TRANSLATION OF THE BOKO HARAM VIDEO MESSAGE TO MR. PRESIDENT RELEASED YESTERDAY.

I wanted so know exactly what the Boko Haram leader "shekau" was saying in the video released yesterday, so I begged a friend to help me translate the video which he did and sent to me through facebook. The following is the translated message as contained on the video, well most of it.



"Well it was a pretty long video but I just summarised it. Its not a threat like saying they are targets but rather after the threat he calls for them to 'repent'. He says they have been victims of attacks from d government and Christians for a very long time and their actions are just retaliatory cos of all dat has been done to them in the past. There is mention at some point about the futility of any actions by the government to clamp them down as a battle against their god cannot be won. In addition the bit about jihad is cos he was trying to buttress his point about fighting not for themselves but their god, thus they are pleased to loose their life in battle cos of the reward of bliss in eternity dat such death offers. As such he boasts about wishing for death in battle as nothing can be more glorifying. Strangely he makes no mention of a 3 day ultimatum to Christians living in the Northern part of the country to evacuate. Such a statement was rumoured to have been made a while back and it caused a lot of panic. However despite not giving such an ultimatum, Christians are still potential targets because of their refusal to 'repent and accept the tenets of the Holy Book'

@ Nedu I am sure a line by line translation will soon be out on youtube so not to worry U will get a more detailed account of d dude's rant. I listened to it just once so I am sure I missed out a few parts. I hope this video gets to the hands of the right authorities and I hope it is taken seriously".

Rimmel London Hard Rock

Bu ojeyi Chanel Graphite'in benzeri olabilir diye sürdüm ilk başta ama alakaları yok. Bir kere Hard Rock ondan daha koyu. Aslında benzeyip benzememesi çok önemli değil çünkü en favori ojelerimden biri ve size gösterebilmem için fırsat doğdu. Bilmem söylemiş miydim ama Rimmel'ın Sky High'ına bayıldığım için yedeklemiştim, bu ojeyi aldıktan sonra tekrar görebilseydim mutlaka aynı muameleyi yapardım! I picked up this nail polish yesterday while thinking this could be Chanel Graphite's dupe but Hard Rock is too dark to be a dupe. Actually that isn't important for me, Hard Rock is one of my favourite polishes and now I can show it to you. I wish I would buy one more of this but I have never seen it after I bought this one :( Harika bir sonbahar ve kış ojesi, bu renk bende tırnaklarıma gerçekten metal sürmüşüm hissi uyandırıyor, çok seviyoruum :) This is a great fall&winter colour, I feel like I applied liquid metal on my nails and love that feeling :)

H&M Winter Lookbook

Sonbahar ve kış artık yavaş yavaş geliyor, yarın da İstanbul'da yağmur yağacakmış hatta. Bu sene bir ilke imza attım, ne yazdan ne önümüzdeki sonbahardan şikayet ettim, hatta daha önceden ilkbahar gelsin diye can attım. Bilmeyenler için ara mevsimleri hiç sevmem, özellikle de sonbahar ve yağmurdan nefret ederim. Her neyse yeni koleksiyonlar beni neşelendirmeye yetti :) Bu yazı tüm sonbahar sevmeyenler için gelsiiin :D Fall and winter are coming slowly, I heard that it will be rainy tomorrow in İstanbul. This year I made a difference and didn't complain about fall - for the ones who don't know I hate rain and fall from seasons. Maybe because of the new collections :) And I send this post to people who don't like fall all around the world :D       Neyse ki karaları bağlamıyoruz, yine rengarenk giyinmeye devam edebiliriz. Kıyafetlerin kesimleri hatları ortaya çıkarmayacak şekilde. Thank God, we can still wear our colourful clothes. But they are going to hide our lines/curv...
