The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Yusuf Buratai, says the Nigerian Army is planning to create two new divisions.
The Chief of Army Staff, on Wednesday, said that the two divisions would be Division 8 in the northeast and Division 6 in the south-south.
General Buratai, who announced the step at a lecture on the ‘Nigerian Army Challenges and Future Perspectives’, said that the key priority of the Nigerian Army was to maintain operational readiness at all times.
He said the expansion would go hand in hand with the doctrinal review and development of new strategies to enable the Nigerian Army perform its statutory duty of protecting the nation’s integrity .
General Buratai, however, said that the expansion would need the recruitment of more manpower for the Nigerian Army – which is embarking on a recruitment drive of 12,000 personnel yearly to meet the manpower requiems.
While seeking the improvement of platforms for the Nigerian Air force, which provides air support for the army in the fight against Boko Haram, General Buratai also said he had plans for an air battalion.
The plans of the Nigerian Army are no doubt lofty and would be beneficial to the success of the force’s internal security operations.

Army To Establish Two New Divisions
5 Reasons Why Men Are Attracted To Shy Girls
We are under no obligation to be with a certain kind of person. We can fall in love with whoever we want and look for whatever traits that we like. Everyone enjoys this authority and ends up having their preferences. Men have all kinds of choices when it comes to woman. Obviously, we are different so we want different kind of people in our lives. However, there is always a trend among men to be inclined towards shy girls. They find them simplistic, pretty and very feminine. Most men have a thing for such women and here are a few reasons why:
Mysterious
What men admire the most in women is mystery. They are often into shy girls because they find them very subtle and away from everyone else. They will not reveal much about themselves. They will always look like those feeble beings that tend to stay quiet. They won’t express that easily, and they will literally have to make efforts to read and understand them better. This kind of personality traits makes them run behind shy girls because of their curiosity.
Reserved
Men appreciate the fact that shy girls are reserve. People complain that times have changed and people are much more different now. However, most men still want a woman who is just open to them and secretive to everyone else. They don’t want a loud woman who talks her heart out to everyone. They like exclusivity and that is something that a shy girl gives to them in life. Therefore, they want to belong to someone who will be reserved with everyone else expect them.
Strong
A lot of mistake shy girls for being weak and feeble. They assume that a little issue or scolding will send them running into their rooms crying. However, they cannot be wrong enough. Those who stay quiet and interact the least, observe the most. They don’t talk much but they notice little things about people and tend to keep a keen eye on their surroundings. They are, as a result, stronger. Hey can take in a lot because they understand how things work. You cannot assume that they will break in a moment, just because they don’t talk much. They are stronger than you think.
Surprise
Men always prefer girls because they like the surprise package that they are. To the outside world, they will be this shy person who will not talk much or interact much. However to the man she genuinely loves, she will be completely something else. She will not let the world see this side of her and it will be exclusively reserved for the guy that she is with. Her original chirpy nature will be uncommon to everyone. She will be smart, funny and hyper active in front of her partner and he will go crazy for her even more just because of the surprise package that she happens to be.
Feminine
Womanhood is beautiful. As a woman, I know how absolutely wonderful it is to be a woman. Men love it too. They like softness, shyness and prettiness. They believe that the reserved and shy nature of a girl makes her even more beautiful and they tend to become crazier for her. To them, having a feminine girlfriend/partner is very important. Most men do not want a loud girl who is no different from men. Men want women who are sweet and can be strong when required.
Economist Says Monetary Policy Inconsistency Unsettles People, Business
An economist, Austin Nweze, has criticised the recent decision of the Federal Government of Nigeria on the monetary policy of the nation.
This follows the recent decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to discontinue its sales of foreign exchange to the Bureau de Change operators and allowing banks to accept foreign currency cash deposits from their customers.
Mr Nweze said the inconsistency of the monetary policy had unsettled people and businesses.
“Companies are waiting, hoping that the CBN will reverse itself. Some companies I know have left the country because of this kind of policy,” he said.
The economist urged policy makers to make policies that will forecast future complications from the start.
“They should be far thinking to know the implication from the beginning; to know the implication to the economy, to the people before you engage yourself in this kind of policy.”
Mr Nweze, however, believes that the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, wants to develop the manufacturing sector, but expresses worries that the capacity to take risk is not there.
“His comments shows that he wants the manufacturing sector to thrive in this country but doesn’t want to take a risk or maybe he doesn’t have the peril to take that kind of risk.”
The economist suggested that the CBN should meet with other stakeholders to deliberate on the type of economy on ground and what they want to achieve.
He also criticised the method being used in the anti-corruption fight, saying the government should focus on other things.
“All we see is expose. The institutions should be allowed to fight this thing and the government should focus on other things,” Nweze said.
He added that ‘all problem is not really corruption, all corruption lies in education’.

Senate Investigates ‘Missing 2016 Budget’ Claim
The Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges has begun investigation of claims that the 2016 budget is missing from the chamber.
This was disclosed to reporters by the Chairman of the committee, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, after Wednesday’s legislative proceedings in the National Assembly in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
While addressing reporters, the Senate Majority Leader, Senator Ali Ndume, also described as ‘untrue’, the claim that the budget was missing.
A federal lawmaker, Senator Enyinaya Abaribe, earlier at plenary, raised a point of order demanding that the Senate should look into media reports on the whereabouts of the 2016 budget.
After his observation, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, gave the assurance that the budget would be distributed to the lawmakers at the upper chamber on Thursday ahead of the debate on the financial plan on Tuesday, January 19.
While confusion edges the whereabouts of the 2016 budget in the Senate, the clerk of the lower chamber displayed the budget on the floor.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Yakubu Dogara, also maintained that the budget was not removed from the House.
On Tuesday, the Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, Honourable Abdulmumin Jibrin, said that there was no truth to insinuations that the 2016 budget document is missing.
He said that the claims may have been inspired by the initial insufficiency of the copies of the budget available to all the lawmakers.
“As far as I am concerned, that story does not hold water. We were expecting copies to be printed and sent to the National Assembly but there was a bit of delay.
“As at yesterday, I can confirm to you that the Appropriation Committee in the House received a lot of copies of the budget. By the time the Clerk counted it today, it was not sufficient to go round members.
“I spoke with the Minister of Planning earlier today [Tuesday] and he assured me that before the end of today he will deliver the remaining copies.
“For the soft copy I also reminded him and he sent it to me and I handed it over to the House,” he explained.
Honourable Jibrin said the rumour of missing budget may have been triggered by the delay in the production of more copies of the budget.
“You should realise that we have a new government in place and I think that there is little issue of communication gap and they are trying to get themselves settled. We should be able to excuse them and support the President wherever there is a bit of limitation from his own side,” he told Channels Television’s correspondent, Charles Eruka.
The 2016 national financial plan was presented before a joint session of the National Assembly on Tuesday, December 22, 2015 by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Becoming the first Nigerian President to personally carry out this task in recent years, Buhari explained that the 6.07 trillion Naira budget would focus on addressing youth unemployment and cater for the vulnerable as well as reiterated that Nigeria remains committed to diversification to build and reflate the economy.
Newcastle 3-3 Man Utd: Analysis,Pictures and EPL Round-up
Manchester United were lucky not to be beaten by Newcastle on Tuesday night as goals from Wayne Rooney and Jesse Lingard were not enough to give Britain's biggest club a much desired three points. Louis Van Gaal admitted pre-match that even he got bored watching his side. So were there stifled yawns all round at St James' Park? Not a bit of it.
The neutrals would say this is the most thrilling and entertaining match Manchester United have played this season despite playing a draw because of it's swashbuckling end to end nature of football that saw both keepers put in the shift most of the time.
United had won their last two matches against Newcastle and at half time it seemed to be heading that way before goals from Newcastle players Wijnaldum,Mitrovic and Dummet sent Newcastle's home ground into splinters.
Wayne Rooney scored the first goal via a well deserved penalty before youngster Jesse Lingard doubled the scoreline in the 38th minute but goals from Wijnaldum and Aleksandr Mitrovic in the next 40 minutes ensured that the last twenty minutes was action packed and filled with frantic moments.
Wayne Rooney, much often criticized this season as a spent force scored a spectacular goal in the 79th minute but with a minute to go homegrown lad Dummet gave the travelling Man Utd fans something to ponder about. Will the Louis van Gaal experiment still continue?
Other EPL Results
-Bournemouth 1-3 West Ham. Eddie Howe's men were shocked at home by West Ham who demolished Bournemouth in this four goal thriller.

Presidency reacts to missing budget, says Nigerians should hold N/Assembly responsible
Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba has asked Nigerians to direct all their questions about the missing soft and hard copies of the 2016 budget to the National Assembly. According to Garba, nobody can withdraw the budget from the National Assembly except President Buhari.
Senator Ali Ndume had announced to his colleagues during plenary today that the budget was missing.
"Nobody, except the president, can withdraw the budget. As far as we know, he (the president) has not done that. The copies in their hundreds have been delivered to both chambers of the National Assembly. By tradition, once the budget is submitted, it ceases to be our property. Enquiries as to where it is should be directed to the appropriate quarters", Shehu said.
