I always report and tweeted about #BokoHaram captives and was called an alarmist, a BH sympathizer. Today, it's about the #ZamfaraTwins, that I am silent. We MUST know that every captive needs our care, it doesn't matter who their captors are, insecurity affects us all.
There were and still are thousands of #BokoHaram captives and victims that we may never learn about. Across the country, insecurity bites; almost every part of #Nigeria is insecure, life is caught short by greed, hate and the breakdown of law and order. This must be stopped.
Every citizen has a responsibility to condemn and report crime, wherever it happens and whomever it affects, if you are indifferent because you are unaffected, you may be the next victim. What affects one, must concern us all, this is what humanity and citizenship is all about.

#ISWAP eyes, perhaps set on Maiduguri, as this night attack by the group is ongoing in Auno, barely 24 kilometres to the city. The Nigerian Airforce is currently providing air support to ground troops.
Reports coming in from Auno indicate that #ISWAP fighters were pushed back after they suffered heavy casualties from the #Nigeriantroops, but the group’s capacity to carry out daily attacks on military targets across the region call for serious concern.
Each attack comes with new displacements into #Maiduguri. The new arrivals from Auno to the inundated city of Maiduguri said both the #Nigeriantroops and #ISWAP suffered casualties, just before they fled. #Tragic

Is the cloned Buhari gossip founded on the propaganda by security officials that Abubakar Shekau too, gets cloned whenever he is killed? How can you deny dying when you are even alive? Exactly what is our priority or priorities as a nation?
This same president has not addressed a bunch of issues bothering on insecurity and governance, so, how will joining issues with jesters on a cock and bull story advance peace and security across #Nigeria, let alone, the vexed issues of poverty and unemployment?
I am asking again, what precisely is our priority or priorities as a nation?

The Nigerian government has shown unwillingness to use hindsight for the benefit of foresight to address the #BokoHaram/#ISWAP conflict. At every stop the insurgents seem more determined to kill than the government's determination to stop the killings.
The insurgents are no longer faceless as the previous Govt often said, their origins, locations and plans are known in the region. The civilian population of BH/ISWAP is more than the combatants. Therefore, Non military intervention is equally important as a military campaign.
Non military intervention does not mean dialogue with the insurgents, the prospects of a peace settlement in the #LakeChad is near impossible, at this stage. It is Nigerian govt that must dialogue with itself, to bring all its institutions to speed to complement the military.

Now we know why a few days ago, @GarShehu was trying to undermine @nigerianstat and the statistician general.

He had clearly seen the unemployment figures, and knew the 43% disaster that was en route, hence the very disgusting behaviour...
But there's another aspect to this nonsense the man tried to pull: asides undermining the integrity of the one organisation that is VERY important for us to climb out of our economic morass, Mr. Shehu's behaviour offered us an insight to how the current government solves problems
Rather than trying to understand the issues, what these characters do is to obfuscate, and try to divert attention.

Mr. Shehu's claim of 12 million people employed by rice alone does not stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever, but he made it anyway.

Today is the Jayanti of Khudiram Bose, one of the youngest martyrs in the history of India's freedom struggle, hanged to death at just 19 years of age. His hanging ignited the nation's fury against the British rule, inspired many a revolutionary.
Khudiram Bose, was born on December 3, 1889 in a small village, Habibpur near Midnapore. His father Trailokyanath Basu was the revenue agent for Nadazol province, and Khudiram was the 4th son in a family of 3 daughters.
As he was the only son, two others dying in infancy, his mother Lakshmipriya Devi, as per the prevailing custom, symbolically sold him to her eldest daughter Apurupa for 3 handfuls of “Khud” or foodgrain.

In View Of Recent Developments & The Protracted Nature Of The #BokoHaram Conflict, I Believe That The FG Now Need To Escalate A Political Process To New Highs. The Takeoff Point Has To Be The Appointment Of A "Special Rapporteur On The NE Conflict"
The obdurate leadership of BH+ISWAP will not readily accede to a peace process BUT there are aprroach roads at the lower level which can be escalated at the level of the populace to create a better operational backdrop for those who are tasked with security operations in that AoR
Even as that did not stack up to the NE Insurgency in terms of intensity, we have seen this pan out in the equally long standing conflict on the Jos Plateau, an area which was already stablilized enough as of 2014 as NOT to warrant fears of an inability to hold elections there

#BokoHaram: Pres @MBuhari Reaction
Shortly after the 157 Task Force battalion came under intense enemy attack, the President activated multiple strategies in restoring the morales of the troops & assuring the citizenry of govt resolve in dealing effectively with the crisis.

 This young man is Muhammad Sharif Badwan. He was killed East of #Gaza City at the Karni crossing after being shot in the chest by #IDF gunfire on Friday afternoon. #Israel
2/5
 Many news sites refer to Badwan as either a protestor or a demonstrator who was shot and killed by the #IDF. The photo on the left, from the DailyMail, states Badwan is a protestor. The photo on the right from CGTN states Badwan is a protestor as well.
3/5
 The problem is Badwan wasn’t there to protest in the way most people think. This video was taken Friday afternoon at the Karni crossing where Palestinians were clashing w/ #IDF soldiers. At the end, you can see Badwan being evacuated after getting shot by the #IDF.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
