Cameroon troops in ‘heavy clashes’ with Boko Haram

Cameroonian troops fought “heavy clashes” Tuesday with Boko Haram militants near the border with Nigeria as a security summit kicked
off in Niger on a regional plan to stop the Islamist fighters.

Boko Haram insurgents from neighbouring Nigeria attacked the far northern Cameroon border village
of Bonderi, a source told AFP, adding that “it’s too early to give a casualty toll”.

The fighting comes as Nigeria and its regional neighbours, including Chad, Niger and Cameroon, met in Niger’s capital Niamey to plan a strategy against the Islamist fighters.

Boko Haram controls swathes of Nigeria and has stepped up cross-border attacks in the region as
part of an insurgency that has left 13,000 dead and forced 1.5 million from their homes since 2009.

Chad sent a convoy of troops and 400 military vehicles into Cameroon Saturday to help in the fight against Boko Haram and its president has
called for the creation of a regional force.

Almost every practitioner, if not all have had Ifa initiation, even those who are not practitioners find themselves initiated for a convinced reason known to them. However, some IFA initiates raise their respective voice, lamenting​ why their initiation is futile, no improvement, no progress or whatsoever of any sorts.  Despite the assurance of being wealthy (or any desire) after initiation, everything seems to remain stagnant, some even went from bad to worse. Some even have abandoned Ifa because of this unfortunate reasons. While experiencing​ this, numerous questions pop up in mind; among are: why is this itẹlodu not effective? why is IFA initiation overrated? Why are my problems not solved yet despite what IFA
