why nigeria Is Now More Powerful In The Fight Against Boko Haram – Buhari
Speaking on Friday, July 31, in Abuja, President Muhammadu Buhari explained why Nigeria now had increased capacity to fight Boko Haram insurgency.
PM News reports that the president delivered his point during the meeting with Mohammed Ibn Chambas, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative and Head of the United Nations Office for West Africa.
Nigeiria’s number one politician expressed confidence that with the formation and full activation of the Multi National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), terrorism would soon become the thing of the past.
President Buhari also noted that after the command control center had been redeployed to Maduguri, the morale of the troops on the battlefield substantially improved.
“You can tell the Secretary-General that we are doing our best and our best will be good enough for the nation and the sub-region.”
Regarding the upcoming elections in Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea and Burkina Faso, the Nigerian leader urged the UN to assist African countries in implementing new technologies to ensure the effective and credible process.
He referred to the experience of his country’s electoral body which used smart card readers in the general polls held earlier this year. Buhari noted that other African countries might need support and assistance from the international community in order to implement modern technologies for the elections conduct.
“When citizens recognize that their votes count, it will boost their confidence in democracy and their countries’ electoral systems.”
Mr Chambas, on his part, praised President Buhari, for his commitment to fighting against insurgency in the northeast and for his recent claims in Cameroon concerning peaceful resolution of all border issues with the neighbour.
Meanwhile suspected Boko Haram terrorists bombed Gamboru market in Borno state capital Maiduguri, in the early morning of Friday. Many people are feared killed in the explosion.
OBAMA LEADING BACK RACE GENOCIDE
THOUGHTS &TALKS
Like I have argued from the beginning of my position on this issue, Africa, the centre of the world, by geographical location; Africa, the cradle of man; Africa, the cradle of civilisation is also Africa; the whipping child of the world.
Its historic antecedents and lofty places and the centrality of its location have all added up to just a little in terms of current standing.
The white man made a good prey of us because we lazily watched them and consented to the injury they inflicted on us. Till today, we have not extricated ourselves of the indolence that retarded us and made us their pawn.
At a point, some Africans with great awareness and pride for their identity stood on their feet and resisted the predators and managed to pull us free from their grip. But because they never felt like letting go their slaves, they made sure they left but with the shadows and ghosts of the awesome masters still lurking in the shadows. In places like Nigeria, the white man left, leaving behind his tricks to ensure the nation would never know peace.
But apart from what they did, we have been under the spell of the worst of leadership in any part of the world. And some attribute it falsely to colour or location or vague destiny. But none of these caused us the pitiable leadership that keeps us down. It is all in our hands. We have bred the laziest and most cowardly citizens who have been crippled by the antics of the ruling class to remain helpless forever.
It is not known to history that any ruler ever changed to favour the people if the people never made moves to show they are averse to their predicament. The ruler is naturally and definitely an exploiter. He enjoys and cherishes plundering and dispossessing the subject, and not ready to change from that until such a day the victim decides to pull himself free.
Henry F. Jackson wrote in 1985 that: “But the foreign debt represents the long-term danger to the African countries’ economic viability because it blocks their return to steady economic growth and locks them into greater dependency on the outside world. Without a solution to the debt crisis, the African nations can neither gain the agricultural self-sufficiency that is needed.”
In the late 80s, the foreign debt of all the 50 member-states of the then OAU was less than those of Brazil and Mexico alone. But while the two Latin American nations deployed their debts to development, such was not the case in Africa.
It later got so bad for Africa that even Brazil, the highest debtor nation then extended loans to African nations, a sign that it managed its own borrowings well. And not done yet, Brazil two years ago announced its cancellation of debts of $900m owed it by 12 African nations. Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff announced that in Addis Ababa at the African Union summit.
In 2005, the G8 nations announced debt forgiveness for 18 countries in the world, 14 of them were African nations. These are debts owed the IMF, World Bank and even our ‘own’ African Development Bank.
With 24 non-African nations in the membership of the African Development Fund, a major and controlling organ of the AfDB, with US and Japan having highest and second highest controlling shares and voting powers, it boils down to the glaring fact that the AfDB is just African in words. Poverty, occasioned by bad leadership has denied Africa the ability to manage herself and exposing it to the vagaries of external bullying and commands. That is the reason David Cameron or Barack Obama would forever talk down on Africa on what to accept or what to discard, as it is in the case of gay right, or there would be no food on our tables.
One might ask many questions on why the rich nations that love Africa so much as to do their best to impose gay rights and sane sex marriage on us would not do anything to ensure Africa, the only continent without a representation in the Security Council of the United Nations is enlisted.
With all the membership of the UN, six nations decide what holds and only Africa has no representative there. So what controls Africa and indeed the whole world is decided without Africa’s input. We have lacked leadership all these years that no African head of government, not even the docile African Union could champion that cause. They feel too inferior to champion such cause because they are powerless, just because they are bad leaders or not even leaders at all.
It is in Africa that so-called leaders bully their citizens and take all they have to themselves and family and no none raises a voice about it. Mobutu Sese Sekou looted about $7b from Zaire, and the money is hidden and invested in Europe. General Sani Abacha stole from us almost the same amount. His is also hidden in Europe. From one government to the other, the story of looting by government officials in Nigeria is endless. It is not out of place to say that every year, at least since 1999 when a form of check started, 50 percent of the nation’s budgets end up in private pockets of people in power. And because the rich nations have seen the emptiness of those that parade as our leaders and also know how much they steal from us and hide in their nations, where they lubricate further their economies and impoverish further ours, they lack the boldness to stand up to the rulers that assist in making sure Africa does not grow.
That person who feeds you has the right to tell you what to do. He that employs you also dictates to you what to do. In Africa, the major thing African so-called leaders do is to run to Europe and America, and lately China and Japan every other week. They go cap in hand with inferiority written all over their faces begging for alms, and the proceeds also mostly end in the pockets of the leaders.
From one generation to another, Africa remains down with hunger, diseases, wars and no leader does anything about it, of course because there is no leadership. It is all protocols everyday. President Goodluck Jonathan in his days traveled to China with a bevy of officials who signed a million papers and agreements. It has been the same ritual every year in every nation of Africa. All motion, no advancement, and at last you don’t see any result to justify the spending of traveling all over the world. President Olusegun Obasanjo made history as the most traveled president in the history of Africa and also the record of the worst manager of any nation in Africa, just next to or almost at par with Somalia leaders.
From the West to the East, to the South and up to the North, it is the same story Africa tells and re-tells about leadership. Our poor leadership exposes us to perpetual ridicule that everybody who extends food to us decides for us how to think and behave and threaten us with starvation and freeze of our food supply if we say no.
I recall again that I have never heard the West or America go to any Arab world and bully them over forceful gay rights and same sex marriage. Even the north of Africa is immune to the terror of Obama and Cameron on compulsive gay rights.
Cameron can never in all his brashness go to talk to China, not even persuade in veiled words that Japan, India, Indonesia, Korea or others tow the gay rights path. He can’t contemplate suggesting that to Russia, a fellow EU nation as UK to do that because they stand on their feet and feed themselves. But he can travel all the way down to sub Sahara Africa to scream at us because he feeds us from his crumbs and holds in custody money looted from our public purse by our men that parade as leaders.

controversial: Real-Life Angel Has Fallen From the Sky In London?



Finaly, Boko Haram Group Begs President Buhari For Peace Talks.?
President Muhammadu Buhari has been approached by a faction, as it named itself, of the deadly Boko Haram sect, seeking peace negotiations with Nigeria’s government.
Garba Shehu , the presidential spokesman, made this known in a statement, saying that efforts were under way to “verify their claims ” of having such power.
“A faction of the Boko Haram group came forward claiming to have the mandate to negotiate with the government, ” he saDid.
Buhari’s government recently said it was not opposed to negotiations with the sect, which has killed thousands and left around 1.5 million people evacuated during its insurgency.
Shehu added: “It is now left for them to show proof that they have the mandate, but they made it clear that they are representing a faction of Boko Haram that wants peace.”
It should be noted that despite his earlier stance during the electoral campaign
President Buhari has recently said he is willing to hold talks with Boko Haram commanders for the rescue of more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted last year.
The insurgents have killed more than 600 Nigerians in a spate of bombings and shootings since new president was sworn-in on May 29.
President Buhari will visit Cameroon on July 29-30 as part of efforts to cooperate with countries with which Nigeria shares borders.
It would be recalled that efforts to reach a peace agreement by the previous government of Goodluck Jonathan failed as Boko Haram denied holding any talks with government..”

ISIS Leader Turns from Terrorism to Follow jesus
God can reach anyone, anywhere, just ask this ISIS leader who went from killing Christians to being one. Sounds like Paul in the Bible. God can redeem any story!
“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams” (Acts 2:17).
The amazing story of an ISIS leader who converted to Christianity after meeting Jesus in a dream is proving this passage in Acts to be true.
Last week, this story made headlines when Gina Fadely, director of Youth With A Mission Frontier Missions, Inc. (YWAM) sat down with Todd Nettleton, host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio Network.
“One of our YWAM workers in the Middle East was contacted by a friend earlier this year and they met up and he was introduced to an ISIS fighter who had killed many Christians already,” Fadely recalls.
Fadely added that the jihadi admitted to not only brutally killing Christians, but “enjoying the act.” And, as we all know, this fighter wasn’t alone in his zeal for persecuting those who are deemed “enemies” of Allah. Christians and other Muslims who refuse to comply with ISIS extremism have both become targets of violence. ISIS has become synonymous with cruelty as footage of gruesome beheadings have circulated around the internet.
But we all know that no one— not even a bloodthirsty jihadi— is beyond the reach of God.
“[The fighter] told this YWAM leader that he had begun having dreams of a man in white who came to him and said, ‘You are killing my people.’ And he started to feel really sick and uneasy about what he was doing. The fighter said just before he killed one Christian, the man said, ‘I know you will kill me, but I give to you my Bible.’”
Sadly, the Christian was killed. But the ISIS fighter took the Bible and began to read it. That’s when he was visited by Jesus in another dream, according to Fadely.
“In another dream, Jesus asked him to follow him and [the fighter] was now asking to become a follower of Christ and to be discipled.”
Stories like this are becoming increasingly common as people all over the world report meeting Jesus face-to-face in dreams. It shouldn’t come as any surprise to those of us who have been radically transformed by Christ.
God is still doing the impossible right before our very eyes. Todd Nettleton added his own perspective on the story, saying that whenever we hear about the atrocities being committed against Christians at the hands of ISIS militants, we should be careful not to, “write them off as being out of reach of God’s grace and out of the reach of God’s Spirit.”
“So who knows? Perhaps this man will be like Saul in the Bible who persecuted Christians and he turned from that persecution of the early church to become the Apostle Paul,” Fadely said. “God can turn it around

US Gave Buhari List With Names Of Oil Thieves, And It Will Shock Nigerians – Source
A breaking report contains that President Muhammadu Buhari was given the specific names of oil thieves in the course of his recent visit to the US.
A member of Buhari’s entourage was said to have disclosed this information on Tuesday, July 28, to The Punch. The source added that when the Nigerian leader saw the list provided by the US, he could not believe his eyes.
“I can tell you that the President already has the list of names of the people engaging in the stealing of Nigeria’s oil. The list, when released by the president, will shock Nigerians. But let’s wait and see first.”
Another source from the presidency confirmed the information noting, however, that Buhari “has been keeping the list to himself”.
It was also obtained that there was one list with the names of high-rank Nigerian officials involved in corruption schemes and the other list with the names of illegal bunkerers. Apart from the government officials, the “oil list” allegedly contains the names of the retired and serving military chiefs.
Based on the report referring to the source disclosures, some ministers were stealing up to 250,000 barrels of Nigeria’s crude daily.
The person from Buhari’s team said Nigeria’s number 1 politician was already considering the idea of setting up a panel to try the guilty officials.
“The president will probe all of them and make sure they return whatever fortune they had made from their thievery.”
It should be recalled that Edo state Governor Adams Oshiomhole claimed that one of Goodluck Jonathan’s ministers had stolen $6billion . The information was reportedly provided by the American side in the course of Buhari’s visit. This caused serious argument among Nigerians . Many came down on Oshiomhole saying that he is one of those with itchy fingers. The others, outraged by the revelation, urged the acting government to immediately find and prosecute the minister accused of massive stealing.
In a recent development the All Progressives Congress disclosed the official position of the party regarding corrupt officials of the immediate past administration:
“Some people have insinuated that the Buhari administration should ignore the massive looting of our patrimony and move on. We say no responsible government can afford to do that, because it will amount to endorsing corruption and impunity.”
President Buhari on several occasions reiterated his commitment to fighting public funds embezzlement. This was also the case in the US where the Nigerian leader has recently met with his American counterpart Barack Obama.

FRESH: You can now check the school JAMB re-posted you to
TUESDAY, 28 JULY 2015
It is no news that JAMB is reassigning candidates to a different school from the one they initially chose.
Candidates can now check the school they've been redirected to as JAMB has made some amendments on their portal to suit this need.Goto WWW.jamb.org
JAMB policy: Court rules in favour of Jambites
JAMB policy: Co
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has repealed its earlier
decision to redistribute candidates that sat for this year’s exams to institutions
they (candidates) did not initially choose while filling their forms, CAMPUS DAILIES has gathered. JAMB has
come under criticisms lately since it announced the plan. Some days ago, some
candidates who chose the University of Lagos, UNILAG, and their parents staged
a peaceful protest in Lagos both at Unilag and the Federal High Court.
Professor Dibu Ojerinde, JAMB Registrar, had explained that the redistribution
was to help cushion the effect of spill overs from top class institutions, which
insist on not reducing their cut off marks, including UNILAG. JAMB had
announced cut off marks of 180 for universities in the country, while 150 for
polytechnics and colleges of education. But the body has now rescinded its
decision and has asked candidates to proceed to their first choice of institution
for their post-UME exams following the court’s verdict.
The judge delivered his judgement at exactly 12.20pm today & asked both
Jamb & Unilag to revert its sudden policy wit immediate effect. A copy of d
judgement has also been released.
Congrats to all JAMBITES!
