ISIS Names New Boko Haram Leader



Islamic State, also called ISIL (Islamic State In Iraq and The Levant), has announced a new leader for the insurgent group, Boko Haram. ISIL referred to Abu Musab al-Barnawi, who was previously spokesman for Boko Haram, as the new leader replacing Abubakar Shekau.

Mr. al-Barnawi is featured in the latest issue of an ISIS magazine, the BBC has reported. The magazine makes no reference to Mr. Shekau.

The eccentric Mr. Shekau was last seen in a Boko Haram propaganda video in March 2015, one of many footages released in his years of leading a brutal campaign against the Nigerian state.

In one of the videos, Shekau pledged allegiance to ISIS, which was originally based in Syria and Iraq. ISIS has several offshoots now in other countries including Libya.

Mr. Shekau took over as Boko Haram leader after the group’s founder, Muhammad Yusuf, died in police custody in July 2009. Boko Haram became more deadly and radicalized under his leadership.

In his current role as Managing Director for Ecobank Zimbabwe and Cluster Head for the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) zone, he has been responsible for driving Ecobank’s businesses in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique and Democratic Republic of Congo, in addition to spearheading the expansion of the Ecobank franchise into Angola.

Mr. Sackey’s appointment follows a reorganisation at Ecobank earlier in the year, which created four geographical units: Nigeria with head office in Lagos; Anglophone West Africa with its centre in Accra; French West Africa (the francophone West African Economic and Monetary Union or ‘UEMOA’) based in Abidjan; and Central, Eastern and Southern Africa with its centre in Nairobi.

Dan Sackey’s previous positions include those as Managing Director of Ecobank Rwanda,

Deputy Group Risk Manager and Regional Risk Manager. His new appointment takes effect from 1 September 2016. He replaces former Ecobank Ghana Managing Director Samuel Adjei, who was appointed Managing Director of Ecobank Kenya and Group Executive, Central, Eastern and Southern Africa earlier this year.

Dan Sackey holds a Masters in Business Administration with specialisation in International Banking and Finance from the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom and a Bachelor of Science degree in Administration (Accounting Option) from the University of Ghana’s School of Administration..




Donald Trump’s remarks about women reflect ‘darkness of his soul’ – Will Smith



Top Hollywood actor Will Smith has criticised Presidential hopeful Donald Trump over history of misogynistic comments especially one where he called a woman ‘a fat pig’ and says Trump’s remarks reflect ‘darkness’ of his soul’.

“For a man to be able to publicly refer to a woman as a fat pig, that makes me teary,” Smith toldnews.com.au in an interview posted Tuesday. “And for people to applaud, that is absolutely f—ing insanity to me,” he added. “It’s absolutely collective insanity.”

Smith also said he would throw out any of his sons if any of them uses the kind of offensive language Donald Trump uses.

“If one of my sons — I am getting furious just thinking about it — if one of my sons said that in a public place, they couldn’t even live in my house anymore,”

The former “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” acknowledged there was a lengthy list of offensive comments Trump has made, but his views on women were “such an absolute illustration of a darkness of his soul.”

“For me, deep down in my heart, I believe that America won’t and we can’t (elect Mr Trump). Of all the things he has said, and we could go through the laundry list, that was the one that was such an absolute illustration of a darkness of his soul. I just cannot figure out how people can clap for that.”

Some of the recipients of Trump’s vitriol include Rosie O’Donnell, Arianna Huffington and Bette Midler.

“I think as much as we want to believe that love is the greatest human motivator, it’s not. Fear is. Fear is the most dangerous and powerful motivator because when a human being gets scared, fights or flight kicks in. And there is this really separatist non-inclusive xenophobic, racist wave that is sweeping the globe that is making us pull apart farther than putting us together.

"The importance of leaders is that they have to be level headed, they have to be calm, because when people get scared, they lose their morality and that reptile mind takes over. It’s the type of thing that you see in all forms of nature, but our leaders can’t be that.” Clearly enraged, he continues. “So, we are not even going to pretend it is going to happen. I have faith in America. America has had really critical times but the good (people) tend to make their way to the top.”




Patoranking Arrested At Entebbe International Airport, Uganda for Failling to Adhere to Rules


Nigerian Singer Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie better known by his stage name Patoranking, was Yesterday afternoon arrested at Entebbe International Airport for failure to adhere to check in rules.

“He failed to adhere to check-in rules and above all he had not secured his entry visa,” said the source who was at the Airport yesterday.

The source further said that Patoranking thought he was too ‘big’ and he would receive VVIP treatment upon arrival.

“He was just told to remove his cap for security check-up but he chose not to listen to instructions. He was denied entry and arrested for disobeying lawful check in orders.”

Patoranking who arrived at the Airport at around 16:00hrs, was detained for over 7 hours.

After countless times of apologising and begging, Patoranking was later released and granted entry visa.

Trying to show that he is a known celebrity, Patoranking first refused to accept entry visa saying he was disrespected and harassed by immigration officers.

He later coiled his small tail and headed to Hotel Africana where he addressed journalists.

Patoranking was in Uganda to market his latest music album titled ‘God over everything’.

The album features Wizkid, Elephant Man, Olamide, Phyno, Sarkodie and more.
