The Senate has called on the Nigerian military to deploy sufficient personnel to reclaim Abadam and Marte Local Government Areas in Borno State, reportedly under the control of Boko Haram insurgents. During plenary, the Senate acknowledged the significant sacrifices made by the military in combating insurgency but expressed concern over the lingering presence of Boko Haram in the two Local Governments. This resolution followed a motion presented by Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno (APC – Borno North). Senator Monguno highlighted the challenges Borno State had faced due to prolonged insurgency, commending the efforts of the Nigerian Armed Forces in restoring relative peace. However, he raised concerns about the lack of civil authority and military presence in Guzamala, Abadam, and Marte Local Government Areas, which he said are predominantly agricultural communities. Monguno stressed that the insecurity in the areas had caused severe hardship, disrupted local economies, and hindered infrastructure development.

The Challenges of Knowledge Despite its many benefits, knowledge also presents challenges: I want you to this 1. Misinformation and Disinformation: The digital age has made it easier to access information, but it has also led to the spread of misinformation and disinformation. Critical thinking and media literacy are essential skills for navigating the vast amount of information available online. 2. Knowledge Gaps: Disparities in access to education and information create knowledge gaps within and between communities. These gaps can perpetuate cycles of poverty and inequality, highlighting the need for inclusive educational policies. 3. Overload and Complexity: The sheer volume of available information can lead to knowledge overload, making it difficult for individuals to discern what is relevant or accurate. Strategies for effective knowledge management are crucial in today’s information-rich environment.

PORTRAITS OF SHAME In the market you find a poor woman with a baby at her back you lower your car window and with a military rough command voice you asked her: How much are you selling those onions and bananas? The poor seller politely replies, "N1,500 for a bunch of bananas and N1,000 for a pack of onions.'' With pride you demand the bunch of bananas at N800 and the the pack of onions at N700 or else you will leave. The poor seller resigns to fate and replies, "take them at the price you want. I have not made any sale today, at least I have something for supper now." She has made a loss but she goes further to buy a plastic bag for you to pack the two items you have just bought. You order her to hurry up otherwise you may change your mind. She apologises and with a smile, she gives you the items and she blesses you for patronizing her. You literally throw the money at her and you sped away leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust which causes a bit of discomfort to her and the baby. She is coughing while securing her little money. Her poverty has left her with no choice. You have now arrived at the 5-star restaurant where you are to meet friends and you ask them to order food and drinks of their choice. They order expensive food and the leftovers are more than the food they have eaten. The total bill is N65,000 and you pay without bargaining, you gave a tip of N5,000 appreciating the waiter for a delicious meal....which you didn't eat even half of. This incident might seem quite normal to you but it's inhumane... THE POINT IS:-👇 Why do we always show that we have the bargaining power when we buy from the poor? Why do we become arrogant when buying from the poor? Why do we become stingy when buying from the vulnerable? Why do we show generosity to those who do not even need our generosity? Why do we become polite when buying from the rich who view our money as mere change? Why do we channel money to a sea of money? Please buy simple goods from the poor people at high prices....do it deliberately. Sometimes, pay extra for the items you buy from poor women...you are only blessing them in your little way Please where possible buy items from local markets. To everyone reading this, please, everytime you see them in traffic, taxi parks, bus stops, on the streets....just buy! Don't bargain. They are not looking for money to buy expensive clothes or mansions or cars, but to feed their children back home and pay school fees. Please let's support the less privileged🙏🙏🙏🙏 #everyone #follower #viralpost2024 #highlightsシ゚

Chelsea’s stance on Victor Osimhen’s transfer has been justified, highlighting a key contrast under Enzo Maresca’s management. Eighty days ago, on the final day of the 2024 summer transfer window, Chelsea were still pursuing Victor Osimhen, a long-term target from Napoli. However, negotiations were hindered by the Nigerian striker’s high wage demands. Chelsea’s transfer strategy typically focuses on signing young, unproven talents who command more modest salaries, making the Osimhen deal particularly challenging to finalize.

Arsenal have been informed that they will need to pay €50 million to secure Nigerian star Ademola Lookman at the end of the season. Atalanta are willing to honor Lookman’s desire to join a bigger club next summer but have ruled out a January transfer. They will consider offers of €50 million or more during the summer window. Lookman has risen to prominence as one of Europe’s standout players in 2024, highlighted by a remarkable hat-trick in Atalanta’s 3-0 Europa League final win over Bayer Leverkusen. With the highest combined tally of goals and assists among Serie A players across all competitions this year, Lookman has drawn interest from several elite clubs. Notably, PSG nearly secured his signature last summer, with the Nigerian agreeing to personal terms on a €5 million-per-year contract running until 2029.
