In 2014 We Will Kill More, Allah Says We Should Decapitate,Amputate,Mutilate' - Boko Haram

The leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, has appeared in a new video, promising to “decapitate and mutilate” more people in the name of Allah and ridiculing the United States for putting a bounty on his head, saying, “You can’t in any way harm me.”

Shekau, who has been dubbed a “global terrorist” by the U.S and twice been declared killed by the Nigerian military, claimed responsibility for a December 20 attack on a tank battalion barracks in Bama, Borno State.

“Brothers pulverised 21 armoured tanks. People were killed in their multitudes, bodies scattered all over,” he said, adding that his forces “blew out the brains” of soldiers who tried to hide under their blankets.

“Had Allah allowed us to eat them we would have eaten them but we are not cannibals,” he added, according to reports. “This is a victory from Allah.”

12 Biggest Scandals of 2013

In no particular order, NigerianEYE's 12 Biggest Scandals of 2013

1. ASUU’s 6-month strike

Worried parents and members of the public expressed relief as the six-month-old nationwide strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over non-implementation of 2009 agreement between the union and the Federal Government was called off on Monday, December 16.

While the strike lasted, there were counter-accusations from both parties, alleging insincerity of purpose on the issue of the strike.

ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Fagge, said the union decided to call off the strike after diligent and careful appraisal of various reports, especially the resolutions signed last Wednesday by ASUU and the Federal Government.
A major casualty was recorded when the former National President of the union, Professor Festus Iyayi, died in an auto crash on his way to Kano to attend the National Executive Committee meeting of ASUU, where it was speculated that the union might have taken the decision to call off the strike. After Iyayi’s death, the lecturers postponed their decision on the strike indefinitely.

Frustrated, federal government through the supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, had threatened to sack all the striking lecturers should they fail to resume classes within seven days, after accusing them of shifting introducing new demands.

Undaunted, ASUU insisted it would not call off its strike except government agreed on demands raised when it met with President Jonathan.

2. Return of ailing Governor Danbaba Suntai
On Sunday August 25, Taraba State Governor Danbaba Suntai returned to Nigeria after spending almost a year abroad on treatment, following October 25, 2012 plane crash in Adamawa State.
After his return, he wrote the State House of Assembly, notifying them of his intention to resume work. The House, apparently not satisfied with the plan, asked the ailing governor to appear before them.
Suntai did not appear before the lawmakers. But the lawmakers were allowed to meet him after an alleged move to impeach him.

The lawmakers, after meeting him, were unsatisfied with his health status and asked the acting Governor Garba Umar to continue in office pending Suntai’s full recovery.

3. Purchase of N255m bullet-proof vehicles for Oduah
Stella Oduah, the Aviation minister’s outrageous car purchase scandal stirred outrage from many Nigerians as the N255 million ($1.6 million) bulletproof BMW Li HSS cars with chasis numbers WBAHP41050DW68032 and WBAHP41010DW68044 reportedly delivered to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on August 13, 2013, for her use became public knowledge.
The committee said the current price of the vehicles shouldn’t have ordinarily exceeded N50 million each. However, nothing has yet been heard from the panel set up by the presidency to investigate the scandal.

4. Rivers Assembly Speaker
Attempt to impeach Rivers State House of Assembly speaker, Otelemaba Amachree, by five lawmakers loyal to President Goodluck Jonathan on July 9, 2013, failed, following the intervention of Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
The failed plot to impose Evans Bipi by five out 32 lawmakers as speaker would have provided the much needed ingredient to impeach Governor Amaechi, who is seen as a stumbling block for President Jonathan 2015 presidential bid.

Amaechi had to intervene after realising that the security forces which ought to have brought the illegal plan under control were appearing to have been compromised.

Since then, the relationship between the governor and the State Commissioner of Police Mr Mbu Joseph Mbu has not been cordial.

The fracas that trailed the failed impeachment bid left some lawmakers injured.

5. Sanusi alarm over ‘unaccounted’ $49.8bn oil money
The whole nation was thrown into confusion last week when the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Malam Lamido Sanusi, through a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, raised an alarm over non-remittance to the Federation Account of $49.8bn being part of the proceeds of crude exported by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), between January 2012 to July 2013.

However, the Apex bank governor last week retracted his claim, telling the Senate on Wednesday that the reconciliation of accounts that was carried out by CBN, Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Ministry of Finance had shown that only about $10.8bn had not been accounted for.

6. Arrest of Governor Sule Lamido’s sons
The recent arrest of Governor Sule Lamido’s two sons, Aminu and Mustapha, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in November, over money laundering allegations was seen by many as a political persecution.
Governor Lamido, who is believed to be jostling with President Goodluck Jonathan over the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is a member of the G-7 governors group that has been calling on President Jonathan not to run in 2015 as well as for reforms in the PDP.


7. Anambra election
The poor handling of the Anambra State governorship election held on November 16, 2013, by the Independent National Election Commission (INEC) had generated controversies and reactions from the political arena and different interest groups in the country.


8. Governor Chime’s ‘wife arrest’ uproar

The wife of Governor Sullivian Chime of Enugu State, Clara Chime shocked the country when she wrote a petition to the National Human Rights Commission (NCHR), claiming that her husband had kept her under house arrest for the last three years.
The matter became embarrassing for the governor as Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana wrote a letter to the Inspector General of Police, on Clara’s behalf, urging him to get her released. Wanting to put an end to the scandal, the governor asked his security details to move the estranged wife to her mother’s home.

9. Ombatse killings saga
On February 7, over 74 policemen and operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) were killed, and their corpses gathered and burned after about 14 truckloads of armed security agents stormed Alakyo village in the Eggon area of Nasarawa State. The security men were deployed to arrest the Alaky chief priest, popularly known as Babalakyo, over allegations of forceful initiation of Muslims and Christians into the cult. Fourteen policemen of Eggon origin and three civilians, were arrested over suspected leakage of the operation.

The State Security Service (SSS) Director General, Ita Ekpenyong shocked many Nigerians when he said the security agency had forgiven the Ombatse cult members that killed 10 of its personnel.

10. Nigeria Governors’ Forum election controversy
Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, was on Friday, May 24, 2013 re-elected the chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) for a second term.

Amaechi defeated the Plateau State governor, Jonah Jang, after the decision of Katsina and Bauchi States governors, Ibrahim Shema and Isa Yuguda, who were seen as President Jonathan’s candidates, to withdraw from the race. Amaechi got 19 votes, while Jang polled 16.


11. Apo 8 killing
A shabbily-executed operation by the Department of State Security (DSS) and the Nigerian Army on Friday, September 20, 2013 left eight innocent persons dead and 11 others wounded at an uncompleted building located near Apo Legislative Quarters in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The building was inhabited by homeless artisans and petty traders. The security operatives claimed that they were killed and injured in a shootout with Boko Haram insurgents, a claim which was denied by the victims.
Marilyn Ogar, the SSS spokesperson, said in a statement released after the incident that its officials acted based on information obtained from two Boko Haram suspects, Kamal Abdullahi and Mohammed Adamu.


12. The Obasanjo letters
To round off the scandals in the year are the Obasanjo letters – as two letters, one from former president, Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan, and a purported response from an unlikely quarter, the former president’s daughter, Iyabo, are now labelled.

There remains uncertainty over who actually authored the Iyabo letter, as the former senator, who now resides in the United States, has remained mum over the contents of the letter which thoroughly took her father to the cleaners. Editors at the Vanguard newspapers, which first published the Iyabo letter, maintained they stand by their story.

Obasanjo had written a letter to President Jonathan accusing him of numerous acts of bad governance, violating the constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party and training snipers to eliminate certain Nigerians.

Brave Father Rescues Son From Crocodile With Bare Hands

State media in Zimbabwe yesterday reported that a villager fought a crocodile with his bare hands to free his son from its jaws in northeastern rural Mutoko.


The Herald newspaper reported Tafadzwa Kachere and his 11-year-old son Tapiwa were trying to cross a river on Christmas Eve when the crocodile attacked the boy. It reported that Kachere jumped onto the crocodile’s back and tried to force open its jaws, beating at its head with his fists and poking at its eyes with reeds.

The crocodile released the child and turned on Kachere who wrestled free of its grasp. The newspaper said the child lost a leg and his father’s arm was severely gored. Both survived.

Crocodile attacks are common in rural Zimbabwe during the rainy season but many go unreported

Bachelor Party Invaded By Boko Haram, Kills Eight

Suspected Boko Haram fighters opened fire on a bachelor party in Borno State, killing eight people and wounding several others, witnesses told Reuters yesterday.

“Three Boko Haram members came on motorcycles at about 11 yesterday night,” Abdul Usman told Reuters in Maiduguri, where he fled after escaping the attack on Tashan Alade village. “They were shooting indiscriminately.”

Boko Haram is fighting to impose strict Sharia or Islamic law in the north but why attacking a Bachelor Party?

30,000 Nigerians still stranded in Central African Republic

Abia State University Makes Igbo Language A Compulsory Subject

Abia State University, is to introduce the Igbo language as a compulsory course in the second year. The news was announced at the 6th edition of the Igbo (Uturu) Cultural Carnival, held at the university, by Prof. Ihechukwu Madubuike, Director, Igbo Renaissance.




"By the next two years, the university plans to introduce the Igbo language as a compulsory subject for all students in the second year," Prof. Madubuike said.

"Whether you are Yoruba, Hausa or Efik, you must take Igbo as a compulsory subject, in spite of your area of specialisation."

He described the Igbo language as the "soul of the culture of Ndigbo," stressing that the whole culture will become extinct should the language disappear.

Earlier, the traditional ruler of Oko in Anambra state and a former Minister of Education, Igwe Laz Ekwueme, urged people of the South-East to preserve the Igbo language. He expressed regret that the language was under serious threat, as many families of Igbo origin preferred to communicate in foreign languages, especially the English language, with their children.

Prof. Barth Chukwuezi, a director in the National Commission for Museums and Monuments and Head, Educational Services and Training, noted that the Igbo language ranked among the few native languages in the country facing serious threats of possible extinction. He advised parents to use the Igbo language in their homes as a major means of communication with their offsprings.

Katty Perry - I Don’t Believe In God

The 29-year-old Pop star who was raised in a devout Christian home claims she no longer believes in a single religion in a new interview with the U.S. edition of Marie Claire. Katy Said:

 “I don’t believe in a heaven or a hell, or an old man sitting on a throne. I believe in a higher power bigger than me because that keeps me accountable,” she told the magazine. “Accountability is rare to find, especially with people like myself, because nobody wants to tell you something you don’t want to hear.” 

Perry added: “I’m not Buddhist, I’m not Hindu, I’m not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God. I pray all the time – for self-control, for humility. There’s a lot of gratitude in it. Just saying ‘thank you’ sometimes is better than asking for things.”

What Singer Flavour Said About Marriage

In a recent interview, popular singer Flavour has revealed that he is not ready for marriage.

When asked the secret of his success, he said, "The secret of my success is originality. Right from day one, I knew that if I try to be original, the sky would be my limit. But I know it’s going to take some time before that dream would become a reality. This is because nothing good comes that easily. I work so hard to sound so original in my music. Right from when I released my first album, there has been a tremendous improvement in my music. And this time around, I had enough funds to do better videos which has distinguished my style from other artistes. Africans as a whole love originality, even though some might pretend about it . If you are original in whatever you are doing today coupled with being down-to- earth, you will get to anywhere you want to. That has been the secret of my success".

Speaking on where he gets inspiration from, he said, I draw my inspiration from people around me, especially things that happen around me I like when things go bad and when things go good because it doesn’t have to be good all the time

We asked about his proposal to his girlfriend, he replied:

People will always talk and turn around stories. But I am still single because marriage is not my priority for now. I still want to hit the top before thinking about marriage. It’s not yet time. I am still concentrating on my music.

It was once rumoured that you were dating Tiwa Savage after doing a collaboration with her. Was it true?

I didn’t feel bad when I heard about the rumour because I knowpeople will always talk even if we didn’t kiss. While shooting the music video, the director came to us and said, you guys are playing love scene, you need to do something intimate. He urged us do it, and I now looked at Tiwa and she gave me a go ahead and I said ‘yes’ we can do it. There was nothing wrong with that. More over, we did music with passion.

Kanye Not To Say ANYTHING Negative For 6 Months

Kanye West promised not to say anything negative about anyone or anything for at least six months in his latest rant during the last stop of his Yeezus Tour in Toronto on December 23, .



Here is what Kanye said:

"Everything I'm saying that’s not allowed, soak it in right now. This might be the last time y’all hear me talk s*** for a long time. Might be another like 6 months, at least. You’re just gonna have to run back the interviews and sh*t if you wanna hear some realness!

"I’m gonna tell y’all right now that all of the ideas, what they call the rants the streams of consciousness that I express, I told y’all, save those tapes and everything because I’ve decided to completely focus everything in 2014, on new ideas and on creative outlets.

"I’m not [going to] ever bring up Nike again, and the only way I’ll bring them up is in a positive light … I’ll never bring up the Grammys again in a negative light, because I actually appreciate the 21 Grammys that I did win.

"Because I’m not [trying] to be a dude that has all the opportunities in the world and only focuses on the negative, or complains about it, or just gets in some type of zone that just having to turn up all the time and sh*t. So I’m letting you all now that this is the last Yeezus show, and this is the last time you’ll ever hear me say negative about anyone.."

STRIKE: College Lecturers On Strike

The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) has embarked on an indefinite strike in order to “salvage the institutions from total collapse.”

The strike was called on Monday, leading to the suspension of academic activities at the Federal Colleges of education nationwide.

The lecturers are concerned over the Federal Government’s Integrated Personnel Payment System (IPPS) as well as on the decaying infrastructure in the colleges. The strike came soon after university lecturers ended a long-drawn industrial action that lasted nearly six months.

An official of COAESU, who does not want to be named because he was not authorised to speak, said the union went on strike because it appeared this was the “only language that the Federal Government understands.”

“Our colleges are rotting away; no befitting libraries, hostels, lecture halls and other structures. The books in our libraries today are outdated,” he said. The official said colleges of education needed adequate funds for transformation to enable them provide the expected services to the nation.

Dialogue to End Conflict in Nigeria - Call from Pope Francis

Pope Francis, celebrating his first Christmas as Roman Catholic leader called for dialogue to end the conflicts in Nigeria, Syria, Democratic Republic of Congo and Iraq, and prayed for a “favourable outcome” to the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians.

He called for “social harmony in South Sudan, where current tensions have already caused numerous victims and are threatening peaceful coexistence in that young state”.

“Wars shatter and hurt so many lives!” he said, saying their most vulnerable victims were children, elderly, battered women and the sick. The thread running through the message was that individuals had a role in promoting peace, either with their neighbor or between nations.

AfroCandy Calls Maheeda Out, War In Nigeria’s Nudity Industry

Apparently, AfroCandy has not been finding Maheeda’s numerous nude pictures funny. She challenged her on twitter to post pictures of her bare boobs if she dares, so that Nigerians can compare the two. Now Afrocandy didn’t mention Maheeda’s name, but when Maheeda first started you need to see Afrocandy’s tweets and you won’t need a soothsayer to tell you she is referring to her and we all know Maheeda is younger. See the picture Afrocandy used in challenging her after the cut. Afrocandy has also been banned on Facebook so she now has a website where she shows it ALL. Who still remembers Cosssy?

Merry Xmas

As you relish the goodies, decorate every nook and crannies of your home and enjoy the "get-togethers", I pray that God makes the joy and festivities continue to radiate in your lives, long after Christmas is gone. AMEN!

Top 5 Worst Quotes of 2013

1) “You are a widow… go and die”
Oh dear! Edo state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole became this year’s face of insensitivity when he was recorded on video, yelling at a poor widow displaying her wares illegally by the roadside to go and die. He later had tea with his victim and rewarded her generously but still, that image lingers.

2) “I cannot categorically tell you one now… the one we are going to make use of is going to be made known by my oga at the top…”

Mr Obafaiye Shem, former Lagos state commandant of the National Security and Civil Defence Corps was asked a simple straight forward question by the hosts of Channels tv’s daily breakfast show. “What is the website of the NSCDC?” It became his undoing as he went on a rambling routine that did not produce the answer to the question but succeeded in shedding light on the pathetic state of affairs of our public institutions and officers. 

3) “As the president, I don’t know him (Abu Shekau) and don’t know if he is dead or alive; you journalists will know more than us. You are the ones who talk to Boko Haram”
In a presidential media chat, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan uttered the words never to be spoken by a country’s chief security officer. In denying the whereabouts (and maybe existence) of Abu Shekau, Boko Haram’s point man, he took the war on terror 10 steps back. Worse still was the lackadaisical manner in which he delivered his cluelessness.

4) “Any academic staff who fails to resume on or before December 4, 2013 automatically ceases to be a staff of the institution and vice chancellors are also directed to advertise vacancies in their institutions.”
Nyesom Wike, supervising minster for the education ministry wading full throttle into the federal government-ASUU impasse like the uncouth fellow that he is and trying (unsuccessfully, thank God) to scuttle the work of parties genuinely committed to ending the months long strike. His ill advised press conference in which he stayed screaming at the microphone and yelled threats became an instant visual manual for government officials on how not to act in public. 

5) “I am the best rapper in Nigeria. If you have an opposing opinion, now is the best time to keep it to yourself”
Rapper Yung6ix having his imagined Kendrick Lamar moment.

Ronaldo - Neymar will go down in history

The Selecao legend believes that the Barca star will be one of the greatest South Americans ever if he continues on his current track

Former Barcelona and Real Madrid striker Ronaldo has claimed that Neymar will "go down in history" as one of the best Brazilian players ever.
