Overheard from TheGuardian UK

"They also had been warned that they (the kidnapped girls) would be brought back on Wednesday morning, according to Dapchi residents, and positioned themselves at the school they had been taken from, thinking that they would be dropped off there.

However, their kidnappers drove them into the centre of the village, close to the police station.

Neither the military nor the police attempted to apprehend the militants, who even stopped to change a tyre before leaving Dapchi, according to Mataba."

...AND I AM LIKE: Are you kidding me? Close to the Police Station...and the kidnappers even stopped to change a tyre? From the look of things they might have had the time to make tuwo shinkafa  for lunch! So much for the fight against terrorism.

Overheard from Lai: Another Lie

"The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has blamed the incessant clashes between farmers and herdsmen on environmental, rather than ethnic or religious issues, while assuring of the Federal Government’s commitment to finding a lasting solution to the clashes." - Vanguard, March 10,2018


AND I AM LIKE: Whether it is environmental or not, lives are being lost and those perpetrating this carnage are Fulani Herdsmen. They are not environmental herdsmen! To be sure, there are Igbo herdsmen, Yoruba herdsmen, Efik herdsmen who are also affected by this so-called environmental factors but they have not gone on rampage slaughtering people just to feed their cows Mr. Minister!
