FIGHTING BOKO HARAM WITH MEDIEVAL METHODOLOGY

With Boko Haram using innocent kids as suicide bombers in the northern part of Nigeria, sight like this though understandable is a rather painful reminder how Nigerians have allowed religion to be used as a weapon of destruction. The Northern elites should be held accountable for how they have used Islam as a political tool and their lack of tolerance for other faiths to lead us to this uneccessary quagmire.

The question that baffles Naijaman’s mind is that what if the kid was strapped with a bomb? Won't the Security personnel frisking the little dude with her hand be blown to oblivion?  As we start of this new regime in power, its time to ask what was done with all the billions of dollars that was expended under the name of security.

It appears that all the money expended on bomb detectors and detonators were all siphoned off to the pocket of the ruling rogue elites.

BOKO HARAM,THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH

Northern governors should hide their heads in shame because of what is happening in the north. 
They thought that they could use Boko Haram to cripple the then government of Jonathan because they thought it was their inalienable right to continue to rule over the rest of Nigeria despite the fact that, they have de-industrialized and pauperized their states. Emphasis was placed on using Islam as a tool to cripple the minds of their people who is mostly gullible. Sharia law was imposed as a sort of opium to keep the average northerner to believe in the fathom utopia that religion was supposed to offer while the few rogue elites with their friend in power continued to plunder the north to the detriment of the masses. Its rather weird that the average northern elite will send their kids to the best schools both in Nigeria and abroad while they try to cripple the rest of the masses with the fact that all will be well so long as they attend Islamic schools and wreck religious havoc at the slightest provocation. It was the norm in the north that if there are religious riots,properties and churches are destroyed with the slightest whim while the northern elites looked the other way.

BALTIMORE MOTHER SLAPS FOR TAKING PART IN RIOTS-MOTHER OF THE YEAR

Call out the National Guard? How about call out more mama-bears like this good woman?! She'd have Baltimore flying straight in no time. Very, very proud to see a mama fight the good fight. And one writer said it was because she was embarrassed her son was rioting. No. This smart mom doesn't want to see her son get hurt. When she gets interviewed -- and she will -- I hope the interviewer will let her know that lots of us want to see her run for mayor!!!

She didn't attack her kid. She disciplined him. There's a difference. She wanted to teach him right from wrong and if you have a teenaged son who won't listen and is throwing rocks at the police, the only way to discipline him is to give him what he is dishing out, He got the message and left. Well done, Mom!

I agree. I am proud of her too. Many Moms and Dads want to be friends with their kids. He wouldn't have to worry about getting embarrassed if he would have done the right thing. He already knew Mom wouldn't approve. Perhaps that is why he was wearing the mask.

THE REMARKABLE STORY OF OKWUDILI OYATANZE AND OTHER DEATH ROW INMATES IN INDONESIA PRISON

Known in Indonesia’s penal system as “The Death Row Gospel Singer,” Mr. Oyatanze, 41, was arrested in 2001 while trying to smuggle 5.5 pounds of heroin through Jakarta’s international airport, in his stomach, after arriving on a flight from Pakistan. He was convicted the following year and sentenced to death.

Mr. Oyatanze has made the most of his incarceration, writing more than 70 songs and recording multiple albums behind bars. He has performed with prison guards as well as fellow inmates.
In the video, shot in 2008, Mr. Oyatanze sang his song “God You Know,” which was also the name of an album he released that year.
“He has turned his life around in jail,” said the Rev. Charles Burrows, a Catholic priest from Ireland who now lives in Indonesia and is offering religious counseling to Mr. Oyatanze as he awaits his execution.

Raised in outheastern Nigeria, Mr. Oyatanze started a garment business in 1999, traveling to Indonesia to buy clothing and resell it in Nigeria. The business collapsed, and Mr. Oyatanze, heavily in debt, traveled to Pakistan to try to revive it, at the suggestion of a fellow Nigerian living there.
The plan involved swallowing capsules of heroin before boarding a flight to Jakarta. “There was a chance to earn some easy money, so he became a courier,” Mr. Burrows said.Source: NYTimes.com

What is going on with some men in Tenesse and the penchant for fathering many kids. Although this guy's case hit the news a while ago,the recent news of another man fathering 22 kids from 14 women has thrown this case back into the open.

THE BRUTAL SLAYING OF EMMANUEL SITHOLE IN SOUTH AFRICA XENOPHOBIC ATTACK

Some South African have shown a level of wickedness that is unspeakable and callous. They have

acted like animals in human skin this time around. The entire African continent rallied round them during their dark days when they were oppressed by white minority rulers. Many African countries gave money and scholarships to South Africans who were fleeing from their country. They were given asylum and made to feel welcome in the myriads of African countries where they found themselves even though they were not contributing anything. The fact that today they now have freedom and the only way that they can exercise this is to murder fellow Africans in broad daylight is totally despicable. The rest of Africans should curse the land called South Africa as they have desecrated the Land of Africa by spilling innocent lives. South Africans would never know peace,the Gods of Africa will curse their land and the perpetuators of these heinous crime for what they have done. These kind of savagery would not go unpunished and it is high time the whole of Africa rise up against these savages that reside in South Africa!!!!!!!!!. More pics after the cut (pics from Beauregard Tromp and James Oatway for Timeslive.co.za)
