IRS Plane Crash lands In Niger Republic. IGPs son co-pilot

A Folker 100 belonging to IRS airlines crashed in Niger Republic on Saturday evening.

Information reaching our correspondent said that the aircraft with registration number 5NSIK, which was returning from a C CHECK crashed at about 7.30pm.

However, no life was lost as the two crew members who were on board survived.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the crash.

The pilot and co-pilot were the ones on the plane.

The Nigerian police confirmed that the co-pilot of the craft was the son of the Inspector General of Nigeria Police.

When Our Girls are back!

The world rallied round Nigeria when it was learnt that a good number of school giwe rls were kidnapped in a school in the north east of Nigeria.

The Islamist militant sect Bokoharam claimed responsibility for the kidnap and threatened to sell the girls out in forced marriages.

The outcry generated from their activities brought about the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag on Twitter and the whole world joined in, forcing the authorities to seek a quick and effective way to bring the girls back home.

Nigerian Military boasts of a good ground force which has been involved in peace keeping activities around the world but massive corruption at all levels and lack technology investment and advancement has seen the military under equipped and not motivated. No hi-tech gadgets, intelligence gathering and communication equipment which has led to the military being over powered by the sect on occasions. There is little investment in intelligence gathering and the long stretch of border in the northeast remains porous and open for illegal activities.

Following the request and subsequent approval of the request of the USA to assist in bringing home the abducted girls, a campaign was launched which we pray to be successful.

The questions now is, when the girls are back, what next?
Do we go back to status quo?
Do we go idling about till something grave happens?

Do we have any corp that researches and develops  security equipment so as to adapt such equipment to our terrain?

Do we have manufacturing companies?

Our institutions are just for us to get the 'paper' then sit behind the desk.

It is time for us to wake up and tackle our problems from the root cause. Luckily we have more advanced countries which we can ask for assistance in the various aspects we are slacking.

Bombings kill our men and women, our soldiers are killed, our children are orphaned, widows and widowers are made, tears flow freely, there is blood on the street.
We can't keep creating hashtags to solve our security problems.

Intelligence should be invested heavily on.
The huge allocation to security should be scrutinized and utilized wisely. Blueprint  /working plan should be established with contribution from experienced foreign analysts to ensure that as we will be successful to #BringBackOurGirls, we endeavour to improve our border security, homeland security and #KeepOurGirlsSafe

ANC Wins South Africa Election

The African National Congress has won a commanding victory in South Africa’s general election, partial results show.

With about 80 per cent of the results in, the ANC has 63 per cent of the vote, followed by the Democratic Alliance on 22 per cent.

The BBC’s Andrew Harding says inequality, unemployment and corruption are big problems but the electorate has shown it has not lost faith in the ANC.

The Economic Freedom Fighters party is in third place with 5 per cent.

The electoral commission said voting passed off peacefully in most areas, with turnout at just over 72 per cent.

The elections are the first since the death in December of Nelson Mandela – the country’s first black president – and mark 20 years since the end of white-minority rule.

Dissatisfaction with the government has been growing over high levels of unemployment, a lack of basic services and allegations of widespread corruption.

Our correspondent says the ANC is likely to use its impressive mandate to try to drive through its National Development Plan – rejecting nationalisation, and emphasising investment and infrastructure.

The business-friendly plan has alarmed South Africa’s powerful unions – some of which may soon break away to form their own party, he says.

He adds that, on 5 per cent, the EFF are no threat to the ANC but their aggressive populism will keep ministers on their toes, and South African politics more abrasive than ever.

The DA has increased its share of the vote from 17 per cent in the last election to 22 per cent, according to the latest results.

Early on Thursday, DA leader Helen Zille told AFP news agency that she expected her party’s final vote to be around the 23 per cent margin.

“We’ll see how it goes. Of course, we hope it will be more. We did as much as we could,” she is quoted as saying.

The DA has been trying to make inroads into the black electorate – its support is mainly concentrated in the Western Cape which has a large white and mixed-race population.

Those born after the end of apartheid in 1994 were able to cast their ballots for the first time, although only a third of those entitled to do so had registered to vote.

An ANC victory would return President Jacob Zuma for a second five-year term. He was dogged by allegations of corruption in the build-up to the election after an independent inquiry found he had “unduly benefited” from an expensive government-funded upgrade to his private residence.

Speaking as he cast his vote on Wednesday, Zuma said he thought “the results will be very good”, but added that the campaign had been “very challenging”.

In the last election in 2009, the ANC saw a slight drop in support, polling 66 per cent of the vote.
