Nigeria's Unity Is Settled And Not Negotiable - Broadcast By President Muhammadu Buhari

The Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari spoke the mind of Nigerians who cherished the unity, peace and collective progress. He spoke as a Nationalist.

President Buhari sent a clear message to terrorists, ethnic irredentists, secessionists and champions of sectionalism that this union is an indissoluble matrimony in all circumstances. The President speech was a Lion's roar meant to reaffirm and reinforce the unity of a nation showing signs of disintegration during his absence.The President speech was a Lion's roar reestablishing full control of a staggering Clime heading to an engineered implosion during his absence.

OPEN LETTER TO THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, ON POLICE HOSTILITY, EXTORTION AND BRUTALITY

Again, I have decided to express my concerns about the increasing rate of mindless hostility, shameful extortion and dreaded brutality by men of the Nigerian police. Lest I forget, let me give accolades to a very few among your men who have distinguished themselves in their services to our fatherland but unfortunately, their diligence on their job go unnoticed and un-celebrated by the day. This is due to the huge criticism and damaging remarks from the victims of these cruelties.

Today, not only has 'OPEN' collection of bribe at check points – major bus stops, payment for bail and unlawful detention at police stations come to stay and unreported but it has become a thing of pride for the bad eggs among your men. They even go as far as ‘raiding’ innocent people returning from work and sometimes dispose them of their hard earned money and other valuables. Extortion by Policemen is aged and the victims are too many, but it can be stopped. Your men have brought so much disrepute to the Nigerian Police, so the bad eggs among them must be brought to book before it is too late.

PRESS STATEMENT: DISCLAIMER ON SOLIDARITY RALLIES - Army

The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a number of groups and individuals celebrating the routing out and decimation of Boko Haram terrorists on our soil. So much as we thank them for that, it is imperative to state that we do not begrudge such persons their desire to identify and associate themselves with this success.

However, the Nigerian Army wishes to disassociate itself from such celebrations and solidarity rallies.

We also would like to advice that they should tread with caution as this could be distractive to us. The public are please informed that the terrorists are surreptitiously fanning out of their last enclaves in Sambisa to cause havoc or seek refuge elsewhere.

Therefore, there is need for all to be more vigilant and security conscious to enable us clear the remnants of these terrorists wherever they might flee.

IF SARAKI REFUSE TO RESIGN HE WILL BE DISGRACED OUT OF THE OFFICE. - MKebir Yakubu.

The desecration of the Legislature by criminals should be stopped forthwith. The populace should rise up against all odds to protect our sacred institutions - more especially the legislature that is set up to make laws for good governance. 

I think Saraki, his cohorts and collogues in crime should take a cue from the South Africa President who was tried and found guilty by the court in South Africa. Yes, criminalisation of government institutions is abhorrent and should be resisted across Africa and Nigeria in particular. 

Boko Haran: NIS to deploy patrol corps in borders

The Nigeria Immigration Service on Sunday said it was set to deploy members of its special border patrol corps in the nation’s borders as part of measures to check illegal migration and terrorism. The NIS Public Relations Officer, Emeka Obua, said this on Sunday.

Obua said, “We have graduated 1,000 special patrol border corps personnel and they will soon be deployed to the nation’s borders. The corps is part of the proposals to the Federal Government by the Comptroller-General. “Other components of the proposals include yearly recruitment of 5,000 personnel into the service for at least three years and the setting up of border patrol technology to check illegal migration and influx of terrorists and criminals into the country.”

He said the border patrol corps would be backed with modern border security technologies, including electronic sensors that could detect human movement particularly at the 1,497 illegal routes being used by terrorists and foreigners that did not want to be profiled by the immigration service.

Obua explained that the corps was not a new creation, noting that it was part of the recommendation of the Justice Nnaemeka Aniagolu Commission of Inquiry on the Maitasine riot, which unfortunately was not implemented by past governments.

Nigeria: Which Islam does Shekau profess?

By Abdulrazaq Magaji

 

The game did not begin today. Since the creation of man, criminals and swindlers have consistently invoked the name of God in perpetrating evil. It is commonplace to hear con men, impostors and outright evildoers claiming God spoke to them or they received some dubious vision to rationalise the perpetration of an evil act. The way people claim to relate to God, one would think the end of the world was here. And, if you thought God is about to strike people who break His laws or drop His name to perpetrate evil, then wait until you hear Abubakar Shekau, the tempestuous leader of Boko Haram.
