Just concerned about this since we know it's material stuff and we merely meant to bury corpse with white cloths, Do married people get buried with their rings On?

Abu Musab al-Barnawi, who was just named by officials of the terrorist group, ISIS, as leader of their affiliate, Boko Haram, has issued an audio statement attacking Abubakar Shekau, who for six years had served as the voice and face of the deadly Islamist group based in northeast Nigeria.

Mr. al-Barnawi’s taped message said Mr. Shekau had violated Islamic tenets by killing fellow Muslims, including members of the terrorist Islamist group, living a life of luxury with his wives, neglecting starving women and children, and failing to provide food and weapons for insurgent fighters.

“We are here to send a message across to Shekau who had released his own cassette and we tag our own ‘REVELATION,’” Mr. al-Barnawi said in his long audio remark obtained by SaharaReporters.

The shadowy leader anointed by ISIS spoke in a rambling and caustic manner, addressing his critical remarks at Mr. Shekau. Accusing the famously mercurial Shekau of liking to expose other people, Mr. al-Barnawi said, “We will also expose him.”

The new ISIS-backed leader stated that the time had ended when Mr. Shekau could “appear and say whatever he likes, whether true or false. Everyone must listen and say Imam has spoken, but today it is over.”

The ISIS-endorsed leader warned, “Anyone that challenge us, we will also challenge and change from his falsehood. Islam did not belong to your father or mother neither did it belong to our mother or our father. Islam belongs to Allah and no single man can claim sole ownership of Islam.”

The message, which was produced and timed to counter an earlier one by Mr. Shekau, seemed to indicate that Mr. Shekau’s increasing attacks on Islamic targets perhaps cost him the support of ISIS. Said Mr. al-Barnawi: “We released our own cassette and you will see how [Shekau] is justifying killing people and boasting. We are not killers like him. If our intention were to kill, we would have killed him. His close security [guards] are our own people, unknown to him. Right now in his house, there are our own agents and he can’t trace them. If he touches us they will crush him back. That is how Allah works like a miracle.”

Below are excerpts from Mr. al-Barnawi’s audiotape:

“[Shekau] was boasting that if we attempt to escape from his empire his men will kill us. He is a liar. I am not the only one that left, but eight of us left, all kitchen cabinet members. And right now two other top members are on the way to join us. We are all here. The issue of Islam is not personal, there is no sentiment in Islam, and that is why we are here. Nobody can dare us or stop us from it, no matter how he brags. Here we are on our own. Can’t you see how we left your empire? We left women and everything and just left with guns on our shoulders. We would have crushed anyone that stood on our way.

“We said we would not touch anyone but just go on our way to our religion. We will fight for the cause of Allah and work against personalizing Jihad and against unjustifiable killings and shedding of blood. We are out because you came out with your own cassette. We want our people to know proper Islam because Allah in the Quran forbids killings without justification. Just like Allah gave us power to kill infidels, there are those he said we shouldn’t kill without reason.
“In the Quran, Allah forbade Muslims from killing one another…and he also taught against killing in secret. If it is serious punishment, it must be public for people to know and witness it. But once you see killings in secret, there is something fishy and this is what we noticed with Shekau. What he is doing is not Islam. He said we should follow him and we agreed, but we later realized it is another thing and we said no. We have to stick to the Quran and what Allah said, not [follow] someone’s waywardness.
“We have vowed to say the truth. If we will be killed, let us be killed. If we will be eaten, let us be eaten up and if we will be roasted, let us be roasted. We will not leave our fellow brothers in the dark; this message of mine will get to Sambisa Forest. It will get into Shekau’s house. We have agents that will convey the message no matter how he dislikes it.
“Almighty Allah is against killings of Muslims. Allah is saying better heaven and earth fall than innocent soul of a Muslim, but you have Shekau who likes killing our own people. He is always boasting that he will kill, he will kill. Okay, continue to kill, you will also be killed. Who will dwell here forever? Everybody will die. You will also die some day. And there is no one that will die without reaching his day of death. You can see we are here alive, all of us here sitting. Anyone that Allah did not kill you cannot kill him. The same way, you cannot stop anyone Allah willed his death.
“That is why when someone boasts to kill a man, the man asks him, ‘Why are you in a haste?’ The man says, ‘If my time has come, you will not stop me from going.’ There are several verses that forbid killing of a fellow Muslim unjustifiably. Our vow that we will practice Islam is real. That is why we left our parents, homes, our cars and everything and came to this forest. How can we then agree to see you bringing strange ideologies?
“In one of our Shura meetings, someone asked Shekau how he felt about Muslims running away from their own land to the land of the infidels for their own safety. Shekau said [the Muslims] are also infidels and should be killed like the infidels. These people are not infidels, they are Muslims running for their lives, and he insisted that they are infidels and should be killed. Shekau is ignorant of the fact that it is forbidden for a Muslim to be killed after being chased out of Islamic Caliphate to a strange land and [when the Muslim] has not taken part in any conspiracy against Muslims. [Shekau] is ignorant and needs to be taught the rudiments of Islam. Islam is not his creation. Only Allah defines who is a Muslim and who is an infidel. Even if you travel to a foreign land, you have no jurisdiction to say who is who until you have a basis. Anywhere you go you can’t say who is who. You can’t kill and take away people’s properties.
“We fled from him with our religion for good. It is there in the books, when you are not allowed to do Islam you have the liberty to flee and follow what you know is right. Shekau, we did not touch you, don’t touch us. If you touch us we will touch you and we are many against you. We have people in your house and even your present hideout. You don’t know us enough; we are ready for anyone to kill us, even if it is infidels, for so long as we will make heaven and be before Allah. That is why we are countering the false ideology you are spreading.
“[Shekau] said he is looking for our information. We also have your information and we are close to you. What kind of thing is this? There were states we captured as part of the Islamic Caliphate and you allowed men to be looting property. We told you and you did not take action. We don’t know this brand of Jihad; you kill children, women and bomb people. We should be looking for infidels and not our own people. How can we be killing people in the mosques when there are churches, barracks? It is nonsense and Allah will ask you [about it] if you don’t repent. Another thing is, [Shekau] is interpreting verses with his own opinions and the cassettes are being spread. Stop interpreting the Quran with your own opinion. We who lived with [Shekau] knew his conduct. What is not in the Hadith, he will insist that it is there. Kai, Imam, all these interpretations are your own creation. Please go and seek education and knowledge from those that know.

“Nobody should believe him. People should seek understanding and not depend on his lies. Haba Imam, have you forgotten our past? Is this how we started? You forgot your days in our learning place with your two items of clothing, learning under the tree? And today you are arrogant and killing your own people because you have now got an empire?

“You forgot how you rushed to pass a verdict over the case of a man over sheep? And you rushed a judgment that saw the man’s hand amputated. The same thing happened in Bama. Five of us were sitting, and the issue came up of some fighters who married slaves. He quickly said they should be killed. The killings spread to eleven persons. Later on, the allegation turned out to be false. Some fighters murmured and said there would be no peace with his injustices. And all these are not part of Islam. People complained of several acts, but because [Shekau] was enjoying power he refused to take action. Who killed the Malam in Banki? Is it not you that killed him? The same thing happened to a man you brought inside and killed.
“You forgot one day I told you that your wives are not aware that their husbands are alive. You dismissed me with a wave of hand. And you said their husbands should be killed. Is it not you that killed them? Are you not the one that killed Malam Abdulmalik? He is popularly known as Baba Abdulmalik, and you killed him. And you are killing them secretly when, in Islam, there is nothing like secret killings even of an infidel. Even if it is Buhari that comes to you following an agreement, if you killed him, it is not Islam. Even if it is an infidel, if you killed him it is not Islam. If you are afraid of their treaty, tell them we are enemies, instead of drawing people close to kill them.
“Where did you see the judgment of Allah secretly done? And you said you are following Allah. Is it the Prophet that said this? This is not Islam, Shekau.
“You killed Ameer Falluja because he was close to Abdulmalik. When he entered, he never came out. The same way, you killedBagomna because he bought a house in Amchide. If someone bought a house, is that a reason to kill him? With your hand you killed him. Bagomna came on a bike, and you just killed him. When we asked you why you said since he went to war he did not return. You are a liar; you killed him on your own. Is this Islam? Are you sure it is Islam you are doing, killing war commanders, and killing clerics?
“You killed Mustapha, you killedKakaali, and you told women that they died in the war, but insiders knew that you killed them. It was Aliyu that you asked to call one of them. You remember where you used to stay in one location. On getting there one day they called the man guarding the place. When he came, you killed him. When the second [man] appeared you repeated the same. From that moment did we not start failing and losing the war? You can’t think and repent. When we fought infidels in Baga, did you remember the bravery [the men you killed] exhibited? Did you do half of their gallant fight? You are just sitting down; they will bring you cars, money, and other valuables and you still have the guts to betray them.
“The same way you killed one man on trivial grounds that he was gossiping. Yet his contribution to this cause was incredible. He was producing guns, and you just wasted him. And you wanted to kill one Aliyu and something happened. You wanted him killed, but failed and he succeeded in killing one of the two you sent to kill him. Is this Jihad? Is it not you that killed Mujaheed? Is it not you that killed Umar? Is it not you that killedAbumariam? Abumariam and Mujaheed were killed together by you. What did they do to you? Can’t people tell you the truth? That is why some of us that want to tell you the truth fled so that you don’t kill us. And now that we are away, you can’t kill us unless we kill ourselves. We believe in Allah and have our own battalions. Send your agents and see a surprise. None of them can come here; we will finish them. You also killed Abdullahi because of a dream. You keep telling people rubbish about leaders that killed their fighters. Those leaders killed in the open, but you killed secretly.
“When Malam Umar was going to honor [Shekau’s] invitation, he called me and explained that Shekau had sent for him, but he had sent words pleading for forgiveness. When he told me, I said he should believe in Allah and submit to his faith. When Umar went, [Shekau] came out and asked for a knife and a dagger. Very close to the river [Shekau] killed Umar. Is this Allah’s verdict? This is Haram for Shekau to make Muslims kill their brothers. Shekau be careful, we are not part of this; I repent and will never follow you. I will never go back. If you fear Allah, you should better repent. We have revolted against your ideology and now cling to the real ideology of Allah. We are not part of a caliphate of injustices and shedding of blood. We are not part of a religion that is not dictated by Allah. We are with our leader, [ISIS commander] Al-Baghdadi. If you say you will not follow him, we will know the truth. Anyway, you have revolted and are deceiving people. You even said it in your cassette that you were forced; that you only bear fake allegiance fearing that there would be an internal revolt against you. Shekau killed many fighters, and we have exposed a few [of his victims].
“Another case of Shekau’s insensitivity is abandoning fighters to hunger [as well as] women and children who go without food while he is enjoying with his own family.
“Last year, 20 children died of malnourishment. Recently, 15 babies died in one day due to starvation. I have a recorded message here, and I will play it here for all to hear.
(The audio was played and Shekau was heard saying the following: “That children are dying, let even 100, 000 die now. Nonsense, am I the one holding them? I can only do what I can. Am I here to breed babies? You came disturbing me. Who told you my duty is to look after babies? Who told you my duty is to look after fighters? If this is what you are talking about, then it is you that should look after me. Is this what Quran said? What do you mean?”).
Abu Musab al-Barnawi message continued:
“Hear him saying that it is not his duty. Let us teach you, Imam. It is your responsibility to look after fighters and ensure their welfare. Go and study the Quran. It is not me that wrote, but it is there in the Quran. Anything that was given to you, you must provide for the welfare of the fighters. Imagine him in the cassette I played saying Allah said fighters should feed him. Tell us where in the Quran Allah said we should feed you? We know it is your responsibility to feed us and give us money for chicken and all our needs. This is the truth, Imam.
“Even [when fighters] advance towards enemies, [Shekau] doesn’t make logistics available. The other time, we lost plenty of gas and fuel tofire. Before, you ruled over us, but now we are free. Another thing that made us leave you is because you don’t listen to your cabinet. If we follow Shekau, we will never make heaven. That is why we left. Stop giving opinionated fatwa.
“You don't listen and accept our views. Even [Boko Haram founder, killed in 2009] Mohammed Yusuf, he would write his Friday preaching and table it before us for debate and scrutiny. We would collectively go through and work on it. But you refused [to do the same]. Are you more educated than Mohammed Yusuf? Is it not in my place that you were studying with your two items of clothes and under a tree in Maiduguri?
“Another thing is Shekau doesn't make weapons available for fighters. People fighting a war are left with no weapons. We have lost many territories in our emerging Islamic caliphate to infidels because of your laxity. You are the cause.
“This was the beginning of our revolt against you. If you leave us alone, we will leave you alone. If you continue antagonizing us, we will also continue. If you repent, we will accept you and embrace you. You should repent and fear Allah. This is the open letter to you.
“In our Shura meetings, there was a complaint that jihadists’ wives were taken away while they were fighting for Allah. What did you do? You did nothing, and fighters saw how you don't bother about their welfare. You just go home and sleep with your wives and slaves while we are suffering. We are not with you.”

In your first application, was there Ghana stamp on the passport?

Nope! I was done with school and back to Nigeria before I went for that interview, not been to Ghana since then

LagosismyHome:
Dont over blow an issue or put a spotlight on yourself.......... People get denied for b1b2 everyday . Its not new, so just moved on from it quietly . The key word is quietly . You were not spotted for fake document or banned. I think You are overthinking this thing . You were denied probably due to lack of home ties, leave that reason like that and if asked , thats the reason or state the exact reason on the 214b. this long story is left for your ears and the agent ................. .Fill your new application honestly and focus on that . Do not create unnecessary attention . this is not needed ooo defamed or misappropriated informations . you were suppose to take ownership for DS160 information so blaming the agent is just one words against the other........ Focus on the future , how u can best sell yourself in the interview , prepare well and commit it to God or who you serve .

your travel history plays no or little part in the future. Yes some people who are frequent flyers get US visa easier however so many with no travel history get US visa (very many) . Just be honest , You say you never traveled or got visa and was too busy to go.

Okay thanks so much! But I can just think of something to say on why I didn't travel to Kenya when I got the visa.

I need help on advise please, this is it? In 2014 I went for interview at the American embassy on b1 / b2 that's visit and it was actually an agent who did it all, I could remember bits he said I was a final year student in lasu and studied banking and finance or so!! And I was denied.

Actually I have never been to lasu I finished from a sch in Ghana. I actually dont know why he lied then. But he insisted that's the only way I can get visa but I was denied.

I have always been an aviation enthusiasts either been a pilot or flight dispatch, althrough if I knew how to go about the American visa documentation then I wouldn't have allowed it but I was more like a novice with no knowledge of anything atal about travelling.

So this is the case, I realised I can actually just apply to IFOD Texas aviation school and apply for i-20 and just fill everything myself that has to do with documentation without anyone's help. My problem now is that I can actually apply for the IFOD with just my high sch certification as my only sch leaving cause I don't want problems with my previous documentation 3yrs back. Because you don't need bsC to apply going for the course you can just use WAEC

So I heard there's a space in the application to signify if u have ever defamed or misappropriated informations or so? I don't know if I should just be honest and say yes because I don't want it to tally with my course now cause this time I want to be entirely honest and genuine because just this i-20 is costing me $500 and I have my course fee programmed down which they want me to pay after I have been granted the visa. I just want honesty and I wouldn't want that past interview to hunt me because even my BSc cert I have not gone back to Ghana to pick them up, not interested in it at all I just want to be a pilot or flight dispatch.

What should I do please when I fill the application form

N:B That passport has been virgin for long and 2months back I wanted to just travel to Kenya to disvirgin the passport and as well go for vacation so I got the visa to Kenya for 3 months but somehow got too busy for something else and I didn't go to Kenya again and the visa has expired. What should I do... I have a older passport which I was using back then in Ghana schooling days but that has expired so that's why I got another one which I got Kenyan visa on but didn't go? Help me what should I do.. my i-20 is already on the way to 9ja.

Just saw this on facebook and felt like sharing with some of your people that find joy in insulting your mother or disobeying her? Mothers are priceless.

Imagine how a 4yrs old just kept on staying with his mom's corpse for days and waiting for her to wakeup and you can't but feel sad and imagine how much it feels to lose a mother.

Mother's are the greatest to have on earth.

But I believe he would Try his best, Thanks All

Good evening please!! A friend needs help on what to do in a certain situation. This is the case, Dude is actually An American Citizen with his green passport and he also own a Nigerian passport, he got his ticket to fly to Nigeria on Monday morning from Dallas (U.S.A) to Lagos and he just realised he can't find his Nigerian passport but he has the American passport. If he wants to drive to Atlanta which is the closest Nigerian embassy to get Nigerian Visa on his American Passport ! It takes about 3 working days.

And his flight is already scheduled for Monday morning, normally If he had his nigerian passport he normally fly with it to Nigeria without visa as far as he has a flight ticket but he comes back into America with his green P!!

Please advise on what he can do? Can he get Nigerian Visa at point of entry here in muritala or when he wants to fly!! Somebody please advise

@op, where is the source of this news?

Google am sef! U wil get not only 'sauce' but 'maggi' sef

A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, on Friday returned to the All Progressives Congress.
Mr. Ribadu said in a statement he posted on his Facebook page that he rejoined the party online on Friday, and then hosted officials of the party from his Bako Ward in Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Then on Friday, he visited the Yola South secretariat of the APC to present himself to the party.
He had left the party for the Peoples Democratic Party in 2014.
Mr. Ribadu, a former presidential candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, explained that his return to the APC was triggered by his belief that all politics were local and that almost everyone around him who started politics with him believed the time had come for them to make sacrifices and concession.
He said, “My decision to return to the APC was triggered by my belief that all politics are local. Almost everyone around me, and with whom we started my political journey believed the time had come for us to make sacrifices and make concessions. That is in addition to the unbelievable love that my friends in the APC have showered on me in the past months.
“They demonstrated in words and action that they wanted me back home. The intractable crises in the PDP also made it impossible for one to contribute to the necessary task of building a viable opposition platform for our country.
“I also did a deep and long reassessment of the circumstances that warranted my exit from the APC in the first place. I left the APC in 2014 owing to fundamental disagreements with the ways the chapter of the party in my state was run after it fell into some hands.”
PREMIUM TIMES had reported on Tuesday that the Adamawa State chapter of the APC was wooing Mr. Ribadu back.


The former EFCC boss is one of the founding leaders of the party, but defected to the PDP in 2014, a few months to the 2015 general elections.
He left the APC after the impeachment of former Governor Murtala Nyako by the State House of Assembly in 2014.
He was reportedly disappointed that the APC leadership could not save Mr. Nyako from impeachment.
He became the governorship candidate of the PDP in Adamawa in the April 11, 2015 election but lost to the incumbent, Jubrilla Bindow.
This newspaper also reported on Tuesday that the Adamawa State chapter of the APC wrote Mr. Ribadu, asking him to return to his “home party.”
The letter, dated, June, 22, 2016, reads in part:
“Given your track records and progressives nature, we strongly belief APC is where you belong to.
“We are also mindful of the efforts and contributions you made during the merger without which the merger would have been difficult.
“To this end we reaffirm our request for you to come home to APC and assist and contribute to the success of the APC government both at state and national level.”
It was learnt that at the time the APC was making the request, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party was also pressuring him to serve as national chairman to “reorganise the PDP as it readies itself to reclaim power in 2019″.
Below is Mr. Ribadu’s statement announcing his return to the APC
Today I heeded the calls on me to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC), a party of which I was a founding member.
I re-registered as a member of the APC last night through the party’s online portal. After that, the leadership of the party in my Bako ward of Yola South Local Government Area visited me in my Yola residence to welcome me back to their fold.
This afternoon, I visited the Yola South secretariat of the party to present myself and submit to the leadership as a loyal party man.
My decision to return to the APC was triggered by my belief that all politics are local. Almost everyone around me, and with whom we started my political journey believed the time had come for us to make sacrifices and make concessions. That is in addition to the unbelievable love that my friends in the APC have showered on me in the past months.


They demonstrated in words and action that they wanted me back home. The intractable crises in the PDP also made it impossible for one to contribute to the necessary task of building a viable opposition platform for our country.
I also did a deep and long reassessment of the circumstances that warranted my exit from the APC in the first place. I left the APC in 2014 owing to fundamental disagreements with the ways the chapter of the party in my state was run after it fell into some hands.
Some colleagues and I tried hard to reposition the fold and save the then APC administration from an orchestrated impeachment plot. We didn’t succeed.
Events in the last 15 months have addressed many of the issues and healed some of the wounds. More so, with the genuine and sincere invitations I received since last year to retrace my steps into the party, I decided to return after consulting family and political associates at all levels.
I would like to appreciate all those members of the party who privately and publicly prodded me to return to the party. My appreciation also goes to the leadership of our party, from my ward in Bako to the national leadership, for the enthusiasm they showed in having me back.

Bless you Sis!!
