You Can’t Take Glory For The Recent Defeat Of Boko Haram, FG Tells Jonathan

After Former President Goodluck Jonathan went on international Tv to say he is glad that the weapons his administration bought is what the present administration, led by President Muhammadu Buhari is currently using to defeat Boko Haram and he is happy he laid the foundation for the defeat, the Federal Government through its Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has replied the ex-president, telling him not to dare think of it and remember what he bought during his administration was nothing but substandard weapons. In a statement issued in Abeokuta on Monday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, described as unfortunate and unsubstantiated the statement credited to former President Goodluck Jonathan attributing the recent successes in the war to the weapons allegedly bought by his Administration that were delivered after he had left office.

He said the present Administration owes it a duty to put the record straight, especially because the issues raised by the former President are of public interest and border on national security.

”The weapons, munitions and equipment which the former President said he bought were refurbished and lacked the basic components and spare parts. Additionally, the ammunition bought for both high calibre and small weapons have mostly expired, incompatible with weapons and grossly inadequate.

”It is pertinent to state that the ammunition he was referring to were back loaded because they explode within the barrel when fired, thus leading to deaths and injuries among soldiers,” Alhaji Mohammed said. He explained that the troops also lacked the much-needed lift and operational vehicles and other equipment which they needed for an effective prosecution of the war, until the present Administration ameliorated the situation.

”The situation was so pathetic that soldiers were often transported in Civilian JTF vehicles, civilian vehicles, trailers and water tankers when going to the theatres of operation. The revelations on the sorry state of things in the past, which have emanated from the investigative panel so far, point clearly to the kind of legacy bequeathed to this administration by the past government.

”That explains why troops remained largely static and were unable to effectively deploy to completely rout the Boko Haram terrorists in all their known enclaves. The high level of casualties sustained by our gallant soldiers was most unprecedented and cannot be compared to any known military operations in recent times, all because of the terrible state of affairs suffered by the military under the Jonathan Administration,” the Minister said.

He said apparently because former President Jonathan could not understand how credible and dedicated leadership could impact positively on the morale and performance of troops, he has chosen to denigrate the system for the unprecedented feat that was achieved within the first six months of the Buhari Administration – something that he could not achieve in all of six years!

”It is also clear, as has been shown so far by the outcome of the panel probing past arms deals, that the purchase of substandard weapons apparently resulted from the massive corruption that enveloped the deals, the kind of horrifying graft that saw the purchase of refurbished choppers that lacked rotors, or fighter jets that could not be deployed to the theatre of war because they were not up to par.

”The needless loss of lives of many of our gallant troops, resulting from the lack of standard weaponry and low morale in the past, is not a matter to be trivialized under any circumstance,” the Minister said

Tears, Blood & Sorrow, As Woman Crushes Eight To Death In Lagos

Tragedy struck on Ilaje Road, in the Bariga area of Lagos State, after a female motorist in a LandCruiser Sport Utility Vehicle crushed eight pedestrians to death. It was gathered that among the dead were a pregnant woman, two siblings, an old woman and a man returning from his place of work. Several others were also said to have sustained varying degrees of injuries, including fractures and broken limbs in the Saturday incident which happened around 9pm.

Punchcorrespondents gathered that the driver of the yet-to-be-identified woman had left the vehicle for her near Majok Filling Station on Ilaje Road and had left for his house. The woman, said to be staying on Adebisi Street, had barely taken the wheels to drive the SUV home when the incident occurred. The vehicle reportedly surged forward, crushing pedestrians and killing four of them on the spot.

A set of nine injured people were reportedly taken to the Gbagada General Hospital, among whom two died; while another set of seven casualties were later recovered. It was learnt that two more corpses were found in the gutter on Sunday morning. Angry youths were said to have gone to the scene and dragged the woman out of the SUV and beaten her up.

She was about to be lynched when some policemen from the Bariga Police Division intervened.

Punch Metro learnt that the suspect was to celebrate her birthday on Sunday and was going home to make preparations for the event before the incident.

When Punch correspondents visited the area on Monday, about 20 okada riders (motorcyclists) besieged the police station to demand the corpses of two of the people who were killed in the accident.

A resident, identified as Iya Oyinbo, said the vehicle seemed to have had a brake failure. She said, “The woman was driven to the Majok Filling Station by her driver after which the man left for his house and the woman moved to the driver’s seat to drive the vehicle home. What we saw was that the SUV suddenly surged forward and hit a pedestrian at the filling station. “The vehicle also moved from there to hit some pedestrians by the roadside. It was three stationary faulty cars at the end of the Ilaje Road which eventually stopped the SUV.

“Four persons were crushed and they died instantly, including a woman, who was pregnant, and was taken inside a Keke Napep. On Sunday, two other hospitalised victims died.”

Another witness, Raheem Banji, said the corpses of two motorcyclists were found the following morning in the gutter where the SUV had flung them. He said, “There were two okada riders who fell inside a gutter on that day. It was on Sunday that we found them. After the accident, youths gathered and began to beat up the woman for being careless. The mob wanted to destroy the car, but for the arrival of the policemen who saved her.” A Keke Marwa driver, Laide Olakune, said he was lucky to have escaped, adding that his tricycle was badly damaged by the vehicle.

Olakunle said he was taking four passengers to the Ebute area, when the tricycle was hit and they all fell into the gutter.

“Although my tricycle was damaged, neither me nor any of my passengers sustained injuries. The police wanted to take away my tricycle as part of evidence, but I refused because I need to repair it and put it back on the road so I can make a living,” he said. A police source said the female driver, who was rescued with injuries, was recuperating in a private hospital in the area.

He said, “The woman is wealthy, and she was to celebrate her birthday on Sunday. The mob stripped her to the underwear and beat her up. She is recuperating in a hospital; her husband has showed up at the police station. “There was no pregnant woman in the incident. The victim had Fibroid, and looked as if she was pregnant. The police will invite the driver after

My Wife Beats Me To Coma At Every Chance’ – 65-Year-Old Man Cries Out

A 65-year-old man has approached an Asaba High Court, Delta State to dissolve his marriage with his wife who he accused of always beating him up. The petitioner, a father of four, who preferred anonymity lamented in court how he married the woman after his first wife died because he craved for a companion.

However, he got more than he bargained for as he claimed he suffered severe beatings from the woman.

Narrating his ordeal in court, the man said: “I married my wife in 1998 and did the church wedding at Catholic Church of Assumption, Zappa, in Asaba. Since then, we have two children; a boy and a girl, but this woman always threatens to kill me, she beats me at every chance, and many times, I go into coma. She vowed that she must kill me and she sent all my children packing, I cannot continue with the marriage.

“She beats me most times, but it came to a climax on January 17, 2016, when she took something and hit my head in an attempt to kill me, so that I would not be able to pursue the divorce case in court, but thank God, her mission did not come to reality as I overcame her plan.

“She is a harlot, she beats me every day. I cannot eat her food again because she is a harlot. It is against my tradition and I want the marriage dissolved before she kills me.”

However, on her own part, the woman denied her husband’s claims before the court, wondering why she would harbour plots to kill her husband. “What will make me to beat or attempt to kill my husband? We stay in the same house, sleep on the same bed, I am taking good care of him, but I don’t know what is wrong,” she said.

According to reports, there has not been enough evidence to prove that the complainant suffered physical abuse from his wife.

However, the case remains in court, while the trial judge demands his first son as a witness to the allegations, the case was adjourned to Wednesday, February 17, 2016.

About Half Of The University Graduates In Nigeria Cannot Find Jobs

Much of the talk in Nigeria since the turn of the year has been about the biting economic crisis which has been triggered by a dip in global oil prices. As the country’s main export and largest source of revenue, the fall in oil prices has resulted in lower foreign exchange earnings for the country which will, this year, be running a record deficit budget.

So far, the stock market and currency slide have been the key indicators for the crisis but a survey by Jobberman, a leading recruitment agency in the West African region, provides another damning statistic.

According to the survey, taken by almost 90,000 people, 47% of the country’s university graduates are unemployed in Africa’s largest economy. By some estimates Nigerian tertiary education institutions produce up to 500,000 graduates every year and there are also Nigerian graduates who study abroad who come home to compete for jobs.

Jobberman describes the new data as a sign of the “need for urgent actions on both public and private sector operators”. In the last few years, as the number of unemployed university graduates has climbed, employers have attributed the problem to the quality of university education and have described some graduates as ‘unemployable’ as they lack required skills. Nigeria’s university system, which holds about 150 schools, is mostly over-populated and can only cater to 40% of applicants annually. This suggests that universities likely struggle to deliver quality education as resources are stretched.

The sentiment is also shared among Nigerian parents who, according to StudySearch, a London-based educational start-up, are estimated to save as much as $50,000 to finance their kid’s education outside the country. Primarily, while criticism of local universities is valid in some cases, parents also believe foreign education provides an edge in a very competitive labor market.

According to Jobberman, ways to solve the problem include creating secondary skills development and acquisition programs as well as government investment in job creation schemes. President Buhari insists job creation is a priority for his government and has drawn a link between unemployment and the country’s insecurity concerns.
