Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau
dismissed Nigerian military claims of
his death in a new video obtained by
AFP on Thursday and said the
militants had implemented strict
Islamic law in captured towns.
"Here I am, alive. I will only die the
day Allah takes my breath," Shekau
said, adding that his group was
"running our... Islamic caliphate" and
administering strict sharia
punishments.
Nigeria's military said last week that
Shekau was dead and that a man who
had been posing as the group's leader
in the videos had been killed after
fighting with troops in the far
northeast.
Security analysts and the United
States questioned the credibility of the
military's claim.
The new 36-minute video showed
Shekau, in combat fatigues and black
rubber boots, standing on the back of
a pick-up truck and firing an anti-
aircraft gun into the air.
Standing in front of three camouflaged
vans and flanked by four heavily
armed, masked fighters, he then
speaks for 16 minutes in Arabic and
the Hausa language widely spoken in
northern Nigeria.
There was no indication of where or
when the video was shot.
The heavily bearded Shekau, who
appeared to be the same as those in
previous clips, said the military's
claim that he was dead was
propaganda.
"Nothing will kill me until my days are
over... I'm still alive. Some people
asked you if Shekau has two souls. No,
I have one soul, by Allah," he said,
apparently reading from a script.
"It is propaganda that is prevalent. I
have one soul. I'm an Islamic student.
"I'm the Islamic student whose
seminary you burnt... I'm not dead," he
added, apparently referring to the
destruction of the group's mosque in
the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, in
2009.
There have been two previous claims
by Nigeria's security forces that
Shekau was dead -- once in 2009
during unrest in Maiduguri -- and
again in 2013.
Following each previous claim Boko
Haram has issued denials in video
messages.
Elsewhere in the new video, the
militant leader said the group had
implemented strict Islamic law in the
towns that it had captured in recent
weeks.
"We are running our caliphate, our
Islamic caliphate. We follow the
Koran... We now practise the
injunctions of the Koran in the land of
Allah," he said.
The group also claimed to have shot
down a Nigerian air force jet that went
missing nearly three weeks ago.
An air force spokesman said the jet
was missing.
"For any group to claim they shot it
down is mere propaganda and
rubbish," Air Commodore Dele Alonge
told AFP.

A Muslim academic has opened a gay-
friendly mosque in South Africa, despite
receiving death threats and fierce criticism
from parts of the local Muslim
community.Women will also be allowed to
lead prayers at Taj Hargey’s”Open Mosque”
in Cape Town.
Mr Hargey, a professor at the Muslim
Educational Centre of Oxford in the UK, told
the BBC’s Newsday programme it was time
for a “religious revolution”.
“We are opening the mosque for open-
minded people, not closed-minded
people.In South Africa 20 years ago, there
was a peaceful revolution changing from
apartheid to democracy and we need to
have a similar development in the area of
religion,” he said
He says the mosque will help counter
growing Islamic radicalism. Mr Hargey, who
was born in Cape Town, said the mosque
would welcome people from all genders,
religions and sexual orientations.
s well as leading prayers, women would be
allowed to pray in the same room as men, he
said.
He contrasted this to the current Islamic
practice which sees “women at the back of
the street, back of the hall, out of sight, out
of mind”.
However, members of Cape Town’s large
Muslim community have taken to social
media to criticise the new mosque, with
some labelling him a “heretic” or “non-
believer”.
One group tried to block the opening of the
mosque.

The Nigerian government has confirmed that a
medical doctor has been infected with the
Ebola virus.
The Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu,
told reporters in Abuja on Monday that the
doctor that treated Patrick Sawyer, the
Liberian who died of Ebola in Lagos, has
contacted the disease.
Mr. Chukwu said about eight people, who
came in contact with the late Mr. Sawyer, have
now been quarantined, with two of them
showing what appears to be symptoms of the
disease.

Unless you are coming from Mars, you must
have heard or even created a Facebook
account to socialize with friends and family.
We all owe this to a young billionaire/
entrepreneur who is currently the CEO of
Facebook Inc, Mark Zuckerburg.
Here are some interesting yet little known
facts you probably never knew about the 30
year old Social Network “Hero”.

1. Where you wondering why blue was the
choice color for Facebook? Well, Mark is red
and green color blind. Meaning he sees more
of blue than any other color. He once
reportedly said to ABC News, “Blue is the
richest color for me. I can see all of blue.”

2. He got job offers when he was still in high
school from both AOL and Microsoft after he
created Synapse, a program that used
artificial intelligence to learn users’ music-
listening habits.

3. Mark Zuckerberg’s interest in
programming was actually triggered by his
parents after they gifted him the book C++
for Dummies.

4. He invented Facemash in 2003. A
program that he created for finding out who
the most attractive person on campus was,
and that was a year before creating
facebook. The domain Facemash.com was
later sold in 2010 for $30201
.
5. You can’t block Mark on facebook.

6. He started Facebook with the domain
TheFacebook.com on February 4th, 2004. It
was actually meant for university grads back
then, but was thrown open to the public in
2006.

7. In Facebook’s early days, Mark used to
hand out a business card that read “I’m CEO
B***h”.

8. He owns a Hungarian sheepdog named
Beast, who has a Facebook page with 1.5
million fans.

9. When Mark applied into Harvard
University, he listed French, Hebrew, Latin,
and ancient Greek as languages he could
read and write.

10. Mark started learning Mandarin-Chinese
in 2010 to be able to communicate with his
girl friend’s (Chan) family since they were
Chinese.

11. He got married to Chan on May 19, 2012
in the backyard of the newlyweds’ Palo Alto,
Calif., home.

12. By July 2011, Zuckerberg became the
most-followed user on Google’s social
network Google+, overtaking Google co-
founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

13. You can find Mark on Twitter @finkd with
over 300K followers as at time of post and
just 19 tweets.

14. Zuckerberg considers himself an atheist.

15. He has remained a Vegetarian since
2011.

16. His favorite musicians include Daft Punk,
Lady Gaga, Shakira and Rihanna.

17. He became the world’s youngest
billionaire at the age of 23 in 2008 according
to a Forbes estimate. Then, he was ranked
785 on the World’s Billionaires list.

18. His full name is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg
and he was born on May 14, 1984, in White
Plains, New York into a comfortable, well-

still waiting 4 sepp Blatter ...at least he ve tried naaa even b4 I was born ....including. u.

Julio Humberto Grondona, FIFA’s vice-
president and head of the Argentine Football
Association (AFA), had died at the age of 82.
Grondona was admitted to a hospital with a
heart problem on Wednesday morning, but his
condition got worse very quickly throughout
the day and he eventually passed away.
He had been at the helm of affairs at the
Argentina FA for 35 years and was responsile
for the construction of the Ezeiza training
complex, which the national team uses now.......

Bitter Kola has been internationally verified to
inhibit d growth of the Ebola virus, hence an
interim cure. Anyone who u suspect is in
danger of getting d Virus is advised to
consume it. Eat it like food and there is no
overdose. Simply peel and chew!May God
protect us all, Amen! pls do not forget to
share cheers!!!!!!!.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garcinia_kola

A plant has been found to halt the deadly
Ebola virus in its tracks in laboratory
tests, scientists have said. They used a
compound from Garcinia kola, a plant
commonly eaten in West Africa.
Compounds from the plant
have also proved effective against some
strains of flu. If the anti-Ebola compound
proves successful in animal and human
trials, it will be the first medicine to
successfully treat the virus that causes
Ebola haemorrhagic fever - an often-fatal
condition.
The discovery was announced at the 16th
International Botanical Congress in St Louis
in the US.
Traditional origins
Dr Maurice Iwu, who set up and heads the
Bioresources Development and Conservation
Programme, led the research.
It started 10 years ago when researchers
were led to the plant by traditional native
healers who have used the plant for the
treatment of infectious diseases for
centuries.
"This is a very exciting discovery," said Dr
Iwu, who himself comes originally from a
family of traditional healers.
"The same forest that yields the dreaded
Ebola virus could be a source of the cure."
The Nigerian researchers claim they are a
step closer to a universally accepted cure
for Ebola virus, Dengue fever and
leishmaniasis. They claim the herbal
preparation has also been successfully used,
in clinical studies, to treat hepatitis B and
C, cancer, diabetes and tuberculosis.
The researchers from Halamin Herbal
centre, 10 George Innih Crescent, Apo
District, Abuja and Department of
Histopathology and Cytology, Jos University
Teaching Hospital (JUTH) Jos, Plateau State,
found that the poly herbal preparations-
DAABS2 and HEPATOSAAB- strengthen the
immune system through many cytokines
and chemokines regulations.
Amodu is also a member of the committee
inaugurated by the Director General of the
National Agency for Food Drug
Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dr.
Paul Orhii, to champion the development of
herbal medicine through scientific
validation of all the cure claims.
The yet to be published new study is titled
“Natural and Sustainable Alternative for
the Management of Dengue Fever in West
Africa.”
Also results of another study presented, in
1999, at the 16th International Botanic
Congress in St Louis, Missouri, United
States, indicate that bitter cola (Garcinia
kola), a plant widely used in traditional
African medicine may contain a compound
that is effective against Ebola virus disease.
Executive director of the Bio-resources
Development and Conservation Programme,
Prof. Maurice Iwu, explained that an
extract derived from the seeds of Garcinia
kola could inhibit this virus in cell culture
at non-toxic concentrations.
Iwu and his colleagues identified Garcinia
kola as a possible source of drugs using the
method called Corbel (clinical observation-
based ethnomedical lead).
Extracts from Garcinia kola seeds were
tested against many complex viral diseases.
The active compound, now known to be a
biflavonoid, was found to be active against
a wide range of viruses including the
influenza virus.
Iwu reveals last week: “The active substance
is an extract from Garcinia kola (bitter
kola) called Kolaviron, which contains
bioflavonoids and prenylated xanthones and
benzophenones.
“Work was done while a scientist at the
Division of Experimental Therapeutics of
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
Washington DC in collaboration with
Southern Research Institute (SRI).
“But no follow up. Others at Ibadan and
other Nigerian universities have done
follow-up work on Kolaviron.”
Fighting chance
The virus multiplies rapidly in the human
body and quickly overwhelms it, and in
advanced cases the patient develops high
fever and severe bleeding.
The Garcinia kola compound has been
shown to halt multiplication of the virus in
the laboratory. If repeated in humans, this
would give the body a chance to fight off
the virus.
The active compound is what is known as a
dimeric flavonoid, which is two flavonoid
molecules fused together.
Flavonoids are non-toxic and can be found
in orange and lemon rinds as well as the
colourings of other plants.
Drug hopes
The tests are in the early stages still, but the
researchers hope that if they continue to
prove successful the compound the US Food
and Drug Administration will put it on a
fast track - making a drug available to
humans within a matter of years.
"The discovery of these important properties
in a simple compound - flavonoids - was
very surprising," said Dr Iwu.
"The structure of this compound lends itself
to modification, so it provides a template
for future work.
"Even if this particular drug does not
succeed through the whole drug approval
process, we can use it to construct a new
drug for this deadly disease."
The Ebola virus was first documented in
1976 after an outbreak in Zaire, now the
Democratic Republic of the Congo - where
88% of the 318 human cases died.
More recently, a 1995 outbreak in the same
country had a death rate of 81% of the 315
infected.
There are four types of the virus - Ebola-
Zaire, Ebola-Sudan and Ebola-Ivory Coast
all affect humans, while Ebola-Reston has
so far only affected monkeys and
chimpanzees.
However, doctors have been unable to stop
the virus once infection has taken hold -
hence the disease has gained a terrifying
reputation.



how true can dz be.....

The woman’s relatives claim she
was shot to death by militant
Islamists for refusing to wear the
hijab….
According to BBC , Ruqiya Farah
Yarow was killed outside her hut near
the southern Somali town of
Hosingow by gunmen belonging to the
al-Shabab group, her relatives say.
They also alleged that the militants
had ordered her to put on a veil, and
then killed her after returning and
finding she was still not wearing one.
However, the al-Shabab group
through their spokesman have denied
the killing the woman.
Her relatives who pleaded anonymity
out of fear to the BBC that Mrs Yarow
was killed at about 07:30 (04:30
GMT).
Yarow was shot twice and died
instantly, they added.
She is survived by her husband and
children, the relatives said.
There are strict rules of behaviour,
including dress codes for men and
women by the Al-Shabab group
which controls much of southern and
central Somalia.
