Boko Haram
Yesterday, September 26, reports surfaced that some armed gunmen believed to be Boko Haram members attacked Kuburvwa village in Borno state.
Naij.com reported that the gunmen invaded the village at about 6.30pm and started shooting sporadically causing the locals to take refuge in the bushes around them. According to what a security source told BBC, Boko Haram has now hoisted its flag in three villages in the north-east villages after over-running them during yesterday’s attack.
The villages are: Kubirivour, Boftari and Kuburmbalah. Yesterday’s attack led to the death of eight people including a village elder slaughtered by the terrorists.
According to other sources, the militants were also still in control of Malam Fatori town, on the Nigeria-Niger border.
Meanwhile, the deadly Boko Haram sect in two different attacks killed at least eight Nigerian soldiers in Borno state.
According to an army statement the militant sect attacked a convoy late on September 25, near Bama, 70 km southeast of Maiduguri, the state’s capital causing the deaths of an army officer, three soldiers, and three attackers.
The gunmen had also earlier attacked a military post at Logomani, 110 km northeast of Maiduguri city, killing four soldiers, the statement added. The Nigerian military also said that at least 22 insurgents died in the firefight.

UN Special Envoy on Tuberculosis: Giving Voice to the Voiceless 03/24/2016 07:24 am ET| Updated 2

Instead, March 24th - World TB Day-is just like most any other day. Little attention will be paid to the fact that tuberculosis is now the number one infectious disease killer in the world. TB has long been the stepchild of the three major global health diseases - AIDS, TB and malaria. A major reason why is that TB primarily impacts people living in poverty, those who are voiceless or whose voices are simply ignored. It is ironic that a curable disease remains a disease fighting to gain attention. It is also ironic that at a time when Ebola and Zika have put our nation on notice about serious health threats, the same concern is not given to TB, which can spread like wildfire just by coughing. We need to look no further than Marion, Alabama to see how quickly TB can overwhelm a city. TB in Marion is now worsethan in man...

She had heard enough; she needed to leave. As she walked away he grabbed her arm and told her to stay. He said "You're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don`t want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die." A man bought 12 flowers. 11 real and 1 fake. He said, "I will love you until the last flower dies." Boy: Can I take a photo? Girl: Why? Boy: I just want to show my children how their mom looked when she was younger. There was a girl named Becca and a boy named Joe. Becca was in a burning house. None of the firefighters could get in the house because the fire was too big.
