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".

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...

VIOLENCE IN CROSS RIVER LEAVES 30 DEAD INCLUDING VILLAGE RULER AND 4 POLICEMEN

30 people were allegedly killed while four police officers and the village head of Ntan Obu Ukpe in Eniong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State were beheaded in a communal clash between the Ntan Obu and the Ikpanya in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday. According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.
