Airforce Disrupts Boko Haram Meeting Destroys Creating

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) stated yesterday that it destroyed a developing in which Boko Haram insurgents have been working with for a meeting. In a video obtained by LEADERSHIP Sunday, the blue roof creating in which the insurgents converged for the meeting was entirely destroyed though some of the insurgents were killed through the air bombardment. According to the Nigerian Airforce, the operation was part of the closing stages of Operation RUWAN WUTA II. Consequently, a NAF fighter aircraft was scrambled to attack the developing. Subsequent Battle Harm Assessment revealed that the constructing and its occupants had been neutralized as a outcome of the air strike," the statement said.


She stated her teacher told her she has a knack for storytelling and that her future lay in story directing. She heeded his advice. Last year’s most significant box workplace success in Nigeria was a movie she directed, The Wedding Party. According to Adetiba, "The whole movie was shot in a hall in Eko hotel.france24.comyohaig.ng</a> Nigerian weddings are about the families and not the couple in isolation. So, when you have crazy families coming together, anything just hits the fans. Coming from a music video background had its effect on her first movie. Omope mentioned, "It is the imagination of ladies that brings these stories to bear because they know the obvious stories that naturally come via.


What Nollywood requires now is diversity of stories, ambition and interpretation. Now, Omope is sold on female-centred character delineation, as he is directing his latest film, Market Should Sell, which has 4 female protagonists. It is generally about a lady who has been ordered by her aunt to discover a husband in the next wedding element they would attend. It’s about the issues individuals go via, the stress to get married at a specific age. Yet another female movie producer, Isioma Osaje, who also runs a thriving talent agency, argued that women have a tendency to inform stories with a lot additional heart, adding, "We live our lives having to have an understanding of everyone else.


Stories told and shot by ladies tend to be additional encompassing and realistic than when a man views the world it makes them special. We will need a lot more girls functioning behind the scenes in director positions. Even the editors I undoubtedly will encourage additional girls to come in. Heading up North Nigeria, where Nollywood productions are not as common as a result of language barrier, with a life style that is various, the film medium has confirmed to be equally as vital to women even in a conservative society. Mass Communication lecturer at Ahmadu bellow University (ABU), Zaria, Prof. Sandra Adamu, mentioned "Yes, it is because girls are in pudah, they are restricted.


We do not have soap operas like in other countries. So, what they do is, they watch films, satellite, DVD players. Adamu, who is a trained filmmaker in Los Angeles, U.S., could not practise what she studied, when she returned residence. She discovered that her profession hopes have been not going to be simple. As she place it, "A friend told me, ‘you want to carry camera on the street? So, I restricted my filmmaking career to the classroom! Adamu has hopes to raise yet another generation of filmmakers, who she would serve as an inspiration. They want to be like me but can they do it?


Put on a veil and carry a camera on the street in this conservative location, exactly where I come from? It is nevertheless a man’s world they call the shots but for those students doing film, well, they are still in the university. She cited the example of one of her students, who wanted to turn into a cinematographer, saying, "I have a girl, who is superior. I groomed her to be a cinematographer she is also a superior actor. She is intelligent and can write scripts. She told me she wanted to be a director, but straight away she got married, the husband did not want to hear something about film.


So, she is at dwelling. I do visit her and see her with 3, 4 kids. She cannot do anything. I do not know if we can alter the society. Remi Von Vaughan Richards is yet another filmmaker, who is not afraid to tackle sensitive troubles such as kid marriage and women’s sexual wellness. Her 2016 film, Unspoken, see two yellow cabs racing down the streets of Lagos, each carrying a young girl to the regional government hospital. A single is an 11 years old Hausa Muslim from the North, who has come to Lagos, as a youngster bride to be married to a man 30 years older than her.


They tell her ‘no much more school, male friends nor acting like a child’ even even though she is still a kid. The other is a precocious 13-year old from the South, who gets pregnant and ends up having a back street abortion that goes wrong. The film was taken on tour all over the country to the remotest components of the most conservative North. The response, according to Richards, was encouraging, adding, "The imams in those regions have been so delighted they gave us presents and thanked us for taking the film to their communities. It was received seriously nicely and there have been a group of young Northerners, about 12, 13, who had babies with them. They asked us, soon after the movie was shown, ‘so, what age must we allow our young children marry?


We told them to let them finish school before they got married. Oshin, who mentored Adeola Oshikojo, said she met her fresh out of film school. Right now, she is a single of the major lights out of the young crop of women, who are directors in Nollywood. One of Oshikojo’s functions, Help, My Wife is Pregnant, is about two characters from unique tribes - Emeka, who is Igbo and Kofo, who is Yoruba. Oshikojo stated, "When individuals from diverse tribes marry, there is often a lot of ups and downs. One of the challenges with Nigeria and Africa in general is that we usually have a lot of tribal uprisings. In concluding the incisive programme, Oshin said, "I am glad that a lot of girls following in Amaka Igwe’s footsteps are striving to transform the planet and to make Nigeria a far better spot via their films. It excites me to believe what excellent strides our homegrown directors will make in the years to come.


The Speaker, Property of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, says the Nigerian economy is on the path of growth going by the successes recorded in the implementation of the economic recovery and growth strategy. Dogara mentioned this on Monday at a Summit on Legislative Framework for Financial Recovery and Sustainable Development, organised by the Home of Representatives Ad hoc Committee on Economic Recession in Abuja. He said the Home in pursuance of its constitutional responsibility had been weighing in to partner with the executive to provide vital legislative assistance for the implementation of the economic recovery program. In January 2017, President Muhammadu Buhari launched the Economic Recovery and Development Plan targeted at improving agriculture, infrastructure, energy, transportation to serve as the necessary foundation for industrialisation and productivity. The strategy also consists of heavy social investment plan, safety plan and the fight against corruption.


The outcome of this collaboration with the Executive is evident in the reality that our nation is firmly on the path of financial development and progress,’’ Dogara said. He noted that the theme of the summit: "Legislative Framework for Economic Recovery and Sustainable Development," was apt in view of the present status of the nation’s economic recovery trajectory. With Nigeria’s economy taking a turn for very good, as confirmed by the Globe Bank and NBS Data, which showed that the GDP development price moved from unfavorable to constructive (hence technically ending the recession). Dogara mentioned, having said that, that the terminal date of a recession was generally no cheering news for households as the traumatic effects of a recession normally final far additional than the duration of an economic downturn.


It is vital to note that unemployment remains high, though poverty and inequality continue to take their toll on our challenging working but beleaguered individuals. Troubles of exchange price stability higher inflation price, inadequate fiscal response, have also improved the nation’s misery index to about 56 per cent which is spectacularly dismal. For most of our families, the scenario has been pathetic. In the face of this grim reality, no accountable and proactive parliament, certainly, no Institution of democracy would fold its hands and appear the other way as intense poverty and misery hold the knives out for our citizens. Consequently, we have no option but to craft a viable legal framework upon which sustainable financial development and progress can be constructed. Hence, the most vital function for democracy now is eliminating extreme poverty and expanding financial possibilities for all.


This is a fight Government alone can not win in reality no Government has ever won this fight. It is the private sector that normally wins the fight. Our citizens and certainly all democratic Institutions will have to stand up and be counted. For us in the Parliament, today’s event is anticipated to serve as our modest contribution to this noble fight for democracy and progress,’’ he stated. Dogara stated that the summit will afford policy makers, members of parliament at each federal and state levels, captains of market, the academia, organised labour, civil society and non-governmental organisations to interface in tackling infrastructural challenges.


He added that it would also proffer lasting options to the socio-economic and infrastructural challenges facing the nation. It is further hoped that the summit will result in recommendation of a legislative framework that will promote transparency, provide robust governance solutions and clearly define roles. It will also provide a standardised and acceptable framework for monetary management, effective regulatory framework and maximize the potentials of various policy strategies that will positively promote the realisation of sustainable economic improvement,’’ Dogara mentioned. The Chairman of the Ad hoc Committee, Rep. Bode Ayoride (Ondo-APC), in his presentation, expressed concern that Nigeria was the seventh most populous nation in the globe, behind China, India, USA, Indonesia, Brazil and Pakistan.


So we now know. President Muhammadu Buhari has favoured the south above the north in his 157 appointments considering the fact that he was sworn in on May 29, 2015. He has appointed 82 southerners and 75 northerners. Who would have believed that? To make matters worse, or is it better, he has appointed far more individuals from the south-east, the bastion of opposition to his government, than the north-central. Even additional than the south-south, exactly where the oil is. Now you cannot make that up. The south-west actually took the lion’s share with 40 appointees. Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo comes from that geopolitical zone, just you know.


And Ogun state has the highest quantity of appointees — 21. That’s additional than 50% of south-west appointees. Again, Osinbajo is from Ogun state. Osinbajo’s accusers need to be sharpening their knives now, soon after the furore generated by what he did, or was accused of performing, as acting president in the absence of Buhari. But that would not be fair.britannica.comyohaig.ng</a> Soon after all, Buhari’s ideal-hand man, Ibikunle Amosun, is the governor of Ogun state and he gets virtually all his nominees appointed by Buhari. But is Maryam Uwais, the specific adviser on social investment who works in the office of the vice-president, basically from the north-central as stated in the list?


Except she has carried out modify of state, TheCable can confirm that she is from Kano state, which is in the north-west (barring any final-minute alterations). Even her husband, Mohammed Uwais, former chief justice of Nigeria, is from Kaduna state — at least in his official documents. There is no re-enactment of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala right here, who although is from Delta state, was nominated in 2003 as minister from Abia state exactly where her husband comes from. No, both Maryam and Mohammed are from the north-west. Yet another error: Mohammed Babandede, the immigration boss, is from the north-west (Jigawa) and not north-central, as listed. Then there is error quantity 3 as a result — the north-west has 32 not 30. That leaves the north-central with 19, not 21. With 19, north-central has the lowest. We at TheCable are generously assuming that there is no other misalignment of names and zones.


We virtually missed some thing although. The north-west is where the president comes from — so 32 appointees is not undesirable. That is subsequent only to the south-west. Katsina’s 14 appointees are not that little as well it’s the president’s household state. Only Ogun’s 21, Kano’s 16 and Imo’s 15 are far better. Adjusted, Kano’s figure rises to 16 to accommodate Uwais. We nevertheless do not know the north-central states allocated to Uwais and Babandede so that we can adjust accordingly. The list also has numbering errors. It provides the impression that there are 159 names. These who love to do arithmetic could have been at a loss as the numbers did not tally.

All additions ended up at 157, no matter your mathematical ability. Some may well have wished Chike Obi, eminent professor of mathematics, had been alive to help them sort out the confusion. No, there was no require to invoke Obi’s genius.theguardian.comyohaig.ng</a> Two serial numbers have been marginalised — No. 118 and No. 151. They are missing in action. So it is a list of 157, not 159, appointees. Having said that, arguments could now shift to headship of "grade A" or "juicy" ministries, agencies and departments with huge budgets and patronage which some commentators allege favour the north. Now we have no way of figuring that out. And it’s a complicated argument to pursue. Presidency released the list in reaction to the allegations of lopsidedness, with a report suggesting 81 out of one hundred appointees are from the north. Not true, as statistics have shown.


The newly elected executives of the People’s Democratic Celebration in Ogun state on Monday took over the secretariat of the party situated along President Boulevard, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta. The new executives were elected on Saturday throughout the state congress conducted by the electoral committee led by Mr. Eddy Olafeso, who is the Chairman ofthe South-West zone of the party. The new PDP executves were also joined by ex-regional government chairmen amongst other prominent party leaders in the state though operatives of the special anti-robbery squad provided safety. If you can try to remember vividly, I have mentioned that at the appropriate time, safety operatives will do their job and the take over of the secretariat will be taken care of.
