:rotfl: < but only because he’s now free.

It had more to do with terrorism, however, than kids or napping.
 
This is in the South per the map; so this appears not to be the work of Boko Haram but other outlaws.

I read this past week, the government forces have even had to battle insurgents in the central part of Nigeria, in the Delta, there are warlords. All that said, compared to Boko Haram, you would think they would be tame.

A lot of Priests adopt religious names after they are ordained. For example Robert Peter Groeschel took the name Benedict after his ordination.

Your post is still funny though.:D:thumbsup:
