More details have emerged from Boko Haram leader
Shekau‘s latest video. In the new video he is sending
out a message to the Nigerian soldiers as well as the
Nigerian government.
The video, which lasted for 36 minutes in Arabic and
Hausa, shows Shekau warning that there will be more
killings and attacks in the days to come. He boasted
about the ammunition his group has so far seized from
the Nigerian army, especially in Baga.
According to him the seized ammunition will be enough
to start a war against Nigeria.
He also warned neighboring countries – Chad,
Cameroon & Niger – of similar attacks.
In the video Shekau is standing in front of three patrol
jeeps mounted with anti-air assault guns was dressed in
his usual military khaki. He ended his speech by burning
a Nigerian flag, and replacing it with his group’s flag
that had a black background and white inscription.
He taunted the “kings of Africa” for their failure to halt
his campaign on Wednesday, boasting that his fighters
had “killed” the inhabitants of a Nigerian town.
“The kings of Africa – you are late! I challenge you to
attack me even now: I’m ready,” Abubakar Shekau said.

I had a conversation with friends in my car on the
way to work on Tuesday morning, and was amazed
that all four of them, in their late twenties to early
thirties had no idea what I was talking about. It
dawned on me that many in my generation do not
know much of what happened in Nigeria of say,
thirty years ago, and we therefore miss the lessons
from our history. Hence we repeat the mistakes made
a mere generation ago.
The question I asked was “who knows about
Maitatsine?” It is interesting that none did, in spite
of the obvious similarities between what Maitatsine
was in the late seventies to early eighties, and what
Boko Haram has been for the past five to six years.
Let me elaborate.
Maitatsine, whose real name was Mohammed Marwa
was born in a town called Marwa on the hazy border
of Nigeria with Cameroun. He started preaching in
Kano in 1945 and was exiled by the British Colonial
government when he began to foment trouble. While
preaching Islam, he claimed to be a prophet and a
Mujahid in the mould of the founder of the Sokoto
Caliphate, Usman Dan Fodio. He preached against
radios, watches, bicycles, cars, and possession of
any excess money. His following grew in Kano,
drawn from both almajiris and some middle class
youths who left home. They refused to mix with
other muslims, living in their own enclave, and it did
not take long before their practices conflicted with
the authorities. His growing following was such that
the Islamic religious leaders in the north at first
didn’t know what to do with him and his message.
Then they accepted him after he went on hajj to
Mecca in 1975. But in 1979, they rejected him, after
he rejected the prophethood of Mohammed (SAW)
and the Hadith and Sunnah .
However, at that time, Abubakar Rimi’s government
in Kano State belonged to Aminu Kano‘s People’s
Redemption Party, which was in the opposition to
Shehu Shagari ’s National Party of Nigeria which was
at the center. Hence, rather than nip Maitatsine in
the bud, the federal government and the state
government chose to dilly dally and play politics
with the matter, until Maitatsine’s sect grew. He was
arrested by the police a couple of times but always
managed to be released.
In the late seventies, people began to disappear in
Kano. Reports of people entering the sect’s
compound and not coming out became rife. The Emir
of Kano became very worried, as the sect members,
unlike other regular muslims did not respect his
authority – they respected only one authority, that of
their leader. In the years leading up to 1980, the
number of violent confrontations between Maitatsine
members and the police increased as the number of
sect members increased. The town was saturated
with expectations of the inevitable. When it
happened, it was on a Friday, after the Jumat
prayers. Maitatsine members had been stockpiling
weapons and more sect members from outside Kano
had come in, but the governments at the state and
federal level (represented by the police) had done
nothing about this. When the onslaught began, the
sect overran the mosques, churches, and police
stations. Clearly, the authorities had underestimated
the strength and organization of the sect. At the end
of the days of violence, over five thousand people
were dead. There were reports of sect members being
impervious to bullets, of sect members having a gaze
that paralyzed people that went out to fight them,
leaving the fellow helpless to be finished off.
The army eventually moved in, and overpowered the
sect, killing Mohammed Marwa, the leader.
Now, let’s do a little exercise, shall we? Imagine
everything as a mathematical equation, where each
thing I mention is a mere variable, replaceable with
another value. Now, replace Mohammed Marwa with
Mohammed Yussuf . Fast forward from late seventies/
early eighties to the present. Replace Kano State
with Borno State. Replace Shehu Shagari with
Goodluck Jonathan and NPN with PDP. Replace
Abubakar Rimi with Ali Modu Sherriff and PRP with
ANPP. Does Maitatsine increasingly look like Boko
Haram? In the way it started, grew, and in how the
governments at state and federal level played ruling
against opposition politics with them. How they were
allowed to create an enclave governed by their own
rules? How they had increasing confrontations with
the police as the sect members grew? How they held
themselves separate from other muslims and the
general condemnation by other muslims? How they
attacked and killed other muslims? The anti-
government, anti-tech message? How they were
allowed to stockpile weapons? The explosive
confrontation that led to many deaths? The killing of
their leader?
Now, let’s see how Maitatsine grew after their
leader’s death. Did they end? You guessed right,
they didn’t. The same way a Shekkau led the Boko
Haram insurgency after Mohammed Yusuf was killed
in Maiduguri , after 1980, a certain Musa Makaniki fled
to Yola with other Maitatsine members and in 1984,
Kano was repeated in Yola, with one thousand
people dying and half of the sixty thousand
population of Yola ending up homeless. That was
after the 1982 riots in Bulumkuttu near Maiduguri by
Maitatsine members who had fled Kano, and in
Kaduna, leaving three thousand dead. After Musa
Makaniki’s Yola riots were quelled by the military
under Buhari , he fled to Gombe where, a year later,
sect members again killed hundreds. He was then
pursued into Cameroun. He was finally arrested in
2004.
If we observe the way the sect fragmented after
Mohammed Marwa was killed in Kano in 1980, and
how the killings followed them to all the places they
fled to, we will do well to take the lessons from
these incidents in dealing with Boko Haram today.
There’s a State Of Emergency plus military onslaught
against them in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe today,
and a bounty on Shekau’s head. As the military
crushes the sect in those places, they must not lose
sight of the fact that fragments of the sect can and
will attempt to flee to other parts of Nigeria. They
will attempt to do exactly what they have done
before in the new places they flee to. Already, we are
seeing a prelude to this with the attack on Daura , in
the North West, an area where there had never been
a Boko Haram incursion until the full scale military
action against them in their former haunts. We must
learn from history, and use the lessons to prevent
this from happening, and save future thousands from
dying at the sect’s hands. The way the two sects
rose, plus Kalo Kata (read that up, dear reader)
between them in the nineties shows that the
emergence of each sect is symptomatic of some
deeper seated issues in the north that need to be
dealt with, otherwise, after Boko Haram is crushed,
in another decade, we’ll be dealing with another
insurgency. Finally, our politicians need to stop
irresponsible politicking with issues like
insurgencies. The same way NPN/PRP allowed
Maitatsine to fester due to politics, PDP/APC
politics contributed to Boko Haram’s ability to grow
into the monster it has become. The knee jerk
reactions from the yet to be fully formed APC to the
state of emergency is another example of playing
opposition politics rather than contributing to
dealing decisively with an insurgency. This has to
stop.

precursor of Boko Haram leaders”

the race to Aso Rock continues, the battle

In a surprising twist to the campaign process,
President Jonathan , through Reno Omokri , his
Special Adviser on New Media has outlined 11
challenging questions he wants Gen . Muhammadu
Buhari , Nigeria ’s former Head of State and his major
competitor in the presidential race to provide
answers to if he is really serious about ruling the
country once again after being a president during the
military era in 1983 .
Below are the questions as tweeted by Omokri :

SupaSunny:
This is a beautiful write-up. I think the problem with most ladies is the inability to identify potential.

Someone once told me 'A lady should only be in a relationship with a man who has identified his purpose and has achieved it or is working towards achieving it'.

Good men are not scarce, husbands are not scarce.

true sir,a man without purpose should not even marry

HUSBAND SCARCITY...a must read
This may not be the best time for me to write on
this because of misinterpretations, but I can no
longer resist the push. "Husband Scarcity" has
become one of the challenges faced by many women
today. If
you go to prayer houses,
majority of the intentions are prayer for a life
partner. And this calls for concern. Casting our
minds back to the time of our mothers and
grandmothers, was there really much of a
"Husband Scarcity" problem? Or, maybe there
were more men than women then, or there was
an adequate corresponding numbers of both
genders. I don't think so. Maybe then, the women
had values and were prepared to build a home
and not park into a built home. Then, once a
young man comes of age and can at least feed
himself and his wife, he goes out in search of a
wife and the woman really appreciates him and
helps him to build a future.
What am I really trying to insinuate? We created
what we now see as
"Husband Scarcity"
for ourselves. Today, the reverse is the case. Ask
an average girl to define her dream husband; you
get things like "he has to be tall, handsome, fair,
and rich, own a house at least, and be
presentable" and then she adds "God fearing" in
order not to sound so worldly. Then, check the
number of girls around you and the number of
men that meet that standard, and you will see the
problem. You would be hearing girls say, "I cannot
suffer in my father's house and then go and start
suffering with a man." What a wonderful dream! What if
from the beginning, you have everything you want and
there is no suffering, and later in the marriage, the
table turns around, then comes suffering? Will you run
away? No one prays for suffering, but it is good to start
small and end big, than start big and end small. The
problem is that the description majority of ladies give
of their ideal man is virtually the same. When 50 ladies
want the same kind of man and the man that fits what
they want is just 1 man, and the man can only pick
one. Then, what becomes of 49 others?
They simply start
lamenting of "Husband Scarcity".
Another irony of our time is that it is hard, due to the
face of our economy to find a man who is of marriage
age who possesses all those things
these ladies want, legally (except those involved in
Internet fraud); even the number of those in Internet
fraud is not enough to match all those searching for
already made husbands. If you look around, majority of
the ladies of substance, of good value and virtue, who
are ready to build a home with a man who has
prospects, are married and not complaining of
husband scarcity. The easiest way to find a husband
now, is to change your view of who a husband is. A
husband is that man God made and then saw that it
may be hard for man to really actualize the purpose for
making him, without a help mate and then made the
woman and gave to him, and he felt complete and
fulfilled. MARRIAGE IS NOT A POVERTY ALLEVIATION
PROGRAM. It is a
mission of building the family that will serve God here
on earth.
For those who see marriage as a way out of poverty, it
is a way into bondage. Women are
HOME BUILDERS, not HOME WARMERS... DON'T
CONFUSE A MAN'S PATH WITH HIS DESTINY.
Where he is today, may only be a route to where God
has destined him to be tomorrow. Another truth is that
YOU MAY BE THE ONLY FAST MEANS TO THAT HIS
DESTINATION. Join in
alleviating "husband scarcity". PICK UP THE RIGHT
VALUES.
I am not saying that you should pick anyone that
comes your way and talks of marriage, not all men are
husband materials. What I am insinuating is that you
should stop setting your standard on material
acquisitions or physical appearances. Look
metaphysical (beyond physical).
WHAT MAKES A MAN WHO HE IS, IS NOT WHAT HE
OWNS OR
HOW HE LOOKS, IT IS WHAT HE IS MADE UP OF. And
that
which he is made of is, most times, not seen with the
physical eyes, only its effects can be seen.
Marriage is a permanent thing. Whatever is seen is
temporal and that which is not seen is
permanent. Relax and go to God in prayer.
God did not just make Eve for making sake; He made
her for
Adam's need

WEIGHT LOSS
Think about all the weight you could lose if you couldn’t
afford all the delicious meals you enjoy every day.
It’s really hard to have the necessary self-discipline to
avoid a meal but if you are poor you don’t need that
discipline simply because you don’t have food.
Imagine if the financial circumstances make it
impossible for you to eat; it would be like having your
own personal diet coach, and having it for free!
Poor people don’t have business meetings, work
conferences or job training all day long; they just have
free time to spend inside their little houses.
Without obligations to their shareholders, partners and
regional managers, they can just take off spontaneously
and take naps on their small beds.
MISCONCEPTION..
Poor people have the wrong idea that being rich is a
piece of cake but we know it is absolutely exhausting.
We have so many possessions to manage and worry
about, many businesses to keep going and inversions to
preserve that we are always trying to figure out how to
simplify our lives because it’s very time consuming
having to manage a fortune.
Poor are extremely lucky, they don’t have nothing to
simplify because their lives are naturally simple since
they don’t possess anything and they have nothing to
care about.
We are all day trying to prioritize and decide how to
spend the little free time we have in our hands; poor
people don’t have that struggle, they can spend the
entire day doing nothing thanks to their lack of
possessions.
Sometimes when I listen other rich people trying to build
orphanage in Africa or get financial aid to poor countries
I realize how mean they are, why would they like to take
all this happy poor people out of poverty and take away
the reason of their happiness.
It’s also true that poor people can easily became rich
just by stop doing poor people activities like not going
to work or not investing wisely but clearly they don’t
want to.
They are poor because they want to, and that’s because
they know that it’s so much fun.
That’s why they don’t travel, don’t learn languages and
are always thinking about mundane things like being
hungry or paying bills.
Poor people have everything we have, just
smaller
Poor people have a lot less money than we do to spend
on their houses so their houses are not as nice as ours.
Maybe they only have one house or they can only afford
one or two bedrooms in that little house but all those
details are not important.
If you have the right perspective, you can be as
comfortable as you are without having 3 rooms to select
where to sleep every night.
My point is, poor people always make a big deal about
not being able to afford this or that when the truth is
that they can have anything that we have, just smaller.
They may not be able to afford a nice car but why can’t
they be happy using the bus? Not everything needs to
be done the way we do it, trust me.
Success.....
Being poor is something you have to be grateful for
because being poor empowers and motivates. If you’ve
got nothing then you’ve got nothing to lose.
The biggest deterrent of success is fear and you can
avoid the fear of losing money by being poor.
Poverty also harnesses your talents because without
money you have to use them to survive and that boosts
ambition.
When you grow up having everything you don’t have a
reason to effort because feeling material fulfillment lead
us to believe that there is nothing else to achieve in life.
Poor people don’t get that feeling and there’s where
ambition comes from.
