The story of Sambisa forest - Inside Boko Haram’s Hideout:

Sambisa is a vast area of land located south of Borno State. The thick forest area with swampy condition during rainy season is believed to be harbouring make shift- camps of suspected members of Boko Haram Islamists.

It has boundaries with Chibok, Askira Uba, Damboa, Gwoza, Konduga, Dikwa, Bama and other local government areas of the state.

South Africa draw bogey team Nigeria

Africa Cup of Nations defending champions Nigeria were grouped with South Africa and Sudan when the 2015 qualifying draw was made in Cairo Sunday.

The Group A line-up will be completed by the winners of a preliminary tie involving Namibia, Congo Brazzaville, Libya and Rwanda.

Nigeria can be confident of making the 16-team finals between January 17 and February 8 in Moroccan cities Agadir, Marrakech, Rabat and Tangier.

They are a bogey side for South Africa — never losing a competitive match to Bafana Bafana (The Boys) — and Sudan have struggled lately.

Every draw creates a ‘group of death’ and Group G fits the bill with Tunisia, Egypt, Senegal and one from Burundi, Botswana, Central African Republic and Guinea-Bissau.

Egypt have lifted the Cup of Nations a record seven times, hosts Tunisia triumphed in 2004 and Senegal were the strongest third seeds.

Armed militants take young children from their beds, as they sleep: Young recruits for extremist causes.

It happened this (last) week in Nigeria, when heavily armed Boko Haram Islamists kidnapped 200 girls from their boarding school.

And it has been happening in northern Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, and other neighbouring countries for decades – the work of Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army.

She spoke with their teacher, Sister Rachele Fassera, who begged for the children’s return.

“He (Kony) bent down and on the ground he wrote, ‘The girls are 139. I will give you 109.’ He wrote, ‘I keep 30,’ Sister Raquelle told Amanpour at the time.”

I Do Embarrass People Who get Randy With Me – Halima Abubakar

Curvaceous Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar, has got what it takes to make many men get out of turn and get funny. But as they say, looks can be deceptive, and, instead of getting a load of welcoming smiles, you might just end up with either goose pimples or even a red eye because this sexy beau is all everything but vulnerable.

But even the stern Halima would agree that as much as those ‘stop’ signs seem to be oozing out of her eyes, some die-hard randy men still try their luck to see if they could get on easy street with her.  “Won’t I be lying if I say nobody has harassed me? I’m a lady. It’s totally untrue when people say they’ve never been harassed”, she said.
