Boko Haram Islamists killed 10 people, including two
soldiers, and torched several homes during a raid in
northern Cameroon, security sources said Thursday.
Wednesday’s attack in the town of Blame, near
the Nigerian border, led to the deaths “of two
soldiers from BIR (an elite army unit) and eight
civilians,” a security source said.
A BIR officer also confirmed the toll.
The Islamists also burnt several houses in the
town, which lies near Lake Chad, before
retreating to Nigeria, the security source said.
A Cameroonian soldier was killed and two others
wounded Tuesday in another Boko Haram attack
in the north of the country.
Nigeria’s neighbours Chad, Cameroon and Niger,
which have all suffered attacks by Boko Haram,
launched a regional force earlier this year to end
a conflict that has claimed more than 15,000
lives since 2009.
Many of the insurgents are hiding out in Lake
Chad, a shallow, marshy water body dotted with
hundreds of islets, and in Nigeria’s Sambisa
Forest near the border with Cameroon.

RIVERS State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, on
Wednesday, dismissed the claims that his
administration was attacking the immediate past
governor of the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, in
order to deprive him (Amaechi) of a ministerial
appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Wike explained that rather than worry about the
possible appointment of Amaechi into President
Buhari’s cabinet, he was interested in how the
state’s funds were managed under the former
governor.
He pointed out that a situation where nothing
was left in the state’s treasury on his assumption
of office as governor was annoying, worrisome
and unacceptable.
Wike, who spoke through his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Opunabo Inko-Taria, told
newsmen in Port Harcourt that it was illogical for
anybody to claim that his complaint about
corruption in the immediate past administration
had any link with Amaechi likelihood of getting a
federal appointment.
“So, what is he (Ameachi) going to do to him
(Wike) as a minister or Federal Government
appointee? Wike has not told anybody that he
does not want President Buhari to appoint
Amaechi as a minister. He has never said it;
these are just insinuations and innuendos.
“If Mr. President, known for his mantra of zero
tolerance for corruption; is saying that he is not
going to appoint anybody with a stained image
as a member of his cabinet and Rivers people
are saying that Rotimi Amaechi is not qualified
for an appointment, there is no problem with
that.
“But the truth is that paint Amaechi black, if he
(Buhari) does not want to appoint him
(Amaechi), he will not. Paint Amaechi white, if
the President is not interested in him, he will not
appoint him.
“The talk about whether Amaechi should be
appointed into Buhari’s cabinet is just the feeling
from Rivers’ people and not the governor
himself. He has never discussed the issue of
whether Amaechi should be appointed by Mr.
President or not.
“The governor is more interested in how the
funds of Rivers State were spent; whether they
were judiciously spent or they were just frittered
away. That is the interest because it is annoying
that when we took over, we met an empty
treasury,” Wike said.
He expressed worry that those responsible for
emptying the state’s treasury were the same
people accusing him of taking N30bn loan within
a month.
He said, “They forgot that you are supposed to
pay salaries; you are supposed to open the
judiciary. The governor gave the judiciary N300m
for takeoff and he also had to pay some of the
students abroad who were owed allowances.
Civil servants, pensioners and footballers, who
were owed salaries, were paid.”

DELTA State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has
called for a full implementation of the universal
healthcare system as encapsulated in the
National Health Act 2014.
Okowa, who spoke at the 10th Annual All
Fellows Congress and Scientific Conference of
the National Postgraduate Medical College of
Nigeria, said “an important step in this
reorientation process will be a robust health
insurance scheme that gives access to
affordable and quality health services, backed by
an effective legislation.”
According to him, “the universal healthcare is a
coverage that is funded by the government and
provides healthcare for citizens.” He noted that
“the right to health” supersedes other rights.
He stressed that “providing affordable, quality
and accessible healthcare should be a foremost
cardinal policy and programme of any
government because national developmental
aspirations cannot succeed or be sustained
unless adequate attention is paid to the
population’s health status.”
Therefore, the “National Health Act remains
Nigeria’s best option at achieving quality and
accessible healthcare for its citizens. The
National Health Act 2014 provides, for the first
time, an all-encompassing legal framework for
the delivery of affordable and quality healthcare
in Nigeria.
“In synergy with an efficient health financing
system, they ensure that quality health service
becomes affordable and accessible, with citizens
becoming the ultimate beneficiaries.”
The governor stressed the need for a clear
national strategy that defines the comprehensive
vision of a healthcare system that creates value
for both the patient and the healthcare provider,
and the processes required to achieve it.
He disclosed that the Executive Bill on Delta
State Contributory Health Commission has been
forwarded to the House of Assembly, with effort
to ensure it is passed into law this year.
When passed into law, Okowa said, the bill would
increase the demand for health services in the
state, so he solicited the partnership of the
college in attaining of this goal.

The Senate President Bukola Saraki has said
that the Senate has nothing to hide.
The senate president made this statement
while receiving the leadership of the All
Progressive Congress Youth Forum (APYF) in
his office as part of the celebration of this
year’s International Youth Day.
According to him, the 8th Senate is
committed to openness as he plans to
introduce the e-parliament system.
it was gathered that the e-
parliament being planned by the Senate is
meant to give voice to Nigerians who will
want to contribute to discussions on issues
concerning the upper chamber of the
legislature.
Saraki said: “I want to assure you, despite all
what you read in the papers, be rest assured
that we are here for serious business. We are all
committed to make a difference and my doors
are open. Very soon, from what I am being told
from the Senate Committee on Rules and
Business, we are trying to move fast about the
e-parliament so that everybody here can know
what we are doing and they can also contribute
to some of the discussions.
“We want to make this place as open as
possible. There is nothing here we are hiding.
What is our great motivation? Nigerians spoke
at the last elections and I don’t think they spoke
for things to be the same and we must not let it
be the same. We must ensure that it is
positively different.
“For example, the issue of rebuilding the
Northeast. We believe there are no schools.
There are no hospitals. There are no homes.
That cannot come from normal budgetary
allocation or appropriations. As a country, we
must make a special case for the rebuilding of
the Northeast and again, that is going to come
from the support of the National Assembly and
that is an area of focus for us.”
Meanwhile, the Senate has urged the Central
Bank of Nigeria to carry out a vigorous
campaign of the Bank Verification exercises in
rural areas.

Just ahead of the
presidential election, the former president of
the country, Oluesegun Obasanjo, announces
his resignation from the Peoples Democratic
Party.
Moreover, Chief OBJ orders his aide to tear
intro pieces his membership card.
There were first insinuations that the
prominent Nigerian, whose opinion matters a
lot for the country citizens, might change his
political affiliations. However, Obasanjo stated
clearly that he was not going to join any other
political party, but remain “a statesman both
internally and externally”. He vowed to assist
anyone who is in need of his advice.
He reinstated his position on August 10 while
speaking from his Abeokuta residence.
Interestingly, however, after the elections
Chief Obasanjo seems to have
been too actively involved in Nigeria’s political
life for a partyless man.
Mr Obasanjo has been in the headlines
recently almost as often as President
Muhammadu Buhari. Let us recall some of
the latest occasions and news.
1. August 7
Chief Obasanjo held a closed-door meeting
with President Buhari. Details were not made
public,but sources disclosed that it had been
connected with the earlier visit by Turai
Yar’Adua to OBJ when she allegedly
complained to the elder statesman about
having problems with “Buhari people”.
2. August 3 report
Obasanjo insisted that the immediate past
coordinating minister of the economy, Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, had changed under the regime
of Goodluck Jonathan.
“But take Ngozi (Okonjo-Iweala), who worked
for me. And who worked competently for me.
Because I know Ngozi’s weaknesses, but I know
her strong points. Her strong point is technical
competence. But Ngozi needs to be led and to
be supervised. Now will you comment on Ngozi
who worked for me as the same Ngozi who
worked for Jonathan? Will you?”
3. August 4
The former president outlined the major
problems he faced during his term in
office. He said that bunkering and vandalism
were the “most challenging problems” and he
therefore insured the institutionalisation of the
NSCDC through an act of Parliament to deal
with the issue.
4. July 27
Obasanjo met with the new Ogun police
commissioner, following which he urged
Nigerians to fully assist the country police to
allow its staff to effectively fulfill their duties.
5. July 21
The ex PDP member alleged during the
interview on Channels TV that Goodluck
Jonathan paid some people to attack him over
his controversial autobiography “My Watch”.
It should be noted that the book contains
quite a number of unfavourable comments
about GEJ and the weaknesses of his
administration.
These are just some of the reports about
Obasanjo speaking up on various topics,
sharing his thoughts and meeting with country
seniors… The recent development can be
indicative of the following:
1. Obasanjo has passed a vote of confidence
to President Muhammadu Buhari and is open
to provide full assistance to the new
government. Considering the escalating
conflict between Obasanjo and Jonathan, it
was not possible for the two politicians to
cooperate, even though they belonged to one
and the same party.
2. OBJ is simply fulfilling his duties as a
Nigerian who vowed to remain helpful and
open for those who need his advice. The case
might be not about Buhari and his way of
change, but about the political change in
general.

On Tuesday, August 11, 2015, the Nigerian currency dropped against the US dollar at the parallel market. Traders says that the drop was driven by demand mainly from individuals travelling abroad for summer holidays and importers. According to Reuters, the naira was quoted at 224 to the greenback at the black market. At the official interbank market, the dollar costs 197 since February. Harrison Owoh, an operator of Nigerian Bureaux de Change (BDC), said: “We’ve seen a surge in dollar demand since Friday.” He stated that the bank sold around $160m to BDC’s last week to increase dollar supply. The source notes that BDCs are allowed to sell up to $4,000 as personal travelling allowance and $5,000 as business travelling allowance. Last week the naira was appreciated to 216 at the parallel market after banks had started denying their customers opportunity to make cash deposits of dollar, pound and euro into their domiciliary accounts.

Popular car manufacturers, Ford Motor Company has indicated its interest in assembling the Ford Ranger pickup truck in Nigeria. The proposed assembling plant is in partnership with its dealer in sub-Saharan Africa, Coscharis Motors Limited, owned by Nigerian billionaire, Cosmas Maduka. The project will commence by the fourth quarter of this year, as the company seeks to expand in Africa and the Middle East, Indiantimes.com reports. Jeff Nemeth, the president and CEO of Ford Motor Company’s business in sub-Saharan Africa, told Reuters, “Nigeria is a priority market for us in sub-Saharan Africa. Depending on how Nigeria develops over time … we are potentially looking at using our Nigerian plant to service West Africa,” he told Reuters. “The auto market in Africa’s biggest economy has huge potential but retails only a small amount of new vehicles annually”, Nemeth added. He pointed out that the sector is dominated by imported used vehicles, while limited financing for consumers to buy new vehicles and the absence of an industrial policy that would encourage suppliers to set up in Nigeria remains a major challenge. Ford produces 85,000 units each year in South Africa, which are sold across 24 African countries. “It would take between 1 to 2 months to take an order, build it and deliver it within the country. If you order from overseas it would take between 4 to 6 months,” Nemeth said. Car makers like KIA, Nissan and Volkswagen had also indicated interest in opening assembling plants in Nigeria too in the past.

every politician have skeleton in dia cupboards

ECOTERRORS:
Obj ruined this country by playing God

DAT is all politics for u

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
has said that people, who had frantically
involved in fault finding with the President
Muhammadu Buhari’s government, were those
had skeletons in their cupboards.
The party in a statement via Lai Mohammed,
its spokesperson, has said the disruptions
being scored by certain elements in the polity
will not discourage Buhari from its affirmed
determination to save Nigeria from the
clutches of those who are holding the country
by the jugular.
The statement reads in part: “These paranoid
and skittish people daily run to the media to
disparage the Buhari administration. Grasping at
their straws, they condemn and criticize
everything from appointments to the war against
corruption and the battle against insecurity,
even though the party to which they belong had
16 years to make things right for Nigeria but
chose to suck the country dry, enthrone
insecurity and pauperize the citizenry.
“Their design is simple: Make enough
incoherent noise in the media with the hope that
the administration will be distracted.
Unfortunately for them, they have failed in their
evil machination, because this president can
neither be deterred nor be distracted. While
their dogs continue to bark, the caravan of the
Buhari administration proceeds on its steadfast
journey.”
The ruling party questioned how the APC-led
administration can be accused of the blatant
denial of the last government to sufficiently
equip the army to confront the Boko Haram
terrorists, when even an appointee of the
administration told the whole world that he
was the head of a military that lacked the
relevant equipment and motivation to fight an
insurgency.
“What achievement is there for anyone to
appropriate from an administration that will go
down in history as the most rapacious,
incompetent and clueless in the history of our
nation?” it questioned.
According to the APC the Buhari government
in less than three months has commenced a
strong footing in many areas, including the
fight against insurgency, the battle against
corruption, the reform of the oil sector that
was the private piggy bank of the last
government, the overdue clean-up of the Niger
Delta region, which was outrageously
neglected by a Jonathan who was from that
region.
“With its sure-footed efforts in all the listed
areas already attracting national and
international acclaim, does it not beggar belief
that the same Buhari Administration will be
accused by the apologists of the failed regime
of appropriating their dubious achievements?”
the APC said.
The war of words between two main political
parties seem not have slowed down.
The opposition Peoples Democratic Congress
has recently blasted Buhari, saying that the
incumbent leader of the nation has stolen the
achievements of his predecessor.

Donald Duke, the former Cross River state governor, has disclosed some of the intrigues that led to the appearance of Alhaji Shehu Musa Yar’Adua as the PDP presidential flag bearer and how he came to be replaced by ex-president Goodluck Jonathan as Yar’Adua’s running mate. The former governor discussed this in the first edition of a magazine, The Interview, published by the former group managing director of Leadership Newspapers. Duke recounted how Yar’Adua never sought to be president and that the late president had contacted him on three occasions seeking his agreement to be his running mate. He said: “ You don’t give authority to an unwilling person, particularly in a country like Nigeria. Umaru never wanted to be president. He was dealing with his health issues and wanted to retire and go lecture in a university. He was really offered an appointment at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. Jonathan, on the other hand, had just been re-elected to be governor of Bayelsa and when he was picked, he was not so pleased. He said to Obasanjo and me, ‘I don’t want this job.’ “If these two men never aspired to the office but were recruited to take on a responsibility as daunting as the management of Nigeria without mentally preparing for the office and having a grand vision of where they wanted to take Nigeria to, then there is a problem. The mental preparation is absolutely important. The vision can be scripted for you, but if you are not prepared and you have no capable team to help you follow through, it is grossly unfair. It is like converting a passenger on an aircraft to a pilot.” Duke clarified that the serious mistake of saddling men who were unprepared with the duty of running the country is what has brought the country to its present state. After the 2007 resolution that made the late Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan the PDP aspirants for president and vice president, Duke was cited as saying that Nigeria would regret the decision. Duke explained the remark by saying: “ It is one prophecy I wish never came to pass. Some people regretted it while others came out looking really good”. “I put myself forward for the presidency in 2007. Umaru Yar’Adua approached me thrice to run along with him and thrice I agreed. The third time, he came with Ibrahim Shema, who later became governor of Katsina State, asking me again. I was exasperated and I said, ‘Look, Umaru, we have agreed on this, but it is still your decision to make.’ He said, ‘Gladly, I would think so, but I would discuss with President Obasanjo.’ I said, ‘Very well, do that and let me know.’ That was the last I heard of it. Then, I got word from party operatives that we should go into a party convention with one candidate for unity of purpose. At that point, it was inconceivable that I would win the primaries; I would only spend money and still lose. I backed out. The rest is history. There is a story making the rounds that I rejected it.” “ I never did. Umaru is not alive today, but I did not. Later on, Obasanjo said to me that he thought I had a personality that was so strong and would be in conflict with Umaru who appeared so weak. I said it was all spilt milk. Umaru could appear weak, but he was not, which we now know. Secondly, he said he didn’t want a repeat of the conflict he had with Abubakar Atiku, his vice president at the time.” Yar’Adua was the president of Nigeria and the 13th head of state. He was announced the winner of the controversial Nigerian presidential poll held on 21 April 2007, and was sworn in on 29 May 2007.

The commander-general of the National
School Crime Preventing Corps (NSCPC), Ige
Folarin of the Nigeria Legion has described
cultism in secondary schools as a tragedy
that should be eradicated quickly.
No to cultism
Folarin disclosed this on Monday August 9 at
a 3-day National Stakeholders summit on
Menace of Social Vices in Schools , held at the
NSCPC headquarters, Abeokuta, Ogun state.
Folarin explained that the summit was meant
to provide means to eradicate and prevent
crime in secondary schools, saying that the
issue of cultism was moving deep into
secondary schools and should be checked.
According to him, “We need to tell the youths
about the genesis of cultism, we need to let
stakeholders know that the issue of cultism is
moving deep into secondary schools.
“A cult member could be defined as someone
who uses gun, cutlass, sharp objects and
charms for criminal acts and these are the same
things robbers robbers use.
“We are letting people know in the exposition
that cultism is now in secondary schools, we
should all rise as stakeholders to prevent this
act so that the society will be a better
place,” Ige suggested.
Also speaking at the summit, consultant to
the Ogun state government on Parking
Management Scheme, Wale Yussuf, submitted
that the issue of cultism, social vices,
immoral attitudes in schools had become
worrisome.
“It boils to the fact that some parents are not
showing enough concern and attention to their
children and also some children are also not
showing great concern in their studies.
“And again we believe this bad act is
predominant in higher institutions. It is high
time we lecture, enlighten primary and
secondary school students on the best way to
live their lives without engaging in any bad
attitude like drugs, cultism and other vices,” he
said.

Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria’s former
president, outlined the major problems which
he faced during his eight-year tenure in
office.
Obasanjo spoke about his years of
presidency on Tuesday, August 4, at his
residence in Abeokuta, Ogun state, as he
received Ade Abolurin (rtd), the former corp
commandant of Nigeria Security and Civil
Defence Corp (NSCDC).
According to Vanguard, he said that bunkering
and vandalism were the “most challenging
problems” and he therefore insured the
institutionalisation of the NSCDC through an
act of Parliament to deal with the issue.
“Some of the things that I had to confront
during my tenure as President of Nigeria were
pipeline vandalism, holdup, and stealing of
crude oil.
“That stealing is what they call bunkering; there
is nothing like bunkering, it is outright
stealing. We used all the available agencies and
resources; and your organisation as a voluntary
organisation, unpaid, unremunerated,
unrecognised and not institutionalised, was
doing great job without being armed and without
being equipped.
“That meant the height of commitment,
nationalism, patriotism and service to fatherland
and service to humanity. Of course, I didn’t
hesitate to move ahead for an act of Parliament
to be able to organise you into what you are
today.”
He further lamented over the “lack of
continuity” in Nigeria expressing hope,
however, that this will not be the problem in
the NSCDC.
“I hope in your own case and this organisation,
there would be continuity; continuity not for the
man coming after you to do everything exactly
like you have done it.
“It is not possible even if the person coming
after you is your biological son, he wouldn’t do
everything the way you would want to do it. As I
am talking to you, I am also talking to your
successor and I believe that where you have
taken this organisation to, those coming after
you will be able to build over it.”
Chief Obasanjo has recently spoke out on the
issue of bad journalism when he received the
former secretary of the Nigerian Union of
Journalists on his 53rd birthday. OBJ, the
author of My Watch autobiography, criticized
non-professionals working in the sphere of
media calling them “bad eggs” who should not
be allowed to cover the country news.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday,
August 4, gave instructions to the newly-
appointed managing director of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) ,
while an insider source made breaking
disclosures.
It should be recalled that Emmanuel Ibe
Kachikwu was yesterday announced as the
new NNPC boss in an attempt to restore the
reputation of the body the tops of which are
often accused of being involved in corruption
schemes.
According to The Nation, Buhari
urged Kachikwu to first focus on the recovery
of the stolen oil funds.
A source disclosed that Kachikwu might also
be appointed the Minister of State
for Petroleum Sources. The other candidates
for the position reportedly include the former
executive secretary of the Petroleum
Products Prices Regulatory Agency, Stanley
Reginald; the managing director of the Shell
Petroleum Development, Osagie Okunbor, and
the NNPC deputy general manager (name not
provided).
Chargin Kachikwu on his new duties,
President Buhari gave him six terms of
reference to reshape the corporation:
1. To clean up the organization of corrupt
officials;
2. To recover stolen oil money;
3. To work in cooperation with the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission and the
Directorate of State Service to ensure the
successful fulfillment of point 2;
4. To review the NNPC structure for the body
competitive on a global scale;
5. To set goals for all subsidiaries; and
6. To fix the all the national refineries for
them to work to maximum effect.
The source also narrated how the new NNPC
had been chosen:
“The new GMD of NNPC was picked after a
thorough search by the President. Actually, at
the end of the search, the choice was narrowed
down to four candidates.
“The President opted for Kachikwu who is the
Vice President of Exxon Mobil, not only in
Nigeria but in Africa. Buhari was impressed by
his impeccable credentials as the most senior
black African in any multi-national oil firm in the
world with 30 years experience.
“Apart from being a First Class graduate,
Kachikwu also obtained PhD in Law which
enabled him to rise to company secretary in
Exxon Mobil…
“In their negotiation, President Buhari repeatedly
said: ‘I won’t interfere with your work; I will give
you a free hand because I want to reform this
oil sector once and for all.’ The GMD accepted
the job following what he realized as ‘the
infectious patriotism and genuine intention of
the President’.”
President Buhari has been focusing on the
two major challenges after the assumption of
office: security and corruption. During the
election campaign, the APC candidate vowed
to eliminate insurgency and deal with public
funds embezzlement, which was believed to
be flourishing under the immediate past
administration.
The work is ongoing in both directions. As for
the first objective, the country head has made
many new appointments in the army
leadership, has negotiated with the
international leaders on the support and
cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
As far as the anti-corruption battle is
concerned, Buhari has noted that his
government took steps to identify the banks
and countries where the stolen oil money was
held. The president also considers dividing
the NNPC.

3. The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) The mainstream media have had much to say about the Islamist brutality of Boko Haram, but one terrorist group they haven’t paid nearly as much attention to is the Lord’s Resistance Army—which was founded by Joseph Kony (a radical Christianist) in Uganda in 1987 and has called for the establishment of a severe Christian fundamentalist government in that country. The LRA, according to Human Rights Watch, has committed thousands of killings and kidnappings—and along the way, its terrorism spread from Uganda to parts of the Congo, the Central African Republic (CAR) and South Sudan. The word “jihadist” is seldom used in connection with the LRA, but in fact, the LRA’s tactics are not unlike those of ISIS or Boko Haram. And the governments Kony hopes to establish in Sub-Saharan Africa would implement a Christianist equivalent of Islamic Sharia law. 4. TheNational Liberation Front of Tripura India is not only a country of Hindus and Sikhs, but also, of Muslims, Buddhists, Catholics and Protestants. Most of India’s Christians are peaceful, but a major exception is the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT). Active in the state of Tripura in Northeastern India since 1989, NLFT is a paramilitary Christianist movement that hopes to secede from India and establish a Christian fundamentalist government in Tripura. NLFT has zero tolerance for any religion other than Christianity, and the group has repeatedly shown a willingness to kill, kidnap or torture Hindus who refuse to be converted to its extreme brand of Protestant fundamentalism. In 2000, NLFT vowed to kill anyone who participated in Durga Puja (an annual Hindu festival) And in May 2003, at least 30 Hindus were murdered during one of NLFT’s killing sprees. 5. The Phineas Priesthood White supremacist groups don’t necessarily have a religious orientation: some of them welcome atheists as long as they believe in white superiority. But the Christian Identity movement specifically combines white supremacist ideology with Christianist terrorism, arguing that violence against non-WASPs is ordained by God and that white Anglo Saxon Protestants are God’s chosen people. The modern Christian Identity movement in the U.S. has been greatly influenced by the Ku Klux Klan—an organization that has committed numerous acts of terrorism over the years—and in the 1970s, new Christian Identity groups like the Aryan Nations and the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord (CSA) emerged. Another Christian Identity group of recent decades has been the Phineas Priesthood, whose members have been involved in violent activities ranging from abortion clinic bombings to bank robberies (mainly in the Pacific Northwest). On November 28, 2014, Phineas Priesthood member Larry Steven McQuilliams went on a violent rampage in Austin, Texas—where he fired over 100 rounds at various targets (including a federal courthouse, the local Mexican Consulate building and a police station) before being shot and killed by police. http:// www.salon.com/2015/04/07/6_modern_day_christian

Cameroon discloses new details about Boko
Haram overnight attack on Tchakarmari in the
northern part of the country.
The News informs that earlier report indicated
that seven persons were killed and 20
kidnapped.
However, according to the latest information
based on the estimates of local government
and military sources, at least eight people
were killed and about 100 others were
kidnapped.
The source notes that Tchakarmari lies
north of Maroua, where dozens of people
were killed in a series of suicide bombings by
the Nigerian Islamist group last month.
An anonymous source in local government
said: “Residents said the attackers headed
back to Nigeria where Cameroon is not allowed
to pursue them”.
One of the senior military officers disclosed
that the attackers had crossed over from
Nigeria shortly after midnight.
It is important to note that for struggle
against Boko Haram Cameroon has already
deployed about 7,000 troops as part of a
regional force which includes Chad, Niger and
Nigeria.

These are troubling times for Nigeria’s
immediate past National Security Adviser,
Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) as a large scale
investigation into the financial dealings
during his time as NSA has commenced.
The residence of Dasuki in the Asokoro
district of Abuja was under siege by
operatives of the DSS last two week for
almost 48 hours.
Reports claimed huge sums of cash in
Nigerian and foreign currency were found
when his residence in Abuja and Sokoto were
ransacked by DSS operatives
A highly placed government official, who
declined being identified, told The Cable that
sensitive documents, including cheques and
bank transactions, were seized in Dasuki’s
houses.
However, the DSS, is yet to reveal its findings
its findings in Dasuki’s houses as the security
agency only said it found “incriminating
evidence” against Sambo while searching his
properties.
There were also allegations of “treasonable
felony” against the Sokoto-born prince, even
as Dasuki was quick to rebuff the claims of
the DSS, claiming his travails were politically
motivated.
Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, had aslo
described Dasuki’s arrest as a sign of
dictatorship. The security operatives
reportedly took with them $40,000, three
automatic rifles and Dasuki’s travel
documents before they vacated his residence.
The source did not give a breakdown of the
cash reportedly recovered but said the
biggest find so far is in the paper trail “which
is yielding significant leads”.
Recall that after ending the siege at Dasuki’s
residence, some operatives of the DSS moved
to his friend’s home, Bello Fadipe.
The Peoples Democratic Party had also
criticised the invasion and occupation of
Dasuki’s residence accusing President
Muhammadu Buhari of threatening aides of
former president Goodluck Jonathan.

Wife of the President of the Senate, Mrs.
Toyin Saraki has called on mothers to
exclusively breastfeed their babies especially
during the first six months of a child’s life to
guarantee a healthier lifespan.
According to a press statement made
available to Naij.com, Mrs Saraki stated this
while addressing nursing mothers and
stakeholders in the health sector during this
year’s World Breastfeeding Week celebration
in Abuja, Mrs. Saraki stated that breastfeeding
is a bridge between maternal health and child
health.
She stressed that it is high time our nursing
mothers renew their willingness to optimally
breastfeed their infants and adopt inclusive
nutritional feeding practices for children.
“I urge our mothers to imbibe the habit of
exclusive breastfeeding for our newborns. It is
very important to put the baby to your breast
within the first 30 minutes after birth to
stimulate milk production.
“Exclusive breastfeeding means giving
breastmilk only, and nothing else, no foods, or
liquids, not even sips of water, except for
medicines prescribed by a doctor or nurse.
“Mixing breastmilk with other milks, foods and
liquids before six months is not healthy for your
baby. It reduces the amount of milk that you
produce and can make your baby sick” Mrs.
Saraki advised.
She further encouraged mothers in Nigeria to
ensure their babies are delivered in a
government certified health facility, and safe
childbirth by a skilled midwife with access to
appropriate medical referral.
Experts from various health institutions and
international organizations, such as the World
Health Organization, Federal Ministry of
Health, Wellbeing Foundation Africa, Family
Health Department, who spoke in different
fora on this year’s theme, “Breastfeeding and
Work: let’s make it work” solicited for support
from all stakeholders to encourage
breastfeeding mothers working in both formal
and informal places and communities to
continue optimal exclusive breastfeeding
practices even during work hours.
Recently, Mrs Saraki degrading treatment
melted on patients, especially pregnant
women during anti-natal and post-natal care
by medical practitioners in the country.
