2018: Boko Haram responds to Buhari’s new year message
2018: Boko Haram responds to Buhari’s new year message
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, on Tuesday released a new video, claiming responsibility for a number of attacks in North East Nigeria during the festive season.
It is Shekau’s video in many months, amid claims from the Nigerian government, that the insurgent group has been defeated.
“We are in good health and nothing has happened to us,” Shekau said in the 31-minute video message spoken in the Hausa language.
“Nigerian troops, police and those creating mischief against us can’t do anything against us, and you will gain nothing.
“We carried out the attacks in Maiduguri, in Gamboru, in Damboa. We carried out all these attacks,” he said.
The video then shows footage from a Christmas Day attack on a military checkpoint in Molai village on the outskirts of the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri.
President Muhammadu Buhari stated in his New Year address, that Boko Haram has been “beaten”.
“Isolated attacks still occur, but even the best-policed countries cannot prevent determined criminals from committing terrible acts of terror,” Buhari said.
UNICEF: 20,210 babies born in Nigeria on Jan. 1
UNICEF: 20,210 babies born in Nigeria on Jan. 1
Nigeria would have approximately 20,210 babies born into the country on the New Year’s day.
This represents the third largest population of newborns in the world on Jan. 1, 2018, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said.
UNICEF also said nearly 386,000 babies would be born worldwide on New Year’s Day, representing some 90 per cent in less developed regions.
The agency reported that Kiribati’s Christmas Island in the Pacific would most likely welcome 2018’s first baby while the U.S., its last.
Globally, over half of these births are estimated to take place in nine countries, according to UNICEF.
These are: India, 69,070; China, 44,760; Nigeria, 20,210; Pakistan, 14,910; Indonesia, 13,370; United States, 11,280; Democratic Republic of Congo, 9,400; Ethiopia, 9,020; and Bangladesh, 8,370.
While many babies would survive, some would not make it past their first day, UNICEF said.
Stefan Peterson, UNICEF’s Chief of Health, said on Monday that the agency was challenging nations around the world to make sure more newborns survive their first days of life.
“This New Year, UNICEF’s resolution is to help give every child more than an hour, more than a day, more than a month – more than survival,” Peterson said.
In 2016, an estimated 2,600 children died within the first 24 hours every day of the year, according to the UN agency.
UNICEF said that for almost two million newborns, their first week was also their last.
In all, 2.6 million children died before the end of their first month, the global children’s agency disclosed.
UNICEF said more than 80 per cent of the children died from preventable and treatable causes such as premature birth, complications during delivery, and infections like sepsis and pneumonia.
Peterson stressed: “We call on governments and partners to join the fight to save millions of children’s lives by providing proven, low-cost solutions.”
Over the past two decades, the world has seen unprecedented progress in child survival, halving the number of children worldwide who die before their fifth birthday to 5.6 million in 2016.
But in spite of these advances, there has been slower progress for newborns, UNICEF noted adding, babies dying in the first month account for 46 per cent of all deaths among children under five.
In February 2018, UNICEF would launch ‘Every Child Alive,’ a global campaign to demand and deliver affordable, quality health care solutions for every mother and newborn.
These include a steady supply of clean water and electricity at health facilities, the presence of a skilled health attendant during birth, disinfecting the umbilical cord, breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, and skin-to-skin contact between the mother and child.
“We are now entering the era when all the world’s newborns should have the opportunity to see the 22nd century,” Peterson added.
Unfortunately, nearly half of the children born this year likely will not, the UNICEF official regretted.
“A child born in Sweden in January 2018 is most likely to live to 2100, while a child from Somalia would be unlikely to live beyond 2075,” he lamented.
Nigerians react to Fr. Mbaka’s prophecy on Buhari
Nigerians react to Fr. Mbaka’s prophecy on Buhari
Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the spiritual director, Adoration Ministry, Enugu, has come under attack by Nigerians over his 2019 prophecies.
Mbaka in his new year message had declared that Buhari would be totally disgraced if he takes a shot at the presidency after his current tenure.
Some Nigerians who seem not to have forgotten the preacher’s support for Buhari in 2015 elections have asked him to stop politicising and face the word of God.
At the same pulpit three years ago, he had prophesied that then President Goodluck Jonathan would be defeated in the 2015 election and also supported Buhari’s change.
Here are some comments:
@kingmethods “Fr. Mbaka, how market?before 2015 general elections, you said Buhari is the only person that can save Nigeria. And now before 2019 general election you are saying….Buhari, contest and be disgraced.
“Fr. Mbaka Face your church and leave IPOB and Nigerian politics alone!!! Religion and politics don’t go together
@ekanem “Political reverend, you are a wolve in sheep’s clothing, you have no place in Christianity ,you have made your stomach your god and have defrauded the gullibles, the law of Kama will catch up with you soon
@dukemomoh “I wonder why this pastors normally use the situation on ground that we are all aware of to predict what will happen every time we are witnessing a new year.
They should stop disturbing us. Na mumu dem go fit deceive.
@elisha “Mbaka at it again. Mbaka why? Part Three(3). I thought this is your man or could this be a rejoinder to Jonathan’s.
@Moses “Fr. Politician Mbarka! You brought in Buhari!! you are sending him packing again!!
@Oparah “But you said he is the messiah in 2015 abi no be you again.
@Kanu “Stop politicking and face your ministry.
@Chinonye “Don’t take your words serious anymore ! you told us good luck was bad luck to us n Buhary was God sent, now another story ,please God is not an author of confusion
@Ogechime “Mbaka shut up!!! You put us in this mess in the first place.
@julius Stop playing God!!! Almighty God is still using PMB! He is on God own assignment, he will carry it out to the last letter! So retrace your step prophet Mbaka. For your information God will not allow Corruption to kill our country Nigeria
@edward “It’s unfortunate that most of our men of God in the Christiandom have abandoned their calling an concentrate on so-called prophecy to gain patronage and that is exactly Wat father mbaka is doing wit the greatest respect
@anang “Pure fake prophecy. I can tell you if the North want Buhari to be president and Buhari is willing to contest, its easy for him to win. Its not rocker science to read or understand the permutations and narratives of political alignment in Nigeria.
@Stanley “The battle for 2019 has started. It is only a fool that will encourage Buhari to context election again in Nigeria. A government that cannot successful handle minor administrative issues of vetting list appointment.
@Felix Anybody can lose in any election, nothing is new about it. Again, can’t you focus on soul winning and leave politics for politicians?
@Suleyman He is not God. You’re just an ordinary human being using a guess work. His prophecy is based on guess work.
@Abubakar “When this man spoke against some actions of the Jonathan administration, people said he has been bought by the then opposition. Now that he speaks against some actions of the Buhari Administration, has he been bought by the present opposition? One cannot say what is what unless he sides with a particular inclination?
@kelechi “Fr Mbaka has his personal opinion. We should respect man of God but let him tell us why he supported PMB election…. there are more to it.

“The suffering shall increase if we allow them to keep pushing our mumu button this year, APC, PDP, all shall be rejected by Nigerians wey sabi hallelujah.
“I see Boko Haram laying down their arms and organising a peace concert.

PDP to Buhari: Your new year speech a failure
PDP to Buhari: Your new year speech a failure
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s New Year speech as depressing.
The party said Buhari completely failed to address serious economic and security issues confronting the nation and for which Nigerians earnestly expected answers from Government.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Monday said Nigerians were again treated to another round of false claims and empty promises, which had become a routine in close to three years of APC-controlled Presidency.
He added that the false claims and empty promises were the reason the PDP earlier advised the Federal Government not to bother about any New Year message to Nigerians.
“We already knew the pattern and we advised against it this year. We knew their New Year message would heighten Nigerians’ despondency rather than providing us hope”, the statement said.
The party also expressed disappointment that instead of accepting that it has failed, the Presidency attempted to appropriate and claim credit for the achievements of the PDP.
It said instead of inspiring the people, the address ended up depressing and annoying them the more as it held no message and did not proffer any solutions to the problems inflicted by the APC Federal Government.
“Instead of offering solutions or providing the indices for development, the Presidency deployed over 2000 words passing the buck, begging the question, making empty claims and attempting to appropriate achievements of the PDP administration.
“What could be more depressing than the fact that the President, who is also the Minister of Petroleum Resources, did not give a clear-cut solution to the acute fuel crisis bedeviling his nation today?
“The President’s speech neither addressed how to raise the fallen value of the naira nor how to rescue the labour market from the 8 million job losses and acute unemployment being suffered by Nigerians under the APC.
“The address completely failed to respond to issues of corruption under the APC regime, including allegations of budget padding, secret oil subsidy deals, illegal lifting of crude worth trillions of naira, pillaging of Nigeria’s foreign reserve, diversion of billions of naira for insurgency related matters, all by APC interests.
“Furthermore, the speech had no assurances on the worsening economic recession ravaging families under this regime; it had nothing on the dilapidated infrastructure and attendant stress on the economy, which the APC government has caused Nigerians.
“Rather, what we heard was a boring litany of buck passing, lame declarations and barefaced attempt to appropriate and claim credit for achievements and landmark projects initiated, articulated and implemented by the PDP administration, including, the railway, electricity and agricultural projects.
“We challenge the APC Presidency to tell Nigerians which landmark project it has initiated, articulated and executed in its close to three years of governance.
“Also the citizens are eager to know what work percentage that have been added to projects that were being executed by the PDP before the APC took power by propaganda and lies in 2015.
“Nigerians have now seen that the APC has nothing to offer but has only succeeded in wrecking the nation and inflicting hardship on the people.
“The option before Nigerians is to kick out the APC come 2019 and return the PDP, which is now repositioned to bring the nation back to the path of national unity and prosperity we all once enjoyed.
“On this note, the PDP stands with the people to once again present a government that is serious, truthful and transparent, with an array of best hands harnessing and channeling our national resources for the good of all, as was the order before the unfortunate incursion of the APC.”

2018: Saraki urge Nigerians on improved economy
2018: Saraki urge Nigerians on improved economy
President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has extended his heart felt good wishes to all Nigerians in the New Year, with a clarion call on them to pray for a full recovery of the economy in 2018.
Saraki in a New Year message signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, said a strong economy would enable government to achieve physical development and improved standard of living of the people.
He added that God has blessed Nigeria with all the potentials necessary for her to have a strong economy that would take care of its growing population but that it was unfortunate that there is still so much underdevelopment in the country.
He noted that most of the problems now threatening the unity, progress and peace of the country were rooted in the poor state of the economy and that there was need for the government and Nigerians to work together in Year 2018 to ensure the success of policies initiated to rebuild the economy, create employment, attract investment opportunities and make the nation self-sufficient.
He said that government alone cannot make the economy to work but that it requires the co-operation, prayers and change of attitude on the part of the people to develop the country and make 2018 a more fruitful and beneficial year for the citizenry.
“I wish all Nigerians overflowing happiness on this joyful occasion,” Saraki said. “The end of one year and the beginning of another is always a time that is full of hope. While 2017 was challenging for many Nigerians, we must look back on the year with the knowledge that better days are ahead.
“Although we still have so much to do to achieve our desired individual and national objectives, let us rise up with courage and determination to make the situation better”, he stated.
While lauding the resilience of Nigerians in the face of national challenges and their avowed love for the unity and greater progress for the country, he noted that every Nigerian deserve a better deal.
“All of us deserve a chance to live a better life. This is why the Senate and indeed the 8th National Assembly will continue to collaborate with the executive to ensure that all the policies and programmes of the present administration targeted at making life more meaningful for the people are realized.
“The National Assembly will not spare efforts in passing more laws that will serve as catalyst for our economic stability and growth. Laws that will help make our businesses thrive. Laws that will enhance the creation of jobs and put more money in the pockets of our people”, he stated.
He wished Nigerians a happy and blessed 2018.
