Boko Haram Commandants and combatants raped us, escaped girls

He soon began to threaten me with a knife to have sex with him and when I refused, he brought out his gun, warning that he would kill me if I shouted.

“Then he   began to rape me every night … I had never had sex before; it was very painful and I cried bitterly because I was bleeding afterwards.”

These were the words of a 15-year-old girl, who was abducted by Boko Haram and forcibly married to one of its commanders in a camp in the Sambisa Forest, Borno State.

The girl, according to a report by Human Rights Watch, was abducted in 2013 but she escaped after four weeks in captivity.

The teenager is one of the five girls that personally recounted their ordeals in the publication which was made public on Monday. She said that after her marriage to the commander who was in his early 30s, she was ordered to live with him in cave.

"I did nothing wrong and I'd do it again"- officer Darren Wilson says

Officer Darren Wilson says he has a clear conscience over the shooting death of Michael Brown, and would do it again if he finds himself in the same situation.

He spoke with ABC's George Stephanopoulos and said that if it'd been a white person he still would have fired his gun, that race had nothing to do with it. He said Brown had reached into his patrol car and attempted to grab his gun, and the teen had charged at him which is when he began shooting.

You dare not! Kim's mum warn her against divorcing Kanye West

Some of these foreign media outlets have no chill at all, they keep writing that Kim and Kanye's marriage is crumbling. Radar Online now claims Kris Jenner has forbidden Kim from divorcing Kanye over fears another divorce could ruin her career. The report below...

As Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kanye West crumbles, RadarOnline.com has learned that her momager Kris Jenner hasn’t exactly been a sympathetic ear. According to insiders, she’s forbidden her daughter to divorce the rapper, telling her she needs to keep her fame in focus and avoid another divorce debacle like she had with Kris Humphries!

“Kim told her mom that she and Kanye are arguing and Kris said that she better fix it because her career won’t survive another divorce,” an insider told Radar. “It was kinda of threat. Kim’s career is on top now and she doesn’t want her to screw it up.”

But despite Jenner’s best intentions to help her daughter avoid going through that again, the source said the momager is really part of the problem between Kardashian and her man.

“Kanye wanted to take over more of Kim’s career when they got married and he’s started doing that, but Kris won’t allow him to have 100 percent control,” the insider said. “She wants control and so does he, because he’s thinks of himself as a visionary and feels like he sees things differently than Kris.”

Summed up the source, “Kanye and Kris don’t see eye to eye.”

Of Ekiti hunger and dreams - Oluwatidamilare

I am very sad. I am not unconcerned about all the happenings in my dear state of Ekiti. Ever since the return of Ayodele Fayose into the political landscape of the state, the relative tranquility of the state has disappeared. I believe in fundamental human right of every citizen of Ekiti State, Fayose inclusive but I understand that human virtues supersede all. Ekiti has the virtue of being honourable people, the virtue was virtually removed during the first coming of Fayose with flagrant disrespect  for the government of the day. He flaunt the rule of law because he had the support of the Federal Government and was made the emperor of Ekiti before his ascension as the governor.
