The militants showed the attacks on Yobe and
Borno states as well as seized weapons and
tanks.
The members of the group also slit the throat of a
policeman, who knelt in front of three Boko
Haram fanatics – two of whom point AK47s at
his head, and advised Muslims to join in the fight
against the current administration.
The video then cuts to reveal his decapitated
body lying motionless on the floor. It should be
mentioned that the man, who spoke on behalf of
the sect, was not the Boko Haram leader
Abubakar Shekau.
Islamic State, group, which controls large areas of
Syria and Iraq, accepted a vow of commitment
from Boko Haram, who were responsible for the
deaths of over 10,000 in Nigeria in 2014, in March
this year.
The footage, released weeks after Boko Haram
rebranded itself Islamic State’s West African
Province (ISWAP), shows some of the insurgents
fighting with presumed Nigerian soldiers.
The insurgents on Monday July 27, reportedly
decapitated three villagers in a weekend raid in
Cameroon. Five African nations agreed to form a
coalition to counter the insurgency.
A coalition force of about 8,700 from Nigeria,
Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Benin are expected to
begin operations before the end of next month.

As expected, Nigerians have expressed their
varied reactions to the decision of the son of Late
Ooni of Ife to get married despite the fact that his
father had only just passed on days before. Here
are the reactions as gathered from our platform :
Reacting to the wedding, Uwa Osunde said
‘Nigerians with criticism. The wedding has been
fixed before the demise of his father. So if he
calls it off, will that bring back the old man? May
his soul rest in peace’, in response to Uwa’s
reaction, Elizabeth Funke Obisanya noted ‘that
his dad happens to represent the whole of Yoruba
land and was a king in case you forgot, even an
ordinary man will have to have it moved a bit so
family can mourn, but this one didn’t. Even if the
man was 100 years old it is expected that a
mourning period be taken and no celebrations
during this time. Truthfully the young man should
have moved it forward when he saw his father’s
situation before he was flown out and after he
went to meet the ancestors he should have
moved it back say till December that is what a
good son would have done. It is clear that they
tested him with this and he failed’.
Adaobi-joy Ani in her response opined that ‘Why
not? Will his refusal to go ahead bring back the
father? abi na him kill the man? Moreover do you
know how much was spent already? The father
am sure will like the wedding to go on’.
Further reactions saw Anibire Michael say ‘this is
a serious issue & we need to think twice before
we contribute any comments. First and foremost
Yoruba people have a good culture of respect.
The date had already be fixed but if any one of
the union run into serious sickness, are you
telling me they will not change d date? Let’s be
sincere, the real prince of d soil must give honour
to his father, when Baba is yet to enter into the
grave, the son needs to give honour to him. It
doesn’t mean the Kabiyesi will rise up again.
From my own perspective that is how it’s
supposed to be. Again, Elizabeth Funke Obisanya
reacted to Michael’s opinion saying ‘dates can be
moved and it’s not as if they don’t have money
or even people will not credit them for a later
date. The Iyawo is not pregnant so what was the
rush for? He was tested and he failed’.
The conversation got even more interesting with
Ogugua Osakwe reaction who said ‘The man is
dead! Life must go on for the living. The man did
not kill the father and every arrangement was
concluded before he died and as such the
wedding should proceed as if nothing happened!
Afterall was it not Jesus who advised in Luke
9:60 “Allow the dead to bury their own dead, but
for you go and proclaim the kingdom of God”. In
the same parlance I urge them to go on because
they have their lives to live! Ever active Elizabeth
Funke Obisanya countered again saying ‘Yes
Jesus also said give custom unto whom it is due.
This was his father not just anyone. The boy did
bad maybe his advisors set him up who knows?
But he must also be a man and know what is
right. This was disrespectful’
Reactions got more cultural as Oluwabusola
Olutayo Oderinde opined that ‘Any tribe can
support it, am sure original Yoruba tribe will not
support it. Does giving a child a Yoruba name
mean he or she is Yoruba by origin? Being born
in a royal house doesn’t mean you are a prince or
princess? It’s obvious the doesn’t value a
Paramount king like ONI of Ife. We know his
father cannot wake up again, so because of
marriage he can’t give his father just 6 weeks,
infact the wedding should be in low form if he
wanted it to hold this year. Let all of us learn our
culture and right and teach our children. RIP
Sijuwade Okunola Oluse’. This reactions was
however countered by Daramola Blessing who
said ‘it means you don’t know the Yoruba culture
well, if the day has been fixed before one of their
parents die, nothing can change or stop the event,
‘won o kin ye nkan ire nitori oku awon obi’ and
moreover, the man was full of years. The only
thing that can stop it is the death of either
couple, and that I reject for anyone’.
Pius Adebamowo aired his opinion saying
‘Nobody is saying he should not go ahead with
the wedding, but first thing first, give respect to
your father, he is not only your father but one of
the respected king in Yoruba land’. Princess Nkiru
Momah towed a different line however, saying ‘I
wonder why some people are still naive. Please
what matters in life is d living and not the dead.
Oni has joined his ancestors and traditionally
must be given a befitting burial but that can’t
just stop d already arranged marriage of d Prince.
It’s high time we learn to celebrate the living and
not the dead because no protocol can bring him
back to life but the just must live by faith’.
However, the most active person in this
conversation, Elizabeth Funke Obisanya countered
again saying ‘what you don’t understand is that
as a Christian or a pagan, respect is expected to
be given, it is not even up to a week since he
departed and you think it’s ok? Am sure you say
so if this happened in your Igboland’.
Collins Adanihomwan in his reaction said ‘The
young man did well. Their joy is more important
than the death of his father. This is a real man
with quality decision against all odds. The wife is
a lucky woman’.

The immediate past Chairman of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor
Attahiru Jega, said at the weekend that he was
satisfied with the apology offered by a former
Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday
Orubebe over his unruly behaviour during the
collation of results at the last presidential
election .
Speaking in Ilorin, Kwara State, where he
attended the 80th birthday ceremony of a former
National Commissioner of INEC, Dr. Abdulkadir
Oniyangi, the Bayero University Kano lecturer said
he had since forgotten about the matter.
It would be recalled that Orubebe, who was the
PDP agent during the last election, accused Jega
of bias and almost brought the collation process
to a premature end but for the display of maturity
by the former INEC boss, which brought the
unexpected situation under control, and the
announcement of results went ahead.
Jega advised Nigerians to put Orubebe’s
performance behind and move on in building on
the gains of the last election, which he said met
the requirements of international best practices.
He said: “I think the Orubebe’s incident is behind
us, and we should just move on and not be held
back by it. I was made to understand that a day
or two after the incident, Mr. Orubebe made a
public apology through the news media and I
think that is sufficient enough”.
“I think the challenges for us include ensuring
that statesmen act as they should. And under all
circumstances, we must control our emotions and
resist the temptation of making wild allegations,
which can disrupt a process as important as the
election. But I think we all learnt something from
the elections”, he added.
The former INEC boss, who has now returned to
the lecture room at BUK, said he was delighted to
be back.
He also expressed optimism that INEC will
continue to work on the voters’ register.
