The war against Boko Haram is largely won- Lai Mhammed

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 01:24 PM PST

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said that the Nigerian military had met the December deadline to defeat the Boko Haram terrorists. The minister said this on Wednesday, December 23, during his maiden meeting with editorial heads of media houses in Lagos.
"Today, I can report that the war against Boko Haram is largely won. I can confidently say this because just recently, I led a group of 33 journalists from both the local and international media to the hot bed of the insurgency, that is, Maiduguri, Kondugua, Kaoure and Bama,"
"Today, I can report to you that the entire 70 plus kilometres stretch from Maiduguri to Bama and all the way to Banki which leads to Cameroun and the Central African Republic are in the hands of our gallant troops."
Mohammed said the military presence could be felt "every few metres along the road; at a point along that road we were just a kilometre to Sambisa forest.
"They have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory just as they can no longer carry out any spectacular attack."
He, however, said that though there were still cases of suicide bombings, it was pertinent to note that such was the nature if insurgency globally.
"Unlike a war between two armies, an insurgency never ends with arms victory. Even in countries like Colombia where insurgency was supposed to have ended decades ago, attacks like this still happen."
He said that the insurgents had adopted a new style of attacking soft targets like motor parks, schools, entertainment centres, religious centres, killing innocent people mostly women and children.

Mohammed, therefore, urged Nigerians to support the military in the fight against terrorism in the country, saying that the military had availed itself creditably.
"It is our turn as civilians to give them our support; to realise that the war they are fighting is not their war alone, but our war, hence we must own the war."
Mohammed disclosed that a national security campaign had commenced to raise awareness among Nigerians about the war, the sacrifices of our troops, and how to stamp out the remnant of the war.
"Jingles are being played on national radio and television as part of the campaign in order to keep the media better informed about the war, so that they can also better inform Nigerians,"
The minister also said that an ad-hoc committee, comprising media representatives as well as intelligence agencies, would be inaugurated to regularly be updated about the war in order to better inform the public.

A sneak peak of the Kardashian Kids Christmas card

The Kardashian/Jenner clan are yet to release their usually over-the-top Christmas card. While the world awaits, here is a sneak peak of the card with their adorable kids.

'My husband went back to Nigeria last Christmas to wed a secret new wife' - British woman reveals (photos)

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 12:02 PM PST

Found this very interesting and intriguing story on The Sun UK. Biko, follow me read below...:-)
When her hubby of ten years had to spend Christmas with his relatives in Nigeria, Tracy Akingbogun hoped he'd return with a special gift to make up for their time apart. David, 43, had sorted out a present — for himself. He had secretly married another woman in Nigeria on Boxing Day.
Mum-of-four Tracy only discovered the shocking news through a friend months later — and kicked him out. Heartbroken Tracy, also 43, says: "While I was at home with the kids missing him at Christmas, his present to himself was a new bride. "I still can't believe he did that to us after more than ten years together. "I did some research and saw that the ceremony was a religious one and not a legal one. So he hadn't committed bigamy. "His dad had five wives during his lifetime, so I suppose David thought he could do that too. "But not when he was living in the UK and not when he was married to me."
Tracy, from Gravesend, Kent, adds: "This Christmas it will be just me and the children again, just like it was last year. But this time I'll be over the moon that David isn't with us."
Tracy was a single mum to Cameron and Alysia — now 17 and 13 — when she met David in a nightclub while she was on a rare night out in March 2004.

She recalls: "I was watching a group of lads on the pull, but one of them wasn't. He was just leaning against the bar enjoying himself. He saw me watching him and came over to chat.
"His name was David and he was really kind and gentle. He'd only arrived from Nigeria three months before."
David moved into Tracy's home just six weeks later and Tracy was delighted to discover she was pregnant.

Their son Kayodo, now 11, was born in December 2004 and they married two months later.

Tracy says: "It was a small ceremony with a few family and friends. David read out a poem and told me he really believed in me and our future together.
"From then on he called me 'Wifey,' his pet name for me."
The next year the happy family went to Nigeria to meet David's relatives.
Tracy says: "They were lovely to us and even went through the traditional ceremony of washing our feet when we arrived."
Their second son Olalekan, now four, was born in December 2011.

Tracy busied herself bringing up her brood while David turned his hand to various businesses from buying and selling cars to running a market-stall. He also tried to set up an internet cafe.
But two years later she found messages between David and a Nigerian woman.
Tracy says: "One read: 'When you were last here I wish I'd kissed you.' I shouted at him, and wanted him to explain himself.
"He said she was someone he used to date before he came to the UK. He said it was nothing, they were just friends.
"I told David it was her or me. He said it was me, I was his wifey and that was that.
"Over the next few months he tried hard to show he meant it and we got back to normal."
Then David announced he would have to go to Nigeria over the 2014 festive period. Tracy says: "I was furious. I told him he should be here for his sons — for our family. He kept insisting he had important family business."
David flew out the day before Christmas Eve and Tracy was upset the family would be apart.
She says: "I was so angry with him, but I wasn't going to let the children know that.
"It was Christmas so I was going to make it a good one."
She messaged David, reminding him to call their boys on Christmas morning.


Tracy says: "David finally called at 9pm. I gave him an earful but let him speak to the children. I was so angry with him.
"On Boxing Day I didn't hear from him, but I spoke to him and his family the next day and they were all friendly and normal."

But, on David's return, Tracy felt something had changed.
She says: "When he wasn't away working he was on his laptop. He was hardly speaking to me or the boys. I would encourage him to spend time with them, but he'd snap at me and say he was busy."
Tracy tried to make her family life as happy as possible but in May came a bolt out of the blue.
She got a message on Facebook from the partner of one of David's friends in Nigeria, a woman Tracy had met when she visited.

She says: "The message read that he'd got married to another woman on Boxing Day — everyone knew apart from me. She didn't think that was right.
"The world I loved had been whipped from beneath my feet. Tears streamed down my face. I'd known something was up.
"I confronted David but he denied it. He seemed so cool and calm. So I messaged her and said there must be a mistake."

What came next wiped away any trace of doubt Tracy had.
Tearfully, she recalls: "She ended up sending me photos of the wedding ceremony via WhatsApp and confirmed it to me. There was no denying that."
Shaking, Tracy managed to guess his Facebook password and logged in. There, she read messages between him and his new wife, the woman she'd caught him messaging two years before, who was also his ex-girlfriend.
Tracy says: "I was so angry I couldn't speak. He couldn't get married — he was my husband!
"I confronted him and he tried to deny it again but this time I told him I'd seen the photos and read the messages. I told him to pack his bags and get out.
"I don't take calls from his family, as they were in on this and went to his wedding last Boxing Day while lying to me.
"He abandoned his children and me to get married to another woman. He's made his choice and now he's stuck with it."
David said: "I can do what I want. It's nobody's business. What do you want me to do?"

Star Wars actor, John Boyega was one of the last people to see Damilola Taylor alive, says Richard Taylor

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 07:20 AM PST

Star Wars: The Force Awakens star, John Boyega was close friends with Damilola Taylor and according to Taylor's father, Boyega was one of the last people to see his son alive. Damilola was killed just a few days to his 11th birthday by two brothers, Danny and Ricky Preddie, aged 12 and 13 at the time, in south London.

Richard Taylor disclosed this in an interview with the mirror, adding that the 23-year-old actor and his sister Grace were both close to young Damilola.
 
Damilola (pictured left) with John and Grace, 13 at the time (blurred, on the right) in CCTV footage taken shortly before he died

 "John and Grace were looking after Damilola when he arrived in the UK, because they went to school together. The three of them were captured in the CCTV recording that the police used when they asked people to come forward to assist with the investigation.
 
"Grace became so close to Damilola – it was almost like boyfriend and girlfriend."

He added: "They were the last to see him. They wanted to escort him home, but he said he was going to be OK. They left him by the junction then he went around the corner and the gang were waiting for him."

Mr Taylor recently found out that John Boyega had nominated the Damilola Taylor Trust to receive a donation from the film's launch.

"I was overwhelmed. It filled me with joy."

He said Boyega's success makes him wonder about how his own son's future could have unfolded.

"I thought: 'Oh wow, Damilola could have been working with him as an actor. Damilola was acting in primary school – in Christmas plays, school plays, reciting poems and all that kind of thing."

Damilola had moved to Britain from Nigeria a few months before he was stabbed in the thigh with a broken beer bottle by a gang of youths as he walked home from the local library after school.

The youngster was found bleeding to death in a stairwell near his home in Peckham, south London, where local workmen tried to save his life.
 
The Preddie brothers were convicted of Damilola's murder six years after it happened.

Judge excuses self from Nnamdi Kanu's Treason case

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 07:24 AM PST

Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court Abuja has excused himself from hearing the treason charges filed against Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra by the Federal Government. Justice Mohammed's decision comes after Nnamdi Kanu this morning objected to the judge hearing the six count charge filed against him by the Federal government.

Kanu during court hearing argued that the hearing will be an exercise in futility as officials of the Department of State Security will not obey any order in his favor.
"Thank you very much my lordship, but my objection is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court. The information I got is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court. I will not sacrifice the due process of law because of speedy court process over the principle of natural process on the altar of speedy release. In other words, I would rather remain in detention than subject myself to a trial that I know amounts to perversion of justice. Your lordship, previous court rulings have been given by courts of competent jurisdiction in this country, Nigeria which were not carried out by the DSS"he said
Counsel to the Federal government who is also the Federal Director of Prosecution, office of the Attorney General, Mohamed Diri, argued that based on section 396 (2) of the constitution, Kanu had no right to object to being tried by the court until after the plea is heard. However Diri's submission was overruled by the judge because according to him, Kanu had the right to reject the trial, "after all justice is rooted on confidence".

"If any of the parties has no confidence in the court, he has the right to say so", the judge said. He added that the prosecution would have done the same thing if they were in Kanu's shoes. "Assuming it was the prosecution, if they had no confidence in the court of jurisdiction; would they not have done so? I hereby remit the case file to the honorable chief judge of this court to reassign it" the judge said.

Kanu is being tried on a six count charge which treason.

Woman rejects boyfriend's proposal because the diamond on the ring was too small (photos)

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 06:45 AM PST

The Diamond on the ring was too small. That's the apparent reason that could be deduced after a Chinese woman turned down her boyfriend's marriage proposal. The poor guy was down on one knee, proposed with a bunch of red roses, surrounded by dancers he'd hired specially for the event and was being watched by dozens of onlookers when his girlfriend turned and walked off.



At first, she seemed to be thrilled by the performance on a street in Chengdu, the capital city of south-west China's Sichuan province, and at one point started to cry as her boyfriend walked towards her. But surprised everyone by walking away after seeing the ring her boyfriend was proposing with.

 In a screen shot of a message sent to her friend after the attempted proposal, she complained. "Before we agreed on a one carat diamond ring. Why is it so small? Is he so careless or he just doesn't care?"

It's not clear when the incident took place but the photographs have been circulating online in China. Many people on Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter, said that she didn't deserve the proposal.

Over 300 killed during Army/Shiite clash- Human Rights Group claims

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 06:37 AM PST

An International Human Rights group, the Human Rights Watch, says over 300 Shiite members were killed during the Army/Shiite clash in Zaria Kaduna state on December 12th and 13th. A statement by the group which was released today claims that accounts by the Shiite members witnessed the killins say the Army hurriedly dug a mass grave for their members who were killed during the clash
"The army carried out attacks at the Hussainniya Baqiyyatullah mosque and religious center, at the home of the Shiite leader, Sheikh Ibrahim Al Zakzaky, in the Gyellesu neighborhood and at the sect's burial ground, Daral-Rahma, over the course of two days.
At least 300 Shia sect members, and likely many more, were killed and hundreds more injured, according to witnesses in at least two of the sites and a hospital source. Soldiers quickly buried the bodies in mass graves without family members' permission, making it difficult to determine an accurate death toll. Although some people threw stones and had sticks, there has been no credible information that any soldiers were injured or killed"the statement in part read.
