The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Thursday September 1st, 2022 – World Letter Writing Day
World Letter Writing Day is all about paying tribute to the age-old form of communication; letter writing. World Letter Writing Day presents you with a great opportunity to reconnect with people that you may not have spoken to for quite some time now. It also helps you to think before you write. With modern connection forms, we don’t tend to reflect and think before we communicate with someone. However, a letter gives you the perfect opportunity to do this.
Buhari’s War On Terror by Kola King
In the run-up to the 2015 presidential elections, All Progressives Congress (APC) party candidate Muhammadu Buhari’s unique selling point was his background as a former general and former military head of state. Many believed he had what it takes to combat the war on terror. As it happened, he went on to win that election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). As soon as President Muhammadu Buhari assumed power, he gave a clear charge to the military high command to rout out Boko Haram in the North East region. Back then terrorism was confined to the North East region where about 2 million people were displaced from their ancestral lands and had become refugees in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. At that time, Boko Haram controlled around 20 local government areas, a territory the size of Belgium, in its bloody six-year-old campaign to carve out an Islamic state in religiously mixed Nigeria.
Indeed Buhari’s charge to the armed forces was a wake-up call. At that point in time, Boko Haram controlled local government areas in Borno and Yobe states where they had raised their flag and established their influence, power, and authority in those areas. As expected the armed forces swung into action and before long had recovered all LGAs from Boko Haram and also restored relative peace in those areas. Over time the armed forces had established relative peace in the North East, especially with the acquisition of the Tucano jets and more lethal military hardware. The Tucano jets have become a game changer in the war against terror in the northeast.

A thousand ways to commit suicide
