BRAV0O: So Jonathan's bokoharam reads koran and shout allau akbar? shame!, i think some people should be wiser. Now i understand why some people think that this whole stuff is a huge scam.It has been confirmed that bokoharam (whether real or political or tribal or cross boarder)has a common book they read and since they are not in the business of collecting ransome, but believe that dying a maytr will present 72 black eyed virgin. Then it is obvious that some people are either not following this trend or does not know the religious cleansing that has been going on in the north right from the time of matasene. Ask questions if dont know, but for some of us, we know what they have been doing for a very long time now. |

Segadem: Hmm, it is 13 matches now after AFCON... 2 wins (BHG & THT) 4 draws 7 losses And some die hard keshi fans still want him to continue. He has broken more records thank Moyes |
![]() |
Nigerians enjoy victory by chance or fluke, keshi has never impressed me. Cracks when he faces good oppositions, being saved all these while by sheer brilliance of individual players and he had been taking the glory. Now the players whose brilliance gave him a good name iddnt come to party today. What was keshi's pattern today? What wad his formation? What was his plan b, smh he needs to upgrade his tactics as we might face more humilations in the hands of SA. A 38 yrs old record broken today i hope we have not become man utd in the hands of moyes. 5 Likes |

Why on earth should they bechasing shadows? Who is davis? Dont you think that he should have given a press conference to the world on this matter?why arise tv and not cnn,bbc,aljazeera or even bbc hausa?hmmmm, why do you think a terrorist would receive any form of help from an infidel? This is not adding up based on the ideology of bokoharam.maybe they have changed their isignia to something else.there is more to this |
![]() |
I am surprised that a terrorist group like BH will allow an infidel like ihejirika to sponsor them, except if the group is different from the one that owns the popular insignia wc includes two crossed sword....... I cant be fooled. Iam not supporting anybody but i knw how oyibo does their things, the man would have given a press statement and not to an unknown tv station. Voice over things.....with what i know about islamic groups, ihejirikas connection is a hoax.#myonepence. 3 Likes |

This man, El-Rufai doesn't fear God at all. First of all this interview was granted to ABC news not Arise TV. Second, Stephen Davis made no mention of any name as sponsor of Boko Haram but said sponsors are 'mainly' Nigerian opposition politicians. This is the report by Thisday paper: ======•••••======= Australian Negotiator: Politicians Funding Boko Haram A Perth-based international adviser, Dr. Stephen Davis A Perth-based international adviser, Dr. Stephen Davis, who survived months of extreme danger to try to rescue more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by terrorist group Boko Haram, has alleged that one of the primary sources of funding for the terror group is Nigerian politicians. THISDAY had exclusively reported that one of the key federal government negotiators trying to secure the release of the Chibok girls from the clutches of Boko Haram was Davis. Davis has worked in Nigeria in the past with the Archbishop of Canterbury and Head of the Church of England, Justin Welby, to negotiate the release of kidnapped oil industry workers in the Niger Delta. Speaking yesterday in an interview on ABC News, an Australian television station, Davis, 63, said he had realised the only way to stop the kidnappings was to stop the sponsors of Boko Haram. While Al Qaeda was involved in training Boko Haram recruits, Davis said one of their major sources of funding - aside from raiding banks - was Nigerian politicians. “That makes it easier in some ways as they can be arrested, but of course the onus of proof is high and many are in opposition, so if the president (Goodluck Jonathan) moves against them, he would be accused of trying to rig the elections due early next year,” he said. “So I think this will run through to the election unabated. These politicians think that if they win power they can turn these terrorists off, but this has mutated. “It’s no longer a case of Muslims purifying by killing off Christians. They are just killing indiscriminately, beheading, disembowelling people - men, women and children and whole villages. “I would say it's almost beyond the control of the political sponsors now. Terror groups are linking up in Somalia, southern Sudan, Egypt and we have fairly strong evidence they are talking with ISIS members. “They will link up with ISIS and Al Shabaab and I think that what we are seeing in that region is the new homeland of radical Islam in the world,” he told his interviewer. Davis, who returned to Australia after a four-month sojourn with rare footage of the intense fighting in Nigeria's North-east, as Boko Haram stepped up efforts to establish an Islamic state, said he established extensive contacts with tribes and terrorist groups in Africa, including three small cells of Al Qaeda, while working as a troubleshooter for oil and gas company Shell in the Niger Delta. When news broke in April about the girls’ kidnapping from a school in the village of Chibok, near the Cameroun border, Davis, who had recently moved to Perth from London, decided he could not sit on his hands. During the journey in North-eastern Nigeria, his life was threatened more than once, but his Australian passport saved him. “When confronted by groups with an AK-47 in my face they'd say, ‘you are American, we have to kill you’,” Davis said. “When you say, no I’m not American, they think you are British, and say you will still die, but when I said I’m Australian, they said that’s all right. I have no idea why but it’s certainly been helpful.” The devout Christian managed to smuggle out of the country footage of a handful of schoolgirls who escaped from Boko Haram. They detail the atrocities they endured, including being raped almost on a daily basis. Following media reports that nobody knew where the girls were, he decided to reach out to his contacts. “I made a few phone calls to the Boko Haram commanders and they confirmed they were in possession of the girls,” he said. “They told me they’d be prepared to release some as a goodwill gesture towards a peace deal with the government, so I went to Nigeria on the basis of being able to secure their release.” Arriving in Nigeria, Davis quickly set up talks with commanders and he believed he had brokered a deal. Fearing being arrested, the Boko Haram commanders - holding the girls across the border in Cameroun - had a list of conditions. They wanted the military to stand down and promised to drop the girls in a village before phoning to give their exact location. Davis said they lived up to their promise, but in a region ravaged by war and corruption, the rescue was sabotaged. “The girls were there, 60 girls, there were 20 vehicles with the girls,” he said. “We travelled for four-and-a-halfhours to reach them, but 15 minutes before we arrived they were kidnapped again by another group who wanted to cash in on a reward. “The police had offered a reward of several million naira just 24 hours before we went to pick them up. “I understand, from the Boko Haram commanders I spoke to, the girls eventually ended up back with them. “I don't know what happened to the group that took them but I suspect it wasn't good,” he disclosed. Davis said a young man kidnapped by Boko Haram and used as a driver later helped a handful of girls to escape. One kidnapped girl, who managed to avoid having her mobile phone confiscated by turning it off and hiding it in her bra, managed to call her family while hiding in bushes, but had no idea where she was or which direction she should be heading. After being told to walk west by following the sunset each evening, the four girls managed to cross the border from Cameroun and into Nigeria before being reunited with their families. So far they are the only girls to have escaped from a Boko Haram camp. When Davis later tried to contact, via text, the young man who helped them, he received a sobering reply. “The person you are trying to contact has gone on a journey from which there is no return,” the reply read. “He was an infidel.” Davis said the longer he stayed in Nigeria the more it dawned on him the kidnappings would not end. “It became very clear that if I was able to get 50 girls released, then another group would kidnap 70 or 80 more. So by freeing 50 you were consigning 70 or 80 more to the same fate,” he explained. Davis said initially journalists from around the world including CNN, the ABC and BBC flocked into the country, but they concluded it was far too dangerous to send any crew into the North-east of the country. He said since then, the violence in North-east Nigeria and the threat of foreign journalists being kidnapped and beheaded, there has been limited coverage of the crimes being committed by Boko Haram. “Boko Haram used to telephone Nigerian journalists and give them a story, but that doesn't happen anymore,” he said. “They go straight to social media. They post their own material and they’ve learnt to become very savvy on social media and use it as an instrument to terrorise.” Davis, who has a PhD in political geography, has worked as an adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. He also worked for Shell in Nigeria in an advisory capacity between 2002 and 2004. 1 Like 2 Shares |

I dont knowy nairaland is filled with isi okukos that cant just wait to read what the poster just posted, rather they choose to expose their unocordinated lifestyle on this wall by trying to comment on treads. Is it compulsory to respond to any thread?, you guys should go back and re-read the thread and the link thereof to get the import before making clueless responses. |

For some doubting thomases like johndoe, there is a picture of one of the alleged perpetrators of this crime (the guy that she was calling uche, and was saying biko,biko to.). The truth is gradually coming out, i know he isnt guilty until proven but clues are pointing his direction and the picture of others are on the way i bet! |

Johndoe100:I dont have a problem with this, but how come the names mentioned by the investigators have the first names of the guys that the girl kept calling during the rape incident? |

There are obviously a lot of i-diots on this website. Sanusi is doing his job. The banks can either recapitalize on their own or merge with another bank. Sanusi's actions are simply to protect depositors' money. You clowns must have forgotten when the banks were cooking their books and Nigerians ended up losing money with their worthless stocks. The Nigerian and Brazilian banks have a similar history. Right now, the Brazilian banking system in one of the best in the world and Sanusi's reforms are a child's play compared to the regulations in Brazil. When all the US and UK banks almost went under during the repression 2-3 years ago, the Brazilians banks fared the best. If you want a good thing, you have to be willing to sacrifice to do things the right way.@ Genius100, i really feel that people like you dont listen to news and get their import. You didnt give the shareholders opportunity to recapitalize their banks or merger rather you offered them straight jacketed solutions, "allow yourself to be sold or be liquidated". Haba! it is only in nigeria that we can see this kind of injustice. If your father or you are a major shareholder in such banks would you go home and say "let it be so"? answer this question genuinely. God will answer sanusi terribly atleast for the tens of thousands that he threw out of job. Common inflation that he promised that he will fight till it's reduced to a single digit kept increasing each day (a reason why he should resign honorably). It is if this sanusi's "worm in the apple" tactics have not affected you directly or indirectly (negatively) that is only when you come out here to sing. I am waiting for you, one day when the truth is unveiled, i hope you will be bold enough to stand by him. |

I know PDP and GEJ are not sleeping, presenting videos and pictures of over 2 million underage voters alone will disqualify this dishonest claim. What MB of defunct BB saying. He who comes to equity must do so with clean hands. cikena |

We r throwing stones up and down, this gal needs help q.e.d. It could have been anybody but thank God she is realising that she needs help. I advice first that you make a conscious decision to leave your inlaws house, seek God's forgiveness and promise God not to try it again. You would have to seek forgiveness from your sisters but that will be later. Tell your inlaws what your decisions are and tht you are moving forward. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
