Nigeria: It's A Matter Of Upbringing
[ Nigeria: It's A Matter Of Upbringing ] - "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it."- Proverbs 22:6. This passage in the Holy Book, the Bible, is arguably the most recommendable for children's upbringing - both for Christian and non-Christian parents. It therefore places on the parents the ultimate right and responsibility for raising better children, therefore, making up a healthier society. This advice also ties most, if not all, of the culpability of a child's undesirable character and choice of direction to its parent(s). While it's highly commendable for parents to teach their children (wards) the times of life they live in, it's equally pertinent that these parents train........ Click here to read full story.

Jonathan Urges Boko Haram To State Demand
[ Jonathan urges Boko Haram to state demand ] - Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has challenged Boko Haram to identify themselves and state clearly their demands as a basis for talks. "If they clearly identify themselves now and say this is the reason why we are resisting, this is the reason why we are confronting government or this is the reason why we destroy some innocent people and their properties ... then there will be a basis for dialogue," said Jonathan on Thursday. "We will dialogue, let us know your problems and we will solve your problem but if they don't identify themselves, who will you dialogue with?"

Nigeria: Subsidy - Labour's Premature Truce With Govt
[ Subsidy: Labour's Premature Truce With Govt ] - The removal of fuel subsidy will go down in the history of Nigeria, as one of the most unpopular policies ever imposed by a government on its people. Nigerians kicked against the policy from day 1of its proposal, to the first of January when it was imposed on unsuspecting Nigerians. The regrettable announcement made by the PPPRA triggered N65 to a whopping N146 per litre overnight.

Going! Going! Gone! Nigerian Northern Elites and The Auctioning of Buhari
[ Going! Going! Gone! Nigerian Northern Elites and The Auctioning of Buhari ] - Auctioning is a process of disposal of tangible goods to the highest bidder at the time the auction cry is over. The highest bidder takes the goods except if a higher bid comes up before the bid is closed. I do remember with nostalgia my early years when after every annual harvest and thanksgiving church service the parishioners gathers for the bazaar sales. The goods offered to The Lord as thanksgiving offerings were usually gathered together for disposal to the highest bidder. The items include tubers of yam, livestock, cattle, clothes, kitchen utensils, bicycles, motorcycles and whatever item the parishioners came to church with. A goat could be sold for twenty times the market value to the cheering of parishioners or in rare cases at the market price especially minutes before the end of the bazaar. The money realized is used to further the work of the Gospel. The Nigerian Northern Elites have auctioned their greatest chances to......... Click here to read full story.

Somalia Hostages Freed In US Raid
[ Commandos rescue aid workers from Somalia pirates ] - US elite commandos swooped into lawless Somalia and rescued two Western aid workers held for three months by armed pirates in a daring pre-dawn raid approved by President Barack Obama. In a rare US incursion into Somalia, Navy SEALs flying at least six military helicopters flew in to pluck American, Jessica Buchanan, and Dane, Poul Thisted, to safety in a fierce gun-battle which left all nine kidnappers dead. Obama, who had been updated regularly about the kidnapping by his top defence staff, gave the green light late on Monday for the risky operation on learning that 32-year-old Buchanan's health was in danger. "Jessica's health was failing," Vice President Joe Biden said on ABC's Good Morning America show. "They concluded they should go at this time. The president gave the go." Buchanan and Thisted, 60, who were employed by the Danish Refugee Council Demining Group helping to......... Click here to read full story.

Egypt Marks Anniversary of Revolution
[ Egypt marks anniversary of revolution ] - Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in cities across Egypt, Wednesday, marking the one year anniversary of the "Lotus Revolution" - the uprising which united Egyptians and forced Hosni Mubarak from power. However, the mood, while positive, was tempered by fears of enduring military rule, with many demonstrators claiming they were protesting the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF), rather than celebrating a successful revolution. By midday, Tahrir Square, the symbolic heart of last year's uprising, was packed, with huge crowds stretching down the side streets running off the square. Protesters chanted slogans calling for SCAF's head, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, to resign. Others called "liar" and "thief" while holding posters depicting Hosni Mubarak standing, humiliated and in his underwear, amid piles of money. Signs hanging above the square read: "No to military trials, yes to human rights". For Shady (a pseudonym), there was little reason to......... Click here to read full story.

US Marine To Serve No Time Over Iraq Killings
[ US marine to serve no time over Iraq killings ] - A US marine accused over the killing of 24 Iraqi civilians in the city of Haditha was demoted to the rank of private but will serve no time behind bars, a military spokesman has said.

Gadhafi Loyalists Seize Libyan Town
[ Moammar Gadhafi loyalists seize Libyan town ] - Moammar Gadhafi loyalists have seized control of a Libyan town and raised the ousted regime's green flag, an official and commander said Tuesday. The retaking of Bani Walid comes as Libya's new leaders have struggled to unify the oil-rich North African nation three months after Gadhafi was captured and killed. Hundreds of well-equipped and highly trained remnants of Gadhafi's forces raised the green flag over buildings in the western city late Monday after hours of clashes, said Mubarak al-Fatamni, the head of Bani Walid local council. Al-Fatamni, who fled to the nearby city of Misrata following the attack, said four revolutionary fighters were killed and 25 others were wounded. He said the Libyan Defense Ministry has not.........

Deadly Blasts In Baghdad's Sadr City
[ Deadly blasts in Baghdad's Sadr City ] - Two car bombs have exploded in the Sadr City area of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, killing at least eight people and wounding 21 others in the latest attack targeting Shia areas. The first attack occurred next to a group of labourers queuing for work at about 6:45am local time (03:45 GMT), while the second bomb exploded outside a bakery half an hour later, an official said on Tuesday.

Nigerian Fuel Subsidy: Strike Suspended

Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer but it imports almost all of its refined fuel.
