President Jonathan Re-assures Commitment to Ensure Secured Future For Nigerians, Promises A Free And Fair 2015 Elections!

Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan re-assured his commitment to work, to ensure a secured future for Nigerians. This was made during his 2015 New Year Broadcast to the nation. 

Reiterating events that characterized year 2014, Goodluck Jonathan said although Nigeria contended with the challenges of nation-building and terrorism, 2014 also brought further progress and fresh opportunities.
Regrettably, terrorists have unleashed much pain and agony on our land, they have made widows of our mothers and sisters, and orphans of our children.  
They have shut down businesses, desecrated places of worship, and brought untold hardship to both men and women. I want to assure you that the terrorists will not get away with their atrocities, they will not win. He said.

The President commended Nigerians who are vigilant and cooperative with the security agencies in the fight against terrorism, stating the government's commitment to strengthen the armed forces. "We are re-equipping and re-positioning our armed forces to enhance their capacity to win the on-going war against terror and insurgency".

He gave the assurance that the 2015 votes of all eligible voters in Nigeria will count, according to him, "Elections are very important for us as a country, their successful conclusion will further strengthen our democratic institutions, and place our beloved country even more firmly in the committee of truly democratic nations.

"Given the challenges that have characterized some previous electoral contests in our country,  the eyes of the world will certainly be on the conduct of the fifth post military rule general elections".  

"I reassure all Nigerian and international community of our firm commitment to free, fair and credible elections. let us put the nation and the people first, let us all conduct our electoral campaigns with the highest possible decorum and stability towards political opponents, lets us give INEC the fullest possible support and corporation it requires to conduct credible and violence free elections in 2015". he said.

President Jonathan in a firm note, warned that his administration will not tolerate what he called activities of some unpatriotic elements, who went on an orgy of violence after the 2011 free and fair elections, 

"This government will act decisively against anyone who Disrupts the Public Peace before, during or after the 2015 general elections. All Nigerians of voting age, are free to vote, based on their convictions it is our duty to defend and protect the basic rights, and let no man be in doubt. He said.

On Job creation and Physical Planing And Implementation As Captured In The 2015 Budget, the President said, "Being very conscious of our over reliance on income from crude oil export for national development,  we are focused on accelerating a diversification of our economy in non oil sector, which has grown by an average of 8% in the past few years, it is now a major driver of goods in our economy.

 The 2015 national budget which is now before the National Assembly, is targeted at deepening our effort at becoming a non -oil economy. The budget also includes measures to ensure that the down turn in the price of oil does not affect our development plans in our national economy too adversely". 

Goodluck Jonathan enjoined Nigerians to march to the future, towards the attainment of a collective vision of a strong, united, prosperous and harmonious nation.

Nigerians expect to see more of actions from this speech. 

Long Live the Federal Republic Of Nigeria.

How I Was Offered To Boko - Haram: Story Of A 13 Year-Old Suicide Bomber!

The female suicide bomber, arrested after a failed attempt to detonate bomb wrapped on her, recently gave an account on how  she was handed over to suspected Boko Haram jihadists, by her father.

The who 13-year-old, identified as Zahharau Babangida, told journalists at the Kano Police Headquarters, that she and the other girls were trained in a bush by heavily armed men who had indoctrinated her and others to carry out mass killings. 

According to her, the men threatened to bury them alive if they turned down the mission.

Six persons, including the two of her associates, reportedly died in the attack at Kano's Kwari textile market, while seven others were injured, police said at the time.

Zahharau, a native of Damaturu in Yobe State, said she and her family lived in Kano for years before she and her mother were handed over to men in the bush by her father, to people whom she described as being of different tribes and races, including both black and Arabs. She said these men constantly preached to her and the other girls about suicide missions.

When the trainers thought they girls were ready for the job, the other young girls were reportedly sent to Kano directly from the training location, while Zahharau and two of the girls were dropped at Kwari market by their guide who left them there.

Her story below:

"I was in the bush when the people some who looks like Arabs and some huge black men told me that did I know what is suicide mission, that is one killing himself? I said no I don't know, they explained it to me and said that if I did plus reciting Sura Albakara I will straight go to Paradise," Zahharau narrated.

"I declined and told them I will not do it, they now told me that they would dig a hole and bury me alive because that is what they do to all women who refuse to adhere to their demands, and they said they meant what they said, I now complied,".

"When we entered the market one among the three of us said, 'ok let's detonate the bombs but we should separate ourselves," she narrated. "I still refused to follow them but because I was close to them when they blew up themselves I was injured and I quickly came to the road where I got Keke (tricycle used for transportation) and asked him to take me to Dawanau (where she lived with her family).

Narrating in Hausa language, Zahharau stated that when she arrived at Dawanau, she located her house but said her female neighbours refused to accommodate her because their husbands were not at home.

She continued to bleed from her wounds, a condition which prompted the man who rode her on Keke, to asked if there was anybody to take her to hospital.

"I was now taken to the hospital... and after arriving there the doctors were treating me when the Keke man quickly came in and asked me who was the owner of the bomb in his Keke, I said I owned it. That was how security personnel were invited and I was taken away. She said.

Confirming the incident, Kano Police Commissioner, Aderele Shinaba, alongside the Director State Security Service, SSS, Bassey Itang, said the girls arrived at the busy market pretending to be buyers of textile materials before detonating their explosives. Although he did not say what has happened to the girls's father, he noted that the arrest of the teenager with one of her guides, now in police custody, was a great success because it led the police to other findings.
