Cameroonian Muslims, Minister Advise Fellow Believers Not To Marry Abducted School Girls

Following a recent video posted online by Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, threatening to sell the abducted 276 secondary school girls in Chibok, Borno State, some Muslims in Cameroon and the Minister of Communication, Issa Tchiroma Bakari, are reportedly calling on their fellow believers not to marry any of these girls should they be offered to them.

According to a report on AriseNaija.com, no other topic in recent years has generated a heated debate in Cameroon as much as the activities of the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram.

It was gathered that the debate took on a new dimension some media reports suggested that the over two hundred school girls kidnapped from a school in northeastern Nigeria on April 14 might had been transferred to Cameroon and Chad.

The reports also speculated that the kidnapped teenagers might have been forced to marry Islamic extremists.

This is after Shekau warned in a video recording that he would sell the girls at the marketplace. Some sources in Nigeria said a bride price of $12 (9 Euros) was all that one needed.

As a result of this, it was stated that Muslims in Cameroon have been calling on fellow believers not to marry any of these girls should they be offered to them.

According to Muslim leader, Nchotu Soule, anyone seen acting suspiciously with a girl should be reported to the authorities.

He said: “The prophet Mohammed insists that Islam is a religion of peace. Any true faithful of Islam will want to reject anything that comes from the Boko Haram.

“They are using our Muslim brothers here to be able to carry out their activities.”

It could be recalled that sometime ago, the Cameroonian authorities warned that Boko Haram is keen on recruiting members from Cameroon.

The situation worries many citizens such as Silas Mao, a university student in Yaounde.

He said very little was being done to stop Boko Haram. “If Cameroon and Nigeria decide, they can stop Boko Haram because I know that they are not more powerful than these states,” Mao said.

He also said he was sure the Islamist militant group had a base in Cameroon.

“If nothing is done, we will find ourselves in a situation like the one in Arab states where such people dictate what is done,” Mao warned.

Commenting on the situation, Cameroon’s Minister of Communication, Issa Tchiroma Bakari, said he was shocked by accusations that Cameroon was not collaborating with Nigeria to free the girls from their captors.

Bakari said that Cameroon will never ever serve as a support base for destabilisation activities towards other countries.”

The minister also added that Cameroon was a victim of what he called ‘rather unfortunate and heinous crimes’ in Nigeria.

He explained that this wasn't the first time such incidences were occurring in the state but this one recent one happened to be the worst because of the kind of weapons they insurgents carried.

I'm Tired Of Keeping My ''Thing'' Until After Marriage

I'm a 25 years old lady. Growing a good relationship has been a daunting challenge for me, it just won't last. Sometimes my fellow ladies take him from me or lack of sé'x causes our separation even after letting him know from the beginning that I am totally for a no sé'x before marriage relationship. At first they would accept only to walk out when I have fallen in love.
Some of these men have been good to me but sé'x is the only barrier. Some said I'm too rigid. I have really worked on my character because at some point I thought I was lacking some good morals. My friends always advice me that sé'x keeps relationship going.
But I want to know, can't one have a healthy relationship without sé'x?
As a vir-gin, if I desire for a man's affection, is it wrong? I really need advice because I'm heart broken now. And I'm beginning to have a rethink on my determination to keep "my thing" until after marriage.

Graphic pics: Suspected Female Ritualist Set Ablaze By A Mob In Abule Egba

An angry mob set ablaze a suspected female kidnapper on Tuesday on Ekoro Road at Abule Egba area of Lagos after she was caught with three children.

The woman was said to have kidnapped the three children who were on their way to school in the area at about 7a.m this morning while pretending she was taking them to school but she ran out of luck as she was spotted by a bread seller who raised an alarm.

Crowd gather to watch the incidentAccording to an eyewitness who identified himself as Ikisa, she tried to escape but was caught by a mob. When she was questioned on the ownership of the children, she claimed they were hers but when they realized she was lying, they beat her thoroughly, hung a tyre on her neck, poured petrol on her and set her ablaze.

Other sources said the unidentified woman came with a jeep which she parked at a distance and the car was later taken to the Oke-Odo Police Station, while others said she wanted to take the children into a tricycle before she was caught.

Policemen from the Oke-Odo Police Station watched helplessly as she had burnt completely before they got to the scene.

Residents however expressed satisfaction over the jungle justice meted out to the woman, saying that if she had been taken to the Police Station,  she would have been set free by the police.

They say the woman they were her children but couldn’t give their names and the direction she was taking them wasn’t where their school was…plus the children said they didn’t know her and before anyone could stop it, they descended on the woman. Beating her to a stupor and then setting her ablaze.

Shocked Survivors Count Their Dead After Boko Haram Attack

Traders burned alive in their stalls, whole families murdered as their homes were set alight: shocked survivors told Wednesday of Boko Haram’s latest atrocity as they counted their dead in north Nigeria.

Islamist gunmen razed scores of buildings as they stormed the town of Gamboru Ngala, on the Cameroon border, on Monday, firing on fleeing civilians and leaving hundreds dead according to witnesses.
Survivors said the extremists overran the town in armoured trucks and on motorcycles, making it too dangerous for locals to return immediately.
Details of the ruthless attack emerged bit by bit as they dared venture home — to a town “littered” with dead bodies, Musa Abba, a witness, told AFP by telephone.
Area Senator Ahmed Zanna put the death toll at 300, citing information provided by locals, in an account supported by numerous residents.
“We have been collecting bodies from all over the town, on the streets and in burnt homes,” Abba said.
“Nine members of a family were burnt alive in their home.”
Another resident, Babagana Goni, said he counted 30 bodies on the streets before returning home, unable to withstand the sight.
“Some bodies are burnt beyond recognition,” he said. “Some of the bodies were shot while others had their throats slit, which made me sick.
“I couldn’t continue the count.”
Gamboru Ngala has been attacked repeatedly in the past, but Abba said this was the worst Boko Haram attack it had seen.
Senator Zanna said the town had been left unguarded because soldiers based there had been redeployed in an effort to rescue more than 200 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram on April 14.
The shocking mass abduction has sparked global outrage, and offers from the United States, Britain, France and China to help Nigeria recover the children, and tackle the spiralling security threat posed by Boko Haram.
Villagers have been conducting funerals for the dead since Tuesday, Goni said, and only gradually realised the scale of the killings as more and more bodies emerged.
“The town has buried more than 150 people and rescue teams are still recovering more bodies, particularly in the market.”
“Many traders were burnt alive in their shops where they hid when sounds of gunfire and explosions broke out in the town.”
He said the dead included traders from neighbouring Cameroon and Chad, whose relatives had since recovered their bodies for burial at home.
Senator Zanna said the town’s economic and business centres had been destroyed, with its market — a hub for traders from all over the region — completely burned.
Monday’s savage attack prompted Cameroon’s military to reinforce security along the Nigerian border, a medical source told AFP from the border town of Fotokol, requesting anonymity.
“The toll is very heavy. We believe there are more than 200 dead,” the source said, adding that some 2,000 Nigerians, including soldiers had fled to Cameroon, and that some 30 bodies had been transported to the town.
“People had their throats slit, others were shot,” said the source. “Some of the bodies were charred. It was horrific.”
