OPC Leader Warns South West On Boko Haram

The leader of Odua People’s Congress, OPC, Otunba Gani Adams, has warned over the possibility of the Boko Haram insurgency to spill over to western Nigeria if not properly curtailed.

According to Sunnewsonline, Adams made this statement while speaking at the Oranyan Festival held at the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi recently.

He said: “Indication is rife that Boko Haram has entered South West. Evidence of their incursion into the zone was the explosion in Apapa, Lagos, of which, Shekau, the Islamist sect leader, claimed responsibility.”

It was also gathered that the OPC leader advised political leaders in the South West to proffer a drastic solution to curtail the Boko Haram menace in the region.

He berated the governors in the South West for their nonchalant attitudes towards the Boko Haram menace, saying none of them had called him, as the leader of the OPC, to discuss proactive measures to curtail the spill over.

“I have been to 51 countries launching OPC. I’ve just returned from Europe and what they were asking me is on the issue of Boko Haram.

“We need to organize a stakeholders’ meeting on security in order to chart a way forward on how to secure our region against Boko Haram.

“The issue of Boko Haram is a collective responsibility. Everyone must harmonise his or her potentials to curtail the menace as the sect members cannot be fought from afar as their identity is hidden,” Adams opined.

MADNESS!! Man Puts Metal Balls In His Penis For Better Sex

The man was advised by a friend to put the balls in his penis to enhance his sexual prowess.

A man in Malaysia is said to have embedded 10 metal ball bearings in his penis so he could have better sex.

The 44-year-old, identified simply as Ramli, was advised to undergo the procedure by a friend who claimed to have done it too, The Times Livereports.

However, after putting the balls into his penis, he couldn’t get an erection for 6 months and he had to have them removed.

He said:

“My private part swelled up for three days but I endured the pain and didn’t see a doctor,”

Ramli however said that the trick worked for a while and he satisfied many women but after he began to feel pain, a doctor warned that he could become impotent.

The ball bearings had to be surgically removed after Ramly supposedly peeled off part of the skin with a knife and planted the ball bearings around the base of his penis.

Boko Haram: Terrorists Kill 20 In Borno, 6 In Cameroon

Reports have it that Boko Haram militants have killed at least 20 traders in Borno state and 6 other people in neighbouring Cameroon.

Boko Haram terrorists are said to have launched an attack on a Bornomarket leaving at least 20 traders dead.

According to Sahara Reporters, a resident of Maiduguri, identified asTalatu Musa, said that the insurgents invadedMainok Market at about 1.20pm, yesterday September 19, 2014, and opened fire on the traders.

An unidentified number of people were also left injured by the incident.

Musa reportedly said:

“I boarded a Hummer bus from Jos and as soon as we arrived Mainok, at exactly 1.20pm, we heard heavy gunshots from the western part of the market and sporadic gunshots followed.”

“Hundreds of traders and residents fled the market in confusion, running to cross the highway to the other side. Vehicles passing through the town were also making attempts to flee the town. Many people were killed,”

“As I am speaking with you I can’t believe what I have seen today,”

Another eyewitness, James Bitrus said:

“Many people may have been killed. I can’t say the number precisely but many people were killed. From the way the militants were shooting at the crowd, the casualties should be many,”

“Vehicles were hitting one another and Boko Haram kept shooting,”

Meanwhile, AFP reports that the militants also attacked a village in the far north of Cameroon, killing 6 people.

According to an anonymous police source:

“Boko Haram appeared yesterday (Thursday) around 1900 (1800 GMT) at Assighassia,” “There followed an engagement between them and our soldiers. Two assailants were killed and one soldier was injured.”

The insurgents were reportedly not deterred as they attacked another village, Ganse, two hours later and killed four people.

A local leader said:

“They shot three people and slit the throat of another,” “As soon as we heard shots fired, we climbed the fence to flee into the brush,” he said.” The people killed were buried (on Friday) morning and we are looking for ways to leave the village because our security is no longer guaranteed.”

Cameroon shares a lengthy border with Nigeria, part of which is close to Borno state, leaving it subject to Boko Haram incursions. Thousands of Nigerians are also reported to have fled to the neighbouring country to escape the terrorists.

Police Commissioner Adenerele Shinaba said the attackers were shot dead by officers during a gun fight.

According to Vanguard, residents of the Kabuga area had reported hearing heavy gun fire between police and suspected Boko Haram suicide bombers at the premise of the Federal College of Education in the Kofar Kabuga area of the city.

The neighbourhood quickly became deserted, residents locked up their houses.  Lecturers and visitors to the school scampered for safety. The terrorist attack affected business as well, as shop owners in hurriedly closed businesses.

“They were obviously suicide bombers. One of our officers shot at one of the gunmen and the explosives on him went off, killing him on the spot,” Shinaba told AFP. The explosion allegedly ripped through the campus at about 2.00pm.

Commissioner Shinaba further added: “Police recovered explosives and two Kalashnikov assault weapons.”

Reportedly, most of the victims at the northern teacher training college were in a lecture hall, where the two gunmen ran and opened fire on students.

One of the students who was having lunch nearby and asked not to be identified, said he saw the gunmen dressed in black and heard them shouting for all female students to lie face down.

“They were saying (in pidgin English), ‘No be you say Boko Haram no they exist’ (Is it not you who say Boko Haram doesn’t exist?),” the witness added.

BBC Africa also confirmed that at least 17 people died during the carnage.

Catholic Church: 25 Towns Under Boko Haram Insurgents

As the Federal Government continues to wage war against terrorism in Nigeria, the Catholic church in Nigeria has announced that no fewer than 25 towns are under the outlawed Islamist group Boko Haram  in northern Nigeria.

According to Thisday report, the Catholic Church made the declaration on Wednesday 17 September, 2014 , saying three North-eastern states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa are currently under the control of the terrorist group.

Among the towns that are said to be under the control of the insurgents are: Damboa, Buni Yadi, Madagali, Gwoza, Gujba, Gulak, Bama, Gulani, Shuwa, Marte, Kukawa, Michika, Dikwa, Bularafa, Bazza, Gamboru Ngalla and Buni Gari.

Others are Banki, Bara, Pulka, Bumsa, Ashgashiya, Taltaba, Limankara and Njibulwa.

The Catholic Church informed that all the towns are being controlled conveniently by the Boko Haram  in Borno, Yobe and parts of Adamawa that make up the Catholic Diocese of Maiduguri

A statement released by the church stated that: “Right now we have close to 20 priests taking refuge in Yola.

“There are conflicting reports about Bama as to whether it is in the hands of the terrorists. But the number of civilians that have migrated into Maiduguri on foot from Bama, Kawuri and Konduga is suggestive that the terrorists have an upper hand in the fight.

“We are faced with a huge humanitarian crisis; people are sleeping on the streets in Maiduguri, despite the seven or more camps within the city for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

“The state government is doing its bit to provide for them but the number is overwhelming and the resources are limited.”

The church also warned that Maiduguri, the Borno State capital might be the next target of the Boko Haram sect following the fall of Bama which is about 71 kilometres away and Konduga, the next major town is Maiduguri.

Speaking on the activities of the Boko Haram sect in the Catholic Diocese of Maiduguri over the last one month,  the Archbishop of the Diocese, Oliver Dashe Doeme, said: “The last one month has seen the intensification and aggressive devastation of the Boko Haram activities in northern, central and southern parts of the Catholic Diocese of Maiduguri. The brutality and callousness with which people are killed can only be compared to that of the ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Many of our people are being forced out of their ancestral homes, villages and towns.

“Right now, thousands are living in caves on the mountains, some in the forest; the few who were able to escape are being absorbed by friends and relatives in Maiduguri, Mubi and Yola. Thousands have managed to escape into Cameroun and are living under very difficult conditions of lack of food, shelter and medication.”

He complained about the altitude of  Nigerian security men, saying: “What is very discouraging in the whole scenario is the attitude of the military whom we mortgage and depend on for security.

“In the face of  Boko Haram insurgents’ attacks, they flee and ask civilians to do the same.

“There is no doubt that the morale of the security men and women is at its lowest ebb in the North-eastern part of Nigeria.”

The Archbishop also condemned the Federal Government for not doing enough to tackle insurgency in the northeast of Nigeria, adding that,“there is a total disconnection between what our so called leaders in Abuja report in the media and the reality on ground. We wish they have the courage to fly into these areas and see things for themselves.”

“Our people are dying every day and in most cases with no one to bury them decently, they are left to rot; their homes and properties looted; they have become slaves and prisoners in their fatherland, here is a government that cannot safe guard the lives of its citizens and indeed life has become so cheap that it can be wasted any moment. We used to think that salt is the cheapest commodity in the market, well, life is cheaper now especially in the North-eastern part of Nigeria.”

The Boko Haram insurgency is believed to have killed no fewer than 5,000 people and caused the displacement of over 650, 000 others in northern Nigeria since 2009.

BOKO HARAM: Gov. Kwankwaso Blasts Jonathan

 Kano state Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso has taken a swipe at President Goodluck Jonathan over his lack of political will to fight insurgency in the country

[caption id="attachment_1749" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso[/caption]

Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State on Sunday during a media chat with journalists in Benin said that President Goodluck Jonathan rather than fight the issue of insecurity in the country said: “Mr President has perfected plans to witch-hunt All Progressives Congress, APC, governors due to his presidential ambition.”

Kwankwaso described the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as “haven for criminals,” stating that as a result of the “misdirection, lack of focus” that made him leave the ruling party for the PDP for the APC.

He alleged that the “the President is busy beaming searchlight on opposition governors and APC leaders to accuse them of corruption just because he wants to become President for a second term while our children are dying in the North as insecurity and poverty have become the order of the day.

“That is the plot of the PDP but if they try to intimidate the opposition, they will not like what they will get.“The issue of insecurity in this country and many other countries requires everybody from all the political parties, people from all walks of life to work together to ensure that extremists, insurgents and criminals are defeated in Nigeria and elsewhere.”

Meanwhile Kwankwaso who said the Nigeria Army was competent expressed his confidence in the ability of the Military was competent to tackle the insurgency problem in the country.

“ I still believe that Nigeria has the military might to stop insurgency in the North East. Our military still remains competent and regarded as the best on the continent, going by their performances in peacekeeping missions on the continent and beyond.“

He, however, urged Nigerians to join in the fight against terrorism and the Federal Government to mobilise all its resources to ensure peace reigned in the North East of the country saying:

The challenge of insecurity in the country today is one that requires the support of everyone, irrespective of political party or tribe.

“Any right thinking Nigerian and friends of Nigeria must condemn what is happening in the North East today. We need a united and strong Nigeria where everyone goes about his or her legitimate business without fear.”

He said as a result of the incessant attacks by the Boko Haram sect said more than four million people have been displaced in the North East.

Meanwhile Governor Kwankwaso was in Benin to felicitate with Chief Gabriel Igbinedion on his 80th birthday celebration.

Kwankwaso, who is the present Governor of Kano state was a former Minister of Defence between 2003 and 2007.

It would be recalled recently, Governor Kwankwaso said President Jonathan has failed in his duty to put an end to terrorism rather he accused the president of spending time comparing himself with other first class leaders across the world rather than put an end to terrorism.

British Aid worker, David Haines, Beheaded by ISIS

The Islamic State yesterday released a video showing the beheading of British aid worker, David Haines, who was abducted in Syria last year. Before he was executed, the father of 2 blamed British Prime Minister David Cameron for his death. He said;

“My name is David Cawthorne Haines. I would like to declare that I hold you David Cameron entirely responsible for my execution. You entered voluntarily into a coalition with the United States against the Islamic State, just as your predecessor Tony Blair did, following a trend amongst our British Prime Minsters who can’t find the courage to say no to the Americans. Unfortunately it is we the British public that in the end will pay the price for our Parliament’s selfish decisions.’

We all know they force these hostages to make these statements but why even say it if you know they will still kill you? Haines is the third westerner to be beheaded in the last few weeks.

Before executing his hostage, the Islamic State militant called Jihadi John by the media, said;

“This British man has to the pay the price for your promise, Cameron, to arm the Peshmerga against the Islamic State. Ironically he has spent a decade of his life serving under the same Royal Air Force that is responsible for delivering those arms.

‘Your evil alliance with America which continues to strike the Muslims of Iraq and most recently bombed the Haditha Dam will only accelerate your destruction, and playing the role of the obedient lapdog, Cameron, will only drag you and your people into another bloody and unwinnable war.’

Responding to the video, British Prime Minister David Cameron said

“This is a despicable and appalling murder of an innocent aid worker. It is an act of pure evil. My heart goes out to the family of David Haines who have shown extraordinary courage and fortitude throughout this ordeal. We will do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes,” Cameron said.

ISIS Advises Boko Haram On Tactics – Report

Fresh international report based on the gathered intelligence adds to the growing concerns that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Nigeria’s Boko Haram have established direct links.

Leadership reports with reference to the recently published article by The Independent that the ISIS, notorious worldwide for its bloody activities, advises the dreaded insurgents operating in Nigeria on strategy and tactics.

According to the quote derived from the British report,

“Intelligence agencies are concerned that what were once symbolic links between ISIS and Boko Haram have now developed into a practical relationship with the Islamic State offering advice on strategy and tactics.”

It also states that following a series of successful seizures of towns in the North-East of the country, Boko Haram was “beginning to operate more like a conventional army in Borno and the neighbouring north-eastern states of Adamawa and Yobe”.

While the Nigerian military denies the breach of territorial integrity by insurgents and assures citizens of carrying out heavy counter-attacks, Nigeria Security Network (organization comprised of experts and academics) explains that “unless swift action is taken, Nigeria could be facing a rapid takeover of a large area of its territory reminiscent of Isis’s lightning advances in Iraq”, The Independent provides.

The report stressed the fact of serious interference after “a senior politician in Borno admitted that civil life in the state, home to three million people, has all but ground to a halt”.

In this statement the journalist apparently refers to the speech of the Secretary to Borno State Government (SSG) Ambassador Baba Ahmed Jidda, who declared on Monday that the substantial part of the state had been occupied by Boko Haram. He also lamented that the militants had basically paralyzed economic, commercial and social life in Borno.

It would be noted that talks alleging the close connection between the similarity of activities used by the ISIS and Boko Haram started making rounds after the Nigeria’s sect leader Abubakar Shekau had released the video where he claimed captured Gwoza town part of Islamic Caliphate.

It was suggested that Shekau imitated the ISIS moves, carrying out similar executions, kidnaps and finally attempting to establish caliphate in the seized territories.

Fears intensify as Boko Haram continue seizing new areas. According to the latest update provided by the Federal Government yesterday, the military recaptured the town of Bama following a week of violent fights with the insurgents. However some territories still remain under the militants’ control.

Three Stories Of Former Boko Haram Members

The first thing that today is associated with Boko Haram is terrorism. During its existence this group has earned a bad reputation due to the use of violence as a basic tool of its activities. The methods used by members of Boko Haram are very severe and require specific psychological qualities of the members. Not everyone is able to intimidate, kidnap and slaughter innocent people… This group has a strict discipline, and we can only guess how many members in Boko Haram remain silent and continue to do horrible things on the path of death.

However, we can recall some famous cases when Boko Haram members broke free from being brainwashed and left this sect. NAIJ.com recalls three different stories of such people.

1. Nasir Isiaku



The shocking confession of this man happened about 13 months ago, in August 2013. Nasir has reportedly dumped the Islamist sect and chose to convert to Christianity after spending 3 years with Boko Haram.

From confessions published by TheSun we learned that the 27-year-old men used to belong to one of the 6 major gangs of the sect called Shiite. This division has its members in such states as Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Zamfara, among others.

Apart from physical training Boko Haram commanders conduct extensive psychological training for the members in order to boost their readiness to fight.

In his words: “We were told that the more we kill the Christians, the greater will be our chances to enter the paradise of God. At the same time, our command referred to the Koran.

“Originally we were going to kill all the Christians in Kaduna and then kill those who live in the north.”

According to Isiaku, before each operation gang members drank “spiritual water” and, as a result, they become especially furious and could easily kill anyone, without much thinking. The sect members are convinced that this potion protects them from bullets.

“I do not remember how many people I killed. We shot in the legs and asked the victims if they would like to become a Muslim. When a person said “no”, we cut his throat like a goat. After the murder of a non-believer, we collected his blood and drank it. We believe that in this case, the spirits of the murdered will not come to haunt us in a dream. If we had no desire to drink blood, we only dipped fingers in it and then put them into mouths,” Nasir admitted.

When asked how he became a Christian, Isiaku told about “a man dressed in white” who appeared in his dream after which he decided to change his faith.

In his speech the former Muslim send a warning message for all the Christians, saying terrorists are determined to exterminate all the ‘infidels’ in Nigeria, not limiting to any particular area:

“I sincerely advise Christians to begin to prepare for war, to arm and “tighten their belts.” The Islamist terrorist sects are ready to go to war.”

2. Mustapha

The video message released by Emmanuel TV, run by Prophet T.B.Joshua, shocked thousands of Nigeria about 5 months ago. A self-acclaimed Boko Haram member appeared before the congregation of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) causing uproar.



He introduced himself as Mustapha from Yola, Adamawa State and confessed of being a Boko Haram member. The person continued his speech by explaining their plan on camera:

“We were five in number. We dropped at the junction opposite the church. There was a man who used to sell something opposite the church here. He is selling sweets, soap and cigarettes. I met the man and asked him to help me keep the bag I was carrying. It contained some instruments – bombs, to kill people.

“Later, we decided to sit down and eat before going on our mission here. Our plan was to take souls, to destroy at this Synagogue Church.”

However, whilst sitting down to eat with his colleagues at a restaurant opposite the popular church in Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos, Mustapha recounted a strange incident.

“They brought food for us and we were eating. At that place, they had television. We were watching the television and discussing. It was Emmanuel TV – I saw you (T.B. Joshua) preaching to people.

“By the time you prayed and laid hands on the screen, it was like you were there with us and you joined our midst. As you laid your hands on the screen, you laid your hands on our face. That was when confusion came between us; everybody scattered.”

This prompted Mustafa to come and make this confession.

After Mustapha’s words Joshua prayed and the young man fell to the floor. As he got up slowly from the floor, tears were in Mustapha’s.

“The spirit leading him to kill is gone,” Joshua declared to applause from the onlookers. The curse of Boko Haram has been removed from the man.

3. Hosea Bulus

The SCOAN repeated ‘confession’ of a Boko Haram member about 2 months later. At the end of the service held at T.B.Joshua’s church a “aggressive young man” stood forward and said:

“I am one of the Boko Haram. They said they would give me N2,000,000 if I blow up a church. Every church would be N2,000,000. They said they would give me a big house and a wife.”



When he was asked why he had come to the church, the man said: “I have listened to T.B. Joshua – that is why I am here.”

Moments later T.B. Joshua himself returned to the congregation and said he had heard the confession, called that “mind-boggling”.
The famous pastor continued the query and asked the man, who identified himself as Hosea Bulus, how he initiated into the group, to which he replied: “They gave me blood; they gave me charms. I took it inside food.” He added that after this the urge to kill and destroy entered him.

Addressing the congregation regarding T.B. Joshua said:

“One thing you must know – we are fighting evil spirits that steal, kill and destroy. Let us not fight with our neighbours. We have Muslim brothers and sisters. They are our neighbours. We live together and work together.”

According to the prophet, the problem is not about Muslims and Christians, but about “evil spirit”, saying that no one could bring himself to killing innocent lives without being under the influence of an ‘evil spirit’.

T.B. Joshua finally stated that he would not ask the man any further questions publicly so as not to undermine the intelligence Hosea would be able to provide to the relevant authorities. Then the man of God prayed for Hosea, who fell to his knees.

These stories shook the community. One may believe them or not. The thing which remains undoubtful is the morale that they carry. These episodes showed that many in the Boko Haram sect do not agree to continue to do evil. And the fact that Nazir, Mustafa and Hosea wanted to say about this publicly and furthermore do so in front of Christians indicates a serious need for repentance for their anti-human activities in Boko Haram.
