Boko Haram Turns Children To Suicide Bombers With Hard Drugs


The governor of Borno State, Mr. Kashim Shettima, has attributed the rise in the number of children used as suicide bombers in the Northeastern part of the country on hard drugs given to them by the Boko Haram sect. Mr. Shettima made this known at a press conference he addressed on Friday. The governor also warned that the celebrated capture of the infamous Sambisa Forest does not indicate an end to the insurgency that has troubled the zone since 2009.

“In this criminal endeavor, they resort to the use of teenagers and children as young as seven years.

“More recently, they even strap babies on the back of their recruits in order to slip through our security dragnets.

“They also use hard drugs on these innocent children, who do not know what they are doing when they kill their own parents, relations, and fellow countrymen and women.  Many precious lives have been lost, hundreds of citizens, including school girls, were abducted. Many more people have suffered serious injuries as a result of these senseless acts of bloodthirsty enemies of peace,” said Mr. Shettima.

“It is regrettable that this upsurge in cowardly suicide attacks came not long after the patriotic military forces of this country recaptured Sambisa Forest, which used to be the operational zone of the Boko Haram terrorists.

“However, we must remind ourselves that the recapture of Sambisa Forest and the flushing out of the terrorists from most of their former enclaves does not mean that our struggle is over.

“Instead, the terrorists have resorted, in their usual cowardly fashion, to stepping up attacks on soft targets,” he observed.

Mr. Shettima expressed condolence to the families of all victims and acknowledged the support the state has received from local and international humanitarian bodies and development partners.

He assured indigenes and residents of Borno State that the government would continue to protect them, adding that they should not yield to the desire of the terrorists to make them live in fear.

  1. It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God.
    I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the
    bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is
    bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and
    all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am
    not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I
    completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going
    to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you
    know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
    It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is
    dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself
    because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially
    when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women
    tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try
    to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I
    accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks
    of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I
    experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal

    app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is
    simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself,
    your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back.
    Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville
    and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just
    starting to grasp this one.

Bitcoin Laundering” Study: Where Do Criminals Turn to Mask Illicit Cryptoassets?

A recent study ( PDF ) from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Center on Sanctions and Illicit Finance and blockchain analytics company Elliptic explored the “bitcoin laundering” ecosystem. In the study, Elliptic’s forensic analysis of the Bitcoin blockchain and other publicly available data were used to track the flows of illicit funds from 2013 to 2016. “This study aimed to identify where individuals turn in order to cash out or transmit bitcoins (BTC) acquired from illicit entities and to discover typologies for criminals ‘laundering’ bitcoins,” the report says. The study describes bitcoin laundering as a special type of money laundering that exists within the Bitcoin network where a user moves some bitcoins to a new address in a manner that obscures the original source of funds. The conversion of bitcoins into fiat currency on exchanges that lack adequate anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) policies can also fall under the category ...

Soaring Bitcoin Price Leads $159 Billion Crypto Market Recovery

Bitcoin  Well, somebody bought the dip. Just as critics were rushing to proclaim that the bitcoin bubble had burst, the markets staged a $159 billion recovery.

Several other top-tier coins, meanwhile, returned single day increases in excess of 40 percent.

Bitcoin Price Eyes $12,000 Wednesday served as a trial-by-fire for recent bitcoin investors, some of whom had purchased the flagship cryptocurrency for $19,000 at the height of the rally in mid-December.

How to Boost Your Credit—or Build it Up From Nothing

Now that you know  how credit works , you probably want to know how to make it work  better . While nothing is better for your credit than paying your bills in full and on time, there are ways to give it a boost. Like it or not,  credit matters . It’s also complicated. In our “Everything You Need to Know About Credit” series, we’re breaking down the basics. When a lender or landlord looks at your credit, they’re not just looking for a three digit number, they want to know how you actually handle credit. That’s why your credit report is more important than your score. That said, your score matters, too, and the good news is, there are shortcuts for boosting it in a relatively short amount of time.
