Nigerian Soldier Commits Suicide Over Frustration Of Being Posted To The North

A Nigerian soldier identified as Samaila Gabriel with service number 09NA/63/2867, has committed suicide in Yobe state after authorities refused to transfer him out of the north east.

According to THE CABLE, One of Gabriel’s colleagues stated that the deceased got frustrated as a result of the refusal of the authorities to transfer him out of the north-east since he was posted there three years ago.

Some of the soldiers on the battlefront have not been allowed to visit their loved ones in years, while many have been killed by insurgents.

Gabriel’s corpse has reportedly been deposited at the Sani Abacha hospital in Damaturu, the state capital.
The army is yet to make a statement on the issue but TheCable understands that investigation is ongoing.

Sani Usman, spokesman of the army, did not respond to a text message which TheCable sent to his telephone line on Saturday evening.

Four reasons why Nigerian economy will not improve under Buhari

The rate of change in our time is so swift that an individual of ordinary length of life will be called on to face novel situations which have no parallel in the past. The fixed man for the fixed duties, who in the old society was such a “god-send” will in the future be a public danger— Alfred North Whitehead, 1861-1947. Read more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/11/four-reasons-why-nigerian-economy-will-not-improve-under-buhari/ THE rate of change globally had accelerated several hundred fold since Whitehead wrote his observation. There was no internet then. Major economic developments affecting the lives of other nations took several months to be known to others and their reactions became manifest several months or even years after. First, the globalisation of economies changed that; then internet completed the job. Today, a change, up or down, in the price of crude oil registers its impact on prices of shares in all the capital markets around the globe. Every nation on

Lady laments her on her bad experience from GIGM driver

When an employee of a service providing firm can say to a customer, "go ahead and report me!". It shows that firm is on it's way to extinction. God is Good Motors your captains will soon kill your business if you can't put them in check! I boarded your bus AYB 113 XP driven by one Monday Omuchere on Thursday to Enugu. He not only made sure the ride was unpleasant by his obstinate attitude, he blatantly refused to heed the passengers advice even when it was glaring that his bus needed urgent mechanical attention. Same driver went ahead to boast to us that we could feel free to call the office. One passenger did, two in fact! And what did we get? Nothing! No feedback whatsoever! A trip that should not take more than 10 hours at the most, lasted for 14 whole hours, because bus is rickety, with poor shocks, and bad headlamps that could barely give visibility! To my chagrin, this morning, I encountered same bus on my return trip and it was even worse! Mr Monday
