President Muhammadu Buhari promises to defeat Boko Haram by December.

In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera English’s flagship current affairs show, ‘UpFront’, President Muhammadu Buhari promised to defeat Boko Haram by December but also acknowledged he would be willing to negotiate with the group to secure the release of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls.

“They have to prove to us that they are alive, they are well, and then we can…negotiate with them,” President Buhari told ‘UpFront’ host Mehdi Hasan. “We said it and we meant it. If we are satisfied that the girls are alive.”

When asked whether he would offer financial payments, or a prisoner release, to Boko Haram in return for the girls, Buhari did not rule out either option. “Well it depends on the negotiations with the leadership of Boko Haram.”

The president has pledged to defeat Boko Haram by the end of 2015 and told Hasan: “As soon as the rainy season comes, which is by the end of the year Boko Haram will virtually be out of their main stronghold and that will be the end of it attacks by Boko Haram on townships, on military installations, will certainly stop.”

“I will be determined to stay and fight it out.”

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie terribly injured in accident.

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie while trying to escape being robbed got terribly injured.

This happened on Friday, October 16, 2015. Yul was in Enugu for a movie shoot and was relaxing in his hotel room when the armed robbers stormed the inn.

Yul says, ‘this really happened. I was attacked by armed robbers on Friday night in Enugu while I was relaxing in my hotel premises after the day’s shoot’.

‘Luckily I escaped but unfortunately I crashed into a glass door as I was running for dear life and sustained this cut on my ear and a few bruises. Not a funny experience at all. I’m back to Lagos to run a full scan to be sure all is well inside. I thank God for His protection’.

Radio Biafra Director, David Nnamdi Kanu reported arrested

Director of pirate radio, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, was on Saturday, reportedly arrested by Nigeria secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS).

This report was gotten from a statement published on its website, the separatist movement also confirmed that their Director has been arrested in Lagos by the Nigerian authorities, noting that it (Nigeria) has through this arrest played into the grand strategy of Biafrans.

Read the statement below.

Nigerian government this week made the greatest mistake of the century by the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and director of the Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

Nigeria made the mistake of equating Biafra to Nnamdi Kanu. Muhammadu Buhari may have been ill-advised that arresting and unlawfully detaining Nnamdi Kanu will quench the fire of Biafra raging across the world. How mistaken they are.

How can one stop such a raging wave that has ubiquitous structure across the world by arrest of a single man?

Buhari and Nigeria inadvertently played into the grand strategy of Biafrans. Biafrans have waited for them to make this move. With the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, Nigeria has given Biafran a perfect excuse to increase the agitation for their freedom. They have given reasons for so may world governments seeking to help Biafrans to wage into the matter!

Similar to the unimaginable local and international free publicity of Radio Biafra by the Nigerian government when it unsuccessfully tried to shut down the daily broadcast from the Biafran freedom radio, the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu will escalate the Biafran restoration cause to unimaginable corners of the world.

Kanu has always spoken about the rascality, irresponsibility and oppression of Nigerian government. Infact the fulcrum of Kanu’s daily’s broadcast from Radio Biafra lies on the unquenching zeal of Nigerian government to repress freedom of speech and respect of human rights.

What else can demonstrate this to the international community, who the Biafrans have been wooing for a long time to turn to the aid of Biafrans, than the arrest of Kanu. Imagine the modern world where Alex Salmond can speak about the independence of Scotland from Britain without getting hounded not to talk of arrested.

Imagine the Spanish government arresting Artur Mas for agitating for the independence of Catalonia? This is exactly what the Nigerian government has just done. The international community will clearly understand such message.

No other example can clearly demonstrate the plight of Biafrans under the Nigerian government than the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for seeking the liberation of his people.

It is very laughable that Buhari who has failed to arrest the sponsors and leaders of Boko Haram terrorists group killing and maiming innocent people, preferred to go after Biafrans who are peacefully seeking freedom from oppression and injustice.

Instead of dampening the Biafran spirit, Kanu’s arrest has intensified the passion and resoluteness of Biafrans.

By the way it is way too late to arrest Nnamdi Kanu in order to stop Biafra. Kanu has virtually completed his work. He has laid the foundations for the restoration of Biafra. He has raised the conscience of Biafrans across the world. As it stands today there are a thousand and one Nnamdi Kanu who are able and willing to carry on.

WRONG REASONS TO GO OUT WITH THE WRONG PERSON

I have decided to share this post because of the mistake most people make when going into relationship.

Below, I highlight 6 wrong reasons why people go into relationship and in my subsequent posts, I would highlight thing to consider before going into relationship.

1.     To avoid loneliness: Some ladies and men go into relationship because they need someone to make them complete, they need someone to fill the vacuum created by loneliness. Listen! This is not enough reason to go into relationship though of course it should be one of the reasons. You should have a life of your own so when a perspective date comes, you wouldn’t bore the person with your clinginess. If you have issues with being clingy then by all means deal with it. Relationship should not be an escape route from loneliness.

2.     Monetary benefits:         I have never said and would never say money is not necessary in a relationship but it shouldn’t be your main reason for going into relationship. You must know that being rich today doesn’t mean he/she would have tomorrow even though no one prays for evil.

3.     We should not go into relationship because our friends or family are getting it. Even though there would be pressure, Remember, God’s time is the best.

4.     Sexual fantasies: Yes!!! Sometimes, what our eyes see can deceive us. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go for sexy, classy and beautiful people; but the fact that someone is sexy, classy, beautiful, tall, bowlegged or whatever your fantasy is doesn’t mean the person is the kind of person you really want to be called yours.

5.     To impress: Dating or getting married shouldn’t be to impress our friend our friends or parent. If your parent can’t see reasons why you should be with someone you love, then try to see their reasons. I would not say you should totally disagree with your parents on all things but you know what you want. Don’t get married because your parent thinks he/she is the best choice for you. They would not live there with you remember.

6.     To compensate:    Do not say, this person has been good to me for the past years the only way I can pay back is to get married to her. It doesn’t work.
