Pay-TV giant, MultiChoice Nigeria, has assured Nigerians of uninterrupted broadcast of the 2014 World Cup, which kicks off in Brazil next month

The involvement of the United States of America, United Kingdom, France and other countries in the fight against Boko Haram and the efforts to rescue abducted Chibok school girls had been described as a welcome development by Chief Sunny Onuesoke, a former Delta State governorship aspirant and Country Director of the Network for Good Governance (N4GG)

Lagos State governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), has enjoined Nigerians to be vigilant and report any unusual occurrence in their neighbour-hood to security agencies, saying it is only by such collective vigilance that the security of the country and the state could be ensured.

This clearly shows that the northern leaders are not serious about the rescue of the girls. The Federal Government has not been able to rescue the girls despite the much acclaimed military might of Nigeria. Is it then wrong to seek help outside Nigeria?

Now that the operational leadership and visible face of Boko Haram, in the person of the filth called Mr. Abubakar Shekau (aka Darul Tawheed), has finally admitted that they were responsible for the abduction of hundreds of our school girls and that they intend to ‘’sell them in the market like slaves’’, it is pertinent and necessary for us to consider some of the emerging, though uncomfortable, facts.

He is the face of terror. A ruthless leader with a twisted ideology. And the sadistic architect of a campaign of mayhem and misery.

And yet, very little is known about Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram.

The Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) on Saturday said all elements of the Boko Haram terrorists group would be stamped out within three months.
