Cease Fire Splits Boko Haram

The cease fire agreement with Nigerian government has split Boko Haram into two groups. While the pro- peace faction wants the cessation of all hostilities; the other group wants the hostilities to continue.

It will be recalled that a meeting by top Boko Haram commanders after the killing of Shekau impostor led to internal fighting that led to death of 13 people.
The captured members also confirmed that there is an internal squabble inside Boko Haram.
It is possible that it is the pro-peace faction that Nigerian government entered agreement with.
An unconfirmed news report has it that, it is indeed the pro-peace faction that Nigerian government entered agreement with in Chad last week.
Nigerian Government and Boko Haram representatives are expected to go back to negotiation table to fine tune the details of the ceasefire agreement on Tuesday. If this succeeds, over 200 kidnapped Chibok girls are expected to be released this week.
Attacks on Shafa in Borno State and Sina, Adamawa State on Friday, may have been carried out by the pro-violence faction. This faction is only interested in setting up strict sharia state in the whole country.
The military is however keeping its side of the peace deal by suspending all hostilities against the
insurgents.
This is in keeping with the directive  issued by the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh. He had on Friday ordered the   suspension of all on-going aerial and ground offensives against the sect.
With this renewed violence there is fear that release of kidnapped chibok school girls maybe truncated.

New face of Jungle justice in Nigeria

Reports reaching us have it that these men whose pictures appears below were alleged goat thieves. It happened in one of the eastern state of the federation. The villagers stripped them naked and paraded them around the village. Though i personally do not support stealing but i hate it when people still barbaric to their fellow men. If they feel that they have committed a crime the most honourable thing to do is to hand them over to the authorities.

We are in trouble in this country. The problem with this country is and still is ethnicity. And way politicians play politics with the present and future of Nigeria all in a bid to gain political power is appalling.  Jonathan's administration witnessed between 2345-2500 people killed b y Boko Haram and instead of politicians from opposing camp to closer rank and help solve the problem they used inciting words and lies to mobilize the masses against him. This has set a dangerous precedence in this country that might lead to problems that may make or mare the sovereignty of our great Nation. Now within just 6 months of of the Buhari administration between 1892-2000 people have been killed and still counting.... And in all these who are the loosers? The poor masses. If this continues at this rate daily, by 4 years time between 16000-20000 people may have died. So we only achieved regime change but no real change in the way things are in the lives of the masses only increas...
