Photo Of Abducted Girls Who Escaped From Boko Haram. & List Of Girls Still Kidnapped

Out of the 180 names on the list, 165 are reportedly Christians.
Read the statement of the cleric below:

ABOMINATION! ABOMINATION!!

CHRISTIAN GIRLS ABDUCTED IN CHIBOK, BORNO STATE.

Daughters of Zion taken captive, to be treated as slaves and sold into marriage to unclean people. Abomination has been committed.

Raise lamentation to High Heavens. What a shame on the Church of the Living God.

FACTS:

Chibok Local Government is 90% Christians. Majority of the girls abducted are Christian! Why did Boko Haram visit Chibok Local Government? Why didn't they visit so many other Local Government Girls Secondary Schools in Borno State?

The Church in Nigeria is hereby called to A Lamentation Prayer.

Time:

Every Christian home must raise a lamentation to heaven daily. Let God arise and defend his Name, Honour and Majesty.

Let a 15 minutes cry to heaven be done in every Church every time they gather. Oh God, Rend the Heavens and come down!

Why should the people say where is our God?

The Military may not be able to solve the problem but prayer will. Ordinary Military force may not get them out! Intensive Agonizing Prayer will.

WHAT NEXT AFTER RECOVERY?

We make the following demands of the Federal Government whose duty it was to protect the innocent girls.

1. A N50million damage as trauma compensation to each girl.

2. A preparation to take each girl to an overseas University on Government scholarship by September 2014. Preparation for that must start now!

3. SS1 and SS2 girls in that school must be transferred to schools of their choice from Government coffer. How can any girl feel safe in this kind of school? Living in perpetual fear of attack?

LET GOD ARISE, LET ALL HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED.

Boko Haram attacks LG boss in Borno, kills son

Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have attacked
a local government chairman in Borno, killing his
son. Sources said the attackers numbering about
five, invaded the residence of the Caretaker
Chairman of Shani Local Government in the state,
Alhaji Madu Walama, in Walama village and
opened fire on his son when they discovered that
their target was not at home.
"When the gunmen invaded the house, they
asked for the whereabouts of the chairman, and
when they discovered that the man was not
around, they opened fire on one of his sons and
escaped. The boy, Shettima Walama, who was
about 20 year sold, did not die immediately. He
was rushed to the hospital and died shortly on
arrival," a resident who did not want his name in
print told journalists.
Another source also said the insurgents while
fleeing the area shot dead a man driving along
the Biu-Shani- Numan road. Shani is along the
Borno-Adamawa border in the southern part of
Borno State and is about 240 kilometres from
Maiduguri, the state capital.
Meanwhile, students in Borno State yesterday
resolved to boycott classrooms and other
academic activities tomorrow to protest the
abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in Chibok.
The placard-carrying students called on the
authorities to do everything possible to rescue the
girls.
Leader of the protesting students, Fatima Zanna
Maliki, said the youths needed action not words
and blames, adding that this was not the time for
apportioning blames on anybody.

More Nigerian girls abducted by suspected Boko Haram militants

The latest kidnapping happened on Sunday night in the village of Warabe, in Borno state. The girls taken were between the ages of 12 and 15.

On Monday, Boko Haram's leader threatened to "sell" more than 230 girls seized from their school, also in Borno, on 14 April.

The Islamist insurgency by Boko Haram has left thousands dead since 2009.

The BBC's Mansur Liman in Abuja says the area around Warabe, the site of the latest abductions, is a stronghold of the Islamist movement.

The gunmen arrived in two trucks and also seized animals and food from the village.

Communications are very poor in the area, which explains why the news took several days to emerge, our correspondent says.


Residents from a nearby town told AFP that they feared Boko Haram would target them next.

"We in Gwoza are also living in fear because of the kidnap of eight girls in Warabe," Peter Gambo said.

"We have no security here. If the gunmen decide to pick our own girls, nobody can stop them" he said.

Warabe is also close to the Sambisa forest, where the first group of schoolgirls is thought to have been taken.


Protesters have taken to the streets in Nigeria, calling for the girls taken on 14 April to be released
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau released a video on Monday confirming that his group had abducted them.

There is mounting domestic and international anger at the Nigerian government's failure to find the girls.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni condemned the attacks, calling Boko Haram "ideologically bankrupt".

"It would be a mistake for the government of Nigeria to negotiate with these people. The most important thing is to defeat them, then negotiations can come after that," he said.

The US called the kidnappings an "outrage" and said it was offering the Nigerian government assistance in trying to find the girls.

Boko Haram, which means "Western education is forbidden", has attacked numerous educational institutions in northern Nigeria.

Jenifa: Why I Have Been Pending My Career

Raving Yoruba actress and producer, Funke Akindele popularly known as Jenifa has broken her silence on why she has not been entertaining interviews and reacting to issues pertaining to her career in recent times.

She said it was a deliberate decision between her and her management to stay out of media glare for the time being. 

Funke said "I am working on new projects now and I don't want to be in the media for the wrong reasons or for the fun of it. When I am done with the projects, I will talk about them and probably hold a press conference to clear the air on some issues,"
Good point from her! We await your return to the screen, Jenifa.

Chiwetel Ejiofor To Play As Villian In New James Bond Flick

Due to his perfect representation of character in Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave, Chiwetel Ejofor  won't be allowed to go off the radar as the British actor is now being eyed to play the villain in the next untitled James Bond Movie.

 Ejiofor is at the top of the list of people being considered to play the villain in Sony and MGM's Bond 24. However the studio is yet to make anything official regarding this.

At this point, the only confirmation gotten is that Daniel Craig will reprise his role as 007 James Bond, while Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris will also be reprising their roles from Skyfall with Sam Mendes also returning to direct this one.

This will be the second time another African-American actor will play a villain in a James Bond movie.
