Boko Haram has released nearly 200 hostages,
most of them women, who were kidnapped from a
village in the northeast Nigerian state of Yobe, a
community leader and a military source told AFP
Saturday.
A total of 192 people were released on Friday
from two Islamist enclaves, where they had been
kept since a January 6 raid on Katarko, 12 miles
from the state capital Damaturu.
In all, 218 women and children were abducted.
"Boko Haram have released 192 of our women
they kidnapped early this month," Goni Mari, a
Katarko community leader told AFP from
Damaturu.
"They brought them in two batches in four trucks
and dropped them at Girbuwa village, eight
kilometres from Damaturu, from where we
conveyed them to the city and they were taken
into government custody."

he raid on Katarko saw dozens of Boko Haram
gunmen storm the village, where they killed 25
men and burnt homes and businesses before
kidnapping the women and children.
The attack was apparently in retaliation over a
raid by local hunters and vigilantes in nearby Buni
Yadi, where several militants were killed and
scores of others were arrested, vigilantes said at
the time.
But with Boko Haram raids a near daily occurence
in the restive northeast and no precise figures on
the numbers of people taken, the attack received
little publicity.
Boko Haram fought running battles with troops in
Damaturu the following Friday, again in an
apparent reprisal to the Buni Yadi raid.
A military officer, who requested anonymity
because he was not authorised to speak to the
media, also confirmed the release of the
hostages.

"It is true Boko Haram terrorists yesterday
(Friday) released 192 hostages they kidnapped
from Katarko village," he added.
Mass abduction has been a feature of Boko
Haram's bloody six-year insurgency, with young
men and boys forcibly conscripted to fight
alongside the militants.
Women and young girls have been taken to be
wives for the Islamists, with reports from those
who were freed or escaped of forced labour,
sexual and psychological abuse.

RULE 1
Life is not fair - get used to it.

RULE 2
The world won't care about your self-esteem.
The world will expect you to accomplish
something BEFORE you feel good about
yourself.

RULE 3
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year
right out of high school. You won't be a vice
president with car phone, until you earn both.

RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you
get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

RULE 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.
Your grandparents had a different word for
burger flipping they called it Opportunity.

RULE 6
If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so
don't whine about your mistakes, learn from
them.

RULE 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as
boring as they are now. They got that way
from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes
and listening to you talk about how cool you
are. So before you save the rain forest from the
parasites of your parent's generation, try
delousing the closet in your own room.

RULE 8
Your school may have done away with winners
and losers, but life has not. In some schools
they have abolished failing grades and they'll
give you as many times as you want to get the
right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest
resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

RULE 9
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't
get summers off and very few employers are
interested in helping you find yourself. Do that
on your own time.

RULE 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life people
actually have to leave the coffee shop and go
to jobs.

RULE 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up
working for one.

The rules are taken from the book "Dumbing
Down our Kids" by educator Charles Sykes. It is a
list of eleven things you did not learn in school
and directed at high school and college grads.
