Boko Haram: Some soldiers refuse to fight, demand better equipment

Boko Haram: Some soldiers refuse to fight, demand better equipment

About 40 Nigerian soldiers are reported to have refused orders from their superior to move to the North to fight Boko Haram, saying they will only obey the order if they are provided with better equipment.
 
One of the mutineers who spoke anonymously with BBC Hausa said lack of good weapons and ammunition to fight the terror group is why a lot of soldiers get slaughtered by the insurgents, adding that the Nigerian army is not ready to fight Boko Haram
“Soldiers are dying like fowl. The Nigerian army is not ready to fight Boko Haram. Boko Haram are inside the bush, everywhere. They (senior commanders) are sacrificing soldiers" he said. Continue...
The mutineer also stated that the armored cars they are expected to use in battle are old and outdated.


He said he could not be court marshaled by his superior for taking part in the mutiny because only soldiers who decline to take part in wars are court-marshaled, stating that he and his other colleagues are not declining to go to war but are only asking for better equipments before they go to war.
"I joined the army to defend my country but you cannot defend it without being equipped to do so" he said

US Ebola patient Dr. Kent Brantly speaks out - read his statement

US Ebola patient Dr. Kent Brantly speaks out - read his statement

Dr. Kent Brantly, one of the two US doctors who contracted the Ebola virus in Liberia, has spoken out for the first time. He released a statement from his isolation room at Emory University in Atlanta where he's being treated after he was flown out of Liberia last week. He is the first Ebola patient to receive experimental serum, ZMapp. Below is the statement Brantly released to the media yesterday
“I am writing this update from my isolation room at Emory University Hospital, where the doctors and nurses are providing the very best care possible. I am growing stronger every day, and I thank God for His mercy as I have wrestled with this terrible disease. I also want to extend my deep and sincere thanks to all of you who have been praying for my recovery as well as for Nancy and for the people of Liberia and West Africa.
“My wife Amber and I, along with our two children, did not move to Liberia for the specific purpose of fighting Ebola. We went to Liberia because we believe God called us to serve Him at ELWA Hospital." Continue...
 “One thing I have learned is that following God often leads us to unexpected places. When Ebola spread into Liberia, my usual hospital work turned more and more toward treating the increasing number of Ebola patients. I held the hands of countless individuals as this terrible disease took their lives away from them. I witnessed the horror first-hand, and I can still remember every face and name.
“When I started feeling ill on that Wednesday morning, I immediately isolated myself until the test confirmed my diagnosis three days later. When the result was positive, I remember a deep sense of peace that was beyond all understanding. God was reminding me of what He had taught me years ago, that He will give me everything I need to be faithful to Him.
“Now it is two weeks later, and I am in a totally different setting. My focus, however, remains the same - to follow God. As you continue to pray for Nancy and me, yes, please pray for our recovery. More importantly, pray that we would be faithful to God’s call on our lives in these new circumstances.”

ISIS threatens US with war after airstrikes, tweet photos of dead US soldiers, vow to blow up US embassies

ISIS threatens US with war after airstrikes, tweet photos of dead US soldiers, vow to blow up US embassies

Few hours after the US launched devastating 'targeted airstrikes' on Islamist militants ISIS, who have seized many towns in Iraq and are killing non-Muslims, the Jihadist group has vowed to 'raise their flag at the White House". 

Some members and supporters of the terrorist group took to twitter yesterday to threaten the US with war. They tweeted gruesome pics of dead American soldiers from the previous war in the country, U.S. marines hung from bridges in Fallujah, decapitated men, human heads on spikes, and pics from the deadly attack on US on 9/11. They also vowed to blow up US embassies.

With the hashtag #AmessagefromISIStoUS, over 2000 threatening tweets were posted on Twitter. One member wrote "This is a message is for every American citizen. You are the target of every Muslim in the world wherever you are.'. Another one wrote "ready to cut your heads dear Americans O sons of bitches. Come quickly.'

Reacting, a US military official said ISIS is yet to know the full power of the US military force and will soon find out what they are capable of. Continue to see more tweets...

Singer Omarion shares adorable pics of himself & his new born son

R&B singer Omarion and his girlfriend Apryl Jones welcomed their first child together yesterday 7th August. The first time dad shared these adorable pics of himself with his new born son, Megaa Omari Grandberry. In one of the pics, Omarion wrote;
"God is the realist! I witnessed a miracle. My soul mate Apryl is so strong! Not only did she have a un medicated birth (no drugs) she did it at home. Naturally. Just like my mom had me. I love you. thank you for having my legacy. I'll forever belong to you and you will forever be tied to me. Creating a child takes no love or skill but being a parent requires lots of both. Thanks for watching me grow"
I don't know what I like to see more...hot dudes or new born babies. I think the latter...:-)



GEJ declares national emergency on Ebola, approves N1.9b special intervention fund

GEJ declares national emergency on Ebola, approves N1.9b special intervention fund

Below is the State House press release...
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Friday in Abuja declared the control and containment of the Ebola virus in Nigeria, a National Emergency.

Accordingly, the President has directed the Federal Ministry of Health to work in collaboration with the State Ministries of Health, the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and other relevant agencies to ensure that all possible steps are taken to effectively contain the threat of the Ebola virus  in line with international protocols and best practices. Continue...


President Jonathan also approved a Special Intervention Plan and the immediate release of N1. 9 billion for its implementation, to further strengthen on-going steps to contain the virus such as the establishment of additional isolation centres, case management, contact tracing, deployment of additional personnel, screening at borders, and the procurement of required items and facilities.


The President commends the vigilance of  aviation and health authorities in Lagos who identified and isolated the index case in Nigeria, the late Patrick Sawyer, an American-Liberian who flew into the country.


He also applauds the good work of health authorities at both State and Federal levels who have traced persons who had contact with him, isolated  other identified cases and embarked on massive public enlightenment.


President Jonathan calls for even greater vigilance and co-operation at all levels to stop the Ebola virus from spreading further.


As the effective implementation of the Federal Government's Special Intervention Plan will require other stakeholders to take certain precautionary steps that are supportive of the government’s initiative, the President calls on members of the public to follow all directives by health authorities and report any suspected Ebola case to the nearest health facility for immediate medical attention.  


He also enjoins the public to desist from spreading false information about  Ebola  which can lead to mass hysteria, panic and misdirection, including unverified suggestions about the prevention, treatment, cure and spread of the virus.  


President Jonathan urges that the movement of corpses from one community to the other, and from overseas into the country should be stopped forthwith. Every death should be reported to the relevant authorities, and special precautions should be taken in handling corpses.


Religious and political groups, spiritual healing centres, families, associations and other bodies should, in the meantime, discourage gatherings and activities that may unwittingly promote close contact with infected persons or place others at risk.


Public enlightenment agencies, including privately-owned media organs should support government’s efforts and disseminate correct information in all Nigerian languages, about preventive personal hygiene measures, the nature of the Ebola virus, modes of transmission and consequential steps to be taken in the event of infection.  


President Jonathan appeals to State governments and private day care, nursery, primary and secondary schools owners to consider the option of extending the current school holiday until such a time when a national reassessment of the level of the Ebola threat is conducted.  


The President further directs the National Emergency Management Agency and similar agencies at the state level to strengthen their public enlightenment campaigns and to use their networks to distribute hand sanitisers and other protective items nationwide. He has also directed the aviation and health authorities to embark on immediate intensification of the screening of travelers at all the nation’s borders.


President Jonathan reassures everyone that the Government of Nigeria will continue to take every step, deploy all resources, and mobilize every support and assistance to check the spread of Ebola in the country.


Medical workers and other health professionals are expected to regard this declaration of a National Emergency as a patriotic call to duty and service.

Special Adviser to the President
