They Raped Us Every Day In Sambisa - Boko Haram S3x Slaves Narrate Bitter Ordeal

Some of the women rescued by the Nigerian Army from the dreaded Boko Haram terrorist group have narrated their shocking ordeal in the hands of their kidnappers.
For months, they were kept in tiny thatched huts in the middle of the forest, waiting with dread each evening for their rapists to return. During the almost intolerable violence, the young women’s minds drifted to escape or death. The victims were as young as 8.

At the heart of Boko Haram’s self-proclaimed caliphate in northeastern Nigeria was a savage campaign of rape and sexual slavery that has only recently been uncovered. Thousands of girls and women were held against their will, subject to forced marriages and relentless indoctrination. Those who resisted were often shot.

Shocking way Boko Haram trains kidnapped women and girls to be suicide bombers



In a New York Times article, a woman who escaped the clutches of Boko Haram gives a chilling account of how the terrorists train women and girls to become suicide bombers.

Sever your enemy’s head from behind, to minimize struggling.

“If you cut from the back of the neck, they die faster,” said Rahila Amos, a Nigerian grandmother describing the meticulous instruction she received from Boko Haram to become a suicide bomber.

Of all the many horrors of Boko Haram’s rampage across West Africa — the attacks on mosques, churches and schools; the mass killings of civilians; the entire villages left in ashes after militants tear through — one of the most baffling has been its ability to turn captured women and girls into killers.

Proliferation Of First Class Degrees In Private Varsities The PUNCH

The article, “First Class honours: Kini big deal?” by Abimbola Adelakun published on the back page of The PUNCH of Thursday, March 10, 2016 refers. The standard and quality of academic programme in universities the world over are NOT determined or measured by the number of first class graduates a university churns out but by the quantity and quality of research it conducts. The quality of research executed by a university is in turn measured by the number of journal articles published by its staff in core journals. There are standard yardsticks (bibliometric, webometric, etc) for determining what a core journal is. The craze to spew out large numbers of first class graduands by Nigerian private universities is a ploy to fool the undiscerning public as to what constitutes a quality university and a marketing gimmick to attract large numbers of applicants.
