Update: Boko Haram is set to conduct an Islamic Graduation ceremony for over 100 forgotten women and kids who were kidnapped in Woro, Kwara State 4-months ago, where the Emir & Imam rejected Sharia. And, the cost of the ceremony will be added to the bill sent to the Government.
After forcibly converting them to Islam, the terrorists taunted families that they spent the past months teaching all the surviving victims Quran recitation and Islam teachings, and many of the captives have done well, so they’d be rewarded with graduation ceremonies soon.
But whatever they spend will be added to the ransom demand they will be sending to the Government.
— Confused family members shared with SaharaReporters.
Back in February this year, Woro community in Kaiama LGA, Kwara North was attacked by a Sadiku-led Boko Haram faction, a Sahel Terror network slowly creeping down southern Nigeria, per Zagazola Makama.
They were angry after the Emir and Imam repeatedly rejected their imposition of Shariah in the community and then reported them to the Nigerian Army.
So they stormed the village on an evening and massacred over 200 people, in a two days operation; Incl. the Emir’s wives and kids, the community Chief Imam, a school principal, a headmistress and several students, and kidnapped 176 people including pregnant women and kids.
This is just one of many forgotten kidnap cases in the country.
Last April, Boko Haram demanded ₦3.7bn for 400 forgotten women and children they kidnapped in Ngoshe, Borno State months earlier, or they’d be executed. They then dared the Nigerian Army to come after them, Telegraph reported.

I remember few weeks after my Call to the Bar, I went for an interview at a SAN’s office in Ikoyi. To this day, it remains the worst interview experience I’ve ever had.
I arrived properly dressed and sat at the reception while waiting to be called. After a while, a Senior Advocate walked in with two other people. What surprised me was that he was wearing jeans and a T-shirt on a workday, so I had no idea he was the SAN.
Out of respect, I bowed my head slightly and said, “Good afternoon, sir.”
He asked politely if I was a client. I told him no, that I was there for an interview.
Suddenly his tone changed. He raised his voice and said,
“Oh, you’re a lawyer and you can’t stand up to greet me?”
In my mind I was thinking, why should I jump up to greet someone I don’t even know, especially someone dressed casually like that? But of course I stood up and said, “Sorry, sir.”
He then went on to emphasize that he was a SAN and that a young lawyer like me should know how to greet elders properly.
Honestly, in that moment I felt shame, anger, and disgust all at once. I just wanted to leave the place as quickly as possible.
They later brought out a written test and said I had 30 minutes to complete it. I didn’t even spend five minutes. I just marked answers randomly and submitted it. My ride was already waiting outside and I was heading out when someone rushed after me saying the SAN wanted to see me.
So I went back.
He started a long lecture about respect and how young lawyers must greet elders properly. I didn’t even bother answering most of his questions because, at that point, I had already lost interest.
I eventually told him, “Sir, I already made a first impression with you, and I don’t think I stand a chance here.”
He continued explaining how important it is to greet elders, but in my mind I kept thinking: If I had been a client instead of a young lawyer looking for a job, would he have raised his voice like that?
After that, they asked me to wait downstairs for the proper interview with the practice manager of the oil and gas firm. When she asked why I wanted to leave, I simply told her I was no longer interested.
And that was it. I left.
The supposed salary was ₦500,000, but honestly I had no regrets walking away. I couldn’t imagine working in an environment like that.
My only regret till today is that I didn’t walk out the moment he raised his voice at me.
@lowkeyplease @shpahrani @feralflower7@roseeprints I agree to this 100%. I think the line between arranged and forced marriage becomes very thin when family involvement starts to override the couple’s consent or choice. the choice becomes more about obligation, duty, or pressure to please family, it stops being a true choice.
Before a breakthrough, life often withdraws you from the crowd. It eliminates distractions, inauthentic relationships, shallow validation, and easy options that would keep you from reaching your full potential
Lowering the gaze is 1 of the most underrated cures in life. It protects your heart, keeps your mind clean, and stops many problems before they even begin. Most of the things that pull us into sin or negativity start with the eyes. When you control that, everything becomes easier
