this is epitome of under development (poverty and illiteracy=ugliness).


it will not be out of place for govt to charge them for abetting terrorism and refusing to share information which is detrimental to national security with the authority

How did the brains of young Nigerians deteriorate so much? People just comment on articles they never read, and we claim to be educated.

Many commenter have lost their souls and humanity. The sorrows of others is seen as a game to those who are fortunate enough to not be in those shoes.
Those who consider themselves beautiful mock and look down on those they Consider ugly.
The "undefiled " mocks the raped, the free mocks the slave.
Where oh mankind, where is thine heart? Do not forget that life is Up and down, your beauty today may be erased by just 1freak accident on the next minutes. Your beautiful limbs lost within the flash of a light, your pearly white teeth fall out leaving a hole so vile no eye wants to behold it, Your unmolested body defiled by a gang of beasts in the calmest of night or day. You are what you are by grace do not for once think your tables can't turn.

I weep for the youth of today. The fact that this article is even short is more annoying that some people still could not read first before commenting. Even a mere survey will show you the inverted comma on the "wives".

Later you see them open a thread and they will be like please pardon my grammatical errors...

This is so sad, some of the comments are so horrifying. These women are mothers and daughters yet you have the audacity to call them ugly, wicked etc. Who are you? Have you experienced an once of their suffering, have you been raped or torched or beaten?! Yet you call a woman old enough to be your mother ugly and wicked.
May the Lord forgive your ignorance, you don't know better. embarassed

AnnaKareninaFan:
By Andy Spyra/Siobhán O’Grady for FOREIGN POLICY

Laraba Bitrus was working in a small grocer’s shop in the northeastern Nigerian town of Gwoza when Boko Haram militants invaded. With nowhere to run, the armed men took her captive, beat her with a whip, and forced her to watch as they sawed off her uncle’s head. After 11 days, she fled on foot, traveling through the bush to Madagali, where she stayed until the extremists took over that small town as well, forcing her to flee again: this time further south to Yola, the capital of Adamawa state, where she now lives in the catholic St. Theresa's refugee camp.

She was one of the lucky ones.


More than six years into their bloody campaign in northern Nigeria and the surrounding Lake Chad region, Boko Haram extremists have killed around 20,000 people. Entire villages have been razed to the ground; men and boys executed or forcibly recruited to join the militants’ ranks; and women and girls taken against their will as wives and household slaves. As part of the group’s brutal effort to establish an Islamic caliphate ruled under a strict interpretation of sharia, its militants have conducted mass rape.

And though Yola is safer than the most besieged areas of the country farther north, it is not free from the fear imposed by the group, which pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in March 2015. Thousands of displaced people are still seeking shelter in the city of 350,000 residents. Despite some critical military successes on the part of the Nigerian government, and a regional taskforce supported by Chad, Niger, Cameroon, and Benin, which have caused the group to lose control of much of its territory (an area once estimated as the size of Belgium), Boko Haram continues to terrorize parts of Nigeria.

Women are especially vulnerable.

These photographs were taken in a safe location in Yola, away from the St. Theresa's refugee camp on a hot day in January. There was a single room set aside, where these portraits — of some 40 women — could be taken in relative quiet from the morning through the afternoon. Apart from the bits of conversation and interview, the only noise was the audible click of the camera’s shutter. The only source of light came from the room’s one window.


As these women — the ones who chose to speak of their captivity — shared pieces of their stories, an air of defiance permeated the room. It varied from woman to woman in its intensity, but it never entirely disappeared.

Mary John Ibrahim, a Christian woman in her early 50s, was working in the government hospital in Gwoza when Boko Haram overran the area and burned down the hospital.

With many other residents, she fled in panic to the bush, only to be later captured by Boko Haram and brought back to Gwoza, where she was held for two weeks. During that time, she was forced to convert to Islam; when she refused, she was beaten severely and starved as punishment. One night, she was able to flee and hide in the mountains along the Cameroonian border, where, for one month, she was hidden and fed by local Muslims, who later on helped her cross the border to Cameroon.

During the takeover of Gwoza, 60-year-old Tani Bitrus was captured alongside 50 other women by Boko Haram. Her husband was executed by fighters.

During her monthlong captivity, she and the other women were compelled at gunpoint to learn Islamic teachings; when they confessed to being unable to read the Quran, the women were beaten. One day, while on the way to the market, Tani and three other women escaped, helped by Muslim women of the same Salidva tribe. Eventually, they escaped to Cameroon and, after that, to the St. Theresa's camp in Yola.

But oftentimes, instead of returning to supportive communities, those women who manage to escape Boko Haram return to an unexpected stigma. According to a February report published by UNICEF and International Alert, these women are often referred to as “Boko Haram wives.” And for those who become pregnant after being raped in captivity, their children are thought tainted because they have “bad blood.”

Many of the women from Gwoza — like Laraba, Mary John, and Tani, who now live in the St. Theresa's camp — are afraid to go home.

well fabricated, there is no iota of truth in the whole of the story. i doubt if boko boys can discriminate between any religion. as a matter of fact Muslim communities in the North east suffer more than any community especially in Bornu.

and some dullards in blue chamber are busy agitating for Islamic state ...


the $800m dollars fund from world bank is going to end up for arm procurement and empowerment of more jihadist .. after all the oil rich South is going to service/repay the loan with her natural resources, almagamation of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria is a serious threat to the Nation.... how I wish West and East can forget the difference and formed a formidable allies and match out of Nigeria....

but some saboteurs from West will rather be a slave under the pay Masters than have a total freedom...

I don't give a Bleep what happens in North..... Buhari should tell us the sponsor of Boko haram
