Welcome to world famous Chibok, home of over 250 abducted schoolgirls

Chibok has no access road, and residents had long feared militant may attack cars slowed by the dilapidated road
Before the heinous attack of Monday the April 14, in which over 250 secondary schools girls were taken captives by Boko Haram militants, only a handful of Nigerians outside of Borno State knew or ever heard of Chibok, a small town in the northeast state.
But three weeks after the raid that shocked the world, Chibok, a laidback town southeast of Maiduguri, Borno State capital, has lost all of its seeming solitude and now sits at the centre of a growing global spotlight, catapulted there by an atrocious crime the world has risen to condemn.
As attention focuses on the abducted girls, it has also helped frame the narrative of a town and its people so deprived and tucked far off, almost from the Nigerian civilisation.
According to the 2006 population census, Chibok Local Government Area has a population of 66,105 people spread across an area of about 1,350 km².
For a start, there is no road access to Chibok- no single asphalted road in the entire local council area. Traveling to Chibok is like groping in the dark, drivers often say, as they and other commuters often have to meander through contoured earth-road that could best be described as footpath or cattle route.
One government driver quite conversant with the area said “It has always been like this since 1970’s when I started as a government driver; each time we are told to get set for a trip to Chibok, it was like being told to get set for a trip to hell”.
A federal highway leading to the town has remained unattended to for years. The construction of the 20 kilometre Damboa-Chibok-Mbala road was approved in September 2009, and was to cost N1.24 billion.
That decision came after previous governments planned and failed to build the road. Ali Ndume, a senator, who was then a House of Reps member representing Gwoza, Damboa, Chibok federal constituency, claimed the 2009 contract was his achievement.
In 2013, the Borno state government included Mbala-Chibok-Damboa road amongst the 2500km roads that will link 33 towns in the state. The so-called government’s “comprehensive master plan” for rural roads was to gulp a total of N36 billion.
A few earthmoving equipment deployed to the road, still lie in its dirt, but nothing more has been done by the authorities.
A home to some of Borno State’s brightest and most outstanding public servants- at state and federal level- Chibok local government has remained one of the most obscured in the troubled northeast state.
But something is unique about Chibok. It is one of the most homogenous communities in the state where the people only share a single language (Chibok). Also, the local government has an exceptionally large Christian majority population of nearly 90 percent, amongst the highest in the Muslim-dominated state.
Government Secondary School, Chibok, where more than 250 girls were abducted by the Boko Haram militants is the only secondary school in the entire local government – a situation not uncommon in other parts of the state.
The school was first established in the mid-1970s as Women Teachers College which was to serve the people of Chibok, Damboa, Askira, Uba, Ashigir, Azir and even Gwoza. The locals of Chibok had to fight it out during that period when an attempt was made by the then government to move the school to Azir, a village in present day Damboa local government area.
In 1988, following the relaxed education policy on teachers colleges, the school was converted to a Government Girls Secondary School. At that time, some of the local government areas like Askira-Uba, Damboa and Gwoza had similar secondary institutions. So the new GGSS, Chibok now served as catchment centre for students from Chibok council area and those in Askira-Uba and Damboa councils whose villages are closer to Chibok town.
In 2011, due to the lack of any other secondary school in the entire local government, which often compelled parents to send their male wards to distant schools, the state ministry of education upgraded the school to a mixed institution, where both boys and girls are allowed to study together.
“The boys are on permanent day-students arrangement, while the girls still maintain their boarding school culture; only those that are from the Chibok town are at the liberty of choosing to come from their homes,” said a teacher who asked not to be named.
The school’s relatively high population is explained by its being used by the entire local government, the staff said.
“It is not usually common to have more than 100 or 200 students sitting for exams in a single school in other parts of the state; but here we have about 530 students that sat in the last exams, and more than 70 percent of them are girls”, the teacher added.
Though there are a handful of Muslims in Chibok town, there is no record of a religious conflict there. “It has always been a one-big-family affair for us; because we are all related,” a resident said.
Unlike most of the tribes in southern Borno which are purely non-Kanuri speaking- except those in Damboa whose language has a mixed grill of Kanuri and Marghi language-, the people of Chibok share a chieftaincy tradition that is purely like those of the Kanuri. In fact, Chibok, unlike other emirates and chiefdoms of Southern Borno, is still under neo-colonial control of Borno Emirate. Its District and Village heads answer the title “Mai”, while the princes there are called “Maina”, just like the Kanuri Royal Households of Borno, Dikwa and Bama do.
Despite the proximity of the local government area to the dreaded Sambisa forest, where Boko Haram is believed to have its main operational base, attacks never occurred in Chibok until April 14.
“We have hosted people from Damboa and Izge who had to run here to take refuge after Boko Haram attacked their villages; we have not recorded any incident until the recent attack on our town and the Secondary school; it was indeed a shocking experience to us because we never expected it,” a resident, who identified himself as Amos, said.
Still, with the relative peace, apprehension about the likelihood of a future attack was rife in the community, and that fear was with the dilapidated road leading into Chibok.
Locals had worried that with the abysmal nature of the road- which ensures cars do not go beyond about 20km per hour- the thick forest by the sides of the road could serve as a hideout for insurgents who could easily spring on slow-moving vehicles.
The attack of Monday, April 14, 2014, barely took that form, according to the various accounts that have emerged. But somehow, it was the manifestation of what the community had long dreaded. SOURCE

FG rejects Boko Haram prisoner swap for hostage schoolgirls


The federal government on Monday rejected conditions set out by Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau for the release of more than 200 schoolgirls held hostage by the Islamists.

Asked if the government would reject the suggestion by Shekau in a new video that the girls may be released once Nigeria frees all militant prisoners, Interior Minister Abba Moro told AFP: “Of course.”

“The issue in question is not about Boko Haram… giving conditions,” he said.

Shekau made the claim in a video obtained by AFP on Monday claiming to show about 130 of the 276 girls abducted from their school in the remote northeastern town of Chibok, in Borno state, on April 14.

“We will never release them (the girls) until after you release our brethren,” he said.

The militant leader, who has made prisoner exchange demands before, said that some of the teenagers had converted from Christianity to Islam.

The International Crisis Group said in a report published last month that Boko Haram had written an open letter in 2011 to the governor of northern Kano state, demanding the release of detainees.

Shekau repeated the demand in a video released last week claiming responsibility for the mass kidnapping that has sparked global condemnation and calls for action.

Nigeria’s military has been accused of rounding up thousands of Boko Haram suspects, including women and children, and holding them in atrocious conditions that have been criticised by rights groups.

On March 14, Boko Haram fighters stormed the notorious Giwa military barracks in the state capital of Borno, Maiduguri, freeing hundreds of militants.

Amnesty International, however, said on March 31 that there was “credible evidence” that more than 600 people, most of them unarmed recaptured detainees, were summarily killed in the military response. SOURCE

Why I Cut Off My Own Penis: Rapper Tells Bizarre Tale (PICTURED)

Why I Cut Off My Own Penis: Rapper Tells Bizarre Tale (PICTURED)
The Los Angeles rapper who sliced off his own genitalia before jumping out of a window has broken his silence about the ugly incident last month, saying depression drove him to do it.
Andre Johnson – who performs under the stage name Christ Bearer with the Wu-Tang affiliated group Northstar – was reported to have been high on dangerous psychedelic PCP when he cut off his penis and leaped from a two-storey baclony in North Hollywood.
But the 40-year-old, also known as C.B., has now told TMZ that he was smoking weed and reading a book about monks and vasectomies right before the self-castration.
He said he felt his ‘world was collapsing’ after being prevent from seeing his two daughters due to a restraining order, and that he had a third child on the way.
Self-castrated: Andre Johnson - who goes by his rap name Christ Bearer or C.B. - said he chopped off his own penis because he was depressed about not being able to see his two daughters. He was reported to be under the influence of the psychedelic PCP, which is known for its dissociative effectsSelf-castrated: Andre Johnson – who goes by his rap name Christ Bearer or C.B. – said he chopped off his own penis because he was depressed about not being able to see his two daughters. He was reported to be under the influence of the psychedelic PCP, which is known for its dissociative effects.
TMZ also reported that Johnson’s member was able to be reattached by doctors.
While he claims he will be able to regain full functionality, having more children will likely not be possible.
The incident occurred at an apartment compex about 1am on Wednesday April 16.
Police classified the case as an attempted suicide.
Friends within the building said Johnson managed the mutilation quickly before running and jumping over the ledge.
However E! Online reported that the rapper cut off the tip of his penis first, then removed his testicles and the remainder of his genitalia.
E! also said Johnson was under the influence of PCP at the time, which also goes by names Phencyclidine or Angel Dust.
Seen here in an earlier photo, Andrew Johnson performs as Christ Bearer in the group Northstar, who were originally discovered by Wu-Tang member RZASeen here in an earlier photo, Andrew Johnson performs as Christ Bearer in the group Northstar, who were originally discovered by Wu-Tang member RZA.
When people from the building ran downstairs to see if Johnson had survived the fall, they said he was already on his feet screaming.
He was found in critical condition before he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The organs were recovered upstairs.
Neighbors initially said Johnson did not seem to be under the effect of hard drugs.
It was also reported that doctors were unable to reattach his penis.
Johnson (right) said he had been smoking weed - and not doing PCP - at the time of the ugly incident on April 16 in North HollywoodJohnson (right) said he had been smoking weed – and not doing PCP – at the time of the ugly incident on April 16 in North Hollywood.
Northstar is described on the Wu-Tang website as a duo from the north side of Long Beach who have produced songs warning of the dangers of drugs and saluting their own Muslim beliefs.
In 1998, they were discovered by Wu-Tang member RZA, who produced some of their albums.
As Johnson’s unfortunate incident hit headlines, RAZA moved to distance himself for the rap duo, releasing a statement he has had nothing to do with them for 10 years.
PCP is a ‘dissociative drug’ meaning that it distorts perceptions of sight and sound and produces feelings of detachment from the environment and self.
First introduced as a street drug in the 1960s, PCP – which comes in crystal form but is often smoked with a herb like mint or marijuana -  quickly gained a reputation as a drug that could cause bad reactions and was not worth the risk.

However, some abusers continue to use PCP due to the feelings of strength, power, and invulnerability as well as a numbing effect on the mind that PCP can induce. SOURCE

‘They take turns for sex’: Meet The 22-Year-Old Woman Married To 5 Brothers (PHOTOS)

‘They take turns for sex’: Meet The 22-Year-Old Woman Married To 5 Brothers (PHOTOS)
A young Indian woman has spoken out about being married to five husbands, all of whom are brothers.
Rajo Verma, 22, lives in one room with the siblings and they sleep on blankets on the floor.
The mother-of-one, who sleeps each night with a different brother, does not know which of her five related husbands is the father of her 18-month-old son.
Happy family: Five brothers (L-R) Sant Ram Verma, 28, Bajju Verma, 32, Gopal Verma, 26, Guddu Verma, 21, and Dinesh Verma, 19, with their shared wife Rajo Verma, 20, and their son Jay Verma

The set-up may seem peculiar, but it is tradition in the small village near Dehradun, Northern India, for women to also marry the brothers of their first husband.
She told the Sun: ‘Initially it felt a bit awkward. ‘But I don’t favour one over the other.’
Rajo and first husband Guddu wed in an arranged Hindu marriage four years ago.
Since then she has married Baiju, 32, Sant Ram, 28, Gopal, 26, and Dinesh, 19 – the latest in the line of husbands – who married her as soon as he turned 18.
‘We all have sex with her but I’m not jealous,’ first husband Guddu – who remains the only official spouse – said. ‘We’re one big happy family.’
Rajo said she knew she was expected to accept all of her husbands, as her own mother had also been married to three brothers.
She said they sleep together in turn, but that they do not have beds, just ‘lots of blankets on the floor’.
She added: ‘I get a lot more attention and love than most wives.’
Tradition: The set up may seem peculiar, but it is custom in the small village near Dehradun, Northern India, for women to also marry the brothers of her first husband

POLYANDRY: AN ANCIENT TRADITION

The practice of polyandry is believed to stem from the tale of Mahabharata, the ancient Indian epic.
The text, one of the cornerstones of Indian culture, sees Draupadi, daughter of the King of Pancha being married to five brothers.
It is not legal, but in its most common form – whereby women in polyandrous relationships marry more than one man from the same family – it is permitted.
It tends to be practised in male dominated villages, who still follow primitive rituals and customs. Brothers who refuse the union are often treated as outcasts.
In polyandrous families, the woman often cannot say which of her husbands fathered which children.
Recently, there have been instances of DNA testing, to solve inheritance disputes.

The ancient Hindu tradition of polyandry was once widely practiced in India, but is now only observed by a minority.
It sees a woman take more than one husband, typically in areas which are male dominated.
In fraternal polyandry the woman is expected to marry each of her original husband’s brothers.
It is thought to have arisen from the popular Sanskrit epic of Mahabharatha, which sees Draupadi, daughter of the King of Pancha being married to five brothers.
The practice is also believed to be a way of keeping farming land in the family.
It is most commonly found near the Himalayas in the north of the country, as well as in the mountainous nation of Tibet.
While the advance of modernity has seen the archaic practice largely die out in most areas, the shortage of women in countries such as China and India has helped keep it alive as a solution to young men’s difficulties in finding a wife.

Boko Haram to be stamped out in three months – Northern Governors

“The 19 governors that make up this forum would continue to condemn the invasion of the north and we are happy with the Federal Government.
The Northern States Governors Forum, NSGF, on Saturday declared support for the assistance offered Nigeria by the U.S. and other countries in the rescue efforts of the over 250 girls kidnapped from Chibok, Borno State. The forum also said all elements of the Boko Haram terrorists group would be stamped out within three months.

Governor Babangida Aliyu, Chairman of the Forum, said these in an address at a joint Northern States Governors/United States investors’ summit held in Abuja. “Contrary to insinuations that leaders in the region failed to openly condemn the rascality of the terrorists, we have instead worked subtly to see to the end of the insurgents. “The coming of the United States’ army to rescue the abducted Chibok school girls was as a result of the meeting the northern governors held with the American Government. “The 19 governors that make up this forum would continue to condemn the invasion of the north and we are happy with the Federal Government. “The group is equally happy with United States, Britain, France, China and Canada which have offered support to tackle the insurgents,’’ he said.

Meanwhile, a communiqué issued at the end of the summit, said the summit was organised to accelerate the socioeconomic development of the north and the country as a whole. It said that the symposium organised by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) and NSGF between March 17 and March 19 in Washington laid the foundation for the summit and partnership with investors. The communiqué, which was signed Governor Aliyu, said strengthening relations between the entire northern governors through the summit was the right recipe for the development of the area.

“The summit addresses the issues of concern to the people of the region, and particularly the challenges faced by some states presently plagued by poverty, youth unemployment and insurgency.
“It seeks to act as vehicle through which the NSGF attracts partnership with the international investment community and aid agencies to assist in rebuilding, reconstructing and rehabilitating the north,’’ it said.
According to the communiqué, the courage and confidence reposed in the region in the face of enormous insecurity challenges in the country was well-known.

It said the summit would complement the gains of the just concluded World Economic Forum, WEF, for Africa and the far reaching initiatives of the Federal Government to develop the country.
It, called on all investors to have confidence in the opportunities that abound in the region, adding that the deficit found in region should be a motivating factor to invest.

The summit was organised by NSGF in conjunction with the Nigerian Embassy in Washington.
General Electric (GE), Brambles, USAID, Milhouse Engineering, Manchester Trade, World Bank, Blumber Grains and African World Export were some of the companies that attended the summit.

All the 19 governors made presentations highlighting areas of respective states’ potentials and available opportunities for investors to note.

I Didn’t Permit Photos Used In #BringBackOurGirls” -American Photojournalist Ami Vitale Wants Them Removed

“I Didn’t Permit Photos Used In #BringBackOurGirls” -American Photojournalist Ami Vitale Wants Them Removed

MAY 9 • RANDOM • 99 VIEWS • NO COMMENTS
ami-vitale-photo
A Twitter campaign using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls has focused global attention on the plight of some 276 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram. 3 photos of girls have been posted and reposted thousands of times, including by the BBC and by the singer Chris Brown One problem: The photos are of girls from Guinea-Bissau, more than 1,000 miles from Nigeria, who have no relationship to the kidnappings. The use of these pictures raises troubling questions of representation, and misrepresentation. Ami Vitale, the photographer who made the original images as part of a long-term project, spoke with nytimes on Thursday. See excerpts.
She was interviewed by New York Times Lens Blog Co-Editor and Senior Staff Photographer James Estrin
Q. Tell me about the photos.
A. There were three photos that were taken from either my website or the Alexia Foundation website, and someone made these images the face of the campaign. But these photos had nothing to do with the girls who were kidnapped and sexually trafficked. There are many times when I get upset when people take my photos without permission, but this isn’t about that. I support the campaign completely and I would do anything to bring attention to the situation. It’s a beautiful campaign that shows the power of social media.This is a separate issue.
This is about misrepresentation.
These photos have nothing to do with those girls who were kidnapped. These girls are from Guinea-Bissau, and the story I did was about something completely different. They have nothing to do with the terrible kidnappings. Can you imagine having your daughter’s image spread throughout the world as the face of sexual trafficking? These girls have never been abducted, never been sexually trafficked.
This is misrepresentation.
Ami Vitale's picture
One of three girls who were photographed by Ami Vitale in Guinea-Bissau in 2000 and whose images have been used — without permission — in the online campaign raising awareness of the recent kidnappings in Nigeria.
I know these girls. I know these families, and they would be really upset to see their daughters’ faces spread across the world and made the face of a terrible situation. The photos were taken from two separate stories. I was there in 1993, in 2000 and then in 2011 for the Alexia Foundation. I lived there for six months, learned the language, learned about their lives and became very close to all the people in these pictures.
Q. What was the story?
A. I wanted to put a human face on conflict. But when I got there my story changed. Because I realized the way Africa is generally portrayed in mainstream media is either wars, famine or stories like this terrible abduction. You see the horrors or the other extreme, beautiful safaris and exotic animals. There’s nothing in between. So it’s ironic the story I was telling was that there is a beautiful world that lies between these two truths.
Why don’t we ever tell these stories that show the dignity and resilience of these people? And this is why I feel so enraged, because I was trying to not show them as victims. They are not victims. Using these images and portraying them as victims is not truthful. The story I did was a hopeful story.
Q. Tell me about the girls.
A. The picture of the girl outside the school was the image used most frequently. The girl’s name is Jenabu Balde, and she is a cousin of the family I lived with. Umou Balde is her mother and she is a dear friend. I lived with them and went back in 2011 to visit them. The point of the story was to show that the girls were going to school and life was getting better in many ways.
Q. How did you learn the pictures had been misappropriated?
A. Eileen Mignoni from the Alexia Foundation spotted this first, and the whole board of the foundation was very quick to respond. Mickey H. Osterreicher [a lawyer with the National Press Photographers Association] has been incredibly helpful as well, citing the legal issues and ramifications.
Q. How do you feel that someone found it acceptable to substitute these girls for the Nigerian girls who were abducted?
A. This is personal. Even if they weren’t dear friends, it’s the principle. We can’t pick up any photo and use it out of context. I can’t help but wonder that they thought this was O.K. just because my friends are from Africa. If it were white people from another country in the photos, this wouldn’t be considered acceptable.
Q. What was your arrangement with the subjects of your story? A. I feel a sense of responsibility to the people I photograph. I go into communities and I make a promise that I will be responsible with their images and that I will deliver the message that they articulate to me. We are responsible as photographers and journalists when we make promises to do justice to their stories and honor them in the way that they have honored us by sharing their stories. I need to follow through with this one.
Q. How are you following through?
A. I spent my whole day Wednesday trying to track down the people who are spreading these images. I tweeted back to scores of people asking them to remove the photos. The BBC and Chris Brown retweeted it and it was everywhere. At first the woman from the BBC refused to take it down because it was already out there in the Twittersphere, But after a long exchange they removed it. Chris Brown did not respond.

abiru Sokoto moved to Kirikiri, rejects prison food


The mastermind of Mandala bomb blast, Kabiru Sokoto has been moved to the Maximum Security Prison, Kirikiri, Lagos, DailyPost has learnt.
Sokoto, who was sentenced to life imprisonment by an Abuja Federal High Court for his role in terrorist activities, including the December 25, 2011 bombing of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in Mandala, Niger State in December was yesterday moved to the high walls of the Kirikiri Prison amid tight security.
The Federal government did not give any reason for its action, but sources squealed that their decision to moved the sect kingpin from Abuja might not be unconnected to the ongoing activities of the terror group in the region.
A reliable insider further hinted DailyPost that since Sokoto arrived the prison, he has not spoken to anybody or eaten food, an action that has stirred worries among prison warders.
“He refused to talk or eat. We don’t know what his plan is but we pray he doesn’t have any bad intention,” the visibly worried insider further hinted our reporter.
Before meeting his waterloo, the convict was the leader of Boko Haram in Sokoto State. This was according to evidence that emerged in the course of his trial, which lasted six months.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola found him guilty of facilitating terrorist activities in Sokoto State, and having prior knowledge of the bomb attack at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, zuba.
Kabiru Sokoto, who was finally apprehended by the operatives of the State Security Service in the Borno State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja after escaping from the custody of the police was arraigned by the Federal Government on April 19, 2013 on a two count charge bordering on terrorism.  SOURCE

Boko Haram: Group links northern elders with schoolgirls’ kidnap


Weeping parents of the abducted schoolgirls

A group on Monday alleged that elders in the North were behind the kidnap of the female pupils of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.

The group, United Alliance, in a statement by its northern co-ordinator, Bashir Ado, said the abduction of the school girls was part of the agenda of the northern elders to embarrass President Goodluck Jonathan.

 Ado, who spoke ahead of Wednesday’s planned protest by women in the Federal Capital Territory to press for the release of the kidnapped Chibok  girls, said the protesters should not direct their grievance at the President, saying Jonathan had nothing to do with the disappearance of the girls.

He said, “The disappearance of the girls is part of the Northern elders agenda to embarrass and distract the Goodluck Jonathan government.

“They deliberately took the girls away to create an impression of insecurity and paint the picture that nobody is safe in the country, whereas they are the architect of these self- inflicting wounds aimed at distracting the government”

 The group also said the authorities of the kidnapped girls’ school should be questioned for defying an earlier order of the Federal Government that schools in the area should shut down.

It said the school authorities “deliberately ignored the government’s directive.”

It said, “There was an initial instruction to school authorities in the area to evacuate students from schools because of insecurity and the parents were aware of this. Why then would the authorities of the school refuse to yield to such sensitive instruction if there was no pre-conceived agenda to lash on the perceived state of insecurity to organise the kidnap of their own children and put the blame at the doorstep of the Federal Government.

“The co-ordinated media interviews the mothers of the alleged missing girls have been granting showed that a script is being acted.

 “It is high time our leaders in the North come to terms with the reality that this self inflicting havoc will continue to deplete the value of Northerners and eventually rub us of our place in the Nigerian nation.”

News: “These Girls Are Not Missing”, Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo Says After 24-Hour Visit To Chibok

Controversial daughter of a former Governor of Oyo State, Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo claims to be an investigative journalist who has gone to Chibok in Borno State, the place where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents. According to Kemi, she was in Chibok for 24 hours to investigate the missing girls and she has come to a conclusion that the whole #BringBackOurGirls campaign is based on a fraud.
20140508_092426
Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo who is the News director of HNN Africa and is based in Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria, has actively been a part of the campaign in her state by going for protests and rallies.
On her blog Kemi asks a few questions to back her theory that the girls are not missing. She also uploaded a video on YouTube, emphasizing her thoughts after her visit to Chibok where she says there is no media there because everyone is afraid.
BnLaDTqCYAArtAw.jpg large
Watch her video below:
You can also read up her full conclusion on her blog below
FACT: This is my school ID St Teresa’s College, Oke-Ado, Ibadan, Nigeria in 1976. Where are the #ChibokGirls? #Bringbackourgirls My family knows about education in Nigeria. I even called Sister Agnes Hassan on how she would have handled this. I went to a boarding school too. Did the Christian girls get ushered out of Chibok by CAN and other entities after learning about the Abuja bombings? Was that their way of leaving Northern Nigeria? Is that why WAEC could not release records due to confusion? Is that why Principal Asabe Kwabare did not show up in Abuja with the parents and kids supposed to be there with her at Nigerian First Lady Patience Jonathan’s meeting?
Is there a Ministry of Education in #Borno state #Nigeria? The Governor Shettima should really resign 4 his own good now. Why is there so much panic in Northern Nigeria with the governors over there rushing to Abuja to STOP the US help? The US now wants to use DNA to match children to parents when there are possibly no children missing and parents talking. Who burned down the school and when?

Who burned down the students records? Are there any missing girls or we just believe Shekau of#BokoHaram because we fear him? CAN and WAEC need to be grilled. FACT: Over 200 missing girls in Nigeria and authorities don’t have a single picture out on TV screens.
President was begging parents 4 them. There are 800 missing women in one community in Canada (Aborigine) and all the authorities have are their pictures. Anyone can burn a school down and keep their children home then say they’ve been abducted, won’t submit pics and stall investigation
YES! I went to the Oyo state march as media and solidarity purposes as this principal acknowledged that she may have handed the kids to fake military men.
If they are missing, I want them found, if they are NOT, they need to explain what happened as the principal reported them all missing. Where are the fathers and what happened to the boys. It is a mixed school or the boys didn’t board?
The viral video of a woman stoned to death via Sharia was an old 2008 video and that is not Boko Haram. That is Sharia law that Hausas perform and she reportedly committed adultery as a child bride or something. Northern Nigeria is getting out of control.
My Investigation #HNNInvestigates Continues.
Check out more of her coverage on her blog Here or on her YouTube page Here. What are your thoughts on Kemi Omololu’s conclusion? She seems to have more speculations than concrete proof in our opinion!

Our Analysis of Chibok and an Nostradamus Postulation.


Dummies Sold, Dummies bought....bought in foreign currency.

The opposition played a dangerous and risky game and Goodluck Jonathan like that TV program by Amaka Igwe of the 80's has said "checkmate".

It is Ome Omenai who asked

"If the Chibok girls are not missing, why is this administration allowing the world to get involved?"

This administration KNOWS these girls are not "missing". If you listen to the first Lady in that "only you that waka come" video, you will see that she was very suspicious that grieving parents may not exist hence "only the principal waka come"

The administration, for it not to be said to be "denying" the kidnapping, or "wishing it away" or covering up, through the police and in the nationwide broadcast BEGGED PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN ARE MISSING TO COME TO THE POLICE STATION.

That has to be a first in history where you that lost your 16 years daughter has to be begged to come to police station when in reality the police station should be a beehive of activities for grieving parents.

Even the Borno government house and Local government headquarters of Chibok, there is graveyard like silence. It definitely does not look like 276 girls are missing.

The human instinct where grieving people naturally move towards each other, if only to hear news of their daughters is absent. PARENTS ARE IN THEIR HOUSES WAITING FOR NEWS???? Who is calling them with it or do they have CNN?

I know how Police Station in Sapele would be if "gbomogbomo" stole 5 children. Parents and well-wishers will sleep in government house or police station just to hear if there is news on their girls.

So why is Borno State govt and the opposition selling this dummy?

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan HAS NEVER BEEN AS MALIGNED ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ESPECIALLY WORLD MEDIA LIKE THIS.

Even papers that used to support him here, since Obiageli Ezekwesili's march with false parents and hired actresses, the attack has been relentless as they say "he is doing nothing about the girls"

I have asked severally "How do you look for kidnapped people when the parents have not made "missing person's report"

But the foreign media likes bad stories of Africa and in fact bad stories worldwide. Notice if anyone is interviewed and he does not attack this administration, the interviewer quickly says "thank you for your time" and ends it.

So the APC and Borno governments looking to totally discredit the SOE (state of emergency) has sold you all a dummy and you all opened your pockets and paid.

Then GEJ, that man Ogbemudia told you "is more brilliant than many of us put together" has absorbed the attack and very denting blow for a loss of goodwill to gaining of actual position of strength.

While his "Queen" Patience GEJ was engaging opposition "bishops" and "knights" and getting laughed at for her linguistic semblance to Mrs. Malaprop, GEJ "castled".

The US that has been looking for a way to put foot and soldiers down on sub-saharan Africa has finally done it. Now they will have an eternal post in Sub-saharan Africa and even if later they say they are gone, all what is needed for them to arrive in 12 hours and encamp in case of global conflict will have been put in place.

Should world war start, Russia cannot win the race to Sub-saharan oil of Nigeria and now Ghana. They also cannot use the soils for food growing as Hitler had planned for Africa.

DUMMIES SOLD, DUMMIES BOUGHT....bought in foreign currency.

Nigerians in some inexplicable pausing of the use of their reasoning faculties, failed to really listen to SHEKAU in that video where he never mentioned Chibok or WAEC. He does not boast of the hours he took to arrange the transportation and the amount of girls he took.

In the video he said "we will soon begin to take ..." meaning the video is not about Chibok or the massive female heist which has already taken place. He speaks of a future event.

But CNN and foreign media put "we will sell the girls" on a loop

DUMMIES SOLD DUMMIES BOUGHT

And all the villagers say they did not see trucks...many enough to lift 234 girls from a very quiet unindustrial town...so many truck nor hearfd any gunshots.

Nigerians do not bother to wonder if it is this very incidence he is talking about or the speech could have been any other attack.

HE TALKED ABOUT 9 AND TWELVE YEARS OLD GIRLS and not 18 and 16...even 20.

He Shekau chooses the less lucrative alternative of selling little girls to the poor, in and around Chad and Cameroun to a huge ransom and release of held brothers in prisons.....something GEJ would have agreed to easily for the safety of 176 girls.

And that representative or who that is quick to tell us, "the girls are now in Chad and Cameroon. They have been sold for 2,000 naira. They have been married off" even before Boko Haram made contact. EVEN BEFORE SHEKAU MADE CONTACT via youtube video.

Did they in anyway see this SHEKAU video and play their game to the script he had already written? Like chess moves read from a Bobby Fisher text, did they totally adapt their play to pre-arranged moves?

Well... We have looked at this thing a million and one ways and in our Analysis, AS AT TODAY, We are 70 percent certain there was no kidnapping.

We sit back and congratulate the president. What a wonderful capitalization on a gambit.

Now he has the US army at his disposal in his country. ANY COUP STANDS FOILED.....yes, coups are by no more than 100 soldiers......easy for the US army to take back any radio station they capture for their broadcast and easy to zoom in and bomb and snipe and quell any attack on the villa.WEI SAID GEJ "CASTLED"

Then also, should the Niger Deltans decide to break the country at the constitutional conference, should things escalate. Should a civil war ensue, AMERICA IS ALREADY HERE.

Russia almost beat them to the Nigerian oil during the Biafran war. But not anymore AMERICA IS HERE.

DUMMIES SOLD, DUMMIES BOUGHT...IN FOREIGN CURRENCY.

America called the Northern governors and flew them over.

How the US meets provincial leaders of a country shows the deep division in Nigeria
. Mumu governors went, insulted their country and president and America joined them and said "yes. Abuja refused to support Northern governors push for education and employment" when Abuja has built more almajiri schools than the state governments. When Abuja has built so many universities on their soil than in the south. When Abuja chose their soils to begin the rice revolution that made the Agric minister Akinwumi "Forbes Man of The Year." proving the success of the farming initiatives: when the groundnut is being grown again....something their own Northern leaders and governors could not do.... farming that is also a State Government function....even local government....

YEt America spoke HIGHLY in their favour and they are happy. Yes, Obama and John Kerry has heard their argument how GEJ cheated them of their one term agreement and RIGHT TO RULE.....

DUMMIES SOLD, DUMMIES BOUGHT....IN HARD HARD CURRENCY

Now America can monitor even the anti-Israel terrorist group's activities in Nigeria. HAMAS and AL QAEDA have lost their vacation spot.

But they should not have brought attention to Nigeria where a lot of their financing was going on under the radar. They were planting even CENTRAL BANK GOVERNORS and STATE GOVERNORS who all regularly visit Sudan, the African mother-bed of terrorism.

But someone got greedy. Someone got stupid. They decided to smoke weed where they keep guns and drugs and the police have followed the smell and now are here....over stupid weed/marijuana smoking. Nigeria ultimately is lost. A stronghold, a bastion is lost. AMERICA IS HERE....

YES AMERICA IS HERE, RUSSIA IS NOT

DUMMIES SOLD DUMMIES BOUGHT...IN FOREIGN CURRENCY.

So everyone, sit back and watch as Nigeria finally is no longer the Beautiful Bride of International politics. No more are we "unaligned". Like SHEKAU's "kidnapped" girls, we have been married off to a side...AMERICA.

But our heart are with the "pawns" which are the girls....every girl in Northern Nigeria, hoping...praying they can get to the 8 rank and become the "queens" they should be.Hoping no one "sacrifices" them.

For those who think Shettima is incapable of atrocities which may include kidnapping and bombing, his former governor and former benefactor and co APC member says bombings in Borno is not by Boko Haram but by him...SHETTIMA.

Is "kidnap" by him too?

Stupid gambit by Shettima and APC. Wonderful capitalization by GEJ....Gary Kasparov-esque. AMERICA IS HERE> GEJ IS SAFErrrrr

DUMMIES SOLD DUMMIES BOUGHT....IN FOREIGN CURRENCY

TO BE CONTINUED.. WAIT FOR THE PART TWO OF THE DUMMIES SOLD
