Army General says Nigerians should be allowed to carry arms to defend themselves against Boko Haram
Mr. Ibrahim, a Brigadier General, made the call in Sokoto while addressing the Brigade's 2014 Officers Training Day.
According to him, this is being practiced in developed nations of the world.
Mr. Ibrahim listed other measures needed to defeat Boko Haram to include strict monitoring and severe restriction on the importation of certain goods being used to aid and abet such crimes.
He stated that such goods included motorcycles.
"It has been proved that a good number of the insurgents use them (motorcycles) for their attacks," he said.
"A good number of those selling petty things by the roadside in most of the nation's cities are simply easy preys in the hands of these insurgents."
What do you think?

Sanusi sues Jonathan, challenges suspension
In the application filed on his behalf by his lawyer, Kola Awodein, SAN, Sanusi is asking the court to restrain the President, the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police from giving effect to his purported suspension from office as the Governor of the CBN, pending the determination of the suit.
He is equally asking the court to make an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the defendants "from obstructing, disturbing, stopping or preventing him, in any manner whatsoever, from performing the functions of his office as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and enjoying in full, the statutory powers and privileges attached to the office."
Urging the court to expeditiously grant his interlocutory application, Sanusi maintained that any delay might cause irreparable and serious damage and mischief on him in the exercise of his statutory duties as the CBN Governor.
He said, "The President's continuing unlawful interference with the management and administration of the apex bank, unless arrested, poses grave danger for Nigeria's economy."
He insisted that the danger his suspension posed to the economy was enough reason for the court to grant his application and as a result make an order for status quo ante bellum to enable him to return to his office as the Governor of the CBN.
In an affidavit deposed in support of the suit, Sanusi linked his suspension to the discrepancies he reported in the remittances of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to the Federation Account.
He explained that in the course of his duties as the CBN Governor, he uncovered certain discrepancies in respect of amounts repatriated to the Federation Account from the proceeds of crude oil sales between the period of January 2012 and July 2013.
He added that he expressed concern in respect of the said discrepancies and also informed the National Assembly of same "because they affect the revenue of the federation and the national economy."
Sanusi added that in purporting to suspend him from office, Jonathan was punishing him for the disclosures he made.
Sanusi stressed that the President did not approach nor obtain the support of the Senate before suspending him.
He disclosed that some Senators, particularly former governor of Kwara State, Senator Bukola Saraki, had informed him that Jonathan did not consult the upper legislative chamber before taking the action.
"I have been informed, and I verily believe the information given to me by Senator Bukola Saraki to be true and correct that the Senate did not give the President any support for my purported suspension and removal from office as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria," he said.
DvNsports: Inter Milan target Mikel Obi
Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Walter Mazzari has sent his main scout to monitor the Nigerian whose contract at Stamford Bridge lasts till 2017.
Mikel has seen his Chelsea place come under threat with the arrival of Nemanja Matic in January and has also been curtailed by minor injuries.
Rated at 15 million Euros, the prize could be too high for the San Siro club who are also mauling a loan move in the summer transfer window.
Inter will also wait to see if Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has an interest in signing any Inter player which could result in Mikel being thrown into the negotiations.
Mikel is expected to lead Nigeria's charge at the World Cup in June and an impressive performance with the Super Eagles would shoot up his profile and asking fees.

Gunmen abducts President Jonathan's cousin in Bayelsa
The victim aged 70 was kidnapped at about 9pm by ten heavily armed men. The kidnapped Chief is described as the traditional head of the compound from which the President hails from, according to a community source.
"Nitabai is the cousin of President Goodluck Jonathan, and was kidnapped from his compound located before Otuoke bridge, off Otu-Okpoti-Ogbia Road without a gunshot," the source said.
It was further learnt that Nitabai has been acting like a father to the President since Jonathan's real biological father died.
The victim, his wife and his wife's sister and three of his children were in the house when the assailants stormed the compound.
The victim's wife sister, 37-year-old Akinobebh Jin, said Silas, one of the sons of the victim first sighted the criminals and raised the alarm.
"We came back from somewhere around 8pm. Silas was at the verandah doing his assignment while my in-law, my sister and two other siblings were in the living room together.
"After sometimes, Silas came shouting and saying that some people had just entered into the compound. As we sprang on our feet, we were confused because we didn't know where to run to."
A security source told Vanguard that the chief's vehicle was later recovered at Onuegbum community waterfront where it was abandoned, an indication that they gunmen might have made away with their victim through the creek.
The incident, it was learnt, provoked heavy security presence in the community which is also host to the Federal University.
The Deputy Commander of the Joint Task force codenamed Operation Pulo Shield, Commodore Ime Ekpa and team of security agents were said to have visited the location to assess the crime scene.
The state police public relations officer, Mr. Alex Akhigbe confirmed the incident. He said the police report showed that the abducted community leader had made a report at the Kolo Police Station on the illegal sale of his land by some unidentified persons.
"We have identified those involved and are on their trail. One of the suspect is in our custody. The vehicle also has been recovered. I cannot establish the relationship between the abducted Chief and Mr. President
"Investigation is in progress to unmask the kidnappers and rescue the victim," he said.
FG still open to dialogue with Boko Haram - President Jonathan
The president stated this in Abuja on Monday when he declared open an International seminar on the Observance of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law in Internal Security Operations.
The seminar which held at the National Defence College, was co-hosted by the Offices of the Attorney-General of the Federation (A-GF) and the National Security Adviser (NSA).
Jonathan called on members of the sect to lay down their arms and table their grievances, if any, before government.
He, however, clarified that while waiting for the response from the sect, the military operations in the troubled areas would continue to safeguard lives and property.
"Our administration has committed tremendous resources and adopted several approaches to prosecuting the fight against terror in Nigeria.
"The declaration of a state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states is one of the measures taken to contain the activities of the terrorists.
"The National Committee on Peace and Dialogue in the Northern parts of the country was constituted to explore ways of dialoguing with the Boko Haram sect with a view to addressing their grievances, if any.
"I wish to use this platform to renew my previous call to members of the sect to lay down their arms and engage government in a constructive manner in order to address their grievances, if truly they have any reason to do what they are doing.
"However, while we are awaiting a positive response from the Boko Haram sect, it is important to note that government has the responsibility to protect the lives and property of our citizens.
"No efforts will be spared by this administration in discharging that responsibility."
The president commended the organisers of the seminar with the theme "Engendering Greater Understanding of the Legal Underpinning of Internal Security Operations".

Justin Bieber relocates to Atlanta, Residents protest he is bad for their kids
Residents in the uber-exclusive area of Buckhead where Bieber is renting a house from rap mogul Dallas Austin are asking protesters to show up at 6 AM ET and it looks like lots of people will be there.
More than 200 people say they're gong after signing a petition which reads, "We have worked hard to achieve our goals and get where we are. Justin Bieber's relocation to Atlanta can be nothing but bad for our children."
The petition goes on, "Some can't even let their child play in the driveway without fear; he has raced vehicles under the influence before. What's to say he won't do it again?"
And the end is great: "Please don't allow a child to ruin what we have worked so hard to obtain."
Boko Haram: Nigeria seals border with Cameroon
The closure has been imposed in Adamawa state, one of three states in the northeast placed under emergency rule in May.
The military has launched a major offensive in the area aimed at crushing the Islamist uprising, which has killed thousands since 2009.
Nigeria claims that the Islamists have set up bases in sparsely populated areas of its northeastern neighbours - Cameroon, Chad and Niger - and flee across the border after staging attacks to avoid military pursuit.
"What I did was completely seal off the borders, no going in, no going out," said Brigadier General Rogers Iben Nicholas, the top military commander in Adamawa.
He said the measure had been in place since Monday and that it has already curtailed "the influx of miscreants (and) terrorist elements" into Nigeria.
"Other security agencies like the customs, immigration services, have been told. Our soldiers and police are also there working together to ensure that nothing crosses into Nigeria," Nicholas said.
Adamawa has been less hit by violence than the other affected states, Borno and Yobe, but it is thought to provide key transport routes for the insurgents.
Despite the state of emergency, Boko Haram has continued to carry out attacks in the northeast, with more than 300 people killed already this year.

Mother burns 11-yr-old daughter's buttocks with hot knife for being 'stubborn'
The girl narrated to Sunday Vanguard that, on February 17, she left home at Eneyo village in Akpabuyo Local Government Area for the Maternity Junction Settlement, some four kilometers away from home, to meet her cousin, one Blessing, but did not return home. "We were waiting for Blessing's friend from whom she wanted to collect something but she delayed in coming and we waited till night and, because we were afraid of going back home, we slept in an uncompleted building at the Maternity Junction", she said.
The 11-year-old said the next day, one of her friends saw her at the Maternity Junction and told her that her mother was looking for her with a machete after which she became afraid to go back home. "We stayed on the road near our house and were breaking kernel to eat when my mother sent somebody to come and catch us. That person came pretending to play with us but suddenly grabbed me and dragged me to my mother".
The mother, angry, allegedly got hold of her and used a rod to hit her all over her body, thus
leaving her with severe wounds.
"She also put the kitchen knife
in the fire she was cooking and when it was hot, she placed it
on my buttocks", the girl
stated.
When Sunday Vanguard met Mrs
Ene Okon at the Akim Police
Station, she appeared
remorseful, stating that she
was driven by anger because
Queeneth was stubborn and had formed the habit of spending the
night outside at such a tender
age. "I sent her to school in
far away Calabar because I
don't trust the school here in
Akpabuyo but she is just too stubborn, so I had to teach her
a lesson."
Mr Hogan Bassey, the police
spokesman for Cross River Police
Command, said the woman would
appear in court after investigations are concluded.
Mr Bassey Ibor, a child rights activist, said children's courts in the state are not functioning and called on the state government to fund the courts. "The cases we have taken to the children's courts have suffered long adjournments because the judges are not sitting. Government should, as a matter of urgency, ensure that the courts are funded so that these children would not continue to be denied of justice."

However, immediately Oguntayo left the house, the suspect bolted the door and pounced on the innocent daughter.
Luck, however, ran out on him as the father of the victim discovered that he had no money on him and decided to rush back to the house. But he met his door firmly locked from behind.
He reportedly knocked severally and all he could hear from the room was the screaming by his daughter.
Oguntayo forced the door open only to meet his colleague defiling his daughter following which he raised an alarm.
Attempt by the suspect to escape was thwarted as neighbours arrested and took him to the Okuta Elerinla police station.
Contacted, Ogodo said the suspect and the father of the victim were employees of the FRSC in the state.

Senator Yarima, 29 others charged with attempted murder, robbery
Yarima, a former governor of Zamfara, was arraigned in the court by the Inspector-General of Police on an eight-count charge of armed robbery, conspiracy and attempt to commit murder, among others.
Yarima appeared before Justice Bello Gummi of the High Court along with the 29 co-accused persons.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Yarima was arraigned in the court by the IGP, following petitions by a serving member of the House of Representatives, representing Gusau/Tsafe Federal Constituency, Ibrahim Shehu.
The senator was alleged to have conspired with other accused persons to kill the Shehu on the Aug. 22, 2013.
The complainant also alleged that during the attack on him, the sum of N10 million was removed from his car.
However, the lead defence counsel, Mr Muhammad Katu, observed the prosecution should have cited the charges on separate sheets of paper to avoid duplication and complications.
This forced the judge to adjourn the sitting for about three hours.
On return, Gummi ruled that the case was properly filed and ordered for the continuation of the case.
Both the prosecution and defence counsel, Mr Oloye Torugbene and Katu, respectively, however, applied for an adjournment.
The judge adjourned the case to April 8 when the pleas of the accused would be taken by the court.

President Jonathan suspends Lamido Sanusi as CBN governor, appoints acting CBN governor
This was made known in a statement signed Thursday by Reuben Abati Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity.
The statement reads thus;
Having taken special notice of reports of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and other investigating bodies, which indicate clearly that Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's tenure has been characterized by various acts of financial recklessness and misconduct which are inconsistent with the administration's vision of a Central Bank propelled by the core values of focused economic management, prudence, transparency and financial discipline;
Being also deeply concerned about far-reaching irregularities under Mallam Sanusi's watch which have distracted the Central Bank away from the pursuit and achievement of its statutory mandate; and
Being determined to urgently re-position the Central Bank of Nigeria for greater efficiency, respect for due process and accountability, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has ordered the immediate suspension of Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi from the Office of Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
President Jonathan has further ordered that Mallam Sanusi should hand over to the most senior Deputy Governor of the CBN, Dr Sarah Alade who will serve as Acting Governor until the conclusion of on-going investigations into breaches of enabling laws, due process and mandate of the CBN.
The President expects that as Acting Governor of the Central Bank, Dr. Alade will focus on the core mandate of the Bank and conduct its affairs with greater professionalism, prudence and propriety to restore domestic and international confidence in the country's apex bank.
The Federal Government of Nigeria reassures all stakeholders in Nigeria's financial and monetary system that this decision has been taken in absolute good faith, in the overall interest of the Nigerian economy and in accordance with our laws and due process.

Karen Igho says she is now free from cancer
Yoruba actress Foluke Daramola says she was raped
The actress, who is currently championing the course of her Non-Government Organisation, Action Against Rape In Africa, explained that her experiences as female child played a vital role in the establishment of the NGO.
The NGO is also supported by her colleagues including Fathia Balogun, Ronke Ojo, Eniola Badmus and Ayo Adesanya.
She said "I have had different experiences; I have been in a marriage once, I was abused in it, I was deflowered by rapists, I lost my father when I was two years-old, it wasn't easy at all. I started acting when I was a teenager because I needed to put food on my table and to further my education. In fact, I share the same experiences with the common man and that is why I want to do something to assist them.
"I had a younger brother and I never get to have a father figure in my life. As I grew up, my environment exposed me to danger and that was why I was deflowered at an early stage."

DvNsports: Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud admits cheating on his wife
The striker was accused by The Sun of meeting American model Celia Kay in a hotel room the night before the Gunners played Crystal Palace at the Emirates on February 2.
Giroud at first denied the encounter, but after photos emerged of the half-naked Frenchman in Kay's room, the 27-year-old has now publically confessed to the meeting.
He wrote, in French and English: 'I apologise to my wife, family and friends and my manager, team-mates and Arsenal fans.
'I now have to fight for my family and for my club and obtain their forgiveness. Nothing else matters at the moment.'
Giroud is expected to receive a heavy fine from Arsenal for breaching club curfew rules prior to a game.
Celia, who was at the hotel from 12.50am to 3.04am on February 2, told last week how she and Giroud were 'extremely loving and tactile' but did not have sex.
Russian woman rapes man who tried to rob her
Viktor Jasinski, 32, admitted to police that he had gone to the salon in Meshchovsk, Russia, with the intention of robbing it.
But the tables were turned dramatically when he found himself overcome by owner Olga Zajac, 28, who happened to be a black belt in karate. She allegedly floored the would-be robber with a single kick.
Then, in a scene reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, police say Zajac dragged the semi-conscious Jasinski to a back room of the salon and tied him up with a hair dryer cable.
She allegedly stripped him naked and, for the next three days, used him as a sex slave to 'teach him a lesson' - force feeding him Viagra to keep the lesson going.
The would-be robber was eventually released, with Zajak saying he had learned his lesson.
Jasinski went straight to the police and told them of his back-room ordeal, saying that he had been held hostage, handcuffed naked to a radiator, and fed nothing but Viagra.
When police arrived to question Zahjac, she said: "What a bastard. Yes, we had sex a couple of times. But I bought him new jeans, gave him food and even gave him 1,000 roubles when he left."
Both have now been arrested.

Photos: Man offers himself as food to white tigers
Yang Jinhai, 27, had posted several online messages about how optimistic he was about starting a new life after getting a job as a security guard in Chengdu in southwest China's Sichuan province.
But he quickly found the job boring and monotonous and moved instead to a job in a printing factory where he also then resigned, saying that he felt there was more to life.
After going to the local zoo he wrote how depressing it was to see the "noble and magnificent tigers" living in such humble surroundings, where they were caged and unable to follow their natural instincts to hunt and kill.
He then announced that he had decided to sacrifice himself in order to provide the Bengal tigers with support.
Eyewitness Feng Lin said: "He climbed up the outside of the cage and jumped inside expecting, I assume, that the tigers would pounce on him. Instead the two tigers, a male and a female, seemed more nervous than anything else and the female actually ran off.
"He then tried to antagonise the tigers by pulling faces at them. Eventually he was attacked by the male where he was cut after being scratched and bitten before he could be rescued by zoo keepers who fired a tranquilliser dart at the male tiger."
They then pulled the man out of the cage.
Yang's family told local media Mr Jinhai had been depressed for a long time and said that he had been taken to a home where he was given psychiatric counselling to cope with his problems.

Milan denied the latter claim and while speculation is now rife that Balotelli will be offloaded this summer to fund moves for other players, the man himself says he is going nowhere, revealing that he is enjoying life under new boss Clarence Seedorf.
"I have spoken with him about situations with the team and the things that I must do on the field," the Azzurri ace told Marca. "I'm happy.
Seedorf is a great champion and it's a pleasure to listen to him. He was also a great player. I hope that everything goes well."
Meanwhile, Balotelli confirmed that he would be cheering on City in their last-16 clash with Barcelona.
"I hope that Manchester City beat Barcelona," he confessed. "But it will be difficult for my ex-team-mates as Barcelona are one of the favourites."

Jerome's Mother called Portland police after discovering his corpse in his room. Jerome's mother told Huzler reporters
"1 hour passed since I had called him down for lunch, Jerome was the kind of boy to steal food off your plate when you were not looking, i knew something was wrong when he didn't come down to eat, he was a great kid" she finished as she began to cry.
Police arrived at the home about an hour after Ms. Carpenter called them. Officer Dean Marrow told Huzler reporters what they saw when they opened Jerome's bedroom door.
"The young man was on his bed... his penis was detached from his body, it must have been so intense it just came off his body, we found his penis gripped in his left hand so tightly we couldn't get it out, it was tragic,".
Investigators are still investigating the case for more information. Jerome's funeral will take place sometime next week
