" It’s just that after my dad and my mum gave birth to me, they separated and went their different ways. So, my father got married to another woman and also my mother to another man. They separated because I was given birth to by two relations. My father and mother are actually brother and sister. They gave birth to me before they could realize that.Well, I learnt that when my mother was alive, she met my father. Then she was still in school and they were in the same class and the same village. But she didn’t know that they are closely related. So, I was born based on what our villagers regarded as abomination and therefore they had to separate. Because it was a big abomination, so they had to separate. Even, they attempted to kill my father in that village, but he fled, because in Warri where I come from, it is a taboo. They termed it incest."

Revealed! How Boko Haram Recruits Youths With $3000
Young Nigerians at the border town of Nigeria and
Niger Republic, Diffa, have confessed to be recruits of the Islamist
militant group, Boko Haram.
A member of a gang in Niger told the British
Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) that Boko Haram Islamist militants from
Nigeria “regularly come across the border, looking for recruits.”
The gang members, in their 20s, said they were
paid $3,085 (about N500,000) to join the insurgency and since they were
jobless, they were willing to take the cash, but with no interest in
protecting Sharia law.
However, they said they were willing to strike if
given the assignment to do so, as they blamed their decision to join
the militant group on their joblessness.
“They have paid Nigerian naira ($3,085, £1,835) to those of us who followed them over there,” one of the young men said.
“When they come, we inform them about what’s going on, what the security forces are up to.
“We have no jobs; some of us are still at high school, but we need money. Violence has become a form of work for us.”
These confessions were revealed in a documentary
published by the BBC, on Tuesday, after Thomas Fessy, a BBC reporter
visited Diffa region in Niger Republic.
BBC made contacts with this local gang, who claimed they collaborated with Boko Haram and agreed.
According to BBC documentary, five of these young
Nigerians said they had already joined the militant Boko Haram sect,
while two other members were killed in operations.
In total there are about a dozen gang members in a tiny, dark room, built with local mud-bricks.
When the reporter asked them: “If you are asked to launch an attack here, will you be ready to do that?”
Their response: “Yes, we are ready. We have no job, so, we are ready. That is what we are here for.”
When the BBC reporter asked if they agreed with
Boko Haram’s reason for fighting, they answered in unison: “No. We only
do it for the money.”
Arriving one by one to meet the BBC crew earlier
on a street corner in Diffa, they all wore skinny jeans, bright coloured
T-shirts and shiny chains, like those seen around the necks of American
rappers on music videos.
Their attitude and brand new clothes made them stand out when they walked down the dusty streets of Diffa.
The fashion style is clearly inspired by Western consumerism rather than Islamist militancy.
“We break into houses for cash; sometimes we beat people for money,
we steal their animals so we can eat and then we gather up and take
Tramol (an opiate drug), smoke ganja (marijuana) and drink alcohol,” one
of the gang members said
How Tenants Lynched Landlord’s son in Lagos,dumped corpse on road after mistaking him for a kidnapper
This is just so sad and people have to be careful.A son who had been
away for 24 years without contacting his family,finally came
home.Unknown to him, his mother had died and didn’t live in the compound
he went to visit that night .Probably because he wore dreads, a woman
saw him and raised an alarm and he was lynched to death..
Some tenants and members of the Odua People’s Congress have lynched a 41-year-old man in the Ajelogo area of Mile 12, Lagos State.
Tolulope Olajuwape, was beaten to death by residents of Fasanya Street near his father’s house after being wrongly accused of being a kidnapper.An unidentified woman was said to have raised a false alarm, after which Olajuwape was beaten to death.
The elder sister of the deceased, Mrs. Oluwakemi Adesanya said that her brother had been away from Nigeria for many years.She said on the fateful day, the deceased had gone to the area to visit their mother, who he did not know was dead.
She said,
Adesanya said,
It was learnt that the irate mob traced Olajuwape to the house and tortured him for about four hours.The developer of the said property was said to have called the tenants of the house on the telephone to inform them that the person being lynched was indeed the landlord’s son, but by then it was already too late.
After killing him, his corpse was thrown into the main road and was crushed by oncoming vehicles.
However, it was learnt that some of the tenants, including the woman who raised the false alarm, had been arrested.A landlord on Fadare Street, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said many of them could not do anything to save the victim.

The elder sister of the deceased, Mrs. Oluwakemi Adesanya said that her brother had been away from Nigeria for many years.She said on the fateful day, the deceased had gone to the area to visit their mother, who he did not know was dead.
She said,
“My brother has been away from Nigeria for about 24 years. He spent five years in Sierra Leone while he has spent the last 19 years in Guinea Bissau. However, four years ago, he came briefly to Nigeria and we discussed how we were going to renovate our late father’s house on Fasanya Street and let it out.We begged him to stay in Nigeria, but he refused. After he returned to Guinea Bissau, we lost touch because he lost his phone and my elder brother, who had his phone number, had misplaced his own phone as well. So, when our mother died over a year ago, Tolulope did not even know.On April 9, 2014, I received a phone call from one of my elder brothers in Kaduna, who told me that he heard that Tolulope was in Nigeria and was being beaten up near our father’s house. It was quite late in the evening and I was very far away, so I could not do anything that night.”Adesanya said the following morning, she visited the area where she was informed that a suspected kidnapper had been lynched.The matter was then reported at the Mile 12 Police Post after which investigations began.
Adesanya said,
“My aunt told me that my brother had gone to my father’s house around 7pm and did not like the condition of the house. He went inside the house and threatened to evict some people, but none of the tenants knew him because the house had been given to a developer.Maybe because my brother was on dreadlocks, he looked suspicious to them. I learnt that a woman raised the alarm and accused him of being a kidnapper and a thief. People immediately gathered around him and one OPC man descended on my brother.My brother ran to the next street – Fadare Street – where my mother’s house was situated. He entered the house and started knocking on doors, shouting ‘Iya Kemi e gba mi’ (Iya Kemi, help me). He did not know that Iya Kemi, our mother, was deceased and the house had been rented out.”
It was learnt that the irate mob traced Olajuwape to the house and tortured him for about four hours.The developer of the said property was said to have called the tenants of the house on the telephone to inform them that the person being lynched was indeed the landlord’s son, but by then it was already too late.
After killing him, his corpse was thrown into the main road and was crushed by oncoming vehicles.
“After killing my brother, someone explained to them that he was indeed the landlord’s son. When the mob noticed that they had made a mistake, they threw my brother’s corpse into the main road so that it would be crushed beyond recognition,”Adesanya said while fighting back tears.Adesanya wondered how the lynching took place without the knowledge of the police despite the fact that the scene of the incident was just two streets away from the Mile 12 Police Post.When our correspondent visited the house on Fasanya Street, all the rooms were locked and the house was deserted.
However, it was learnt that some of the tenants, including the woman who raised the false alarm, had been arrested.A landlord on Fadare Street, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said many of them could not do anything to save the victim.
He said,
“As you can see, I am very old and I have lost my sight. I knew the victim’s mother, Iya Kemi. I heard when somebody was shouting Iya Kemi’s name for help, but I cannot even walk without being aided.Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, had yet to reply to text messages sent to her telephones as of the time of going to the press.
It was later in the morning that I was informed that it was her son that was killed. Before her death, Iya Kemi used to cry that she missed her son, Tolu. It is unfortunate what happened.”
