Northern babalawos have added their voices to the fight against Boko Haram by giving the FG an ultimatum to arrest and prosecute those indicted as sponsors of the insurgents.

Just like the Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria gave the Boko Haram elements in the country an ultimatum to free the kidnapped Chibok girls or face their wraths, (we are still waiting to see the outcome of the ultimatum that had since expired), the Northern wing of traditional medicine practitioners, aka babalawos, have told the Federal Government to arrest and prosecute former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff and former Chief of Army Statf, Gen. Azubike Ihejirika, who have been fingered as the sponsors of the dreaded Islamic sect, within 40 days, or it would be forced to sue the men for allegedly financing terrorism.
The herbalists who claim they have what it takes to arrest the kingpin of the Boko Haram insurgents, Abubakar Shekau ,but only waiting for the green light from the FG, also said that if the FG refuses to arrest those indicted, they will resort to a special prayers for God's wrath to fall on Sheriff, Ihejirika and others.

If the Federal Government refuses to do this, our members shall resort to special prayers for 21 days for God’s wrath to befall Sheriff, Ihejirika, their fellow collaborators and Boko Haram members.

Stressing that many of their members have been killed by the insurgents who have also taken over the Sambisa Forest where they get their roots and herbs, the also said:
Babalawos are Nigerians and deserve the same recognition accorded Imams and Pastors by government.

Many churches and mosques have received compensation from state governments for the destruction of their places of worship but not a single Babalawo has received a condolence message or any form of monetary compensation since the Boko Haram problem started three years ago.

Cameroonian troops have reportedly dealt a big blow to the Boko Haram sect by killing 100 of its members

According to reports, the Cameroonian army has killed "over 100" Boko Haram fighters who were attempting to enter its territory.

A spokesperson for the country’s government, Issa Tchiroma Bakary reportedly said in a statement, read out on radio, that the army had dealt "a severe setback" to Boko Haram.
The statement said:

"There were no casualties reported on the Cameroonian side after the attack,"
"Our defence forces responded vigorously with mortar fire aimed at the positions held by units of the Boko Haram terrorist group that was behind the attack."
"The Cameroonian response resulted in over 100 deaths among the aggressors,"

The statement reportedly added that the Boko Haram members were forced closer back to the Nigerian border town of Gamboru Ngala, which Boko Haram allegedly seized over a week ago.

British military engineers and medics are being sent to Sierra Leone to help fight the world's largest-ever outbreak of Ebola.

They will set up and run a treatment centre near the capital Freetown.

The World Health Organization says more than 2,000 people have now died in the outbreak in West Africa.

Last week, the charity Medecins Sans Frontieres called for a global military intervention in the region.

It said the global response to the outbreak had been "lethally inadequate" with countries turning their back on West Africa and merely reducing the risk of Ebola arriving on their shores.

The UK has announced it will build a centre with 50 beds for people in Sierra Leone and 12 beds for healthcare workers who become ill.

The proposed site will be surveyed this week, with the healthcare worker section of the facility scheduled to be running within eight weeks.

Yesterday, President Obama said the US military would set up isolation units and provide security for public health workers

International Development Secretary Justine Greening said: "The scale of the problem requires the entire international community to do more to assist the affected countries which is why the UK is working with the government of Sierra Leone to build a new medical treatment facility near their capital Freetown.

"When it is up and running it will enable the UK to provide medical care for local and international health workers, as well as treatment for the wider population."

The UK government has committed £25m to tackling the outbreak, including running trials for an Ebola vaccine.

The charity Save the Children will eventually take over management of the treatment centre.

Its chief executive, Justin Forsyth, said: "Ebola threatens thousands of people's lives across West Africa and could set back development many decades.

"The key to combating this epidemic is backing front line health workers and underpinning a fractured health system in Sierra Leone.

"Without urgent action to assist medics, many more children and their families will suffer and die from this most appalling and tragic disease."

The Secretary to the Borno State Government, Baba Ahmad Jidda reportedly said that Boko Haram has taken over the state

The activities of Boko Haram in Borno state have become cause for alarm, the Secretary to the State Government, Baba Ahmad Jidda has said.

The Nation reports that Jidda made a statement to newsmen in Abuja today, September 7, 2014 as regards the insecurity currently plaguing Borno.

The statement reads:

 “A deep appraisal of the condition prevailing in Borno State at the moment shows a disrupted environment that is in desperate need of peace and restoration.

“As a result of the insurgency caused by Boko Haram, large swathes of the land in the state is currently inaccessible. Normal governmental, economic, social and political activities have been dislocated with huge numbers of displaced persons living in refugee camps in Maiduguri, neighbouring states as well as Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

“The State of Emergency is still in force with its attendant curfews and restrictions on free movement and assembly.

“The Maiduguri Airport is also closed limiting access significantly to and out of Borno State. The threat to security of lives and property as a result of the criminal activities of the Boko Haram insurgents is everywhere and indeed the limited peace prevailing in Maiduguri and the few other areas is achieved largely due to alertness and corporation of the Civilian JTF and the security agencies.

“Moreover the search and rescue efforts for the abducted Chibok School girls remain on the front burner.

The above scenario presents a troubling condition that affects all and sundry in Borno State and the North-East as a Zone.”

 “At this very moment, most parts of Borno State are being occupied by Boko Haram insurgents. Government presence and administration is minimal or non-existent across many parts of the state, with economic, commercial and social services totally subdued. Schools and clinics remain closed.”

The SSG also reportedly said that it is necessary for all political leaders and stakeholders in Borno State to unite and meet with President Goodluck Jonathan for the purpose of finding a solution to the problem.

The Nigerian Medical Association has faulted the government’s instruction for all schools to resume September 22

Nigerian Doctors, under the aegis of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), have reportedly expressed displeasure at the new resumption date for primary and secondary schools announced by the Federal Government.

The government has said that students can now resume on September 22 as against October 12 after schools were shut indefinitely over the outbreak of Ebola in the country.

However, the NMA through its National Secretary-General, Dr. Olawunmi Alayaki,  has said that the schools are supposed to remain closed until there’s no case of Ebola (suspected or confirmed) left in the country.

The organization said:

 “We are not happy with this decision on the resumption of schools. Schools should be shut till the last suspected case or patient is certified free of the virus,” the NMA said.

 “ We can shift the resumption date till next year or in the next three months if that is the time it will take. Government should have enough time to follow the standard procedure for containing   the virus.

“Parents have no reason to be   in a hurry because if Ebola should enter any school, it will assume another dimension. Children cannot survive isolation like adults.

“Nigeria is peculiar because of her large population and we should be pragmatic and proactive. It   will not augur well for the country if we have another outbreak due to carelessness.”

Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua gave another surprising revelation in his church service on Sunday 7th August 2014, specifically calling for prayer for Pope Francis of the Catholic Church, as well as prophesying an imminent hijacking of a plane by ‘militants’.


“There is a very big religious leader,” Joshua began, describing the said person as a ‘father’ figure, widely respected across different religions.

“I have been praying for him,” he continued, adding that he received an alarming ‘vision’ concerning him the prior day.

“They should pray for him,” Joshua proceeded, although not specifying which area people should direct their prayer towards. “The clergyman I am talking about is the Pope,” he then clarified.

Continuing, Joshua prophetically warned of a plane being hijacked by ‘militant’ forces in a dramatic scene that would result in ‘breaking news’ worldwide.

“They will attempt to enter a plane,” the cleric declared. “You will hear ‘Breaking News’ of a hijacker inside the plane that carried the plane from its original direction to another direction.”

“We should pray so that it will not just end like that and we learn that there’s a crash,” he said, seemingly referring to the infamous Al Quaeda attack against America on September 11th 2001 where four commercial planes were hijacked by the terrorists.

“This is another big attempt they want to do,” Joshua warned, soliciting heightened security checks in airports worldwide to avert the impending disaster.

Last week, T.B. Joshua gave a widely reported prophecy concerning ‘approaching’ world events.

He said he had a vision of US President Barack Obama being rushed to hospital with a health challenge, another plane crash in the region around Russia and Ukraine and a political crisis in Nigeria sparked by the murder of a ‘bigshot’.

Joshua reminded congregants of the prophecy, adding that the killing of al-Shabab’s spiritual leader Ahmed Abdi Godane by US forces in an airstrike on Monday showed ‘God’ was involved.

Joshua had specifically called for prayer for Kenya related to a ‘militant’ plan in place to attack a presidential figure in Southern Africa. 

Former "X Factor" contestant Simone Battle's suicide has stunned her father ... who says the "G.R.L." singer never once let on that she was suffering as she got a taste of success in Hollywood.

Anthony Battle tells us he and his daughter hadn't spoke on the phone in a few weeks ... but they texted every day and she seemed to be doing just fine.

In fact, he says Simone was excited about where her career was heading. G.R.L. had recorded and released a song with Pitbull earlier this year.

We're told close friends of the 25-year old singer spoke with her via text the night before her death -- they also didn't sense anything was wrong.

When we asked Anthony if Simone was battling depression ... he said he was unaware of anything like that, but acknowledged ... "It's possible she may have had an invisible disability."

Anthony tells us Simone's boyfriend discovered her body in her bedroom ... but he doesn't suspect foul play.

An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday.

US singer Simone Battle took her own life on Friday, September 5, 2014 after she found dead in her Los Angeles home, reports say.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Simone was found hanging on a rod in the closet of her bedroom. Her body was found by her boyfriend.

The 25-year-old singer, who rose to fame on the US version of ‘X Factor’, was a singer in the girl group ‘G.R.L’ (a reboot of the Pussycat Dolls).

'I am so sad to hear about the news Simone Battle has passed away. She was such a fun nice person. It's such a loss. Rest in peace Simone', X Factor creator Simon Cowell wrote on his Twitter.

Battle’s autopsy has not been completed yet, L.A. County Cororner's Office says. The Autopsy will be carried out today (September 7, 2014).

The singer’s father says his daughter’s suicide has ‘stunned’ him as Simone never for once showed any signs that could raise major worry.

Weeks ago, US actor Robin Williams also committed suicide in his California home.
