7 Hour Assault!
100 Soldiers lost!!
Pride of the Chadian Military dented!!!

That's all it took for the Chadian President, Idris Dēby to announce the Wrath of Boma operation & personally take the fight to the doorstep of Boko Haram theguardian.com/global-develop…

@mydeji247

A few days after the counter attack led by President Idris Dēby that saw the capture of the arms store of Boko Haram & fleeing of the insurgents, their leader, Ibrahim Shekau in a viral video, has gone spiritual & is begging to be left alone

https://twitter.com/DailyPostNGR/status/1247475974452604929?s=19

Is this the same Shekau terrorizing the @NigeriaGov , @HQNigerianArmy & the same group that ambuished & killed at least 50 Nigerian soldiers in March? aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/5…
Why then has Boko Haram continued to prey on the Nigerian military & citizens unhindered?

SHOCKER!!!

"Despite gulping N13bn in 5yrs, State House Clinic unfit to treat the COS to the President, while top officials shun facility"

That's the headline that greeted Nigerians on April 6, 2020, a sad reflection of the state of healthcare facilities in Nigeria

The @NGRPresident had proposed a capital expenditure of N46bn for the @Fmohnigeria in the 2020 appropriation budget which was N4bn & N10bn short of the 2019 & 2018 capital expenditures respectively. vanguardngr.com/2019/10/furore…

Good morning & welcome to #TheDiscuss

This morning we revisit the global pandemic #COVID19 & @NigeriaGov effort in it's fight against the spread of the disease

This comes as the WHO warns that Africa's window to contain the virus is narrowing

https://twitter.com/MobilePunch/status/1243391042218573824?s=19

The number of cases have also risen as more tests are being carried out

https://twitter.com/thecableng/status/1243301813429960704?s=19

It has also been learnt that flights are still landing in Nigeria despite the supposed ban on flights while the land & sea border are still porous

Before the imperialists interrupted traditional systems of govt, Kings reigned supreme & were next only to God.

Interruptions were not only done by imperialists, kingdoms invaded & dominated other kingdoms leading to wars, displacements, slavery
#TheDiscuss

For Nigeria, the British Indirect Rule preserved traditional institutions but watered down their powers extensively, making them 'figure heads'.

The current reality is that an Oba, Kabiyesi, Obong, Sultan, Olu or Emir is entitled to ONE VOTE

What then is responsible for the reactions to the removal of Emir Sanusi II?

Welcome to #TheDiscuss

The outcry against plans by @NigeriaGov @MBuhari to borrow in order to finance infrastructure underlines the need for citizens' engagement on national issues

If the request is granted by the lenders, we could keep servicing our Chinese loans till 2040

Interestingly, over a quarter of Nigeria’s N10.59 trillion 2020 budget (N2.7 trillion), goes into debt servicing, exceeding N2.4 trillion appropriated for capital expenditure

@UtohPaul @naijama @tysalihu I am happy to finally talk about the SC decision in Hope Uzodinma v Ihedioha where the Supreme Court declared the former as the rightful winner of the election and ordered the latter to vacate his seat. The Court also rejected an application to review the judgment.
#TheDiscuss

@UtohPaul @naijama @tysalihu Since the Supreme Court has now brought the saga to an end, it is now right for me to express my views, both on the substantive judgment and on the application for review which was rejected yesterday. There is no more the question of it being sub judice.
#TheDiscuss

@UtohPaul @naijama @tysalihu But let me admit that I have not read the full text of the Supreme Court decision yesterday where it rejected the application for review of the substantive judgment (which I have read). But I believe there are enough facts on ground to express my opinion. #TheDiscuss

The Judiciary has been said to be the last hope of the common man & is seen as the most important organ of government because it acts as their protector against the possible excesses of the legislative & executive organs of government.
