Forced to Choose: Ex-Captive Shares Horrific Experience in Boko Haram Camp A former captive of Boko Haram has shared her harrowing experience of being held in a militant camp for four years. The woman, who was forced into labor and abuse, revealed that she and others were repeatedly pressured to renounce their Christian faith and convert to Islam. Those who refused, like herself, were subjected to harsh treatment and brutality. In an interview, she recounted making four failed escape attempts, each met with severe punishment. It was on her fifth attempt that she finally managed to gain freedom. Her story sheds light on the extreme tactics employed by Boko Haram to force conversions and control captives.
According to her, most relationships in the entertainment industry are strictly business and commercial. She explained that the kind of relationship that exists between industry players is that of acquaintances, and business associates, although she agreed that one can make a true friend out of their colleagues. “I feel like this industry, there’s no friendship in this industry. It’s more about acquaintances, business associates, It’s not really friendship. Maybe one or two people but in reality, it’s always been like what you can do for me and what I can do for you,” Efia Odo said in a report on 3news.com. The socialite said she has learnt a great deal from trying to establish friendships with colleagues in the entertainment industry.
