Boko Haram Pledges Allegiance To ISIS by teeebugs(op): 8:40am On Mar 09, 2015
The Nigerian terrorist group, Boko Haram, weekend pledged allegiance to the Middle East group, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

The Boko Haram insurgents who, in recent weeks, have suffered heavy casualty in the hands of Nigerian troops, released an audio message purportedly delivered by its leader, Abubakar Shekau, where he announced “allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims, Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Husseini al-Qurashi,” which is another name for the ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

A security expert and member of the Jamestown Foundation, an international NGO, Jacob Zenn, said the recording appeared to be authentic. He, however, noted that some other messages from the sect were faked, adding “the speaker in this one is Shekau”.

“Boko Haram joining the ISIS fold makes sense to both groups. Boko Haram will get legitimacy, which will help its recruiting, funding and logistics as it expands into (French-speaking) West Africa. It will also get guidance from ISIS in media warfare and propaganda. Previously, Boko Haram was a sort of outcast in the global Jihadi community. Now it is perhaps ISIS’ biggest affiliate,” ,” he said from Abuja.

Grow up and liberate yourself from ignorance and desolation. All your insults will not stop Nigerians from kicking out the corruption and failures of Jonathan back to Otueke. Things must change for the better in Nigeria.
