Buhari to service chiefs: Hunt down Boko Haram in 3 months.

* Asks them to be accountable to Nigerians  By Levinus Nwabughiogu 
ABUJA — President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, charged the new service chiefs to synergize with other nation’s security apparatus and hunt down Boko Haram insurgents within the next three months.  The President said that would be the only way the new military helmsmen would justify the confidence reposed in them by his government.. In a brief but colourful swearing-in ceremony of the service chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, President Buhari noted that the activities of the insurgents have claimed many lives and destroyed the economic lives of the people.  His words: “I want to reiterate that your appointments and subsequent elevation to these ranks are based on your pedigree as first class senior officers who identify sterling leadership qualities. Therefore, I have no doubt in my mind that all of you are equal to the task ahead of you. You must acquaint yourselves and justify the honour done to you.

Cosby, she said, forced her to perform oral sex and afterward she felt like “a small animal that had been hit by a car.”

Naira drops to 224 as dollar demand rises

The naira dropped against the dollar at the parallel market on Tuesday driven by demand mainly from individuals travelling abroad for summer holidays and importers, traders said.

The local currency was quoted at 224 to the greenback at the black market, 0.89 per cent weaker than 222 it was sold on Monday, Reuters reported.

At the official interbank market, the naira closed at 197, a level it has been stuck at following the Central Bank of Nigeria’s peg on the exchange rate in February.

“We’ve seen a surge in dollar demand … since Friday,” a Nigerian Bureaux de Change operator, Harrison Owoh, said, adding that the CBN might sell dollars this week.

Owoh said the bank sold around $160m to BDCs last week to increase dollar supply.

BDCs are allowed to sell up to $4,000 as personal travelling allowance and $5,000 as business travelling allowance.

However, individuals sometimes buy above the stipulated dollar limit from the undocumented parallel market.

The naira had appreciated to 216 at the parallel market last week after banks stopped accepting hard currency cash deposits on CBN orders, fuelling excess dollar liquidity at the parallel market.

The central bank has also directed lenders to pay for dollars purchased at the official market 48 hours in advance, tightening naira liquidity.

By Levinus Nwabughiogu
ABUJA – President Mohammadu Buhari has said that Nigeria is erroneously being regarded as a rich country, stating that indices and parameters of evaluating a rich country such as economic advancement, improved social services were lacking.

Must Read! Good and bad critics

By Donu Kogbara
As I pointed out last week when I was writing about people who dislike President Muhammadu Buhari for various reasons – and will continue to dislike him even if he performs magnificently – no leader can please all of the people all of the time.
The same can also be said of smaller fries like newspaper columnists! And I’ve long been wearily resigned to the fact that no matter how reasonable I think I have been, there will always be Vanguard readers who either regard me as utterly unreasonable on every single level or simply reject some of my opinions.
The world would be very boring if we were all on the same page and totally agreed with each other at all times about every topic under the sun. And I     welcome differing viewpoints that are interesting, enlightening and educational.

Sophisticated weapons we acquired made us degrade B’Haram before polls —Dasuki

Dasuki Sambo

By Kingsley Omonobi
ABUJA — The immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), has revealed that  the acquisition of hitherto elusive weaponry in the last one year enabled the troops to have an upper hand against Boko Haram terrorists and the recovery of many local government areas that had been occupied by Boko Haram terrorists.
Sambo, whose homes in Abuja and Sokoto were invaded by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, in the week he left office named some of the deciding acquisitions to include Alpha jets, APCs, MRAP vehicles, advanced artillery pieces, assorted arms and ammunition, highly sophisticated surveillance drones, T-72 tanks and modified F7 supersonic jet fighters.

Jon Stewart Cries In Stephen Colbert’s Arms On His Last Show

 

Jon Stewart has now signed off from ‘The Daily Show’ for good. Before he did so, he left viewers with a celebrity-packed finale that will have everyone talking– and crying! Every correspondent from the show’s 16 years dropped by, and we even got a closing number from the boss himself, Bruce Springsteen!

Good night, Mr. Stewart. After manning The Daily Show desk for 18 seasons, Jon Stewart departed the Comedy Central show for good on Aug. 6. Audiences weren’t sure what to expect, as Jon didn’t announce any of the evening’s guest beforehand, but holy smokes he did not disappoint. Bruce Springsteen, Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert (!!!) stopped by, along with a ton of other celebs so huge, we almost went blind from the pure star wattage. Good luck living up to this, Trevor Noah! Check out a full recap!

Hearing those opening notes for what we know is Jon’s last show is so, so melancholic. Alas, we get to the laughs immediately– with talk of the first republican debate. “It was…incredible,” Jon said. “So articulate.” He makes it clear very quickly that the show will not sacrifice form just because it’s the last installment.
And with that, we head over to “Ohio,” with a post-debate wrap up from some republican “representatives.” It turns out, a lot of our favorite Daily Show correspondents from over the years have gone on to represent the likes of Jeb Bush and Chris Christie. Yup, Kristen Schaal, Samantha Bee, oh and Steve Carell (!!!) were all on hand to stand up for their favorite GOP contender.

Cultists kill night club staff over bill

By Chidi Nkwopara  OWERRI—A gang of hoodlums, Monday night, stormed a popular night club (names withheld) in World Bank Housing Estate, New Owerri, killing a staff for daring to challenge them over an unpaid bill.  While some of the customers described the gang as cultists, others believed they were armed robbers or assassins, who were out to even scores with their alleged enemies.  Vanguard gathered that the four-man armed gang stormed the night club, ate and drank to their fill but wanted to leave without paying their bill.  One of the customers of the night club, who spoke on grounds of anonymity, told Vanguard that the deceased stepped in as soon as it was clear that the gang had overpowered the bar man and wanted to leave without clearing their bill.  The customer said: “The boys were enraged when they realised that the deceased, Mr. Incredible, was not deterred when they fired several shots at the walls of the night club. They then shot him.”  Vanguard also gathered that police patrol teams arrived the scene as soon as they got the information, gave the fleeing hoodlums a chase and arrested two suspects.  The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the suspects were cooling their heels in police custody.  He said: “The command is still investigating, to know why the shooting took place as well as unmask those behind crime.”  He assured the public that as soon as police investigations were over, prosecuting the suspects would follow.  Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased had been deposited in the morgue, awaiting post-mortem examination and burial.

President, NASS intensify efforts on release of Chibok girls

Abuja—President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigerian lawmakers have promised to intensify their efforts to ensure the safe return of the Chibok Girls, U.S. Congress woman, Federica Wilson, has said.
Wilson, who represents the State of Florida in Congress, made the statement, yesterday, in Abuja while addressing members of the Bring Back Our Girls, BBOG, group.
She said it was part of the responsibilities of Nigerian lawmakers to advocate for the release of the Chibok girls.
She urged lawmakers especially from the North-East region to challenge the Federal Government and state governors on efforts being made to rescue the girls.
The congress woman also urged Nigerians to stand up for their rights by asking their elected representatives relevant questions that would encourage them to identify with and act fast in the struggle for the return of the girls.
Wilson added that it was also the duty of elected officials to cater for those who elected them in office.
“We need to say to them; this is a new day in Nigeria.
“You have a new president; you have a new House of Representatives and a new Senate.
“Believe me you have the power to put pressure on the people you elected to deliver to the people of Nigeria, to stamp out Boko Haram and find the Chibok girls,” she said.
