The Nigerian Defense Headquarters has released a statement saying a total of 14 soldiers died during gun battle between members of terror group Boko Haram in Baga, Borno state over the weekend. The statement released yesterday January 11th by Gen Chris Olukolade below... “A total of 14 soldiers were killed in action during the attack, while over 30 who were wounded are now receiving medical attention. Most of those declared missing in action have also rejoined their unit in the ongoing reorganisation for further operations. Although several of the terrorists died in the course of the attack and efforts at repelling the assailants, the actual figure of civilian casualties is yet to be creditably determined as is being propagated in certain quarters. The Nigerian military has not given up on Baga and other localities where terrorists’ activities are now prevalent. Appropriate plans, men and resources are presently being mobilised to address the situation.  The Nigerian componen

  Now you know, General Muhammadu Buhari did not lie in his affidavit. Here's a confirmation of one of his certificates with the US war college, 1980 class.

In a scene that played out like a badly scripted Nollywood movie, a dismissed pregnant female ‘police officer’, Funmilayo Balogun, has been arrested for stealing a Honda Crosstour car worth N5m from a car dealer in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and later sold it for N3.5m, having collected the sum of N2m from the unsuspecting buyer.

The Police Commissioner explained that Balogun came to Abeokuta about two months ago and stole a car dealer and sold it. Since then, she has been on the run unti

  Finding a TRUE LOVER is becoming something else these days! Ada Nba Agbazue, the 17 year old girl who fell from an abandoned 18 storey building in Abule-Ajanloco in Lagos, while trying to escape from a facebook lover turned rapist, says that her assailants intended to kill her for ritual purpose after forcefully having carnal knowledge of her. This is really sad. Ada is currently lying at the Ilemba Ajangbadi hospital in Lagos where she is being treated for multiple fractures and other injuries. She attributes her being alive to a miracle, stating that she finds it hard to explain her survival. What happened that a man she loved through facebook wanted to kill her? Details below: When they met at a public place and she could remember is that, "he touched me and immediately, I lost my senses. I started following him." Ada was lured to the abandoned storey building on December 26th by a man she purportedly met on facebook as exclusively reported by The Mirror, last w

  I just hope President Goodluck Jonathan is not exposing himself as being afraid of Muhammadu Buhari, and as such will say anything just to rubbish him? Let's focus on the issues and not name calling! The President on Friday during a rally in Enugu said Buhari cannot remember his own mobile phone number. Jonathan, whose unscripted address was mostly a response to previous statements made by Buhari, accused the APC presidential candidate of deceiving Nigerians by promising to revive the economy without explaining how he would achieve the feat. The President wondered how Buhari would develop the country’s economy, a feat he could not achieve while he was in office as head of state between 1983 and 1985. Jonathan asked: “Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the country”? The PDP presidential candidate said that although he did not like to “go personal during campaigns,” but that “sometimes circumstances demand th

Some angry youth on Saturday attacked and set ablaze a campaign bus branded with President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign posters at Zololo junction, Bauchi road in Jos, Jos North Local Government area of Plateau state. The bus was on fire due to disagreements between PDP supporters. Once again, PDP reaps the whirlwind of lack of internal democracy Crisis erupted in yet another PDP state chapter on Saturday, 10th January, as angry youths in Jos burnt a PDP branded bus and vandalised other cars. According to reports, this was in protest of the candidacy of Gyang Pwajok, the PDP governorship candidate in Plateau state, whom they said was imposed by his former boss and outgoing governor, Jonah Jang. Pwajok was returning from Lagos where he received the flag of the party to contest in the February poll, but his return to the state was marred by the violence allegedly by PDP youths supporting another faction. Pwajok is the current senator for the Jos North senatorial district, and

President Jonathan had said at a PDP rally in Lagos Thursday that MEND tried to assassinate him on two separate occasions, pointing out that the leader of the organisation, Henry Okah, now serving a jail term in South Africa over his atrocities, was paid by some people to assassinate him in 2010. This was even as an ex-militant general, Godsday Smith, alias Bouninawei (the god of the forest), said there was no way ex-agitators in the Niger- Delta region would abandon President Goodluck Jonathan for Muhammadu Buhari. But he also maintained that Jonathan’s indictment of ex-militants on plot to kill him was hasty and uncalled for, adding that there was no time ex-militants conspired against his government. Smith asked Jonathan to be bold enough to confront the North which he said was planning his downfall. But on his part, MEND’s Spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, said: “We challenge President Jonathan to come out and reveal to the nation the names of the persons he claimed paid Mr Henry

  In a desperate bid to raise funds ahead of February 2015 general elections, politicians seeking or sponsoring candidates for elective posts have started selling their property in major cities of the country such as Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Investigation by PUNCH revealed that the development had crashed property market value as the politicians reduced the cost of their property by between 50 percent and 100 percent just to raise money for campaign. In Rivers State, a Port Harcourt-based estate practitioner, who simply identified himself as Nonye, confirmed to our correspondent that many property, especially those in Old GRA, had been put up for sale by some politicians. According to him, there has been a sharp increase in the sale of property by politicians, who ostensibly need money to woo voters for support. He specifically said a former governor of Rivers State sold some of his property in order to assist some politicians seeking elective positions. According to

  The PDP National Youth Frontier is affiliated to the Office of The PDP National Youth Leader. Her teeming members cut across the 36 states and diaspora. In a recent press statement, the group has vowed to work with the PDP National Youth Leader, Hon. Abdullah Maibasira and the Presidential Campaign Council Committees on Youth Mobilization, Civil Societies and Support groups, to win Northern votes for the Party and President Goodluck Jonathan. The PDPNYF in the North West and North East and North Central regions described Jonathan as a very good and marketable product. They stressed that Jonathan has done creditably well for Northern Nigeria and Nigeria at Large. "The establishment of Almajiri Modern Schools to check the increasing percentage of out of school children, predominant in the Northern Region is laudable". "Out of the 12 Federal Universities established by the President, 9 are situated in the North. They further affirmed that these Universities h

Some guests that attended the wedding of President Goodluck Jonathan’s foster daughter, Inebharapu and her husband, Simeon, on Saturday got more than they bargained for when security agents, who had a lot of difficulties controlling the surging crowd, resorted to the use of teargas. Among the crowd that attended the wedding were a large number of women, who were conveyed to the venue in their hundreds in long buses belonging to the Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company. Policemen, soldiers and officials of the Department of State Security made frantic efforts to push back some guests at the main gate. When the situation became too rowdy, they used tear gas to disperse the agitated guests. While scampering to safety, many people sustained various degrees of injury. A pregnant woman simply identified by her relatives as Oby went into coma and was quickly rushed into an ambulance belonging to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps. When she could not be stabilised after abou

  Wahala dey o! Commercial s*x workers in the country under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Prostitutes, NANP, have thrown their weight behind the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari. NANP said it would declare a-three-day free s*x across the country if president Jonathan eventually loses the seat of President to General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC. A statement signed by the group’s General Secretary, Jessica Elvis noted that NANP was not happy with Jonathan’s government over the way commercial s*x workers were being treated in the country since he assumed office as President about six years ago. It described Jonathan’s government as the worst in the history of Nigeria, saying that it recorded the lowest income due to low patronage from poor during his tenure. The statement also quoted Elvis as saying that several approaches to the presidency to legalize prostitution were turned down. “We are calling on all our m

  The All Progressives Congress has carpeted President Goodluck Jonathan over his claim that the opposition party’s presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, cannot remember his telephone number. The APC described Jonathan’s comment as very “petty” and “silly”, coming from a President. He said, “ It is silly and petty to say Buhari cannot remember his telephone number. For the 20 moths Buhari was in power, he ran a surplus budget and he was the first Head of State to introduce local content. Mr. President is ignorant.” Jonathan, had, while reacting to promises by Buhari that he would build the economy and fight corruption, at a rally in Enugu on Friday, asked how the APC presidential candidate would develop the economy if elected, a feat he could not achieve while he was in office as Head of State between 1983 and 1985. He however went personal on Buhari when he said: “Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the count
