136 Nigerian policemen receive medals in Somalia

A total of 136 policemen from Nigeria have been awarded medals to mark the end of their duty tour in Somalia.
The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) disclosed this in a statement released to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The statement said the policemen participated at a medal parade on Tuesday to mark the end of their one-year duty term in the country.
“The officers were awarded medals at a ceremony presided over by the Deputy Special Police Commissioner of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). Somali Police Commissioner, Gen. Mohamed Sheikh Hassan Hamud was also present, with a delegation of Somali officials,” the statement said.
The Chairperson of the African Union Commission (DSRCC) in Somalia, Lydia Wanyoto, appreciated the Nigerian government for supporting the peace process.
She expressed gratitude to the Somali Security Forces for recognising Nigeria’s contribution.
“We are here because of Somalia. What you have done on behalf of the Somali government makes our work easy and also gives us the morale to work even harder. I want to thank you for the services you have provided, for volunteering to assist the people in Somalia,” she said.
On his part, Hamud commended the Nigeria police contingent for their contributions to the restoration of law and order in his country.
He said: “You have been good ambassadors and Somalia will not forget Nigeria standing side-by-side with its people and the Federal Government.”
The contingent, which would be replaced by another one, is the fifth unit to serve in Somalia under the AMISOM.

China positive about US negotiation remark on North Korea

China said on Thursday it was positive that the United States is open to resolving tensions over North Korea through talks.

The statement from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Defence Secretary Jim Mattis and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats described North Korea as “an urgent national security threat and top foreign policy

I’m different from young artistes – Majek Fashek

Since his return to the Nigerian music scene, veteran reggae maestro, Majek Fashek, has been on a conscious mission to once again stamp his feet on the music space, reclaiming his throne as the only musician in the world who can draw rain with his music fic. In a recent interview with HIPTV, the rain maker, as he is fondly called, claimed there is a cut clear difference between the quality of sound and music he makes and that of young artistes. According to Majek, “I make sound while all these young musicians make jam, I make good sound but they are always jamming, they don’t make good sound, they just jam. My song ‘Send down the rain’ was made over thirty years ago, but if you listen to it today, you will realize that the sound will appeal to both the old and equally the young ones because the sound is good and still relevant today, that is something the young musicians don’t have.” In a one-on-one chat with E-Daily , Majek explained that his statement in the inter
