While Nigeria’s
number one and obviously more legitimate President, Goodluck Jonathan is busy
enjoying himself in France, it may be salutary to a cross section of the militant world
that Nigeria
has made history by having its second president. This is as the incumbent is
still in power.
According to the mercurial leader of the notorious Islamic
group, Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, a new Caliphate has emerged in Nigeria.
Shekau via the internet declares a portion of Borno State
in Nigeria
his empire and promised not to leave his new found nation in a hurry. The
video, which is the most gruesome since Boko Haram started the tradition of
periodic releases of videotaped messages, also shows Nigerian soldiers fleeing
from approaching insurgents.
