Boko Haram attacks another town in Nigeria, kill over 150 people!

According to CNN report, suspected Boko Haram rebels again launched an attack in a northeastern town  of Gamburo, in Nigeria, near the border with Cameroon, killing at least 150 people, local officials and authorities said.

Although Boko Haram has not officially claimed responsibility for the attack but authorities said the way the attack was carried out and with the perpetrators wearing military uniform armed with high-powered firearms, there was no doubt that the deadly attack was staged by the notorious terror group.

Long before she became OPRAH!

Long before she gained the ability to shower free cars upon shrieking fans, our beloved mogul was just trying to make it in the entertainment biz. 

OWN just released footage of Oprah's very first audition tape for the talk show that made her famous. Let's journey back to 1983, a time when 29-year-old Oprah was so unknown that she actually had to spell out her name (what?!) for casting directors. But three years later, she was a successful host and an Oscar nominee for The Color Purple.

Neo-Nazi couple regrets they didn’t kill more ‘pedophiles’ as they’re sentenced to life!

According to reports, a white supremacist couple from South Carolina who were convicted of killing a registered sex offender smiled and kissed as they were sentenced to life in prison.

Jeremy Moody, 30, and his 36-year-old wife, Christine Moody, pleaded guilty to murder and other charges in the July 21 slayings of Charles “Butch” Parker and his 51-year-old wife, Gretchen Parker.

Jeremy Moody, who has “skinhead” tattooed across his neck, first admitted to the charges, including kidnapping and possession of a weapon during a burglary, and his wife did so minutes later.

Christine Moody smiled as her husband admitted to the charges and then told a judge she’d been promised “fame and fortune” in return for her guilty plea.

Investigators say the Moodys are members of the loosely organized online white supremacist group Crew 41 and decided to kill Parker, who was convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in 1991, because he had taken advantage of a disabled woman.

Jeremy Moody’s attorney told the judge his client suffered from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and he said the white supremacist was sensitive to sex abuse due to a family history.

Christine Moody’s attorney said his client had suffered childhood sexual abuse and was raped as an adult by a pedophile.

“She may have an infective instability that causes her to have radical views of society, and the need to have supremacy over her life and society at large,” said her attorney, Derek Chiarenza.

Jeremy Moody believed God wanted him to kill sex offenders, said a doctor who had evaluated him, but added that he was still able to determine right from wrong.

The Moodys were each sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for murder, along with concurrent life sentences and another five-year term related to the burglary and weapons charges. They were not sentenced for kidnapping due to the murder sentences.

After the judge read their sentences aloud, the couple kissed.

Jeremy Moody then shouted out that the sentences were “unfair.”

“Child molesters do not deserve to live,” he said. “They got exactly what they deserved. If I had to do it over again, I’d kill more. See you perverts later! That’s what child molesters get.”

Christine Moody said she only repented in court because her lawyer told her to, but she said it was a lie and that she hoped the victims’ family also died.

“Have no regrets, killing that pedophile was the best day of my life,” Christine Moody said.

Nigeria’s government acting like children, says Nobel-winning author Wole Soyinka!

The search for more than 200 girls in Nigeria is now “beyond the capacity” of the government and needs international support, Nigerian author Wole Soyinka told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday.

“This is a government which is not only in denial mentally, but in denial about certain obvious steps to take,” Soyinka, a Nobel laureate who is often referred to as the conscience of his nation, told Amanpour.

“It’s one of those rather child-like situations that if you shut your eyes, if you don’t exhibit the tactile evidence of the missing humanity here, that somehow the problem will go away.” It is not just “a Nigerian problem,” he said.

“I’m calling for the international community, the United Nations – this is a problem. This is a global problem. And a foothold is being very deeply entrenched in West Africa.”

The search for the girls, who were kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorist group on April 14, has seen little progress.

The issue, Soyinka said, has been addressed “very late and very cursorily.”

Amanpour had scheduled a live interview with Nigerian Information Minister Labaran Maku onTuesday; Maku failed to show up in time for the interview. He later spoke with CNN’s Isha Sesay. A man claiming to be Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in a newly released video "I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah.” 

Soyinka referred to Shekau’s video as a “charade” and “gleeful obscenity.” 

The U.S. said on Tuesday that it had offered, and President Goodluck Jonathan had accepted, an offer to discuss American aid in finding the girls. “President Jonathan should have asked for it from the very beginning,” Soyinka said.“ I don’t believe in false pride.

”Why, Amanpour asked, does Soyinka believe Jonathan is in denial? 

“It’s not only he. It’s the advisers around him. It’s a certain section of the nation, some of whom enjoy for various reasons a nation in a state of chaos. 

They profit by it, and in fact some of the, are guilty of provoking the situation.” “The person who has no excuse is the president of the nation.” The problem, he said, has been festering for years. 

“There have been numerous incidents like this,” he told Amanpour; the 2011 Boko Haram bombing of a United Nations compound in Abuja and extremist unrest over a 2002 beauty pageant being just two examples. “The pinpricks you’ve seen all over the world are consolidating into a situation of internal war – insurrection by this group.” One need only look at the history of Algeria or the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan to understand what is happening, he said. “Let’s not beat around the bush. We’re dealing with a monstrosity. We’re dealing with an affliction the likes of which the nation has never encountered.” The response must be rapid, he said. “Abduction, terrorism, suicide bombing – these are very difficult situations to deal with. But they are not unique.”

 “Where it will end, I do not know. But one thing is certain: The president and his government cannot sleep easy after what has happened to Nigeria.”

Monica Lewinsky breaks silence over affair with Bill Clinton: 'It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress'!

After a decade of silence over the affair with Former U.S President Bill Clinton.



Monica Lewinsky has finally decided to address the dramatic turn of events.

According to reports, Lewinsky claims that she has decided “it’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress” and to stop “tiptoeing” around her past.

“I am determined to have a different ending to my story,” she writes. “I've decided, finally, to stick my head above the parapet so that I can take back my narrative and give a purpose to my past. (What this will cost me, I will soon find out.)” she reportedly said.

Lewinski, now 40 stated that the affair with the former U.S # 1 man, which happened when she was a 22-year-old White House intern, occurred between two consenting adults. However, she admitted she “deeply” regretted the relationship.

“Sure, my boss took advantage of me,” she continued, “but I will always remain firm on this point: It was a consensual relationship. Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.

“The Clinton administration, the special prosecutor's minions, the political operatives on both sides of the aisle, and the media were able to brand me. And that brand stuck, in part because it was imbued with power." she allegedly said.

The UN Has A Stern Warning For Boko Haram – “There Is An Absolute Prohibition On Sexual Slavery”!

The United Nations has issued a stern warning to members of the Boko Haram sect following the release of the video in which leader Abu Shekau threatened to sell the girls kidnapped from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state - Nigeria.

"I abducted your girls"- Boko - Haram's Abu Shekau claims responsibility for chibok girls.

According to international newswire Reuters, the UN reminds Boko Haram that selling the girls would be slavery, prohibited by international law.

Speaking at a news briefing in Geneva, UN Human Rights spokesman, Rupert Colville said, “We warn the perpetrators that there is an absolute prohibition against slavery and sexual slavery in international law. These can under certain circumstances constitute crimes against humanity.

“That means anyone responsible can be arrested, charged, prosecuted and jailed at any time in the future. So just because they think they are safe now, they won’t necessarily be in two years, five years or 10 years’ time.”

Colville, saying that the girls could be exposed to “continuous physical, psychological, economic and sexual violence” and that forced marriage could have a “devastating” impact on victims, warned that any buyers would be liable too.

“The power differentials between girls and their ‘spouses’ are likely to undermine all autonomy, all freedom of will and expression of the girls. The situation they will be in will be tantamount to slavery, or slavery-like practices within the so-called marriage,” he said.

There was a subtle for the military too, this time from UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, who wrote President Goodluck Jonathan on April 28, saying that in sparing no efforts to bring back the girls, the military must respect the rights of others.

“Any rescue attempt must be made in line with international human rights standards,” Pillay said, noting previous “allegations of excessive use of force by the Nigerian military in anti-Boko Haram operations".
