Maendeleo ya kweli na yenye tija kwa wengi yanaanzia kwako wewe binafsi, ili kudhibitisha kuwa ni kweli bofya picha hii.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the arrest of a top former government official for allegedly stealing more than $2bn (?1.3bn) meant for Boko Haram fight.

Col Sambo Dasuki, who was the national security adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan, has been accused of awarding phantom contacts to buy 12 helicopters, four fighter jets and ammunition.

But the equipment never arrived and the former government aide allegedly stole the cash. He has strongly denied the allegations.

A spokesman for President Buhari told the BBC that the corruption resulted in the needless deaths of thousands of Nigerians.

The country's soldiers have long complained that despite huge sums of money being spent on military hardware they were ill equipped to fight Boko Haram.

The Islamist group has killed thousands in the north of the east country in its pursuit of an Islamic state.

Never let a problem become an excuse. Put your Problem in Proper Perspective. What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed? Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they soar when others sink? The answer is very simple. It's all in how they perceive their problems.
