Oladeligt:It is just a comment in the internet, I ask not for anybody to believe me and I gain nothing if I am believed or not believed, pretty much my life goes on the same way regardless of if you and your followers believe me or not. Actually generally speaking, people shouldn't believe what they read online. As for hinting that people are mentally ill, I think you need to leave these kinds of comments to those who specialise in mental health and studied it for nearly a decade. I would like to understand why you guys often speak with the same expressions, is it lack of sufficient intelligence to be creatif or is it the love of copying each other ? |

ECOWAS Court Awards N90million In Damages To Nigerian Air Force Woman Tortured, Dismissed After Superior Officer Raped Her The court awarded $200,000 (N90 million) to the applicant (name withheld) on Friday and mandated the Air Force to investigate and prosecute Vibelko for the rape of the victim. The ECOWAS court has delivered judgment in a suit filed by an aircraftwoman who was raped by her superior officer, Flight Lieutenant B. S. Vibelko, and dismissed from the Nigerian Air Force after she lodged a complaint. The court awarded $200,000 (N90 million) to the applicant (name withheld) on Friday and mandated the Air Force to investigate and prosecute Vibelko for the rape of the victim. File Photo The applicant had accused one of her superiors, Vibelko, of drugging and raping her on May 17, 2011, sued him and the Air Force, Chief of Air Staff, and Attorney-General of the Federation for her unlawful dismissal. Until her illegal dismissal in 2015, the court held that the applicant was an aircraftwoman in the Nigeria Air Force. She was enlisted into the Nigerian Air Force on August 15, 2010, with Service No NAF10/25157F. She had put in over five years of active and meritorious service before her persistent victimisation, culminating in her dismissal. In a judgement delivered on Friday, Justice Dupe Atoki, who read the judgement, described the applicant's experience as "undeserving of a human being". She held that "the brutal rape of the applicant is beastly, undeserving of a human being, and the failure of the Nigerian Air Force to investigate and punish its perpetrator is a show of impunity by the Air Force and the Nigerian authorities. "The Nigerian Air Force and the Nigerian authorities are hereby ordered to arrest, investigate and prosecute the perpetrator... what amount of money is enough to compensate a teenager gruesomely raped by her superiors on her way to womanhood." The court further ordered that her dismissal be converted to retirement with attendant benefits. The court ordered that the applicant be paid $200,000 (about N90 million) as compensation and a report of compliance be submitted by the Nigerian authorities within three months of being served notice of judgement. The Applicant was represented by her counsel, Marshal Abubakar. The applicant had narrated that she "was sexually assaulted and brutally raped and deflowered by her superior officer in the Nigerian Air force, one Flight Lieutenant B. S Vibelko". Attached to the suit were medical reports confirming the rape and breach of virginity. The Applicant in the suit further narrated that she made a frantic effort to resist the rape but the said Flight Lieutenant B.S. Vibelko overpowered her, hitting her head against the wall several times in the process, after which she eventually fainted while he had his way. The suit filed by her counsel further stated, "The Applicant avers that subsequent upon the fact deposed to above, on May 18, 2011, at about 12;00hrs. GMT, she woke up to find herself on admission at the accident and emergency ward in 345 Aeromedical Hospital Kaduna. "The Applicant further avers that as a result, her health suffered greatly, physically and in status and she contacted severe sexually transmitted infections which resulted into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease growing solid mass close to her uterus. "The Applicant further avers that resulting from the foregoing; she suffered constant intermittent fainting, severe discharge, chronic lower abdominal pains, dizziness and swollen vulva. "The Applicant further avers that her male superiors in the Nigeria Air force rather than investigate and mete out appropriate sanctions subjected her to unprecedented intimidation, victimisation and threat to her life. "The Applicant avers that she was often locked up in the guardroom for no reason, placed on constant punishment duties constantly accused and put through various degrees of punishment, imprisonment with hard labour, often dragged on the ground and beaten to the point of comatose whilst nude with bruises all over her body. "The Applicant avers that she received several death threats from several officers of the Nigerian Air Force who threatened to kill her for daring to expose an officer of the Nigerian Air Force for raping her. "The Applicant further avers that a regimental entry was made into her file stating that she should never be promoted with her colleagues up until her unlawful dismissal, which was dutifully carried out. The Applicant avers that she sighted the said regimental entry in the Personnel Management Group (PMG), Sam Ethnan Base, Ikeja, Lagos." According to her, from September 28, 2015, to October 1, 2015, she served various unjustifiable rifle punishment ordered by Squadron leader Ilori, the OC provost, "for daring to report the rape incident". She said on October 1, 2015, she was diagnosed with severe high fever upon which she was required to report to the hospital but that Squadron Leader Ilori mandated her to stay on at the guard post. But she said shortly after, she suffered severe dehydration, fainted and had to be revived after a quick first aid treatment. But as soon as she opened her eyes around 8 pm, she was ordered by her superiors to immediately go back to her duty post in line with the established military rule of 'obey before complaint', she said. She narrated how she was also verbally and physically assaulted by one Flight Lieutenant, after which she was detained in a cell for ten days from October 1, 2015 - October 10, 2015, without food. According to her, she was also later locked up by Squadron Leader Ejiga and was subjected to "severe beating, torture, degrading treatment" in the cell. She also narrated how she regained consciousness in the hospital after one of the sessions of abuses she suffered, only to find that her hand had been cuffed to the hospital bed. The applicant had medical reports and photographs of when she looked critically ill to support her claims before the court. Among other things sought from the court, the applicant had asked for a declaration that the "dismissal of the Applicant as a soldier in the Nigerian Air Force by the Defendant without arraignment, prosecution and sentence by a duly constituted Court Martial is irregular, illegal, unlawful, null and void whatsoever as to the act of the Defendant herein constitute a violation of the Applicant's Fundamental Rights to fair hearing as stated in the provisions of SECTION 36 (1), (5) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (As Amended) Third Alteration Act, Article 7 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights, Articles 8, 10, 11 (1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights". It sought an order of the court to compel the "Defendant, its agents, organs, servants, privies or by whatever name called to pay over to the Applicant her monthly salary and other allowances from the month such sum is last paid until the date judgment is enforced in this suit". It also sought an order directing the "DefendantDefendant, their agents, organs, privies, servants or by whatever name called to pay over to the Applicant the sum of $10 000 000. 00 (about N4.5 billion) only as general damages for the physical, psychological and mental torture suffered by the Applicant due to the various human rights violations she was subjected to by the defendant. "An order of this Honourable Court compelling the defendant, its agents, organs, servants, privies or by whatever name called to pay over to the Applicant the sum of $20, 000,000.00 (about N9 billion) only as aggravated and punitive damages that will serve as a deterrent to the defendant. "An order of this Honourable Court directing the defendant to pay over to the Applicant the sum of $500 000.00 (about N225 million) only being the solicitor's fees and other incidental costs. "An order of this Honourable Court directing the Defendant, its agents, organs, servants, privies or by whatever name called to immediately reinstate the Applicant to the rank her contemporaries in the Nigeria Air force currently occupies," the document stated. http://saharareporters.com/2021/05/01/ecowas-court-awards-n90million-damages-nigerian-air-force-woman-tortured-dismissed-after |

jpphilips:You are not fully exploiting your brain: northerners get promoted above people whom are much smarter and more educated than them, hence most northerners in high position in the military do not deserve their ranks and lack the intellect to do the job correctly. Also this lack of meritocracy makes northerners to not need to strive to do better: why work hard when you are promised to get all the rewards regardless. By the way, all I am saying is obvious, but since you are a teenager, I need to state the obvious in order to improve your understanding. 3 Likes |

Sizzorkay: The painful part of it is that we have a GDP of 400bn dollars as at 2020 which could go up to about 1trillion dollars by 2025 but tax/revenue collection is disgustingly low. if we can atleast adhere to the normal standard of atleast 15% revenue to GDP ratio, we would have made 60bn dollars of revenue in 2020. Just imagine the huge difference that will make. Ghana currently makes nothing less than 16% revenue to GDP ratio, if we don't know how to do it then we should ask Ghana for help on how they achieved theirs. 1 Like |

Ask yourselves why a Rwandan general who was trained by the Nigerian army was given authority over his Nigerian counterparts by the un in Mali. First and foremost, I served in 3 different UN Missions, UNMIL, UNMISET and lastly MINUSMA. The post of a force commander is advertised, applications are accepted and a lot of criterias normally come into play when appointments are made. The Rwanda General probably have gone on several UN missions which tend to give him an edge over even a America General with no prior UN experience. When I was in Liberia, most of these tiny African countries like Rwanda, Gambia, Malawi etc rend to have greater representation in leadership positions than Nigerians or Ghanaians. Why become, tgoer Police and Military strength is small ans as such they tend to experience more missions than we do with far greater strength. It has noting to do with tribe or religion. The FPU Coordinator in Liberia was a Rwanda who has attended missions over missions. Infact the dude is usually called Mr. UN because of the number of UN medals he has earned. Note, an ASP with 2 mission experience can be made a DPO, while a Deputy Commissioner with no UN Misson will be posted as an IPO or desk officer in the same division. That's how UN operate. 6 Likes |

QuietMynd: Most Americans aren't concerned with situations outside United states. The way you claimed trump did it few days to election make it seems like everything was planned and staged including the kidnapping. The truth of the matter is, the United states government have always been very proactive anytime their Citizens are kidnapped, they don't negotiate with terrorists. Here in Nigeria, we use money to solve every issue, no wonder, these people keep kidnapping because at the end they will receive another incentive from the government. If i was president, for every person you kill, the same number of persons in your family will be killed, this doctrine is a Russian military doctrine when dealing with terrorists. 2 Likes |

Terrorists Are Using Guns, Others Stolen From Nigerian Military To Kill Citizens —Senator Ndume Senator Ali Ndume has said most of arms and ammunition used by insurgents against Nigerians were stolen from the Nigerian military and other security agencies in the country. Ndume, who represents Borno South in the Senate, added that the terrorists also get weapons from places like Libya and Chad. “Most of the arms and ammunition they use are the ones they succeed in carting away from the Nigerian soldiers and other armed forces or security agencies,” the Chairman, Senate Committee on Army, said on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television. “I know they have some small arms coming from up there like Libya, Chad, and all that but the bulk of the equipment they use are the ones they succeeded in stealing from our armed forces.” Many Nigerians have been calling for the resignation or Impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari over the growing insecurity in the country. They have complained about widespread insecurity across the country, blaming the Buhari government of not doing enough or lacking ideas required to successfully tackle the problem. https://saharareporters.com/2021/04/30/terrorists-are-using-guns-others-stolen-nigerian-military-kill-citizens-%E2%80%94senator-ndume |
