Reps in rowdy session over deployment of soldiers

Members of the House of Representatives were divided on Wednesday over the alleged deployment of 3,500 soldiers in Edo State by the Federal Government for Saturday’s governorship poll.
The development caused a delay in the proceedings for some minutes.

The session became rowdy when the majority Peoples Democratic Party members tried to shout down a member of the Action Congress of Nigeria who complained about the troop deployment.

The lawmaker, Mr. Bimbo Daramola from Ekiti State, had raised a matter of urgent public importance to draw the attention of the House to the troop deployment.

Daramola said since there was no war in Edo State, he could not understand the essence of deploying 3,500 soldiers for the election.

“This is a constitutional matter, Mr. Speaker,” he said, but was shouted down.
The Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, came to his aid by advising members to allow Daramola to make his point.

However, when the matter was put to vote, Daramola was defeated in a majority “nay” voice vote.
After the ruling, some members started shouting “PDP, power”, “PDP, power and for some minutes, the lawmakers became unruly.


# Na wa o! See the kind of reps we have. Quoting Linda's write up: "I see! How we ended up with clowns as 'rulers' still beats me!" #

Plateau Massacre: Christians must change to Islam or continue to die – Boko Haram

THE dreaded  Islamic sect, popularly  known as Boko Haram, had on Tuesday issued  a statement admitting that it was responsible  for the weekend massacre in Plateau state, stating that if Christians continue to remain adamant with their faith, they will continue to die.

It was reported that more than 100 people, mainly women and children were  killed in attacks on three communities in the Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas of the state between  Saturday and Sunday.

The militant group had thanked Allah for a successful attack launched on the Christian community in the state and stating further in the most earnest way  that they would not give up  on its continuous attack  launched against Christians and the government which it had tagged a jihad war already. It also asked “Christians in Nigeria to accept Islam” as a condition for a ceasefire.

It debunked the claim made by the new National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, that he had contact with the militant group, stating that it was only a” new lie” constructed to deceive Nigerians.

Okay, maybe not for Adele herself, but for the public. Unlike Jessica Simpson's very public gestation period, which was marked by Twitpics, nude Elle covers and absurd quotes for months on end.
