USAfrica: A dangerous situation involving overcharged reprisal attacks by Nigerian soldiers in the Boko Haram torn eastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri has left 33 civilians dead. Reports reaching USAfricaonline.com say the

soldiers were enraged by the killing of a Nigerian soldier attached to a special domestic terrorism unit on Monday October 8, 2012. Two other soldiers were wounded in a bombing in the same area.

A local Islamic leader in Maiduguri informed USAfrica and USAfricaonline.com in the summer of 2012 that a major problem which the Nigerian government is facing in their fight against the radical Islamic sect Boko Haram in and around Maiduguri is that “the Nigerian army and the police engage, sometimes, in sweeping attacks on not only the Boko Haram but on some innocent civilians. They lose the trust of the population.”

The Boko Haram which has been brazen and bold in their various actions across key cities in the northern region of Nigeria has the northeastern commercially rich city of Maiduguri as their key base.

The October 8, 2012 killings will complicate the task for the embattled government of Goodluck Jonathan as the twin problems of insecurity and poverty add to the challenges facing Nigeria.
USAfrica is reliably informed that the Nigerian government is benefiting from the technical, intelligence support of three major international security agencies.

USAfrica: Ikemba ODUMEGWU OJUKWU’s farewell in Aba, today February 28, 2012, reflected a fitting tribute, historically meaningful celebration, proper regard and deserving appreciation of the greatest Igbo, in my opinion, to have ever lived (like him or hate him).

I SALUTE Aba (aka Enyimba city), the robust and fearless town I was born, bred and raised, for giving the Ikemba, our Ochiagha, Gburugburu, Oka oburu uzo, dike na ndu ma n’onwu, mgbadike anyi, a hero’s farewell.

To the Ikemba, may your valiant soul rest in peace and dignity.

We will, and I, Chido Nwangwu, will never forget to continue to tell my generation and the next about your towering courage through tempest and thunder; through sorrow, pain, tears, blood…. •Dr. Chido Nwangwu, Founder & Publisher of USAfrica multimedia networks, first African-owned, U.S-based newspaper published on the internet USAfricaonline.com; and recipient of several journalism and public policy awards, was recently profiled by the CNN International for his pioneering works on multimedia/news/public policy projects for Africans and Americans. http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/international/2010/07/29/mpa.african.media.bk.a.cnn.
