The emergence of the long awaited Northern Nigeria Islamic Caliphate

Gwoza Emir's Palace,: The operational headquarters of the long awaited Northern Nigeria Islamic Caliphate

The declaration of a Caliphate by the leader of Boko Haram insurgents, Abubakar Shekau, with its headquarters in Gwoza town on August 24, may have come as a surprise to many Nigerians, but analysts said the choice of which area to annex was well-thought out and that the signs were apparent right from the beginning.

On Thursday, August 28, three Nigerian fighter jets reportedly dropped more than 20 high calibre bombs on Gwoza town and adjoining villages in Borno State in an apparent move to recapture them from the Boko Haram insurgents. The move came nearly a week after Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, also known as Boko Haram, compromised the territorial integrity of Nigeria.

Boko Haram: The new rulers of Northern Nigeria

When the political leaders of northern Nigeria rejected the government of Goodluck Jonathan and vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable for him, they never anticipated what the alternative would be. They created Boko Haram to mount pressure on Jonathan by massacring Biafrans and other southerners in the north. They funded the group until they became stupendously rich and out of control of their sponsors and handlers. Northern leaders and their compatriots who sympathized with Boko Haram when they were massacring Biafrans en mass have now got what they never bargained for. Having succeeded in chasing many Biafrans out of the core north, Boko Haram has ran amok and are currently massacring everything insight opposed to their warped ideology of islamizing everything in Nigeria and taking over the government.

The north is finished! Previously cowed Northern minority groups begin to rear their heads up against continued Islamic Hausa-Fulani domination

The Northern Nigeria has never been as balkanised as it is today. The region is slowly falling back to the pre Sokoto Caliphate status quo, after the decline of the Kanem-Bornu Empire, which had held captive most northern ethnic nationalities. This brief period of freedom of the northern ethnic group at the demise of the Kanem-Bornu empire was short-lived as the Fulanis overran the territories and once again held the lily-livered northern minorities and the Hausas, captive, under the Fulani-founded Sokoto Caliphate. Attempts by these minorities collectively referred to as the Middlebeltans

Boko Haram JUSTIFIES Biafra and vindicates Odumegwu Ojukwu

By Abiodun Ladepo

The Boko Haram (BH) claims it is avenging the “extra-judicial” killing of its leader, Muhammed Yusuf, who died at the hands of the Nigerian Police in 1999, during the presidency of the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua – a Northern Muslim. BH waited for Jonathan, a Christian, to become president before taking terror to a new level.

It added to its manifesto the annihilation of all Christians in the North; the removal of all churches and all businesses associated with Christians from the North; the introduction of Sharia law throughout the rest of Nigeria (13 Northern states now have Sharia law); the removal of all symbols of Western-styled democracy; and the abolition of Western education altogether. This manifesto could be dismissed as the wishful thinking of a

The Begining

The hopes of nationalists across Africa in the early 50’s and 60’s for the rapid development of Africa with the decolonisation of the continent have continued to elude the continent, despite the numerous natural resources the continent is blessed with. The initial enthusiasm of better governance that followed the independence of various African countries quickly evaporated and was replaced with political struggles between inept and corrupt leaders and visionary nationalists who truly wanted to make a difference. Many have questioned why Africa has continued to be undeveloped and leaders have continued to be at the receiving end of the blames.

Islamic State [ISIS] threat 'beyond anything we've seen' - United States

The sophistication, wealth and military might of Islamic State militants represent a major threat to the United States that may surpass that once posed by al Qaeda, U.S. military leaders said on Thursday.

“They are an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it’s in Iraq or anywhere else,” Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told reporters at the Pentagon.

Hagel’s assessment of Islamic State, which gained strength

How France loots Africa, liquidates ‘dissidents’ to maintain hegemony

For decades, his country has sucked the natural wealth out of Africa like a giant parasite, causing poverty, disease and underdevelopment, which in turn have fueled despair, conflict and violence. And the parasitic arrangement continues to this very day.

For decades, France has contributed directly to the violence and instability that has wracked so much of Africa. Coups, counter-coups, assassinations, destabilization and abductions - perhaps no other country among the colonial powers has afflicted the Earth’s largest continent with so much grief and ruination.
Following the Second World War, France ushered in a new era of modern slavery for the African countries that it had acquired as possessions during the earlier colonial Scramble for Africa at the end of the 19th Century.

Key strategies Muslims are deploying to Islamise Africa: Charity Uzochina, daughter of a Christian pastor who recently converted to Islam.

Islamic movements are using various strategies in accomplishing the goal of Islamizing the world. Archbishop Giuseppe Bernardini reported that during a synod that the Vatican held on October 1999 to discuss the rapports between Christians and Muslims, an eminent Islam scholar addressed the stunned audience declaring with placid effrontery: "By means of your democracy we shall invade you, by means of our religion we shall dominate you".

Some of the core Islamic strategies are briefly discusses below:

There were also reports that dissatisfied members of the movement had ousted the leader of the group, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike after overpowering his loyalists in a fierce battle.

Why current events in Iraq should be of grave concern to Biafrans

Current atrocious acts of the terrorist Islamic State (ISIS) should be a source of great concern to Biafrans. The media and blogosphere have been awash with gruesome images of beheading, mass executions and the spilling of bloods of innocent civilians, whose only offence was their refusal to convert to Islam. Yesterday, the world was chilled with a video showing the gruesome murder of a United States journalist, James Foley by ISIS. Last week over 300 Yazidi people were slaughtered by ISIS after their refusalto convert to Islam.

Chilling details of the beheading of US Journalist James Wright Foley

A shocking video has emerged showing an ISIS militant who speaks with a British accent brutally executing an American photojournalist who was kidnapped in Syria two years ago.

Graphic footage of the execution appeared in an video titled: 'A Message to the U.S.', in which an apparently coerced James Wright Foley, 40, describes America as his true killers for using airstrikes to assist Kurdish forces in recapturing the Mosul Dam from ISIS militants.

Pope Francis has endorsed the use of force by United States and allies to stop ISIS terrorists from massacring Christian minorities in Iraq. The Pope stated that it is "legitimate to stop the unjust aggressor."

The leader of the Catholic Church however stressed that it should be a joint effort by the international community to stop the radicals who have swept through north and western Iraq, targeting Christians, Shia Muslims and minority sects like the Yazidis.

Desperation sets in as North struggles to regain feudal domination of Nigeria

By Femi Aribisala

The only way the APC can redeem its perception as a janjaweed party is by putting forward a South-South man as its presidential candidate in 2015.

The Northern Elders Forum, the apostles of “the North is born to rule,” finally played their joker. They maintained that if the government does not #Bring Back Our Girls by the end of October, 2014, Jonathan should forget about running for re-election.

This again reveals that there is more political mischief to the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls than initially meets the eye. As a matter of fact, it shows conclusively that #Bring Back Our Girls is simply another instrument of #Bring Back Our Northern Domination.
