Military frees 128 Boko Haram detainees in Borno

128 suspected members of the Boko Haram sect were today released to the Borno state government after investigations by the Nigerian army showed they had no ties with the sect. Presenting the released suspects comprising of 109 men, seven women, 11 boys and one unattached teenager, to the state governor, Kashim Shettima, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai said;


"The task of Operation Lafiya Dole can be seen in three terms, to defeat the insurgents, to facilitate humanitarian activities and observe human right and restore the administrative functions in the liberated area. We are here to formally hand over those arrested in the process of our operations; we are pleased to hand over the 128 suspects that have been cleared by the joint intelligent core, which comprised the Army, the police and DSS. This is clear manifestation that the army is clearly professional,” Buratai declared and expressed optimism that the Boko Haram terrorism would soon come to an end. We will continue to emphasis that this terrorism will soon come to an end. We have been supported by President Muhammadu Buhari; we are getting more equipment and we are getting more of our troops redeployed to the operation,”

Buhari’s 100 days and invasion of Akwa Ibom Govt House: My Position - Ayo Fayose

Governor of Ekiti state Ayo Fayose writes below... (must read)
President Mohammadu Buhari’s government is now 100 days and even though I align with most Nigerians, who opined that 100 days is too short in the life of a government, it is important to make some clarifications as regarding the administration. This is more so that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and some political jobbers that are looking for appointments are praising the President, citing imaginary achievements.
As at today, the only achievement recorded by the President Buhari’s government is the harassment of leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and those perceived as not on the same political page with the president in his party.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan and those who worked with him as well as PDP governors and leaders are now targets of harassment, and by this, the president is telling Nigerians that it does not pay to be honourable. Dr Goodluck Jonathan was honourable enough to allow a peaceful transition and conceded to the president even though it was obvious that his victory was questionable. Visiting such a person and those who worked with him with persecution as being done now, is no doubt a sad reminder of the reason we have many sit-tight leaders in Africa.

Interestingly, some of those who worked with Dr Goodluck Jonathan that the APC called thieves are now being appointed to manage the affairs of international organisations like the World Bank and African Development Bank.

LOPSIDED AND ILLEGAL APPOINTMENTS
In the last 100 days of President Buhari, appointments made have shown the president’s insensitivity to the ethnic diversity of Nigeria andcontempt for the Constitution of the country.

The South-East has been totally neglected as if the likes of Dr Ogbonnaiya Onu who was earlier touted as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and others in the region do not merit
appointments. This is unacceptable.

Appointment of Buharis’s in-law, Mrs Amina Zakari as Acting Chairperson of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); APC member, Alhaji Lawal Daura as Director General of the Department of State Service (DSS) and Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd) as the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, clearly violated the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.

ANTI-CORRUPTION CRUSADE
While I am in total support of the fight against corruption, it is my opinion that corruption can neither be fought along political party lines nor through the media.

What is being witnessed presently as fight against corruption is mere noise-making, witch-hunt and harassment of perceived political opponents of the president. This is more so that most of the political
allies of the President and those sponsored his election are also being accused of corruption and the president is looking the other way.

Most importantly, the Halliburton bribery scandal must be revisited.


INVASION OF AKWA IBOM GOVT HOUSE
The major sore-point of the 100 days of President Buhari is the last Thursday invasion of the Akwa Ibom State Government House by armed men of the DSS.

Nigeria is a Federation, with 36 States Federating Units and in a federation, the component states are in some sense sovereign.

Therefore, what happened in Akwa Ibom Government House last Thursday was clearly a government (FG) authorising the invasion of another government (State Government). Even during the dark days of the Military, it never happened in Nigeria.

The invasion of Akwa Ibom State Government House by armed men of the DSS deserves condemnation from all men of goodwill, including State Governors. It was Akwa Ibom last week; it could be the turn of any other governor irrespective of political party tomorrow.

Today, we are also being informed that it will soon be the turn of Ekiti State. We await Alhaji Lawal Daura’s men, but we assure him that Ekiti people will always rise to defend their government.

CONCLUSION
I commend the president for his efforts at ending the Boko Haram insurgency and I wish to call on all Nigerians to support the President in restoring peace to the Boko Haram ravaged North Eastern
part of Nigeria.

 As we look forward to the end of the honeymoon of Buhari’s presidency, I wish to state that if supposed men of honour are going underground because of possible harassment and intimidation, I, Peter Ayodele Fayose will not; because this is our fatherland.

Most importantly, those regarding President Buhari as a saint should know that he is not. The president is not also the Almighty God that cannot be questioned. After all, the beauty of democracy is in credible opposition.

As for me, I have been comfortable before I became governor and will not because of cheap publicity deceive Nigerians with declaration of cattle herds and mud houses as assets.

Today, I have expressed my mind concerning the 100 days of Buhari’s presidency as I did before the election. This I have done basically to remind Nigerians that I told them then, and it is happening now.

May God be with the President and bless Nigeria.

Ayodele Fayose,
Governor, Ekiti State

MASSOB scolds Ohaneze: Stop demanding political privileges from Buhari


(AWKA)
Top Igbo nationalist organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo, and other groups agitating for positions for Igbo representation in the President Muhammadu Buhari administration were yesterday warned to desist from making demands for political privileges from the President.
A faction of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), an Igbo separatist organization, which gave the warning said it was speaking to the Ohaneze Youth Council, Igbo political elites, traditional and teligious leaders in Igboland.
In a statement signed by the National Director of Information of the Factional MASSOB, Uchenna Madu, the group stated that Mr. Festus Keyamo was right when he described the Igbo leaders and socio-political groups demanding for the Office of Secretary to the Federal Government (SGF) as “noise makers”.
The statement reads in part:
“Even though President Buhari has a personal dislike and animosity against Biafrans, Ndigbo are the architect of their political humiliation in President Buhari’s administration because of their individual selfishness, personal ego and lust for money.
“President Buhari is very, very right in relegating Ndigbo to their current political status in Nigerian governance. Some Igbo political, traditional, religious, market and youth leaders blindly bagged their eggs of political and economical future in Nigeria in a fragile, demoralized and unsteady leader called Jonathan Goodluck, who glaringly crashed heavily with the Igbo political and economic eggs.”
Insisting that President Buhari was only paying Ndigbo back in their own coin for not voting for him and his party, the Factional MASSOB queried:
“Why have Chief Igariwe (Ohaneze PG), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike (factional MASSOB leader), Chief Ifeanyi Uba (TAN National Coordinator), Eze Cletus Ilomuanya (Sout-East chairman of Igbo Traditional Rulers), Chief Okwudili Ezenwankwo (South-East chairman of Market leaders), Chief T. Ahamefula Orji and Mr. Peter Obi (South-East Chief/Deputy Chief Campaigners of Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election), Chief Arthur Eze (Chief financial supporter of Goodluck Jonathan), South-East CAN/PFN leaders, hundreds of Igbo Socio-political groups and other Igbo leaders suddenly shut up their selfish political mouths since the heavy crash of Goodluck Jonathan? These selfish Igbo men are the real enemies of Ndigbo not President Buhari.
“These Igbo men openly and shamefully campaigned for Goodluck Jonathan who politically deceived Ndigbo, even Chief Ralph Uwazuruike (Factional MASSOB leader) the self-acclaimed agitator/liberator of Biafra, shamefully and openly campaigned for Goodluck Jonathan to continue in office as Nigerian President till 2019, while impoverished MASSOB members and Ndigbo earnestly wanted [to establish]Biafra before 2015 as Nigeria Amalgamation [reached its centenary] in 2014. Partisan politics has diminished Ohaneze Ndigbo.
“The silence of these selfish Igbo political leaders since President Buhari’s administration is an open acceptance of political defeat and self-condemnation associated with political inferiority complex.”
The statement concluded:
“Some Igbo political, traditional, religious and economic leaders will continue to blindly wallop in Nigeria’s political wilderness until they rediscover the courage of Ojukwuism as enshrined in the spirit of Biafran consciousness. The unrelenting and undeterred spirit of no surrender, no retreat.”

Photos: Flood submerges transformer unit in Asaba

Photos above show the state of the substation 1 transformer located at Jesus Save road in Asaba, the Delta state capital. Heavy downpour, which has been experienced in the state for over three weeks, coupled with lack of proper drainage system has resulted in the partial flooding of the transformer unit. Residents of the street say they now live in fear as they can be electrocuted if nothing is urgently done to address the very dangerous situation. More photos after the cut...

Lord Lugard’s Magic and Flora Shaw’s Spell - by FFK

In an article titled ‘Lord Lugard’s Magic and Flora Shaw’s Spell', former PDP Presidential spokesperson, Olufemi Olu-Kayode said Nigeria needs a lot of prayers. He said the name Nigeria has some satanic premonition which only prayer can solve. According to him, Lord Luggard and his wife Flora Shaw, who gave Nigeria her name, were occultic worshipers. He said the literal meaning of Nigeria is “the area of darkness”. The article after the cut...

In 1916, Lord Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, the 1st Baron Lugard, the fourteenth Governor of Hong Kong and the first Governor-General of Nigeria, said the following:
“Lagos has for 20 years opposed every Governor and has fomented strife and bloodshed in the hinterland. I have spent the best part of my life in Africa; my aim has been the betterment of the natives for whom I have been ready to give my life. But after some 29 years, and after nearly 12 years as Governor here, I am free to say that the people of Lagos and indeed the westerners are the lowest, the most seditious and disloyal, the most purely prompted by self-seeking money motives of any people I have met.”

As if that were not bad enough, two years later, on September 25th 1918, in a letter to his colleague Walter H. Lang, Lugard wrote the following: "The Hausa-Fulani has no ideals, no ambitions save such as sensual in character. He is a fatalist, spendthrift and a gambler. He is gravely immoral and is seriously diseased that he is a menace to any community to which he seeks to attach himself."

Lugard's words are utterly reprehensible. They represent the most appalling examples of racial stereotyping that I have ever seen. Yet he didn't stop there. In his book titled 'The Dual Mandate' (pg. 70) 1926 he wrote the following:

"In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person. LACKING IN SELF-CONTROL, DISCIPLINE, AND FORESIGHT. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewelry. HIS THOUGHTS ARE CONCENTRATED ON THE EVENTS AND FEELINGS OF THE MOMENT, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has reached. Through the ages THE AFRICAN APPEARS TO HAVE EVOLVED NO ORGANIZED RELIGIOUS CREED, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural . HE LACKS THE POWER OF ORGANIZATION, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. HE LOVES THE DISPLAY OF POWER, but fails to realize its responsibility... he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue... In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy...Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are HIS LACK OF APPREHENSION AND HIS LACK OF ABILITY TO VISUALIZE THE FUTURE."

There can be little doubt that this arrogant englishman was a rabid racialist who had nothing but the deepest contempt for our people. He was also one of the most uncouth and vulgar souls that ever polluted our shores with his unwholesome and malevolent presence.
It is one of the greatest ironies of modern history that this ignorant seafarer was the individual that recommended to the British Colonial Office that the Northern and Southern Protectorates of Nigeria and the Lagos colony, should all be merged into one large country. That recommendation was accepted and consequently Lord Lugard can legitimately be described as the chief architect of modern-day Nigeria.

It was actually Lord Lugard's wife, Miss Flora Shaw, that proposed the name Nigeria for our country. This was done in an article that she wrote for the London Times on January 8th 1897. She and Lugard got married five years later in June 1902 after which she became known as Lady Flora Lugard. Shaw was well connected.
Her mother was a French lady of Mauritian stock by the name of Marie Adrienne Josephine and her father was Major-General George Shaw, a respected British army officer. She was colonial editor of the Times of London where she wrote an influential weekly column titled ''The Colony''.
She was not only stunningly beautiful but she also had vision and substance. Given that, one finds it difficult to comprehend what an enterprising and extraordinary woman like this found attractive in an abominable scalywag like Lord Lugard. I daresay that this was a classic case of the beauty and the beast.

Despite his pretensions of love Lugard despised the numerous ethnic nationalities of Nigeria and he continuously expressed his contempt for us with his insulting and condescending commentaries.

Perhaps his best known intervention was made in 1914 in a letter that he wrote to the British government just a few weeks prior to the amalgamation. He wrote as follows:

"What we often call the Northern Protectorate of Nigeria today can be better described as the poor husband whilst it's southern counterpart can be fairly described as the rich wife or the woman of substance and means. A forced union of marriage between the two will undoubtedly result in peace, prosperity and marital bliss for both husband and wife for many years to come. It is my prayer that that union will last forever".

From this contribution it is clear that ours was a ''forced'' union. It is also clear that Lugard saw northern Nigeria as a ''poor husband'' that needed constant attention and support whilst he saw southern Nigeria as nothing more than a ''rich wife'' or a ''woman of substance and means'' whose plight was to be constantly pillaged and ravished.

This was his vision: a northern Nigeria that was essentially the ''head of the household'' and that would remain in control of all the power and resources of the state and a southern Nigeria that would play the role of a passive and subservient wife whose destiny it was to remain in perpetual subjugation and bondage.

Sadly this was the crooked foundation upon which our union was built. What made it even worse was the fact that the so-called ''southern wife'' and ''northern husband'' were never asked if they wanted the marriage in the first place.

The truth is that the British colonialists were masters of divide and rule. The amalgamation of the southern and northern protectorates was a Greek gift which was designed to fail and to crumble at the appropriate time. Nigerians have done well to have held it together for so long and the fact that we have only experienced one civil war is miraculous.

Despite all pretensions, the only thing that has kept us together is the oil of the Niger-Delta and the extraordinary resilience, patience, faith, fortitude, zeal and strength of the Nigerian people themselves.Mr. Sola Adebowale, a writer, understood the mindset of Lord Lugard. He captured it rather well on Facebook in 2014 when he wrote the following:

''Lugard was a stark illiterate and it was quite unfortunate that that was the best that imperial Britain could send to Africa. Hence he was noted to have vehemently opposed native education for Africans. And he was said to have loathed the educated and sophisticated Africans of the southern coastal regions who had been educated by the Christian Missionaries before him and instead wined and dined and positioned the uneducated feudal hordes of Africa to the forefront of leadership of Africa. Is that not the albatross against many African nations till date? Hence the moral right of Devil Lugard to pontificate about Africans is questionable''.

Mr. Adebowale has hit the nail on the head. I concur with his submissions.

Permit me to end this contribution with an interesting aside. It is generally agreed though not commonly admitted that both Lugard and Flora Shaw were Luciferians who practiced the black arts and all manner of satanic rituals. He was a "High Priest of the Freemasons" whilst they were both avid folllowers of Aleister Crowley, the leading satanist of his day and the self-styled "worlds most wicked man".
This explains a lot. It also explains why Shaw gave us the name "Nigeria"- a name which has questionable roots. Anyone that doubts this should consider the literal translation of Nigeria from latin: it means "the area of darkness" and there is a deep spiritual and mystical reason that she gave us that name. It comes with a lot of baggage because not much good can come out of an area of darkness.
Most of the former British colonies changed their names after independence for similar reasons but because most of our leaders in Nigeria were not aware of these matters they refused to do so. Lugard and Shàw were an unlikely couple who had no children. What held them together was more spiritual and mystical than anything else and Nigeria and the Sudan are their joint legacy to the world.
Sadly both countries are having major challenges today. Sudan has broken into two after a protracted and bitter civil war whilst Nigeria is experiencing serious regional, ethnic and religious tensions. It is clear that our nation needs a good deal of prayer. May God deliver us from Lord Lugard's magic and his beautiful wife's spell.

2 Nigerians Arrested For Producing Cocaine in Thailand (Photo)


2 Nigerians Arrested For Producing Cocaine in Thailand (Photo)

Two Nigerians Joseph Uyamadu, 43, and Emanuel Umiano, 33 and a Peruvian were arrested on Monday by a combined force of narcotic suppression police and naval officers yesterday after a raid at their rented house in a rubber plantation in Ban Khai district of Rayong province revealed a large number of chemicals and materials used in producing drugs.


The search in the house produced an amount of cocaine being thrown into the flush tank, a bag containing black and sticky substance similar to raw opium, black sheets of substance, choric acid, electric grinder, a microwave oven, kerosene, and two cars.

The black sheets of substance are suspected to be chemical substance used in producing drugs, a narcotic police officer said but noted they have to be tested in the laboratory to determine again.

All were detained at Ban Khai police station pending investigation into their drug records,

Considering the drug laws in Thailand, These men are as good as dead
