The National Security Adviser, NSA Babagana Monguno, has revealed that funds given to former service chiefs for arms purchase not be traced.

On January 26, President Muhammadu Buhari removed the service chiefs in persons of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.

The president had immediately appointed their replacements in persons of Major-General Leo Irabor, Chief of Defence Staff; Major-General I. Attahiru, Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral A. Z. Gambo, Chief of Naval Staff; and Air-Vice Marshal I.O Amao, Chief of Air Staff.

But in an interview with the BBC Hausa on Friday morning, the NSA said neither the money approved by Mr Buhari for arm purchase nor arms was met on ground when the new service chiefs assumed office.

Asked why the government is foot-dragging on fight against banditry, Mr Monguno said the president had done his best by approving huge amount of money for arm purchase but the equipment was not forthcoming.

“Now that he (President Buhari) has brought new people (service chiefs), hopely they will device some ways… I’m not saying the former service chiefs diverted the money, but the money is missing. We don’t know how, and nobody knows for now,” he said.

Asked whether the matter is investigated to trace the funds or the military hardwares, the NSA said the president would investigate the matter.

“The President will surely probe this matter. As we speak, the Nigerian Governors’ Forum too is also wondering where all the money went. I can assure you the president takes issues of this nature seriously.

“The fact is that preliminary investigation showed the funds are missing and the equipment is nowhere to be found.

“When the new service chiefs assumed office, they also said they did see anything on ground,” said the NSA.

Governor Nasiru El-Rufai of Kaduna State has said that the state government would not condone Almajiri schools in the state, urging them to relocate to other states.

Mr El-Rufai gave the urge during the inauguration of the Kaduna State Child Protection and Welfare Committee on Tuesday in Kaduna.

He said: “We are working on the Almajiri system and many people do not agree with what we are doing, but we are very confident and sure of the rightness of our actions.

”So, my message to all those that have Almajiris in Kaduna state, you have a choice to relocate otherwise sooner or later we will get you.”

According to him, the government developed and approved the social protection policy so as to have clear legislation that would be targeted directly to support only the most vulnerable and poorest in the state.

“We want the poorest people to benefit. Politicians often get involved with their ‘slot mentality’, and when we give them those slots they don’t give them to the poorest.

“So we must find a way to identify who is poor and who is vulnerable and target these kinds of assistance to this kind of households,” he said.

The governor said that the state social investment office has been working across the 24 local government areas to have a comprehensive social register of the poorest and most vulnerable in the society.

He disclosed that the social register has so far more than one million households, and assured that every government intervention would be channeled to those on the social register.

He also thanked all those contributing to the protection and welfare of children in Kaduna state.

Earlier, Hafsat Baba, Commissioner, Human Services and Social Development, explained that the committee has legal backing and would be set up at the state and local government levels.

Mrs Baba said the 20 members of the committee inaugurated were from various sectors and agencies, identified and trained by Unicef.

The commissioner disclosed that her Ministry has data of over 10,817 Almajiris, who will be enrolled into formal schools.

“Planning has reached advance stage between the ministry and Ministry of Education and SUBEB to enroll the ten thousand eight hundred and seventeen Almajiri children in schools.”

She also said that the government had constructed a women’s centre in Kaduna, which will be a centre of excellence for child protection and victims of gender-based violence.

She said that a philanthropist, Musa Bello of Aman Foundation, has pledged to support the government with N300 million for the improvement of the 10 model Tsangaya schools in the state.

Mrs Baba said the state government would also provide a similar amount to ensure “child protection and best example of a seamless integration of Quranic education, literacy and numeracy and skills development.”

The Director-General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council, NADDC, Jelani Aliyu, has commissioned the first female mechanic workshop in Sokoto State.

DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the workshop is a private initiative of NANA Girls and Women Empowerment Initiative, aimed at breaking the gender stereotype in car repairs and maintenance.

Speaking at the occasion, Mr Aliyu congratulated the newly trained female mechanics, urging them to work hard in order to achieve greater heights.

He said: “I am proud that this is happening right here. This is really big, it is the type of news that needs to be read in international magazines and be seen on places like CNN,

“When we do this we are not just empowering women or girls, we are empowering the very fabric of society and humanity

“I’m very delighted that this is happening and to see this being spearheaded here is truly amazing,” he added.

In his presentation Mr Aliyu commended the virtues of NANA’s establishment of the female mechanic workshop, describing it as an “impressive development”.

According to him, the initiative will not only create job opportunities but also provide income to women in the field of mechanical engineering.

The director-general, therefore, promised collaboration with NANA as an agency in the area of technical support that will add value to the innovation.

Maybe the cause can traced to the responsibilities and stress that comes with marriage and having children.
Most people might be so stressed without knowing that they're stressed, and they live with it constantly, it becomes their norm. (Those kind of issues are hardly ever addressed in this part of the world)
They become easily irritated, irrationally hostile and most likely violent toward others.

The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested two men suspected of sending pornographic materials to a married woman.

A statement issued by the board’s spokesman, Lawan Ibrahim, on Monday in Kano, said the suspects were traced and arrested after the woman lodged a complaint with the board.

The statement said that the married woman had informed the board’s officials that she did not know those sending the messages to her phone.

It said that the Commander-General of the board, Harun Ibn-Sina, ordered full investigation into the matter.

“The board collected the phone numbers from her which led to the arrest of the two men at Unguwa Uku in Tarauni Local Government Area. The young men are between the age of 20 and 21.

“We have summoned their parents to speak with them and for them to pay keen attention on their wards’ way of life to avoid such behaviour in future,” the statement added.

The board advised parents to avoid buying expensive phones for their children and always monitor their movements to shield them from mingling with bad friends.

Anywhere on this planet you see black people where 70% are dark and 30-40% are brown to light skin naturally, they have Igbo blood. Also where their men are muscular, broad shoulders, big chest, strong and hairy, all evidence of high testosterone and very good in sports, they have Igbo blood. Igbos belong to a speciifc type of black people called Black Hebrews or Israelite, very different from Hamite/African blacks who are Yorubas and Hausa.

You will find these Igbo blood largely in African Americans, Caribbeans and Liberians. These people look just like Igbos, and nothing like Yorubas, Hausa-Fulani, e.t.c. Also you will find Igbo blood in Igodomigodo Edo state ( the Afamai, Esan, Fugar, Ogbona), who are different and looking nothing like Benin people with Yoruba blood. The Igodomigodo like Igbos come in 70% dark skin and 30% brown to light skin. The Benin Edo people come in 99.99999999% very dark skin like Yorubas or Sudanese.
