Boko Haram terrorists Nigeria Needs Commandos and Mercenaries to Tackle the Storm Troopers of Boko Haram The latest intelligence reports across the borders have confirmed that the dreaded Boko Haram Islamic terrorist sect on rampage in the middle belt and northern region of Nigeria is linked to the Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). The AQIM provided them training in guerrilla warfare and Islamic psychological warfare which the Boko Haram put to good use in their insurgency in Nigeria. Therefore, the Nigerian government must face the Boko Haram with drastic counter insurgency operations on all fronts as the United States of America is doing in counter terrorism operations in the Middle East where Academi and other private forces were engaged in the military commando operations to tackle the Al Qaeda, Taliban and other Islamic terrorist forces. The confirmation of the Al Qaeda link means that the mission of the Boko Haram is well organized and programmed to last for as long they...

Nigerian legislators often forget that they are no longer school pupils in a secondary school . I have just been following the so called emergency session of the House of Representatives on Sunday January 8, 2012, to address the unpopular removal of the fuel subsidy on petrol and the state of emergency over terrorist attacks in the middle belt and northern states. But I see that majority of them are not really bothered as they are busy antagonizing themselves without any definite resolution. Many of them are misbehaving like pupils in a classroom and laughing when the country is threatening to implode? They said Nigeria is broke, but they are not even bothered about reviewing their own salaries and allowances and the lopsided revenue allocation formula. Since Nigeria is broke, the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) should fix the total monthly salary of a senator at N1.06m and that of a House of Representatives member at N794, 000. And anyone who is not ready...

Many of them are misbehaving like pupils in a classroom and laughing when the country is threatening to implode? They said Nigeria is broke, but they are not even bothered about reviewing their jumbo salaries and the lopsided revenue allocation formula. Since Nigeria is broke, the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) should fix the total annual emoluments comprising the basic salary of N12, 026, 400 for a senator and N10,985, 212.50 for a representative. The following allowances should be suspended until further notice,with the exception of the allowances for annual leave. Accommodation allowan...

A shining cross in a dark place. Photo Credit: Live the Cross . All Wise Christians In The North Should Fellowship And Worship In Their Homes « on: Today at 10:56:23 AM » All wise Christians in the middle belt and northern regions should fellowship and worship in their homes from henceforth until the government can prove that your lives and properties would be safe. Even at home, please BE VIGILANT AND READY TO DEFEND YOUR FAMILIES, HOMES AND BUSINESSES. THE ENEMIES DO NOT SLEEP, SO STOP SLEEPING. ONLY FOOLS SLEEP WHEN THEIR HOME IS ON FIRE. You all must learn from our Lord Jesus Christ as He advised us in the following words: 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. ~MATTHEW 10-14-15 The problem with majority of my so called Christian brethren is lack of wisdom and disobedience of the advice of J...

9 Sep 2011 10:03 Africa/Lagos OHCHR press briefing note / Nigeria GENEVA, September 9, 2011/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- OHCHR press briefing note / Nigeria We are concerned about the renewed violence which has flared up in Nigeria's "Middle Belt" in recent weeks causing death, injury and destruction. Reports suggest that up to 70 people have been killed since the beginning of August, in ethnic and religious violence in the area. Ethnic and religious divisions have affected the Middle Belt region, particularly in and around Jos, for many years now and a cycle of violence has emerged in which each incident almost invariably provokes deadly reprisal attacks. The High Commissioner has previously called for a concerted effort to tackle the underlying causes of such repeated violent outbreaks. Such underlying causes include discrimination, poverty and land disputes. We encourage the authorities at national and local levels to take effective preventative measures agains...
