Shekau On Time’s 100 Influential Persons List by Uteghe(m): 7:58pm On Apr 16, 2015
Boko Haram’s leader, Abubakar Shekau has been named in the Time Magazine annual 100 influential people in the world list.

In a release on Thursday by the magazine, Shekau described as “Scourge of Africa” was named under the leaders category.

He was named along with President-elect, General Mohammadu Buhari and former Minister of Education and leader of the Brigbackourgirls campaign group , Oby Ezekwesili

Most Americans do not yet recognize his name, but the citizens of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, know Abubakar Shekau all too well: he is the most violent killer their country has ever seen. Shekau took over the terrorist organization Boko Haram in 2009 after the group had been weakened by Nigerian government forces.

A brief profile of Shekau reads:

“Shekau, who is believed to be in his 30s, began to stage increasingly daring kidnapping and killing raids on schools, churches and mosques thought by Boko Haram to be violating their interpretation of Islam. The taking of over 200 schoolgirls in April 2014 brought Boko Haram into the international spotlight.

“By most accounts, Boko Haram has killed more than 10,000 people and is spreading into neighboring countries. Shekau’s latest action may finally summon a U.S. response: he has publicly aligned his group with ISIS, the terrorist group that holds territory in Syria and Iraq and has expanded its reach into Yemen and Libya.”

I wasn't a bit surprised. Shekau was Buhari's foot soldier. He succeeded in influencing Nigerians to see Jonathan as a weak president. He succeeded in influencing Nigerians into thinking it's only a general that can save us. He's the one who made Nigerians scream for change. Nigerians were influenced by Shekau and Buhari to vote for APC out of fear. He's definitely the most influential guy in Nigeria. Kudos to him.

Didn't this news bit hit FP earlier, or have I become a prophet of some kind? I think the latter is the case. In that case:
Contact Mr. RickRichards for your accurate prophecies. Starting from $1,000,000 per prophecy.

The last time I checked, I thought being on times influential list was for well meaning individuals who have achieved and still achieving a lot.
Why elevate an evil person? Please what's the essence of this publication?

His inclusion is not questionable. grin

He played a key role (retrogressive) in the current dispensation and even influenced the voting pattern in the just concluded elections.

He put Nigeria on the world map for the wrong reasons.

It can never be well with him, family and generations yet unborn.
