 of Oyo of Oyo Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi and his 4 wives are still 
having a blast in London. The royal father and his 4 oloris jetted off 
to London few weeks ago for his 76th birthday. They were first spotted 
at Westfield Mall in London where they went for shopping. Here they are 
sightseeing with other Londoners.  </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 130%;">Chopping life Alaafin, <i>enjoymento</i> oloris, lol. They will make a good reality show. Photos of them at the mall. (yes I didn’t post it before) after the cut…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 130%;">The
 federal government recently denied that they engage Australian 
negotiator Stephen Davis to help broker peace with the Boko haram 
insurgents. Davis in an interview with Vanguard corroborated the FG 
stance but he added that Boko haram members have promised to release the
 Chibok girls if their sponsors were arrested. Below is an excerpt of 
the interview:  </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 130%;">I
 was not engaged by the Federal Government of Nigeria, any state 
government or any other party. I went to Nigeria in late April in an 
effort to facilitate a handover of the Chibok captives after discussing 
such a possibility with former commanders of JAS (Jama’atu Ahlul Sunnah 
Lih Da’awa wal Jihad otherwise known as JAS) and others close to Boko

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 130%;">I
 gave a radio interview to the ABC in Australia which  subsequently told
 me that after the transcript was posted to their online site, it had 
been picked up in the UK and Sky News requested an interview. In the 
hope of bringing attention to the many other girls and boys kidnapped by
 Boko Haram, I agreed to a television interview. That interview took 
place in Channel 7 studios in Australia and it was at that point that I 
was told it was an interview with Arise TV. I had not heard of Arise TV 
and did not know it was owned by a Nigerian or indeed that it had any 
association with Nigeria. At the time of giving the TV interview, I was 
of the understanding that it would be broadcast by Sky News in the UK. 
On Mr Obiagbena, I have not met him or ever been contacted by him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 130%;">Many
 Nigerians find it extremely difficult to understand how the former 
Chief of the Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ihejirika, who actually fought Boko 
Haram elements and was accused of genocide could be linked with 
sponsoring the violent group.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 130%;">It
 is much easier to understand Mr Sheriff’s alleged association with Boko
 Haram than any association of Mr Ihejirika. Mr Sheriff  was  said to 
have a long history of promoting groups to assist in his past efforts to
 win the governorship of Borno State.  On 29 July 2009, there was a 
confrontation with security officers at Mamudo Village, along 
Potiskum/Damaturu Road, Yobe. 33 JAS members were killed. Later that 
night, there was a long battle with combined security operatives at 
Railway Terminus, Maiduguri, Borno State. Scores were killed and the 
JAS  operational base was destroyed. Yusuf was subsequently captured by 
the military and handed over to the police. The JAS alleged that it was 
on Sheriff’s orders that Yusuf was executed in Maiduguri on 30 July 
2009. Shekau was presumed killed in the same battle and a corpse was 
identified as that of Shekau. Thus the remaining JAS leaders made it 
clear their intention was to kill Sheriff and so it is right that 
Sheriff claims he is a victim of  JAS. The Boko Haram we see today is 
not the JAS that was operational under Yusuf. Shekau emerged in mid-2010
 and publicly claimed the leadership of a reinvigorated JAS.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 49.5pt; margin-right: 45.0pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 130%;">Shekau
 formed Ansaru which he used for kidnapping and beheading victims. This 
behaviour was a major departure from the original mandate of the JAS 
which was to purify Islam and return it to the behaviour example in the 
life of the Prophet. Many among the JAS leadership are no longer active 
and others have been killed. This has allowed Shekau to take the JAS to 
more extreme action and expanded the kidnapping, bombing and 
slaughtering. The Boko Haram we have today is a much expanded Ansaru. 
What we see now is not the Yusufiya which wanted very much to settle 
scores with Sheriff.  It is Boko Haram as a partner to ISIS and Al 
Shabaab.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 49.5pt; margin-right: 45.0pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 130%;">Now
 I will offer an opinion as to the motives of the sponsors of Boko 
Haram.The political sponsors of Boko Haram seem to think that they can 
use Boko Haram to terrorise Nigeria to demonstrate that the current 
government cannot ensure the security of Nigerian citizens both Muslim 
and Christian. Therein the sponsors assume they can undermine any 
efforts of the current government to be re-elected in 2015. Herein lies 
the flaw for the conflict and instability currently being fanned suits 
the aims of Al Qa’eda and the architects of terrorism. Should the 
sponsors of Boko Haram win government in 2015, they will likely find 
that they cannot turn Boko Haram off or that Boko Haram will demand 
control of at least Borno State in return for reducing their attacks. 
Borno State may be just the beginning of an expanding caliphate.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 130%;">Several
 Boko Haram commanders and other persons close to and respected by Boko 
Haram have told me the names of some of the sponsors of Boko Haram. They
 have also described how some funds are transferred and arms made 
available. I have made public some of that information. I have also been
 told by some commanders that if  one of the sponsors  is arrested, they
 will surrender, release the girls and give  information on the 
sponsors. Not all Boko Haram commanders will follow this lead but it may
 be a firm step towards dismantling or at least isolating Boko Haram.</span>
