Nigerian born United States Army Captain has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to suspend every form of gentility and get down with the Boko Haram terrorists group.

He said for the President to win the war
against insurgency, he has to shelve his
gentility and introduce a hard stand. He said
the war against insurgency could be won if the
Federal Government was determined, adding
that there were several ways of wiping out the
sect and stopping the incessant killings. He
added that if the Federal Government was
ready to end Boko Haram today it will be
achieved.
“ Who are those in the sect that dare face the
government? But unfortunately, I suspect there
are some bigwigs behind these people. Mr
President is being too gentle in his handling of
the killings; but unfortunately, it is daily
assuming dangerous dimension; gentility
cannot win the war. Although gentility is not a
crime but Mr President will have to be more
aggressive because this is a security threat to
the entire nation. Mr President will have to take
a stand on the matter either to continue to
tolerate the sect and leave Nigerians to be
mourning every day with the several killings.
Mr President should give a matching order to
the military to wipe them off once and for all.
Not until a strong stand is taken Nigerians
may not be able to sleep with their eyes
closed,” he said.
The U.S army captain, who said the Nigerian
military has been doing a good job in the
troubled states, stated that the military is
fighting unknown faces and faceless groups.
He said to effectively combat the menace, the
Federal government will have to first identify
the cause of the problem, the root, sponsors,
as well as where and how these insurgents get
their weapons.
According to him, the security agencies do not
also understand the terrain they are fighting
the war because most of them are alien to the
battle fields, adding that they know nothing
about the sect, and questioned how they will
fight such war and win.
Adebomi, who revealed that he led over 5,000
U.S. soldiers to war during the Pre-
Mobilisation in 2010, expressed optimism that
the sect could be wiped out. He said the sect
meant nothing to the Nigeria security agencies
if genuine commitment was there adding, all
the military need is the Presidential directive.
The Nigerian born U.S soldier urged Mr.
President to read the riot act to the governors
of the affected states or be made to face the
wrath of the Federal government, noting that
the President could also compel the governors
in the states to account for each soul lost to
the insurgents.

Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the jungle, but crocodiles rule the river. At least most of the time. That wasn’t the case in a video shared by Kruger Sightings the other day. It shows a young lion crossing a river and getting blindsided by a crocodile. A woman in the background can be heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my God,” just before the inevitable. But it has a happy ending: A happy ending for the lion, that is. The crocodile’s next meal would have to wait. The footage was captured by a tourist while standing on the H10 bridge near the Lower Sabie River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. “All we can say is, lions should always look both [ways] before crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings said on Facebook

Obasanjo tells youths, Fight for Nigeria’s survival.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has told youths to take up the responsibility and effect the needed change in Nigeria instead of blaming the previous generations for the nation’s decay. The former President said this at the 100th-year anniversary of Ijero Baptist Church in Lagos on Sunday. Obasanjo said the generation before him fought for Nigeria’s independence while his generation fought for Nigeria’s unity during the civil war. He said the subsequent generation also fought for democracy. Obasanjo, therefore, said it was time for the next generation to make its own contribution to national development instead of complaining. He said, “Recently, a son of my friend looked at everything around him and got angry and went to meet his dad who is my age mate. He told his father that our generation is a lost one. The father did not pay him any attention so he came to meet me. “He told me what he told his father and justified it by telling me that he went...

China Ice Festival

The event is recognized as the largest of its kind in the world. The Festival officially lasts for one month, but with winter temperatures in the city averaging a bone-chilling minus 17C, many of the sculptures remain in place for considerably longer than that. The sculptures are formed either from compacted snow, or from blocks of ice which are hauled out of the nearby Songhua River. Purified water is also used, - frozen into blocks of clear ice. Many of the sculptures are illuminated to add another dimension to the displays during the long hours of darkness at this time of the year. The Festival began in 1963 but it was only held sporadically, because of the upheaval during the Cultural Revolution. It became a regular event in 1985. In 2001 the Harbin Ice Festival was merged with the Heilongjiang International Ski Festival, to become the event we know today. In 2007, a sculpture celebrating the work of a revered Canadian doctor, Norman Bethune, was recognised ...

Angelique Kidjo: speaks on state of Africa

And with Africa facing new challenges - from Ebola to extremists opposed to girls' education - she is vocal in her criticism of Western depictions of the continent. "Do you think everybody in Africa has Ebola?" she asks on Talk to Al Jazeera. "We didn't invent Ebola. It's just a disease that exists there. Like, are we going to be blamed for inventing malaria too? If there is an Ebola outbreak in the Western world, will the media in the West treat it the same way?" She also expressed her frustration with the way Western media portray Africa as a continent steeped in violence, victimhood and corruption. "A success story in Africa doesn't interest any media," she says. "They are so eager and hungry for horrible stories from Africa. Why? It looks like the West is the hyena, feeding on the misery of the African people. They should be ashamed doing this." On the topic of terrorism, she is crushing in her criticism ...

Most Nigeria popular Food

Nigeria is a blessed country. We are blessed with diverse rich culture and food. Nigerians both at home and the diaspora always love their food because of how unique and delicious it is. You are free to add to the list because this list is based on my research. Feel free to salivate.... It's allowed. RICE AND STEW This happens to be my second favourite meal funny enough. It is called Sunday food by most people because although people prepare rice and stew on a normal day, it is most commonly prepared on Sundays. The rice is boiled white and served with stew made from tomatoes and other ingredients. I did a research on how different people prepare stew and it turns out that there are different ways of making stew. But 70% of Nigerians prepare is with tomato, onion, vegetable oil/palm oil. It's definitely one of the most popular foods in Nigeria. POUNDED YAM Pounded yam is one of the most popular foods in Nigeria. What Nigerian man hates pounded yam? We don't joke with ...
