Irked by the incessant deserting of his fighters, the new leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group has excoriated his fighters for their cowardice in the face of the Nigerian military onslaught. A Nigerian military source told YeyeNews.com that the new leader is frustrated by the reduced morale among his soldiers. According to this source, “The Amir is very bitter with his fighters. He even accused them of being weaker than women”.
“How do you expect to be rewarded with 72 virgins in heaven with this cowardice?”, the source quoted the BH leader as asking his fighters. The terrorist group has suffered significant depletion in its ranks due to the mass surrender of its members to the Nigerian military. A military source revealed to YeyeNews.com reporter that the army has set up a very lucrative incentive in the Rehabilitation and Reintegration program which is attracting the Boko Haram fighters.
“Many no longer desire the abstract promise of 72 virgins in heaven. They prefer the comfortable apartment, monetary compensation and access to women – even if not virgins – that the military-run rehabilitation camps provide for them. Their comrades who are in the rehabilitation camps are telling them that the place is better than the heaven they were promised. This is causing great confusion in their camps”.
Worried that the group is losing the ideological war to the military, the new leader told the fighters that anyone who deserts and surrenders to the army is not worthy of heaven. “You cannot compare what awaits you in heaven with the prostitutes those infidels are offering in those camps”, the Amir told the fighters. “To sleep with the prostitutes you will need to take different drugs to get your penis up but in heaven your erection never goes down. The virgins remain virgins no matter how many times you lay with them. That is the ultimate reward a man deserves. But only brave men who fight and die for the army of the Righteous shall be deserving to get that reward”.
However one of the Boko Haram fighters who surrendered recently told YeyeNews.com in Hausa that many of his former comrades are no longer convinced about those promises. “We want to enjoy the life in this world that we know. Nobody is certain what awaits in the afterlife. We will know when we get there . But before then let us enjoy this life that Allah has given us”.
