bennyrazz: Decent ladies don't wear ankle chain, waist beads aka ileke, mascara, eyelashes, nails, G-strings and the rest. They wear whatever is moderate

Ahhhhh, I see the Christian Haram have raised their ugly head here. Waist beads are a traditional item in so many tribes here. They are gorgeous on a woman's body and also help let her know when her waist is increasing in size and time to back off the agege bread with buttah. You're simply another brainwashed mugu. I suppose you also think "native" dress is inappropriate? smh

The real problem began when she traveled Home after her first year. On a cool evening two weeks after she got home, she uploaded pictures on her Facebook between she and her EX...I called her and she never picked up the call.. I left her messages so she could explain to me what happened and she never replied. I tried calling that Night and she never picked up until 1am and her reply was " WETIN SELF, I NO FIT SNAP PICTURES WITH SOMEBODY AGAIN,I TELL YOU SAY MY EX DEY STAY MY AREA..I DEY WAKA I COME SEE AM ,HE SAY MAKE I SNAP WITH AM SO I COME SNAP WITH AM" I was heartbroken by the response but i had to be strong.. She later called and told me she was no Longer interested in the RELATIONSHIP and that she LOVES her EX... I tried explaining to her that i was there for her and i love her so much and i really want 2 be with her. I explained 2 her that i so much love her and this can KILL me so soon and she insisted i should stop calling her... I was furious all through the night...Then she later called me crying. I asked why she was crying and she said she had hurt me so much and i was too good to her. She said she never deserved me and that she had things 2 tell me... She later Opened up that she lied about her EX and that she slept with HIM.. I was Heartbroken again and wept. She said she never intended to do it and she felt guilty about everything.. I said i still Love you and still don't care about the Mistake you made and we can move on and i will still LOVE u.. She later said she slept with her REV father. I was speechless on hearing that and asked how she got involved with him. I also asked if she slept with HIM when we started dating or before and she said after we started dating and she slept with him three times....

Run my friend...this one is not the type of girl to fall in love with. Count your blessings you are not being held to care for a baby not your own by now, or worse. Move on, even tho difficult. There is someone out there who is going to love you and your heart.

All I have to add to this, being an Ifa traditionalist, is that I have talked to several very attractive christian women who have told me that their "pastor" -and I won't say names-at one point or other asked them to join him in his car where he pled for sexual favors of the oral kind and offered to buy house, car, and even gave some of them cash money in hand on the spot. Call it what you will, but these are definitely simple, puny human men with simple, puny carnal desires who are proclaiming to be prophets and mouthpieces of God. smh. There is only one God and no one gets to him or hears his word through another man's mouth. If your pastor can't stand naked before God and admit his sins he shouldn't be preaching to a gullible flock looking for answers to their life problems and suffering-all while stuffing that basket with naira as it comes around-not once, not twice, but at least three time o!

publisher: Ever since 2009 Boko Haram has been attacking several Northern/North-Eastern towns at will. Most times they attack such towns, hoist flags, hang around and flee, sometimes they lurk around until Nigerian security forces arrive and chase them out-yet no one ever presented the narrative that Boko Haram had TAKEN OVER such towns.

Unfortunately, today, Boko Haram through its massive media propaganda partners have included the term 'TAKEOVER' into our national counter-terrorism vocabulary. Thus, if a small band of terrorists decide to conduct their usual deadly raids on a small remote town or village in North Eastern Nigeria, Boko Haram's media network quickly gets to work and tells the world that Boko Haram has TAKEN OVER yet another Nigerian territory.

The strategy here is for Boko Haram to continue to disperse small/medium band of fighters to many remote towns and villages, while their media partners simulteanously continue announcing to the world that Boko Haram has 'OVERRUN' more Nigerian territories.

Innundating the Nigerian polity with multiple media reports of takeovers and overruning of Nigerian territories is meant to plunge our security forces into a state of confusion and disarray with a pinch of hopelessness. This can cause a large number of Nigerian soldiers to say to themselves, "Why bother,these Boko Haram guys are everywhere." -The Nigerian army's morale will gradually continue to dampen and at a later date the insurgents will abandon those smaller towns, regroup and attack major towns like Maiduguri,Yola and Damaturu in full force.

This is Boko Haram's strategy and I hope all Nigerians,especially those with ownership or access to media outlets (online and offline) are listening.

A simple counter-propaganda strategy from all patriotic Nigerian media outlets (and the rest of us) is to continue reporting every single Boko Haram attack for what it really is "A COWARDLY ATTACK" and NOT equate such attacks to territorial gains.

Afterall, in spite of Boko Haram's alleged control of several Nigerian territories, we are yet to see the head of their caliphate (Shekau) relocate or move into one of the airconditioned secretariat offices located in territories he claims to control.

Again, let's join hands and fight Boko Haram with everything we've got.

It's a shame there is no journalist brave enough and equipped well enough tech-wise to actually embed with the army to get firsthand reports. Lack of photos and non biased reporting the public can trust gives rise to distrust. Outside media picks up SR stories and runs with them, painting the worst face worldwide. You don't know who to trust as NO ONE inside Nigeria is actually doing a consistent job. Journalists need to step it up and whoever is brave enough to do it might just make a name and reputation...

BrotherJohn: Jocelyn and Wilson have been married for 16 years, in that time Wilson feels that Jocelyn has always been verbally abusive to him. It is as if she has verbal diarrhoea anytime there is an argument.

Anything and everything has been said to hurt him. Jocelyn on the other hand feels that it is her husband who is the bully and aggressor and she is always first to apologises every time they fight. She feels he is not the very forgiving type.

One day during an argument, Wilson hits back at her with a slap. Jocelyn was so taken aback and in that instant she remembers that her dad told her that she should never stay with any man who hits her because his own sister was killed by a violent husband. Jocelyn proceeds to call the police who immediately ordered Wilson to leave the house. It is now 2 months since Wilson left the house insisting that the embarrassment was too much and he doesn’t think there is a future for them.

Jocelyn misses him but she is afraid that once is more than enough, he could likely do it again. The family and church have tried to help them work it out but nothing seems to be working. There is a stalemate which means Jocelyn is left with responsibility of looking after 2 children. The first one seems to side with dad and is being rude to her, the younger child though largely confused seems to be on her side.

Is Jocelyn right?

What is the solution, divorce or reconcilliation?

No right or wrong here on the part of Jocelyn, fact remains, you raise a hand to strike a woman, you are an animal, and animals that aren't civilized don't live in homes with the mother of their children. They remain outside the home until they can learn to grow up and get a handle on their violent temper and act like a mature adult.

Excuse me Did you learn this kind of rude behavior in your father's house? Were you raised to make assumptions about "traditional worshipers" without getting firsthand knowledge before running your mouth off? Were you raised to think you are somehow "superior" to an Ifa herbalist who started learning when he stood only knee high to his elder? Were you raised with a "superiority complex" because you are "Christian and saved" yet are too blind to see that you yourself and your ancestors are suffering from the worst of all inferiority complexes: being born AFRICAN = PAGAN = BECAUSE MY WHITE COLONIZER SAID SO? Do you see Ifa traditionalist coming here to bash the name of Jesus, and nastily comment "I guess the Admin is OP client for putting up THIS KIND of thread ABOUT JESUS on front page this SUNDAY morning. Do you own the day called Sunday? Does JESUS own the day called Sunday? Did your pastor tell you that SUNDAY ALL OVER THE WORLD IS ONLY FOR CHRISTIANS. I feel extremely sorry for the sheer ignorance and stupidity you two have both displayed. I know dozens of Babalawo and Iyanifa, me being one of them, who possess character and actions more worthy of being called "CHARITABLE" than the face of Christianity in Nigeria today. How dare you. Someday you will figure out your ancestors threw away the finest riches they possessed-their cultural traditions and worship, their link to the land and their harmony and blessings in this world. I feel sorry for you both.

* Assault on Gulak is advance south into Adamawa state

* Witness says militants went house to house, firing

YOLA, Nigeria, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Boko Haram militants early on Saturday attacked another town in northeast Nigeria, pushing southwards in an apparent strategy to carve out an Islamist enclave in the remote north of Africa's biggest economy, residents and local officials said.

Fighters from the group, which has taken over several northeast towns and villages in recent weeks, stormed Gulak in the northern part of Adamawa state, near the hilly border with Cameroon where the militants are thought to have bases.

An eyewitness to the attack, Sabo Lukas, who escaped to the Adamawa state capital Yola, told Reuters the militants had gone from house to house in Gulak shooting, and he had seen bodies of victims. He could not give an estimate for those killed.

"As am talking to you they are still there killing people," Lukas said.

Tanko Wazumtu, an aide to Adamawa state Acting Governor Alhaji Ahmed Umaru Fintiri, also confirmed the attack, saying his own father was among those killed.

Nigerian military officials in Yola and in the federal capital Abuja did not respond to requests for comment.

Gulak is about 50 km (30 miles) southwest of Gwoza, a border town in neighbouring Borno state seized by Boko Haram last month and where the group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, proclaimed a "Muslim territory" in the northeast. Another town, Madagali, between Gwoza and Gulak, had already been attacked previously.

The Nigerian Sunni jihadist movement, whose name means "Western education is forbidden" and which has killed thousands since launching an uprising in 2009, is believed to be trying to mimic the example of the Islamic State (IS) in Syria and Iraq which has proclaimed its own separate caliphate there.

Nigeria's military says it is fighting to reverse Boko Haram's recent gains, which have raised fears that the group may try to capture the Borno state capital Maiduguri. Air strikes have been launched against the militants

President Goodluck Jonathan's government, which faces elections in February, has come under sharpening public criticism for its apparent inability to check Boko Haram's five-year insurgency, which has ravaged the poor northeast corner of Africa's biggest oil producer.

The group has also claimed shootings and bombings across the north and, more sporadically, in the federal capital Abuja and even in the southern commercial hub Lagos. The attacks have not reached the country's strategic southern oilfields however.

DISGUSTING

By Jonah Goldberg
September 6, 2014 | 4:49am

On the Internet, you’re never really alone. Name any fad, any cause, any hobby or passion — Shaker furniture? Dungeons and Dragons, Bolivian tree frogs? — and you’re only a few clicks away from someone who shares your obsession.

That’s great. It’s also horrible.

Because while there’s no harm in tree frog fans sharing pictures and stories inspiring others to fly to the Andes to take pictures of exotic creatures, the Internet also lets evil people share stories and pictures inspiring others to cut off the heads of various infidels and apostates.

Though I’m perfectly comfortable with YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and similar platforms doing what they can to undermine the PR campaigns of fanatical murderers, my point here isn’t necessarily that such things should be banned or censored (even if that were technologically feasible).

I weary of reflexive responses to barbarism that involve curtailing the freedoms of Americans in order to not offend savages.

Rather, my point is that to a considerable extent, ISIS — and groups like it — is a modern foreign legion for losers.

When discussing people who openly boast of rape, murder and torture, “loser” is hardly too harsh. But invective is not my intent when I call them losers. These men — and a few women, too — are losers in a more significant sense.

They are losers at Western Civilization.

Recently the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) posted transcripts from Facebook and Twitter conversations among various French and British supporters of the Islamic State.

They enthusiastically chatted about the exciting news that you can buy slave women in areas controlled by the Islamic State. The terrorist group reportedly captured an unknown number of women from the ethnic minority called Yazidis. They aren’t Muslims, so they can be used as chattel.

The men in the discussions asked all sorts of questions about the rules for sexually abusing (i.e. raping) the women. One British Muslim asked, “I have 3,500 dollars to spare, I am going to buy 10, who wants one?” A French one joked that 180 dollars must be the “price for the ugly ones.”

There were plenty of “LOLs” in the thread. Because, you know, collecting the female survivors of mass murder and raping them is just so Laugh-Out-Loud funny to cretins who can only bed women at sword-point.

Many of the Westerners flocking to Syria and Iraq for “Jihad tourism” don’t have any of the usual excuses one hears for terrorism. Just like the 9/11 hijackers, they’re often middle class, educated and technologically adept.

What they are not is assimilated. They may have passports identifying them as American, French or British, but they’re not American, French or British in their hearts. These labels do not give them the meaning and mission in life they crave. And Western democratic capitalism bores them.

Often the children of immigrants, they are literally misfits; they don’t fit in with their parents’ native culture but they also haven’t connected to the society in which they now live.

And that’s nothing new. The French intellectual Olivier Roy observed over a decade ago that many of the violent Islamists in Europe were in fact “born-again Muslims” who adopted Islam not so much as a sincere religious conversion but as a radical pose against the West.

In past generations, they might have joined Marxist terror groups.

In other words, the ideology of radical Islamists is a convenient uniform in their crusade for power, sex, vengeance, excitement, whatever. The Telegraph’s Tim Stanley notes that one poll in France finds that more people in France support the Islamic State than residents of the Gaza Strip.

There have always been isolated losers. But that isolation often inspired its own remedy. People want to belong to a community. That desire fuels assimilation and civilization.

The horrifying challenge of today, is that — thanks to the digital age and an ideology and a culture that often sees assimilation as incompatible with “multiculturalism” — the losers no longer have to stop being losers to cure their sense of isolation.

They can join a huge virtual rape gang on the Web and have their evil desires confirmed and celebrated.

And some of them, weary of puncturing their masturbatory reveries by pecking out LOL on a keyboard, have the option of hopping on a plane.

mandax: Nigerians, stop killing Nigerians. Only solution to this violence is grant the 12 northern states a sharia country they crave.

They already HAVE their shari'a paradise. Trouble is they want to wage jihad on us "infidels". It's kill or be killed my friend. Unless FG and military can set up an iron wall the likes of old East Germany from West, those demons are going to keep killing innocents AND continue to infiltrate Yoruba land Igbo land. I don't want hausa /Fulani in SW, just as much as they don't want Yoruba up North, but difference is - we don't invite them to sit prayers in our mosques and then slit their throats. Word to the wise, better to flee that murdering religion and follow the ways of our fathers. Ifa is the only tradition within Nigeria which does not preach brimstone and hell fire. You will never hear of a true Ifa man abusing killing or preaching against another because of their religious choice. Christianity and Islam have destroyed this country. Here is your result sha...

Maximus17: If this information is truly correct,this was what we've been expecting right from the onset, Boko haram are bloody murderers who have wasted the lives of our people like 'point and kill' catfish, they deserve no dialogue or whatsoever form of amnesty, whenever i remember Nyanya,jos,abuja,kano and kaduna blast, i weep for my fellow citizens,

GEJ,Please kill them all, they deserve no MERCY!!!

The weeping goes back much further than that...since when have these Muslims ever lived at peace within Nigeria? Long before Boko Haram, the Northern Muslim has been rioting, killing, slitting throats of Yoruba, Igbo in particular. I want them all to go back up North. It is better to divide, we are oil and water and we cannot mix. Muslims are insane is the fact of the matter. Any little thing sets them off into a frenzy of murder. I've had enough.

OMO SANGO BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Seriously, you may be child of Ogun or Sango sha....

SMH...

mecussey:

You are talking sense, abeg how malaria dey take get foothold on the liver and how I go know which mosquito. Because, my own malaria too much...na every three wks e dey show for the past decade. The worst is that all those big malaria medicines no dey work for my body. Na only chloroquine and amalar dey work.

You really need to find a good doctor or clinic who can show you WHICH form of parasite you have in the blood and that shouldn't be too hard. If it is p vivax or p.ovale they can go into a "dormant" liver stage and then reenter the blood at any time IF you have not been treated properly, causing symptoms again. Primaquine is usually indicated but since naija mosquitos are on steroids you really need to find a competent doctor to help you. I have had malaria so many times is why I am trying to help you, and I had to figure it our for myself in the end as doctors were not treating it properly unfortunately. I put together a few paragraphs here that might help you. MAIN THING is make sure you are not simply being reinfected from being bitten. Are you sleeping with a mosquito net? (which is necessary). Long pants if out at night or avoiding areas with infestations? If you are not being bitten and sleeping under net than I suspect you have an old vivax or ovale infection that was simply not treated for long enough or with the right drugs. If you are in Lagos Agboju side there is a good clinic there, let me know if you are close that side and I will try and get the address for you.

Malaria would have been a simple problem if not for its habit of recurring again and again and again. I have seen patients who have had malarial attacks 35-40 times in 3-4 years period. It is this problem which also keeps the disease alive in a community and makes its control quite difficult.

Why does malaria recur?

Following are the reasons for recurrence of malarial attacks:

1. Absence of effective immune response: Immune response against malarial infection is very poor and it does not protect against re-infections. Acquired immunity develops after several attacks of malaria over several years. This immunity is stage specific, species specific and 'strain' specific. It does not have any sterilizing effect on the parasitemia and immune adults are still re-infected. However, the clinical signs and symptoms are reduced with development of clinical immunity.

Various explanations have been offered for these observations. Generalised immunosuppression by the parasite; presence of T-cell independent antigens which fail to induce immune response; inhibition of B-cell proliferation; and extreme polymorphism or clonal variation of immunologically relevant antigens could be the causes for the poor immune response in malaria.

2. Exposure to repeated mosquito bites and re-infection: The commonest cause for recurrence of malaria is re-infection. The patient is exposed to fresh mosquito bites soon after completing the anti malarial treatment. On the one hand he has no immunity from the past infection and on the other, the antimalarials do not prevent establishment of the fresh infection. Therefore, unless the patient observes stringent anti mosquito measures, re-infection is inevitable in an endemic area.

3. Incomplete treatment: All blood schizonticidal drugs suppress the erythrocytic schizogony and give symptomatic relief. The patient may stop the drugs due to various reasons like vomiting, ignorance and financial constraints. This results in recrudescence within a short period. Also, if the patient does not take the complete course of primaquine, relapses can occur from re-activation of hypnozoites in the liver.

Proper patient education regarding the complete course of anti malarials is very important.

4. Relapse: In cases of P. vivax and P. ovale infections, recurrent attacks could be due to re-activation of hypnozoites in the liver. This can occur any time after 30-180 days of the primary attack. The relapses have the characteristic symptoms of malaria. Splenomegaly may be a prominent feature in these patients.

Such long-term relapses commonly occur in patients who have either not taken primaquine or taken incomplete treatment.

5. Recrudescence: In P. falciparum and P. malariae infections, the parasites can remain in the blood for months or even years and cause recurrent symptoms from time to time. In falciparum malaria, such recrudescence can occur within 28 days of the primary attack and may indicate partial resistance to chloroquine. However, treating every case of recurrent P. falciparum as resistant malaria is unjustified. One should consider the possibility of re-infection in most of these cases. Orht et al have studied the recrudescent isolates by PCR genotyping and have concluded that PCR genotyping could be a practical method of distinguishing recrudescence from re-infection.

It is a common observation that in a household, only some members get recurrent attacks of malaria while the others escape the infection. In such cases, it is important to find the cause for this phenomenon. The person may be getting bitten by the mosquitoes elsewhere, may be at his/her workplace. The resting and sleeping habits of such individual may be facilitating mosquito bites. Or else, any of the causes listed above may also be playing a role.

Malaria parasite and typhoid bacteria interfere with the liver and its functions. The invasion of the liver cells by malaria parasite and typhoid bacterium can cause organ congestion, sinusoidal blockage and cellular inflammation (Jarike et al., 2002; Petit and Wamola, 1994). When these happen, the parenchyma transaminases and membranous alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase enzymes of the liver leak out and find their way into the circulation, leading to increased enzyme activity (Burtis et al., 2001). The liver is enlarged during the early stage in malaria infection and it is affected during the second week of infection of typhoid fever where the bacteria causes the inflammation of the liver. Untreated malaria and typhoid fever can lead to damage of the liver.

mcwizard: Ok but why and how?
?
?

That is an easy answer. When all in FG on down are chopping the money earmarked for basic sanitation, health, security, infrastructure of roads, electricity, water etc etc etc etc how on earth is a nation to survive? It cannot. Nigeria has been abandoned by the FG.

ladej: which one is it?

is it under control or is it out of hand?

honesty has been a virtue we have lacked for a long time

smh

Nigeria is doing a good job of containing ebola, but individuals are doing their best to spread it. Ebola is raging out of control in Liberia and we haven't seen the end of it. Ebola is out of hand in that it is not contained in other nations, at all at all. It has been said time and time again, just like a fire, if EVERY EMBER OF EBOLA IS NOT STAMPED OUT IT WILL ALWAYS BE A THREAT. Even if Nigeria contains and stamps out ebola within her borders, other countries are not doing so and the odds of getting reinfected by people fleeing from ebola stricken countries is not a chance, it is a certainty. There is no way Nigeria's borders can be sealed completely and we have seen that those who feel entitled and or have means will circumvent prescribed standards to stop this virus. If people would f'ing BEHAVE RESPONSIBLY in Nigeria we would not have these new cases. Libera, Sierra Leone, Dr Congo, etc...lost cause and getting worse. Again, my advice is store enough food stuffs and water for every person of your compound to last at least a month. It might look hopeful now in NIgeria but until the rest of West Africa gets ebola under control, we are not out of the woods o...not to be pessimistic, just REALISTIC. Stay vigilant and use proper hygiene and for f's sake if you had contact with any index case get your a33 into quarantine abeg.,

Why do these people willingly expose others to a possible death sentence?? You cannot run away from reality, it is better to face the Devil and fight him than run and take others to an early death, and then have to face the Devil in HELL.

[size=18pt]Please do not forget these victims of rabid and insane Islamic Jihadis. ALL radical Islamic fundamentalists need to be taken down, all over the world, including BH and the Northern Oligarchy in Nigeria. If anyone here can justify these killings, you are a demon and your day shall come of judgement here on earth...THESE ARE GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING PHOTOS. DISCRETION ADVISED. [/size]

A child is photographed, waiting to be killed by militants. ISIS uses these images to terrorize others and to glorify their spree of terror.


Islamists killing a woman by slitting her throat and capturing her blood in a bowl, holding her firm as her life literally drains from her neck. Such forms of execution are intended to intimidate others.


Kurdish men carry the bodies of children who died after being driven from their homes with nothing to eat or drink.


Convert or die. ISIS militants are crucifying victims because to them crucifixion is especially humiliating due to its Christian implications.


Another woman killed by militants. ISIS has pledged to exterminate Christians from the region.


A woman killed by Islamic militants. Christians are under a sentence of death in ISIS-controlled parts of Iraq and that includes women.


Children lie where they were killed by militants.


A distraught father in Syria holds the lifeless body of his decapitated daughter, executed by militants because she was of a Christian family. Allegedly, Christian children in Mosul are being systematically beheaded and their little heads placed on poles in a park as a warning to others who love their children.


All humanity owes a debt to this baby girl, to find her murderers and bring them to justice, dead or alive. That the nations of the world and its citizens sit complacent is the greatest embarrassment to civilization and should be the source of deep shame to all. Everything less that we do is pales by comparison. We have a moral imperative to act.

This is what wants to install itself in Nigeria, same same, different name under BH. We allowed the bloody shari'a North to come into being, biggest mistake ever since 1960.....No more coddling of Northern Muslims, they have only brought bloodshed and terror to Nigeria. If you think the mentality in this article is not present in the North, think again....

NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - When Adeba Shaker arrived at a house in Raabia, Iraq, after being kidnapped by Islamic State militants last month, one of her captors received a phone call.

A few moments later all five men in the apartment picked up their guns and stormed out.

Shaker, a 14-year-old girl from the Yazidi ethnic minority, heard trucks leaving the property and then silence. For the first time in 20 days she and another girl being held with her were alone with no guards, and the door was unlocked.

Islamic State militants had trafficked Shaker from her village in the northeast Iraq region of Sinjar to the Syrian border and presented her as a "gift" to fighters on the front line. She was to be converted to Islam and forcibly married to one of them.

"When [the militants] left us I panicked, I didn’t know what to do. I saw a bag full of cell phones and I called my brother," Shaker told Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone from a camp for internally displaced people in Iraq.

On the phone, her brother Samir told her to go to a nearby house and ask for help and directions to reach the border where fighters from the Kurdistan State Workers Party (PKK) were battling Islamic State militants.

He said the PKK would help her reach safety.

"This was a gamble as I didn’t know who was a friend and who was an enemy," she said.

Shaker and her companion decided to try their luck. They snuck out of the house and knocked on a neighbor's door.

"We explained the situation to them and they showed us the way to the border."

"WE NEVER LOOKED BACK"

The two girls set off toward the front lines.

"I couldn’t walk straight, my legs were shaking and my heart was beating so fast. We ran and walked and we never looked back," Shaker said.

After two hours on the road they heard gunfire. As they got closer, they saw a group of PKK fighters and started running towards them.

"I was crying and laughing at the same time," she said. “We were free.”

Adeba Shaker is one of the few Yazidis to have escaped the Islamic State militants who have taken over large swathes of Iraq and Syria in recent months.

Tens of thousands of Yazidis fled their ancient homeland of Sinjar and other villages to escape a dramatic push by the Sunni militants, who regard them as devil worshippers who must embrace the Islamic State’s radical version of Islam or die.

In addition to Shaker, militants abducted at least 73 women and children from her village and trafficked them across northern Iraq.

Shaker recalled how the militants separated old women from the rest of the group. Then they took the children.

Young women and girls faced terrifying fates. Some girls were raped by the commander, who had the privilege of taking their virginity, before being passed round among the fighters.

After they had been gang-raped, they were likely to be sold off to the highest bidder.

Women and girls are auctioned for as little as $10, according to numerous reports. Others, like Shaker, were to be married off to militants.

FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

"The most terrifying moment was the first night after they captured us," she recalled. "We arrived at a police station in another town and everybody was crying and screaming. We didn’t know what was going to happen to us."

Shaker had been living in a small village with 25 family members. She loved school and wanted to become a teacher. When the family heard that Islamic State fighters were approaching, they fled to a nearby village.

But the fighters reached them shortly afterwards.

"They promised they were not going to hurt us if we surrendered,” Shaker said. "They separated women and kids from men … Then they took all our jewels, money, phones and vehicles."

Two hours later all the prisoners were loaded onto trucks and moved to an unknown destination.

"At the beginning (they) were trying to be nice to us … They were trying to calm us down." Shortly afterwards, their attitude changed and they became "abusive and aggressive," she said.

Eventually, Shaker and her family arrived at the town of Badoosh, near Mosul, where they joined around 1,000 other Yazidi women and children.

She was separated from her mother and the rest of her family and was later sent to the house in Raabia from which she escaped.

Shaker is now safe in a camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) in Iraq, where she was reunited with two of her brothers. She doesn’t yet know the fate of 22 other relatives who are still in the hands of Islamic State.

"Sometimes I can’t sleep at night … I worry so much about them," she said. “Those hours are the worst … Everyone is asleep and I still think about my escape.”

“I know I was lucky, God saved me."

oyb: Free the girl jare. The guy will see money and suddenly realise she is not his level. He is just using her to hold body until the money comes in.

Gbam. That girl should have run years ago.

Ayatullah: RUSTY TANKS?
So its rusty tanks we have been waiting for all this while?...............The military should for God sake not level the whole towns and villages in these 'Boko Haram' zones under the pretext of fighting 'Boko Haram'.

If I can believe the picture shared in this thread, yup, looks like very old rusty tanks. Thieving FG just cannot stop stealing money long enough to put the GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AND NATION CALLED NIGERIA FIRST. Am sorry to say this ebola should have gone directly and sharply to all the thieves in government, they need to feel the fear of God above in their bones. When they die they will not pass go heaven. They must first stand to be judged for all the money they stole and the untold and uncounted suffering and deaths the innocent citizens of Nigeria have passed through during their evil reign in office. It is truly a nation ruled by stupidity and wickedness when your so-called leaders only care about their own, and sending that cash out to their homes and families abroad. If we could purge the Northerners from the military I would stand for military rule to knock these bas-tards out of office, then chop off the shari'a North like a leprous hand, whilst building my dream of a 10 mile in and out landmine field with razor wire, 30 foot fortified wall stretching one end to the other sealing off d North, anti tank concrete barrier and armored tank and recon towers ARMED AND READY at intervals aimed towards the North. There is no peace with the shari'a North. Whoever wants to remove themselves can relocate, but after a thorough interview to screen for RADICAL RABID ISLAMIC BELIEFS. Enough of this shyte already.

It's a lie...smh

WTF? What is it with arriving in Lagos and dying lately?

[quote author=Druhill]After all this Boko Haram saga all Nigerian soldiers children should be giving scholarship to study abroad. me don talk my own.[/quote
Agreed. And PROPER $$$ lifelong fund for widows and children.

litetias:
You made no sense

Only because you have no brains to "sense" it with...

litetias:
There are so many things wrong with your post such that it didn't make any sense. However I will have you know that it's your pretentious support for falsity that's the very reason why Boko Haram have not been defeated.

You're stepping awfully close to an edge you might suffer a bad fall from...smh

Qelvin: The CJTF should be fully absorbed into the military,theycan act as some type of paramilitary and flexible outfit for the Army with specific spec-ops duties like infiltrating enemy lines and ranks(since they know the insurgents pretty well and have a better idea of the terrain than the army)...their collaboration with the JTF will be very consequential in ending this menace.

They should have been armed, locked and loaded fully years ago, even the female units. They have everything to lose in their communities when under attack and every reason to fight viciously and intelligently to protect their land, homes, loved ones and livelihoods. They need some of these:
