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".
