Boko Haram Top Commander, Abakar Ali, Captured In Cameroon

One of the top commanders of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, identified as Abakar Ali, has been captured by Cameroonian soldiers.

According to a reliable source of SaharaReporters, the armed forces of Nigeria’s neighbours have also recovered a huge cache of arms, ammunition and equipment from the Islamist fighters in the course of the operation.

Abakar Ali, also known as “Mustapher Umar” had the following weapons in his possession:  5 machine guns, 14 rifles, 4 rocket launchers, 24 rockets, 6 Kalashnikov (AK) assault rifles, 60 magazines for Kalashnikovs  (AKs), 4 automatic pistols. As concerns the ammunition then it included over 500 9mm ammo, 469 12.7mm bullets, 4,454 7.62 mm ammunition, 1,491 5.56 mm ammunition, 822 ammunition of 7.62 mm, 6 grenades, 28 rocket launcher chargers.

Among the seized accessories for military purposes the army found pincers, tweezers and knives.

The information above has been conveyed to the reporters via telephone by a mid-level Nigerian military officer, who is serving with a multi-national force. The force operates in a strategic area close the Nigeria-Cameroon border.

The officer informed that Cameroonian soldiers captured Boko Haram commander Ali along with two other sect members in the northern Cameroonian town of Kousseri.

It has been further learnt that Ali coordinated and led terrorist’s attacks in the border towns between Nigeria and Cameroon. The arrested Boko Haram commander was travelling between distant insurgent’s camps in the area, planned strategic moves and gave orders to initiate devastating attacks that targeted mostly civilians.

 READ ALSO: 

The Nigerian officer stated that the Cameroonian military was expected to share intelligence with their Nigerian counterparts regarding any confessions made by the captured terrorist during interrogation. He added that Nigerian security agencies are likely to learn more about Mr. Ali’s linkages with others in Boko Haram’s cells in Nigeria’s northeast area.

It would be noted that the Nigerian Army might have scored a decisive point in a war against Boko Haram after liquidating Shekau’s imposter: the man who was playing the role of the mysterious leader of the sect in all the latest videos by terrorists.

Australian negotiator, Davis, Reveals More About Boko Haram

Australian negotiator, Davis, who has been a middleman between the leadership of the Boko Haram sect and the Nigerian Government, has pleaded with the group to see the death of their leader as an avenue to put an end to their operations in Nigeria.

Davis who made this known in an interview according to Punch has advised Boko Haram members to release the kidnapped Chibok girls, and also return to being normal human beings, living a normal, terrorist-free live. He also revealed that the Boko Haram group has used more than one ‘fake Shekau’.

READ ALSO:

In the interview, he made it known that none of the people mentioned as Boko Haram sponsors were in anyway corroborated by any political party and that no political party has also been pointed at by Boko Haram to be a fueling source for the group.

Below are excerpts from the interview:

A senior member of the European Parliament, Franz Obermayr, alleged that the opposition party in Nigeria could be sponsoring Boko Haram by channeling European Parliament financial aid to Boko Haram in the North East of Nigeria. Do you have any such evidence?

I have never heard any political party mentioned by any Boko Haram leader as funding or being associated with Boko Haram.

The Boko Haram commanders have only mentioned individuals like former Governor Sheriff. I heard Sheriff was APC and now PDP but that is irrelevant to me.

I have never mentioned political parties in my discussions with Boko Haram. The names of individual sponsors were given by Boko Haram leaders, not their political party association.

What sort of sponsorship has been mentioned by Boko Haram that they have received?

Former governor Sheriff was specifically mentioned many times. Specifically for example, Sheriff was mentioned as sponsoring trips of the boys to the Lesser Hajj. There, the boys are “reorientated”.

In effect they are recruited to Boko Haram. When they return to Nigeria the recruits are then taken off for further reorientation by which they mean teaching and for training. Some of the training took place in Mali by Tuareg leaders but now more training is conducted locally.

Could mere funding for Lesser Hajj by the assumed sponsors have manifested in the high level of sophistication that the sect has assumed today?

Funds are provided to purchase weapons. This is sometimes transferred through the Central Bank of Nigeria to a person in Cairo who provides the weapons and also provides military uniforms.

At other times vehicles are purchased in Benin for example and driven into Nigeria where they are sold for cash. They do not mind taking a loss on the sale price as by this method they can obtain cash in Nigeria without a direct link to the sponsor.

This person in Cairo, is he an Egyptian? Why are you not able to disclose his identity to the security agents for necessary action?

No, he is Nigerian. He is a Kanuri who has fought with Boko Haram and now associates with a network of jihadists. I have given all his details to the DG-SSS.

What sort of vehicles do they purchase?

VW Golf was mentioned as a favourite. They can sell these very easily in Nigeria. They do keep some to use for suicide bombing. Some time ago they told me one sponsor pledged six Hilux vehicles for the suicide bombers.

You have heard that a “fake” Shekau was killed last week in Kondunga. Do you believe what the military is claiming that the man killed was Shekau or possibly a “fake” Shekau?

I continue to believe that Shekau was killed on or about June 19, 2013 when we were deeply engaged in peace discussions. I have had so many senior commanders tell me that Shekau is dead. It was several weeks after that a Shekau video appeared on YouTube. When I viewed that video with JAS leaders they immediately said, “That boy.

We have used him before.” They were totally dismissive of any claim that Shekau was still alive. They referred to the person in the video as the “fake Shekau”. Some months later one of the senior commanders told me the name of the fake Shekau was Abdul Mutallif. The commander who named him was the one who wrote the script that the fake Shekau reads from in the videos.

But I have heard they have used more than one fake Shekau. In July this year I was told the fake Shekau is Isa Damasaka. Earlier in June they referred to him as Bashir.

We had been in communication with him over the release of the Chibok girls. Isa Damasaka is one of the names the military has released when identifying the man killed at Kondunga last week. He has also been identified as Bashir Mohammed so I am confident this man is indeed the fake Shekau.

However, I do not know if Abdul Mutallif is another name he used or there is another fake Shekau named Abdul Mutallif who may still be alive. I have no doubt we will know soon so we await a new video by another fake Shekau.

The man who was captured at Kondunga last week was a great source of information about Boko Haram sponsors. He was captured alive. The military are too quick to execute captured Boko Haram leaders. This man could have revealed so much about Boko Haram and its sponsors that may have brought a quick end to the terrorism.

There are some reports that many Boko Haram fighters have surrendered in recent days. You want to say something on this?
This is an indication that Boko Haram commanders now understand that they have been fooled. They have followed a “fake” Shekau. Boko Haram fighters have died following a fake Shekau and fake teaching.

READ ALSO: What I Know About Australian Negotiator – Asari Dokubo Opens Up

The political sponsors have led these boys to believe that they are purifying Islam, purging the country of corruption by slaughtering people. In fact the political sponsors of Boko Haram are corrupt politicians seeking power and more wealth. The sponsors epitomise all that the Boko Haram fighters are seeking to eliminate from Nigeria.

So what is next for Boko Haram?


The death of the fake Shekau shows how the fighters have been duped and totally misled by the sponsors.

The fighters and commanders would be wise to take this opportunity to reach out to the government for a peace dialogue.

If they do not believe they can have a peace dialogue without being captured and executed the alternative message I have for the commanders is this: Your sponsors will use you and sacrifice you so they can gain power. Set the captive girls free and walk away from Boko Haram while you still have the opportunity.

Meanwhile, 50 Boko Haram members were arrested while trying to move from Damboa area of Bornu state to Gombe in a goat truck earlier this week.

Its Good To Be A Virgin!! See The 13 Advantages Of Virginity

im_a_virgin_maternity_tshirtIt’s a mixture of medical and social advantages. 1. STI / STDs: There is no way a virgin an be infected with Se*ually Transmitted Infections / Diseases 2. HIV-AIDS: There is no way a virgin can have AIDS or HIV infection, which is transmitted by intimate interactions. She may still be at risk with the blood infection through cut skin etc but this last category forms only 5% or less of HIV infections. 3. Unwanted Pregnancies: There is no way a virgin can become pregnant. 4. Falling in love: A virgin does not fall in love with any and all persons ho comes her way the way non-virgin do and therefore make some avoidable mistakes. To most virgins, love is not blind; it has some sense, although it may be a little vision impaired. 5. Lust: Most of the activities of non-virgins are borne out of lust which we shall define here as an exaggeration of the feeling of love to such a point that it becomes closer to hate than love. Most people have seen how those in ‘lust’ have harmed their objects of affection in the name of jealousy or anger etc. True love is calm and never violent and never wants to harm. What teenagers call ‘crush’, infatuation’ etc are just Unclad lust. And most sexually abnormal behaviors, which tend to inflict harm, are all borne out of lust and not love. Here we define anything abnormal as one that provides more harm to the biology of the individual (that is his true nature), than good. 6. Love: There is a lot of true love in virgin marriages. A woman who marries as a virgin rarely sees, or complains of problems as often as the non-virgin. Sometimes (or most times) in interpersonal relationships, it is our perception of situation that created problems which ordinary do not exist. 7. Getting married: It is difficult to find a virgin who has a problem getting married and usually at very early age which biology teaches is the optimal time for conception and establishing long and lasting relationship. For most female this must be under 25 years. A woman of the age of 27 and above is considered in medical science to be past her prime of having safe first conception. 8. Preparation for marriage: Virgins tend to be better prepared for marriage than non-virgins because of excitement. The non-virgins are worried about the future and have to make conscious effort to let their marriage work if they so wish. 9. Fun: There is lot of fun and excitement for the virgin couple on wedding night. I know a couple he spent two nights trying to break a thick hymen. The bride jokingly told the groom to please hire someone to do it for him if he cannot perform. 10. Respect from Husband: Most men tend to respect virgins throughout their marriage vows. Virgins rarely have break up marriages. I am yet to see a man who will divorce a woman whom he married as a virgin. 11. Intimate deviation: It is difficult to define deviation in intimate behavior but we can say it is any form of intimate behavior that causes biological harm. But it is impossible to see a true virgin involved in any form of intimate behavior that may be considered deviant by any standard. 12. Infertility: It is difficult to find a woman who got married as virgin having problems getting pregnant. Although there may be some born with infertility problem, but the acquired ones are not found in virgins. For example STIs which cause infertility by scarring reproductive organs in both male and female are no found in virgins. 13. Beauty: The beauty of an innocent woman is indescribable. It is like new rose. So if you’ve Lost your Virginity be you Man or a Woman, Its gone and its gone!!! Not even Ctrl + Z can bring it back *Tongue Out* Enjoy your Day!!! – See more at: http://www.naijaloaded.com.ng/2014/09/26/good-virgin-see-13-advantages-virginity/#sthash.njMgsFvM.dpuf

I Disowned My Father – Ramsey Noauh Speaks

Nollywood A-list actor, Ramsey Nouah, has finally come to the conclusion that he has no father figure in his life and as such, he does not reckon with the man that abandoned him and his mother when he was a little boy.
RAMSEY-NOAH3.jpg-BIG3Ramsey whose father is apparently a white man going by his complexion, has made good of his life and has shown that such a circumstance should nit stop one from achieving anything he sets his mind to. In an interview with SaharaTV during a movie shoot, the Nigerian movie lover boy was shown a photo of his alleged siblings and a man who is said to be his father and asked him if he recognizes them. The actor who seemed angry at the question and the photos, reportedly replied that his mother never told him about any siblings and the man in the picture will never and is not recognized by him as his father, since a man who abandoned an innocent child and the poor mother is never fit to be a father.

She was later busted. Waconzy posed with those dollars in his hands some days back, claiming he made $150,000 in his tour in the US, for shows we didn’t hear of.

How to Kiss Your Crush Perfectly: 10 Easy Steps

SlCPsbIinbipyWdUrH1D2dde1Kissing is an art and it pretty much decides what your better half thinks about you. Kissing helps us judge potential partners and plays a vital role in a partner staying around, which means that it’s very important to be good at kissing if you want your girl or guy to stay around or impress them. Here are some very important things to keep in mind so that the first kiss doesn’t result in a stalemate! Setting Up for Success Step 1. Make sure you have good breath! Nobody wants to taste garlic or other icky flavors after the kiss, as this can be a major turn off. Before the date or when you see her, brush your teeth and tongue and use mouth wash! To maintain good breath try drinking water on the date instead of soft drink. You can also suck on a mint or chew minty gum for a few minutes mid-way through the date.

[caption id="attachment_3911" align="aligncenter" width="580"]make sure you have a good breath make sure you have a good breath[/caption]

Step 2. Flirt a little! This can help set the mood. Tell her that what she is wearing looks pretty; she will appreciate it! If she playfully punches you a lot or teases you in a friendly manner, then she wants you to touch her. Stay in safe territory like quickly grabbing her hand when you want to go show her something; she will appreciate not having to do the whole awkward looking at each other and blushing thing. Step 3. Time it right. Getting good timing will make it a lot easier. A good time for a kiss is at the end of a date, when you’re generally saying goodbye, when you’re out for a walk, or after you’ve just finished watching a movie. You’ll notice that all of these times are pretty private and should pretty much just be the two of you. This is important! You should choose a private time for a first kiss.

[caption id="attachment_3912" align="aligncenter" width="540"]Time it right! Time it right![/caption]

Step 4. Ask! It seems weird because we’re only used to seeing the super charming people in movies kissing, but asking a girl if you can kiss her is a great way to show her that you respect her and care about her feelings. She’ll appreciate it! Nailing the Technique Step 5. Move your face slowly toward hers. This is a universal signal that you’re moving in for a kiss. This gives her the option to let you know that she’s uncomfortable and will help keep you from getting slapped. Don’t close your eyes until you are just about to kiss her.

[caption id="attachment_3914" align="aligncenter" width="600"]Move your face slowly toward hers. Move your face slowly toward hers.[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_3910" align="aligncenter" width="500"]SlCPsbIinbipyWdUrH1D2dde1 Move slowly and follow her lead.[/caption]

Step 6. Try a simple close-mouthed kiss. Don’t use tongue the first time you kiss a girl. Make sure you close your eyes right before you start the kiss. Tilt your head. Move in sideways a little. If your head is just as upright as her, you’ll bump your nose into her nose instead of your lips into her lips. Step 7. Move slowly and follow her lead. If she’s a deep, passionate kisser, she’ll hold your lips in hers for a long while; you won’t need to move your lips much. You use your hands. If you want, cup her face with your hand and slowly stroke her cheek with your thumb. Make sure you still have one arm firm around her waist or lower back.
Step 8. Be tender and loving. Kissing is like a silent conversation: You want to be kind, gentle, forgiving, and you want the other person to keep coming back for more! Step 9. Breathe. You’d be surprised how many people forget to breathe when they aren’t used to kissing! If you want to keep kissing her but you’re having trouble finding a break to breathe, try moving away from kissing her mouth to kiss her cheek or forehead. Step 10. Stop when you’re ready. Slowly pull away after a few seconds (or minutes!) and open your eyes. Congratulations! Each kiss after the first one is so much easier. You’ve reached the top of the mountain. Congratulations!

CNPP Accuses NYSC Of Extortion Over New N4,000 Charge

The Chairman of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) in Bayelsa State, Lucky Akpeli, has called on students to protest against the new fee meant for the collection of NYSC call-up letters.

[caption id="attachment_3897" align="aligncenter" width="600"]File Photo of Corps Members File Photo of Corps Members[/caption]

According to Sahara Reporters, Mr Akepli made it known today that the N4,000 charged prospective corps members by the authorities of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to obtain call-up letters is “outright extortion.

He expressed his concerns over the issue saying that Federal Government agencies, NYSC inclusive, should take advantage of citizens. “It is likely that Nigerian students will resist it,”he furthered. In fact, I am calling on Nigerian students to stand up against this kind of decision”.

It would be recalled that in a bid to curb the spread of Ebola Virus in Nigeria, the directorate of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) recently announced that the 2014 Batch B orientation program will last for about 1 to 2 days instead of the usual 21-day program.

Ikuforiji Speaks On His acquittal

Few hours after the Federal High Court in Lagos, western Nigeria acquitted him of money laundering charges, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, has said that he had learnt his lessons.

The lawmaker, while speaking at a press conference that lasted only a few minutes at the House of Assembly on Friday, stated that the biggest lesson he learnt from his three-year travail in the hands of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is that perseverance pays.

Ikuforiji noted that his perseverance in the face of daunting challenges, his faith and hope paid off for him.

[caption id="attachment_3895" align="aligncenter" width="800"]tcMn2ijn51298VI52TF8LcHJ Lagos Speaker Ikuforiji[/caption]

He added that the victory was jointly shared among the lawmakers and staff of the House as well as the state government and journalists who, he said,stood on the side of the truth, despite being bombarded with lies”.

“Victory is sweet but I have learnt to wait patiently for it. It is a victory for our party, the All Progressives Congress, and everyone who has stood solidly by me in the last three years.

“The struggle goes on; our work is not done. While we savour this victory, we must remember that we still have a lot of work to do.

“This victory is a call to action. As the 2015 general election approaches, we must rally round to ensure victory for our party at all levels. Our politics should not divide us.

“To those who have attempted but failed to humiliate us and defeat the course of justice, I bear no grudge.

“However, I ask them to join me in the big task ahead. By pronouncing me not guilty, in fact, by dismissing the bases on which the needless trial was wrought, the Federal High Court has renewed my commitment to the struggle for a greater Lagos State.

“I am not tired; the task of governance must go on and I will continue to serve Lagos, its people and our country to the best of my ability.

“I promise to never betray the confidence reposed in me; today’s victory is historic; it will spur me to work harder for the growth of our dear state and progress of our people.

“My victory today compels me to rededicate myself to the arduous task of lifting Lagos State to higher heights. It also propels me further in my personal and political struggle to protect the enviable legacy od good governance, sterling leadership and unmatched excellence for which Lagos State has come to be known,” the speaker said.


It would be recalled that Ikuforiji was Friday acquitted of a N600 million money laundering charges after a lengthy trial period at the Federal High Court, Lagos.

The speaker is among those nursing ambition to contest for the governorship election in Lagos State next year.
