#BringBackOurGirls Pastor Chris Okotie Writes About The Missing Girls

It's a long note, but a must read from Chris Okotie. Read Chris Okotie's post on the kidnapping of Chibok girls.

 
Pastor Chris Okotie on the 14th of May, took his time to write an article about the missing girls. Read below:

In modern times, apart from Adolf Hitler's Holocaust which killed an estimated six million Jews; the more recent ethnic cleansing in the Balkans and the Rwandan versions, no other massacre of the innocent surpasses the Boko Haram killings in brutality. These guys have kidnapped a part of this nation. We need a new strategy to rescue it. Thank God, First World leaders with experience and proven competence in counter-insurgency have responded to President Goodluck Jonathan's call for assistance.

What makes Boko Haram's case puzzling is that the group targets its own people, and especially weak demographic groups like women and children that are normally spared, along with civilian populations, in conventional warfare. Although, terrorists hardly respect this convention, even groups like Al-Qaeda do not attack their own people, expect where they establish a case of betrayal by fifth columnists within their ranks.

The unbelievable cruelty of the Boko Haram insurgents as evidenced by the recent abduction of more than 200 girls in a school hostel in Chibok, Bornu State ordinarily would have shocked the sponsors of the Islamists, if they have human hearts in their chests. Nothing suggests that they do, otherwise, they'd have called the fighters they unleashed on this nation to order.

At the time of writing the United States, Britain, France and China had pledged support for Nigeria's efforts to help track Boko Harm and rescue these defenseless girls. This has given hope to Nigerians that, at last, a greater, more realistic action is in the offing.

It may be too late for the falcons to hear the falconer. If you ride the back of the tiger to power, it would devour you if it has nothing more to eat. That is the case of Boko Haram. Those who use the hoodlums to rig themselves to power abandoned them when they finally left power.

Then, the thugs, abandoned to their own devices were hijacked by politicians of diverse tendencies, and pseudo-Islamic militants, who use the renal youths to pursue dubious objectives. As disparate criminal elements infiltrated the group, it became amorphous, leaderless and difficult to control.

The killing of the original leader of Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf allegedly in police custody provoked the initial reprisal attacks against the police. Gradually, other targets were being hit. As the sect made headlines it attracted jihadist partners from neighbouring countries like Chad, Niger, Sudan and Mali. Arms from the failing state of Libya after the death of Col. Maummar Ghadaffi fell into the hands of these mercenaries, who have strengthened Boko Haram, to the extent that members of the terror group are now strong enough to frustrate our army.

That is why arms and ammunitions captured by Nigerian security forces from Boko Haram fighters appear to be more sophisticated than those our soldiers use against them. We must understand the forces we are dealing with before we could defeat them.

It is doubtful if the terrorists have a well structured command and control system like Al-Shabab of Somalia or Al-Qaeda – in the – Islamic Maghreb, which almost over-ran the Malian government, before they were stopped by an African intervention force led by French troops.


If we must destroy Boko Haram, we need foreign help in the shape of highly sophisticated intelligence which the aforementioned Western powers who have experience in combating global terrorism have started offering. Some of their personnel are already here; but the President must act with greater decisiveness on this terror war. We need help from anywhere we can get it except Israel. Israel is out of it to avoid Islamisizing the terror war because of the former's long drawn conflict with the Arab nations, with whom our predominantly northern brothers share a common faith.

Therefore, we must carefully select our foreign partners in the war against Boko Haram to avoid introducing international rivalries into it. President Goodluck Jonathan should summon the political will. With foreign help we could fish out the sponsors of the terrorists, and pre-empt the attacks before they are launched. The kidnapping of those young girls at Chibok has set a world record; it is a monumental disgrace, it strikes at the soul of our nation.

As it were, Nigeria has been kidnapped. At no time in our checkered history did we live like this, in perpetual fear of being attacked by criminal elements who are now on the prowl across the nation. For the first time, armed groups are laying siege on our military installations; invading army barracks and police formations, leaving heavy casualties in their trail. They appear capable of engaging our last line of defense as hit and run urban gorillas.

Now, after the failure of every trick in our books, we obviously have no answer to Boko Haram. We thought the terrorists have been dislodged permanently from Abuja and restricted to just the three North Eastern States of Bornu, Yobe and Adamawa, until the two recent Nyanya bombings. Chibok, which capped this brazen assault is a terrifying reality. How a group could abduct more than 200 girls from their school in an operation that required huge logistics, without being detected in an area where a State of Emergency is in force, is amazing. Nobody knows where they'd strike next, except the terrorists themselves.

This recurrent circle of condemnation after a strike and visits by the President or top government functionaries to bombed sites has continued for too long. While this may be a painful imperative for our leaders, what is lacking is a strategy to seriously decapitate the terrorists to such a point that their strike capability is completely destroyed. Effective intelligence could stop the terrorists in their tracks, while a swift, well organized counter-insurgency operation could annihilate them completely.

So far, we have not succeeded in containing the terrorists because, either our security forces are ill-equipped, incapable for some reasons, or are over-stretched to police the vast area they are supposed to cover. The Chibok tragedy and the frequent attacks on soft targets like motor parks, worship centres, markets and academic institutions ought to be prevented by the military authorities, because we all know that is the stock-in-trade of Boko Haram. Nobody should claim ignorance of the history of these attacks on such targets.

Boko Haram is a special problem in our country, and we require a special arrangement to move ahead of their logistics to nip them in the bud. Aside international assistance as earlier mentioned, localized knowledge of the terrains is an important factor. We have enough Para-military forces, which could be deployed to compliment efforts by our armed services, to provide adequate security coverage for our nation. There's nothing wrong if we incorporate our ethnic militias and vigilante groups in this security arrangement because the nation is at war. And anyone, except the terrorists, could be a victim. When a nation is kidnapped, no effort should be spared to rescue it. So that's why I join the rest of the world in saying:

Bring Back Our Girls Now!

Hollywood Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger Files $10Million Lawsuit Against Nutrition Company

The actor is angry the company used his image on their 'untested' products to fool clients



» more Arnold Schwarzenegger sues nutrition company of $10M



» more Arnold Nutrition Group allegedly uses Arnold to promote their products.



Arnold Schwarzenegger is threatening to financially strangle a company he claims stole his image to sell and promote cheap nutrition products.



The former Californian Governor claims the Arnold Nutrition Group slapped his name and photo all over its products even though the products are the kind of things he would NEVER endorse because they haven't been subjected to accurate testing.



In his lawsuit, Arnold makes it clear that nobody gets his endorsement unless he BELIEVES in the product and also, unless he gets paid for the full value of his name and reputation.



The Terminator actor is demanding 10 million dollars and says the company is defrauding the public but hasn't asked for a total recall... Yet!



Fans, do you agree with Arnold? Should companies use images of stars on their products without their consent? Tell us what you think.

Jay Z And Solange Knowles Kiss & Make Up

Both were spotted in the same jewellery shop for more than 20 minutes!



Jay Z and Solange make up?



» more Beyonce and sister Solange Knowles at the Met Gala

Jay Z and Solange Knowles are likely to have kissed and made up after that scandalous elevator blow out on May 5 in New York went viral on the internet.



Both assumed enemies were seen together on Tuesday afternoon at a high-end NYC jewelry store shopping for around 20 minutes!





Sources connected with the store say Jay and Solange were in Mr. Flawless, where they were looking for women's jewelry for close to 30 minutes and they showed no signs of strife, and looked at gems with Mr. Flawless himself. They looked, but tried nothing on.  They left the store without buying anything, according to TMZ.



However, Jay and Solange didn't talk much inside the store ... they pretty much just browsed quietly before leaving together!

Pastor Tunde Bakare Takes On Dame Patience Jonathan

The Senior Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly and former running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari during the 2011 presidential election, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has called out to Nigeria's First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, in the wake of her public display in an interview over the abducted girls of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.



Pastor Bakare who does not take any prisoners whenever he has a point to make, said that the First Lady is a disappointment to Nigeria and shows that her lack of education is a reflection of the situation in the country.



He took particular exception to her spoken English and actions which made her expose her lack of education by using the word 'sharing blood' instead of 'shedding blood'.



He says that this shows that low quality people rule over the country and a clear indication of how low we have fallen.

#BringBackOurGirls Pastor Chris Okotie Writes About The Missing Girls

It's a long note, but a must read from Chris Okotie. Read Chris Okotie's post on the kidnapping of Chibok girls.

 
Pastor Chris Okotie on the 14th of May, took his time to write an article about the missing girls. Read below:

In modern times, apart from Adolf Hitler's Holocaust which killed an estimated six million Jews; the more recent ethnic cleansing in the Balkans and the Rwandan versions, no other massacre of the innocent surpasses the Boko Haram killings in brutality. These guys have kidnapped a part of this nation. We need a new strategy to rescue it. Thank God, First World leaders with experience and proven competence in counter-insurgency have responded to President Goodluck Jonathan's call for assistance.

What makes Boko Haram's case puzzling is that the group targets its own people, and especially weak demographic groups like women and children that are normally spared, along with civilian populations, in conventional warfare.

Jaden Smith Follows Suit Of His Sister Posting Shirtless Pictures With Kylie Jenner

It would seem that will smith's whole Family is in need of an Intervention.



Barely a week after the episode of the highly criticized pictures of his sister Willow Smith in bed with a shirtless male, jaden smith the son of Hollywood Actor Will smith, appeared half naked in a picture he took with Kylie Jenner.



Apparently, the shirtless lifestyle is highly favoured by the smiths as Jaden's expression in the picture is quite interesting. The photos appeared on Kylie's Tumblr account on the 25th of April, which is around the same time his younger sister's photos hit the social media. In the picture it would appear that he was wearing only a calvin Klein boxer, while sporting that look, on the thighs of Kim Kadarshian's half-sister.



While Kylie Jenner on her part has said that they were not in a relationship, but sources reveal that they were quite closer than most friends of opposite sexes. Which leads us to the main question on everyone's mind.



Do you think Will Smith is bringing up his kids properly?
