Defence Minister insists no Nigerian territory under Boko Haram’s grip

By
The newly appointed Nigerian Minister of Defence, Monsur Dan-Ali, has assumed office; promising that his leadership will be anchored on honesty and integrity.
Dan-Ali said the major fight against insurgency has been won; although it’s not yet over.

Contrary to the remarks by the Borno state governor, the Defence Minister stressed that no Nigerian territory is under the control of Boko Haram.
He explained that the recent attacks by insurgents were launched from locations outside the Nigerian territory.
Boko Haram has ramped up cross-border attacks into Niger, Chad and Cameroon from its strongholds in northeastern Nigeria in recent months.
A long-awaited 8,700-troop-strong regional task force is set to begin joint operations soon against the Islamist fighters when the region’s rainy season ends, a top United Nations official said late last month.

Do you think Akpors beat the American?

By
Akpors was having a snack of BREAD and JAM when an American, and chewing GUM, sits down next to him. He ignores the American who, nevertheless, starts a conversation. AMERICAN: You African folks eat the whole bread? AKPORS: (in a bad mood) Of course. AMERICAN: We don’t. In the States, we only eat what’s inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants and export them to Africa. The American has a smirk on his face. Akpors listens in silence. The American persists, AMERICAN: “Ya eat jelly with the bread? AKPORS: Of Course. AMERICAN: We don’t. In the States, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and export them to Africa.
