Pinsure or idonbilivit

Waiting 4 his 10th death news

I taught they have killed this man.he keeps resurrecting.

Our time is come OMG

Lol, is this a confirmation that Shekau is dead or an assumption that Shekau is dead or a speculation that Shekau is dead?

NA with assumptions and speculations...

you know where these BHTs are, why not make bombing runs, and send in ground troops to finish them off once and for all? instead of assuming he was injured on the shoulder by dropped bombs.

The sooner y'all realize it's not about killing a thousand shekau the better for y'all
