Against common sense dismissal by analysts that Nigeria is working a ceasefire with Boko Haram fighters, Nigeria’s leaders keep lying to the people that something is being arranged.

Nigerians are advised not to pin any hope on the so called ceasefire, according to analysts.

The man Nigeria’s military claimed they have killed several times is the Supremo of the expanding Islamic Caliphate and despite claims by Nigeria’s military that they are about to flush the militants out, they appear to be waxing stronger.

In this new video, they are even now flaunting their territorial gains, which include 8 local governments in Borno, 5 in Adamawa and three in Yobe.

And they may be poised to capture more.In a new video released today, Boko Haram, flaunts the goings-on inside one of the towns under its control in North East Nigeria.

The leader, Abubakar Shekau re-affirmed that the group’s Islamic Caliphate is alive and further dismisses Nigeria’s ceasefire talk.

Here we share some of the screen grabs by AFP.
