Troops discover Boko Haram hideout-tunnel in Sambisa, free hostages

Troops of the Nigerian Army are continuing their advancement towards the main camp of the Boko Haram sect in Sambisa. During the encounter, the troops freed many hostages and dislodged some Boko Haram insurgents, who fled on sighting them. Army sources told DAILY POST that the Boko Haram fighters cannot escape into towns as there were many check points at all Sambisa exits and entry routes. The troops discovered a tunnel the sect uses as hideout from military air strikes. They also destroyed Boko Haram flags, motorcycles, among other properties. Some images of the operation were obtained by DAILY POST Thursday night.

Game Of Thrones’ Season 6 Teaser: First Hint At How Jon Snow Survives Death?

Does this mean Jon Snow is alive?! The Season 6 teaser for Game of Thrones dropped on Dec. 3, and we’re getting some serious Jon Snow resurrection vibes from it. Think it’s just wishful thinking? Check it out for yourself, here! Okay guys, we know that this might just be our major crush talking, but we really think Jon (Kit Harington) might be alive. The new GoT teaser doesn’t give a whole lot to go on – it’s filled with old scenes of our favorite characters getting stabbed, maimed, sliced and exploded, while the new Three-Eyed Raven’s voice can be heard saying “the past is written, the ink is already dry.” That seems to mean that what’s done is done, but there is just one clue that might hint that Jon isn’t gone for good. Bran Stark is back! Jon’s youngest brother with warging powers (the ability to take over the body of animals) went MIA for all of Season 5, and this is the first we’ve seen of the crippled young Stark since. The crazy part is that we see him with his eyes rol...

Nigerian governors will eventually reduce the federal minimum wage of N18,000 or downsize because of the current economic crunch, the chairman of the body of governors has said. The chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and Zamfara state governor, Abdulaziz Yari, said on Thursday that irrespective of public condemnations of the plan, it would not be economically feasible to retain the same workforce and pay same amount of money. According to him, funds allocated from the Federation Account could no longer sustain the expenses of the state as the internally generated revenue was still below par in some states. Governors had two weeks ago declared that they could no longer cope with the N18, 000 minimum wage. The pronouncement caused a stir as Nigerians kicked against it. The governors of Rivers and Edo rejected the plan. Emerging from a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House Abuja, on Thursday, Mr. Yari said the governors were considering the nation’s econ...
