re-organise the Army.

Sunday PUNCH had exclusively reported that the Army had dissolved its court-martial.

According to the report, cases of some soldiers will also be revisited.

The Army spokesman, Col Sani Umar, had on Saturday said that the force was reviewing all recent disciplinary cases due to the wave of litigation by some aggrieved personnel.

It was learnt that the plan to establish a brigade at Sambisa forest was to flush insurgents out of the forest.

The latest move is believed to be part of the comprehensive plans to get the insurgents out of their Sambisa base and prevent them from having territories which they could use to carry out attacks in the Lake Chad Basin area.

A security source, who confided in one of our correspondents, said that the planned brigade to be named the 29th Special Task Force Brigade under 7th Division would be saddled with the responsibility of pursuing the insurgents in the vast area.

It was stated that the Army Chief decided to create the additional brigade to confront the insurgents in Sambisa because of the belief that some terrorists still maintain hideouts in the forest from which they carry out attack on civilian settlements.

The source said, “The new Chief is planning a new brigade in the mission area. The brigade is to be called 29th Special operations Brigade under the 7th division of the Nigerian Army.

“You know that the Sambisa Forest is very vast and they are still staging their attacks from the forest. What the Chief wants to do is to establish the brigade in the forest and take the fight to them.

“The brigade will be there permanently to go after the insurgents, destroy their stronghold and restore sanity in the area. The troops are very excited about the idea.”

The insurgents have launched four attacks on Buratai, the home town of the COAS in Borno State since the first attack in February 2014.

The last attack which was repelled took place last Monday.

A security analyst, Ben Okezie, frowned on the planned establishment of a brigade inside Sambisa Forest, saying he did not understand the rationale behind the decision.

He noted that the move was unnecessary since the army has a division in Borno State where the forest is located.

Okezie stated that what the army needed were better strategies to tackle the insurgents, noting that the military could re-engage retired major generals to assist with the battle against terrorists.

He also dismissed the relocation of the Command and Control Centre to Maiduguri, saying it might not achieve any result.

Meanwhile, the Director of Public Relations and Information of the Nigerian Air Force, Dele Alonge, has said that the fighter pilots of the NAF and the ground forces repelled an attack on Bita town by the insurgents on Sunday.

Alonge said that the Air Force deployed its Alpha Jets to aid the ground troops to prevent the Boko Haram’s incursion into Bita.

Why can't people just stay in opposition

A former Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, Mr. Ima Niboro, has joined the All Progressives Congress.

Niboro was ushered into the APC on Monday at his residence in Udu Local Government Area of Delta.

He told NAN that, “My membership of the APC is true.’’

Niboro, a former Senior Special Assistant on Media to Former President Goodluck Jonathan, s[b]aid his joining the APC was meant to align Delta with the government at the national level and to galvanise development.[/b]

He said, “It is not a sudden switch. I have had 18 months to study the situation as it concerned my ward, local government, community and even my state.

“I have to conclude that there is time for everything. This is the time for us in Delta to link up with the Federal Government in order to bring development to our land.

“We cannot at this critical point of our history be left out of Federal Government’s development agenda.

“There is no synergy between Delta and the Federal Government and we cannot achieve that synergy when we are working at cross-purposes. (Sorry, are you just coming to this conclusion?)

“We must work together to achieve that synergy,’’ NAN quotes him as saying.

Niboro, a former Peoples Democratic Party member, decried the level of infrastructure decay in Delta.(Kai! Upon spending 16 years at the centre under PDP? Na wa o)

He was formally received by APC stalwarts in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta, where he hailed from.

I made as much as 400k last month on my own and already blew 250k of that money on house project.

WTF are u talking about? The problem is large scale ignorance and people do not realise yet that they can actually earn MORE than that, even 4X that amount.

Sibrah:

Sibrah:
It is you that's pathetic man. N30K now is like N18k before recession going by its buying power. You think one can rent an apartment, further your studies, support a relative with that kind of money ? They do CBN job 'coded' and shout about N30k job.
Let's do it like this, FG wage bill before they busted ghost workers was some N20bn higher than it is now. If they pay those guys N100,000 each, 200,000 will pay their salary. Why pay them N30k then? That N30k is like N18k before the recession.

Though the price of sweet crude, the blend of oil export from Nigeria, rose marginally at the close of trading on Wednesday to $76.96 per barrel, it has already crashed below the $79 per barrel benchmark approved in the 2014 Appropriation Act, concerns are mounting that tough times are indeed ahead.

VP Osinbajo explains the 6 Social Protection Programs of the Buhari Administration

As the National Assembly begins debating the 2016 Budget submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari, there are specific provisions in the proposals that will confront poverty in the country in a bold and direct way according to the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

“We are dealing with the issues of poverty with the 2016 Budget that is currently being debated,” the Vice President said during a courtesy visit by a delegation of Reckitt Benckiser West Africa, a household care products’ company led by its West Africa Managing Director, Mr. Rahul Murgai and the Chairman in Nigeria, Chief Olu Falomo.

All together there are 6 social protection programmes of the Buhari administration for which funds have been allocated in the 2016 budget. These are:
1. Teach Nigeria, where 500,000 graduates would be hired as teachers,
2. Youth Employment and Empowerment-where between 300,000-500,000 youths would go through skills acquisition and vocational training,
3. the Conditional Cash Transfer, where one million extremely poor Nigerians will receive N5000 monthly this year,
4. Homegrown School Feeding where one meal a day would be served to public primary school children across the country,
5. Free Education for tertiary education 100,000 students of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and
6. the Micro-Credit Scheme that will give N60,000 one time soft loans to market women, and artisans.

The company had earlier discussed with the VP its ‘Save the Children’ Initiative, a Corporate Social Responsibility programme designed to curb the deaths of Nigerian children caused by Diarrhea.

While welcoming the initiative, Prof. Osinbajo explained that a lot has to be done in the country to confront poverty and its impacts on Nigerians.

He said for the first time in the nation’s history about half a trillion Naira is being provided for the six social investment programmes.

The Vice President commended the company for its intervention saying “this is the sort of thing we expect from those who have the resources.”
