Emails Vs Letters

In the olden days, letters were written on paper and sent by the
postal system or by an intermediary. A letter from Nigeria to the US
can take weeks to reach its destination and the reply would also take
weeks to get back to the sender in Nigeria. Some letters get lost and
don't reach their destinations. Also, the letter can be tampered with
by the intermediary, leaked to the wrong people or re-packed with a
letter bomb (like the Dele Giwa case in Nigeria). A secret love affair
can be exposed through a leaked love letter or card. When lovers break
up and marry other people, they often have to burn up a pile of
letters and photographs from their exes to re-assure their current
partners of their fidelity. Sending big parcels by post costs a lot of
money. Telephone conversations are faster but cannot be documented
like letters. Up till now, call logs only show that Number A was used
to call Number B today, without recording their conversation,voices or
faces. Text messages are documented but are automatically deleted to
make way for new messages and are not printable. Facebook messages are
printable but auto-deleted to make way for new messages.

Emails are the perfect solution to these problems. They are delivered
within minutes regardless of distance, can be as lengthy as letters,
are documented like letters, and cannot leak unless either the
sender's or the recipient's email account is hacked. Above all, nobody
can lace an email with a letter bomb. Whole books (e.g. E-books, and
Microsoft Word documents) can be uploaded and sent as attachments in
an email at no extra cost. Love emails and photos from exes remain
hidden away in the email box and don't have to be deleted. You don't
have to delete a photo of your child by another man/woman from your
email box to please your current partner.

Cameroonian "3rd Lady" kidnapped by Boko Haram

The wife of Cameroon's vice-prime minister was kidnapped and at least
three people were killed in an attack by Boko Haram militants in the
northern town of Kolofata on Sunday, Cameroon officials said.

A local religious leader, or lamido, named Seini Boukar Lamine, who is
also the town's mayor, was kidnapped in a separate attack on his home.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Boko Haram, the Nigerian Islamist militant group, has stepped up
cross-border incursions into Cameroon in recent weeks as the country
has deployed troops to the region, joining international efforts to
combat the militants.

"I can confirm that the home of vice-prime minister Amadou Ali in
Kolofata came under a savage attack from Boko Haram militants," Issa
Tchiroma told Reuters by telephone.

"They unfortunately took away his wife. They also attacked the
lamido's residence and he was also kidnapped," he said, and at least
three people were killed in the attack.

A Cameroon military commander in the region told Reuters the VPM, who
was at home to celebrate the Muslim feast of Ramadan with his family,
was taken to a neighbouring town by security officials.

"The situation is very critical here now, and as I am talking to you
the Boko Haram elements are still in Kolofata town in a clash with our
soldiers," said Col Felix Nji Formekong, the second commander of
Cameroon's third inter-army military region, based in the regional
headquarters Maroua.

The Sunday attack is the third by Boko Haram in Cameroon since Friday.
At least four soldiers were killed in previous attacks. About 22
suspected Boko Haram militants, who have been held in Maroua since
March, were on Friday given prison sentences ranging from 10 to 20
years. It is unclear whether the events are related.
Boko Haram have killed hundreds of people this year, mostly in
north-eastern Nigeria, although they have bombed places across the
country. A bomb attack on a Catholic church in northern Nigeria's main
city of Kano killed five people and wounded eight on Sunday, a senior
police officer said. Churches have been a favourite target for the
militants.
The attacker threw the bomb at worshippers on their way out of the
church, police commissioner Adenrele Shinaba told Reuters. Police
cordoned off the scene.
In a separate incident, a female suicide bomber tried to attack police
officers on the streets. She killed herself but only wounded two of
them, Shinaba said.
