The Governor of Borno State had had several meetings with Boko Haram members. I am not sure how he contacted them or made the arrangement. What am I saying here?

If the governor makes contact with them he should know some of them. Let's assume he doesn't know because they all wore mask as they appeared for these several meetings.

Now that we are talking about 'amnesty', will Boko Haram members pull off the mask? It is going to be interesting.

While talking about her new novel Americanah, with Kate Kellaway of The Observer, award winning author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said black women should embrace their natural hair. When asked to give an honest description of her hair and what it says about her, Chimamanda replied:

That is the best question! My hair is in tiny cornrows; I have a big ponytail on the top of my head. I quite like it. It is natural. I am a bit of a fundamentalist when it comes to black women's hair. Hair is hair – yet also about larger questions: self-acceptance, insecurity and what the world tells you is beautiful. For many black women, the idea of wearing their hair naturally is unbearable.

For three days, a pregnant Salvadoran woman was held captive in a mobile home in the Texas borderland, her dreams of reuniting with her family on Long Island replaced by fear of violent death.

Her captors freed her unharmed after her husband, who lives in Roosevelt, L.I., paid $3,990 in ransom. She later delivered a healthy baby boy, her third child.
