I graduated from the same department and same Unimaid, so it pains me to read this sad story, how on earth will this thing happen? 8 Hilux with or without security? Why would the govt risk all this if proper security arrangements aren't made to secure their movement? I learnt that they depend heavily on "hunters" for their security.

FLASH: Oil prospectors abducted by Boko Haram are from the University of Maiduguri & @NNPCgroup they were traveling with about 8 Hilux vans

The names of the abducted UNIMAID staff are: Dr.Militus J.V; Dr.Solomon N.Y; Mr.Manaja N.UBA; Mr.Yusuf Ibrahim; Alh.Kolo; Mr.Daniel Birma

Only in the land of the rising sun can such abomination happen,

Well since it's not a Nigerian issue let me keep my mouth shut before someone start shouting "Goat Fraud" everywhere after all everything about that side is fraud.

Season of lies and fraud everywhere in the land of the Rising sun

I dey North come and beat me

Op welldone for putting up this fine "hypothesis", but in reality the possibility of such thing happening is nearly impossible especially in Europe and Most developed countries, here in Africa, it's a different ball game, why? My simple reason is Malaria- yes I said malaria, The malaria parasite has a complex lifecycle and spends part of it in red blood cells. In a carrier, the presence of the malaria parasite causes the red blood cells with defective haemoglobin to rupture prematurely, making the Plasmodium parasite unable to reproduce. Further, the polymerization of Hb affects the ability of the parasite to digest Hb in the first place. Therefore, in areas where malaria is a problem, people's chances of survival actually increase if they carry sickle-cell trait (selection for the heterozygote).
But in a situation whereby the person is not a carrier, it impossible to have SS from non carrier parent, that is why upto now no single scientists came up with this crazy hypothesis of your into reality.

Your hypothesis is similar to the one that says all men have evolve from monkeys but for more than 500years no single monkey not even a baby monkey turns into human

Simple way to analyze and have your answer is straight forward
1. Did you used to have morning arousal?
2. Did you used to experience general body weakness?
3. How long did your erection used to last?
4. What's the volume of your semens?
5. What drugs have you taken in the past for more than a month?
6. How long do you last during sex?

Answers
1. If you used to have morning hard/arousal more than 3times a week then your problem is psychological you may try Revive- a herbal meds that claim to fight psychological erectile-dysfunction but if the answer is no then you may need to do Hormonal essay

2. Lower tetestorone sometimes used to cause weakness and low libido there is treatment for such

3 & 4,5 & 6 are all interconnected

Who is to be blame for this?

I think education is very expensive in the "land of the rising sun" compare to the other part of the federation, how can a student pay 150k for state university and the same state pays graduate a token of 15k as salary?, Agitators direct your anger to the grassroots level first before going "federal", we have to tell ourselves the home truth,

Abati is as confused as the namdis of this world, you think am wrong OK check out this

[/b]but Igbos across all generations, including the millennials who have been socialized into believing that there is a gap between their people and other Nigerians.[b]

[/b]and its people have proven to be enterprising and determined to hold their own in every sphere of life, including outstanding contributions to the making of the Nigerian state[b]
[/b]
I have heard people complain that Igbo tenants are too stubborn or that when you rent a room to an Igbo man, he will end up sub-letting that one room to all kinds of persons from his village, putting pressure on the property’s limited facilities.[b]

[/b]Igbos have also been held responsible for all sorts of things, kidnapping, drug trafficking, child trafficking, armed robbery – even when there are criminals from virtually every community in Nigeria[b]

[/b]Igbos are also obviously the most integrated ethnic group in Nigeria,[b]

Then Abati went to start attacking the Arewa group without reasoning the same way he reasoned with the igbo-haters!! That's double standard and illogical, read this

[/b]Their message is that since Igbos no longer want to be part of Nigeria, they should get out, because they, Arewa youths, do not want belong to the same political union with Igbos.[b]

[/b]The arrogance of the Northern youths is insufferable. It speaks to virtually everything that other Nigerians are uncomfortable with about the Fulani North: a born-to-rule, hegemonic tendency.[b]

But Nigerians are not allowed to be "uncomfortable" with kidnappers, armrobbers and the rest. Hmmmm

[/b]It is an assault on the Nigerian Constitution, to the extent that the Constitution does not grant any individual or group, the right or the power to determine where any Nigerian may live or work or die or acquire property. All Nigerians are equal before the law.[b] but the Kanus of this world are allowed to abuse Yorba, Hausa Fulani and the rest of Nigerians?

It's on record Kanus has directed his people to chase the Hausa Fulani out of the east and call all Yoruba pastors as imbeciles and yet the constitution allow him but not Arewa, hmm

[/b]]When there is a threat to the state, it is their duty to identify the threat and act on it[b] but when kanu was arrested you were in forefront calling for his release and now you are changing dance when same song is still playing

[/b][i][/i]The common enemy is not the secessionists.[b]

Pedophilia is a disease not a genetic thing, pedophile are everywhere and in every class, it's a menace and trending topic this few weeks! We need prayer and the law enforcement agencies to stand up and fight this menace to the barest minimum just like an epidemic

The most difficult challenge that Nigerians face is not the hegemony of the Hausa Fulani ruling class but the ignorance and the slavish mentality of some of those from the Middle Belt and the South they have conquered….Ignorance, cowardice and delusion is the language and practice of slaves. And it is typical of a slave to despise and hate those that seek to liberate him from his slave masters and his chronic bondage” - Femi Fani -Kayode

Under normal circumstances, I would never react to anything written by the former Minister of Aviation and so-called Media Coordinator for the doomed re-election campaign of Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. His antecedents and serial flip-flops in politics foreclosed that.

[/b]His notion of public commentary, for which he always seemed to enjoy lavish space in the social and mainstream media, not only tended to be tainted with unimaginable abuse and disgraceful bigotry, they invariably lacked depth, coherence or even decency.[b] Like his soulmate, the Osun state Governor Ayodele Fayose, conventional wisdom dictated that they be allowed to swim in their own vomit unhindered

Even so, I simply could not resist reacting to the most recent onslaught from Fani-Kayode published in last weekend’s edition of the Vanguard newspaper, excerpts from which I have quoted above. I happen to hail from the North-central part of Nigeria and proudly so!

[/b]It is the same region mercenary or emergency politicians like Fani-Kayode routinely refer to as the ‘Middle-Belt’ of Nigeria at different times, even though they cannot tell where its exact boundaries begin or end. That explains the frequent interchange of the various descriptive terms foisted on the region at different times since our independence.[b] The so-called ‘Middle Belt’ has been more of an enigma to its suitors and predators alike, largely on account of its composition and complexity.

To political journeymen like Fani-Kayode, the so-called [b][/b]Middle Belt is restricted to only the Christian minorities in Plateau, Nassarawa, Kaduna and Benue States despite the best efforts of the likes of Professor Jerry Gana. Blinded by decades of prejudice and incurable ignorance, they hardly contend with the other Christian populations in Niger, Kebbi, Kano, Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states except during election cycles. [/b]And the later four are states in the Northwest and North-eastern parts of Nigeria!

The seeming confusion over the identity of the region, in the eyes of politicians especially those south of the Niger, is often predicated on political expediency, itself the manifestation of a conscious, or unconscious primitive impulse. The same factor masked some, or even all, of the mishaps those who deliberately planned to exploit the region for political capital have experienced since our independence in 1960. Fani-Kayode’s idol Goodluck Jonathan, only happened to be the latest casualty. I shall return to this point in due course.

In the meantime, [b][/b]I have taken special notice of the fact that that he did not list the southern minority groups who have also spoken in the language of slaves for generations using the same standard he established in his incoherent tirade. There is, of course, a reason for that and it is quite instructive.[b]

To include the southern ethnic minorities among his imaginary slaves would have oblitrated the key hypotheses in his pedestrian narrative. His hero, the former President Goodluck Jonathan, is a minority among one of the biggest minority groups in the South - the Ijaw! It is a club the former president shares with the other imaginary slave, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa who hailed from the Gere ethnic group of Bauchi state. I have deliberately chosen to limit my examples to only the Nigerian leaders who were the products of democratic elections no matter how imperfect the processes that produced them may have been.

[/b]I will therefore not bother to list Generals Yakubu Gowon, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha, and, of course, Abdulsalami Abubakar; all of who hailed from the so-called Middle-Belt, or Northern minority groups. It is not even necessary. [b][/b]From the single example of the late Sir Ahmadu Bello the revered former Premiere of the Northern region, we are able to discern a fundamental lesson on political sophistication and sagacity which are sorely lacking in the armoury of almost all Nigerian politicians today regardless of their ancestry.

[b][/b]In a landmark decision which should make Fani-Kayode hide his face in shame, the presumed slave-master - Sir Ahmadu Bello the grandson of Shehu Usman Dan Fodio, the founder of the Fulani or Sokoto caliphate - declined to become the nation’s Prime Minister as the leader of the victorious Northern People Congress (NPC). He voluntarily passed the position onto his ‘slave’ Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, a northern minority[b].

Since 1960, the Nigerian political system has been delicately balanced. None of the big three major ethnic groups is capable of winning elections at the centre without the consummation of alliances between either two of the major groups, and the minorities north or south of the Niger. While the frequent calls for fiscal federalism has its merits, it was also obvious that the frequent calls for the restructuring of the nation was to radically alter the dynamics of the nation’s political terrain which is rightly or wrongly perceived to be in favour of the north.

But even if the nation is eventually restructured for whatever reason, some politicians in the country will still require bridging their skill deficits for as long as democracy is defined by the numbers game. That, of course, will require the deep knowledge and understanding of the unique and distinguishing attributes of the various ethnic and religious groups that make up the nation’s political milieu from the north to the south. Political victories are not like products that can be purchased off the shelf. It requires a measure of political sophistication and mobilization.

The recent book by Olusegun Adeniyi on how the last general election was lost exposed the inherent weaknesses of many Nigerian politicians.

[/b]I disagree with former senate president David Mark’s view that a northern conspiracy contributed to Jonathan’s defeat in the election. In case the former Army Signals man did not know it, his open romance with the former president was an aberration in presidential system expected to be defined by the principle of separation of powers and checks and balances.[b] But that was not the only problem.

The campaign strategy of the Jonathan camp was like an open book. [/b]They believed they had the votes from the south east and the south-south in the bank. They expected the infusion of illicit funds to swing the pendulum in their favour in the southwest regardless of the efforts Bola Tinubu and the APC[b]. They felt the election could be bought regardless of the introduction of card readers. They openly cultivated the Christian vote in the Middle-Belt without fully understanding the dynamics of its demographic constitution.

But the abduction of the Chibok girls who were still yet to be rescued at the time of the elections Jonathan’s subsequent procrastination in mobilizing resources to rescue them in the mistaken belief that it (the abductions) was a northern - read Muslim - conspiracy against his presidency actually exposed the inherent hypocracy in Fani-Kayode’s on the northern minorities. The greater majority of the girls came from Christian families whose votes Jonathan desperately solicited for in churches and even in the process of making policy pronouncements which impacted on the entire nation.

[/b]The abduction of the Chibok girls was a wonderful opportunity for the then president to have demonstrated his avowed love for northern Christian minorities but he failed the test woefully. Instead, we saw a deliberate attempt to milk the tragedy for political capital.
[b]
In an astonishing display of inhumanity, the local chapter of the Christian association of Nigeria (CAN) was made to publish the full list of the Christian abductees among the victims. The list ignored the remaining girls presumed to be Muslims or even animists.

[/b]I have taken all this trouble to reflect on the last election only because it appears Fani-Kayode is yet to recover from the crushing defeat suffered by his principal and is unwilling to learn useful lessons from the reversal. Far from the northern minorities, it is Fani-Kayode who actually needs to be urgently liberated from his state of perpetual hallucination. [b]

It is becoming increasingly event that his uncourt vituperations mask a massive inferiority complex that may require serious medical attention. Ignorance is often excusable, but to serially peddle falsehood calculated to disrupt the peaceful relations between the various ethnic groups in the nation is sheer lunacy which should not be tolerated.

helpforever:
Thank you.

How will you now explaining my not having erection after I wake up.

That's a sign of low tetestorone plus increase body fat (being fat), feeling tired, fail to developed muscles after vigorous exercise,
Just do the hormonal essay

I hope you will read this, impotency or Ed can be caused by a lot of things this include medical condition or birth defect/congenital or psychological and the last is spiritual where a jinn is used to caused impotency or infertility but before you reach that conclusion a sound differential diagnosis needs to be carried out. Medical condition includes tetestorone deficiency caused by either anabolic drug abuse or hypogonadism ( to rule out this condition you need to do hormonal essay), if the cause is anabolic drug abused some drugs may be prescribed to you either OTC or approved ones, tetestorone replacement therapy is another option, if the problem is cause by hypogonadism, doctors can address those one too, if it's birth defect cause by used of some certain drugs by your mom while she is still pregnant or undecinded testes, that one too can be address, let's assume everything is normal upto this point, psychological or mental condition may also need to be ruled out, but drugs like Revive claims to help people with stress and psychological condition ( at this point you need to try that drugs even for a day, if it works then you need to see a counselor for proper counseling).
The jinn part is very tricky, you need a person that knows the terrain very well cause I have heard so many stories from friends how those people help them chased away those jinns and ever since they are living OK. If there is anything you don't understand let me know. Last resort is surgery were blood will be trapped in your penis, it will give you erection but it also has it own problem.

In a country where public corruption is endemic and at same time corrupt people are worship everyday, I think it will be logical since to find a saint is becoming a web of short-cut of a problem and time isn't on our side, at same time the man in question is somehow tested and has shown the zeal and fearlessness needed for a leader to hold such position, I think it will be fair to over look his "small" shortcoming In order to get those that made corruption so lucrative and a job on it own.

Well it can be normal or abnormal, and the position of the vein, and also whether the penile is in the arousal state or not are some of the few factors to consider.

Normal: it's normal to see a visible vein without pain and lumps mostly when you are standing and used to disappear while sitting down its call dorsal vein, it contains deoxygenated blood from the penile to the heart and closed when aroused to allow strong erection .

Abnormal: when the visible vein causes pain or discomfort or contains lump and refused to closed up when aroused then there is a possibility of either thrombosis or vericose vein of the penile, vericose is not serious but thrombose vein can be life threatening and hence the need to see a urologist.

If there is no pain, and you aren't experiencing erection problem, I think there is no cause for alarm

Well things are a bit out of control now, but with strong and positive criticism we will turn the leaf around, I don't like it when you only talk when your source of income is taken a way from you, I like what the guy told Shekau and the word he chooses: more of provocative and deep emotional challenge which hope one of this days Shekau will take the challenge so that this chapter will be closed for good.

Malam Usman Abbas, a younger brother to late Prof. Aliyu Usman Mani, who was killed during a suicide bomb attack at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), has said Abubakar Shekau is a “dead man waiting to go to hell”.

Usman stated this in an open letter to Abubakar Shekau, factional leader of the Boko Haram insurgents, which was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri on Thursday.

“I listened to your audio message in which you claimed responsibility for the suicide bomb attack that killed my brother Professor Aliyu Usman Mani and others during subh (early morning) prayer at the University of Maiduguri Staff quarters mosque on Monday January 16, 2017.

“I am addressing this letter to you and calling you “dead” because your filthy, satanic, useless and lost soul is just wandering on earth waiting to get to hell where you have earned yourself permanent residency in the deepest and most painful part of it.

“Contrary to your claim in most of your video or audio messages, the innocent people you kill are better than you in the sight of both human beings and Allah and you are the one surely going to hell.

“Your soul will never smell heaven.

“The tears I shed on the death of my brother were for my personal loss. For the deceased however, I am extremely happy because he died in a mosque, praying (in ruku’u), fasting on a Monday and was killed by your bomb.

“Given a choice, I would not mind the same type of death.

“His death was very painful but I want to assure you that you cannot stop us from going to the mosque to pray, neither can you stop us from seeking for and obtaining knowledge and education (both Islamic and western).[/b]

“We have no doubt lost a brother, father, grandfather, Professor, gentleman, pillar of support, guardian and a good man but we have gained a martyr.

“We are very proud of what Professor Aliyu Usman Mani achieved in life and in death, we are certain he died in one of the best possible ways to exit this world and that his hereafter is even better.

“In death, Professor Aliyu’s status was elevated, his popularity soared, his name heard beyond the academia, beyond the shores of Nigeria, his burial was attended by hundreds of people including my humble self and others from all walks of life prayed for him in private and in congregations at places of worship.

“You cannot change or take away the good things people said and are still saying about him neither can you change the bad things they said and are still saying about you.[b]

“Even your parents, children and relations if you have any, cannot be proud of what you are doing not to talk of the country and Islam as a religion.

“You can only deceive the gullible, uneducated in both Islamic and western education and innocent boys a[/b]nd girls who did not know what they were doing into carrying out your devilish plans.

“If you are convinced that what you are doing is Islam and Almighty Allah is truly with you, [b]then show your face, operate from a known and traceable address, use only male adults and do not brainwash small boys and girls into carrying out attacks on your behalf while you hide like a rat in a hole and claim heroism afterwards.

“I say you are already dead because “alive”, you the killer of Professor Aliyu Usman Mani, cannot show your face physically, cannot move around freely, cannot sleep peacefully, cannot command respect willfully.

” You cannot do anything normally, you cannot enjoy life fully, you can only live in the bush with your cousins the wild animals tamely, and will surely die miserably without the privilege of a proper burial,” said Usman in the letter.

The customs administration has declared two officers wanted in connection to the recently seized arms and ammunition, the said officers are wanted in connection with clearance of the said consignment through the port, the comptroller of Apapa port is said to be also in detaintion with all the officers involved in the clearing of the said consignment pending the outcome of the investigation

Well I received this mail this morning, and I though I should share with all,
It's a letter well written and cunningly crafted to deceive those that are looking for job, the letter starts by introducing the reader that there is an open vacancies in the Nigeria customs service in various categories he went ahead and count all categories, and ends with asking all interested candidate to forward there applications to an email he provided.

Reason for calling it a scam.
* as we all know, NCS is a government organisation as such it is expected if there is any vacancies in the service they will first advertise it on their website (customs.gov.ng) and some national dailies. Pix 2
*graduates are normally recruited under superintendent Cadre starting from Console 8 (not console 7, this console is for HND holders)
*the email provided on the said letter is a Russian badly created website (. ru instead of .gov.ng) pix 2
*last but not the least any letter from the service must be sign by the DCG HRD pix3


NB:
Very soon the service will start recruitment because of the vacancies created by the '' anticipated promotion" that will come out any moment from this week. And the service will surely advertise and let the public know, dont fall for any scammer please.

A LEADING figure of the Catholic faith has predicted everyone will be Muslim in ten years because the “weak” church no longer appeals to the public.

Italian Archbishop, Monsignor Carlo Liberati, said a growing number of Muslim migrants in Europe and an increase in secularism could lead to the Islamic faith becoming the continents’s most prominent religion.

According to the Daily Express he said: “In 10 years we will all be Muslims because of our stupidity.

“Italy and Europe live in a pagan and atheist way, they make laws that go against God and they have traditions that are proper of paganism.

“All of this moral and religious decadence favours Islam.”

He then added that the Christian faith was “weak” and the church today “does not work well”.

Liberati also said the church was in “full decline”.

The pound is officially the world’s worst performing currency
Harry Readhead for Metro.co.uk
Saturday 9 Jul 2016 10:19 am

The sterling fell below $1.30 (Picture: Getty Images)
The pound sterling has become the world’s worst-performing currency against the dollar among the major currencies.

In the wake of the Brexit vote, the pound fellow below $1.30 for the first time since 1985. It rebounded, slightly, to $1.29 by the end of the second week.

That means that the pound has overtaken the Argentine peso to become the worst-performing currency against the dollar among the 312 major currencies for 2016.


Goldman Sachs says the pound could drop further (Picture: Getty Images)
Goldman Sachs has said the pound could go as low as $1.20 in the next three months. Analysts said the most recent slide on Tuesday was caused by warnings from the Bank of England.

Governor Mark Carney said markets were performing ‘pretty well’ since June 23.

‘The adjustment in sterling has been significant and was sharp initially,’ he said.

‘That adjustment has moved in the direction that is necessary to facilitate some of the economic adjustments that are needed in the economy.’

Mongolia’s tugrik, the world’s worst-performing currency in August, is in its longest losing streak on record as the nation’s government seeks ways to stabilize an economy it says is in the grip of a crisis.
The currency weakened a 22nd day to 2,243.50 per dollar as of 5:05 p.m. in the capital Ulaanbaatar, the lowest level in Bloomberg data going back to 1993. The tugrik’s 7.8 percent drop this month is the biggest among 154 currencies tracked by Bloomberg, taking its decline in 2016 to more than 11 percent.

Mongolia has suffered from falling commodities prices, an economic slowdown in China and waning interest by foreigners spooked by anti-investment laws and inconsistent policy. Prime Minister Erdenebat Jargaltulga has rolled out an economic recovery plan that includes salary cuts, debt reduction and development of a council to attract foreign investment, according to a televised statement issued Tuesday. He became prime minister after the Mongolian People’s Party unseated the Democratic Party in a landslide win in June elections.

“We are in a deep state of economic crisis,’’ Finance Minister Choijilsuren Battogtokh said in a nationally televised address last week. “We came into a situation where we may not be able to afford to finance salaries and operational costs of government departments, such as the Mongolian military who protect our borders and national security, the social and health employees who are in charge public health, as well as individuals in culture and sport.’’
Mongolia had foreign currency reserves of $1.3 billion at the end of June, according to data published by the central bank. That cash pile declined 23.1 percent from a year earlier after the previous government increased spending ahead of the elections.
A team of International Monetary Fund representatives arrived in Mongolia Tuesday and will begin talks with the government on resolving economic challenges, according to local television.
Neil Saker, the IMF’s resident representative in Mongolia, declined to give details of the meetings, saying it’s the “IMF’s routine global practice to establish early contact with newly elected governments.”

Ahmad Salkida, the Nigerian journalist declared wanted by the Nigerian Army over Boko Haram’s latest video, on Monday said he had commenced preparations to return to country to honour the invitation.
In a statement he released on Monday, Mr. Salkida said the Army knew he was not in the country prior to being declared wanted, adding that his journey home would be quickened if the government could fund his trip.
“The Army is aware that I am not in Nigeria presently. In the coming days I will seek to get a flight to Abuja and avail myself to the Army authorities. Indeed, my return will be hastened if the military sends me a ticket,” Mr. Salkida said.
Mr. Salkida was declared wanted alongside two others on Sunday for their alleged ties to Boko Haram sect.
Mr. Salkida, Ahmed Bolori and Aisha Wakil allegedly committed offences that contravened the Terrorism (Prevention) Act of 2011, by not providing information about the group, the Army said in a statement by its spokesman, Sani Usman.
Mr. Usman said the three individuals were also wanted for their alleged roles in the release of Boko Haram’s recent videos.
The latest video released on Saturday showed Chibok schoolgirls abducted by the sect since 2014. The group said they would only release the girls if the government released its fighters.
In his reaction on Monday, Mr. Salkida said the Army was declaring him wanted for simply carrying out his professional duties as a journalist, adding that he did most of his work with “total allegiance and sacrifice to the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.


“Clearly, my status as a Nigerian journalist who has reported extensively, painstakingly and consistently on the Boko Haram menace in the country since 2006 is an open book known to Nigerians and the international community,” Mr. Salkida said.
Mr. Salkida, who has written extensively about the Boko Haram sect, said he had visited Nigerian three times within the past year on the invitation of the Nigerian government, in an effort to rescue the abducted girls.
“As a testimony to the credible and professional values of my access, since May 2015, l have been to Nigeria three times on the invitation of Federal Government agencies. I made personal sacrifices for the release of our Chibok daughters,” Mr. Salkida said.
One of the three persons declared wanted by the army, Mr. Bolori, said he made himself available to the military authorities but was told to wait until later before they take him in for interrogations.

Ahmed salkida is the prime target not this young chap and the wife of a former chief judge, our army needs to understand we are in a democratic setting, they can't just wake up and expect a civilian " to obey before complaint", it's not done that way, you can't declare a person wanted without stating his crime, why the rush?
We have DSS, POLICE and other relevant agencies that will tackle all this,
Which INFO did you need part from the videos?
Gra-gra will never lead to anything meaningful

Today is this guys,
Tomorrow may be you,
Yesterday many innocent souls were mowed down on the street of borno
