Lesson to Learn From this Picture of GEJ and Gen. Buhari

President GoodLuck Ebere Jonathan and General Mohammed Buhari at the Centenary celebration; some people will be abusing and killing themselves over nothing for the two.Politics should be played with sense.Some don't see reasons for celebrations,but our leaders does....God bless Nigeria

Some comments from Nigerians about this unity...............

* This is the whole idea of the centenary awards. Pictures like this can help heal the nation. Let this nation heal. A situation where certain individuals choose to politicize the killings of innocent Nigerians and by default actually support Boko haram in the name of criticizing the government is just plain pathetic and unpatroitic.

* I still believe in Nigeria. Someday, just as this picture depicts, we shall live as brothers and true friends in the spirit of that UNITY AND FAITH. God bless Nigeria.

* That's the love, Gen. Buhari, show Tinubu, Bisi Akande, Lai Mohammed just how to be an opposition... Being an opposition doesn't mean you reject or turn down every proposal by the ruling Gov't just to make the ruling Gov't look incompetent.

War is Coming Between Nigeria and Cameroon Over Boko Haram

There are strong indications that Nigeria and Cameroon may clash over Boko Haram as the Federal Government accuses Cameroon of harbouring members of the militant Islamic sect.

Saturday PUNCH learnt on Thursday that the Federal Government was becoming increasingly frustrated by the refusal of Cameroon to cooperate with Nigeria in its efforts to combat the militant Islamic sect.

A top source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who confided in one of our correspondents in Abuja, said that President Goodluck Jonathan would report Cameroon to relevant agencies in the United Nations.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that the Federal Government was of the view that since the joint commissions had not yielded any positive fruit, it should start looking towards a new direction.

“The best option is to involve the military and use the policy of hot pursuit,’’ a foreign ministry source noted.
