“I want to appeal to the Americans to please stop laughing at us. They should stop ridiculing this nation. The government claimed that it asked for cobra helicopters. The government of Jonathan asked for little weapons to destroy the enemies. We are in a situation of destroy or to be destroyed. They asked for the weapons even for self defence, I think the Americans should not boast of what they have done to supply assistance to vulnerable affected households. All are laudable and nobody is in disagreement with them.

“These are necessities. But this is not the response I expect to the situation of war. This nation is at war. And this nation is asking for certain forms of assistance. Please United States of America, could you please overlook the arithmetical deficiency of governance and stop giving an excuse to this government for failing to protect us. Please just say that you will not supply arms to Nigeria and leave it at that. Don’t say that you sent other things, that are not the issue at this critical time in Nigeria,” Soyinka said.

It would be reviewed that a previous Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.), has as of late clarified why the United States of America ought not been seen as Nigeria’s accomplice in the battle against the Boko Haram rebellion.

Nigerian military repels attack on Borno town, Konduga; kills 70 Boko Haram terrorists

Nigerian soldiers on Monday night clinched another huge victory over the extremist Boko Haram sect, repelling their attack on Konduga town in Borno State and killing at least 70 of the rampaging insurgents, security sources have told PREMIUM TIMES.

Muhammed Abbas, an official of the Nigeria Vigilante Group in Maiduguri told PREMIUM TIMES that the Boko Haram terrorists, who attacked the town at about 8 p.m. on Monday night, met stiff resistance from soldiers stationed in the town.

EXCLUSIVE: Inside Nigerian military’s renewed offensive against Boko Haram; terrorists now on the run

An apparently better equipped Nigerian military has revved up its battle against the extremist Boko Haram sect, displacing the insurgents from key Adamawa and Borno towns they overran and seized in the past months, a PREMIUM TIMES journalist travelling in the area is reporting.

Another Boko Haram weapon destroyed by the Nigerian military

In what appears a renewed bid to overwhelm the terrorists, the military, assisted by local vigilantes, known as Civilian-JTF, has cleared most of the towns ravaged by insurgent activities, our correspondent says.

The Nigerian military has drawn stinging criticism over its handling of the war against Boko Haram, an extremist militia that started in 2009 by killing or abducting security agents and civilians, while also attacking schools, markets and places of worship.
The group began seizing territories in parts of Borno and Adamawa States in 2014, a year that has seen Boko Haram’s most horrendous assaults.
More than 3,000 people are believed killed by the sect this year alone.
As town after town fell to Boko Haram, which busied itself shooting, bombing and raiding communities, and slitting the throats of defenceless residents, Nigerian troops came under severe local and international ridicule for failing to neutralise often predictable attacks by the militants.
In recent months, soldiers have openly abandoned their posts as Boko Haram fighters arrived, fleeing militants they admitted were better armed and motivated, and surrendering even additional weapons to them.
American official said in June that the situation became so terrible that Nigerian troops feared to engage the terrorists.
But things now appear to be looking up for the military, our correspondent says, as he travels around towns seized by Boko Haram, but which have now been liberated by the military.
“The military appears to be better equipped and motivated, and appears to have upped its war games,” reporter Aliyu Tilde, usually critical of the military’s response to Boko Haram, said in despatches to the newsroom Monday.

The road to Hong still deserted after Boko Haram insurgents were dislodged by the military

PREMIUM TIMES is the first news organization to access the heavily-guarded areas of Adamawa and Borno States, currently under military operations.
“Gaskiya (truth be said) Nigerian military is doing a very very fine job here. They have cleared Gombi, Hong, Mararraba, Mubi and the entire route of Boko Haram,” Mr. Tilde said.
“They are now at Uba slugging it out. Vehicles aren’t allowed beyond Gombi. People trek to Hong. The road is quiet. Clearing of hazardous materials like IEDs going on along Mararraba-Mubi Road before the road is open to users.
“Gombi-Garkida road is also cleared. It is safe. Saw many vehicles plying the road. Clearing of Garkida-Biu road may start soon,” he said.
“The military is now better equipped and more confident. Its newly acquired T72 tank is devastating. Boko Haram bombed it using suicide bombers with a pickup packed with explosives but to no avail. Only scratches. And the beast moved on.

Communities are still riddled with bullets and IEDs. The military is doing a lot of cleaning up

“If the military is able to keep the tempo, many more places will be liberated,” Mr. Tilde said.

On Tuesday, the reporter continued his journey, talking to residents of liberated towns, soldiers, and vigilantes.
In a dispatch on Tuesday night, he wrote, “Gombi is quiet, half-empty, on curfew today, in the full control of Nigerian armed, police, custom, immigration forces. A camp of vigilantes can also been seen just before the junction to Mubi.
“I trekked from Muchalla to Gombi, seen burnt cars, motorcycles and buses of Boko Haram when their advance was checked by the military 10 days ago.
“Their last advance was stopped at Muchalla. So many bullet shells, small and big, on the road plus signs of shelling of trees, houses, etc. Night curfew started just now at 6pm.
“Many residents have returned although the road from Girei to this point has been nearly empty.
“Lassa and Dile exhibited the best use of self-defence doctrine. Unlike other towns that fled on hearing the sound of Boko Haram gunfire, the youths stood their ground and slugged it out with the Boko Haram chaps. Within 30 minutes they cleared them although few were able to escape.

“Boko Haram is becoming demystified gradually, it seems.
“There seems to be some change in the composition of the soldiers here. Most of them are 30 and above, truly professionals. The incident of begging for tips from motorists has also reduced drastically.
“We just hope they have made adequate safety arrangements for keeping the liberated towns safe.”

What is the future of Oil Exporting Nations ?

“I can see the drop in oil prices continuing in finitum, particularly when one considers the US now producing its own gas and oil in large commercial quantity through hydraulic fracturing – “fracking”. The US, and in the neatest future, Europe would not be depending on oil coming from the middle east, Africa, Russia and so many other countries in the world.

As a matter of fact, the US would also be exporting its own gas and oil, using the latest oil technology available to her. Besides, there are so many other energy alternatives available to the Europe and America.

Now the big question is what is going to happen to all the countries whose economies, export earnings and foreign exchange largely depend on oil?? My considered opinion is that so many of these countries whose economies are reliant on oil would be crashing so badly, if such countries have not invested itheir oil revenues in other diversified money yielding projects and programmes over the years.

Countries like Norway, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirate have been investing large chunks of of their oil revenue into prime commercial properties all over the world, world renowned banks and insurance companies, high flying international industries and in essential infrastructures within their respective countries over a period of so many years.

Some years ago, I read somewhere that Norway has been investing between 25% to 40% of its oil revenue in so many international income yielding portfolios all over the world every year for at least 40 years, and that it only relies on less than 10% of its GDP from oil revenue. Norway has the highest standard of living in the world. Lets compare Norway’s success story to Nigeria, the 6th or 7th largest oil producer in the world. Where Norway has been assiduously and wisely investing its oil revenue for the future, Nigeria and its political and business elites have been stealing and squandering the country’s oil wealth as if there is no tomorrow. Nigeria will certainly be repenting in misery, and not at leisure for wasting the black gold it had ample opportunities to use wisely!!”

This kind of feat will further expand the nation’s manufacturing sector.

Based on the minister, Nigeria has recently attained 60 to 70 per cent local content, while still targeting 100 per cent local content within the next few years. The brand new auto policy produced by President Jonathan’s administration would start to see the establishment of three vehicle manufacturing plants in the nation, including Lagos/Ibadan for the west, Kaduna/Kano for the north and Nnewi for the east.

Aganga said,

“It is special and historic to unveil the first made-in-Nigeria cars manufactured by the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company, Nnewi. No country manufactures 100 per cent of all the components and we are unveiling cars that have up to 70 per cent local content. Nnewi has made history. It’s another government milestone.”
