Travel › Photos: The World’s Largest Hotel Expected To House Affluent Muslims Next Hajj by Thisis2raw(op): 6:16pm On Sep 19, 2016
If you are afraid of heights, or large spaces make you anxious and woozy, then the sheer height and size of this gargantuan building will make you lose your marbles.
You all know that when it comes to mega structures, the Arabs are killing the game with world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa and 3rd tallest hotel in the world Burj al-Arab.

Now they are making news again with a new hotel in Mecca which is probably one of their loftiest dreams yet.

Abraj Kudai
Easily outshining the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, the new hotel, Abraj Kudai is expected to be the biggest hotel in the world by 2017.Located in Islam’s holiest city, Mecca, Abraj Kudai is expected to house the high-browed and affluent Muslims during next year’s Hajj (annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca).
Located strategically 2 kilometers from the Masjid al-Haram, the holy mosque of Mecca, the Disney-like hotel boasts of 12 different towers, up to 10, 000 rooms, 70 restaurants, several helipads and a full-size convention centre.

The 700 billion Naira or 3.5 Billion dollar mega-hotel was funded by Saudi Ministry of Finance, designed by the architectural firm Dar Al-Handasah and will occupy 1.4 million square meters of the Saudi Arabian landscape.

Politics › FG Releases Proof Of Efforts To Secure Release Of Chibok Girls by Thisis2raw(op): 5:54pm On Sep 19, 2016
The Federal Government has released proof of its efforts to secure the release of the Chibok girls, who were abducted from their school in April 2014 by Boko Haram, confirming President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to the safe return of the girls.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Friday, September 16th, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the efforts included swap arrangements dating back to July 2015 which, however, failed for various reasons, including last-minute issuance of a new set of demands by Boko Haram elements.

He said that in spite of the failure of the past swap agreements, the government and the security agencies have not relented in the bid to ensure that the Chibok girls are released safely, in line with the mandate given by the President who, upon the assumption of office, directed security agencies to urgently fashion out strategies to trace, locate and ensure the safe and successful release of the Chibok
girls.

Giving details of the first swap agreement, which was the most promising, Alhaji Mohammed said it failed in the last minute because Boko Haram decided to make a new set of demands, even after all arrangements had been made to exchange some Boko Haram fighters for the girls.
"Precisely on 17th July, 2015, the DSS opened negotiations process with the group holding the Chibok girls. However, in return for the release of some of these girls, the group also made some demands. These included the release of some of their fighters arrested including some involved in major terrorist actions, resulting in several fatalities, and others who were experts in manufacture of locally assembled explosives. This was difficult to accept, but appropriate security agencies had to again inform Mr. President o these demands, and its viewed implications. Again Mr. President gave his assent believing that the overall release of these girls remains paramount and sacrosanct.

Meanwhile, following the above development, Government and the security agencies had sufficient leverage to work out the modalities of the swap. These included creating the safe haven, or necessary place of swap and working out the logistic details. Based on this, the DSS availed other critical sister agencies of this new situation. Immediately, the Nigerian Army and the Air Force sent some specialists to commence a detailed arrangement for the swap. This was during the last week of July 2015 and 1st week of August 2015. The officers representing the various agencies worked out the logistic details, such as the number of persons to be swapped i.e. number of girls and detainees to be exchanged, the vehicles and aircraft, as well as safeguards, i.e. safety of the persons, including the location of the
swap.
"When it was finally agreed by all parties, Mr. President was again informed that the preparations were concluded, and the first step for the swap would commence on 1st August, 2015. Mr. President robustly gave his approval. On 4th August, 2015, the persons who were to be part of the swap arrangements and all others involved in the operation were transported to Maiduguri, Borno State. This team, with the lead facilitator, continued the contact with the group holding the Chibok girls. The Service was able to further prove to the group its sincerity, as it established communication contact between it and its detained members.
"All things were in place for the swap which was mutually agreed. Expectations were high. Unfortunately, after more than two (2) weeks of negotiation and bargains, the group, just at the dying moments, issued new set of demands, never bargained for or discussed by the group before the movement to Maiduguri. All this while, the security agencies waited patiently. This development stalled what would have been the first release process of the Chibok girls," he said.
The Minister also gave the details of two more swap attempts that were made following the failure of the first agreement.
"By the month of November, precisely 13th November, 2015, another fresh negotiation process with the group was initiated. This time, there was the need to discuss a fresh component in other to avoid issues that had stalled the former arrangement. There were however some problems that many may not discern, but should be expected in this kind of situation. Some critical persons within the group who played such vital role in August, 2015 were discovered to be dead during combat action or as a result of the emerging rift amongst members of the group then. These two factors delayed the process. By 30th November, 2015 it was becoming glaring that the division amongst the group was more profound. This affected the swap process. By 10th December, 2015, another negotiation process was in place, but this failed to achieve results because of the varying demands by the group," he said, assuring that in spite of the failures, negotiation continued on new modalities to secure the release of the girls.

The Minister said since the beginning of 2016, the security agencies have not only remained committed but have also taken the lead to resolve the Chibok girls’ issue, in spite of the current division among members of the terrorist group, which has seriously affected the efforts

He commended the security agencies whom, he said, have sacrificed their time and energy, with some even paying the supreme price while fighting for the safe release of the girls, disclosing that many friendly countries and organizations have equally been very forthcoming in providing their human and technological resources to assist in the process. Addressing the parents and relatives of the Chibok girls, Alhaji Mohammed said:
"We are with you; we feel your pains and shall not relent until we succeed in bringing home our girls and every other citizen abducted by the group."
He also appealed to all those who have shown concern in resolving this matter” to continue to trust the efforts of Government to deal with the situation.
